Walnut’s okay!

Walnut’s health scare is over! Feeling ko hindi naman talaga sya na-poison nung lily kasi naisuka nya naman agad, pero sabi pa rin nung vet, kelangan syang i-monitor for 72 hours to make sure hindi tinamaan yung kidney. Thankfully, normal yung apat nyang blood tests and she’s in the clear. Ang nakakaasar lang ay yung pilay nya caused by the nurses nung tina-try nilang i-restrain si Walnut para kunan ng dugo. Ka-badtrip. Accountable naman sila ang they will cover all expenses related to her limp (dapat lang!), pero nakakainis pa din. I think nag-iimprove naman yung pilay nya and aside from that, she’s healthy and well and back to her old self.

Why I Like to Write

Among the many reasons why I like to write, I think one of them is the desire to be understood. As someone with a resting bothered face, I’ve been misunderstood countless times. Sobrang puzzled ko pag sinasabihan ako ng mga tao—including my relatives, my own mother even—“Bakit ka nakasimangot?” “Itsura mo para kang galit.” When in reality, I’m not mad whatsoever. I’m just existing. I am neutral. I’m a hundred percent sure that my facial muscles are completely relaxed. But to them, I seem to be exuding some kind of negative aura. Nung highschool days napapaaway pa ko. Ang sama ko raw makatingin.

6:00 AM

Woke up, shat, wrote on my digital journal about yesterday’s happenings, read a newsletter, saw vomit (probably Walnut’s) and cleaned that up, fed the kitties, and scooped their litter. This is my morning routine nowadays.

8:00 AM

I decided I’ll have the pork ribs from Costco. I can air-fry them from frozen, so it’s a quick prep. I still have some roasted veggies from yesterday that I can pair it with. Kaso ang dry. Wala akong sauce or dip. So I asked ChatGPT for suggestions and settled on an easy sauce using ingredients I already have: garlic butter soy sauce. I can pour it over the crispy ribs to give them a little bit of moisture.

I’m half-listening to Trevor Noah’s podcast while making the sauce. I think they’re talking about the loneliness epidemic.

9:00 AM

K lang.

2025 Game Plan

Another year, another game plan. I’m so happy I don’t feel rushed to finish this post. I think dati meron akong nafi-feel na, “Dapat ma-finalize ko na ‘to bago matapos ang January.” But not this year. Bago ako pumunta sa theme at sa mga gusto kong ma-achieve this year, I will check first kung anong success rate ng 2024 game plan ko…

Okay, out of the 12 goals I set, I was able to achieve 7! I’m not aiming for perfect. Basta more than half okay na ko dun.

January Recap

It’s officially winter. Tuloy tuloy na ang snow, dire-diretso na ang -20°C plus weather, at sobrang dry na ng muka ko kahit tinatadtad ko na ng moisturizer. Sobrang nakakatamad lumabas. January wasn’t that bad though. Naiisipan pa naming pumunta kung saan-saan. Ganado pa si Kenneth mag-drive. Pero ngayon, gusto ko na lang matapos ang winter. Miss ko nang maglakad at makakita ng madaming green.

Today, I decided to round up all the posts I published last year—plus books I’ve read and my favorite podcast episodes. Since I love categorizing things, that’s exactly what I did here. To everyone who took the time to read some or all of my writing, thank you! I deeply appreciate your comments and DMs whenever I put my thoughts and ideas out there. I’ve also marked the paid ones with an asterisk. With all my gratitude, thank you to the paid subscribers. I’m extremely grateful for your support, and I’m curious to know what you think of what I’ve put out so far. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message!

Displaying this Janice Sung print in the kitchen, where people can actually see it. Nasa kwarto lang kasi namin ‘to dati. This was the first thing I hung on our wall and I really love it. Also received some compliments about it which confirmed it was a good decision.

Holiday Season 2024

Christmas Eve

Simula nung nag-move kami sa Canada, parang Dec 24 talaga yung Christmas day. Kasi ito yung day na may handaan at games. Samin kasi noon Dec 25 mismo may pakana. After 6 Christmases in Winnipeg, we celebrated this year’s Christmas in a different city with different people. Actually wala kaming planong mag-celebrate kasi sobrang preoccupied pa rin namin sa pag-move. Kung wala pang nag-invite samin, baka nag-takeout lang kami ng pagkain at nanood ng The Voice Season 26. Masaya na kami nun. Pero since naka-receive kami ng invitation from Kenneth’s former dorm mate, mas okay yun kasi makakakain kami ng mas masarap na food hehe.
