Who else feels that 2016 is already starting to whizz by?! One minute I’m lighting the sparklers my cousin Miguel bought, then the next minute, it’s already January 2, and I’m just like, wait, whuutttt!? It’s a reminder to take the present as *ahem* a present. But seriously though, it’s a wake up call to not…
LOOKING BACK ON 2015
First off, major EEP! It’s the last day of 2015! The year went by so fast! Sure there were days that were painfully slo-o-o-ow, but damn, I need to get used to time going so quickly. Looking back, 2015 was the year I chased my passions. It was when I actively chose to “live the…
99 PROBLEMS
Okay, first off, I should not let my roots grow. It looks ugly. Let this blog post serve as a promise to NEVER grow my roots to more than 1 cm. Now that that’s out of the way, I can go back to talking about normal, random, anything goes, overshare… which is pretty much what…
HEYROCKETGIRL DOES CHRISTMAS
Wheeee! It’s a month to Christmas! My absolute favorite season. 🙂 Not only do I get to binge on Starbucks’ Toffee Nut Frappuccinos, I get to play Justin Bieber’s Mistletoe shamelessly too. Awww yeah! But aside from these, I love that Christmas means spending time with my loved ones. Ever since moving to Singapore, I realized…
WHY #PRAYFORPARIS IS NOT ENOUGH
I logged onto Facebook Saturday morning and the top story was that a friend had been marked safe during the Paris terror attacks. Immediately I googled what the hell was going on and what I saw devastated me. I read reports upon reports to try to make sense of it, but the the fact is,…
16 REMINDERS FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD SELF
I had another one of those “Ohmigod, I’m twenty six” moments. The phrase “10 years ago…” actually leads to a trove of memories instead of a haze of images, as was the case if you would’ve asked me a couple of years before. Uhhh.. let me see, at 12 I was in the 6th grade?…
I’M 26!
Yesterday was my 26th birthday, gaaaah! I’m in my late 20’s!! Or is it still considered mid-20s? Late mid-20s? Hahaha Anyway, whatever, even if I’m getting older, I’m still a kid who very much loves birthdays. So, thank you to everyone who sprinkled good vibes and well wishes on my special day! It really made me…
GOOD MORNING, MANILA!
I said it on instagram and I’ll say it again – There’s nothing like waking up in the room you’ve lived in your entire life. 🙂 Today’s message on my God wants you to know app says that: sometimes little things can go a long way to refresh a weary spirit. It couldn’t be more apt! After my jam-packed yesterday, waking…
LIVE THE DREAM
“LIVE THE DREAM” has been my mantra since 2010. It started as a reference to “The Secret” and the law of attraction wherein you act as you already have something so the universe will manifest it for you faster. It then evolved into an encouragement to not just wait for the universe but to actually go…
FOR KIRK
Dear Kirkiebakirkie, I still remember the day I first met you. I picked you up from lola’s house after school and on the ride home, we took our first selfie. Now, I know I don’t look as excited as you in our picture but let me reassure you that I was. I was doing my…
On Turning 24
I got made fun of by my SG friends for being way too excited about my 24th birthday. I mean it was just 24, nothing momentous as say turning 30 or even 25. But for me, it was a big deal. It was a lot different from birthdays past because for one thing, I was more…
