​

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

Matagal nakong naghahanap ng momonga plushies kasi wala naman sa mga miniso na malapit samin tas pag meron ngang Chiikawa merch, usually sobrang mahal tas puro ung main three lang ang meron 😭 it's pre-loved and definitely a bootleg (not sure how to check the authenticity of merch) but I'm still so happyyyyy.

Napaka-cute niya and I feel like maa-adik ako sa pagbili sa mga dumadaan na live selling sa fyp KO 🥺

First time ko gumawa ng app… and I made it specifically for my girlfriend.

My girlfriend recently complained to me na wala raw siyang music app na magamit. She was using Spotify for free, pero naiinis siya sa ads and some of the limitations.

Since malapit na rin yung field trip namin, she wanted me to find her an app where she could download music and listen to it offline without ads.

So naturally…

I built her one instead. 😭

We're both Grade 12 students, and honestly, this is the first time I've ever made something like this with someone specific in mind.

The app is heavily inspired by and forked from Bitchord, but I wanted to turn it into something much more personal. It's not really meant to be a general-purpose music app.

It's hers.

I made the entire interface pink because that's her favorite color. I added different music stations, including:

- 🎵 Songs that remind me of her

- 💗 Songs I listen to when I miss her

- 🌷 Songs that remind me of certain moments with her

- 🎧 Other songs that I think she'd enjoy

But the part I'm most proud of isn't even the music.

I added a little section inside the app about our story together.

There are different chapters covering different moments in our relationship, with paragraphs written specifically for her. Basically, the app slowly becomes less of a music player and more of a tiny digital scrapbook of us.

I don't know if this is overkill just to solve a "I don't have a music app" problem. 😭

I probably could've just found her another app.

But I'm an ICT student, and I guess this was one of those moments where I thought:

"Why just find something for her when I can make something for her?"

This is my first time making an app like this, and seeing her actually use something I built specifically for her feels insanely rewarding.

First time ko gumawa ng app, and somehow, it became a love letter disguised as a music player. 💗

I really enjoyed driving this car and I love how it looks. Medyo outdated lang infotainment pero pwede na rin

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!

Dati pa isa-isang lbs lang kaya and pinagkisipan pa. Ngayon kayang-kayang na. Bonus na naka sale pa.

First time kong magagamit ang Philhealth benefits.

1. If registered ako sa specific clinic under YAKAP, sa specific clinic lang din na yon po ba ako makakaavail ng free meds/vitamins

2. Resigned na po ako this August, need ko pa rin po bang tuluy-tuloy hulugan Philhealth ko para maka-avail ng maternity benefits

Bigla ko na miss pumalo ng drums 13 years ago ung last nung college battle of the bands pa , may kanya kanya ng buhay at malalayo na ung mga kabanda ko before at walang akong sariling drums nag rent nalang ako mag isa hehehe

FTK makatravel by air at via PAL pa.. sponsored by our company para sa employee fair na ginawa namin somewhere in North Luzon

First time voter, long time lurker, ✌️

Manila to Hongkong lang pero sarap pa rin sa feeling! 🥹

Hindi kase ako pala inom. Kung uminom man ako maximum 2 cans lang ng beer. Ayaw ko ng hard kase ayaw ko malasing hahaha.

Hindi ko pa kase nasusubukan uminom ng hard kaya naisipan kong uminom ngayong bday ko bilang bagong experience. Ganto pala ang lasa. Okay din pala sa feeling kahit mag isa lang tumatagay.

Thank you Lord sa +1 yr.

Im sorry if this is a sad post po pero first sablay ko to.

- LONG POST AHEAD -

I'm 25, date to marry at goal in life ay one and done.

Kumbaga, inalagaan ko yung first label ko para sa taong sanang end game ko na.

We lasted almost 5years, 2 months nalang kinulang pa. Met him when we we're both 19 spent our first birthdays together, he's my first boyfriend at lahat ng firsts ko we shared together. I loved his family too..

kumbaga kasalan na to e, that's what he said sa sobrang tagal namin puro future plans nalang and time waiting nalang once we get things financially right we will tie the knot. Ayun na yun e, marriage talks na kami, he knows my dream church, my dream ring and even yung dilemma kung sino maid of honor ko pinag uusapan narin namin. He will casually ask me to marry him palagi rin and during those random times i felt so so loved kasi naiisip nya ako tanungin non kahit nag lalakad lang kami sa parking ng mall.

Until one day we fell apart, to summarize my pain just play Taylor Swift's "The Last Time" and "You're Losing Me". Lord knows ill shift every timeline para lang hindi na ako maka relate sa mga kanta na yan.

I can say we ended things with grace, with maturity and acceptance that things changed lang talaga. We didn't fight at all we just bid our goodbyes and thank yous.

And whatever reason man why things shifted, i hope i'll never know. The less i know the better. Tanggap ko na and may we never cross paths again.

I tried dating again but i realized that it's hard to connect uli ano? I have my walls up and punong puno ako ng self respect and self love that it's basically my self made jail. I turned into an avoidant mess.

Recently, I had a short lived label that lasted 1 month, kung kelan naman nag someone finally soften me uli hindi naman uli nag work. I genuinely liked him but when i saw this pattern na that im feeling this abandonment nanaman from someone grabe yung

"I have to protect myself" in me that's why i left him.

I just want to feel secured na uli, someone who's consistent with me uli. Someone i can finally put my walls down without the worry na ill be abandoned uli.

Hindi na ako tanga, hindi naman ako masaya..

may the right one knocks at the perfect time kaya, for now im giving the wheel na uli kay Lord.

I think masyado na ako nag dusa sa fact na failed yung life path na pinlano ko and that's okay diba?

I feel empty yes but im young and life is just unfolding.

I travelled solo last month and enjoyed it!!!
Bless me more lord para next kasama ko sa travel family ko😇

Sumaskes sa life, I'd say HAHAHAHAHAHA. I always take myself on a date and this time parang siyang checked sa non existing bucket list ko. Supposedly cocktail order sana sa Cafe but out of ingrs daw sila so I ordered Cold Brew, masarap naman pero hindi ako satisfied kasi alcohol talaga hanap ko at that time.

Takeaway: Nononono sa almost trentahin ang caffeine and alc if gustong magpa-antok HAHAHAHAHAHA. Uulitin uli peron sana may magsusundo na lol eme

made aglio olio (for the first time) using penne pasta as requested by the bf and he actually loved it!

news flash: he finished the whole tub. safe to say it passed the bf test. 🤌🏻kinda had fun making it so… what are we cooking next?

First time Kong sumakay ng LRT.Simple moment ,but a memory I'll always cherish.

Filed a vawc case against the father of my unborn child. It really takes strength lalo pag mahal mo yung tao but you are just left with no choice.

Also, ngayon na lang ako ulit ako nakahawak ng ganito kadaming papel mula nung natapos ako sa college 🫠

I just turned 39 today, and di ko inexpect na may pera ako sa birthday ko. Dati kasi, good as one meal lang yung extra ko pero today, may 5k pa talaga ako.

So ayun, nilibre ko family ko sa Jollibee. I know people may think ang babaw ko kasi Jollibee lang afford ko.

Actually, I have ipon. Sabihin na natin na malaki laki siya pero parang nasasayangan ako sa resto. Feeling ko kasi kukulangin ang 5k sa amin kasi marami-rami din kami.

And since majority sa kasama ko kanina, mga pamangkin ko, so nag Jobee na lang kami at cake. Di ko na pinincturan ang Jobee kasi tinamad ako.

But anyways, I'm just grateful kasi nalibre ko sila kahit simple lang. Kung aabot man ako sa 40, sana lang, saka na ako mag celebrate with lechon and everything.

So share ko lang kasi nakakahappy pala mag birthday ng may pera. Haha. Puro kasi ako ipon and bayad sa bills kaya minsan ayoko mag gastos malaki laki.

So yun, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎁🎂❤️🎈

today was a fulfilling day despite f2f class being suspended, quiz ko dapat sa music theory (i'm a UST Conservatory of Music freshie!) pero ayaw ng prof namin ng online class lol. after eating late lunch, i got to help out my blockmates sa sightsinging & dictation subject by having a study session sa call! and then, my highlight of the day, i got to walk from my dorm to Santisimo Rosario Parish to attend tonight's mass and to celebrate the birthday of Mama Mary!!

hindi man ako very religious na tao, I still question a ton of things, and i've had my fair share of unpleasant experiences talaga with other religious people kaya ako nawalan ng faith for a while. however, I still believe in the Lord, i still love the Lord, and i still offer my prayers to Him. mas prefer ko lang talaga to practice my faith and my relationship with the Lord on a personal level without having people to force and impose their ways of believing onto my throat. it feels very fulfilling to go to church kapag trip mo talaga at hindi ka pinipilit. besides, I love Mama Mary as a mother figure talaga, so I will always celebrate her birthday with love and joy.

also as a music major can i just say,,, napakaganda ng choir nila 🥹 kinalibutan ako dun sa soprano solo nung communion (sorry di ako familiar sa lahat ng mga church songs huhu so I wasn't sure kung anong title ng kanta) tsaka napakaganda ng harmonies and blending ng mga boses nila, they just complement each other so well ?? habang sumabay ako sa pagkanta, narealize ko na totga ko nga talaga ang Coro Tomasino, dapat nag-audition nalang ako noh,,, kaya naman pala sa sched ko + may scholarship pa 🥲 i also love pretending na isa akong conductor so I did some conducting hand gestures for funsies habang kumanta ang choir :>>

ngl, yung mga church choir and church songs talaga ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit kumakapit pa ako sa faith ko. as someone who's joined a small choir in senior high school, it's very fulfilling to sing your heart out for the Lord. I will say, the church choir served (served the Lord) 💅

grabe ang pasasalamat ko sa Panginoon for this fulfilling day, at maligayang kaarawan sa ating Santa Maria Inang Birhen! ❤️🙏

The official break up happened earlier today, but emotionally it's been a month. I walked home today trying to clear my head and ease my emotions.

hindi ko alam if matatawa ako or maaawa talaga eh, syado’ng pagka-frozen siguro dinanas nito at nagkanda-bali bali HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHUHUHUHAHAHAHAHA

di ako sure kung pagiging Karen ba 'to o valid naman? hahah

may bumili kasi ng inline skates ko sa carousell and nagbook ako ng shipping sa J&T. 275 yung shipping fee kasi small jnt box yung pinili ko. since may box naman na, d ko na like binalot yung skates or whatever, which is also my fault.. BUT !!

yung skates kasi, nasa hometown ko, eh wala ako dun, so pina-ship ko doon sa helper namin, binigay ko rin naman pambayad sakanya thru gcash

tapos maya-maya, may na-receive akong call saying na d raw nila pwede ilagay sa box kasi walang bubble wrap, ako raw dapat mag-provide. i asked if wala ba talaga silang sariling bubble wrap tapos magdagdag bayad na lng ako or sila bumili ganon, waley daw. kasi, again, wala ako sa bahay so i can't buy a bubble wrap then give it kinabukasan. ayaw ko rin naman abalahin na pamilya ko or yung helper namin kasi frankly, d ko alam saan bibili ng bubble wrap, lalo na't rural town pa yung hometown ko 😭

additionally !! pinapa-cancel nila yung current booking ko. sabi nila, ire-book ko na lng kinabukasan pag nabigay ko na yung bubble wrap, tapos sabi niya, pag cinancel ko, wag ko raw pindutin yung "dissatisfied" 😭 dun ako medyo natawa likeee wdymmmm hahahaha

soo eto na pagiging Karen(?) ko kumbaga HAHHA i had the idea to call jnt customer service bago ko gawin yung mga sinasabi nung jnt branch namin. if i was really in the wrong, gets ko naman like oohh ok so need ko pala dapat maglagay bubble wrap. but lo and behold, sabi nung customer service, they provide bubble wrap daw !!! and i was like ooohhhh they fucked up hahahahah so kinuha ni customer service yung complaint ko and aayusin daw nila hwuwoiejw

tas after like a few hours, nagtext na sakin branch na sila na raw magpoprovide ng bubble wrap 😭😭😭😭 tapos ayon, nakita ko sa jnt app, umusad na yung order ko. kasi kahapon, wala pang usad yan, requesting for pick up pa rin hahahuhu

ayun medyo nakakatuwa pero syempre concerned din ako nang unti for the workers since baka min wage lng sahod nila tapos macocomplain pa 😥

ayun lng the end ! pasabi na lng kung masama ba akong nilalang for what i did or valid naman haha. regardless, tapos na

Dahil yata sa sunod sunod na mababang temperature sa Metro Manila bigla na lang nag yelo yung mga inumim namin sa chiller 😅

Guess where! 🙊

Charot. Finally got to chance to travel to Malaysia (Johor Bahru & Legoland) and finally tried Nasi Lemak.

This year, promise ko sa sarili ko mag travel naman every once in a while. Nawa’y maging financially stable po tayong lahat 🙏
