So many dog photos, but I love it! This was after work one day. I was super tired and cold. The living room is always eventful and this photo is an example of it. Laki loved being everywhere, especially the futon with endless blankets. What a dog! His personality doesn’t compare. So silly.
I miss him all the time. It’s approaching 9 months. So many happy memories. I will always cherish those.
I hope you all had a great Thursday! Where did the week go?
Sleep well.

It was a bit of a slow week for me, but it was back to work! We as a staff had to get used to the new after school schedule. I think we’ll have it down in a week or so.
I’m still in the middle of Christmas shopping, so that’s been okay. I watched movies again and I got to photograph the gingerbread house at the Fairmont + other sights in the Financial District. Hanging with the doggies is a given. Haha. 🙂
I can’t believe it’s December! Where did the year go?!
Reminiscing yet again. I think it’s always the toughest during the holiday season. As we prepare for Christmas, we really wish our maternal grandparents were still around. Even for one day.
I can’t remember how old I am here. I think we’re 4 or 5. You can’t quite tell because it’s a bit blurry, but I think I just finished drinking soda or fruit juice. Bianca and I had super red lips. LOL. Maybe it was Hi-C? I really liked our matching haircuts. #twinning
I love my grandparents. They all raised me with so many values and important lessons. It sticks with me to this day. I hope I’ve made you proud.
Sweet dreams to all.

This post is dedicated to my Dad. It was his birthday on November 19! Happy Birthday, Dad!! Looking forward to many more celebrations. I love you! ❤
I didn’t do much this week. I worked on Monday, 11/20, and the rest of the week I was off because of the holiday! I slept in, watched a bunch of movies, made dinner, re-watched Sex and the City, had my holiday dinner with relatives, did some online shopping, took care of chores, and caught up with good friends.
Hoping to get back in the swing of things since it’s back to work tomorrow. I’m excited! 🙂
I just wanted to document this. Drinking boba milk tea at a late hour isn’t a good idea. I think it was almost 9pm. I’m so sensitive to caffeine.
I’m awake yet again. Maybe I’ll watch a Christmas movie on Netflix? I love Christmas movies! 🙂
That is all.
Sweet dreams.

Here I am at Dolores Park. I was 22. I had to help my cousin out with a photo project for his class. It was pretty fun. I remember doing a bunch of silly poses & jumping! My fave. 🙂
I still have that All-Star Game jersey in my closet. Oh baseball, how I miss thee. Just waiting for spring. Come back soon!!!

I have so much to be thankful for this year, including the hardships. There’s a silver lining for everything, right? Hoping for the best. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.
I stand in solidarity with the indigenous peoples of America.
Good night.

I went to the Renegade Craft Fair with my sister, a rainy work week, consumed pineapple sausage (available at Costco), and pretty much just hanging out when I found free time. I’m also in the middle of my holiday/Christmas shopping! I don’t want to be last minute. 😛

Today marks eight months since you went away. There isn’t a day when we don’t think of you! Laki (luh-key) was a very special dog. I loved to call him little brother, little man, and my shadow. He followed everyone, but he and I had a special connection. I was very overprotective of him, partly because he was quite small in stature. He was our first male dog. He loved taking naps and sitting on everyone’s laps while we did our homework.
His name came from the Tagalog word malaki which means big. But since he was small, the name fit perfectly. Our dad came up with his name. We had some trouble deciding, but what do you expect from teenagers. Indecisive! Lol.
I miss you every day, Laki. I hope you’re enjoying the great big sky. May there always be treats, lots of food, and comfy blankets around you.
I love you always.

November is off to a great start! I had a tea party with friends, the work week, some rain, Boudin, hanging out with my cousin Tink, early Christmas shopping, self-care day, Fall Bash, and a high school reunion at Takara Sake! 🙂
To the pictures!
Bianca and I with our maternal grandparents.
Lolo Maning and Lola Santa Clara.
Some of the best people ever. Miss them all the time.
So many wonderful memories.
I miss being a kid. #adulting
