Perfectly Imperfect Me





Title: Perfectly Imperfect Me
Writer: Mark Andrew Proctan Adonis (SuperMarkyMacky)



I wasn't born rich, I wasn't born to be royalty, I wasn't born with superpowers, and I wasn't born to be the next Helen of Troy, "the face that launched a thousand ships". I honestly don't know why, for God's sake, why? I guess, I was stubborn in my past life, but all kidding aside. It's somewhat fine. As I assessed myself in the mirror, I could see a "jack of all trades", master of none, a "so-so" in all aspects. I can say, I'm at this stage where I'm still struggling to wholeheartedly accept myself, as I am, and it's somewhat fine. Self-acceptance, big word for many and a challenging work for me.

It's a long and winding road, with humps and bumps, especially nowadays, we are living in a generation where more often than not, the amount of likes on your Instagram account is so precious. Subscribers on your YouTube channel? The more, the merrier. Hearts on your tweets and TikTok videos? The more, the better.

We are living in a generation where everyone seems seeking validation from others, from strangers on Social Media platforms, from netizens, and it's undeniably contagious.

Everyone has their own timeline, as they say. And here I am, still acknowledging the process of embracing my flaws. I'm not yet fully ready to accept the "perfectly imperfect me" and it's somewhat fine. I'm not going to rush this. I'm not going.

Paradise Philippines 2025: Siargao

Para, para, paradise!! Lovely morning, y’all! How’s everyone doing? It’s already May, and so much has been happening lately, office dramas, rotational brownouts, mood swings, the rainy season creeping in, rising inflation, bits of great news, and heartbreaking headlines caused by corrupt politicians. But through it all, you and I still have to keep moving forward, keep showing up, and keep choosing life every single day. That’s probably why little escapes and quiet moments away from the noise feel extra special these days. Today, we’re diving into a new blog post, and I have a question for you: if you were given the chance to escape today — even just for a little while — away from all the responsibilities and stress of the world, where would you go? Would you finally visit the place you’ve been dreaming about for so long? Or would you rather wander off to somewhere random, with no plans at all? More than two years ago, I found myself asking this question: now that I finally had...

Museo San Agustin Intramuros: Tale Of The Oldest Stone Church In The Philippines

It's not fool to say that April month is on its way! Aren't you excited? One more week to go and we need to turn another calendar page. What are you looking forward to? Yey! The long wait is almost over and I can feel the summer here in the Philippines. Without a doubt, one of the things you have on your list this April is "grand vacation". For students, definitely a much longer hours of sleep since officially most are already on school break this time. For catholics, let's not forget that Holy Week falls on April this year. Are you ready for the Visita Iglesia(church visit)? Well, you're maybe still on the process of searching for your seven churches and if I'm correct you might wanna consider  San Agustin Church especially if your route is just within Manila City. Aside from Casa Manila, this is also a must-see place in the Walled City, Intramuros . It was last year when I visited this church for the holy week also and that was the only time I had a ch...

Manila City: Sta. Ana's Tesoros delos Desamparados Festival Grand Procession

Viva! Viva Maria! Viva! Viva Maria! Viva! Viva! A strong, unsynchronized yet passionate cheer was heard from the devotees and parishioners of the image of Our Lady of Abandoned (Tagalog: Ina ng Walang Mag Ampon, Spanish: Nuestra Senora de los Desamparados) when we entered the gate of Sta. Ana Church. Pooshhh! And a colorful confetti welcomed us, fell slowly and freely from the ceiling to the ground. I was near the walkway to the altar when I said "Thank God! (sigh) Finally the procession is over". Ok, you might be thinking what is this all about? It was the flowery and grand fiesta procession I attended last May 12 in Sta. Ana, one of the towns in the city of Manila. I'd say, living here is an advantage for someone who is a culture-seeker, history buff and foodie like me. Old houses, church and great eateries to food crawl. There are streets that will somewhat bring you back to the old style Manila. Grand Fiesta Procession is one of the activities of Tesoros De ...
