4 Practical Self-Care Activities Your Future Self Will Thank You For

When you hear the word ‘self-care,’ do you automatically think of going on a shopping spree, slathering skincare products on, lighting scented candles, or going on a spontaneous getaway? For busy millennials striving to keep their expenses within their budget, these forms of self-care might seem a little too self-indulgent and costly.

But real self-care goes beyond pampering your physical self. Have you ever noticed how you felt good after changing your sheets? Or how you felt like you can conquer anything the moment you finish organizing your desk? These are also forms of self-care.

Practical self-care is essentially doing tasks to make life less stressful in the future. While they don’t sound as fancy as other self-care activities you might have heard of, practical self-care activities will help give you a sense of control over your life and save your future self from being frazzled.

Here are simple and practical self-care practices you may not have thought of that can make a big impact on your everyday routine:

Organizing your email and files

Studies show that cluttered spaces are associated with higher levels of cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone. As our space now extends to the digital realm, this also holds true for our devices and digital storage.

Set a time to organize your folders, delete duplicate files, and set a labeling system. This will not only speed up your device and free up storage but will also improve concentration and boost productivity. Your future self will thank you that they will not have to go through heaps of files that look alike!

Doing a closet inventory

Have you ever found yourself saying “I have nothing to wear” while staring at a full closet? Doing a closet inventory might be the perfect self-care routine for you.

Taking some time to organize your closet and plan your outfits ahead will save you the stress and frustration of having to rummage through piles of clothes and shoes. Going through all your clothes and assessing which ones to keep will also help you save space and money. When you know which ones still fit, you’re less likely to impulsively buy another one.

Meal planning and prepping

For those who have a lot on their plate, even just thinking about what to eat is an overwhelming chore. Meal planning and meal prepping both remove the stress of having to come up with dishes every day.

Setting aside time to plan your meal ahead allows you to make healthier food choices and stay within budget. Preparing a batch of meals ahead of schedule will also save you the trouble of having to make last-minute food decisions and cleaning up plates and pans every mealtime.

Investing in high-quality kitchen equipment

You cook and eat best when you feel good in the kitchen. That does not only stop at whipping up delicious meals, but also ensuring that your kitchen equipment is working well.

Set a time for preventive maintenance of your kitchen equipment, from your knives and pans to your refrigerator and stove. This will help you identify which minor issues can still be fixed so you don’t have to worry about major repairs later. More importantly, doing an integrity check to make sure your tools and appliances are in good shape will help prevent injuries.

If you are unsure about doing checks yourself, you can ask for professional help. To ensure the safety of your LPG stove, trusted LPG brand Solane conducts the 7-point Safety Check, an exclusive service provided to all Solane LPG home delivery customers nationwide. Friendly Solane Hatid-Bahay riders will make sure LPG is correctly installed and make sure that your burner produces a blue flame to maintain the quality of your gas appliance.

Like these practical safe-care activities, having peace of mind comes from the confidence that your environment will not cause you additional stress. Investing in kitchen equipment guaranteed to last as intended means less stressful situations for your future self.

When you invest in a long-lasting kitchen fuel like Solane LPG, your future self will thank you for not having to go on an unexpected search for refill. More importantly, you can be at ease knowing that a genuine and trusted LPG brand will not cause you harm.

Verified Solane LPG products are guaranteed to have gone through proper safety checks to ensure the safety of your household. Solane LPG also has a safety feature called ‘Auto Shutoff’ valve, ensuring that your kitchen is still safe from leaks even during times when you forget to close the valve.

To ensure that you only get Verified Solane LPG, customers may call the Hatid Bahay Hotline (+632 8887-5555), send a message to 0918-887-5555 (Smart) / 0917 8977555 (Globe).

PUP FilAC braces for more events as part of FDCP’s Academic Film Society

The Film Aficionados Circle (FilAC), the official student film organization of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines College of Communication, is gearing up for more film-related activities after recently concluding “Sineminuto: Buhayin at Lakbayin, Pelikulang Atin!” with the theme “Lakbay.”

“As the only film organization in PUP, we really want to give a platform to aspiring filmmakers on campus. Sineminuto is like a bridge for the mentees of the Film Aficionados Circle into the basics of film production,” Adelbert Abrigonda, FilAC President, shared.

Carousel Productions

“Bakit Maingay ang EDSA?” which was directed by Rafael Nuyad of Carousel Productions bagged the Sineminuto Best Film award. The short film about two homeless siblings wandering around the highway also won Best Male Performance for Ralph Capinig, who played Anthony, Best Screenplay, Best Sound Design, and Best Concept. It placed second in terms of direction, cinematography, and editing.

Nilay Productions with Adelbert Abrigonda and Rod Marmol

“The Portrait of a Man” from Nilay Productions got Best Direction for Ronalyn Antonio, Best Production Design, and Best Editing. It ranked second overall in film, screenplay, and sound design categories.

Meanwhile, “meet me halfway” from After Hours Production finished third and received Best Female Performance for Frances Danielle Tan as Emma and Best Cinematography, as well as second in production design.

“En Route” from Loop Productions brought home the second best concept among those which were realized into films for Sineminuto. The only horror film entry in the competition tells the story of a student who gets trapped in an infinite loop on a hallway in campus, preventing her from attending her class.

“Balikat” by ACDK Pictures, “Kaya Kaya” by Aninuno Productions, “Pihit” by 2RDS Productions, “Urong Sulong” by Yapak Productions, and “Yapak” by Amping Productions completed the Sineminuto entries.

Director and screenwriter Rod Marmol, filmmaker/photographer Arjanmar Rebeta, producer and writer Seymour Sanchez, PUP scriptwriting and TV production professor George Gamayo, and FilAC alumnus Edrian Pabona made up the jury for Sineminuto, FilAC’s flagship event for student filmmakers.

FilAC also recently became a member of the Academic Film Society of the Film Development Council of the Philippines. The organization plans to hold more events to promote and teach the art of filmmaking to students who share their passion for cinema.

Through the AFS, the FDCP provides support and makes resources more accessible in the academic setting. As part of its initiative, the FDCP co-presented Sineminuto with FilAC together with IDP Philippines, Motivo PH, Urban Chick, M’ Finesse PH, and Cinemata, Sineminuto’s official media partner.

Abrigonda was elated that Sineminuto mentees were able to showcase their craft through their films and apply “what they have learned from the PelikuLearn sessions” that FilAC spearheaded this year with National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Ricky Lee and director Jules Katanyag among their mentors. “I’m also happy to see the enthusiasm of the student filmmakers and their desire to develop their passions into something meaningful through their work. This is something to be proud of and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the organization will grow more in the future. Especially now since there are many students in the campus who are very eager to explore the world of filmmaking,” he concluded.

What lies on the horizon for Arte Bauan and Arte Likha in ARTablado show

If you peer into the horizon, what do you see? You see light blossoming from an imaginary line. You see all the tomorrows just waiting to be born. You see possibilities. You see hope.

For the members of the two art groups — Arte Bauan and Arte Likha — the horizon symbolizes the boundless human spirit and that unyielding desire for exploration, as well as the breathtaking beauty and incredible diversity of the world around us.

In terms of art, what can be seen on the horizon are the youth, according to artist and Arte Bauan Founding President, YelCast.

There is a need for more experienced art group members to be mentors to those who are next in line. “Igalang at irespeto ang mga artist na nauna.Suportahan ang mga kasabayang nagpipinta.Tulungan at gabayan ang nagsisimula pa lang magpahid ng pintura.Patuloy na ibahagi ang passion at i-serve ito sa mga tao at sa bayan para mas maging meaningful ang buhay nating bilang artist.”

Both young and experienced artists define what is to see beyond the vistas of art in “Horizon,” on view until July 31 at the Robinsons Land ARTablado art space, on the third level of Robinsons Galleria. “Horizon” is the first time that both Batangas-based groups are mounting a joint exhibition in Metro Manila. The experienced hands in Arte Bauan have taken the young up-and-comers in Arte Likha under their wing, so to speak. The participating artists include: Yelcast, Cheyzer Manalo, Sarah Jane Tumambing, Doy Kastilyo Jerwind Magnaye, Ada Panopio, Marigonz, Ruby Bagsit, Marck Ogbac, Dhennis Sigua, MJ Cuasay, Joy Bagay, Kier Insigne, Temyong and Windsor Magnaye.

“We’ve created Arte Likha kasi bawat isa sa amin ay ramdam na maraming bata na gustong maging artist pero kailangan pang i-guide in terms of skills,puso at professionalism. So, parang training ground ito sa mga gustong maging professional artists. Gusto din naming ma-sustain ang mga art projects at advocacy namin. Saka naniniwala talaga kami na ang nasa kabataang artists ang pag-asa ng sining ng bayan.”

Art Bauan — forged by friendship and passion for art, founded by members who share an affinity for art talks and food tripping — was established in 2018 by Yelcast One of the most rewarding and meaningful projects of Arte Bauan is the founding of its young art group, Arte Likha, in 2020. Arte Bauan initiated this during the pandemic, gathering young artists in Bauan and nearby municipalities who wholeheartedly share the same passion ideas and artistic value as the members of Arte Bauan. Through its Arte Bauan Calendar Project (“Sa Pagsikat ng Bagong Umaga”), Arte Bauan has provided Arte Likha members with free art materials and exposed them to art exhibits, campaigns and conventions.

Arte Bauan and Arte Likha chose ARTablado as the venue for their exhibition because they believe in ARTablado’s core principles and advocacy: to support Filipino artists from all walks of life. “Magandang ang pangarap ng ARTablado para sa art scene ng Pilipinas. Kaya para sa amin, mahalaga na i-connect namin ang aming grupo sa ARTablado na may puro at magandang adhikain para sa sining ng Pilipinas. Bakit kami bumalik sa ARTablado para mag-show? Actually, hindi kami bumalik kasi palagi kaming nasa ARTablado. Naghanda lamang kami para maisabay namin sa exhibit ang mga inaakay namin sa mundo ng sining.”

The people behind Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) believe in the ingenuity and artistry of Filipinos. RLC has allocated spaces in Robinsons Galleria (Ortigas) and Robinsons Antipolo to hold exhibitions for art practitioners who deserve to showcase their hard work, grit and perseverance. ARTablado’s impact has been instantaneous for members of the art community who have been pining for a platform where every artist — young or old, established or up-and-coming. A much welcome development in the local art scene.

For the “Horizon” show, each of the artworks unveils a “narrative that encapsulates the essence of man’s quest for adventure.” Art, after all, is in itself a sort of quest. And artistic quests and advocacies often benefit from people and organizations with like minds and same intentions.

“Our goal is to showcase our art and our talent to a wider audience. So, we tried to find networks and avenues to connect to the world. (We got the help we need from) Kunst Filipino (2021 Banaag Presidential Awardee) and, very recently, Rotary Club of Hearts (Helping Empowerment through Arts and Sports). These are two organizations that are also into promoting art in the global arena. And with the help of these two groups, we were able to send Arte Bauan artists to Europe to showcase their skills.”

What lies on the horizon for members of Arte Bauan and Arte Likha? More paintings, much discussions about art, and the start of a journey from ARTablado and onto the world stage.
