During our weekly heart-to-heart session last week, merong tanong dun sa couples deck na:
What’s your ideal day pag nag-retire ka na?
So inisip ko yung mga gusto kong gawin pag lola na ko, which is:

Every year, I make a post about the goals I want to achieve for that year (I call it my game plan). Dun ko rin nilalagay yung naging result nung previous game plan ko. But this year, I decided to keep my 2026 goals private until the end of the year. Since there won’t be a game plan post this year, dito ko na lang ilalagay yung naging outcome nung 2025 goals ko:
2025 RESULTS
- Maintain an organized and clean home 😊
- Visit PH again, this time for Mama’s 60th birthday 😊
- Take one or two C level French classes 👎🏼
- Don’t go a 3rd day without working out—or doing yoga at the very least 👎🏼
- No sugar Monday 👎🏼
- Practice having my last meal at 3 or 4PM 😊
- Start building 3 months worth of emergency fund 😊
- Invest more than we did last year 😊
- Find a remote job 👎🏼
Out of the 9 goals I set, I was able to achieve 5. Okay lang naman kung hindi sya ma-achieve lahat, kaso mas satisfying sana kung na-achieve ko yung numbers 4 and 5.
Note dun sa goal #1: Magkakaiba tayo ng standards ng kalinisan. So pag may pumunta sa bahay namin at nadumihan sila, it’s a them problem 😂

Mid-Year Check 2025
Bilis ng panahon. A lot of things happened. Winter turned into spring, tapos ngayon summer na. Met new people, wrote a lot, feelings were felt, tears were shed. There were joys and laughter too—which I badly badly needed. It’s hard to face the second half of the year without feeling a sense of fear. I just really hope our family can take a breather and wala munang mangyari na mabigat.
Each start of the year since 2021, I make a game plan for the upcoming year. I also set a theme. This year’s was:
Make maximum personal impact through simplified effort
This theme’s goal is to prevent myself from being overwhelmed and just gain more clarity. I just want to keep things simple as much as I can. Whether it’s my routine, my clothes, how I eat, or my hobbies. I intend to have more feelings of peace and less anxiety.
So far, the feelings of overwhelm I experienced this year is less than last year, so pakiramdam ko nagagawa ko naman unti-unti.
Now let’s revisit my 2025 goals:
