Convo with MargeauxMar 09, 2024
We're Dragon boat paddlers, of course we're...
I'm baaacckkkkk!!!! Gosh! So many stories to share and I promise I will try to be consistent this 2024!
So first off, let's start by keeping up with the trend. hahaha
Have you heard of this ongoing "meme", "We're______, of course we're ________"?
I'm sharing an episode with this in mind but with the topic that's close to my heart, dragon boat. Just in case, I can use this episode to encourage you to try the sport or stay in the sport, or help you reminisce the sport, or whatever! hahaha
Listen and share!

Last episode for 2022 before we move on to 2023 and here I am looking back and reminiscing what the FFF happened to my 2022?
Nagsimula na mabagal tapos biglang huuuuuuhhh patapos na agad?!
So I went through my phone, checked my photos literally to see what I was up to this whole year.
Here's an episode of my 8 memorable life moments (inspired by the podcast C'mon Guys, It's 2022 by Direk Tonet and JP)
Why not create your own list? :)

Midyear performance review Pt.2 The Best is Yet to Come
A continuation of my assessment on the things I've done, not done, succeeded and failed, and how I can make the most out of the remaining months of 2022.
So far so good, thank you 2022 :)
I watched again Bianca G's episode on her YT Paano Ba 'To series regarding making a Mid-Year Life Review with Arriane Serafico.

Midyear performance review Pt.1
Aaaannnnnnd just like that we're halfway done with 2022! Amazing!
How did you fare in the early 6 months? If you don't check, perhaps it's time to start journaling and taking down notes so you can assess yourself later on.
I watched again the Paano Ba 'To series with special guest Arrian Sefaico who talked about a midyear performance review.
For 2022, I decided to follow the format they discussed and shared.
Listen to my podcast episode as I discuss how I did mine for this year.
PS. it's my first time to really do the performance review as well.
Here's the link for more context and explanation.

Anak ng Dubai ft. CJ Benavidez Ebdani
Ever wondered what it feels like living and growing up in a country that is not where you "originally" came from?
How does an "anak ng OFW" feel like growing up?
I got to sit down with a legit Gen Z about her life growing up here in Dubai. Listen to the conversation with her (and her mom in the background).
Grabe! Kids these days!

Meet our "Ate ng bayan"
Celebrating 10 years of friendship with one of my "Ates" here in Dubai.
She guided, helped and gave me tons of advice when I was in my younger, carefree years. Honestly, I am lucky to have a friend like her.
So I guess, I wanted to share with you how our conversations sound like.
To my fellow MaldTitas, I want you to meet the OG. hahaha Enjoy listening!

The dragon is ME
Contemplating on what dragon boat taught me.. If what I learned in my training days were still applicable to my normal daily life.
I wonder if the sport made me a better person.
May character development ba si MaldTita or tuluyan na ba talagang naging Meldy for life na lang?
Listen to this episode. Agree or disagree: May maitutulong ba ang pagsali sa sports sa life?

When your faith is put to test...
What was I thinking? How did I survive?
Sharing the only bible verse I will quote which got me through in 2018:
Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

When Dragon boat was lifer..
Does that sound familiar? If yes, then you are a paddler.
Today, I reminisce my dragon boat days. How I got into it, why I was so in love with the sport, and why I decided to stop (for now?) This is almost 1 hour of me trying to compress more than 5 years of memories of being a paddler.
