Always be your Muse

Tuesday. Jan 5, 2021

This is the only photo I took today: my detox coffee to jump start my day. I’m planning on buying a new pair of batteries and new set of films for my mini instax because I want to take more photographs this year. But I’m also torn if I should buy a film camera instead.

I’ve been listening to this for weeks!

I think one month na rin akong LSS to Niki’s songs. And the first song that introduced me to Niki is Lowkey.

Basically, title palang nakuha na attention ko because “lowkey” is really the best word to describe my relationship with A, especially when we were just starting out.

I will always look back to those days nung pa mysterious pa mga post ko. My friends in the office were asking me why I don’t post photos of my boyfriend, puro daw nakatalikod. Haha.

Where to find the best Tumblr themes?

Oh hey, it’s been ages... 

While I’m busy on my website re-launch, I thought of paying my tumblr blog a visit. I know for sure, I won’t be active here again and perhaps, most people are browsing blogs with their phones. 

But I still want my tumblr blog to look good when viewed on a desktop. I used to spend days tweaking a theme to fit my preference. Good thing I know some basics in HTML. Anyway, this time, I just want a clean and simple theme. 

Have a look at mine and let me know what you think! :)

Missing Sagada.

Hey loves! Sharing with you my 1st ever Youtube video!! 🙈 First of all, I just want to put out there that I’m not a Pro when it comes to make up. I simply wanna share with you how to do an easy, peach make up look. 🍑 The best part is that most of the items that I used for this look are locally available & thus, easy to find at any drugstore near you. ♥️

Check out the video to see what items I used from these brands:

Just a few days ‘til payday and here we are—- already treating ourselves with milktea! Before I get into the drink itself, let me share a funny story:

We were actually supposed to buy from Coco and we’re even privileged to be their first customers since we waited for Veniece Mall to open, when we saw that Coco was close due to their Thanksgiving Party. Thirsty with the thought of a good milktea, we head over to Serenitea instead and tried out their Brown Sugar Taho (PHP 150, large size only).

It’s a good drink; although not the best, in my opinion, but it was still worth a try. We chose a 50% sugar level, which might explain why our drinks doesn’t have the usual “arnibal” kind of sweetness to it, unlike in the classic Taho from the neighborhood. Still, it’s good for the price.

I was at the pantry with my colleagues and was about to take my lunch when I noticed that my boyfriend left me several messages that seemed to be urgent. Once he asked me where I am, I started smiling like an idiot, called him right away and asked him where he is. I confidently knew he was near the area; well, he was!

Just had to share this because up to this day, I’m still in awe to know that he’s clingy. ♥️ I remember when we started dating, he was telling me about the girls he used to date in the past, and based on his stories he didn’t seem to be the clingy type. He subtlety admitted that he wasn’t going full force when pursuing a girl, which kinda turned me off back then. I was afraid that he’ll be the same to me: not exerting much effort and not affectionate enough.

I went from yay-weekend to monday-na-naman-bukas mood real quick.

Hey lovely folks of Tumblr! So my fam is planning a trip to HongKong this year and I’m having a hard time searching for a decent accommodation. We’re a really huge group — 17 to be exact, including both adults and kids. I’m thinking of a suite room that could accommodate that big of a group but so far no luck with that. If you happen to know a good hotel in HongKong, please do let me know. We’re also considering Airbnb.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y’ALL!!

I usually welcome the new year here on Tumblr and say one hopeful promise. That is to continue blogging and try to be active for the next 365 days. Well, not this year since I always break that promise anyway. Also, there is no point in saying that as I already left this blog almost a year ago by starting all over again on a new platform —- www.pattypavia.com.

For this year, I want to create a new list of hopeful promises. One of them is to free myself from the pressures of social media. I’d like to be able to post things without really thinking about the number of likes it will get. I’d like my instagram feed to be a platform filled with memories that are so dear to me, without having to think hard of its overall aesthetics. This may sound shallow but we gotta admit that social media affects us in some ways and it’s not a good thing to measure your value as a person based on the likes your posts are getting or on the overall aesthetics of your instagram feed.
