3.3.23

What an interesting date and a super busy day for me. 
It’s Friday night and I’m all alone at home with my two cats hahaha. My introvert self is so happy. 

I always pray for happiness and peace of mind. Thankfully I am feeling it even when I’m alone but not lonely :) 

Though I need to pause and give myself to hibernate with everything. Just hours ago, I totally forgot that I haven’t eaten! Imagine hahaha.

I need to prioritize myself more and remind me of my younger self like the url of this space - ilabmyself. Love myself more. 

I have so many things on my mind, so many questions - why I’m doing this and such, why am I holding on, what’s the next steps etc.

Uncertainty is scary. 
Live in the moment but until when. 
I have to cherish life and don’t worry too much.

Stay happy myself, need to freshen up.

In Our Area

I was a casual kpop listener starting with 2ne1 when Sandara / Dara was part of (yes, 2009 i'm such an OG)

I got curious, she was so famous in PH.. it's a new world and was interesting.

I went to Seoul, Korea last January 2020 and bough few little things of Blackpink. 

Then came the pandemic which started my craze / seriousness about kpop with TREASURE and BLACKPINK. The rest is history.

Bought merch, kpop albums, lightsticks - I even have a Twitter stan account haha! 

Also had few giveaways in Youtube and Instagram about them. Gosh. I even donated and voted. 

Why? They made me sane and happy during the pandemic. They effectively entertain me and at the same time stressing me with some fan wars hahaha. 

Anyway, to cut the story short, I just attended BLACKPINK Concert in Abu Dhabi last January 28 2023 in Etihad Park with my boyfriend Levi and her sister Jas. I was able to attend their online concert but this is different. I was disappointed on myself for not buying the VIP because my reason was I will be standing (my old body will be aching hahaha). 

I still enjoyed it in Gen Ad. We did not even wait too long like we went there 1.5-2 hours before the concert? hahaha the tita in me is showing really. 

I got teary eyed when the show started - I was happy. They inspire and motivate me. I love them all and their songs. I hope they renew their contracts in YG and stay together as 4. 

My first concert was 2NE1 in Manila wayback 2011. I was with my sister that time in Araneta and this Born Pink in Abu Dhabi was my second kpop concert. And you know what will be the third? It is for TREASURE in April and bought VIP Soundcheck - I will be alone and will be standing for long hours. OMG. 

Better book my flights now. Wish me luck as I went home this December - January 2023 for 6 weeks. 

It may cost a lot of money but the joy and thrill lasts for a lifetime. 

Exciting things ahead!

More Results in 2023

Happy New Year!  
How time flies really, we are now in 2023!

Spending the day extra special as I’m home with my family. Nothing fancy, just us relaxing and eating lots of food haha! 

I slept almost all day hahaha. Watched some anime in Netflix and posted on our business accounts. And excited for Blackpink’s little sister - BABYMONSTER hehehe. It was basically a chill day! 

I have high hopes for the year. I felt that I planted enough seeds from the previous years. 

Hopefully this 2023, I claim to gain great and satisfying results, better health and more peace of mind. I hope to save more too though I have many plans to travel hahaha. 

Overall, I am hopeful and excited for this year. I am ready! 

Thank You Lord for everything.
I am blessed to have this kind of life.
