Didn't really have anything special to celebrate but I got another just-because flower. Had a Japanese food date and went to my favorite ice cream shop! It was a happy day. <3

Chris Deric, you think you're so slick making me try on your ring for size but I know you're looking for mine. Cute nimo oy.

We're gonna be moving in together and getting married soon and he's still giving me the same energy after all these years. I feel like Chris often has this black cat aura on the outside but in reality he's such a golden retriever hahaha. Him being excited and positive makes me feel calm despite my fears of going into a new chapter sa ako life. ♡ I can't wait!!!

Moalboal is so tourist-y and the freediving and snorkeling experience was honestly overrated. Coron and Tubbataha are waaaaay better tbh. Still a good one though. My favorite getaway within Cebu is still Eskapo verde. Very secluded and simple but it's EXACTLY what an introvert like me wants. Huhuhuhu I wanna go back again :'(((

I only have a few really good friends and loved ones and maybe that's why I feel for them so deeply. So much so that sometimes, I find "I love yous" overused. I think the more you use certain words, the more they lose their novelty. Though I mean it when I say it, I think "I love you" is still often exchanged mindlessly in our day-to-day conversations. It's the first thing that gets blurted out in a matter-of-fact manner because it's the truth but god, I think sometimes my feelings go beyond those words and such a simple and regularly-used phrase cannot bring them justice. So I had to get creative and say my thoughts in another way.

'23 was a wild ride for all aspects of my life--including my relationship. Had we not broken up last year, we would've been engaged by December. He told me he intended to propose but I asked him not to yet because it just doesn't feel like the right time. He's still juggling work and school, he just moved out, and he's been getting new and amazing opportunities. I just got a new position, I just paid off our house which is great, but I'm also treading new waters. We've both taken big leaps in 2023 and there'll be more soon. Though nice things are unfolding ahead of us, I hope to be engaged when we can actually have the time to savor the moment and the opening of a new chapter.

He gave me my ring anyway and told me he will just buy a different one in the future when the right time comes.

I normally dislike traveling but I found happiness in it this year. I printed countless photos and diary entries enough to fill an entire journal and several albums. So naturally, Chris and I ended the year with a long trip. Just the two of us. It was the most beautiful plot twist to a year that started like a trainwreck.

Here's to more beautiful moments.

when hozier said "if im a pagan of the good times, my lover's the sunlight" and when hozier said "no grave can hold my body down, i'll crawl home to her" and when hozier said "i slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door" and when hozier said "heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i" and when hozier said-

I lost some weight recently but I got more kilig when I went out with my friend and she complimented me by saying I look sexy no matter what size I'm in because of my body shape daw. Of course nitukar na sab ako kahilas.I know every body has its own beauty but I'll always be grateful that I don't have a wide ribcage and high hips. God knows it's much harder to get a snatched figure with an inherently square bone structure. I'm just thankful I'm shaped the way I am. Anyways, I'm gonna continue with my hotter body 2023 agenda!! Mayta pwede na ko masud sa VS by the end of this year. Eme.

Last year. Plus the small renovations sa balay and all other things. I truly hope ma surpass namo this year ang amo mga na achieve last year.

Things will always turn out good, salig lang.

I had to get away from home multiple times throughout my childhood and teens. I went through emotional and physical abuse. And yet, I made a name for myself in art, in school, and now im making one in business. Opportunities have come and WILL BE coming my way because I deserve them. I will always be proud of how I made ways to finance myself sukad pa sauna. It doesn't matter if sometimes naay di maiwasan nga failures ug disappointments in life. I just know getting through tough shit and winning is a natural theme in my story. Di malalis ang ako kaagi ug ang mga butang nga ako nabuhat. And to top it off, I started it all out as a confused kid. I've come so far since then and I should be so proud of myself.

(writing this as a self-affirmation because the girlboss in me is tired and this was a much needed reminder of how far ive come)

I just know that May will be filled with abundance and opportunities for me.
