Gleniz da MenaceSa wakas, spring na talaga! Nagsisimula nang magka-dahon ang mga puno. From tuyong damo na kulay yellowish brown, green na sila ngayon! Ang sarap makakita ng maraming green sa labas. Hindi na frozen yung pond malapit sa bahay kaya ang dami na ulit ducks na nakatambay. Milder na rin ang weather kaya nakapag-walking na ako finally. Pero April recap nga pala ‘to. Ang April ay malamig pa rin at may pabugso-bugsong snow. Buti tapos na sya. Mas excited ako ngayong May.

Ang proud ko dito sa Costco snack purchase ko kasi 120 calories lang per 25 pieces. Kaso pag-bukas ko, sobrang liliit pala. I could probably snack 50 pieces in one go super easily. Pero okay na rin ‘to kaysa dun sa mga recent snacking ko ng BBQ potato chips and milk chocolate quinoa crisps. I’m all for healthier options.
Since mahilig ako sa sweet and salty situation, I paired the veggie crackers with my favourite dark chocolate bites. Na-satisfy naman ako sa snack ko bago ko kainin yung last meal of the day ko at 2:30PM—garlic shrimp and farro bowls with cannellini beans, feta, and spinach from HelloFresh. Proud nanaman ako kasi nasunod ko yung unintentional healthy theme for the day.

Wala at the moment. Pero yung medyo recent, drop dead ni Olivia Rodrigo. Ilang beses ko kasing pinaulit-ulit kaya naumay ako agad.
Yes.
Processed cheese. Eden!

During our weekly couples heart-to-heart, at the end of each session, we say things we are grateful for. Since hindi kami nagdadasal, ito yung version namin ng being thankful for our blessings. Nung shinare ko yung sakin, naiyak ako. Kasi sobrang saya lang.

Spoiler alert: Q1 2026 was one of the best quarters we’ve had in a looooong time (in terms of expenses). Every time ina-update ko yung expense tracker namin at the end of each month, ang lagi kong reaction is, “Kayang-kaya naman pala!”
Let’s start with the percentages, then we’ll get into the detailed breakdown of the numbers shortly.
Kain na kain ng mortgage and bills yung income namin. Pero wala kaming magagawa kasi fixed expenses na yan. Hopefully, soon, in time, kung kelan man yun, in the near future, sana, makahanap na ko ng trabahoww 😅
Again, I’ve highlighted the highest and lowest expense for each month:

I don’t normally pay attention to Coachella (unless kasama sa lineup si Billie Eilish) pero nung nalaman kong may free live streaming pala sa YT, pinanood ko yung kay Justin Bieber. Sayang, late ko na nalaman kasi gusto ko rin sanang mapanood yung sa KATSEYE. Anyway, ang gusto ko lang i-highlight from JB’s performance ay nung kinanta nya yung Everything Hallelujah. First time kong mapakinggan yung song na yun and naiyak ako. It’s the way he sung it and how soulful it was—plus gospel vibes pa sya kaya parang may feelings of emotional release. And of course the lyrics!
Go outside, hallelujah
It’s beautiful, hallelujah
It’s rainin’ hallelujah
Breathe the air, hallelujah
I’m singin’ like hallelujah
Dancin’ like hallelujah
Everything, hallelujah
Everything, hallelujah
Everything, hallelujah
It’s a song about being grateful for the little things and I love it 🤍

FINALLYYYY! I finished my first book of 2026! I just finished reading Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel. Pero hindi ako ganun ka-happy kasi 3.5 stars lang sya for me. Since hindi ako magaling mag-review ng books, hindi ko ma-eexplain kung bakit ganun ang rating ko. Basta based from my reading experience, the insights, and the lingering impression after finishing the book, it feels like a 3.5 🌟
Romantics value intensity over stability. Realists value security over passion. But both are often disappointed, for few people can live happily at either extreme.

Tingnan mo, wala akong kaalam-alam, papunta na pala ulit ang mga tao sa moon! Lumalabas sa feed ko yung new pictures ng Earth from space galing daw sa Artemis II, pero wala akong idea na moon mission pala yun. Kala ko basta spacecraft lang na nagte-take ng photos. May tao palang nakasakay. Nag-start daw yung voyage nung April 1, at kung nakita ko man yun that day, iisipin kong April Fool’s joke lang at hindi ako maniniwala.
