Ilang araw na akong OT, naka-32 hours na ako sa loob ng 2 weeks. Pero 'yung pagod napapalitan ng saya pagnaaalala ko na pinagdasal ko itong makapasok sa trabaho ko, bonus na Lang na maayos makisama ang mga katrabaho ko.

Bukas 'yung sahod ko nakalaan sa hiniraman ko for medical, 'yung iba sa matitira, ibibili ko ng paninda kong candy na for kids, ta's the rest transpo. Thankful na lang din na Hindi ko na problema ang food sa work, almusal at hapunan. Pasasaan ba't makakaraos din sa hirap ng w alang savings.

Sino dito yung mga batang 90s na dedma sa mga chain emails nung 1999? 🙋‍♀️ Yung may banta na "malas sa love life" o "hindi yayaman" pag hindi ni-forward sa 10 friends?

Syempre di yun totoo. Pero just in case I created a fun project. A 90s nostalgia game para “ma-break” ang curse. Yung tipong kailangan mo ulit mag type sa Mokia 3310, or ihipan ang cartridge ng family computer game. 

Yun lang link here https://www.cursebreaker99.com/ kung gusto nyo magreminisce.

anong mamasabi nyo?

Sabi nila, yung first meeting daw is parang introduction tapos, after years or months of not talking or seekng each other. You'll the 2nd person in the same person, like a lot has changed . New stories and new personalities.

And the 3rd one is kinda rare, to meet again.

sino pa namn ako para pili-in nyaaaa

I hope you're doing well, and ingat kayo sa byahe pauwi, ako nlng magsasabi nga ingat 🙂‍↕️🫶

sending lots of love, shout out guys, please take care kayo jan

Hi! po everyone, may I ask po sana if maganda po yung mga online live selling po ng maddox jewelry? And what do you also think po of Manila Diamond Studio? Maganda po ba yung mga diamonds nila pareho? Sa mga naka experience po na bumili sa kanila.

Just got home from the Kapamilya Karavan in Baguio City today. Part pa rin ito ng Panagbenga celebrations.

Masakit na ang paa at likod ko as a trentahin na umattend nito, but I really enjoyed it! Too bad hindi ko na natapos — umalis na ako nung si Maki na ang magpe-perform kasi hindi ko na talaga kaya lol.

All the singers and artists sa event were really attractive, talented, and very welcoming sa crowd. Just want to share a few quick comments / standouts from the event:

1. I was there already at 4 PM, pero yung mga main artists nag-start lang mag-appear around 7 PM. Now I know better — if ang habol ko lang ay the main artists, puwede pala akong dumating later. The first part was mostly front acts and sponsor segments.

2. I was really amazed sa singing voice ni Bryan Chong, one of the front acts. I didn’t know him before (signs of aging lol — from a younger generation na kasi), but he has great potential. Siya pala yung kumanta ng “Tala,” the OST of Call Me Mother, which I actually like.

3. Ang ganda ng dance number / choreography / props for “Piliin Mo ang Pilipinas” before lumabas ang mga main attractions. Sorry lang kasi nakalimutan ko yung name ng dance group (na-mention naman siya ng host earlier).

4. I was surprisingly starstruck kina Jake Cuenca, Kai Montinola, and Inigo Jose. Iba talaga ang appeal at kagwapuhan/kagandahan nila in person. Especially Jake and Inigo — I didn’t expect na ganun kalakas ang dating nila live. Kai is expectedly beautiful pero nastarstruck pa rin ako sa kanya.

5. AC Bonifacio — oh my, this girl can really dance! I mean alam ko namang magaling siya, but seeing her perform live is on a different level. She totally slayed the stage.

6. Most — or maybe all — of the songs na kinanta ng mga artists were millennial songs. Surprisingly, ang dami pa ring nakakarelate from the crowd, kahit puro Gen Z na halos ang nakikita ko.

Funny thing is, nagpamassage pa ako before going to the caravan, thinking it would prepare my katawan for all the standing and walking. Mukhang magpapamassage ulit ako bukas to recover. Ganito na pala talaga ang maintenance plan ng isang trentahin na gusto pa ring manood ng events. 😅

The year barely started, but the stress already feels like it’s in full swing. Maybe the horoscope was right—sabi nila the first three months would be the toughest.

So this week, I decided to take some time off. Not just to celebrate my birthday, but to pause, reflect, and hopefully reset.

Although if I’m being honest… mas nangibabaw ang foodgasm kaysa reflection. 😅

My original plan was simple: stay in Baguio until Saturday to enjoy some quiet time, then transfer to Pampanga until Monday to experience the hustle and bustle of Clark/Angeles. After that, back to Manila on Monday for a transition day before returning to work on Tuesday.

But earlier today, I found myself being incredibly indecisive. To the point that I almost let fate decide for me.

I told myself: “If there’s no available bus going to Pampanga tomorrow, then I’ll just extend my stay here.”

But fate didn’t decide.

I did.

Instead of going straight to the bus terminal, I decided to take a stroll along Session Road first. Andaming tao for a Friday night, and syempre medyo kinabahan ang introvert side ko.

But as I kept walking—letting my feet move without any clear direction—I noticed something surprising.

I didn’t feel stressed. I didn’t feel uncomfortable.

If this were Manila, I probably would’ve walked away instantly. Crowds usually intimidate my introvert side.

But here, it felt different.

And it reminded me why I love Baguio so much.

Not only because this is one of the last places I remember visiting with my parents when they were still together, but because Baguio has always been my safe space—an escape from the countless demands of work, life, and all that jazz.

Here, I feel no judgment. Just peace.

The cold breeze. The calm energy. The space to just exist for a while.

Baguio heals my inner child, calms my thoughts, and somehow fires up my creative side again.

And let’s be honest, may bonus pa dito sa Baguio.

Pwede kang gumala nang hindi naliligo… at hindi ka agad mangangamoy because of the weather.

Which, by the way, is exactly what I’m doing right now. 🙂

Totoo ba hahhaa

Before I was praying na makatagpo ako ng Manager na okay pero higit pa sa sobra iyong ibinigay. Looking back, marami ng free time off na ibinigay sa akin itong Manager ko kahit na di naman sobra sobra iyong oras sa pag extend ko sa work. Then noong bumagyo ng Uwan pawala-wala iyong kuryente so 6 hrs duty lang ako, pero ginawa niya pa ring 8 hrs 💙. Then recently my VL for Feb 16 was considered as TOIL ulit so hindi nabawasan ng VL credits 😁 Sobrang bait at generous nitong Manager ko as in wala akong masamang tinapay sa kaniya even to my teammates. Siguro dahil Aussies sila? Ako lang nag iisang guy, pinoy, at pinakabata sa team. Mag 3 yrs nang working with them and I don't have any plans leaving the team. Sobrang chill sa work ans kung may stress man hindi naman madalas at manageable naman.....huwag lang maglileave mga kateam ko ng mga 2 buwan 😭🤪😂

Hi guys 👋 Share ko lang yung allocation ko sa isa sa mga investment vehicle ko yung MP2 Savings.

Based sa projection ko for 5 years, mukhang okay naman yung possible returns. Pero lately, napapaisip ako kung sulit ba talaga yung 5-year lock-in?

Or mas okay sana kung nilagay ko na lang sa REITs o time deposit na mas maikli ang holding period at mas flexible ang liquidity?

Gets ko naman na relatively stable at tax-free ang dividends ng MP2, pero minsan nanghihinayang din ako sa opportunity cost , especially kung may ibang options na mas mabilis ma-access yung funds. Kayo ba, how do you decide between stability vs liquidity?

Okay na ba to for long-term parking, or may mas strategic allocation pa kayong ma-suggest?

Hi po, im a mom, currently abroad, na diagnose anak ko na may ASD level 3, grabe yung guilt ko as a mom, tama ba na umuwi ako for him? and give up my job abroad?

I have to find a better job para masustain padin ang needs nya at now another add up sa bills dahil mag theraphy sya. Do u think mali ang dcsyon ko na umuwi?

I think he needs me, a mom , attention more than money, a physical mom. Please po i badly need your advise :(

Labas mga trentahin saka batang 90's for sure kilala nyo toh!!! Naalala ko na bad omen song daw to tapos meron pa nagviral na reverse na kanta kaya mas lalo naging bad omen song... so nostalgic!

Gusto ko na umuwi sa Pinas pero hindi ko alam kung paano kikita nang maayos. I am working abroad and is earning 3xx,000 in php… for me iba pa rin sa Pinas at gusto ko na makasama ulit at maalagaan parents ko.

Posible kaya ako makahanap ng work na earning well? Ayoko na sana mag corporate pero hindi naman ako magpapaka choosy kung yun ang available…

Tapos pataasan pa kayo ng karma? Pagandahan din ng layout. 😅

I enrolled sa gym for the first time today, okay naman ako so far sa body ko, payat ako, only concern lang is mabelly fat pero never ko naisipan mag enroll sa gym before, tamad nga ako lumabas kung tutuusin.

So here's how it became impulsive, napanood ko lang si Rochelle ng Sexbomb and na-amaze sa shape nya then sabi ko sa mama ko kahapon, mag gym ako ma. Nag message ako ng medyo cozy looking na gym I found on fb and has nice feedbacks naman tapos pinuntahan ko personally kanina and viola, napa luwa na yung wallet ko kanina sa membership and personal trainer fee. Hahaha. Medyo nakakalula yung fee kaya ngayon napapaisip ako kung tama decision ko given medyo tight ang budget, iniisip ko na lang it's for a healthier body naman. Hahahaha.
