Swiped: New Normal Dating
Okay, in 2016, I wrote this blog post Modern Day Dating (just click that to read the 2016 article before scrolling through this post…Well, might give you a refresher.)
In 2021, in the middle of pandemic where no one can even travel a few miles away from home or dine out, are the ones in my previous list still holds their stand or do we have a new version of New Normal Dating?
During pandemic, dating apps were getting famous again; Tinder, Bumble & Hinge are actually saved on my phone (Not proud but….yes.) What really happens when you’re single during a pandemic? For what I have seen in the internet for the past few months, people (not only single ones) learned how to cook, bake, plant and even make soap & candles; but most of all, they did Tiktok (A video app that showcases musical, comedy acting and dancing talents) and since it was a lockdown situation all over the world ,any couples have tried doing the tiktok and showing the world how lonely singles are in their homes. Yes, you all deserve to hear that coz I know, you’ve been watching with envious eyes while they do sweet stuff in their videos.
So let’s go back to the real deal here, the million dollar question is…how can singles find love in the middle of the pandemic using the internet and other dating apps? I have listed some few points for the New Normal Dating;
Dating Apps are not yet an old news. Now that we have established that no one can interact in person, the new normal, well, we may refuse to believe it but yes, it still involves the very large pool of dating apps. Admit it or not, at some point, you or one of your friends or colleagues have engaged into having a dating app profile. Although you are not expected to flaunt it everywhere but during this new normal, it is easier for someone to swipe right than to go out and engaged with a eyeball or meet ups.

The Drawbacks of Parting Ways
When tragedy happens, and relationships end, there will come a time you’ll remember what happened but you have already forgotten the feeling, or maybe if it still lingers in your mind, you’ll just sit and watch yourself regret. When you thought memories will all just fade easily… you’re wrong. Memories linger in pictures, conversations and […] The Drawbacks of Parting Ways Continue reading The Drawbacks of Parting Ways
How Rejections Cause Dreams To Turn To Ashes
I have seen so many posts about rejection in LinkedIn ad I think I deserve to share my own experience in rejection. When I was 1st year in university, I wanted to be a TV Presenter, Broadcaster and dreamt to become a CNN Reporter. When I was in my 2nd year, I wanted to become a literature geek. I wanted to write poems and study … Continue reading How Rejections Cause Dreams To Turn To Ashes
Tagalog: The Nearly-Forgotten Language
“He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.” – Jose Rizal, Philippine’s National Hero.
Have you ever been a country where no one speaks your language? Have you even been in a country where English is not that popular? Have you ever had a conversation with someone who doesn’t completely speak your language? Were you able to understand them or you end up choosing to speak with someone who would understand what you exactly say?
I was born in the Philippines and my mother tongue is Kapampangan, it’s one of the many dialects used in our country. Our national language is Tagalog. We use Tagalog to understand all the Filipinos all over the country regardless what their dialects are. I was taught Tagalog in school because in our house, we use Kapampangan. It is essential for a Filipino to learn the language because it is what we use to communicate to each other.
But throughout the years, I have noticed that children who were naturally born Filipino are well-versed in speaking English rather than Tagalog. I have met people who was never taught Tagalog in their household just because English is more appropriate to learn because it is used as universal language and well, in my country, speaking English gives you lots of advantage. English makes a Filipino sound smart.

Why Does Talking About SEX Makes You The Weird One?
“Masturbation is insanely amazing but the gift of giving orgasms and receiving orgasms from another human is invaluable.” ― Helen Edwards, Nothing Sexier Than Freedom
At 28, I’m never opposed to talk about sex, however, due to other circumstances, I was silenced and yet to advertise what I know and feel about it. I was never the angel kind of friend, I always have this evil stuck in me, waiting to be unleashed. I said evil yes, but it’s not the evil you are thinking about. I grew up thinking sex is a form of evil that was lying around tempting people, well, ask my religion about that. It’s never the religion, actually, it’s the people who is making it sounds so bad.
Considering we are in the 21st century, where women are already in the same level of men and sometimes exceeds society’s expectations too, I was wondering why Sex Education is still a topic for debate. I was from a country where teenage pregnancy

The World Began To Change
Soon, I will be going back to work but as it was expected, we aren’t sure about the business yet coz most of the business related to tourism is currently struggling.
I have been asked to go on leave with no pay since April 1st which was a bummer coz I needed money to pay bill…well actually, not only me, but everyone needs to pay the bills every month. It was a struggle on how to budget my remaining money on my account. I was thankful enough that I am living with some family members and they are supporting me on food and other necessities.
Staying at home with no paying job for 3 months has somehow changed my perception of the outside world. I saw how the world united and were divided as well because of the pandemic; I saw how the government where I was born has become the talk of the whole world. I also saw how my countrymen deal with just pressure given during this pandemic.
