Baseball. Music is my therapy. Creative. Dreamer. Photography.

More football!!!

Oh boy, this weekend was something. The Niners beat the Packers and now it’s back to the NFCCG! 😮‍💨 More football to be played. I’m anxious excited, but I always get this way. Woo!!!

Caught up with some college friends a few days ago. I hadn’t seen a lot of them since before the pandemic. I’ve known Kengar since I transferred to UC Davis in 2010. He went to the rival high school in the city, but it’s all good. He was so happy to see me since I dropped by after work. I was happy to see him too! It’s been 5+ years. He’s off to the Philippines. I’m so jelly because I need to work, LOL.

Me, Kengar, and Mel! UC Davis 💙💛

Just trying to relax atm. One more day of work and then I’m free! Birthday week for Mom too. Love her so much. 💗

I also have a lot of other things to tend to, but I’ll deal with it on Tuesday.

Highlight from yesterday: saying hi to each other. Always a treat! LOL. 😂

I’m “dating” again and I’m bored. No one is giving me anything to work with on Hinge. My goodness! Is it always gonna be this awkward?! 🙃 And this is just the talking phase. I’m like anxious already. WTH?!!

Well, gonna try and sleep. But first, video games.

Good night!

Pretty Hurts! 🏆💍🥇

Officially the champion in my FF league! I’m relieved. 😮‍💨😎 Third season playing and I secured first. I’m planning to play again next season. I’ll try to defend my title, but man this season was something.

Out of the top 4 teams, mine was the lowest scoring. I was 8-7 going into the semifinal! I beat my twin sister to get to the final. I won by 0.20 against Brian, our bestie’s brother! I was shooketh. I watched football all day NYE. It paid off!!!

I’m so proud of myself for not giving up. This season is a testament to my perseverance and can do attitude. I was very determined!!!

Now I can just focus on the Niners. They’ve got the Bay Area on their backs. Keep going, fellas!!! ❤️

I watched a few episodes of Sex and the City with my sister. Too funny!

Well, I’m gonna try to get some sleep. Good night.

Happy 2024!

It’s a new year, but I’d like to reflect on 2023. Proud of myself for the highs, lows, and everything in between. My grief was very very heavy. I feel like I’m still processing the losses and adjusting to all of it. I can’t ever forget the love of my Lola Mila and Beari’s beautiful companionship. I felt the most unconditional love from them. It’s bittersweet to start fresh and they aren’t here. 😭

I’ll always share their stories and pictures. I miss having lunch with Lola. I miss being greeted by Beari when I get home from school or work. It’s truly all of the little things. Doing my best to be strong, but also gentle with myself on my most difficult days. I’m ready for the ride! I know 2024 will be a very important year. 💜

2023 was the year of concerts and music! Still cherishing those moments and memories.

I am tentatively the winner of my FF league, but waiting on official confirmation. I spent hours watching most of the games yesterday. That’s how my NYE went. Thankfully I had time to cook dinner for the fam. I’m pretty tired now. I’ll try to sleep, but I’m anxious. One more week of holiday break! Ready to tackle it all.

Good night and I wish you all well!

Happy Holidays 2023!

I hope you all had a lovely day celebrating with family and friends. Mine went okay, but I’m still dealing with a lot of grief.

Didn’t help that the Warriors and Niners lost! 👎

Still on break so that’s a plus.

Being very gentle with myself. I plan to sleep in tomorrow.

Won my fantasy football game! To the championship I go. 🥰 And pocket camp is making me happy. Welcome back, Sanrio!!!!

Good night.🎄

Hello holiday break!

Finals concluded for me on Sunday. Yay!!! I have a catering gig today and then I’m off for the next two weeks. I’m gonna be tackling some projects, hopefully catch up on sleep, and watch movies. 💗

This semester was very, very challenging! But I did it. Time to celebrate all of my hard work. And I hope it pays off.🤞

It’s been raining in the city and I’m not a fan. I know that we need it, but I’m already over it. Winter officially arrives this week and I’m just over here waiting for the spring. Haha.

Well, time to sleep. Work in a few hours. 🥴 I hope this gig will be fun and a learning experience.

Byeee!

To Bernadette.

Two years later and it safely got to me! I wrote to Jimmy Garoppolo in December 2021. His time was winding down with the Niners. 😞 I just wanted to share my appreciation for turning the franchise around.

I bought a few of his cards on Mercari. I heard that he usually responds so I’m like cool, let’s do this. Emailed the Niners and asked for their mailing address. Got a response and I was on my way. Dropped the cards off at my local USPS with tracking. I wanted to make sure it got to Levi’s Stadium safely! It did. Then the waiting game.

I finally got a response on Monday! I saw the informed delivery digest. Envelope was stamped Las Vegas. I knew!!! 🥹🥰 I’m very grateful that he took the time to respond. And the cherry on top was that he personalized it for me. Wasn’t expecting that at all. I just thought it was going to be his signature.

I’ll always root for Jimmy! Thank you so much. GO NINERS. ❤️

A year today.

Time has moved so quickly since we had to say goodbye. The house is still too quiet without you. We’re keeping your memory alive by sharing stories, pictures, and videos.

Five years with you was a short amount of time, but it was filled with so much love and laughter. I often say you were too beautiful for this world and it’s absolutely true.

I miss you every day, Beari. I hope you’re running free and enjoying the endless treats wherever you are. Forever a good girl. 🤍🐶✨

Love,

Bernadette

Life update.

  • Got to see Queen + Adam Lambert for the first time ever at Chase Center on 11/8 with my sibs! It was amazing. Still riding high. Freddie!!!! Queen forever. 👑
  • Trying to survive the semester. Just a few more weeks and I’m done! This week is absolutely testing me. 😫
  • The holidays are here, but it’s making me emo. Beari’s one year is coming up. We miss her so much.
  • Got a few things from the baggu x sandy liang collab. Lots of items sold out quickly!!!
  • Hoping to catch a Dubs game soon. They are playing horrendously as of late. Klay has a terrible slump.
  • It’s been raining and I’m not a fan.
  • MLB sucks for voting on the Las Vegas move for the A’s. A loss for the Bay Area! DISLIKE.
  • I plan to catch up on homework and sleep next week. So glad to have time off!!!

I’m tired. Time to ko. Good night!

Infinite Love.

I was able to see a sneak peek of Yayoi Kusama’s exhibit at the SFMOMA on Monday, 10/9! Thank you to my friend, Rachael. She invited me since I really wanted to go and she’s a member. It officially opens this Saturday, October 14. This was my first Kusama exhibit. I wanted to see the one in LA, but I’ll have to plan for that next time.

I gravitate towards her artwork! I love polka dots too. Here are a few pics from Monday. 🟡🔵🔴🟢🎃

I’m off today, but I did have class! Just had lunch and rewatched *NSync music videos. 🥰

Time for a nap and then I’m cleaning! I hope I can tackle some schoolwork too.

Today is also my 16th PH Anniversary. I always reflect and show gratitude for how far I’ve come. I plan to keep going. Can’t stop, won’t stop. 💜

Byeee.
