It's the time of the year again. Time flies so fast especially when the pandemic came. It's a big adjustment for all of us, but when we think about it, if we look at the bright side of it, there's a good side as well. We just have to look for it, think about it deeply, coz sometimes, we tend to overlook it. We are so busy complaining about the bad effects of pandemic. It's normal, we are only human, it gave us a lot of stress emotionally and mentally. Time flies so fast that…
Wahhh.. Thanks for sponsorship @Bloghound @Codex_04. ❤❤❤
God will wreck your plans. God will wreck your plans when He sees that your plans are about to wreck you. It's my favorite sayings. So powerful and so true isn't it? We all have these plans, hopes, and dreams and sometimes we get disappointed when all of our plans failed. It's really frustrating that no matter how hard you try and put timelines to all of your dreams and goals, they shattered into pieces that you blame yourself for not being enough, for not working hard…
My Mother Mountain Climbing mountain is one of my happiness, it keeps me sane. It's therapeutic, aside from the physical benefits that we can get in hiking, our overall mental health and well-being can benefit as well. Hiking helps me a lot when I'm so burned out in my previous work. I was living being a zombie and robot most of the time when I was working in the corporate world. When I got promoted I was so busy that my social life slowly dying hahaha. Especially if there's…
Practice Makes Improvement. Every pro was once an amateur and let's not underestimate the power of little progress. Someone told me before that I'm a jack of all trades and there's a saying that "a jack of all trade is a master of none", but for me, it's always better than a master of one lol. I have so many things that I want to do, that I want to learn especially when it comes to art. Having some talent in drawing runs in our blood, in my mother's side. My older sister is…

Living without Social Media. Social media used to be a cool place. Before Facebook, there was a Friendster that I loved the most, and it was launched, year 2002. There's also myspace but I personally used Friendster. Uploading photos, sharing posts, giving testimonials to the user, and my favorite part was you can customize the theme, you can put background music in your profile too, and even upload your favorite songs. It's Friendster contents as far as I remember. I was…
What a week. I started my July, full of positivity and enthusiasm. I meditate and pray for peaceful and smooth days coz it's my birth month. I want to start the midyear right. But life is full of surprises, situations that we can't control, and the first 13 days of July is a hell ride for me. This is all about how my day went these past few days, a nonsense post for some, apologies for that, I just want to write all of my emotions, what I've been through and how I cope with…
Okay, let's get back on track and face the reality. I've been in the darkness for almost 3 days now and nothing will change if I don't clear my mind and push myself harder. I can't see the bright side as of this moment but I know I will soon. My mind is telling me never-ending negative ideas and I have to stop it. Our mind is so powerful so better control and choose what words to listen.
Sharing my favorite must-have everytime nagpupunta ko sa Boracay. Been there thrice and hindi talaga ko uuwi ng di ako nakakabili sa Jonah's fruitshake and Snack Bar, haha. Masarap nga combination ng flavors nila. My favorite is the Choco Banana flavor. Must try din yung with Rum nila. And now I'm craving kahit umuulan at malamig 😅😅
Yung natulog ako ng 4am and nagising ng 10:30 dahil nahooked ako kakanood ng Kdrama haha Naglibot ako sa bakuran paggising ko and saw this ant. Nahiya naman ako sa sipag nya. Makapag grind na nga din para sa bills lol 🤣🤣 Gandang araw.
Nakakalungkot ang pandemic, pero sabi nga always look at the bright side. And for me, isa sa pumabor sakin is yung walang tao masyado sa mall. Ever since ayoko makipagsabayan sa dami ng tao sa mall, sa bookstore and even sa mga cinema. Mas preferred ko tlga yung di masyadong matao... Pero syempre, dahil sa nangyari, mas okay pa din ang maraming tao, atleast walang mawawalan ng trabaho, walang magsasarang negosyo.. Sana soon maging covid free na ang bansa 🙏🏻
Pursuit of Self-Improvement. I'm obsessed with bettering myself, wait let me be clear, it's not the bad side of the word obsessed. I had no belief in myself, no sense of self-worth, less self-love before because growing up, I beat myself with other's opinions and standards. I realized my self-worth late, I think I'm already 28 yrs. old when I realized that I have to become a better person not for others but for myself. My positive and negative side of the mind is really…
Saw this vintage car when we went to Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo and naalala ko nung kabataan moments ko, kapag nakakakita nito tas magkakasama kayo ng mga kaibigan mo, babatukan ka ng slight while shouting with peace sign "Pendong peace, kotseng kuba" 🤣🤣 Batang 90's anyone? Haha. While looking at it, ang angas nya pala haha. Classic beauty.
I watched 1st 3 episodes of Kdrama, Memorist and I was hooked already. But have to stop dahil ala una na lol. Need to wake up early coz it's laba day na again. Goodnight..and always remember that you matter in this world. 💤💤
After spending total of 20 minutes looking for a model in our backyard and taking photos of them, I finally got a decent once decent photo 🤣🤣 Capturing ants really need some patience. Happy and blessed Sunday everyone.
Drinking hot riccoa while watching another 1 episode of Memorist. Di pwede mag binge-watch at baka abutin na naman madaling araw 🤣🤣🤣 Gandang gabi.
Ang gulo ng panahon. Uulan tas aaraw, aalisin sinampay tas ibabalik 🤣🤣 sa loob ng bahay na lang ako magsasampay, ako na magaadjust lol. Makulimlim na tanghali sa inyo.
Freshly harvest from our home in Bulacan. Last na daw to sabi ni mother, sinimot na nya, pinamigay yung iba and ito na lang ang naiwan. Cravings satisfied na ko. Lakas ng ulan, ingat kayo.
Sharing this flower that I don't even know the name haha. I saw it in my mom's mini garden and I just fine it pretty because of it's color combination. Photo taken three months ago.
Cold weather woke me up this morning and had to turn off my electric fan. Got an emergency alert message. Sobrang lakas ng ulan. Ingat po tayong lahat. Stay warm. Stay dry.
Sharing the process of my version of Colors of Stobosa in La Trinidad, Benguet, that I painted using gouache. this is the last time (month of May) that I use my gouache coz I'm practicing watercolor after that. I started with sketch so I have an idea with the placement of those houses. The perspective was not perfect coz it's hard esp. the blue building, hahaha and I don't want to stress myself with straight lines lol. I thought the perspective was the most challenging but…
Huminto na ang ulan pero malamig pa din. I love rain as long as nasa bahay lang ako. I also enjoyed working earlier wearing my pajama and hoodie. Habang ok ang ulan sa iba, sa iba naman hindi, dahil kakaharapin na naman nila ang baha, lalo sa mga mababang lugar. Naway wala masyadong mapinsala ang ulan na to, im not updated pa dahil di pa ko nanonood ng balita. Ingat po tayong lahat. Goodnight.
I miss going to Lasema Spa Jjimjilbang. It's an authentic Korean spa/sauna. Been there twice, first was in their old location and the last time was in their new and improved place. Much bigger and they add other room/ services like gym, playroom for kids and Nail Salon area. Wet and dry sauna are the best. They offer massage too. Their rates is kinda pricey for just an overnight stay but it's worth a try especially if you're a Kdrama fanatic ^^ They're open even there's a…
My day is full of distractions. Never-ending household chores, and when I started to focus on my work, tatawagin na naman ako. -_- so magpupuyat ako para gawin dapat matapos na gawain. I got busier than usual because of our stuffs that need to recycle and to dispose, before maglipat bahay. I have to divide my time and parang di natatapos mga gawain. Anyway, graveyard mode on na. Goodnight sa mga matutulog na. Maulan pa din, sana di magloko wifi.
MAKTRAV: Mt. Makiling Traverse Experience Gonna share one of my extreme hiking experience, but gonna use "tag-lish" for this one,dahil sa sobrang unforgettable experience nito eh hindi ko sya maeexpress fully when I use english alone lol. Like my usual way of writing, para lang akong nagkwekwento.. with feelings 😅. I always want to try major hikes even if some of our so-called "minor hikes" eh kasing hirap na ng major ang mga assaults. We even customized our dri-fit for that…
Lugaw with lechon perfect sa panahon. Been craving since yesterday kaso sa sobrang lakas ng ulan nakakatamad lumabas bute umaraw ng konti kanina. Meryenda dinner na ata to. Kain tayo. ^^
Photography channel rejected my post that I posted this morning.. and I am shocked that I was banned and said that I should see the rules " to post original content only. " FYI, I never grab any photos in the internet. Why grab if can take photos, I'm not a pro but I know how to take good pictures. Even the caption are my own words. So this doesn't look like original? Wanna see the raw file? Kairita. Makapag tea na nga lang haha
Maulang umaga. Sobrang lakas ng ulan ngayon, magiingat po tayong lahat. Kung nagbabalak ka man umalis ngayon make sure na dun ka sa safe pupunta. Yung mamahalin ka ng todo at ipaglalaban hanggang dulo. Stay warm at wag masanay sa cold. Huwag mo ding hayaang balewalain ka nya at isabay sa pag anod ng tubig ulan. Char. Mag ingat lahat kabayan.
My sweet virtual friend/sister @Jonna surprised me with this Crema de Fruita cake. I even told the grab rider that I didn't order anything. Then he said that it's from Jonna, he even read the greetings that she included. Thanks so much (insert heart) hahaha. Ayaw mag emoji, lol. I'm so touched that you even remembered what I've said last time na never ko pa natry ang crema de fruta cake that's you you gave me one.
Done watching Kingdom: Ashin of the North. Grabe tagal kong inantay karugtong tas special episode lang pala si Jun Ji-hyun. Kaso bitin na namannnn. Isang taon na naman ata haha. Next movie naman :)
Another year of life.^^ I'm absolutely blessed and deeply grateful. I'm at the point in my life where I just want my family to stay safe and healthy, my loved ones and friends as well. I just want to be surrounded by peace no matter what I'm doing. It's my ultimate goal in life. This month is not so good to me but I'm still grateful despite of everything, I'm not sick, my family is fine. I prayed and wish that those who are sick will feel better soon. My fiance has mild…
Simple meal to celebrate my day. My ate cooked carbonara and we just ordered flavored chicken online, and we found out that there's a lot of small businesses in our barangay and will deliver it for free. Super sulit nung chicken, P500 lang, 24 pcs na. I support small businesses coz I know the process of having one, wanna support their dream. Gandang gabi.
I Finally Succeed. I am another year older, wiser and happier. Growing old is unavoidable while growing up is optional. I used to say before "ahh, it's my birthday again, I'm already (insert age) but I'm still here. I'm still not successful", and finally I don't have that kind of thoughts and feelings yesterday. Is it because I'm successful already? It's a big YES!. I'm successful in my own definition of success. I have many definitions of success in different areas of life…
Monday madness for ants too. Medyo okay na ang weather, may ambon pa din kanina pero di naman nagtagal. Gonna start my 4hrs deep work at 1pm kaya naglibang muna ko with ants bago magpakabusy ulit. Happy Monday ^^
Water art ^^ Water drops on spider web. Matagal ko na tong gusto itry na makunan but wala kada hanap ko wala kong makita. Then, last Sunday, while checking our backyard, jaraaahhh. I was so amazed dahil first time ko makakita ng actual.
It's nice to see you again, pretty moon. While others are preparing to sleep, I'm getting ready do some design. It's hard for me to focus in the morning, because of distractions here in our house. So I have to finish my work at night when it's quiet. It's the disadvantage of pandemic in my part. I don't have a personal work space here and they're work from home too. I need to adjust if I want to work peacefully. Anyway, let's stay awake all night Mr. Moon lol.
Just finished these pages for my scrap gratitude journal and will write my thoughts here tonight before I sleep. It's raining again.. I feel lazy to work because of bed weather but I have to hahaha. As if I have a choice lol. Kahapon lang tumigil ulan at ngayon super lakas na naman. Ingats kabayans.
Hey, nasan ang mga kaibigan kong langgam. Bat ikaw ang nandyan? Hahahaha. Oh sige dahil gusto ko magpicture ikaw na muna model lol Ang bilis ng oras, pagabi na naman. Ingats lagi wherever you are guys =)
Sharing this photo, taken 5 years ago when we went to hike at Mt. Manabu Batangas. That was the time when I'm practicing mobile photography. I'm not so sure what kind of insect it was, a super thin spider? Lol.
I woke up early just to grind these coffee beans. It costs time unlike our usual instant coffee but I enjoyed it. Enjoying slow paced morning again. I changed my deep work time schedule, from 1 pm, I changed it to 9am, coz inaantok na ko after lunch haha. Maulang umaga na naman. See yah later
I love to go to old structures/buildings. Aside from they look cozy and aesthetic, it feels like I travel back in time lol. I almost camouflage that I didn't even notice that I am in the picture when I'm looking at it earlier hahaha. Photo taken at Santa Maria Church, Ilocos Sur | 2018
Our homemade kimchi. My sister and I both love kimchi so instead na bumili ng bumili, gumawa na lang ^^
My model came back for a photoshoot lol. Yung sa dami mong gagawin di mo na alam uunahin kaya nanghunting ka na lang ng pipicturan haha. > < Need to work now, hayahay time is over. See yah later
Nakakamiss mamundok or mamasyal sa ibang lugar at makita ang ganda ng Pilipinas. We have a plan na magbakasyon this November pero mas okay ata na icancel due to delta variant. Magthrowback na lang muna hahaha. Taken at Mt. Maculot, Cuenca Batangas
I'm so happy when I woke up and it's warm dahil sumisilip na si Mr. Sun... but it didn't take long. After few minutes, rain started to fall again... A quick click bago lumakas ang ulan. Maulang umaga again and again. Stay warm
My mom's Rosal. I took this photo early this year, they're so blooming. Mom said its rosal and I got confused because when I was young, we had a scented rosal in our backyard (in our old rented house). The scent was so strong, I enjoyed staying in our backyard because of it. This one doesn't have a scent, but its okay. Its beauty is enough to make our day bright.
Watching 1 episode of Uncanny Counter before I sleep. I've been watching crime/mystery genre ng sunod sunod lately. After it's okay not to he okay, Partners for Justice, then Memorist. Ngayon naman ito haha. Pahinga muna sa romance.. Mas my thrill kasi for me ganintong genre, back to romcom after this one. See yah tomorrow.
Missing nature bigtime. The last time that I went to beach was February this year and I think it's the last too lol. Anyway, I've been thinking earlier if I'm gonna work today or will focus on household chores. And final decision lol, gonna clean the house and rest my eyes from radiation for a while. Sharing another throwback photo taken at Boracay | 2019.
Ginataang bilo-bilo for meryenda. We don't usually cook kapag meryenda unless andito c mother dear. Kaya bili na lang muna sa tindahan ni aling nena lol. Kain :)
I'm glad na umambon lang saglit at di nagtuloy sa malakas na ulan ngayong araw. Some parts in our brgy. evacuated dahil sa tuloy tuloy na ulan last week. Been living here for almost 25 yrs and ngayon lang ulit binaha dito, the first one was bagyong Undoy. Anyway, sharing my model flexing its pose, happy din siguro sya sa weather. Have a calm evening guys.
