GUYS. We made it to the end of 2017 without imploding! Well maybe we did but we're still standing so that's something. Without a doubt, this month was busy and fun and everything in between!

Clearly, I am rushing December entries for the end of the year and probably won't be able to do my last one but here's to trying anyway. I think 2017 was ( Read more... )

Well, November went by quickly, no? I barely blinked and then November 30 came and went and now it's December and before we know it, I'll be wrapping up the year and we'll be finished~ with 2017.

Every year (after the time capsule memes of yore ended), I would write myself a locked time capsule and only unlock it a year later and it surprises me ( Read more... )

And it's over! Quarter 3 is 1/3 done and I'm not sure how I like this 2017 going by so quickly. But there it is anyway. October was more 'chill' with me getting back to my routines of being in Singapore and actually waking up in my bed. Strange, but I like it.

I said hello to friends that visited and saw some of those I haven't seen in a while but ( Read more... )

I can't complain too much about September because I started and ended the month with wonderful trips back home -- the first one on a whim and the second one because I had to but I definitely wanted to.

And in between were lots and lots of friend time both in Singapore and in Manila. Just what the doctor ordered -- well among other things!

Well, this month was a surprise.

Both good and bad and everything in between but over-all, we're creeping towards the end of quarter 3 and before you know it, it's Christmas (when I say Christmas, I refer to the extended Filipino Christmas season that starts September 1, "ber months").

If you asked me at the beginning of the month whether I would ( Read more... )

I recently received feedback that for a newbie, my LJ felt all over the place and I admit that's true. Over the years, I've definitely lost focus and drive and just zest in general for this space. And yet, here we are.

I also realise that I never actually introduced myself to my new friends from the wonderful penderies' friending meme so let me say ( Read more... )

WOW. Just wow. I'm shocked I'm still standing at the end of June because this month was INSANE. From my moving houses to kick off the month, to friends giving birth to an adorable baby girl, to friends getting married in India, to friends coming over for an exhibition, to siblings getting married again (same wife, new ceremony) which means ceremony ( Read more... )

May went by like the blink of an eye. I was able to get out to Ho Chi Minh but I was also able to stay in Singapore a bit more (no thanks to my ear glue aka otitis media). I also saw friends (from my old job) and hung out with my siblings and just tried to make the most of the month that I Really didn't feel that much. ( + + + )

April was pretty crazy despite there being less days than March. I also spent the 'least' amount of days in Jakarta (which made me really cherish the days I spent in Singapore). Plus, I had some pretty awesome trips this month -- one planned, the other unplanned. Here's to quasi-spontaneity. ( Read more... )

Ending Q1 with March was pretty intense. So much happening, so many things to do and just very quickly how time flies. It's also the end of birthday season (for the time being) with my siblings finishing their birthdays but it's been a pretty good quarter. Hello, 2017 Quarter 2. Please be kinder. ( + + + )
