The *baddest* is back with some life lessons for you guys. Filipino social media influencer, actor, author, singer, dancer, and beauty guru Bretman Rock imparted some life lessons he personally discovered as he turned 25.
Bretman first thanked the universe for making him a man of color. He said in a video posted on his instagram account, "Thank you universe for making me brown!" Then continued to flaunt the traditional 'bahag' he's wearing.
Bahag is a loincloth that's usually worn and woven by the indigenous group Igorot in the Cordillera region of the Philippines.

ICYDK, Bretman is a Leo and his birthday is July 31. Just recently, he celebrated his 25th birthday with a Bretman Rock-themed party—yes, the guests came to the party dressed as different versions and styles of Bretman. The influencer actually described it as a "night of 1,000 Bretman Rocks,"

A week after his 25th birthday, Bretman posted some of the life lessons he gained as he turned a year older—and a year wiser, as they say. In a video, Bretman enumerated these life lessons in the most humorous but also serious manner:
1. Be delusional. Your mind is your reality.
2. Have hobbies.
3. Make money with said hobbies.
4. Surround yourself with like-minded people.
5. Pay your taxes.
6. Don't let white people—(fill in the blank.)
7. Don't let straight people—(fill in the blank.)
8. Take care of other life, like plants.
9. Always go back to childhood and heal.
10. Be nice to everyone. Not kind. Be nice.
11. Don't buy expensive jewelry.
12. Always write shit down.
The influencer is known to always have that oozing self-confidence and headstrong personality for the things that really matter to him. He is an advocate against homophobia and racism.
It's also not a secret that he is a major pet and plant lover! Bretman takes care of different animals, including dogs and chickens! In fact, he has more than 40 chickens at his residence, and from time to time, he'd share moments with his beloved pets.
He's also a green thumb, cultivating his own garden.
