40 Life Lessons from my 40-Year Journey

A month ago, I celebrated my birthday. Turning 40 feels like stepping into a new chapter filled with wisdom, clarity, and a deeper understanding of life. Over the years, I've learned countless lessons--some through joyous moments, others through challenges and failures. As I celebrate this milestone, I wanted to share 40 of the most valuable life lessons I've gathered along my journey. Whether you're younger or older, I hope these insights resonate with you and offer a bit of inspiration on your own path.

Wrestling: Just One of the Weird Things I'm Into

One of the quirkiest things about me is my love for WWE wrestling. I've been watching WWE since I was 5 years old. Yes, that's 35 years of body slams, suplexes, and wild storylines that's much more dramatic than my actual life. At this point, it's not really an obsession (I promise!), but it's just one of those things that stuck with me. Some people collect stamps, others are plantitas--I watch people in spandex throw each other around for fun.

ChiMples' DIY Travel Guide

Traveling as a couple is one of our favorite things to do. It is more than just exploring new places together--it's about creating shared memories, navigating adventures side by side, and growing closer with every experience. From visiting famous locations to sharing meals in unfamiliar cities, our travels allow us to bond over the excitement, challenges, and joy of exploring the world hand-in-hand. Every journey becomes a story, every destination a chapter in our shared adventure.

When it comes to traveling, we love doing DIY or do-it-yourself trips. We want to experience the world on our own terms. We thrive on planning our travels from scratch, making each trip uniquely ours.

My Husband's Mended Heart

Last 2021, Chino and I experienced one of the most difficult journey we had to go through as a couple. It was the year that he got his mended heart.

Rhinestone Art or Diamond Painting

When it comes to art, I've always felt that I lacked the skills to create anything worthwhile. But I love colors. I tried my hands on doing cross stitch and paper clay art when I was younger. So, when I first heard about diamond painting or rhinestone art, I was excited to give it a try.

Mental Health Awareness

A lot of people are becoming more aware of mental health and its importance. I have curated information on psychological and psychiatric services available in the Philippines. However, I do not have information on the quality or extent of the services provided. This list is not an endorsement.
