@kneelyrac

What a tiring day today! I missed my flight this afternoon and I had to book again. Thankfully, AirAsia still had a cheaper flight for today. From terminal 3 to 4 real quick. There's always a first time, eh? I am so tired that I slept here at the airport. The guy who sat next to me was kind enough to inform me (half asleep) that the flight bound to Cebu is now boarding. Unfortunately, we don't have the same flight schedule, and my flight was delayed an hour. I am still…

@kneelyrac

Even with a very, very tight budget caused by missing a flight and booking another one on the same day, I still pushed on having dinner in Teology Cafe. Ahh, I miss this. So yummmm!

@kneelyrac

Currently in Cebu, but still need to bring my laptop with me since I didn't file a leave. Summer launching is coming ahead. Anyway, last night, I went to Tisa to inhale the smell of siomai. I also bought five regular siomai from Braddex, the one with a topped egg. Sadly, the bacon roll and empress siomai were unavailable. Apparently, the taste of the sauce is no longer the same as before. I'm quite disappointed, tho the siomai is still the same - yum!

@kneelyrac

I am not sure if I can go out today because I need to do something, plus I am tired and sleepy. Also, I booked another flight going to Cagayan de Oro City. Hays... I hope this drought will end soon. One thing that I didn't like about this trip and the upcoming one is I don't have extra money to go and eat out and have some fun. I'm just here on the floor, sitting while facing my laptop and doing the same old thing.

@kneelyrac

Currently at the airport, working while waiting for my delayed flight. It was supposed to be 4:25 PM but was moved to 7:55 PM. Thankfully, the earliest flight with a vacant seat is at 5:35 PM. Not bad tho. But I'm really sleepy. I want to crawl to bed already.

@kneelyrac

I was supposed to arrive at 5:50 PM, but flights had been delayed and I was lucky enough to ask the staff to transfer me to the earliest flight before my scheduled flight. But then, the flight was delayed again, and I arrived at the airport around 7:30 PM. And guess what, it took us 1 hour to go out off the plane. Now, I'm waiting for my baggage. Hopefully, there are still buses going to Trece. I'm starving.

@kneelyrac

I made hot tea even though I have fruit tea. I asked Tonio to buy one for me since he's already near Cabin Crew. Hehe Anyway, the initial plan was to ride a taxi going to PITX then ride a bus going to Manggahan and then a tricycle going to my unit. But it started pouring, and I didn't have an umbrella. My duffel bag weighed 13kg full of books is at risk, plus my laptop as well. I decided to book GrabCar instead. It was expensive - I paid 1800 PHP. He was just driving at 60…

@kneelyrac

Even though I didn't get to go around in Cebu City, my heart is still full that I get to hang out with my best friend for the whole night. We had coffee (7 PM to 11 PM) and then watched JJK at her condo on the 50th floor (midnight to 3 AM). The view from her unit is amazing!!! We also messaged our other best friend who's in Texas already. She is with our other high school classmate, as well. She visited her who just arrived in Texas last month. PS. We were not drunk. We…

@kneelyrac

Bought a concert ticket for my sister @charissek, and I also ordered Treasure lightstick. I want to attend the concert, but this girl is the broquest. So I will just wait for my sister outside MOA Arena. Or maybe I'll look for a coffee shop and bring with me a good book to read. Hopefully, One OK Rock concert is not this year because I certainly can't afford to buy tickets for three and definitely not VIP tickets. 🥺 I need to write and save more.

@kneelyrac

I realized that my response to the guy was meeehhh. A guy approached and asked me while I was waiting for the beep (mini bus) going to the airport. I wasn't able to hear clearly his question because I was panicking already. Him: Pila ba to...peoples? My reply: Di ko alam. Basta ako papunta akong airport and dito ako pinapila ng dispatcher. Me right now: Ambot saimu cyst ui. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@kneelyrac

I am here at Malate and currently questioning my decision of going here. Well, the initial plan was to have dinner with Antoni's Aunts and cousins. But we arrived late since we still had work to finish and travel time was almost 3 hours because of traffic. Instead, Antoni offered to buy them SB. He doesn't like to order and face cashiers, so I'm in charge of that. He asked me why I didn't order one for myself. I just replied that it was too expensive and he already spent a…

@kneelyrac

One of our seniors in college and a colleague of Antoni went to their office. It was her second time going there. She is now transferred to BGC and is currently on the food shopping galore because her meal allowance is still at 9,000 PHP and might be void because of the transfer of office. She had been in a wfh setup since last year, no wonder the amount. The muffin is big and has a choco filling. Antoni had mistakenly told her that my fave is red velvet, but he really meant…

@kneelyrac

Now that I'm here in Manila, I am craving the chicken and kimchi rice that I bought two days before the board exam. It's hard when you're craving something but you can't buy it because it's out of the budget. 🙄

@kneelyrac

I was supposed to stop at Taft, near the train station, but I ended up at Ayala train station. 😅

@kneelyrac

It's past 6 AM already, but I'm still about to have a good night sleep. 😅 Good morning, good night!

@kneelyrac

When you are trying to cut off your calorie intake, but then food keeps on knocking on your door. Thank you, Lord, for giving me friends and a boyfriend who supports my fitness journey but never fails to spoil me with food. 😅

@kneelyrac

I hope people stop asking me when I will get married. I already know I am at the peak of my 20s, but I still have priorities in life. And I am grateful and lucky to have a boyfriend who understands my situation.

@kneelyrac

I bought heels during the 7.7 sales, and it's so pretty for only 300 PHP. 🥺🤩 I could've chosen 4-5 inches heels, but I realized wearing such heels from the wedding ceremony to the reception is a struggle. (It will definitely make my matres itaktak mo. 🤣) PS. It's not my wedding. I'm one of the bridesmaids. 😅

@kneelyrac

Currently waiting for my order here at Ramen Kuroda. It's been 24 hours already, but I still can curb my hunger with water.

@kneelyrac

1st photo: Face before food is served. 2nd photo: Face when the food is served. 🤣 When I saw the pictures at home, I laughed because someone was hangry while the one who had a 24-hour fasting was chilling and smiling. I posted this on my IG story with a text, "Are you mad, Uncle? (Suko ka, angkol?)". He looks so irritable and grumpy, so I asked him and he responded he was not. "I was coding in my head." Nerd alert. Workaholic alert.

@kneelyrac

Here at NAIA Terminal 3, waiting for the flight's boarding time at 3:05 PM. ETD is 3:55 PM, and I am not sure if I can attend the meeting at 3:00 PM and be able to finish it before the departure. I am 29 hours wide awake. 😵 I don't think my classmate can fetch me at the Laguindingan Airport.

@kneelyrac

I was in the van already going to Tambo Terminal Iligan City but went out when I read Hazel's message: Carl, please wait (Carl, hulat2 sa). I already told Sheim not to fetch me and he said okay, but then Hazel told me also to wait. So I asked Antoni to call them, and guess what, they are still in Dalipuga. I need to wait for an hour. Huehuehue

@kneelyrac

I slept last night as early as 10:30 PM because I need to wake up at 7:00 AM and have a gown fitting at 8:30 AM. After the fitting, I will stay and work in a coffee shop so I can continue the task that should've been pushed yesterday. The reason for waking up in the wee hours: I can't breathe. My asthma always triggers in this time. If you ask me why I was able to sleep even though my usual sleeping time is around 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM - simple, no internet and no mobile data…

@kneelyrac

Just finished submitting my two tasks that should've been done yesterday in the afternoon. Call time for bridesmaids is at 7:00 AM, and here I am still wide awake. My alarm starts at 4:45 AM until 5:00 AM. 😕 Good night 😴

@kneelyrac

I've been away for a few days and I couldn't write a blog or read a book. Here's a summary of my few days stay here in my Lanao del Norte: - Attended a wedding - Participated in a bridal shower for the very first time - Food trip in Iligan City with my classmates in college and Antoni's colleagues - Went to Tinago and Timoga (again) - Watched a horror film (more like a disturbing film) with my college classmates because they wanted me to scream - Had an extremely painful…

@kneelyrac

This is the main reason why settling down is the least of my concern. I am tired of this. I have a choice but that choice is not the best for everyone. Oh well...

@kneelyrac

I want to go to a coffee shop but the fare alone is expensive and time-consuming - three rides going to the city will cost me 85 PHP. Anyway, my sister will borrow my phone for tonight's event - a live band. I'll just publish an article on Read on how I format my blog on Hive.

@kneelyrac

This was taken yesterday. I was in Iligan City and went to a cafe to work there. After a few minutes, there was a power shortage from 1:45 PM to 6:00 PM. Just wow. I stayed there for two hours and went out to have a pedicure then back to this cafe where my sister and I had dinner. She said that it was Mama's request. I am surprised by this photo because I look small here. Also, I think I've aged and lose weight because of problems here and there. But I'm still grateful to…

@kneelyrac

While everyone was busy preparing for the simple bridal shower, I was busy with work. 😅 I was the one who initiated this, and yet I didn't do anything because of my work deliverable. I told them I will just come over after I finish my task, but these girls insisted and picked me up at the hotel I'm staying at.

@kneelyrac

Some of the Readers decided to hop in on the Hive blockchain and I've known a few who recently signed up. Because of that, I decided to publish an article on Read on how I format my blog on Hive. It is not compulsory to format your blog but to attract more audience and curators, it is needed and beneficial. Well, at least for me. https://read.cash/@keeneek/how-i-format-my-blog-on-hive-a12a3659

@kneelyrac

I was invited to a wedding of my classmate in college and my thesis adviser on July 16. I was one of the bridesmaids and it was indeed exhausting with all the photoshoots and heels from morning to evening. Antoni was one of the groomsmen, so he was automatically my partner. After the wedding ceremony, there was another series of photoshoots. Each bridesmaid was given a token - a jewelry box and a coffee from Sagada. During the reception, another giveaway was given - a mug…

@kneelyrac

I decided to adjust my intermittent fasting from 16-8 to 20-4. I'm trying to curb my appetite with the coffee from Sagada, which was given at the wedding I attended last weekend. I told Nana, my grandma, to taste it and she spit it out. Hehe She didn't like it, not because it was bitter but because it was less concentrated. After spitting it out, she said, "Heh! Walay lami. Dili ko ganahan. Lasaw kaau!" And that's the reason why I like it. Hehe

@kneelyrac

Done with work. I need to rest for a bit before I proceed to blog mode. Else, my butt will get flattened sooner or later. There's an event in our community again since the fiesta is just around the corner. At least, I am not alone in overtime sessions.

@kneelyrac

Mama posted on her story my photo together with the youngest. I look like a siopao, so I messaged and gave her my recent photo with my slimmer face. But she brushed it off and told me she likes the first one more. 😒 Still wide awake because this mod needs to publish a report and the internet is acting up! Why does PLDT suck?

@kneelyrac

No wonder when I poured the hot water it has this different aroma. So I checked the pouch full of drip coffee, and tada, it has different flavors! 😯

@kneelyrac

My team lead asked me to go to a coffee shop today and he would treat me a coffee and a blueberry cheesecake. But I am off to Baganian, Zamboanga del Sur with my 20-year-old Uncle. So I asked him if the offer is still valid until Tuesday, and he said yes. Yeeey! Hihihi

@kneelyrac

I think we can't make it to the last trip going to Baganian. There is still 10 km left before we arrive at Pagadian Terminal. But we have another option - from three rides, it will now be four rides. My 20-year-old uncle is standing at the bus. I asked him to sit down but he replied, "Sakit na ako lubot, Ate Keen." 🤣 His butt hurts from the 4-hour bus ride.

@kneelyrac

Thank goodness! We were able to make it to the last trip, scheduled to depart at 4:00 PM. And now, we are off to Baganian. I will be able to visit my late Lolo. I make sure to bring along my license so he can see it. 😊

@kneelyrac

Currently at the southernmost of Zamboanga del Sur. It was indeed a long butt-cracking 7 hours of travel. Thankfully, the road is 90% cemented already. Imagine, five years ago, Papa and I traveled on a very, very rocky road and I almost fell out of the motorcycle. 😅 But the most amazing travel happened a decade ago: I was able to sleep for the whole trip because Papa tied me around his waist using a thick rope. I only woke up when we arrived already and then saw my grandpa…

@kneelyrac

Yesterday, I tried submerging my phone when we went to the river. It was just a few-minute drive from our bakery. I went there with my parents and our bakery's employees. Hopefully, before I fly back to Cavite, I can cliff jump in Blue Lagoon.

@kneelyrac

Hello! I'm back! I arrived at past midnight with my sister @charissek, who will be attending a KPOP concert today at MOA Arena. I have so many things to share, to write, about my trip to Iligan City and Baganian, Zamboanga del Sur. But the two highlights for this month: I visited Lolo's grave with my license and my sister @goiinmary has graduated. ❤🥺

@kneelyrac

Yesterday was one of the most stressful days in my life. 1. The third in the pack didn't message nor call me after the concert. I was circling and looking for her around the Arena four times. I even asked strangers and the crew. I was worried to death when the Arena was already closed and yet she's still missing. By the time she responded to the message, I was relieved and then got mad for not following my instructions. It took her more than an hour to respond! 2. I told the…

@kneelyrac

With all the sweating and worrying yesterday (for several hours), my asthma is activated - not the normal asthma attack. My throat is already itchy from the nebulization and then after an hour, I took my inhaler again. Still, there is wheezing happening. I couldn't even sleep, not until @goiinmary is already in Boracay. She arrived in NAIA late at night (supposed to be a 7-hour layover in MNL), then the next flight is at 5:55 AM. I was planning to go after her at the airport…

@kneelyrac

It's pouring - we have to postpone roaming around BGC. Hopefully, by next weekend, it will not rain. For now, we're going back to GTC, Cavite. We'll just stay at home and watch Netflix. PS. She's taller than me. Huehue

@kneelyrac

Her: Ha? My flight is on Aug 7? OMG! I brought clothes until Aug 6 only. Mama: Keen, what's the OOTD of Madam today? (Saw the pic) Wow! Madam's OOTD is nice. Plus she has an engineerYayaa. Me: I really look like one. I am wearing only a loose shirt, cycling, slippers, and a big backpack with our clothes in it. I remember when I asked her why she was into wearing that kind of sunglasses, and she was like "Fashion, Te Keen, fashion." Hahaha. My not-so-little Cookie Monster…
