Wow! The past one and a half years have been so fast! I believe this current season I am in is when I have grown so much. From being engaged, to building our home, and now getting married in a few days! There are a lot of excitement, but also a lot of headaches. 😅…
Life Lately
A year and a half passed me by without any write ups. And while I missed putting my thoughts out here, I actually enjoyed my hiatus. I think I was able to rest my mind, and get the peace I’ve been longing to have for quite a while now without any pressure to “accomplish” something….
Summing up 2019
I want to write something for my year-end blog post, similar to previous years, because I want it to be a tradition. But I can’t seem to find my drive to craft a good year-ender entry. And me thinking so hard how to sum up my 2019, and not knowing what to write, is really…
Nothing
Sometimes you will have those days when you will not be certain with what you feel. You are not necessarily sad, happy, mad, tired or whatnot. Sometimes, there’s just no exact term to describe how you feel. I can’t say I woke up today with the same level of energy I usually have even if…
I’m at my heaviest
And to be honest, I am not bothered. 🙂 Roughly two months ago, Pablo and I decided to get a gym membership. And ever since our enrollment, we’ve been fairly consistent with working out for four to five days per week (except for my one week hiatus due to work commitment during the first week…
Grieving yet fighting
There will be days when you will feel okay, ready to face the world like nothing happened. But there will be days also when emptiness will still be felt; days when pain will be more apparent. Grief is a terrible feeling. It has random triggers, and every trigger will give you different levels of pain…
Rainy weather thoughts
I am not a big fan of rain. The gloomy weather invites gloomy thoughts and unreasonable sadness. Aside from the sluggishness that comes with it, the rain gives me all the reasons to disregard all the will power I am left with. Don’t get me wrong. I am still thankful for the rain, especially that…
Make-up Haul
If you read my post about the running challenge that Pablo and I had earlier this year, you would know that I will be gifted with make-up as my reward if I will be able to run 5k continuously, without any walking break or whatsoever. And because this girl is decided to have her make-up,…
Scarred and Scared
Your 20s is the time when you feel so healthy and alive. You do not feel that you are vulnerable to any disease even though you binge on junk food, sleep late, sleep less, do lots of things without getting proper rest, and the list could go on and on and on. Put simply, it…
Tahanan Bistro
Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought it is timely to share the best date experience Pablo and I had experienced by far. If you are still scouting for a place for a romantic date or an intimate gathering, we have a great suggestion. I will try to bring you with us…
Running Challenge
Just this morning, while doing some stretching exercises before our Saturday morning run, Pablo posed a very enticing workout challenge. (Enticing because I know I can beat him to it. *fingers crossed*). 😂 Going back to the challenge… Since we’ve been regularly (well sort of regular, I believe) running 5k every Saturday, he tested me…
New Year’s Resolutions
This is the time of the year when many of us will come up with our year-end essays and long list of resolutions for the coming year. 😂 Others may think that doing so is overrated, well kanya kanyang trip lang ‘yan. Let them express or write anything they want. You, on the other hand,…
