Life in Progress

Loneliness is an emotion that we feel just like happiness but it is seen so negatively and unfortunately, nobody taught us to face it with emotional intelligence. We were always told to distract ourselves whenever we feel lonely, growing up we struggled to face failures, rejections and being alone because from the beginning we were not trained on how to handle these negative things that come with...

I am not saying leave your home country and move somewhere as I did, we all know this is not an option for everyone but living in our comfort zone is something we all can work on. This is something I always push everyone to not embrace, life is a beautiful thing to explore, many times we will fail in achieving our dreams but we learn from every challenge we face to progress better. Failures are pa...

Is Yolo-ing bad? No, I’ve worked hard for 15 years straight to be where I am now, I’ve been about my career success but this time I want to take my time to build the next chapter of my life mindfully. I’ve always lived a very fast-paced life trying to do it all together either to survive or overachieve as much as possible. I am a risk-taker and dreamer and when these are combined that’s the perfec...

We live in a society where we are always forced to be successful but what is the true meaning of being successful in life? I always talk about it success comes in different meanings for everyone. For some, it is about having a family, for others, it is about having a successful career, and for me, it is about freedom and being able to live my life the way I’ve always wanted to. There is no right o...

My life lately has been both rainbows and storms, it wasn’t easy to move to Madrid and leave my businesses behind but I’ve always believed in technology; with the help of platforms like Lazada, it empowered me to serve my passion, improve the lives of my employees, and add to the lives of my consumers—all while running my businesses remotely. As to what’s next for me as a fresh graduate? Of course...

I am graduating from top business school in Europe, it was a very hard journey and yet so fulfilling. Many people asked me what is next for me? My Answer: Nothing! I am done chasing success, now it is time for me to live a peaceful life that I've always deserved for working hard. I've reached the point in life where I am extremely happy, grateful and contented.

We don’t owe anyone an explanation for our life choices - don’t let other people’s voices get inside your head. It’s your life and nobody knows you better than you, only you’re capable of doing things for yourself. When you have self-awareness, it becomes your power to lead you to a better and happier life. Go create your own path, you can and you will. Angely's Instagram Life in Progress Instagra...

Everything changes along the way and the best way to deal with life is to keep flowing and to comfort yourself more when you make mistakes. You’re your best friend!

Nobody said life is easy but there are greater things waiting for us when we don't give up and keep going no matter what challenges we face. I want to share this strength of mine with all of you, one thing made me successful is that I never gave up on anything, I am not used to living an easy life, I always crave challenges to keep going and stay motivated. Whenever life feels stagnant, i find new...

Failures will be always part of success even when society make us feel that making mistakes is not part of the formula. At the end of the day, as I always say, acceptance is key when life doesn’t go as planned. We have the power to bounce back no matter how bad life gets, we are capable of healing ourselves, dream all over again, and create better version of ourselves. We accept and heal different...

There are days you will feel like a Rockstar and nothing can beat you down but some day it's normal that you just want to hide from the world. The challenge is not to stop and escape having insecurities but how to take care of ourselves and learn from our feelings every time we feel down. There are many external voices that would tell us we are not enough, only we can save ourselves, nobody is goi...

I never wanted to take a master’s, but going to IE changed my life, and now I understand that maybe I was meant to go to Madrid to do a meaningful task. I want to inspire you by making you believe that dreams give us strength, hope, and faith in our lives and where want to be, I strongly believe that when we are guided by our dreams we have a certain direction in life, produce better work, feel mo...

We often feel stuck when we are not confident about our own journey, but trusting the process and being aware of our emotions helps us be mindful of how and where we want to be. I was lost for almost two years after the pandemic happened, but slowly I got myself back on track and decided to move to Madrid and see what else I am capable of doing in life. Everyone thought I was leaving Manila to get...

I am doing a Ted Talk in Madrid. Despite living in Madrid for almost 10 months now I still ask myself why this happened all of a sudden? Now, I understand that the exact reason why I was thrown out here was that I was meant to do this purposeful task to inspire more people with my story. There is so much power in believing in yourself and your dreams, these might change along the way as circu...

Recently I went back to the Philippines and everyone was asking me “ You are still not married?. And I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that in this part of the world people still think women are incomplete without a husband and children at the age of 31. Nobody asked me about my school and how life has been without understanding that not everyone wants to live the same life. Meanwhile,...

What makes us overthink? I believe it is fear that’s the root of everything. We are scared to fail in life, which leads to a never-ending thinking tunnel that makes us hold ourselves back to live our best lives. It’s normal to be scared in a world where nothing is predictable but if we change the way we look at things, zoom in and out a little, give up perfection and learn to be kinder to ourselve...

Social media is a big part of our lives, our phones are like our best friends, but is there a limit up to what extent we should use them? Yes, technology will be always bad but it will always up to us on how we let things around us affect our health overall, as human beings we always have this habit of finding loopholes to blame things and people but I think we have control over what we want to do...

Resilience is different for everyone, going through hard times is not easy especially if we are not emotionally and mentally strong to accept unexpected events in life. Building resilience is the power to learn how to make ourselves feel better when life seems to fall apart, no matter how good, wealthy, educated, and successful we are in life, we don’t have the power to avoid facing unfortunate ev...

We are the leaders of our own life. Yes, we have many people leading us around us, from our homes, offices, and even in our friendships but one thing we should always be leaders of are our own life. We can be guided by other people but nobody should tell us what we are capable of doing and not. When we learn to take control of our lives, we become unstoppable and nobody can use our weaknesses agai...

Leaving our comfort zones to try out something new? It might be scary and confusing, but how will we grow if we won’t push our limits? Do you really want to live a life in one place without seeing what else you are capable of doing? It’s a reality that some people have more options than others, and in my case, I’ve been working continuously to never run out of options in life. My strength has been...

In a world where everything is just a click away on your phone, how can we learn to manage our finances and discipline ourselves to invest? It all boils down to educating yourself and knowing that you have a future to build and not a community to impress. Building your own path is hard but with time, effort, and learning, it is possible to achieve financial independence which is the ultimate key t...

Overthinking, fears, and traumas haunt us down in our adulthood life. We want to embrace it, but it’s hard if we were conditioned a certain way since childhood. There will be times in our lives when we get triggered over small things and no matter what we do we can’t seem to overcome it. The beauty of life is that we are allowed to acknowledge our mistakes, be kind to ourselves and keep on giving...

Most of the time, people feel scared to be alone, but it is a fact that we should realize that the only person who will be with us until the end of time is ourselves. If we fail to understand ourselves better, we will miss out on many things in life. We live in this world where being happy alone is considered strange as everyone pushes us to be with others all the time. But don’t we function bette...

The modern workplace has taken away many things in life but there is a single way to handle it. I, myself, am a victim of this because being an entrepreneur requires so much of me and sometimes, I am not even sure if I am surviving. But the thing is, life is too short to just survive. We should always thrive to live our best lives. Burnout is real for many people but if we find our true meaning an...

Women are usually asked the question “Why are you still single?”, “When are you getting married?” and so on. There are so many expectations from the society and even from our families when it comes to our personal life. I am still single, intentionally, just because I am still not ready. And I do also believe that everyone has their own timeline in life and no external factors should affect your d...
