Quarterly update?

I finally made it back here lol. Your girl has been very busy with the first few months of 2025 but I think I’m due for a ganap update. ☺️

As you already know, January is the birthmonth so as usual, I had to do something. I was really yearning to fly home but for medical reasons I couldn’t so had to think last minute where else could we go that’s approved and we wanted to visit and it brought us here.. in NYC! Thanks to avios points lol.

I actually enjoyed NY and we were there for a week so it didn’t feel like we were rushing to tick of seeing all the mandatory sites. I would say the highlight would be the food cause there’s just so many options and may lasa. Portions were huge, felt sinful and unhealthy at times pero kebs, importante busog and something new! And trulily, the city that never sleeps talaga coz buhay na buhay parin kahit past midnight. I wish one of these days I will have the time and energy to blog all about it but there’s 90% chance that I will forget so to summarise, here’s the video I made!

Next well-being activity is I took another dance class! I’m trying to scout which would best suit me so this time I took 2 classes at Pineapple Dance Studios near Covent Garden and I think I might go back and make it my regular one? Ang saya they have a variety of classes that I want to dip in again like Ballet and Contemporary but for starters, I took hip hop and kpop and I really enjoyed it! Bonus narin na the hubs also signed for the class para samahan ako (🥹).

Bonding with my constants, and first time to try karaoke night in a pub. Nakaka boost pala ng confidence yung mga ganon coz sa level ng mga shuti, eh galing na namen hahah so feeling ko naitaas naman namin ng bandila ng may dangal chariz! Iba talaga pag praktisado sa videoke. Finished 2 books and continuously growing my home library 💕

Health wise, I’ve received much better news so sana, magtuloy tuloy na. 🙏🙏

Till next catch up, taaa!!!

Something has changed within me. Something is not the same… Charez!

I just booked myself a dance class this Saturday and I am so excited and anxious cause I haven’t really done this in a while and I’m worried I won’t be able to keep up as an aging tita with memory issues lol. With tiktok as my only unofficial training over the last few years, I hope it gives me a bit of a boost to move my joints with minimal cracking. Haaay I can’t wait!

As per the intro, I’m on a 2-week long Wicked OST LSS and I’m so tempted to go and watch it again either in cinema or in theatre. I thought the movie was brilliant and more and more impressed with auntie Cynthia! My girl Ari was also killing it and she basically carried the show.

I was planning to write more but I literally dozed off for 5 minutes so I guess that’s my sign to sleep. Good night and i’ll try again next time!

Last stretch | 0112 x 0253h

I can’t believe we’ve already reached the final month of 2024. As the year winds down, I find myself reflecting on everything it’s brought—moments of joy that filled my heart ng todo todo, and challenges that pushed me to rethink my perspective on life. This year was really an eye opener, and each ganap, whether uplifting or tough, has shaped me in ways I didn’t anticipate.

Anyway, let me continue my recap of the last few months.

June

Happy to be back in Cornwall. This was a really chill vacay with friends, with a little jiyakan portion over bottlessss of wine.

July

So, we finally made it to Amazon Prime and korean tv lol. This was our random trip to Iceland in March and nagbunga din naman at eto na ang exposure hahaha. Diko pa nachika the full experience but maybe for another day.

August

August started out fine. Chill lang plus I could see my progress from working out and I was really looking forward to seeing my barkada and my bestfriend get married in Canada. Until, that GP appointment that literally spiraled into one of the most stressful moments of my life – the plot twist I never expected.

September

Ang masasabi ko lang is, I am beyond grateful to be around these people during a very difficult time. I was crumbling deep inside but they kept me afloat.

October

Just when I thought my world was falling apart, the universe sends me this! The northern lights have always given me the feeling of pure joy and after such a heavy month, this was just what I needed.

November

My favourite month. After everything, I found more reason to tick things off my bucketlist hence…the kaartehan lol.
