You scroll through your feed—just for a minute, you tell yourself. But you know how it goes. One minute turns into ten, then suddenly an hour disappears, and you’ve fallen into a rabbit hole of posts, screenshots, conspiracy threads, and “breaking updates” from pages you’ve never even heard of. And here’s the wild part: half the time, you don’t even know which parts are true. If you’ve ever felt that, trust me—you’re not alone. You live in a time where fake news spreads faster than real news. People don’t fact-check anymore; they react. A headline doesn’t even need to make sense. As long as it's dramatic, emotional, or shocking, people hit “share” like it’s some kind of reflex. And on the other side of those posts? Not always innocent people having fun online. Sometimes it’s trolls. Sometimes it’s people with agendas. Sometimes it’s… well, let’s just call them what they are: the dirty hands of those who benefit from keeping you confused. You see it all around—manipulation dressed as information. Politicians who twist narratives. Groups who create drama out of thin air. People who pretend to be “concerned citizens” but are actually paid to mislead. It’s dirty, chaotic, and honestly… exhausting. And the saddest part? Many people you know—friends, relatives, even smart people—fall for it. You’ve probably tried to warn someone before. You message a friend saying, “Hey, that article is fake.” But then they respond with, “A lot of people shared it, so it must be true.” And you just sit there, staring at the screen, wondering how many more lies are circulating in everyone’s feeds. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to fall for any of it. You can choose to pause. To question. To check where the information came from before letting it shape your beliefs. You can choose to be the friend who doesn’t instantly rage-share. The one who doesn’t fall for clickbait. The one who thinks before reacting. Because in a world full of noise, your clarity is power. And honestly? Your friends need someone like you—someone who isn’t afraid to look deeper, think harder, and see beyond the manipulation. If fake news is the disease infecting social media, then awareness is the cure. And awareness starts with you. So the next time something pops up on your feed that seems too wild, too emotional, or too perfectly designed to make you angry… Pause. Breathe. Double-check. You’re smarter than the lies. And you deserve better than the chaos they create.

Let’s be real for a second: there is absolutely no reason why work should be harming you. None. Not one. Yet here you are, dragging yourself into another day, feeling that familiar pinch of tension behind your eyes or that tightness in your chest the moment you open your inbox. And you wonder, Is it just me? Am I being dramatic? It’s not you. And no, you’re not being dramatic. Somewhere along the way, society sold us the ridiculous idea that burnout, anxiety, fear, and emotional exhaustion are just part of “adulting.” Like it’s some badge of honor to suffer your way through making a living. As if you’re supposed to sacrifice your wellbeing simply because you clock in. But let me tell you something you need to hear clearly: Work should never feel like a threat. Not to your mind, not to your spirit, and definitely not to your health. Imagine walking into a job where you don’t have to mentally rehearse conversations before speaking up. A place where your ideas aren’t dismissed, your boundaries aren’t questioned, and your humanity isn’t optional. Imagine starting your day without that little spike of cortisol the minute your phone buzzes with a work notification. Feels unreal, right? But it shouldn’t. You know how you talk to your friends about relationships? You say things like, “If they make you feel constantly stressed, unsafe, or unappreciated, that’s not love—that’s a problem.” Well, newsflash: work is a relationship too . Your job should respect you. Your job should challenge you, not damage you. Your job should provide stability, not emotional landmines. Your job should help you grow, not shrink. And before someone jumps out of the bushes with the classic “But that’s just how the real world works,” let me gently remind you: the “real world” was built by people. Which means it can be changed by people. Which means you don’t have to settle for environments that drain the life out of you. You’re allowed to expect more. Demand more. Seek more. Because here’s the truth you might have forgotten somewhere between deadlines and trying not to fall apart: You’re a human being first. A worker second. Your worth is not defined by productivity charts or performance reviews. Your value doesn’t go down when you’re overwhelmed. You don’t become replaceable just because someone above you has forgotten how to lead with empathy. You deserve peace. You deserve a job that doesn’t hijack your nervous system. You deserve a life where making a living doesn’t cost you your inner calm. So the next time you find yourself swallowing stress like it’s part of the job description, I hope you pause and remember: There is zero reason—none—why work should harm you. And if it is? That’s your sign that something needs to change. Not you, but the environment you’re in. Because you deserve to earn a living without losing yourself.

Hey, can I just get real with you for a second? Have you noticed how lying has become… almost effortless for people nowadays? Like, it’s no longer this heavy, shameful thing people try to hide—they just toss it out there, neat and casual, as if it’s nothing, as if the truth was never even an option. You’d think with all the information at our fingertips, honesty would be more common. But nope. Somehow, some people have mastered the art of bending reality to suit their needs—and they do it so smoothly, you almost feel silly for trusting your own instincts. You meet someone, they smile, they nod, they agree with your every word, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you sense… wait, this doesn’t add up. And sure enough, later, you find out it was all smoke and mirrors. What blows my mind is how unapologetic it’s become. It’s like lying has become a currency, and the richer you are in deception, the more doors you can open. People lie to climb, to impress, to avoid, to manipulate—and somehow, the world seems to bend around it. Meanwhile, if you even stretch the truth a tiny bit, suddenly you’re “untrustworthy.” Hypocrisy is running the show, and you’re left wondering if honesty even matters anymore. And here’s the kicker—you start second-guessing yourself. You wonder if your instincts are off, if maybe you’re too naive, too rigid, too… honest. It’s exhausting, really, trying to navigate a world where the truth is negotiable and people’s smiles might just be a mask for convenience. But here’s the thing I’ve realized: recognizing it is power. You can’t control how easily others lie, but you can control how you react. You can choose to protect your truth, your integrity, your sanity, and maybe even start seeing the patterns in the chaos. It doesn’t make you bitter—it makes you awake. And honestly? There’s a kind of quiet thrill in knowing you see through the smoke while everyone else is distracted by the glitter. So, next time someone spins their story too neatly, or when their words sound just a little too convenient, remember—you’re not crazy. You’re just awake in a world that’s asleep to honesty. And maybe, just maybe, being honest in a world full of casual liars is the bravest move you can make.

Tortang Talong, a popular Filipino dish, is a delightful eggplant omelet that tantalizes the taste buds with its unique combination of flavors and textures. This dish is a harmonious marriage of charred and peeled eggplant, mixed with beaten eggs, onions, garlic, and a touch of seasoning. < Back Tortang Talong Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 8 - 12 mins Serves: 4 Level: Beginner About the Recipe Tortang Talong, a popular Filipino dish, is a delightful eggplant omelet that tantalizes the taste buds with its unique combination of flavors and textures. This dish is a harmonious marriage of charred and peeled eggplant, mixed with beaten eggs, onions, garlic, and a touch of seasoning. Tortang Talong is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course alongside steamed rice or as a side dish to complement other Filipino favorites. It is often served with a dipping sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce, and chili, adding a tangy and slightly spicy kick to the overall taste experience. This beloved Filipino recipe is not only a celebration of flavors but also a reflection of the country's rich culinary heritage. It embodies the warmth of home-cooked meals and the joy of shared moments around the dining table. Tortang Talong is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of Filipino cuisine, transforming simple ingredients into a dish that captures the hearts and palates of those who savor it. Ingredients 4 large eggplants (talongs) 4 large eggs 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves of garlic, minced Salt and pepper to taste Cooking oil for frying Preparation Preheat your grill or stovetop burner to medium-high heat. Place the eggplants directly on the grill or burner and cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh becomes soft. This process usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can roast the eggplants in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 30-40 minutes or until tender. Remove the eggplants from the heat and let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle. Peel off the charred skin gently, keeping the flesh intact. Set aside. In a bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the ingredients. Take one peeled eggplant and flatten it gently using the back of a fork, spreading the flesh slightly. Dip it into the beaten egg mixture, making sure it is well coated on all sides. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the eggplant in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining eggplants. Once cooked, transfer the tortang talong to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve the tortang talong hot as a main dish with steamed rice or as a side dish. It pairs well with a dipping sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce, and chili. Enjoy your homemade tortang talong, filled with the smoky flavors of grilled eggplant and the delightful combination of eggs, onion, and garlic. It's a comforting and satisfying dish that will surely bring joy to your taste buds!
