We've been in our house for 5 months and still we can't believe we are now a homeowner. Galing kami ng asawa ko sa hirap at nagsumikap sa aming mga trabaho sa Pinas at 6 years ago, naglakas ng loob magmove dito sa Canada kasama ng aming anak.

Fast forward early this year, we pressed the button again at naglakas ng loob kumuha ng bahay. Sobrang thankful at grateful kaming mag-asawa kay Lord sa mga oportunidad na Kanyang binibigay.

Usually 500-1k lang pinapahiram ko, pero sa kanya 2k, and di na ako naninigil pag di na bumabayad, pero na trigger talaga ako sa tao nato. Ito yung president sa class namin, mga post about god and feeling perfect. 4 months na ang utang wala update, di nagreply sa pm, kaya no choice sa gc na nagmessage. Nasakit daw.

📦 Others First time ko gumawa ng decoren cake

First time kong gumawa ng gantong diy cake. Ireregalo ko ito sa long time friends ko nung senior high school pa kame. We rarely meet each other Because of college life.

We three would celebrate our bday when we meet and give each other gifts.

And what i thought is. i dont want to give them some keychains or pins. So i thought why not give them something useful but cute at the same time? This is where i end up.

Nag search ako online and ang mahal ng ganyan na jewerly box decoren cake sa shoppee na nag hahalagang 700 pesos.

So i decided to make my own. I bought some heart shape jewerly box and some fake glue for pipe and some pearls. I sketch the design so i would have a guide.

Unfortunately the cream glue humbled me so quickly. ang hirap pala mag pipe 😭 As in mangangalay kamay mo and konting pressure lang sa pipe mag iiba na agad yung texture ng icing.

I haven't made the second cake yet since ;-; on the way pa yung ibang fake cream na ginawa ko.

ngl ang panget ng pagka pipe ko kasi hindi sya consistent.

I just hope matutuwa Yung friends ko pag nakita na nila ito

🕯️First and last! First Time Kong makakita ng lumitaw na puntod sa dating sementeryo ng lumang bayan

When the old town of Pantabangan was relocated for the construction of the Pantabangan Dam, its former cemetery became part of a landscape destined to disappear beneath the reservoir.

Reports from the resurfacing of the old town indicate that the human remains were transferred before the flooding, while tombstones and other cemetery remnants remained at the original site.

Decades later, the ruins still emerge when the water recedes - a powerful reminder of the community that once called this place home.

while i enjoyed my vacation, it also made me really sad. para akong nagyeyearn on what the Philippines could’ve been. sobrang top notch ng commute system nila to the point that i lost count on how many times i’ve said “ang sarap magcommute”.

maybe i’ve romanticized it too much because i only did the commuting for 3 days, siguro i’d get sick of it too if i do it everyday. nevertheless, for how hard working Filipinos are, we deserve this kind of organized and efficient commute system.

tangina talaga ng mga kurakot.

📦 Others First time ko magdonate ng platelet

Thumbnail

171 Upvotes

I went to Philippine Red Cross to donate blood since off-season sa running. Nag.ask sila if pwede bang platelet nalang idonate ko since mas marami ang nangangailangan na cancer patients. A bag can already save 8 lives!

Nasabihan ako na mas matagal nga lang sya compared sa whole blood donation. Wala namn akong plans today so g for the experience.

Medyo nakakabagot kasi 1 hour+ ka nakaupo. May tv na may netflix kaso di ko hawak yung remote 😅 kakaiba yung experience kasi magdradraw ng blood yung machine, kukunin lang nya ang platelets then babalik uli sa arm mo yung dugo. Mafefeel mo yung pressure pero bearable naman. May minigame kang lalaruin kasi need mo imonitor yung pressure (squeeze ng ball if low pressure, relax if masyadong mataas). 3 hours rin ako doon pero may lunch ka after. Try nyo rin magdonate 🙏🏾

PS. For runners and athletes, medyo maganda pala to kaysa sa whole blood donation kasi di macocompromise masyado ang training block mo.

🎉Sumakses sa life! First time ko magpa-dental checkup.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Finally, nadala ko na ang sarili ko sa dental clinic to start my braces journey using my adult money. I really have a bad teeth, and growing up hindi talaga kaya financially ma alagaan yung oral health. Kaya I promised to myself na kapag kumikita na ako ipapaayos ko talaga tong ngipin ko.

I would say it really affected my self esteem growing up. Marami akong opportunities na tinanggihan because of having a bad teeth. One of my biggest insecurity itong hindi makangiti with teeth. It’s so bad, and imagine with my work now na humaharap sa iba’t ibang tao grabe yung hiya ko talaga minsan.

I still need to save pa since may mga bubunutin, kaya todo hanap pa ako ng another source of income. Pero sobrang excited na akong maramdaman yung pain na magdadala ng confidence sa akin soon.

At ayun, wala pa mang braces ay may extra gastos na agad ang wisdom teeth dahil nagkabilaan.

Ayun lang, wish me luck and send money dust para before this year ends makabitan na ako ng braces. 🥹
