February 2025.

It came and went, but thankfully it’s still Pisces season! I’m officially a year older and it’s been something already. I care too much and I continue to try. Which is great, but in this case I feel like it might be time to let go. 🥺

I was disappointed about last week, but things happen. Will they be proactive? Probably not. I do so much and nothing. It’s a little frustrating.

I need to start focusing on myself again. School is really challenging right now, but I’m doing my best. I’m juggling both jobs too.

It’s essential that I rest when I can and seek joy in the small things such as hanging out with friends. I’m looking forward to seeing them later!!!

It’s almost my Monday again. WTH?! 😭

I felt like last year’s birthday was better. Sighhh.

Time to ko. Good night! 💜

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!

35.

Farewell to 34, hello to 35! Time flies. It was a beautiful day well spent with family and amazing food. We’re still working on leftovers. It was a joyous time celebrating our new year. 💜

Part of me is sad because I’m grieving the passing of our paternal uncle. I really wish we could be with the rest of our family in Canada. Maybe we can visit next year? His first day of visitation was yesterday. Today will be emotional. Holding my dear family close to my heart. We sent over a floral arrangement and it’s beautiful.

I can still hear his voice in my head. Very soft-spoken, but kind. My proudest moments were speaking Kapampángan with him. He’s the only one out of the siblings who was born in Pampanga. I think that’s awesome!!! I hope to see it one day. 🇵🇭

I’m just reminiscing. I’ll have more to say come Friday. I hope I can get through the day later. It’s been heavy since last week. Praying for my uncle’s beautiful soul. 🤍

Good night.

Happy Birthday to you, Lola! ❤️

She’s 92 today! Time flies. I just want to say thank you for raising us – cooking, cleaning, and keeping us in check. I remember we used to get nagged if we didn’t change out of our school clothes or clean up after dinner. She taught me how to cook rice too!!

We brought brunch over to her this morning. Filipino food! And then more Filipino food for dinner. 🥰 She liked her presents too, a scarf and a beanie. Temperatures are starting to drop and I really want spring to be here already!!!

I’m emo, but I love our Lola. I was the one attached to her whenever she flew back to the Philippines. Full on tears! 🥺😭 Very grateful for our grandparents.

Going to end it here. I have an interview to prep for before bed. I hope everyone is staying safe! Good night. 💜

Happy Saturday! I needed to rest and that’s exactly what I did. I’ll be working on some stuff though before I sleep. Gotta get it done!!!

  • I got to sleep in! It was amazing.

  • Lunch was delicious! Very savory and flavorful. I’ll definitely order from Saucy Asian again. 😋

  • There are still a bunch of worries and anxieties, but I’m working through it. A day at a time. And most importantly: breathe. 💜
  • It was a Manic Monday for me! It was tough to get out of bed since I studied so much yesterday. I’m planning to study a bit more tonight.

Day 387.

Happy Saturday!!! 💛 Happy Birthday to our dear Sal. She’s 8 today! We love you. 🐶

  • I stayed up trying to find cherry blossom DIYs. It’s driving me nuts because they’re pretty rare to come by when shooting the presents. AC can be so addicting!!!
  • I watched The Broken Hearts Gallery. It was pretty good!
  • I took a long nap since I was so groggy.
  • Missed out on the UCLA game. They didn’t win. 😭💙💛 Bruins forever!!!!!!
  • Washed the dishes. Going to shower shortly.
  • I’ve been looking at old pictures. Trying to find more from our Mom’s side. To be young again. ❤️
  • Can’t believe it’s Easter tomorrow! So much to do. It’ll all get done.

Good night.

Day 358.

TGIF! It’s been a long week for me and I made it. 🥲 I’m looking forward to sleeping in and getting lots of rest.

  • I got up earlier than usual. I had to get to the blood draw lab before work.
  • Really glad it wasn’t super busy. I was done in about 20 minutes!
  • Once I got home, I had time to eat brunch and play some Animal Crossing.
  • Animal Crossing update: Not much going on. I’m moving bamboo trees around. Figuring out what else I need to create! Lots of brainstorming.
  • Work went well. We all got to take home a bag of goodies for the school fundraiser! I’m looking forward to snacking and maybe tuning in tomorrow evening.
  • I felt a little nauseous again during the day. I really think its my body adjusting to the first dose. I’m also very anemic right now. I’m hoping to get my infusions very, very soon.
  • Lastly, Happy Birthday to my brother! It’s his first quarantine celebration. We kept it low key and there’s so much food. So grateful!

Well, that was my day. Hope y’all had a nice one. Enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.
