Idle time

I really don't have anything relevant stuff to say.
It's just it's Friday and it seems like everything at work has been fixed or somewhat okay now.
I've been working for 10 hours every day since last week plus weekend work. I even worked for 15 hours the other day because of deadlines. Lol
I still enjoy it though. I just feel so pressured and exhausted.
So glad I got to rest this weekend without anything work-related on my mind.
I can finally continue everything I'm watching on Netflix lol (I know, I'm boring)

So life updates!
Andy and I are in our 8th month. I know. Time flew so fast that it didn't feel like it was that long already. It doesn't feel like we're on our 8th month but it feels like we've known each other forever.
My great grandma is gonna arrive next week.
I'm excited for next month! I will surely blog about it here!!
I miss my friends even if I talk to them on group chats.

One time, Andy and I were talking about my friends. How I have separate group chats for each like:
I have a group chat for my high school best friends. Johnaley and Joey.
I have a group chat for my 3rd-year high school best friends. Johnley and Kerstein.
I have a group chat for my 4th-year high school best friends. Andhe, Kate, Anthony, Yeng, Kelvin & Joseph.
I have a group chat for my college best friends. Darwin, Sabel & Patrick.
I have a group chat for my girls. Mau, Jazmine, Frances & Kelly.
I have a group chat for my two closest friends from work. Nian and Dice.

I know. That's a lot.
I just love keeping in touch with my friends. Lol clingy since birth.
I think, as we grow older, we value the friendships we have in our life even more.
We make it a point to cherish and appreciate each one of them who stayed true to us through the years.

It's not a secret that I lost a couple of close friends in the past couple years.
I still care for them and I wish them happiness even if we're not friends anymore.
The last thing I heard about them was one just got married & had a kid then the other one is busy exploring the world cause she's a flight attendant.
I still have love for them but I have accepted that as you go through life, you will lose some people along the way and that all happened for a reason.
You can never force friendships and you should never try to.
"If you're not losing friends, you might not be growing up"
(^ read that somewhere)

LOL
So, yeah, I love every single one of my friends.
I can say that I finally got my circle sorted out this year.
No more of that bs, just da realessssst. Cheers!

Who would've thought I'd get you

I was never the kind of girl who likes receiving a bouquet of flowers, especially roses.
I think they're overrated and I'm not saying this to make me look cool.
I think buying flowers is a waste of money. They're expensive af. lol
But being in that moment, receiving a bouquet from someone you love and care for... it's a feeling I can't put into words. (But I'm talkative, so, of course, I'll try haha)

It was so unexpected.
It was a Tuesday.
Andy and I were FaceTiming before I went to bed around 8 in the morning.
I woke up around 2 in the afternoon because the dogs were barking and my phone kept on ringing.
I even thought it was the stuff I bought online last Monday & I was thinking how fast it got shipped. Lol
I was so sleepy that I wanted to just sleep and not mind them but the dogs were freaking noisy.
Soooo.. I went down and when I opened the door, I saw a delivery guy holding a bouquet of flowers and I was about to get pissed cause I thought they got the wrong address but they said it was for me.
I was half-asleep signing a paper with my name on it, receiving the bouquet of roses.
I asked the delivery guy who is it from and he just told me that there's a card.

He didn't even write a name!!

When I opened the card, it didn't even have a name on it.
I called Andy on FaceTime and immediately asked: "WHAT DID YOU DO?"
I gotta give props to his acting skills cause he really looked like he didn't know what I was talking about until he laughed cause I was going crazy thinking who could possibly send me flowers.

It was so sweet because there wasn't a special occasion.
I appreciate it so much, not because of the flowers, because the gesture made me feel so special.

I guess I can now understand the girls who post bouquets on social media.
And, of course, I'm so extra that I needed to take a picture with it. LOL

Just in case Andy's reading this...
Hi babe, I love you. Stop stalking

Just a phase, indeed

July 2012

Yesterday, I had dinner with Kelly & Mau.
We were catching up and all that & we came into a certain topic where it made me realize how much I really changed.
I realized how dependent I was on my emotions and how impulsive I was on my decisions.

I was in a /long distance relationship/ all throughout college. The distance wasn't that big but you know what I mean.
It was a messy relationship.
Edz didn't think twice of dropping me when a new girl came alone and I admit I got attracted to too many other guys. lol
I know, I know, it was so immature.
Let me throw the "I was just a kid back then" excuse in.

The relationship was so messy that I know that we both know that we were staying for the wrong reasons but we still tried to deny it and tried to work it out.. & eventually, didn't for me.
To be honest, I can't remember details from it anymore cause that was so more than 5 years ago.
It'll be so bad to name drop, at least the ones that were mutual, but I don't think anyone reads my blog anyway so.. There was Carl, Nikko, Yco, Yao (again, I know. *facepalm*), Mark, Alexon.
Those were the ones on top of my head and I don't wanna dig deeper lol

It's so weird how I was like that back then.
Weird that it makes me cringe how much of a slut I was. HAHAHAHA
I can't think of any other reason why I was like that back then.
It looked like I can't live without a guy in my life. *cringes*
Right now, I can say I'm not that person anymore. It feels great.

When I broke up with Edz, I made it a point to really move on and focus on self-love.
At first, it was hard. It felt like I was just gonna eat my words and get back with Edz cause that was THE cycle but thinking of the things I want in life made me take the first couple steps away from that.
I'll admit I did some talking and dating around.
The difference was, this time, I wasn't taking any more bs and I was single.
I focused on improving myself, doing stuff on my own... I think I overdid it cause I don't even wanna watch movies at the cinema with anyone anymore. lol

And right now, I'm in a relationship. It's long distance... waaaaay bigger than the last one but I no longer feel like how I was back then.
I feel happier, independent & that I know better now.
I don't talk to other guys that way anymore, I've learned the art of 'dedma'. lol
Before Andy, I used to go out a lot, go to the bar & drink almost every weekend but I don't know why I don't anymore.
Andy doesn't prohibit me to go out and even if he does... well he won't cause he knows I don't like being told what to do.

I don't regret the stuff I did before. I don't regret being immature.
I don't regret going through that phase cause I can now say that I've been through that, I know what that felt like and I'm over it.
That all made me the person I am today and I'm glad of who I am right now.

Love finds you

I pray to God that I don't jinx this.
I've been holding myself back to blog or post anything about this guy 'cause I'm too scared to jinx it.
In the past, whenever I feel happy with someone or like something is kinda going good, I somehow jinx after I post or write or talk about it.
He isn't a secret at all. I talk about him with my close friends and my sister. My mom knows about him.
I just don't blog about him or post much on social media.

It has been half a year now.
We've been together for 6 freaking months.
Can you believe that? Yeah, me neither.
It has been a rocky start for us. Ya know, the basic. Exes, past stuff, adjustments and all that but we made it through all that.
It just went by so fast. It doesn't feel like 6 months at all.
I guess, this is what genuine & lasting happiness feels like.
What they always say, "Time flies so fast when you're having fun" & hell that's so true.

I know this sounds so cliche but, trust me, I mean it when I say Andy is the best boyfriend ever.
He can tell how I'm feeling the moment I answer the phone and say "hello".
He can tell if I'm thinking bout something even if he can't see or even if I'm not talking.
He understands how I feel and why I feel that way.
He makes me feel special by appreciating even the little things I do or say.
He's not afraid to talk about the hard topics.
He supports me with everything I do and want.
He believes in me.
He doesn't hesitate to tell me when I'm doing something off or wrong.
He just sees through me.
He treats me so well.
I'm so comfortable with him and it's so crazy.
I don't even know why I'm listing everything but I can go on about everything all day.
I guess I am new to this stuff. The stuff on how a real relationship should be.
Cause if you know me or read my blog, you'll know that my past relationship was crap and toxic af.
I think I have deleted some posts and it made me cringe. I can't believe I let someone treat me that way for so long.
But, in a way, I'm still thankful... cause maybe this is God's reward for me.
And damn, I'm so thankful.

I am happy... that joy in my heart, the butterflies I feel in my stomach, the contentment, that peaceful feeling that everything's gonna be okay.

So, Andy, if you're reading this... well, damn, stalker much? JK! I love you, baby. Forever and always. We gooooooooood lol ♡

Cecilia

Oh, grief.
Fucking grief.

I don't know how and where to start.
I always say that it's easier for me to write when I'm sad.... but this is waaaay different.
I can't even think of a way to start explaining or describing what I'm feeling.

It was Friday morning, I went home a half hour past 5.
My aunt was messaging me to wait for her and her husband because they're gonna drop by the apartment. They did. We talked for a while and then they left.
I was already planning on ditching work that day to prepare for a birthday party on Saturday.

My phone rang. It was my sister.
I thought she was calling to remind me to buy her a prepaid card.
I answered my phone and she was already crying.
She asked where I was, I said I was home.
And then she said, "Wala na si nanay".
I couldn't believe it. Just like that.
I started crying. I couldn't think straight. All I wanted to do was go home.
My sister started explaining how and when it happened.

It happened between past midnight to 6 in the morning.
We're assuming she was having a heart attack then she stood up and tried to go to the bathroom but fell and passed away.
There was vomit on her bed.. they said that's how it goes when it's your time.

I cried. I cried so hard cause she didn't wait for me.
I cried mostly because I can't imagine life without her.
She was always there helping us and taking care of us.
She was so selfless.
She wasn't my grandma by blood but she loved us as if we were his own kids.
I remember when I was still in high school, she was still living at my grandma's house, whenever my sister and I go there, she will cook my favorite food - tortang talong. She will even give us tricycle fare just cause she didn't want us to walk even if it wasn't that far. I know a tricycle fare is not that much but she didn't even have much but she still gave.
I wanted my own kids to personally know her cause I know she will love them as much as she loved us.

In a way, I keep thinking that maybe Nanay didn't wait for me cause she knows that I can never handle finding her that way.
I keep thinking that at least she's no longer suffering now. Suffering from this world.
She didn't even die in a hard way and that is an answered prayer.
With everything she went through in her lifetime, she doesn't deserve to be in pain.

Nanay Celing will be forever in our hearts. We will forever miss her.
I know she's looking at us from heaven right now, guiding us.
I know she died in our house and other people may ask if we're scared or what and, honestly, I don't see any reason to be scared. Nanay won't scare us. She knows us too well.
She's our guardian angel.
We love you, Nanay.

Inflatable Island PH

90% of my Inflatable Island PH experience lol

Last weekend, my friends and I went to my hometown with no hotel reservation or a plan at all.

Yes, we're so extra with our Timezone Photobooth pic

Saturday morning, we all decided to meet up at Victory Liner - Cubao Terminal. I went there straight from work.. even if I worked from home haha. No sleep and hungry. There we a lot of people at the terminal. We had to wait for our bus for like two hours and it was hella hot but that gave us time to search for a hotel to stay at and finalize our plan.

We arrived at Olongapo around 3 in the afternoon. We decided to just go to the Inflatable Island Sunday morning cause we were too tired already. We went to SM Olongapo and had our late lunch at Mang Inasal. After that, we went to Harbor Point. Strolled around the mall, played at Timezone and grabbed some coffee and cake before we went back to the hotel. I swear I slept so quick. I was so tired.

Sunday morning, we woke up early. Breakfast at Chowking near the jeepney terminal then went to Samba Beach Resort. There were a few people already when we got there. We bought the two-hour pass and I'm so glad we did. It costs Php 799 but if you can buy it for 699 when you book it online. After buying the ticket, you can go inside already to be oriented and to sign waivers. You need the waiver to be able to get the life vest. You can also get a locker for your personal belongings. I'm so glad that we went early morning cause there weren't that many people yet and the sun is not that strong. After having your life vest set and all, you can now go to the Inflatable Island.

Line for the life vest

Me after trying so hard not to fall or slip

Over all, the experience was fun. I wouldn't do it again though... or maybe I will when I'm more physically fit. HAHAHAHAHA which is never lol It was a fun weekend. It's just so nice to be with these people again. And I'm happy that we're all still in touch with each other.

Safe Haven

I got a lot of stuff on my mind... I don't really wanna talk bout it here or anywhere.
I honestly don't know what to write in here.
I'm a bit gloomy.
So, I'm currently listening to Ruth B.'s "Safe Heaven" album... that's why I'm gonna list my top 5 fave songs from this album.
I randomly found her at around 4 in the morning on Spotify last Saturday and instantly fell in love with every song.

Mixed Signals

"I don't know what road we're on, I don't know what we're heading towards... but I know my heart is all yours"

This song is about being in a relationship with someone but you're unsure whether it's gonna go somewhere or not. Like you know you deserve better but you still have hope for the both of you.

Dandelions

"And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime, and I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine"

This song is my very top favorite song in this album. I remember hearing this song for the first time, I got teary eyes and all I can think bout is Andy. What a feel good song. The beat, the lyrics, Ruth B.'s voice. Just perfect.

Unrighteous

"No chance we're going to make it but baby can we fake it? 'Cause even though I know you're not the one, this has really been a lot of fun.."

This song hurts my heart like a bitch. I don't know why. Lol. This song is knowing that there is nothing there anymore, that you're just forcing for it to make it work just cause you're happy. It's like knowing that it'll end soon and you got nothing else to do to stop it.

If this is love

"It's been a long time since I've felt the way that I do now, like I need you but I don't know how. It's been a while since I smiled and I meant it for all my heart but the idea of leaving this behind, it tears me apart"

This was the song that made me go to Ruth B.'s album. The lyric quote above is the exact feeling I am feeling right now. Like I've blogged before that I have commitment issues, I flake/disappear/run away once it becomes serious but I just don't know how, why or what made me just jump into it.. and now, it scares me like hell. Okay, enough. Lol

Safe Haven

"When the world is caving, baby you're my safe haven"

Feel good music. This is a song about a person who makes it all better even when life gets so hard. He/She is like your safety net, your home, your safe haven. When everything seems like going all the way down below, you have that person to remind you that everything is alright.. everything is gonna be alright.


I love the other songs too but these 5 songs are the ones I keep on loop.
I like to think that Ruth B. is the female version of Ed Sheeran. Lol oh well

24

 

Wow. How time flew so fast. It feels like I was only 23 yesterday..... LOL ok I'm not funny

I forgot that it's my birthday today. lol
I didn't really do anything. At all.
I slept then went to work.
I'm planning on buying a green tea frappe at Starbucks later and claim my free cake.
That's it. Lol I know I'm boring and I feel sick. I have colds.
A lot of people greeted me today. I appreciate every one of them.

So, 24th year.
A 'thank you' is not enough to thank the big guy up there for everything that I have accomplished, for all the blessings He gave me, for all the struggles/challenges that made what I am today... Stronger, definitely wiser and more determined.
I know I said I wouldn't delete posts from the past cause those were real stuff and those struggles or sadness made me the person I am today but all I see is clutter... lol and besides, moving forward now right. Keeping all the relevant stuff though. Just removing some shit gradually.

Well, for the past years, my birthday day wishes were pretty generic. Like good health, more blessings and the like... Few times I've wished for someone to come along. That someone who will stay with a very stubborn, moody and paranoid person like me and I'd like to think that after years of praying, wishing and hoping, I finally got my wish. I met Andy. We've been together for three months now. Feels like forever, I swear. I've been the crappiest, the craziest, the moodiest that I have ever been and he's still there... taking all the crap I'm throwing at him.

This year, I still wish for the same. Good health & more blessings for my whole family and friends. Especially now that my grandmas and granddads are getting older and my great grandma is turning 91 this year.
For my personal wish, I wish for this to work. I want this to work so bad. So bad that I haven't blogged much about it cause I don't wanna jinx it. In fact, I haven't even blogged about anything at all and that happens when I'm happy. And I am happy. :)

They said that you should love yourself first. Invest in yourself first.
I can truly say that that is the key.. the key to have that joy in your heart and soul.
I spent the past couple years loving myself, taking care of myself, being independent, trying new stuff by myself, stepping out of my comfort zone...
This year, I can say that I have achieved that. Not perfect but I'm there.
Cheers for another year!

Divide

Ed freaking Sheeran has done it again.

Ed has released a new album called " ÷ " & I swear just when you thought that Ed can't top his top songs, he proves you wrong.

Album has been released last March 3rd and I don't know why I only listened to it last night.

Anyway, the album has 16 tracks and, of course, I'm only gonna list my favorites lol

The whole album is awesome though. Two thumbs up!

I have like 8 fave songs and this is how I relate to or interpret them. I repeat, I am no music specialist or whatsoever. I just love music and writing about how it makes me feel.

Dive

"So don't call me baby, unless you mean it. Don't tell me you need me, if you don't believe it. So let me know the truth before I dive right into you"

This is the third song on the album and it's like a song about a vulnerable person asking for reassurance. Reassurance before the person falls for the other person. I guess this song is one of my faves because it speaks how I am whenever I am about to like someone. I make sure that the feeling is being reciprocated before I put my 100% effort into it. Lol trust issues and commitment issues, indeed. But who doesn't have those right?

Shape of you

"We push and pull like a magnet do although my heart is falling too"

Mainstream song lol

Just cause this is one of Ed's single. I still like it though cause the beat is nice and very catchy.

Perfect

"We are still kids, but we're so in love. Fighting against all odds, I know we'll be alright this time"

This song just warms my heart up. It's is being in love for a long time and waited for that right time. A love against all the odds. It makes me feel so good being in love. Feel good music, indeed. And apparently, this song is reminiscent of One Direction's "Eighteen". So that's why it kinda has the same beat.

Galway Girl

"You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band but she fell in love with an English man"

This song has a "Don't" feels. That acoustic pop style never fades for me. The beat gives me eargasm lol Instruments, Ed's voice, it all just fits. Upbeat and has that cool, fresh vibe.

Happier

"'Cause baby you look happier, you do. My friends told me one day I'll feel it too.. and until then I'll smile to hide the truth but I know I was happier with you"

THIS SONG. I can say that this is my most favorite song in this album. It is a sad, thinking positive song. I LOVE the lyrics. I had a hard time picking a verse to paste up there cause I love every word of this song. It is about losing that someone who once made you so happy and seeing them happy with someone else. Hurts to the core. Lol It's not like I'm in that situation cause I'm not. I am not sad and I'm not going through a similar situation but whenever I hear this song... man... I just can't help but feel every ache in my heart that I forgot. It is very hard to see someone you love and care for happy with someone else. Selfish but true. But we all gotta move on. We can't just be stuck in there and wait for that person.. opposed to the last two line of this song lol "But if he breaks your heart like lovers do, just know that I'll be waiting here for you" lol For me, it is okay to wait but know when to stop. Just learn to love yourself first cause that way you'll find the happiness that no one can take away from you. HUHU BUT I JUST LOVE THIS SONG. OBVIOUSLY CAUSE I JUST WROTE A BUNCH OF THIS COMPARED TO THE OTHER SONGS LOL

New Man

"I know you're missin' all this kind of love but I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me"

I don't know what song but this song sounds familiar but the lyrics are nice though. It's a song saying how much your ex has changed ever since he/she found a new girlfriend/boyfriend. Also saying how different the new girlfriend/boyfriend is from you but, even so, your ex still keeps on trying to get with you behind the new girlfriend/boyfriend's back. Lol

Hearts don't break here

"That every night I'll kiss you, you'll say in my ear, "Oh, we're in love, aren't we?"

This is my third most favorite song in this album. Just cause it has that romantic vibe of how much someone loves someone. How sure your feelings are for that person and how that person gives light... spark or even fireworks to your life. It's taking a leap of faith in loving that someone. Giving your heart without a doubt cause you trust that person.

How would you feel (Paean)

"I'll be taking my time... spending my life.. falling deeper in love with you"

And this! This is my second fave song on this album. It speaks about growing old with that person. Falling deeper every day. I think everyone, even if they deny it, wants someone to grow old with. I've been single for a couple of years and I was happy. I learned to love my self and be independent. But I won't deny that this, the feeling of being loved and cared for, is so gooooood. It's nice knowing that someone values you and wants to spend his life enduring all your mood swings and still wants to wake up seeing your face every day.

I honestly love the whole album. I don't know if it's Ed's voice, the instruments or the words that make it mooooooore alluring. Must be all of the above. Ed Sheeran is just so awesome. What a gem.

Back and alive

Well, hello, blog. I am back.

Yes, I am trying, trying so hard to update my blog every once in a while.

And since I got this new laptop from work, I will try to blog more often.

I don't know where these views are coming from but it's nice to know that someone out there is reading my stuff. Nonsense or not. Ya know what I mean.

For a long time, I really question myself on why do I blog. I think my reason was that I like writing about stuff, mostly my feelings, or lessons I learned and stuff like that. Cause I suck at writing about happy stuff lol

But, last week, I realized that another reason why I blog is that whenever I feel like I'm in that depressing or sad cycle again, I'll just read a blog post I wrote and I feel all better or even a bit better. Just cause I know that I can make it through just like the last time. Right?

Ah well. I don't really have a lot to update. I even added a gif that I took literally 5 minutes ago just to make this look interesting. Hahahaha

I've been busy with work lately and spending time with the boyf.

LOL YES, I AM OFFICIALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP NOW.

Hoping for the best. Not a lot of friends know and met him yet cause I don't know. I just think that as long as the people close to me know him and that we are happy then I'm good. Idc about the other lurkers. Lol

Reverse fucking psychology

"I told you cause I want you to hear it from me first"
"Aren't you glad I told you instead of you finding out from someone else?"
"Doesn't it tell something that I told you instead of lying?"

Oh, just a few defensive reasons I have heard first hand and from other people.
I just don't get it. Maybe I will never get it.
What goes into guys' minds when they do what they did and then be honest about it then say those crappy reasons?
I'm not generalizing guys neither just saying only guys do this but ya know what I'm saying. WHY?

Imagine this scenario:
The guy does stuff he knows that is wrong and will hurt or make his girlfriend mad.
Tells her girlfriend about it because he thinks he should tell her.
He feels guilty. He wants to be honest. He doesn't want her to find out from other people.
Girlfriend gets mad.
The guy does reverse psychology.
Makes her feel guilty or bad about being mad when the guy was being honest.
THIS IS FULL OF SHIT.

Why do it in the first place if you know she will be hurt or be upset?
Why? Just fucking why?
People who do this doesn't know how much it affects the other person.
They make the other person question herself.
Question herself if she is really right to be mad or upset or feel whatever she is feeling.
Basically making her crazy and doubtful about her emotions and reactions.
And that is crap.
You shouldn't be with someone who makes you feel like that.
Never settle for those kinds of people. They will just do that over and over again.


I'm just basically ranting because why not. And some people are jerks.

23:59

You know me; now and then, I'm a mess
Please don't hold that against me
I'm a girl with a temper and heat
I know I can be crazy

Been LSS-ing on Snakeships' "Don't Leave" cause lyrics. Yup.
It felt like forever since I last wrote in here. Maybe because I've been busy as hell.
I've been filling up dev lead for the API project so that's been keeping me occupied.
I have closed doors lately... well, not necessarily closing doors. Like I've been kinda brave, setting everything straight.
One of my fears is rejection. That's why I find it hard to turn down someone or say what I really want.
But you'll just make it to a point where you can no longer tolerate the fear and just go with it.
So far, I am still relieved and no regrets on what I did. I just wish Samuel and Joseph well.

Anyway, I don't know why but I just can't really blog about something that makes me genuinely happy while I'm in the moment. Maybe because, like I said before, I'm not ready to let that happy feeling out cause I'm afraid I might just jinx it or whatever. Lol

So... nope, I'm not blogging bout it. I am happy. My heart is happy. Blissful. Joy in mah heart. Genuine happiness. Call it whatever you want lol
I don't know what's up with me but I feel so carefree like I have nothing to worry about.
Thanks to the big guy up there. You really work in mysterious ways.

PS.
I think I blogged about something a month ago. When I was drunk. LOL
That was so lame and was an in the moment, drunk, too emotional state of mind. HAHAHA

9 days off work

This post is so long overdue but whatever
I had a 9 days vacation last week & it felt like a month. So that's what being unemployed feels like. lol
The main reason why I took vacation leaves is that my fave aunt in the universe got married.
Yes, Tita Maan is already married. I'm so happy for her, for them. Truly meant to be.
I'm just gonna do this bullet style cause I suck at paragraphs lol

• So, the first day of vacation, Saturday, Erin and I had our nails done. We went to the mall to buy stuff too then went to Halespot. First time seeing my uncles after 14 freaking years!!! They didn't change much. (Still handsome. Both single btw if any of y'all are interested lol). We went to Willy's for an hour or two then went home.
• Wedding day!!!!!!!! We went to Segara Villas early in the morning to get out hair and makeup done. Yah know, bridesmaid stuff. After that, we took a bunch of photos with the rest of the entourage. I regret not losing weight because I looked like a whale but whatever... I'm not the one getting married. Lol Anyway, the wedding was held at St Therese then the reception was at El Kabayo. It was hella fun cause it was a pretty big family event. Seriously the first wedding that I enjoyed. Maybe because I wasn't just a guest, I was part of the program. I didn't feel bored at all. Or maybe because I am just happy how happy Tita Maan and Tito Mark are. They are the coolest couple ever. Truly meant to be~

• Monday, I didn't do much. I went to see a movie, Passengers. Chris Pratt and J Law was great. It was a nice movie and all. I wanted to go out and get drinks but mah friends are all in Manila. Boooo. Luckily, my aunts and uncles dragged me to Liberty Sports Bar. It was a fun, chill night. I just had two bottles of San Mig Light and a pinipig ice cream. Lol
• Tuesday, aunts and uncles kidnapped me. We went to SM Clark. 7th wheeling like a pro. Yup.
• Wednesday, we went to SM San Fernando. Strolled around. Despedida dinner with the fam. Said goodbyes to Tito Justin and Tito Jermaine. Bittersweet night but always fun with the fam. I hope they can come back home often.

• Thursday, Mini surprise birthday party for Kristine plus tequila night. I got so drunk but it was hella fun. Truth be told, that was the last time I drank alcohol.. as of today.

• Friday, despite the hangover, I watched La la Land and it was awesome. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone truly deserved the awards. The movie was great. So great.
• Saturday, I went back to Manila early cause I don't know. Just felt like it lol

Overall, it was a fun vacation. Very worth it. Family always comes first.

I hope we can all do this again sometime soon this year.

Second day of the year and I'm back at work.
Two days in and not really in the mood lately but this shall pass.

I am very positive for this year. I am claiming it, this year will be better.

I don't even have pictures on my phone from New Year's eve. I felt sick, didn't even have appetite to eat. Bummer, I know. What a way to start this year. So grabbed photos from my sister!
