Super Productive 2021

Wow! I’m back here. 

Sorry I’ve been busy, well, productive in my daily life. 

Even I stopped vlogging because 24 hours a day is not enough hahaha! 

In just a day and it’s 2022 already. Wow! 

What happened? It’s always “how time flies”. 

This 2021, I am claiming that this will be the year of better things, comfort and peace of mind.

This is what I claimed for this year which happened :) 

I’m now living with my sister and I have another addition in the family (total of 2 cats) which they are making me happy and excited everyday. 

I’ve been busy with our online shop esp. when we had our trade license. I’m thankful with all our lovely customers and repeat buyers. We have more products to offer and hope everything will get better for the next year. :) 

As for my work, I was promoted to Senior Project Manager and I had salary increase. Thank you to my bosses especially to God for everything! 

Next year, I will get better with my finances and focus on my physical health. And I really miss travelling. I have that life goal to travel to atleast one new country per year and sadly, this 2021, I did not get it. Hopefully next year :) 

Stay healthy everyone!

30+

Just celebrated my birthday! How time flies, I'm officially out of the calendar haha! 

But my mind and heart is still young, I will enjoy life :) 

How did I celebrate my birthday? Just a simple lunch with my sister and boyfriend.

But before that, they surprised me at 1:00AM haha! (not 12:00AM anymore) 

My sister gave me a bouquet of roses (WOW) with money inside, it is so pretty! 

And personalized gifts - my Treasure Mirror and "I Love You" Tshirt. Thank you Chu! 

Levi gave me Airpods Pro! Bongga! Thank you Honey! 

Both wants and needs - I am satisfied! 

At home, my family in PH celebrated my birthday - my roses cake was fab! 

Miss you all! 

Overall, it was all I wanted. I didn't plan any staycation or any extravagant but my heart is full. 

Though, hope I can go to those two cafe (one is a new cat cafe) and Expo 2020 soon! 

Have a good day everyone! Have a great life! 

After 3 months

Wow, it's been a while. 

How's everything? 

I've been busy these past few months. 

How am I? Well, I'm happy to say that I'm using my time well (though sometimes I just want to lie down and watch K-drama and survival shows on my phone). 

We have leveled up our business so that's making me sane and productive. I hope that we will see the results of all these efforts and hard work. 

Shoutout to my Mom who celebrated her 70th birthday in our home. Sad that we could not attend. 

--

It will be October in few weeks which means it is my birth month.

I'm starting it with a special event of my ultimate kpop loves - Treasure Teuday. I'm excited :) 

I know I will get older but age is just a number. haha! 

--

Two of my friends here already settled down in PH. It made me think again. 

But everything happens for a reason. I still have purpose here that's why I'm still here. 

Come to think of it, I tried to go away many times but I'm still here! Haha! I just need to be grateful, seriously. 

Hopefully, all of these will make sense. Well, it will all make sense. 

Take care everyone! :) 

Shookt

 Today is a birthday of my highschool barkada.

I greeted her, she even mentioned that she is now out of the calendar and then I realized, she is now 32. 

Meaning, I'm turning 32 as well on my birthday this year.

I was shookt. LOL. 

I didn't realize, I was really shookt. HAHAHA.

Though, age is just a number which is true, I can't help to be shocked. 

I'm proud and happy to say that I live my life the way I like it.

I hope that everything will be better. I'm excited for more things Life has to offer. 

PS: Happy Father's day to all Dads especially my Daddy! Stay healthy and happy!

Vlog vs Blog

It's been almost 17 years now since I had this blog. 

Shocking right? From my teens to my thirties, I'm still here but not too active anymore.

As I also do weekly vlog which is primarily informational, not daily / life vlogs unlike here where it is more personal, though not too much (as this is public).

I also rarely share photos, time really changes things, changes people and actions. 

Nakakatawa, super makwento ako dati, pero ngaun I barely share things. 

How's life? How am I? Why am I still here? haha

Well, currently it's been hectic. Good news! I got promoted at work, unexpectedly.

I'm very thankful to experience this promotion since there's a pandemic and I have no expectations.

Thank You Lord for giving me this company and work environment, I love my work and my bosses! (if you will ask me years ago if I can say this, never in my wildest dreams. It's really a 180 degree turn)

I will do my very best! I also had my work laptop (finally after 2 years of using my personal laptop). 

I'm also a cat mom so my Leo is keeping me and my sister busy, happy and spending for his things, grooming, food, vet etc. Totally worth it as he is part of the family. Few more months and it will be our 1st year together! How time flies, right? 

I also have several business ideas, hope to launch it successfully and be consistent. Wish us luck!

We are now halfway 2021 and I hope everyone is healthy. 

Before I forget, next week will be my 2nd dose of Covid vaccine. Thankfully, I did not experience any side effects of the 1st dose other than body pain esp. in my right arm.

Let's all be happy, productive and live life to the fullest and no regrets! 

I'm excited for your surprises, Lord! 

Rock Baby Rock

I’m now living in a new Emirate. 

I’m now living with my sister after 6 years of being in a same country. FINALLY. 

I’ve been busy moving things, purchasing cabinets, bed, office table & chair, etc. It was a long ride, an expensive one haha! 

I know these are just investments, at the beginning. Now, I have my own space and save a few with lower rent fee. I can do what I want, singing my heart out haha, listening and watching videos in loud speaker - I am free and happy. 

Though the downside is the less options on food deliveries haha, not much tall building, it is very chill here. It’s okay as I’m just staying at home. 

Hopefully, things will get better. 

I will do my best. I won’t be complacent. 

I can do this!! 

Flower...

How are you? How am I?

It's been 2 months already since I last updated.

Many things happened. Many changes took place, many decisions were made.

A mixture of good and bad. 

With a tearful heart, I want to share that my Mommy Lola left us weeks ago, she was 88.

I remember when I was young, we were scared of her because she was so firm, fierce and strict. 

I didn't understand her, though I know she was fond of me since I took her name as my second name. 

I was not able to talk to her and say goodbye recently, even online because I cannot. I am weak, I may cry. 

I know she is now happy and at peace up there, no more pain. So long, our Mommy Lola. 

You made us stronger and we learned a lot from you. You are madiskarte, very generous, fashionista, a great cook, a business minded.. You are so strong. You are our pillar.

---

Now, on my 30s (I'm 31 now and few more months on my birthday, I'm out of the calendar haha), I made big decisions - for my health and wealth as a gift to myself. 

I know I made the right one and no regrets. It will happen sooner or later.

I can do this! I can make them happen! Wish me luck :) 

Hello Kitty

I seldom remember my dreams. 

And when I do, I searched for its meaning. 

Last night was an exception. 

I remembered it, the little details. 

I was with my family - Mom, Dad and sisters, I’m not sure with my brothers. I was enjoying a Hello Kitty themed fireworks, wearing a white short dress with my red or pink shoulder bag (take note: I’m not into shoulder bag, more on body bag. Meaning I was matured at this time). I looked sophisticated and my sisters are wearing fashionably too. It was a happy moment. The fireworks were beautiful. I enjoyed it. I was able to vlog a little. But before this happening, I was doing charity works, donating for a specific shop. 

Then, we went to dine in a Hello Kitty restaurant when I started to film for my vlog. Then I woke up. 

I googled the meaning of this dream as soon as I woke up since I still remember it.

Fireworks, is a symbol of celebration, unexpected news or wealth.

If you see bright fireworks in a dream, it means that very soon you will have luxury and even rich life. If fireworks that you dreamed of lit all around you, then soon your wishes and old dreams will come true.

If you dream that you are at some public festivals and have fun observing fireworks, in the near future, you will experience a happy period, which will not be marred by anything.

I was excited. I hope so. 

I’m not feeling 100% okay. This dream made me hopeful. I won’t lose hope. I will be happy. 

I made a decision before this dream. 

It is an indication that I’m on the right track. 

I need to be an eagle, I need to fly high. Don’t mind the crows, focus on the goals. Things will get better. :)

Better 2021

Happy New Year! 

Happy 2021 from the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa! 

This is my second time to spend the Holidays in Dubai because I always go home and it is my first time to experience New Year’s Eve closer to Burj Khalifa. It was definitely one for the books! 

Here's our video story about it: NEW YEAR 2021 IN DUBAI - New Year Eve’s Fireworks in Burj Khalifa Dubai

This 2021, I am claiming that this will be the year of better things, comfort and peace of mind.

It will be back to basics.

This will be the aftermath of the last year’s chaos but on brighter side. 

I will be more focused and continue taking care of myself, my health (mentally & emotionally) and my heart. 

I pray that our health will stay well, our family will stay intact, my work will have more business & clients, same with our businesses. 

I am hopeful. As they say, there is always a rainbow after the rain. 

Everything will be alright. Fighting!
