March 2026 Blog

 Hi kids! It's yer MOOOOOM!!!

March started out great!

 Went on a run with the rest of the squad. It's my first run of the year after months of dealing with grief, new work, and just... life. 

I did a 5k, and it was surprisingly a PR lol. Maybe it was just the adrenaline, but I did enjoy and miss it. I'm a steady 8-9, but I was pacing a 7 that day! Dude, I was on a roll!!!

I just love how everyone is so down to be active. I do enjoy running solo, but running with friends is not so bad. 

Cheers to being active and looking after ourselves!

On the second week, I went on a solo run. I did 10k this time, and THAT FELT NICEUUUU! But since I have not been running, I was a bit surprised by the distance, and it was also a good reminder of what my body can do. 10K pa din yon hoyyy!!

On a random weekday, my girlies and I went to the cinemas to watch a movie called "A Special Memory." Obviously, our last movie date left us feeling so bitin. You will never go wrong with a Bela Padilla movie. istg every film she starred in will give you depression. We were all HIGHKEY bawling our eyes out! I was trying to cover my sobs with subtle coughing lolol We all left the cinema with swollen eyes! 1000000/100 would recommend!

We stayed at Sweet Recipe to debrief. 

Their matcha is so matamis maygahd. :(

On the 3rd week, we were back playing badminton GHORL WHO ARE YOUUU??

YES WE'RE BACK ON PLAAYINGGG! It was really tiring but fun. Again, NO MEN IN SIGHT. 

What a lovely day that was. I don't need to win the game; just not having to deal with men is already a win. 

And as if we weren't being active enough, we joined a fun run - Gcash Run. This was actually unplanned! My cousin signed up but had other priorities, so he asked me to run on his behalf lol It was only 5K, so it worked in my favor! Also, my friends had long signed up for this run, so definitely not missing this one. 

Alsoooooo, another one - it's my first run using my dream shoes , Adidas Adizero Evo SL!!I have been meaning to buy this since last year but I gave myself some more time coz I already have 2 running shoes on rotation but daaaamn it's been a year and I still want it and so I finally bought it! 

That 5K run felt so easy, was it the shoes?adrenaline? I don't know, but I'm just happy!

Full blog soon!

Look at us sooo cute!

A much-deserved matcha treat post-run!

We went to Matcha Bar and 

OH MY GOD. THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST AUTHENTIC MATCHA I'VE HAD IN A WHILE. 

They even give you the chance to pour the matcha by yourself. 

I'm soo kilig!

March is also the month I flew to Bohol. This time I'm staying for a whole month, and it's probably the longest time I've been away from home. I flew SOLO, so that's a first for me. It's a bit nerve-wracking doing things by yourself when traveling, but I live for the thrill of it. I'm just going to be side-questing through life fr. 

Who knows, kids? Maybe your dad is not in MNL, maybe they're Boholano pala??

Also, missed my friend, Mina! The OG Boholana, and my forever trauma-bonded chingu lol. We spent a few days in Panglao before going to their province in Guindulman. It's my second time here, and I'm just soo excited to be back. 

We stayed at Harmony Hotel while in Panglao. 

It's just gonna get busy from here on out. I like the province life so far, though. The stillness and the peaceful atmosphere city life could never ever give me. 

I'm seriously thinking of relocating. 

Full Bohol blog soon! I will make a separate blog post it deserves! 

Probably once I'm home, so expect it to be lengthy af. 

Apparently, this trip is a much-needed one, kids, your chances of being out in the world have once again decreased lol I'm sorry. Your mom is doing such a great job finding your dad. Like, I'm legit putting in the effort. But man ... I'm lost for words. 

Spent weeks just trying to make myself feel okay. (still not ok)

WHERE TF IS YOUR DAD KASE??

Onto my Netflix department

I watched the recent season of Bridgerton. It easily became my 2nd top fave season, 1 being the first. 

I love Sophie soo much! And have you seen their interviews? It was so funny! They got along so well. Yerin's laugh is soo contagious! 

We also have "Queen Charlotte" my sister has been pestering me to watch it and I understand why, coz it's hella worth the hype. I loved the story and it gave me a better understanding of Bridgerton. 

I've started watching "Love Life" starring Anne Kendrick - I have to be honest, I just randomly clicked on it while I was doing my laundry. Will I continue to watch it? Let's see. 

Top Songs From This Month

1.)  From The Dining Table - Harry Styles (crashout song)

2.) Two Ghosts - Harry Styles (another crashout song coz y not)

3.) I Thought I Saw Your Face Today - She & Him (been hearing this on ig reels recently, LSS!)

4.) Risk It All - Bruno Mars (the shit Bruno be releasing when im out here brokenhearted)

5.)  How I Get - Laufey (my TOP crashout song for March, cant remember how many times I cried just listening to this. Laufey u make me so sad)

I’ve been in Bohol for two weeks now, with one more week here and another in Cebu.

 I miss my family and friends, but strangely, I don't miss home. I love the freedom this trip gives me. I'm away, untouched, out of reach, and somehow it's liberating and exciting. This is the escape that I've been longing to have. Just thinking about going back to Manila makes me sad already. 

I'll see you on my next blog!

Bye kids!

xoxo
