No Comments on Missing My Tall Little Sister

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.

My sister filled this book with pictures of us, photos of our favorite movie/tv characters, inside jokes, and sweet messages. I haven’t finished this book yet, which means I haven’t read everything she had written down, and I love that there are still sweet notes to uncover after 6 years.

Food

Home Chef No More

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.

1.

I have found my people! I am so happy that my choices led me to finding them. I invited my online-to-real friend, Xiao, for brunch to thank her for helping me with Almond’s trip to Canada. Tapos sakto, merong stamp caravan event sa favorite stationery store ko (26 Market)—na malapit lang dun sa brunch place. We went to the stationery store after eating. There, I met a few fellow journalers. One thing led to another, and I got invited to join their bi-weekly planner hangout.

Ramblings #40

Two weeks na ko sa Pinas at parang ang dami na agad nangyare. Na-o-overwhelm na ko sa mga ido-document ko. Anyway, everytime umuuwi ako ng Pilipinas, meron akong mga listahan ng mga gusto kong kainan. Isa dun ay KFC. Kaso sobrang na-disappoint ako:

Happy Things #21

Since medyo malungkot ang previous post ko, it’s time for my recent happy things!

Byeeee!

Last day ko na bukas!! As much as I love this job, I’m not sad about getting a nice long break from sitting and typing all day. Nung nagpaalam ako sa boss ko na mawawala ako ng almost 2 months (pero binanggit ko rin na willing akong bumalik after that period), ang dali nyang kausap! That same day, nagkaron agad ng arrangement na last day ko sa January 31st (bukas), pero pababalikin nila ko sa April. Favorite na kita TL!

My current job is seasonal/contractual kaya may ganitong hanash.
