Hello Panda
Nung nagta-trabaho pa ko sa Maynila, madalas akong mag-bus mula probinsya namin papuntang Makati. At minsan, may makakatabi ako na may naka-ready syang snacks (4 hrs din kasi ang byahe) tapos maiinggit na lang ako habang sarap na sarap sya sa pagkain ng Hello Panda (minsan Chips Ahoy or Oreos). Nakakainis. Bakit nga ba hindi ko naisip mag-baon? Tamang wishful thinking na lang ako na sana alukin nya ko kahit isang Hello Panda lang. Tapos matatawa lang ako dun sa thought kong yun kasi ang unusual naman na gagawin nya yun. Kahit ako hindi ko yun maiisip gawin kasi parang weird.
Sa dinami-raming beses na sumakay ako ng bus, never nangyare na may nag-alok ng pagkain. Kaya nagulat na lang ako nung nasa flight ako papuntang Winnipeg last month. May nakatabi akong babae (feeling ko mas bata sakin) tapos inalok nya ko nung kinakain nyang sweets! Bumalik yung mga bus memories ko at natuwa ako. Ang thoughtful naman nya! Pero tumanggi ako kasi hindi naman ako gutom (kung Hello Panda pa yun).

One thing na tumutulong magpagaan ng araw-araw ko ay PBB. My big winner is Shuvee kaso na-evict na sya huhu. Dalang dala talaga ko sa mga ganaps at parang every episode na lang umiiyak ako. Nagulat rin ako paguwi ko last April kasi hindi ko alam na hooked rin pala yung mga pinsan ko sa PBB. So happy na nagkaron ako ng ka-bonding dito kasi lampake si Kenneth haha.
Skip this grey text if you don’t watch PBB:
Ngayon hindi ko na alam kung sinong duo ang gusto kong maging big winner. Gusto ko si River pero sobrang ayoko kay AZ. Okay naman si Charlie pero ayoko na kay Esnyr. Gusto ko si Will pero ayoko kay Ralph. Dati pareho kong gusto si Mika at Brent pero naayawan ko na si Brent kasi medyo rude sya kay Mika minsan.
Hindi available sa Canada yung mga full episodes ng PBB so umaasa ako sa mabubuting tao sa TikTok na few hours pa lang after the episode airs, uploaded na agad. At hindi sya yung pinaghati-hati sa ilang parts ha, full episodes talaga with decent quality! Thank youuuu!

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.

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.

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 prints and other cutesy artsy stuff. Aside from the prints and stickers, her sister also offers 5-minute live portraits for $5, and that’s what caught my interest. We had our portraits drawn and it was super cute!
The following week while we were doing our couples deck session, we drew a wild card and it prompted us to draw each other’s portraits for only 1 minute!
Haha that was fun.

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.
Ang dami kong blog posts na hindi natutuloy kasi hindi ko sya matapos ng isang upuan, so naiipon at naiipon lang sila sa drafts kasi nawala na yung enthusiasm ko to finish writing them. Pero eto pipilitin kong ituloy kahit antok na ko. Naka 3 hours lang ako ng tulog kagabi huhu.
Last day ko sa work kahapon and it was bittersweet. But it was more sweet than bitter. Bitter kasi wala na ulit akong regular income. Pero sweet kasi miss ko nang magkaron ng more time to do stuff, like writing here. Looking forward akong magbakasyon at ipahinga ang likod, braso, at kamay ko. Eto naman talaga yung dream ko as of now: work ng ilang months, pahinga ng ilang months. Kasi sobrang nakakabitin ang weekend after a 5-day work week. Pahinga muna tayo ngayon.
