My Obsession with RuPauls Drag Race and its Impact on my Mental Health
This is a story of my obsession with RuPaul Drag Race and its therapeutic effects on my mental health. Confession. I have watched every season of Ru Paul Drag Race for more than 3 times each season. Probably more than thrice, I lost count! Hahaha! Good day. I’m Kaycee and I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar-2. This means I have seasonal moods that switches randomly or sometimes triggered by certain events. The mood swings can span from years, months, or hours (heaven forbid rapid cycling). You can learn more about my life as bipolar here (Read More: Being Bipolar) Last year I spiraled into a state of depression for months. It was triggered by…
Can Self-Love Be Taught? Or Is It Too Late?
I’ve had my fair share of failed relationships and heartaches. Most of the time it always ends the same. Everything runs smoothly and then it ends up me getting broken over, and over. Because I keep on going to a path of self-destruction, “seek and destroy”. I’m 30 years old. Most of my friends and family are in stable marriages with their happily ever afters. Is this a rant? Probably not. More like an existential internal crisis. They say to love someone else, you need to learn to love yourself. Is the reason of my consistent failure giving too much, or lack of it? Most of the time I devote so much of my energy…

Personal Musings: Purpose Driven Life
First and foremost, let me ask you this. Why do you do what you do? Before I start blogging my backlogs I decided to warm up by writing another personal musing. Let’s do a round-up of what I’m currently doing (you can try and make yours too): Being a mom Being a girlfriend Blogging Wrestling Weightlifting Each has its own sub-category that branches out into further detail. Most of the time I stay at home with a regular routine of waking up, bring my son to school, work, gym, fetch him, go home. When there are certain events that I choose to go to, I go out to Manila. I do wrestling on some…
Being Bipolar: Throwback to a Depressive Episode
Author’s Note: This short sentimental post below was written November 3, 2016 during a depressive episode. I am diagnosed with Bipolar-2 Disorder (See: Being Bipolar). I’m posting this in the hopes of to inspire other people striving with mental illnesses to never give up. While blogging on February 17, 2017 I’m manic. Everyone puts their best face forward especially on profile photos. Tonight Im switching things up a bit. My previous photo was me, with makeup and a fake smile. This is another side of me. I am diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder and an advocate of mental illness awareness. Tonight. I am not okay. To be honest Ive been feeling “not okay”…
Beauty and Beyond: Getting Out of an Abusive Relationship
Being beautiful is not just having good skin, wearing the most expensive makeup, or having a sexy body. Beauty is also how we feel about ourselves. Are we confident? Are we loved? Are we happy? I thought the physical aspects were enough. When you’re suffering an internal turmoil, people can see through you; your soul, your vibe, your suffering. A woman is not at her best beautiful when she is troubled. This is my story on how I escaped an abusive relationship, the warning (and obvious signs) that you or someone you know needs help. Whew. I’m not sure if most of you have noticed me posting pictures, with another guy, finally happy.…
How’s Your Heart Lately?
Enough with the mumbo jumbo of press releases and product reviews. As much as I enjoy attending and having these blog perks I kinda miss my freedom of expression. I hope you don’t mind if I shit my thoughts for a while. The past few days if you have been following my twitter or instagram I’ve been posting hints of loneliness in my posts. Bad for my kikay-giddy image? I guess. I’m not sure. Maybe brands would appreciate the fact that I’m a real person, flawed and unperfect. We can’t be cheery all the time can we? Jaded. I got this coined term from Liz (projectvanity. com) where some “famed” bloggers would be…
Pamper Experience with Zen Institute and Gorgeous Cosmetics and a Personal Side Note
How is everyone doing? I’m sincere when I’m asking that actually. This will be the last of my busy July 22 Events series here on KikaySiKat. Lately, I’ve been noticing that my recent posts are a bit soul-less. More like “Hey I’m posting because I’m required to post this because I owe this brand something and I need to write it NOW or else they’ll burn me in hell“ I feel bad for readers who actually visit here because we actually have a thing in common and we’re a part of a growing kikay community here. That I forget to engage you on a personal level and instead, leave you with robotic magazine-like…
My Graphic Artist Brother and How I Broke My Phone :)
*sigh* and it’s just when there are soooo many products I have to review and soooo many events I have to cover! :(A week ago, (you may notice my lack of daily posts and update) I broke my phone. Not accidentally but out of a temper tantrum. I threw it on the floor and broke it’s glass cover. I had it since November last year and I love that phone so much because it was durable (well to accidents), waterproof and pink. Yes it’s similar to the photo you see above. I’m planning to take it to a mobile shop and see if I can have it fixed for less than a thousand…
Why Have You Been Posting Random Things?
Hello there ladies and gents. You may have noticed the past few days I’ve been posting randomly on different ingredients used in supplements, or topics that makes no sense at all. T. Well folks. I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve been doing a special experiment to determine how posting random thing will make KikaySiKat’s search rank go higher. Apparently, it’s half success half failure. It’s a success because it does increase search engine visibility. It’s a failure because readers (meaning you) will get annoyed and think “What the hell is she talking about? It’s not slightly interesting at all? Where’s the person? Where’s the personality?” There are a lot of things…
