"And this is something I think about a lot in life. I can only control what I can actually control. It's like an obvious thing, but I never really get annoyed or frustrated with things that are outside of my control." - Ben.

As your friendships blossom, there are moments where you share a peal of laughter and then some serious "getting-to-know" questions to dig deeper into your friend's thoughts and angles that you may not have yet seen. Ben's a go-getter with such an effervescent personality. Join the eavesdropping on our conversation about a delirious injury that teaches about life and then some.

"There's a confidence in having gone through something that is difficult and then come out the other side still intact." - Min.

I describe Min as a contradiction of sorts in a good way. She offers complexity to her career and life which keeps her a fascinating person to get to know as my new friend. She was a world-ranked varsity debater and a public figure, with one surprising expertise that breaks her preen stereotype. Join the eavesdropping to enjoy another lesson about words connected to humanity.

"... we don't so much inherit the world from our ancestors so much as we borrow it from our descendants." - Ray.

Circumstances change a person. Ray's relentless spirit is still mighty intact, yet becoming a father enhanced his perspectives differently - from being a restless robot to a sleepless robot with a knack for raising his biological clone-daughter. Listen to our conversation talking about life infused in science and heart, plus how we can tackle climate change.

"I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up." - Brian.

As humans, we roll with the punches and keep looking for somewhere to roll. Brian has a mind like a sponge, box like there's no tomorrow, and once made beauty products in his own bedroom to sell. He's a lawyer, by the way. In this episode, we'll hear a Spanish intrusion, plus peals of laughter. Join and eavesdrop with us.

"You can't really understand what to expect when you've never experienced something like that before." - Daphne.

Some people can wear many hats and make the most out of them at each opportunity. That's Daphne. In this episode, she is finally ready to recount and share her near-death experience with her loved ones that occurred a few months ago. This conversation made me cry on record (not a hot mess moment, though!), which I must allow myself to do. Join the eavesdropping.

"Since I put down my list, I've kind of really been liking what life's list is looking like, just not knowing." - Tania.

Tania is a modern-day explorer. She toils and braves the demanding world of career soul-searching and ultimately takes the plunge to change from two highly different careers. Her strength to acknowledge sensitivities for everyone around her, balancing it with choosing one's self to value, is an asset I truly admire in this fiery woman. Eavesdrop on our earnest conversation as we explore the synonyms we describe and their connection to each guest, this time with Tania.

"So if I can get over that fear, I can do anything." - Patton.

Patton is the Orlando Bloom of the Philippines, as his Facebook fans acclaimed when Lord of the Rings came out. The best part is that he embraced it all while pursuing different angles in the world of arts and creatives. He's a relentless tech entrepreneur, not trying to fit in, but carving out his definitive place in his world through (geeky) movie lines that envelop his world. Join us and eavesdrop on us catching up with laughter, and more serious topics while we both recall our almost attempt to date in our 20s, and our lives ever since.

I also revealed a very private story about myself. I am ready to share it.

I've been walking the Enid Trail system outdoors since June of 2015. In 7 years I've put in at least 15,000 miles. That early morning routine has opened doors for better health, a sunrise photo collection, countless podcast episodes and many, many idea inspirations. Listen up as I tell the tale of a 15,00 mile journey that continues today!

"I was at such a low point in my life that I finally came face to face with my purpose. I was so lost, and I found my way, and I found my own will, not according to anyone else but me." - Lily.

This is the first voice conversation that Lily and I have ever had since our friendship drifted apart a few years. A company that was lost and found in the tides.

Lily is a published writer mainly within the fantasy fiction genre, primarily Filipino culture-focused. At the same time, she teaches her son her mother tongue that she is harnessing to embrace back while living in a multicultural environment in Zurich, Switzerland. She is a former radio DJ, indie & theatre actor, model, spokesperson, and voice-over talent, among other things. Join us as we dive deep into her psyche and realisations moving forward with the most challenging decisions she has to make for herself.

PRODUCER'S NOTE: This episode has a few voice audio glitches halfway - my profound apologies. It's not a hindrance to listening to a hearty conversation, so please give it a chance. Cheers.

"So that's what I'm pushing for, the fact that you can be outspoken about your beliefs and choose to be a learner again, starting from the beginning, every time you want to achieve something." - Micah.

Micah is a passionate full-stack engineer, die-hard foodie and diversity advocate. She is only learning what the word "rest" is, plus she's a force to be reckoned with in the tech industry. Listen in our conversation about the contrast in how I describe her versus her take, our similarities, views about women in tech and beyond, mentorship and of course, food!

"I wasn't aware of the idea of death, how it's going to affect me. That's why when our mom died in 2007, it never really hit me until three years later." - JC.

JC is a film student in the Philippines, finishing his thesis with many troubles and insights. He's an old soul with a flair for helpful information that continuously transforms his perspectives in life. Oh, he's also my brother and ward.

I always think of Keiran as my personal James Bond, only wiser.

Improv has made a lot of impact in my life in the past year and I thought I'd share about it tonight. 2020 is the year I decided I'd do improv again and it's one of the best decisions I made that year. Anyhoo, below are the questions I answered today:

• Whom do you secretly envy?  Why?
• In twenty years, what do you want to remember?
• What are you most excited about in your life right now – today?
• What experience from this past year do you appreciate the most?
• What is the most enjoyable thing your family has done together in the last three years?
