Bday tea with the twin, family, and friends! So nice to catch up with everyone. 🥲 I’m pretty tired since I had a jam packed day, but it was worth it.
Off to sleep now! I need the rest.
Wishing you all a nice holiday weekend! 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!!!

- There are still a bunch of worries and anxieties, but I’m working through it. A day at a time. And most importantly: breathe. 💜

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

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.

Day 355.
Happy Tuesday! 🙂 It’s been a very interesting day. Praying for those dealing with sadness, anger, and betrayal. 🤍
- My sleep study is going well! Just getting used to having two watches on. 🙃
- Our uncle was laid to rest. RIP Tito Timmy.
- I was a bit anxious when I woke up because of my vaccine. The day is finally here!!
- It was an early one for me. Tuesdays are great.
- We went to Trader Joe’s for a quick shopping trip. Then it was time to head over to the vaccination site.
- Vaccine time! I was in line by 6pm. It took a while to get to a vaccine room. It was quick and easy once I was assigned a room. We had to wait 15 minutes before we could leave in case we had any adverse side effects.
- I’m doing alright for now. I just feel tired and sleepy. I can tell that my arm will be pretty sore tomorrow! Hoping I can schedule my second dose easily. Ahh! It was stressful enough trying to get my first dose.
- Animal Crossing update: I’m buying more Mario items! It’s capped at 5 items a day, so I’ll get more things tomorrow.
- I’m hoping things turn out okay for everyone. This pandemic has taken a toll on folx. Sending love to everyone!! It’s much needed.
- Lastly, Happy Birthday to my cousin, Ben! He’s 18 today. I don’t believe it. Time flies!! 🥳🎂🎉
Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!
Good night.
