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.

Hola a todos! It’s been super duper rainy these past few days—like, every five minutes! I hope you’re staying dry and safe, especially if you’re here in the Philippines. Please take extra care, everyone! And guess what? It’s August again, which means it’s my birth month! Yehey! How will I celebrate my birthday this year? Honestly, I don’t really know yet. I have a few little things I’d love to do with mi familia, but nothing too grand. I think I just want to keep it simple, just like the previous years. Mount Pinatubo Crater Lake God has been so good to me, always. I’m incredibly grateful for all the blessings He continues to give me, for the people He has placed in my life, and for the opportunity to be blessed so I can also be a blessing to others. Here’s to another year of life, love, lessons, and countless reasons to be grateful. Welcome back to another new blog post! Another day, another travel story to share. This time, let’s talk about hiking. Let me ask you—have...

Makati City: The "Gangnam Style" Experience At Gentleman Korean Restaurant

Ahn-nyeong-ha-se-yo!(that's hello in korean, and that's all I know) Welcome to Korea! Ooppss! Just kidding, I haven't been there yet though, hopefully the soonest? Well, as they say "keep your fingers crossed". Anyway, while the skies are cloudy and dark gray outside, downpour is about to start, me here typing my new post for my blog while enjoying my brewed coffee. Hope you're at your best mode while reading this too, now let's talk about Korea! Not really about their country but my experience eating in a korean restaurant last year with my japanese friends. It was after our business meeting when I was invited to join them for dinner. At first I didn't know where would we eat, I was somehow understood them but all I heard that time was "gentleman". It was just a treat, so I had no choice but to say okay than no way. I honestly miss them now, sadly I can't speak fluent "nihongo", the japanese language, so they had no opti...
