The One Where I Say “Like” A Lot Podcast
Like... recorded this on a whim and without notes or a script. Hence, the overuse and OA use of "like" throughout. I apologize. Just a bit of background which might not really interest you at all. I recorded this because there was a blackout and for some reason my I lost all my good internet connection, as well. So I decided to record this thing so I can also process my thoughts and feelings. I don't know what caused the spraying sound thing. Sarreh. Today's topics are all over the place. I talk about teleseryes on ABS-CBN, my desire to be a radio DJ, the rotating brownouts, the Asus ZenFone Zoom and the Asus ZenFone Max, and #SMARTSinulog. I said in the podcast that I will do it "minimum" once a day. I meant "maximum" once a day. LOLZ! I did record two episodes right after another but I will only upload one episode at a time. And it will probably be uploaded past midnight coz wala lang. Thank you for listening! ;) Info and links: SnapChat Username: @riajosedavao Berocca FB Page: LINK Asus ZenFone Zoom Sinulog Launch Pre-Event Post: LINK Asus ZenFone Zoom Launch Post: LINK Asus Philippines Site:…
An Invitation to #TeamSingle
Ria Jose in La Union "You seem embarrassed by loneliness, by being alone. It's only a place to start." -Irene, Sabrina (1995) Two of the things that really made my 2015 remarkable were the SmartBro Trips I joined, one to La Union and another to Ilocos. I took the La Union Trip alone which was quite exciting. It was not my first trip alone but it was exciting to be going somewhere new with a group of strangers. I had an awesome experience with newfound friends. One thing though, I had crappy photos of myself. See proof above. I was excited about the next tour, dubbed as Photoholic Ilocos. After all, Ilocos had a lot of places perfect for taking photos. Plus, I was traveling with friends. Days before I was to leave for the Ilocos tour I was browsing through my social media feeds and saw some of my friends with beautiful shots in Ilocos. But most, if not all, of their shots were couple shots. This gave me an idea for our Photoholic Ilocos Tour, have couple shots alone. Ria Jose invites to you a journey with #TeamSingle My first post is obviously inspired by Murad Osmann's series…

Being Better
Many days, weeks, and months ago, I suffered a betrayal that I thought I could never move past beyond. It cost me a lot of things... confidence in myself, trust in others, and "friends." Every time I'd encounter a milestone or a reminder of that painful moment, I'd lose all my confidence once again, and paranoia and self-pity would set in. I have tried so hard to avoid those moments and to keep to myself, to hide my pain and sorrow only to be witnessed by me alone. Today is one of those days. I fear that I will break down and wallow in self-pity. Once again, I want to just keep to myself and have my own pity party but I had made a promise. I will be there, I will face the reality of what had happened, of how my best laid plans had failed despite my earnest and sincere efforts. I don't know why I made the promise to be there but I did and I will fulfill it, not just for the people who stayed true and loyal to me but for myself. I have to do it for me. If I kept to myself and…
