Since gumawa nako ng episode kasama yung mom ko (stream Ep. 4 MAMA-tters of Fact!!), naisip ko, why not do an episode with someone from my generation na kakaenter lang ng motherhood? So ayun, in this episode, I invited one of my friends that I’ve known since childhood, Micah :) 

Nag chikahan lang kami about how her and her husband planned their journey into parenthood, how Micah has felt since becoming a mom and what changes she has noticed in herself since then. Shinare rin nya ano yung mga moments that make her go “omygod, ano ba to” HAHAHA and the moments that make her realize that as she watches her daughter grow, she’s growing as a person too :’) 

Medyo na-nostalgia trip din kami realizing that we’ve known each other since 5th grade, and now, we’re talking about her motherhood journey, her husband (hi Otep!), and her daughter! Ang bilis ng panahon eh no? HAHAHA 

I hope you guys enjoy this ep!!

In this episode, I’m joined by Maryteas’ editor and pod manager, Ivan. 

Actually, si Ivan, ka-schoolbus ko sya nung grade 1 (nakalimutan na nya to HAHAHAHA) pero, nung highschool talaga kami naging close (2nd year HS. Hi DDN friends!!) Pero basically, in the midst of our busy adulting lives, nag-reconnect kami because this podcast was formed.

Ivan and I discuss his journey diving into the audio world. The struggles he’s faced as someone trying to start a career in the cutthroat world of audio and media. At pano nga ba nya nalaman na audio ang passion nya?

 Ano nga ba feeling na may makatrabaho na celebrities at podcasters………….sino nga ba ang nakakainis katrabaho!?!? Sino naman yung sobrang saya kasama? Syempre, gusto ko gumawa ng issue eh. Eme!!! HAHAHAHAHA

We also touched on the reason why he decided to help start this podcast, what we both hope for the foreseeable future of the pod, at kung anong assignment nya para sakin para mag grow pa tong Maryteas. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GANON!!!

This is the first episode of a mini-series I want to start called “English Only Zone” where I invite my friends who are non-Tagalog speakers and we discuss the usual topics we touch on this podcast. Hehehe

In this first episode of EOZ, I invited my friend and workmate, Nalin, to talk about career shifts (something that I think passes all of our thoughts even just once in all of our adult lives. HAHAHAHA) As someone who worked in corporate for 4 years before making the jump to pursue her passion, I thought she’d make the perfect guest :)

Will there be a moment? An epiphany wherein we would feel, “OKAY. I HAVE TO DO IT NOW” ?

Is it instantaneous? During the moment when you feel like you want to change your career, do you feel immediately ready to make the jump?

Will we have regrets? Is it really worth it to make our passion…..….into a career?

Nalin shares it all with us, and I hope the experience she shares may help you make the decision whether you’ll make the shift or not :p 

Enjoy this first episode of EOZ!

Sobrang ni-YOLO na lang namin ni Keith tong episode na to kasi wala pako sa wisyo since kakabalik ko lang galing bakasyon. Mag-mema na topic na nga lang daw kami. HAHAHAHAHA 

This episode started out as a chikahan of things we do during our days off, how we unwind, and what gives us feelings of peace during times when we aren’t working. TAPOS BIGLANG NAPUNTA SA USAPANG BURNOUT, AWOL, GAANO KAHALAGA ANG MAGANDANG WORKING ENVIRONMENT, AT IMPORTANCE NG PAG AALAGA SA SARILI PARA MABIGAY MO NG BUO YUNG BEST MO SA WORK

So ang ending, may sense pa rin naman pinag usapan namin. HAHAHAHAHA so ayun. Enjoy!!!

Hi guys. Eto na. OUR VERY FIRST VIDEO EPISODE!!! WOW!! HAHAHAHA. Pasensya na kayo sa intro, wala pa kaming budget pang animate. Charot. HAHAHA

Anyway, so dahil medyo biglaan na nag record kami sa studio, wala akong nahatak na guest. So sino pa ba hahatakin ko?!?! Edi syempre si Keith ulit. HAHAHAHA

Bilang mga malapit na mag trenta, Keith and I reflect on how much we’ve learned during the most “just-figuring-it-out” phase of our lives. Tapos, eto na nga, ano nga ba pakiramdam na…na eto na, medyo malapit na matapos ang twenties?

Ano nga ba feeling na IKAW na talaga ang adult sa buhay mo?

Bakit parang minsan feel natin ang bagal ng oras, but at the same time, ang bilis?!?!

Mga batchmates namin dyan, OKAY PA BA TAYO?!?! HAHAHAHA 

Keith and I also talk about how we expected our twenties to go vs. how it’s currently going, greatest lessons we’ve learned, and bitter pills we’ve swallowed. 

And syempre, we share what we look forward to in the next decade, our thirties!! 

Ang haba ng episode na to kasi talagang… oh my gosh. Nagpaka-bare at nagpaka-vulnerable talaga kami….and we hope this episode brings you comfort and helps you navigate through your turbulent twenties too :)

Mothers know best…..in chikahan! Charot!

In this episode, literal na nagchikahan lang kami ni Mama. HAHAHAHA 

Pero syempre, we also touched deeper things like the joys and struggles of motherhood, navigating through the grief of losing a child, and how to cope when your kids are all growing up so fast and have started to move out. 

She also shares advice for newer moms, and shares to the pod what she would say to her younger self 🥹

I hope you enjoy this very insightful yet very exposing episode kasi parang kinwento na din ni mama lahat ng naexperience nya habang pinapalaki ako at mga kalokohan ko nung bata eh?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAA

Sa episode na to, ang mga na-touch naming points ay:

1. ​ ano nga ba feeling ng malapit na ikasal?
2. ​ minsan nasa kabilang dulo lang pala ng CALABARZON region ang taong para sayo
3. ​ meron ba talagang defining moment para malaman if someone is "the one” ??
4. ​ ano ba ang dapat gawin kung mawala ang suit or barong sa wedding day?!
5. ​ at lastly, kung may Php 8.8 million ka dyan casually lying around, san ka nga ba dapat bumili ng luxury watch? HAHAHAHA

Dati sa traffic lang sa Vito Cruz kami nakikipag sapalaran, ngayon sa mundo na!

In this episode, Keith and I tackle the realities of living as a young OFW. We talk about the good, the bad, and the nakakaiyak parts of living alone abroad. Ano nga bang nafeel naming improvements sa everyday life namin? Ano ba ang mga pressure na nararamdaman namin? At, ano nga ba pakiramdam na malamon ng sistema dahil sa sobrang homesick? HAHAHAHAHA

I hope you enjoy the very first episode of Ang Buhay ng Isang Maryteas as much as I enjoyed recording it with one of my closest friends in life. :)
