My Obligatory Year-End Essay for 2019 & Resolutions
As I sip my jumbo Thai Milk Tea from Cha Tu Chak on my bed (yes I literally work on my bed haha), I was contemplating whether or not I should start working on my ideas for 2019 or just continue reading My Hero Academia manga. I am always that lax blogger who writes when she feels like it and can only write when it’s interesting to her. Wow, referring my self as a 3rd person. Narcissist much? HAHA. Now where was I? Ah.. the year-end essay that most folks on social media, post. I prefer to write it on my blog for easier tracking. My Obligatory Year-End Essay 2011-2012 was my impulsive learning stage 2013-2015 was my quarter-life rebellious state 2016…
I Lalamoved Myself to Survive Holiday Traffic | A CHRISTMAS STORY
This is an example of what usually happens when I’m manic. I have a story to tell and goes over and over my head like sheep. So here I am awake at 4am in the morning, ready to tell you the story of how I had myself delivered via LALAMOVE to Survive Holiday Traffic. Yes you read that right. And like all stories we’re going to start from the beginning (of the day). You know it’s traffic. Why are you in Manila that day? I made a commitment. I agreed going to 2 events that day, both unsponsored. The first one was Cadbury’s GenerosiTREE, a launch of their campaign at SM MOA were you get…

On Wearing Stylish Bras, Panties, and Consent
I was planning to write a basic article on how we can wear bras as outerwear then my emotions got the best of me. Wearing something sexy whether a bra or a thong is NOT consent. Lingerie. Bras. These garments are known for being worn inside than out. Thus the other term under wear. I shared on an Instagram post the other day that years ago, there would be guidelines on “how to take classy lingerie photos” that we’ll follow to a T. Showing “undergarments” was deemed taboo. Thanks to modern times and feminism, women are now slowly coming out of their shells. Realising we are more than just an accessory. Regardless of how a…
Being Bipolar: Spiraling to Depression Once Again
When I was a kid.. I always said goodnight to my lolo and lola.. before going to bed.. I will say “Good Na!” Naalala ko lang ulit ngayon.. I’m feeling depressed when I realized I can call them via FB.. so I did.. no regrets.. buti na lang lolo was able to answer the call.. I noticed he’s still online kasi he was liking my new uploads. I’m still depressed. Pero somehow getting to talk to my lolo and lola.. still comforts me. Just like how they did when I was younger… I’m scared. They’re getting old and I’m scared of losing them. I still cant sleep. I’m still…
Intimacy Issues: On Fears and Fallbacks
Have you ever been so traumatized from a relationship, that there’s always this lingering fear of abandonment. I’m writing my feelings away as of this moment. I’m enveloped with so much sadness for no reason. Maybe there is. Maybe it won’t go away. In my 15+ years of experience on dating and relationships (naks! do mistakes count?), there’s always a lesson to be learned on each one. But does every disappointment make us stronger, or weaker? Most people would probably answer the former. I’m going to open up a bit to anyone who’s reading this post right now. There are days when I feel I don’t deserve to be loved. Or when I…

Gifts should be given not just on special ocassions! The best gifts are received when you least expect it. Well, this wish list is meant for me. I mean, how the hell can I recommend or make gift suggestions if I don’t know the person di ba? That’s why for everyone else, I just give them boring gifts like post-its, face towels, or bath soaps.

MACHO KID’S OBSESSION WITH PEPPER LUNCH | and how we spent “Fathers Day”
“Mommy can we please eat at Pepper Lunch?” This is the usual line of macho kid whenever we’re in a mall and I ask him what he wants to eat. No guys this isn’t sponsored. But how I wish it was! Because I can’t count how many times we’ve had our meals there. It’s not the most affordable fast food *sigh* but my son finishes the whole jumbo plate and he’s a picky eater! We don’t celebrate Mothers day or Fathers day or any other day that much because everyday is special for us 🙂 But it just so happened that it was Sunday and after going to church we decided to go to SM and…
