yall used to go to war. What happened? Did I miss a memo?

It’s like nobody cares about anything anymore.

I don’t want a man who acts like a girlfriend. I want someone obsessed, who shows up, who makes it known that I’m his. IS THAT SO HAAAAARD????

People are so scared of looking "too eager" that they’d rather play it cool and lose something real than actually put in the effort. Effort is hot. Caring is hot. I don't know what y'all are on right now. Is it in the wind? Who knows.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not out here desperate for love. I’m perfectly fine on my own, enjoying life, sipping my tea, and watching this chaotic dating scene unfold like a bad reality show. But I can’t help but notice how people have made caring look like a weakness. Since when did effort become embarrassing? Since when did showing actual interest become a crime? It’s like everyone is stuck in a never-ending game of who can care less, and frankly, I’m not here for it.

Back in the day, people wrote love letters, made mixtapes, and showed up unannounced with flowers. Now, we’re out here thinking a double-tap on Instagram is a grand romantic gesture. A man will watch every single one of your stories, like your thirst trap, and still act like texting first is some kind of Olympic sport. Make it make sense.

If I'm to fall in love, I want a man who makes it clear that I’m the center of his world. Not in some creepy, suffocating way, but in a way that leaves no room for doubt. A man who actually calls instead of just texting "wyd" for the fifth time in a row like I'm his sidechick. Someone who pays attention to details, who notices when my mood shifts, who prioritizes me without making it feel like a chore. A man who takes charge, who isn’t afraid to express his emotions, who doesn’t act like catching feelings is a weakness.

Because honestly, if I’m into you, I’m into you. I’m not here to play the "who cares less" game. I want passion. I want intensity. I want someone who makes me feel like I’m worth the chase, not some half-hearted, bare-minimum energy that leaves me questioning everything.

and people dare to ask you why and how you are single - THIS IS THE REASON. Men are acting like women in the dating scene. They lack guts and probably use their two balls in a ping pong, coz you don't feel them balls anymore lol

So to all the nonchalant men out there: if you can’t show up, step aside. Because I promise you, someone out there will.

Hi kids, and countrymen,

 Okaaay so I'm drafting this on March 3rd while having peanut butter on wheat bread and my OG green tea — very tita behavior, I know. It's 12:51pm on a Monday, and I'm only having my breakfast. Currently listening to CAS's "Sweet" to set the vibe — because if you're gonna be unproductive, at least do it with a soundtrack.

I have been a slacker these past few weeks, and I swore that I would make up for the lack of updates. But you know what? Life happens, kids. I'm not even gonna sugarcoat it. I feel like a man explaining to his woman why he didn't text back for three days — minus the red flags, of course. Lolol.

But here's how my February went

The first week was spent in La Union with my friends, Yoyo, Sadae, Muy, and Xander. I haven't seen these peeps since my dad's funeral (because apparently, the only time we reunite is during dramatic life events — very Filipino teleserye energy). When I asked them for a quick catch-up over coffee or dinner, they hit me back with, "What if... road trip?" And who am I to say no to that? Thank you, guys, for being amazing! Full blog post to follow — unless I procrastinate again, in which case, see you in December!

On the third week, my coworkers and I had a very overdue gathering. We've been planning on doing this for such a long time. Finally, the stars aligned, and we first had lunch at Tim Ho Wan — which, plot twist, was my first time. It was sooo good! Give me those pork buns and dumplings any day!

We switched to this cafe called Secret Recipe. The overall look of this place screams girly pop! I love it so much! Every corner is so aesthetic af. The ladies and I exchanged some chismis while sipping on our beverages. I got their Rose Margarita btw and look how majestic this looked! 

supprtive friends be like "imma take your photo you pose over there" lol

Working remotely may keep us sort of distant from each other, but it's nice to know that I have found a genuine connection with these people. 

Thanks Ate Judz for the scented candle and Ate Grace for the delicious ube cheese pandesal!

Sa susunod ulit!

I stayed over at my friend's apartment for a week, too, and we would always go out on walks in BGC since she lives near the area where I was hitting my PR! It feels so nice inside, I'm not gonna lie. Walking helps me think straight! 

Some more camera roll dumps

- selfie before taking a walk

- my nephew taking a selfie again in my phone

- random building photo from bgc

- my bestie, Gail sending me revel bars!! ♥

- doing hot girl shit = assembling bars lol

- duolingo asking me if I'm happy (not today haha)

To my Netflix Department

First up is Solo Leveling coz we need to see Sung Jin Woo moving in motion. I have to say he is hotter in manhwa but who am I to complain, lol

that's all for February. For the rest of y'all who celebrated Valentine's, 

advance Happy Mother's Day and Happy Father's Day 

and yes "it" went through.
