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!!!

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.

01:56 – 062024

I’ve been sneezing non-stop over the last hour. My eyes are starting to swell and nose very runny. Madaling araw na, tulog na lahat tapos saka ako aatakihin ng hay fever. Hence.

While I wait for the medications to kick in, might as well magsulat dito diba? I can’t even remember when and what my last entry was pero sige, brief catch up tayo?

January – celebrated my birthday and also, my 10th year here in the UK. Siyempre, andami kong realisations sa buhay as I age, lalo na how my personality evolved over time. Dagdag narin natin ang pagsheshameless selfie sa CR with a little bit of skin kasi feeling ko I’m in my bomba star era. Chariz!

February – since bomba star era, siyempre kelangan maghanda. I’ve started taking pilates classes and actually loving it, kahit may nginig factor yung ibang steps or positions ba tawag dun.

Believe it or not, continuous padin ang pagigym namin and I’ve come to accept the fact na di nako papayat as before, pero I want to be healthy and have the freedom to do and eat anything kasi may balance.

March was very special. If I haven’t already mentioned before, I looooove scandinavian countries, snow and of course, the northern lights. And for this month, I was lucky I got to travel to Finland with friends where I tried to ski (best in tumba si gorl) and maypakandong kay Santa. Later that month, we went to Iceland (adventure to pero chika ko next time) to see Park Seo Jun and get to taste his cooking. As a bonus? Best in appearance and dance si Madame Aurora Borealis super looove!

April naman is lie low sa lamyerda, but still may pa-activity. We had two shows lined up to watch in West End – Your Lie in April and Spirite Away – both Japanese animè which we love and of course, blown away kame how it was translated into theatre, as in live action chururut. As a wildcard, we also booked to watch The Play That Goes Wrong and we thoroughly enjoyed best in tawa kame kahit english lol.

Si May – may pasabog din. This was hubby’s birth month so as per usual, we went away to have some R&R under the sun pero ang pinaka highlight, si Madame Aurora B. naman and dumalaw sa mismong bahay!

I think fully updated and nakahabol narin ako dito sa blog for my very few avid readers (wow kala mo naman) although alam ko namang this is mainly for me to read in the future. For some reason, di rin pala nagupdate yung domain ko, so it has changed from amazingcharrozcaldos.com to amazingcharrozcaldos.blog na. Anyway, dama ko na si Cetirizine at Otrivine. After 5-6 months ulet, taaaa!
