I already miss Japan.

I got home on December 2nd. Still dealing with jet lag. Been sleeping on and off. I’m awake now so I’ve decided to type out some thoughts.

I had a beautiful time out there! I didn’t get to do everything so I’m already planning my second visit. ☺️ The last few months were challenging for me, so I was happy to reward myself with a trip.

Long plane rides are torturous for me. I couldn’t stay in my seat either. I had to get up and walk + use the bathroom. Had to keep the blood flowing. Decent seat neighbors. Plane food was pretty good too.

The goal right now is to save and pay off bills! I spent a lot out there, but I have no regrets. Missing all of the food! 😭

The highlight of my trip was seeing Mt. Fuji! Going to Puroland too. I was also able to navigate transit. I’m so proud of myself!!!

Now I’m back home trying to get back to normal life. Missing some people that I hope to see very soon. Life is already changing. Please slow down just for a bit.

Good night. 💜

🖤🧡 x 💚💛

Yesterday’s hang out was a lot of fun! I got confirmation. 🥰 Nerves were there initially, but I was able to calm down once we got to the yard. We were running a little late, but that’s okay. I forgive him! 😆

We got chicken lumpia, dole whips, a spicy chicken sandwich, and a Coke. Good food and great company! I always told myself to take a risk. I was quite scared in 22/23. I was dealing with a lot mentally. Things changed for me in 23/24!

I’d like to believe this is a start for a blooming friendship. I’m content with where I’m at atm. July was fun, but I hope August will be even better!!

I’m really proud of myself. 💜

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!

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

I love you, baseball.

Tuesday, August 15, 2023 was one of the best days ever! I won tickets to the Gotham Club via Twitter a few weeks back. I was anxious, but excited leading up to the big day!! It’s an exclusive space and I was grateful to be given the opportunity to see the ballpark from a different perspective. I shared the experience with my twin sis.

There’s a lot of history! From New York to San Francisco. I took as many pictures and videos as I could. Our first stop was batting practice. Our third base coach, Mark Hallberg handed me a ball! He was really cool. He asked, “Is it my lucky day or is it your lucky day?!” Both. Hahaha. We hung around for a good hour and then went inside to grab a bite to eat. Twin and I split a BLTA with fries. I ordered red wine and she had a Coke.

Watched the game from the secret area aka the out of town scoreboard. It was cool! Afterwards, we went to the game room. Such a neat area. We decided to play Pac-Man, darts, and bowling. Giants won that day, 7-0!!! I’m now 1-2 this season. Might attend another game or two. Not sure if we’ll get to the postseason, but🤞

Summer is winding down, but trying to make the most of these last few weeks! I’m stressed about life. The usual. Hope all will be okay! Just really glad to be working again.

Kk need to ko. Sweet dreams.

💙💛🐴

Much needed catch up sesh with my college friend, Diana. She’s in town and it’s been so long since we last saw each other! 🫶🏼

Good times and lots of words of encouragement. I’ll try my best! 😆 Just need to continue to be brave.

It was a very long, but productive day for me. Hoping to get plenty of rest. It’s going to be a long week, but I’m looking forward to what it may possibly bring.

I plan to watch the first epi of beef. Woo!

And the Giants beat LA! Shut those bums out. Byeee. 🖤🧡

Good night.

The final days.

I didn’t think we’d be saying goodbye so soon. Beari’s cancer has spread and we’re out of options. I wish we had more time, but we had five great years together.

We’re planning for her best week ever! The beach, her fave foods, and whatever else we can think of to send her off.

Losing a pet is never easy. But seeing her in pain is really tough. 😭

I wish her peace and comfort. We love you, Beari. ❤️🐻❤️

I am broken.

Back again.

Last weekend I attended Outside Lands! I haven’t been back since 2009. I was so happy and excited to be back again. I spent the day with my sister. We listened to amazing music, ate awesome food, and enjoyed the weather! (We just got exposure notifications for Covid yesterday! So we tested at home and it’s negative. We were masked for most of the festival so🤞). I plan to get tested again.

Planet Booty was fun to listen to as we ate lunch. I was most excited for Griff! We walked over to her set as soon as we were done eating. I wasn’t front row, but I was close enough. This was her first American music festival. I’d love to see her in the UK one of these days. Bummed I didn’t get to meet my friends, but there’s always next time.

We ended up staying for Pusha T’s entire set. I had to sit down and mellow out. I was waiting for Weezer!!! 🥰 They were incredible. I wasn’t in front for that either, but that’s okay. We decided to eat before the last few sets. Quesabirria tacos 😋 So good!

We split our time between ILLENIUM and Post Malone. Glad we caught both! I love live music. Planning to attend again next year, but it depends on the lineup. It was a successful OSL! I’ll share more pics in another post.

Just really thankful I was able to experience it again. 💜

Happy Thursday to all!
