I turned 26

Three days ago, I turned 26. Nothing special really, I didn't even blew a candle for the two cakes I received. As you get older, birthdays come and go. I didn't even feel sad for just a few simple greetings and few important people who remembers it. I'm just grateful to be living my 26 year old self with a healthy life and happy family and that feels significant to me than anything else. 

Maybe the things that stayed with me as I turned a year older can be sum up in a list:  

How to make Millions before grandma dies

Last night, I went out with my family and boyfriend to watch the movie called How to make Millions before grandma dies. I've got lots of realizations and thoughts about the movie as a girl who grew up with my grandma. The filmmaker once said, "I realized that people who watched this film didn’t talk much about the film, but they use the film to talk about their lives, so these reactions have taught me a lot on about how this film has affected the psychology of the audience.” Indeed, the movie resonates with a lot of people and every family has a story. 

ODD CAFE

The day we went to makati is really unplanned. We just finished our morning class, so me and my friend decided to go cafe hopping in makati for a breather. We tried this cozy and artsy cafe called odd cafe situated in Salcedo Village, Makati. I ordered the peach mango for 180php. I also heard that this cafe is 100% vegan when it comes to their menu. 

Tagaytay

It feels like a breath of fresh air when something is going well after all the struggles I've been through in these past few months. I had an opportunity to spent the long weekends with my family after they decided to book a last minute hotel reservation for an unplanned staycation in tagaytay. The funniest thing is that, my boyfriend who happened to visit was also invited to join.

A sunset a day, keep the blues away.

These past few days I want to experience what they call 'retail therapy' but it's hard when you can't even save. Kidding aside, I have the urge to earn and study at the same time. I wonder if I could find a part-time job and juggle between working and studying at the same time. But I also want to have time for social things. Time to walk outside and somehow take rest.
