— i told myself i'd be at the beach this week, resting after my last day at work. but here I am...shivering in the cold somewhere in baguio para samahan ang kapatid ko :’)

Agara Ramen | foam coffee

fourth day in baguio with no itinerary — just taking things slow and enjoying every moment.

tomorrow's our last full day so my sister and I are going cafe hopping. so far, common ground has been my favorite. tried their hot sea salt coffee and girl, it was soooo good!!! foam coffee tho? hmm ambience? aesthetic. coffee? basic :’)

hello may, hello tumblr —

it's been quiet here for a while… i know i once said i wouldn't come back but somehow, here I am again lol. I read your messages and i'm really grateful i found soft corners and kind people here.

lately, i've been choosing silence. i stepped away from tumblr, ig and facebook just to breathe… just to feel a little lighter. Hindi kasi ako okay these past few weeks, and this space doesn't feel as safe as it used to. i wish there was a way to make this place more private, just a small circle where only followers can see my posts. maybe someday.

for now, here are little pieces of my days:

another month, another gastos — quiet giving in different forms like a friend’s wedding, my parents’ aircon, our home in Lian, and a simple family outing

quiet celebrations and shared laughter at a friend's wedding with my love.

café hopping in Rizal with my boyfriend's friends

small attempts at taking care of myself: another skincare purchase, the Dr. Leo ceramide set. they say it works, so here we go again

my furbaby now healed after being neutered and playful again. tiny victories that feel a little like relief

and somewhere in between, searched for something new. a kind of work that feels lighter maybe something more independent, more my own kesa magbayad ng mas maraming tax sa bansang di naman ako mahal, charot. My co-worker got terminated kase layoff season na naman but lowkey wishing ako na lang sana na-terminate kase pagod na ko sa company na to.

PA emailed me and got a job offer last saturday while im on my vacayyy and just talked to my manager today that im going to resign na. bilis ng happenings lol

— a peaceful month pero gastos ang personality

Bought a standing desk and monitor kase i'll replace my macbook with a PC na maybe next month or May. Onti onti muna huhu. I'll setup a cozy working station ⚫️🟤

Bought a new iphone — pinag isipan ko yan ng 1 year promise lol bet na bet ko kase yung camera ngayon kesa sa old version.

New skincare na naman and im glad i did kase it worked (The ordinary retinoid) Back to 'the ordinary girly' kase hindi hiyang sakin mga korean skincare. :(

Bought new mini universe for my keyboard piano — kakashare ng reels sakin ng kapatid ko natempt na din ako. But it has all the effects na gusto ko 🫶🏻

Bought anniversary gifts for my boyf. Bukod sa ang sakit sa bulsa, ang hirap din magisip na kulang nalang underwear mabili ko charot HAHAHAAHA

Back to granola because lately I've been craving sweets. It's effective tho — I don't crave sweets anymore after.

Looking for new work kase natauhan na tayo :) They will give me a raise this paril pero dapat january pa kaya sa inyo na po yan hahanap nalang ako ng company that values and invests in its employees.
