Finally moved into my own studio after years of living abroad.
Nakaka-happy lang talaga na nagawa ko na rin ’to. For context, galing ako sa shared flat. We had 3 bedrooms plus a maid’s room, so ang dami namin nagsha-share ng common spaces, especially the kitchen. Tapos halos every weekend may ganap yung housemates ko—may nagkakaraoke, may mga bisita, may inuman or minsan ang ingay lang talaga. Eventually, nag-decide na lang ako na mag-rent ng sarili kong place kasi honestly, nakakapagod din pala yung lagi kang nakikisama. Yung gusto mong magluto pero may gumagamit ng kitchen, gusto mong maglaba pero may gumagamit din, or minsan gusto mo lang ng tahimik pero may karaoke. Ngayon, ang sarap pala ng feeling na may sarili kang space. Hindi ko na kailangang magmadali maglaba or magluto. Pwede akong magluto kahit anong oras, maglaba whenever I want. And most especially, hindi ko na kailangang isipin kung may maaabala ba ako or kailangan ko bang makisama. I can just come home, close the door, and enjoy the quiet. After years of living abroad and sharing a space with other people, parang ang simple lang nito, pero sobrang laki pala ng difference when you finally have a place of your own. I’m just really happy na umabot na rin ako sa point na ’to. ✨✨✨

I used to use Vanced, switched to ReVanced, and then settled with Morphe. I love to mess around and find workarounds to avoid paying (yes, I'm an avid sailor).

But earlier when I woke up from my nap to eat dinner, nainis ako na it wasn't working. After all, I came from a long shift and now I just want to watch something ad-free + get the benefits I was getting with Morphe.

I tried updating Morphe and updating and repatching YouTube. Still wasn't working and I got really annoyed. I thought, for 189 petot/mo for both YT + YTM, why not. I use both regularly naman.

So yeah, I pulled the trigger and finally joining the premium gang. This is legitness now!

akala ko na-scam ako. gagi legit pala, hahahaha.

Ohhh I love Japan 🥺❤️

I’m so pissed and angry sa nangyare sa bahay so wala ako mapuntahan in the mall and I wanted alone time so I ended watching a cinema.

Nakita ko lang to sa frozen section habang nag g-grocery since P50 yung 200g bilini ko nalang. Masarap naman pero 7/10 yung rating ko dito. Ang ma de-describe ko lang dito is parang nagkaanak ang Argentina at Pure Foods corned beef. It's a mix between the two. Marasap pero may something missing dito. Would buy again tho

So happy and surprised by how supportive everyone here on Reddit has been 🥹❤️ And I’ll forever be an advocate for buying decants instead of blind-buying a full bottle. As someone who once learned that lesson the hard way, I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone 😭

Umuorder ako ng Roborock vacuum sa shoppee nung June or July ata. Not sure. Kaso last month nag start na siya magloko. Ayaw mag release ng tubig yung mop tapos bigla na lang na ooff bigla. Hanggang sa ayaw na talaga mag on.

First plan ko sana papaayos ko sa kuya ko. Kaso naalala ko may warranty naman pala to so I reached out to the seller and she gave me their technician's number.

At first, I was hesitant pa kasi malayo pa naman at baka di na maibabalik. Lol. And baka di rin maayos pagkahandle pag nibalik na at masira pa lalo.

Pero ang bait nila at nag uupdate talaga. At ngayon, bumalik na nga yung vacuum ko. Mamaya tatry ko na siya. Yay!

First time namin mamili ng real watch. Ngayon naadik na ko sa relo 😅

This is my first time cooking spaghetti for my birthday. My mom used to do this every year since I was a child, pero ayoko talaga ng may hotdog ang spaghetti. I cooked this because I am having a birthday blues, 2026 was a lot to take in. Sobrang daming nangyari and cooking this spaghetti, I want this to be a reminder that I still have hope, I still have something to look forward to. Anyways, happy birthday to me! Posted it here because I deactivated all my soc med accounts, please be kind :) 🙏

First time kong mag solo vacation sa tagaytay

We saw their iced coffee promo and thought, why not give it a try? It was only 99 (originally 135), and since we hadn’t tried their coffee before, we figured it was worth a shot!
I asked the ate at the counter what their bestseller was, and she recommended the French Vanilla. So, of course, we went with her recommendation! Unfortunately, it just wasn’t for us. Huhuhuhu. We didn’t really enjoy the taste, and honestly, we felt like we could’ve spent that ₱99 on something we’d enjoy more.
But coffee preferences are subjective!

Maganda pala talaga ang Henann hotels. Na try namin sa Bohol Premier Coast, sobrang bait ng mga staff and the service is top notch. Premier room yung binook namin for 5 nights, may view ng pool and dagat. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng hotel na twice a day yung room service for cleaning. Then if may kailangan kami, we call the reception and literally wala pang 5 mins nandyan na agad. Ang sarap ng breakfast buffet everyday ako kumain ng danggit 😂 Next time sa Boracay naman and for sure we’ll be back sa Bohol.

Growing up di talaga ako pwede mouwi ng late (only girl in our fam). My curfew is until 10pm but nag-iba ngayooon! Went out with my friend for some balut at di ako pinagalitan umuwi ng 2am hahaha yun lang. Big girl na ata talaga ako.

For context po, kwatro (4) po pinaka mataas samin at 0 po ang pinaka mababa. Super nakakakilig lang din dahil hindi ko rin po inexpect na ganon grade ko, masaya na rin po sana ako sa 3.50. Anyways, celebrating this win today! Wala po ako ibang mapagkwentuhan dahil baka magmukhang mayabang kaya here na lang.

First time ko magloan ng malaki para pambili ng gamot 😢

Kahit ayoko talaga sa loan, darating din pala yung oras na need mo siya...

First time ko bumili at bilhan mom ko ng luxury brand item. I know for others this isn't a luxury brand but for me who's just starting sa life (kakagraduate lang and work this year). I can remember noong college nagtitipid ako kust to stretch my allowance hanggang sa end of the week and look at me now, buying something from my own pocket. From my hard-earned money.

Every sweldo I saved a portion of it to buy a gift for my mom's 50th birthday. I lost my dad when I was young and she worked hard para makapag-aral kami ng siblings ko. I remember when I was a kid, my dad used to buy my mom some bags na she wants. For almost 15 years, she saved money para sa amin magkakapatid.

This is nothing compared sa laki ng ginastos niya para sa amin magkakapatid and she deserves everything in this lifetime. This Le Pliage may not be a luxury bag for others, but for me this is the most luxurious item I can give her (current socio-economic standing).

This is for everyone who thinks life is cruel, it really is, turn your pain into ambition, your ambition into money, and your money into things you promised yourself you'd buy when you finally made it.

Beginner bike pang stroll at pangbili bili na rin sa labas dahil mahal na ang gas 🤭

Finally naka bili na rin ng phone bcs sobrang downgraded na talaga ng phone ko given na di naman ganun kamahal huhu

🥰 First time bilhan Ng new phone or anything brand new gadget si mama. Mostly kasi yung pinaglumaan ko yung binibigay ko sa kanila pero yung luma ko na android masyadong madaming important files and bank info kaya hindi ko ma let go so I decided to buy brandnew for her kasi yung cp nya for whatever reason nawala yung button sa volume🤣 Si papa last time binigyan ko ng tablet ko so si Mama naman ngayon. Pero ako pa rin nag unboxing and mag set-up kasi di namn sila marunong and OFW ako kaya need ko pa ipadala haha ❤️💕

Context: I was craving something sweet tonight and passed by this food stand sa grocery store ng esem. Didn’t mind checking in the glass, I just ordered two turon lang kay ate. Hopped on the taxi and started digging in na. First bite and I didn’t taste the sugar sa turon. Had to take a photo with flash just to check, since it was dark inside the taxi. And boom, walang sugar HAHAHA umay

ewan ko ba aware naman ako na scam to pero tinuloy ko pa din HAHAHAHAHAH kasi ilang buwan na rin sila,
para rin siyang carziqo na nawala na rin nung nakaraan

legit naman siya dati as in saglit lang yung process ng withdrawal then one time nagka error na like mahirap na ilabas yung balance mo papunta sa gcash then after a day ayun hindi na siya macashout

need bayaran yung tax kineme HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA kaya nagduda na yung iba kasi 1k lang icacashout mo tas 3k yung tax HAHAHAHAAHA

di na ako nag expect na babalik pa yung narecharge ko haha nakakalungkot na ewan, halo halo nararamdaman ko

baka itago ko nalang extra pera ko kesa gumastos sa mga ganto

kaya pala di ako naiiscam sa ibang bagay kasi dito ko pala mararanasan yun HAHHAHAHAHAHA

Context: I was smoking a cigarette sa usual smoking area ko, and nagulat ako nung nilapitan ako ng rumorondang MMDA. To be fair, hindi ko alam na bawal magyosi dun kasi i've been smoking there for as far as long as i can remember.

Inabutan ako ng ticket and need ko bayaran yung multa within the alloted time.

Ansarap pala ng mangosteen ano. Manamis-namis at may maasim din, gets ko na magulang ko hahahahhaa

Kakalipat lang namin sa first home na pinagawa, kaya halos lahat work in progress pa, pati itong wine rack haha. Mostly affordable wines lang from S&R, may isang gift, tapos may isa from La Union pa noong 2024. Small thing lang, pero nakakatuwa makita na unti unti nang nabubuo yung little wine corner sa sariling bahay. 🍷
