Kasama namin yung family ng tito ko from Winnipeg two weeks ago. Meron kasi silang a-attendan na kasal dito sa Canmore and nag-book sila ng Airbnb for 3 nights kasama kami. Tapos may pasalubong sila samin na tatlong crispy pata! Hihi. Na-miss kong makipag-bonding sa kanila and it’s always nice to have family around kahit mabilis lang.

Ganda nung Airbnb na binook nila 🤍

Habang uma-attend sila ng kasal, nagikot lang kami ni Kenneth sa isang malapit na lake. Nagyaya na rin ako agad pabalik ng Airbnb kasi ang lamig. Hindi nakaka-enjoy mag-walking. Buti na lang maganda yung mountains.

The Crave Monsters

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.

Part 1

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.

Q1 Expenses | Relaksss

You have full access to this post because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍

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 😅

EXPENSE BREAKDOWN

Again, I’ve highlighted the highest and lowest expense for each month:

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.

Cat Mom Tings

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!

Thursday Letter #18: The Golden Age of 2000s Rom-Coms

You have full access to this post because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍

Kung nagkaron ako ng Pinoy movies phase last month, ngayon naman nawiwili ako sa mga foreign movies from the 2000s—especially rom-coms. Ito yung mga paborito kong movies in my early 20s. Grabe pa rin yung kilig ko sa Sweet Home Alabama at How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days kahit ilang beses ko na silang napanood. At dun sa mga tender moments, naiiyak pa rin talaga ko. Bakit wala nang ganitong klaseng rom-coms ngayon? Pumunta ko sa Reddit and the people have the same sentiments.

“They don’t make rom-coms like this anymore.”
