You know how I still get "judged" for being skinny despite my reputation of being a voracious eater and having a flabby midsection (that's about 2 inches of pinchable flab, I kid you not).

"Kain ka ng marami. Mas maganda kung magkalaman ka ng konti."
No high waisted pants can hide my flabs.
Not that I take offense at such. But I'm sick of explaining that I don't go on a diet or that it runs in the blood, yadda yadda. So before anyone strikes me again with remarks about being underfed, malnourished, and that I should go get a quarter pounder, let me tell you this: I would eat the next person who will tell me that I look better with more meat.

I dare thee.

Point is, stop that blatant too fat, too thin, too everything comment because that will just make you too much of an asshole. I know it's normal to notice a person's physical appearance initially but can we all just agree that saying something not nice to their face about their body is never okay? Especially if it is someone you barely know. If you have something in mind that doesn't make the person any better, just shut the duck up and let's all be happy. No to body shaming, period.

(Also from now on, I'll be using duck instead of f*ck because I was told that Google doesn't like f*cks. Sorry ducks.)

P.S. My friends and I tease each other when it comes to weight. But that is because we've learned to accept our bodies and we're okay with it. But dude, if you're going to say something not nice to someone you barely know or if you have this urge to give an unsolicited advice, just zip it.


I took a day off from work last Monday so I could dedicate my day for the visa and wedding preparations. What I planned was to get my PSA birth certificate (BC) in the morning and meet with our coordinator and photographer in the afternoon.

Three of my friends told me it only took them two to three hours to get their certificates at PSA. So I took the shot of getting the BC myself since it's also the cheapest way. I only had three things on my to-do list, I figured I can still do some shopping for crafting materials since I have the entire day for myself.

Unnecessary and irrelevant, no filter but with good lighting selfie.
Also, shameless plugging because I'm getting lots of compliments about my skin lately.
Thanks to MySkin Origins!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. It took me the entire day to get a BC, not to mention, 30 minutes was wasted driving around just to look for a parking spot. The entire PSA ordeal drained my battery and mobile data, all the positive energy in me, and brought my productivity down to -100.

I postponed the meeting with the photographer. I finished the meeting with the coordinator at half past 8pm. Which means, I haven't eaten my dinner yet. The last decent meal I had—an instant cup noodles—was at 2pm. Hunger and exhaustion do not really go well together. I was definitely pissed off and muttering angrily to myself (why I hesitated to pay extra because I could've done it online and I've done it a number of times already, and why I had to do it on a Monday) didn’t help at all.

Thankfully, that was the worst of it.

(Lesson learned. Next time, pay for the convenience and do all transactions online as much as possible)

I talked with Jan over the phone the entire time on my way home (although I was quiet most of the time). I can sense that he was careful not to piss me off further but honestly, I was already feeling a little better the moment I heard his voice, I was just being extra dramatic just because. Haha.

Plus, the meeting with our coordinator/decorator went well and I'm pretty excited about it. I just told her what I had in mind, showed her a photo or two, and she proposed me her ideas—which is exactly what I wanted.

I was pissed off and exhausted but the wedding plans simply got me stoked. And I hope all this planning will remain smooth until the big day.

Well, that's all for now. Life hasn't really been that exciting. But I have few DIY wedding projects and I'm excited to share it with you. Have a great weekend everyone!





That I apparently forgot to post.

And I'd like you to believe I was busy.

1. Bagged two awards at the Davao Blog Awards co-presented by PLDT-Smart.

Best Personal Blog
"Breaking Norms", Best Personal Blog Post

2.  Electrolux's Blog Writing Contest - Fifth Place
I did not expect to place because it was difficult to write about a piece that I’m fairly new at. And unlike others, I think I wasn’t stylish enough. But 5th place? Hell yeah! Maagang pamasko to! (I just copied this from my Facebook post)


3. Hapee Kiddie's Blog Writing Contest - Finalist
Winners will be announced this month, so I'm crossing my fingers and toes.



4. Jan in Tux 
Jan was one of the groomsmen in his sister's wedding. It was my first time to see him in a tuxedo. Nainlab ako lalo.


Also, I love my pants. Got this for only P299
5. Spent Christmas with relatives in Sarangani.
First long drive. Davao to GenSan in 2 hours. Not bad.

My cousin's daughter is sooo pretty!
6. Reunion with my highschool classmates
Ateneo de Davao University - HS, 4-Berchmans 2002.

2018 has been great and this photo sums it all up:
Ngiting tagumpay

And 2019 will be just as awesome.

Have a great year everyone! :)

Jan and I visited our future home yesterday and we're so happy about the progress.

See?

Knowing how real estate development works here, one could say that that's a lot of progress.

Haha. I'm really looking forward to the day we move in because finally *drum roll* I will have a custom bookshelf/mini library! But before I start with anything for our home, I still have a wedding to plan. We haven't made a lot of progress and we only have four months! And what's worse, I still have to decide which five out of a hundred wedding DIY ideas are realistic enough for me to actually attempt to do.

May the gods of patience and creativity be ever in my favor.

P.S. Hey Chronos, please bestow me with a lot of time too because I'm also having Japanese lessons in between.

I would have loved to write about the 2018 that has been awesome or whatever topic that's fitting for the new year but I am more excited to share this with you.

You see, I never really thought a bridal bouquet can cost so much. Php 5,000-7,000 seriously?! No, thanks.

Today, I decided to create my own bridal bouquet because aside from the fact that we'd rather spend our money on more important things like a fridge full of frozen yogurt, I was bored as hell as well.

Plus, crafting things makes me feel giddy all the time.
