When Food Becomes a Love Language
Today felt different. Kasama ko si Mommy at pamangkin ko, and we decided to go to our favorite merienda place. Hindi naman siya fancy, hindi rin siya bago.

Sometimes We Give the Wrong People the Right Parts of Ourselves
Lately, I’ve been trying to build better habits. Yung mas mindful, mas intentional, mas aligned sa goals ko. Things like waking up earlier, journaling again, limiting screen time, and choosing peace over pressure. Pero ang totoo? Ang hirap.
