December 2025 Blog

 Hi kids, future dad of my kids, or whoever is snooping rn 

Hello and welcome to my last blog of 2025! Can’t believe we’re already here and I’m finally all caught up with all the backlogs (boredom really did its thing). That awkward time between Christmas and New Year is always a blur. All I remember is a lot of bed-rotting and absolutely no sense of time.

 The next blog will be about our 2025 wrapped; it's going to be lengthy, so that's fun.

The first week, I met with my bestie Gail and Stevie at Estancia Mall. We had dinner at Yabu and we gave their unplug game a try to get some free ice cream. Basically, all you had to do was put your phones inside the box and be offline all throughout your stay. We were determined ofc so we were rewarded hehe

On the second week, my group of friends and I had our Christmas party. We all wore red and exchanged gifts. I commissioned Gail to bake some cookies for some Christmas treats. 

We had steak, salad, chicken wings, and a few alcoholic beverages. We even played Do or Drink, and honestly, it’s been a while since I last survived a full-on drinking session. STILL GOT IT!

 

The next day... Katinko was my best friend.

We also celebrated my brother's birthday. We missed you so much, Willie boy, if you were still here, you would've loved Sabrina Carpenter and her kapokpokan!!

On the 20th, I celebrated my birthday with my family and friends at Jollibee.

Before the chaos, I made sure to have my moment, so I went to BGC and welcomed it at midnight. 

I wrote a complete blog about it, click here to read the rest.

On the 22nd, my cousins and I did a quick Landers run to buy some stuff for Christmas. We ate at Goto Believe, then later met up with their cousins for some tita-and-tito time at Mary Grace. 

On Christmas, I joined my sister and her family to celebrate. To be honest, it wasn’t as merry as I had hoped because of some family matters, but it was okay. We managed. I will surely tell you guys, but I don't think it's the right time. Let's just say my mental health is once again being tested lolol so don't be surprised if you see me in a mental facility. 

anyway, I think I look cute in this fit!

the only thing I got myself this Christmas.

 I remember during the hype of JJK, this cost more; now I got it for around 700 only. NOT BAD!

Onto the Netflix department

I started watching this anime called The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity out of pure boredom, and maybe because I forgot just how amazing anime can be. Okay fine, I just needed to feel some kilig lol. I really do love a good romance shoujo!!! 

Next up is Season 5 of Emily in Paris. I’m still watching as I type this, but damn Emily is such a lucky, busy girl. I tried learning French for over two months… turns out the only French I can do is a French kiss hehehehe

Top Songs for this Month

1.) Good Goodbye - Hwasa (not all goodbyes are sad, sometimes we just learn to live with them, gracefufly)

2.) Let Alone The One You Love - Olivia Dean (if Olivia herself can crash out , then so can I!)

3.) Such A Funny Way - Sabrina Carpenter (she finally released this song on all streaming platforms!! It’s giving marupok vibes but just so you know, it really does happen IRL

4.) Not Cute Anymore - ILLIT (This song is so fitting for my big 31, but the LSS factor? Absolute SLAP!)

5.) Shine Myself - JM Jin (they say this one is AI but who cares, I love this song and I just accidentally discovered this one while doing some Christmas shopping.)

December is probably my fave month, obvi coz my bday and Christmas but it can also be the most stressful and busiest month out of all. It's a love-hate relationship! I wonder how it feels to have your birthday in other months. Don't get me wrong, I do love Christmas, but it overshadows my day. It's petty, but you'll never understand unless you're a December baby too. FIGHT ME!!!!!

I have a lot of sentiments about that, but I'm going to keep it short.

anywayyyy

that's it for today

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, guys!

I hope we will all get the happiness that we truly deserve. 

and for life to be a little kind to us all. 

 

See you next year, yeah?

xoxo
