Ted Lasso's a personal favorite. It came at the right time - when the pandemic was at its worst.

The show is a feel good show, but it doesn't intentionally make itself one. It tries to make the characters suck at winning football games, Ted Lasso isn't born to coach a soccer team and that even the team owner hired him so she has someone to blame for the struggles of a losing team.

What it doesn't do to make itself a feel good show it does well in terms of its quirkiness and wit.

This episode will try to make you watch the show. Or play soccer. Or both.

This is a confession.

I hope it's a good one. Not gonna convince you to watch 'em, but allow me to talk to myself and tell me/you that Client Eastwood shouldn't just be known as a Wild West Action Actor, but as a successful director as well. So successful that a number of films he directed are box office worldwide.

Allow me as well to tell why Client Eastwood directed movies are soooooooo good.

It's an age-old dilemma - malas ka nga ba or swerte?

Often, we think we are unlucky just because things in front of you are not to your own liking. Malas, ika nga, coz they happen the way you don't want them to happen. But often as well, we only get to see the malas when it happens coz we were too busy being happy when we were not malas.

This episode tries to help you solve this age-old problem so that the next such things unfold, you either see it as a result of a mere choice or that it just has to happen out of the naturalness of life.

New Year, New Me! Charot.

It's the issue of the year for this new year, the Donnalyn Bartolome issue. Shots fired, I would say, but some of the shots are victims of a phenomena that we have yet to fully understand - QUITE-QUITTING. So rather than debate about her comment, why can't we just dig deep into this and try to see if it can help us lessen the toxicity of the for and against.

Music Stamps - my own term when I want to refer to songs that make me remember an event in the past.

Kind of like while you are washing dishes, mapapangiti ka na lang pag naalala mo something that happened before.

Nostalgia. Reminiscing. Just going back in time.

Call it anything. I simply consider them bookmarks of past events. You can have yours, too. Psychology says there's a good reason why you have to have them.

Have you ever had those moments of realization where you wanna do something yet find more reasons to not do it than the reasons for doing it?

From exercising, to learning how to play an instrument to just being good at something. The culprit is the person within.

This episode teaches you - or so it claims - to finding the reason within.

Imagine this, for once - you wanna become good at something. Which would you prefer to have? Passion or skills?

This episode gets to tackle that one important balance to have to be good at something.

And, just wanting it might not be enough.

We're all guilty of this at least once in our lives - that we are not healthy enough or that we don't exercise enough.

Hectic schedules, pressures of life, not enough time to do other stuff other than the more important priorities - just some of the showstoppers we have.

Would you rather do it now while you are still young than do it when you get old, when your katawang lupa will no longer allow you to do it?

That's where the 5K run comes in. It doesn't ruin your hectic schedule. It is SO doable that you can do it right after work.

It's the biggest showstopper of any Filipino's dream, decision and aspiration in life.

When people tend to factor in first the opinion of other people before doing something, that's where everything is ruined.

The Filipino culture is sooooo dependent on impressions and opinions of people. Not exactly a bad thing this social dilemma, but it is the only consideration you have before starting an endeavor, then you have a big problem ahead of you.

It's the most underestimated hobby or profession. People want quality, yet they pay cheap.

There is a reason why photography is expensive, and why you pay big to get the services of a professional photographer. And it is not just the fact that we have expensive equipment. A full frame camera can cost around 100K. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

This episode gets to show you why you pay quality to get quality.
