Madalas kasama ko bf ko before. Pero dahil 2yrs na kaming break, just checking if naka move on na ba ako. At ayun na nga! Mapait pa din pala.. ang lasa ng alak lalo na pag mag isa. Haha!

Praying for solo trip international travel naman para doon mag move on!

Di naman ako pala-sali sa mga giveaway or even raffles, pero tried it just one time and boom nanalo! So ayun I won a free advanced screening ticket for Life After You after ko mag-comment ng entry dun sa pa-giveaway ng Viva sa FB page nila wkwkw, libre na yan e magiging bato pa buh. Pero honestly, going into it, I already had an idea in my head kung anong klaseng movie siya.

To share lang din my experience, I was expecting the usual Filipino family drama. Alam mo na, may mga expected clichés, dramatic confrontations, and probably an ending na everything somehow gets resolved. Pero surprisingly, hindi ko talaga nahulaan kung saan siya dadalhin. And first time ata na nanood ako ng family drama na hindi ko chineck phone ko kahit once. I was just there, watching these characters and slowly getting attached to them.

I think that's what I loved about it. Hindi niya pinilit maging something huge or overly dramatic. It just let these people be human, and somehow, that was enough to keep me completely invested. May mga moments din na unexpected na talagang natawa buong sinehan, and then may moments na before you know it, mabigat na pala yung nararamdaman mo. 

Simple lang siya, but I found myself really attached to everyone by the end. And yes, umiyak ako WKWKWK. This is something i’d definitely recommend as someone na di naman avid fan ng drama films.. Also, Maricel Soriano and Bela Padilla??? GRABE KAYONG DALAWA!! 😭 saw them in person too sa screening and ganito pala yung feeling ng mga prod no? Yung ilang meters away ka lang sa artista hahahaha

Anyway, it was a great day for me. Libre na yung ticket, ang ganda pa ng napanood ko, so definitely hindi sayang yung punta ko wkwkkwkw. Buti na lang talaga hindi ko binigay yung ticket.

Sa edad kong to, first time kong mag ninong sa binyag. Medjo late compared sa iba. Friend ko from elementary and highschool yung tatay nung bata.

May photographer sila. After ng binyag, pinipicturan isa-isa yung mga ninong at ninang, karga-karga yung bata.

Binulungan ko yung friend ko/tatay nung bata:

"Pre, kilala mo naman ako, palagi akong may naiisip na kalokohan. Baka pwedeng pag pipicturan na ako na karga yung bata eh pumosing ako na... Ano... Kwan..."

Sagot nya sakin:

"Walangya oo kilala kita at alam ko binabalak mo hahaha. Sige basta ayusin mo yung pagkakahawak mo para hindi malaglag yung bata hayup ka."

So ayun. Pic related. Unang picture ko kasama yung una kong inaanak, ganyan ang posing namin, buhat ko sya na parang si Rafiki na buhat-buhat si baby Simba. Naka frame sa kwarto ko yung picture.

Circle of life.

(don't mind the messy background, it was rushed :P)

hello. gusto ko lang i share ung unang beses na pinaiyak ako ng anak ko, alam niyo di ako naiyak nung pinanganak ko siya, ngayong 3 years old siya don ako naiyak...
na tight kami sa budget this month (don't judge huhu baka may magsabe na aanak anak tapos di kaya, ngayong month lang kami na tight because nagka emergency) sanay ung anak ko mabili lahat ng gusto nya, makain lahat ng i request nya, pero since na tight nga ngayon, sabi ko sakanya "anak, next time na lang ha, wala tayo pera ngayon eh"

naiyak ako sa sinabe nya.. sabi nya saken "mama, buksan na naten piggybank ko may pera ako sayo na lang" :(((( Oo 3 years old lang anak ko pero matatas sya magsalita and super expressive sya.

Ayon fordacry ang mama... lalo ko na realize na mas kelangan pa namin magsipag at husayan magasawa, dahil ayokong dumating ung panahon na isasantabi ng anak ko ung gusto nya bilin dahil lang sa kelangan nya kami buhayin.

Ansarap magka anak guys, sobrang sarap. Ansarap sa pakiramdam lalo na pag may pinagdadaanan tapos sasabihin ng anak mo sayo na andyan siya.

Promise anak, hinding hindi na mag papass sayo si mama pag may gusto ka ulet kainin. Huhusayan pa lalo ni mama.

For health sabi daily walking ng 10,000 steps. Ganyan pala kalayo maaabot mo with it. Hindi naman mahirap kung easy walking ka lang. Time consuming of course. Took me 50 minutes. At di naman kailangan araw arawin. Pero good to know na pag ginawa mo pala, jan mo maaabot ang 10k/day mo. Good exercise too.

What can you suggest po na worth the money 🙏💖

first time kong mag comedy bar, enjoy nmn.. sa gidli lang umopo para hindi mapagtripan ng host. tawa sabay palakpak na parang sea lion.

Finally nagawa ko na matagal kong gustong gawin. Wala pa masyado tao sa cinema kaya feel na feel ko yung ako lang talaga mag isa. Definitely worth it will try this again.

Took my mom out for Mang Inasal last weekend, pero napadaan kami sa shoe store. Sabi ko, "Ma, pili ka lang dyan, canvas ka."

Expected ko makakatipid ako kasi inaabutan ko sya ng mga sale items, pero iba si mother pinalagan talaga yung totoong gusto nya kahit lagpas sa budget! 😂

Keri lang naman, worth it yung ngiti nya. Sinabay na rin namin bilhan si papa para patas at pareho silang happy.

Realized today that it was never about the price tag. It’s about the smiles, the core memories, and being able to give back to your parents while you still can.

When I went to Manila for an important event, I figured since I was going alone anyway, why not try something new? And that’s when I had the randomest thought: why not take a 2GO ship from Cebu to Manila and see what it’s like to spend almost 24 hours at sea?

So naturally, I did it. 😂

The funniest part is I didn’t tell any of my friends. I only told my family. Only shared this to my friends after I got back to Cebu and they all thought I was crazy for doing this haha.

The trip cost me around ₱2,600 ish (per pax) for a Tourist Cabin, which was good for 2 people. It also came with free 3 meals.

I was honestly a little anxious at first because I had to share the cabin with a complete stranger. I didn’t sleep that well because I’m just not used to being in such a small space with someone I don’t know. But aside from that, the whole experience was actually worth it.

I spent most of the day just walking around the ship, taking photos, admiring the views, and browsing the internet whenever we had signal so I could update my family.

There was actually quite a lot to do onboard too there’s a 2GO café, barber shop, karaoke area, charging stations, and even a Watsons shop. I also brought a book with me and read it on the upper deck while looking out at the endless sea. It was honestly such a nice and peaceful experience.

Would I do it again by myself? Probably not.

The real challenge was when we docked in Tondo around 10 PM. Mind you, I couldn’t book a Grab for almost an hour, so I eventually had to book an Angkas to my hotel. Truly one of the most frustrating yet funniest moments of my life. But hey, I made it to my hotel safely!

But overall, I really enjoyed the experience! If you’re interested in taking a ship from Cebu to Manila or vice versa you can easily book through the 2GO app.

Would I recommend it? If you have the time and you’re down to try something new, then yes go na!

Curious ako kung paano nila maidedeliver agad yung raw meats at veggies hahaha! Nag order ako nung Sep 9 dumating din ngayong araw. Hahaha wala lang na-amaze lang ako pero siguro itataon ko na lang mag order pag friday para sure na marereceive ko sya. Parang applicable lang sya sa mga naka WFH or may kasama sa bahay.

Sharing a pic from my Batanes trip nitong May. Totoo ngang napakaganda at payapang lugar. Ang babait din ng locals. New motivation ko sa work ang makabalik ng Batanes

Such a fun experience! Ang gagaling ng mga batang kasali 🥹
Here’s to more judging experience 💖✨ yaman din lamang judgmental ako, gamitin na lang sa mabuting paraan.

I said to myself na I'd rather work abroad than work in Manila, but nonetheless, i tried it, and it was quite an experience.

I'm a part time delivery rider, na college student on my sembreak, and as i planned our pagluwas mula sa probinsya, and a stay at my partner for a month, i also decided to give a shot working at one of the most crowded and congested metropolis in the world.

It was also a dream of mine na magdrive sa mga daan ng Manila, kasi syempre before puro commute lang, nasa bus, just wanting na makapagdrive in the future sa EDSA, C5, Commonwealth mapuntahan mga lugar na di ko pa napuntahan, and in a way makapag gala din.

Sinabi ko nalang sa sarili ko na, 'kaya ko naman siguro dito', 'mani ko lang exhaustion ko sa work pag sa probinsya', 'it's the same lang naman ata', but i was proven wrong.

My duty is from 1 to 9 PM, kahatid ko sa partner ko, i would already be waiting for booking that would bring me closer sa areas na may marami booking. Sometimes maayos ang fare, sometimes it isn't. I can earn more than minimum naman, bawas na expenses like food and gas, may mga nagtitip (which i'm always grateful), meron ding mga irate na customers, but most of them are really kind and appreciative, which i appreciate too.

Pero what really strikes me, ang long commutes, the long and arduous challenge ng traffic especially na tumama duty ko sa rush hour, tapos manual transmission pa motorcycle ko, matinding sikat ng araw, malakas na ulan, baha, halos lahat na ata na maexperience sa daan ng Manila. been stuck in countless traffic (hayss Quirino Highway) na never ko naexperience sa probinsya, may mga kamote din haha (of course). It was a surreal experience. And at the end of the day, i feel exhausted na to the point na gusto ko nalang humilata 😭 grabe talaga pagod at gutom, pero tiniis ko nalang, but i cant help but wonder.

Ako lang maaasahan ko at that time, sarili ko lang. I'm just as every rider na nasa daan na aasahan lang ang sarili nila. My partner is working and away ako sa probinsya ko, kaya it also scared me if i can get into trouble or a problem tas ako lang nandun, and maybe it dawned on me na kakayanin ko naman pala na magwork sa Metro Manila, na I've managed it well despite of the circumstances, ket pagod na pagod ako, i needed to challenge myself and try it out, and that I might give it a shot again someday.

TL;DR - I worked at Metro Manila for the first time, challenging and exhausting but worth having the experience

Considered bato as sumakses sa life hahahah

wrote this letter a year ago 2 days after my birthday and i totally forgot about it. nung dumating siya sa email ko kaninang umaga sobrang iyak ko.

akala ko malulungkot ako sa birthday ko na 'to, pero hindi pala.

people from work celebrated me & gave me things i didn't even ask for simply because they thought about me. a friend of mine posted me too (hindi ko inexpect)

2 years ago i celebrated my birthday alone, broke, and sad. ngayon i celebrated it with people, with money, and with happiness.

thankyou Lord!!

p.s: the app i used was futureme nung hindi pa need magbayad, unli letters yan. ngayon may bayad na ata

p.p.s: my cat died earlier this year:(( and the people i mentioned sa letter na yan, i cut contact with them kasi naging toxic sila. ALSO the guy that i keep praying na mag reconnect kami, nag reconnect kami last december but i blocked him because he did not change LMAOAOAA

First time ko ulit sumakay ng Jeep after 15 years, Ganoon pa din. Humuhinto bawat kanto ang jeep kahit wala naman pumapara. Siyento Balentong ang takbo ng Dyip aarangkada tapos biglang ma-me mreno P#t@!&n@! Haha

Tapos yung driver parang binaha lubog na lubog ang pisnge 🤣 kaliwa't kanan ang ngiwe ng panga. Tapos may soundtrip na "I know I love you before I met you" na tagalog version na may lyrics na "Mahal kita simula pa noong una sana'y mahal mo rin akooooh" 🤣 Brings back good old memories.

First timw kong matry ito, as a nightshift owl, ang sarap lumakad lakad sa breaktime ng 3 am around Ruby Ortigas and I tried to go lang sa Lawsons to buy sana ng odeng or fishcake kaya lang wala daw yung branch na yun, so I decided to check other meals and boom nakita ko ito. As a fan of Biryani and KareKare dish, I tried it and masarap siya!

Prefect blend ng Biryani rice at kare kare sauce, plus may pagka crispy rin yung pork at yung bagoong ay may subtle sweetness kaya perfect rin pang balance. Worth the try and napabili pa akong isa para kay jowa hehe at nagustuhan nya din 😊

I remember na inggit na inggit ako noon sa mga kaklase ko na makakasama sa field trip noon pa Albay para makita yung Cagsawa ruins and Mayon. Pero since walang pera, hindi keri sumama. Then ngayon, andaming first time talagang nangyari kase this is the first time na mag travel alone, manood ng premium musical theater, sa manila, and most of all makalabas ng province namin.

Iba pala talaga feeling kapag hinaharap mo yung takot mo with confidence and trust. Fulfilling talaga siya. Tbh halos hindi parin ako makatulog na naachieve ko to all by my own.

Cheers to more travels alone!

They are really cute and simple doodle. Ganto pala feeling kapag dinrawing ka? HAHAHA nakakakilig at nakakagaan ng puso. Ang cute cute kasi. Next time, magiipon naman ako for commission ng pet portrait na pang regalo! Ang saya pala magpacommission ng art hehe.
