Ending My Blog!

For those who really, really know me...or at lease have a really fantastic memory, you would know that I have been blogging throughout my preteen years to my twenties. I utilized a platform called Xanga, a once booming network of personal blogs. This was in my opinion, truly the Tumblr before the Tumblr. I attempted …

The Last 7 Months

I was thinking about writing a recap for July. Reason being, it has been the most joyful month I've had so far this year. I revisited my parents in the Philippines since seeing them briefly back in February. This time with my little family. But as I contemplated on how to begin my blog post, …

Skydive With Me

For someone who's hands constantly perspired while watching Free Solo, jumping out of a plane at around 10,000 feet sounds pretty ambitious. Inspired by Rachel Nguyen of That's Chic, I started writing a 29x29 list. The concept being that I would like to achieve 29 specific goals prior to my next birthday. These objectives are …

Past My Quarter Life Crisis? Turning 28!

It is April, and also the very first post on my blog for the year 2019. The duration of my periodic absences have become more extensive, but it really has been a busy year so far. In the last few months I made the transition from working to being a full time student. This month …

Where I’ve Been

It's crazy to think that on the other side of the world, it's already 2019. I was going through several posts from my family and friends back home, and couldn't help but begin counting down the hours of when we would be welcoming the new year here in South Texas. And still, I am in …

Thanksgiving

Keeping it short and sweet today on the blog. This year was our first time hosting Thanksgiving, which has been slightly anxiety filled for the following two reasons: Growing up, we didn't celebrate Thanksgiving. My memories of Thanksgiving were limited to what was taught and observed in school. Or how the holiday was portrayed on …

Weekend Recap

As this weekend comes to a closure, I look back at some things that brought me joy over the past three days.  And in no particular order. 1) Waking up to sunlight rather than darkness at 5ish in the morning. My favorite area in our new home is one that I wake up to, which …

Hey Internet

Hello there. It has been awhile. In my last life update, I was literally trying to contain my excitement over our first official home. Since then, we have departed from our small apartment into a cozy, but still continuously evolving space. While this entire process has actually been more chaotic than anticipated (health issues + …

Meet My Baby Brother

You would think I am being an emotional older sister by always referring to my baby brother, Joshua as my 'baby brother', but I can't help it. Prior to our most recent conversations, it had been awhile since we caught up. The last time we really sat down and spoke to each other was during …

Life Update! New Home

I don't think I ever dreamed of owning a home. Like, really dreamed about it and not just limit my thoughts to potential home décor to fit into whatever space I currently occupy (This is apartment #5). Truthfully, I completely hesitated when Fabian brought up the idea. More than once. But today marks a milestone …
