 Welcome to the last day of our challenge!

To be honest with you, those 30 days were a little tough. Had a hard time keeping up because it felt more of a chore than something I'd enjoy but look at us now! Can't believe we've garnered over 3,000+ views throughout the month because of this and I personally want to thank each one of you, silent readers or avid ones, or some stranger who accidentally clicked on this blog and stayed.


It's been the most personal, thrilling, and fun 30 days with you. Some days were just meh or boring, so I tried mixing it up, some were very personal while others made me emotional. It's a lot! Regardless, I loved every bit of it. I got to explore and know myself more. 

But will I do it again?

Of course.

But not now lol coz I got to rest!


So what's making me excited?

Future.

Which is both fun and scary at the same time.

 Short trips lined up. 

Concerts.

Basically just being present in the moment. 

Coz you know... That's kind of my life now. 

Who knows, some miracle happens and I score myself a man. 

I might get myself pregnant??

Or adopt a kid

be a homemaker instead of a career woman. 

A lot of things can happen, that's why the future is scary. It's uncertain.


I always look forward to what's next for someone like me. 

Whether be it for the better or for the worse, I hope life will still treat me kindly. Keeping my family safe and healthy is all I ask. 


Well time to wrap up this series, we will now be back to our usual programming schedule which includes me going through the backlogs and publishing overdue blogs. ya know the ushhhh


Til our next challenge!!! thanks so much for reading every single one of them.

 Welcome to Day 29!

Thanks to Facebook, we can always look back on our memories. 

If I'm not mistaken, I was still unemployed back then, so the night of my 21st, my college buddy and close friend, Ghielina, took me out for dinner at BGC. I think it was at Cabalen. 

Who would have thought that I'd actually moved here after a couple of years? 



 and I remember some of my college friends started their work while I was being left behind. It took me almost a year before I got my first job so I was feeling the pressure not just from my peers but also from my parents. 

so even back then, I was already feeling birthday blues...

look I even archived this post



well

at least my eyeliner is on-fleek  


and I still have Haru with me!. He is no longer with us rn but he was my baby. 





my life back then was simple. Despite the constant pressure for my pending career, everything is still fine. Compared to what I have right now. Honestly, life has been throwing rocks my way. It's just problem after problem. Obligations and responsibilities. I miss being 21. The worst problem I had was what company would hire me. Sure I had it tough back then, 

However, despite the rough life I'm living right now, I'd say I'm still grateful, I'm working in the comforts of my home. No one to please. No traffic to endure. I get paid 3x of what I used to earn on my first job. 
In some ways, it's comforting to know that I still have come a long way. May it be better or worse. 

I just want to tell the 21-year-old me. We "somehow" made it and tapped her on the shoulders. 

Everything gets better in time.

 Hi and welcome to Day 27, I was supposed to talk about what I wore today but that is boring. I could end this in one sentence so instead I wanna talk about the top celebrities I'm currently crushing on.



1.) Jim Parsons - before you call me out on this, YES I know he is gay and happily married but please... let this woman dream lol. This is not surprising to some of you avid readers, granted my TBBT obsession. I'm weirdly attracted to him and the way he brought Sheldon's character to life. His acting is just impeccable. Not to mention he is aging like a fine wine. Eto talaga yung masasabihan ko ng "Jim, kahit isang gabi lang" whahahahahaha! anywayyy, I'm just so excited to see him and Mayim back on screen for Young Sheldon's finale episode!!!! 





2.) Cillian Murphy - yesss, my Irish dzaddeh who recently won his 1st Oscar. I haven't seen Oppenheimer tbh, I just knew him from Peaky Blinders and got addicted. Even though, I find it hard to understand coz of the thick fooking accent lol half of the time I'm just focused on the sub but the part he played there was phenomenal!! His acting, his deep voice and his love for ehem GRACE. yes, his love interest is also named Grace, so just imagine my kilig every fucking time he called her. lolol


3.) Ian Somerhalder - I swear this guy has the sexiest smirk. Back when TVD is at its peak. Damon Salvatore was like a piece of meat everybody wanted to get a taste of I'm no different. I was just in high school when it first aired and had to buy the DVD in Quiapo pa just so I could watch. My classmate gifted me a Candy magazine with him on the cover and I was just over the moon! I'd die to get stared at by those piercing blue eyes. 


4.) Paul Wesley - Of course! If Elena Gilbert had the hardest time of her life choosing between these two, so am I. When I started watching TVD, I was on Team Stefan, He's this gentleman and overprotective boyfriend type and ughhh Elena, u lucky b!! 



5.) Harry Styles - yes, it's 2024 and I'm still crushing the former 1D member! His humor, his hair, the accent, and his voice when he sings - I'm in love. I liked him when he was in a band but I like him even more now and it sucks that I wasn't able to watch his concert. YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE GRASYA but u blew it. 



Some more because 5 isn't enough!
6.) Joseph Morgan 

7.) Evan Peters

8.) Dylan O'Brien

9.) Eddie Redmayne

10.) Leo Woodall



That's all for today. 
Apologies for the unnecessary thirstiness of your helpless and hopeless aunt. 

Bye

 My friends and I booked a room at Azure for a night for a quick breather. 

So after clocking out from work on a Saturday morning, I took a quick nap to have some energy for the rest of the day. Met up with the rest of the gang at SM Bicutan, just in time for check-in. 


Once we were all settled, we decided to go all the way to Binondo to eat lunch. YES. ALL THE WAY FROM PARANAQUE lol


HERE'S HOW IT WENT DOWN!!!



Back in Azure around 7pm.


I'd hate not sharing these photos. 




The night was still young so we all decided to go up to the viewing deck for some fresh air

The view is beautiful and it was chilly.

Once we got back to our unit, we all washed up and brought out our color-coordinated snacks lol

Zap was black, Mina was orange, Don was purple and I chose pink. 

Drank a few sips of Moscato and spent the rest of the night watching "Scream". 


The next morning, we ate whatever was left from last night and we all dolled up to do a mini-shoot near the pool area. 

No, we didn't swim literally went there just for the gram lol I actually enjoyed it more than taking a dip in the overcrowded pool. We were all just not feeling it. 

Something about palm and pine trees calms the f out of me. Plus, they look so damn good in photos. TELL ME I'M WRONG. 

Went back to the unit and packed our stuff. 


all set for the checkout. 


It's been a productive weekend!

Thank you so much, guys!

 Welcome to Day 26! Today's topic is a bit controversial and I'm here for it!

--------------------------------------------------------------


Dear EX, 

YOU SON OF A BITCH. How dare you break my heart?! @$^#^$@$!#!



 

 The End. 

--------------------------------------------------------------


well that was mean... alright here it goes..

*EHEM EHEM*


Dear EX,

I'm not here to say I don't hate you anymore because there will always be a little bitterness in my heart no matter how long ago it was. The fact that you of all people should understand my pain and yet had the audacity to do the very same thing was shitty. You know how hard it was for me to trust anyone let alone love again, but there you were. Proving that loving was just a waste of time. It's unfair that you get to have the love that you so much wanted while I was neglected of it. 


I've moved past it now. So that's something. I no longer cry and just imagining how we used to back then just makes me cringe. Man, I'm soo glad I'm over it. I hope that when you look back one day, you'll feel waves of regret for being such an asshole to me. 


Ps. there's a place in hell specifically for cheaters.

 Binondo has been quite the talk of the town recently. Food vloggers frequented this place a lot just to try the food. When me and my friends got there, there were lines of lines of people everywhere. 

Since we were all so hungry, we didn't bother lining up at famous restaurants and opted for the available ones. I wanna try the dim sum, fried siopao, and tanghulu pa naman :( but no, every stall there was packed with people. So much so that it was causing traffic. 










Don recommended the " President", at first glance looked like a syndicate's shell. Actually, this restaurant has been around for a long time and has made a reputation for its brand. If you notice, they also have some stalls at food courts. They are THAT popular. 

 When we came in, the few people dining there were mostly elderly and I even saw someone counting thick 1 thousand peso bills like they were doing some illegal transactions. Bhie baket ganito lol

I'M NOT OVERREACTING.

They almost turned us away saying it was a full house and we all stood there confused because WHERE???

We felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome like every staff there was looking at and us judging. The waiter was intimidating as in super! Like ayaw nya kami pa orderin, I kinda wanna leave at this point but we were already seated. Zap even joked na baka i hostage kami haha

The food we ordered arrived shortly and we ate. Despite the unsettling vibe of the place, the food was good! We had Yang Chao, Chicken, and their Beef Brisket Noodles. 

It was delicious, generous serving, and value for money. All of this for not more than a thousand??! and we didn't finish all of it, we had some takeout. 


My friends and I had been making the best out of that awkward lunch experience. Literal kala mo ma rraid kami anytime! that's when I realized that if a real raid were to happen or if it's some kind of syndicate, there's no chance of us getting out alive lol We're so unserious to the core! Magtatawanan na lang talaga kame!! ðŸ˜­


Although that was one heck of a weird experience, it was still a fun one. If you come to Binondo and want to have a formal Chinese cuisine, you can't go wrong with the President.  


We strolled around and got milk/fruit teas and bought the sisiw hair clips lol

Don enjoying his Pinwheel clip. We just strolled a little more. 




My friend is so yayamanin she bought a new iPhone when we came across a PowerMac store in the middle of Chinatown???? Charot lang!!  She was really supposed to buy a new phone that same day but we never got to go to a PowerMac store since we barely made it for the check-in. Surprisingly enough, we stumbled upon a store in Binondo so she got hers there. 

Just goes to show that if it's really for you, you'll know it. HALA BAKET MAY LIFE LESSON??? LOLOLOL

Chinatown at night hits differently. 






We were all tired so we decided to go back to our unit.



That's all for today! thanks for coming with us

bye mfs
