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.


Despite the tumultuous beginning, March turned out to be a fun, social month. I enjoyed March. We tried new food spots, had a movie date with friends (we watched Wuthering Heights), and leaned heavily on food deliveries. So, expectedly, it was also the most expensive month thus far huhu. Bawi na lang ngayong April.

Nagiging pihikan nanaman yung mga pusa namin at bigla na lang hindi kinakain yung wet food nila. After doing some tweaks, iba yung saya pag nakikita kong kumakain na sila ulit. Every time nakikita kong ubos yung food bowl nila, ang satisfying.
Tapos kahapon, bumili ako ng bagong cat toy nila. Sa kanilang tatlo, si Almond lang yung masipag maglaro (kung sino pa yung may hika). Nagwo-worry ako dun sa dalwa kasi wala sila masyadong physical activity. Kaya nung nilalaro nilang tatlo yung bagong cat toy, sobrang saya namin. I really wish them a happy and long life please!
