  • Okay, ang galing. Nanaginip ako kagabi na may nag-subscribe daw sa paid newsletter ko. Pag gising ko kaninang 5:30 AM, naalala ko yung panaginip ko tapos for a second, nalito ako kung panaginip ba yun or totoong nangyare. Na-realize ko rin agad na panaginip lang. Napangiti pa rin ako kase ang ganda nung thought na…

  • It’s been a while! There have been many things to feel unhappy about recently, but there were still moments to be grateful for despite the past heavy months. Drawing our portraits Kenneth and I went to a community market and saw Bea, my illustrator friend, with her sister, also an artist. They were selling art…

  • I am currently relistening to Mark Manson’s ‘backwards law’ podcast episode, and I found myself involuntarily reaching for my copy of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, which my sister gave as a bon voyage gift when we moved to Canada in 2018.

  • I miss hearing Kenneth say, “Wowwww..” everytime nagluluto ako. Medyo nakukulitan pa ko sa kanya dati kasi araw-araw nya kong tinatanong, “Anong pagkain natin?” Pero ngayon, wala nang nagtatanong ng ganun. Nami-miss ko yung dependency nya sakin pagdating sa food. Yung dating annoying, hinahanap-hanap ko na ngayon. Ugh life.

  • SATURDAY 5:30 AM Nagising, nag-poop, nagtimbang. Nag-gain nanaman ako. And for the first time ever, mas magaan na sakin si Kenneth. Almost 10kg na kasi yung na-lose nya ever since nagstart syang mag-keto diet at mag-workout almost everyday. Ugghh hindi ko kaya yung discipline nya. Minsan nakaka-inspire pero minsan nakaka-demotivate. But ultimately, I’m proud of…

  • After a couple of months, ngayon ko lang na-process yung reaction ng tito at tita ko nung sinabi kong nas-stress ako sa paglipat namin sa Calgary. It stuck with me kasi na-wirdohan ako sa reaction nila. Para kasi silang nagulat (with a mix of derision) nung sinabi ko na nakaka-stress yung paglipat—na parang unheard of…
