Not as quiet and bright as the moon; my thoughts speak louder than my mouth ever could.

Panganay

Growing up, madalas kong marinig sa nanay ko na ako ang mag-aahon sa kanila sa hirap o tutulong sa kanila pagtanda nila. Before, I just took it lightly, pero as I grew older, I realized that it's not as easy as I thought it would be.

They never pressured me in my studies. They never asked me to be on top. They just wanted me to take my studies seriously and get good grades. Surprisingly, even without any pressure from my parents, I was always part of the top students from grade school to high school.

And then college happened. It sucked. I was never happy during my college years. I don't know what happened, but the eagerness and motivation in me to study were gone. My mental health suffered. I cried myself to sleep, wanting to give up and end everything.

And so, I stopped. I was already in my last year, but I gave up. I couldn't imagine the disappointment of my parents at that time. I promised them that I could still be successful and would help them. And I did!

When I met my husband, I made it clear from the start that I had extra baggage with me and that it would always be with me. It was one of my non-negotiables when we started dating.

My husband knows the love I have for my parents. He never stopped me from being a breadwinner despite us having our own family already. He always makes sure that my family is included in our plans. I love that his family (my in-laws) also accepted and extended their love toward my family. As much as possible, they always invite my parents and include them in every event and outing.

I was blessed enough to have found a partner and in-laws who understood me. They never questioned why I still had to provide for my parents nor stopped my husband from helping me do so. I couldn't have it any other way. Nakakapagod, but seeing my parents happy from the smallest of things makes my heart feel fulfilled already.

Nanay at Tatay, malayo pa po pero malayo na...

Years ago, whenever I liked a guy, I would suddenly be into whatever he was into.

He liked trap music? Oh, me too! He liked going to the gym? I mean, I hate working out, but sure, let’s be "healthy." He liked basketball? Guess who’s a new fan!

I did so many stupid things just to please guys I liked, only to end up alone anyway. I went out of my way to meet them, and I even paid for our Jollibee meal once—only to get ghosted after. Pathetic, right?

Now that I’m with Michael, it’s different. I never had to force myself to do any of that. I don’t like some of his music, and I’ve never even listened to The Weeknd. I call him out on his questionable fashion choices, and if he wants to go to the gym, he goes by himself.

With Michael, I’ve been able to fully embrace who I really am. I can love the things I enjoy without worrying about what he’d think. And honestly, that’s the most freeing and genuine kind of love I’ve ever experienced.

Spontaneous Tagaytay ride!

Last night (01-12-2025) napagtripan na naman namin na magrides. We left home around 11 PM and arrived in Tagaytay at 1 AM. Sta. Rosa palang gusto ko na umuwi dahil sa sobrang lamig LOL. We were planning pa naman to go to Baguio on my bday pero parang hindi ko kakayanin hahaha! Can I just say that I love going to Tagaytay late at night? Aside sa walang traffic, there's something serene and calming about the place. Also, Gotong Batangas, Bulalo and Tawilis FTW!! You can never go wrong with a hot Spanish latte hehehe!

FUN FACT: 3rd time ko pa lang sa Tagaytay. The first time was when I was with Koei last 2017 pa. 2nd and 3rd time was with my husband :)

Back when I was still in college, I always envy those girls my age who can go out anytime with their boyfriends, lalo na ung may motor LOL. Aside from having strict parents, I really never experienced college love nor being pursued during my teenage years so I always wondered, ano kayang feeling noh to go out in the middle of the night with your SO.

Fast forward to today, na experience ko rin siya, with my now husband. And it was so nice and cute. Feeling ko nagbalik dalaga ako and I always look forward to this random drive at night. Funny thing is, hindi na kami tumatakas sa parents namin pero sa mga anak na nmin hahahahha! I am now a sucker for midnight rides 🤎
