In this pandemic era, what can you say about people spending most of their time on social media? Have you ever come across a social media feed that felt "fake" or "pretentious"? As a content creator, why is there a need for authenticity with regards to what you post online? For the 20th episode of the podcast, I am joined by Andie Javelosa, a Digital Content Curator for lifestyle brands and public personalities, as we touch on the topic of managing one's social media footprint in the time of COVID-19, and why mindfulness and even fact checking play an important role in being a responsible "social media user". This is a pretty lengthy episode, but it's definitely worth the listen because of all the wonderful takeaways!
This episode has been lOoOoOng overdue, but I'm super thankful that I finally had the time to record and edit everything. To my friends who gave their inputs regarding the topic, thank you so so much! Summarizing everything was such a challenge for me, but it was so worth it at the same time, knowing that I've posted yet another quality episode again. Hopefully soon, I can really guest people on the show na! Anyway, online classes? Distance learning? Do you approve of it? Give this episode a listen and tell me what you think about this new educational set-up!
In a time filled with so much negativity and uncertainty, being optimistic can be quite difficult. Every single day, we are met with the ever increasing cases of COVID-19 in the country, and all these other issues that have made us lose hope. But then, we should realize that we still have our simple joys, the small blessings we receive every single day. It might not be much, but it can make us smile, laugh and take our mind off of things even just for a short while. These simple joys keep our sanity in this vast changing world, and in this episode, I share about mine. What about you? What are your simple joys?
Guess who's baaaaaack! I know it's been a while, but I hope you guys can still spare me some of your time as I talk about an interesting topic that, somewhat, hits home. Hay nako, make sure you and your jowabells listen to this!
In this time of a pandemic, where everyone's at home for work and you can't really be out and about to de-stress by socializing with others, the big question has always been this... how do we balance these two things that make up majority of our life?

"Unrequited" meaning not returned, not received... yup, it's that painful, one-sided kind of love. Have you ever experienced this? Well, my listener, "Marian" has and she's asking for some help in dealing with it. Pagod na kasi siyang masaktan. Char! So here we go, it's A to the rescue!
College was such a fun time in my life. I went out of my comfort zone, met new people and gained some experiences that have taught me a lot about life, friendships and even love.

He chats with you till the wee hours of the morning, says all these cheesy stuff that put such a goofy smile on your face, carries your stuff for you, and even buys you your favorite coffee drink... but he STILL doesn't tell you if he likes you! Yikes! On today's episode of Hey, It's A, we talk about guys who are so "malabo" and how we can deal with them.
P.S. If the audio sounds a bit sharp, it's because of the noise reduction I had to play around with kasi the birds were chirping non-stop! So that my "s" sound doesn't hurt your ears, listening to the podcast with its volume on 50-75% percent would be much better.
