Reading
Lyrics of all the Pale Waves songs
Writing
A blog post which I've had on my drafts for a week now. Can't seem to find the right words to finish it. Also, a process summary for a pitch due on Tuesday.
Listening
On Your Side - Day Wave
Smelling
Freshly brewed coffee! Joke! Instant black coffee lang siya. Ran out of coffee grounds ~_~
Wishing
For more money. I need to buy them new shoes and clothes. --- Not being a spoiled little b*tch here. I just did a closet clean up last week and I literally don't have medyo formal/leather shoes anymore. All I have are sneakers and running shoes. All my pants don't fit me the way they used to and I just realized how loud some of my clothes are for my single motherhood life. So...
Hoping
That all our pitches will have results next week. I mean, do clients have any idea how painfully hard it is to wait if you won a pitch or not?
Thinking
Of ways to make more money. ~_~ I do freelance event work! Hire me!A navy blue pleated dress and no ligo :P
Loving
Hearing Avery's new words! She's been shouting Mama for days! So CUUUTTEE!
\
WantingA new pair of vans. Veggie Tan Leather Nude. Please.
An eyebrow thread. Again. Check out my other Sunday Currently posts, it's always this! ALWAYS!
Feeling
Like I need a bath. LOL.
Clicking
Through google finding the subbed version of Meteor Garden Episode 21 and 22. HAHA! Don't judge!
How 'bout you? How's your weekend?
Dear You...Love, Me | Vol. 4 | Me
August 04, 2018 • Dear You Love Me
Dear Me,
Congratulations!
You're slowly getting back on track. I know it's been a rough road to travel, but you're finally back on your feet! So, give yourself a pat on the back and here are a few reminders before you turn a year older in 2 months.
Baby Steps. Don't rush it. Nothing good comes out of anything that's rush and done on impulse. Your whole life has been about doing what you want when you want. Remember that your decisions are not just about YOU now. Remember that it's you and Avery now. Everything you do if for you and her.
Don't be too hard on yourself. STOP thinking that nobody loves you! Your emo days are over! WAKE UP! But kidding aside, stop thinking that nobody loves you because of all the wrong things you've done. You made wrong decisions in the past (and will probably make more in the future - hopefully not the same ones) but that does not mean that nobody loves you. Stop blaming yourself for things which you have no control over, but also learn how to own up to your mistakes. THAT IS LIFE. No need to blame yourself.
FAMILY is everything. You should know by now that no matter what happens, yo family go yo back! Keep this in mind and live it. It is one important value that you should teach your daughter. Show her that family should always come first.
Love yourself. Remember, it is your moral obligation to love yourself. Love yourself and know you're worth. Know your value and don't settle for less.
Be the person that you would want your daughter to be proud of.
Lastly, PRAY. Give thanks ALWAYS.
Natually, there are still a lot more hurdles to overcome in the future. Just remember that it's not the end of the world and STOP ACTING LIKE IT IS everytime you are in a rut. It is just a phase and it shall pass.
Copish?
Love,
Alex

Friday's 10 Happy Things | 13
August 03, 2018 • Friday's 10 Happy Things
Hey it's back! Back again. :P Life's not interesting, as usual, but nevertheless, there are a lot of things to be thankful for! So here we go... Let's be thankful of the little things in life that make us happy!
1) The past few months have been a nightmare for me and my soul sister, Gab. After months of fighting and struggling, she and I are finally back on track. We've been a little lost and confused emotionally and literally since we've been trying to solve problems that are bigger than us and trying to figure out as to how we can save not just ourselves, but everyone involved. Fortunately for us, things have been getting better lately AND we hope it'll continue for us both. --- I think this has got to be the happiest thing of ALL!
2) Got to see Mt. Mayon in all its glory! Didn't happen this week, but since it's been awhile since I wrote this series, I am including this!
3) And this --- I got to see Manila Grey play live at Black Market! It was a crazy night of music and taking care of drunk friends. :P
4) Avery has been doing good with her therapy sessions! She's A LOT more sociable now and speaks more. She calls me "MAMA" now! I know it's no biggie given her age, but you guys have no idea how much that made my heart jump with joy!
5) Meteor Garden - 2018. WHY? WATCH IIITTTT NOW! I mean it! Or see why here!
6) Old Friends. After 2 years of not seeing each other, finally had a date night with these guys last night!

7) This baby girl making faces with Mommy. <3
8) Round Up turned 1! Go and check out the site, will you? Like us on Facebook, too! And follow on Instagram!
9) Rekindled Friendship. After almost 7 years of not talking to a friend, finally had a chance to rekindle that relationship and it's been amazing :)
10) After all the hardships and mishaps, I am still alive. If that's not something to be happy for, then I don't know what is :D Also, my little princess just kissed me goodnight.
Share with me things that made you happy lately!
Goodnight and Happy Weekend!
Quick Getaway: Upper East Side (Antipolo)
August 01, 2018 • Places
And by upper east side, I just mean Upper Antipolo Rizal area. Pa-sosyal lang guys. :)
Anyway, I usually don't post about places I go to because I am so bad in documenting the important things that it's pretty much useless to blog about it, but this place is really a surprise to me and thought it was worth posting on the blog.
So, it was one fine morning with the fam and after 20-30 minutes of just cruising the road without anything but mountains and trees comes this hidden gem of a place in Boso-Boso, Antipolo Rizal. A rustic, homey hotel named after the place where it's built.
Boso-Boso Hotel or Boso-Boso Highlands Resort and Convention Center located along Marcos Highway (mind you, its a verrryyy looonngg highway) overlooking Boso-Boso valley and facing the Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges.
The place has a great view without all the city pollution. It was literally a breath of fresh air. It's a good (quick) getaway from the city without having to pass thru toll gates and such.
They have a simple breakfast menu (silogs and pastas) which I believe still has room for improvement (and I really hope they do improve it because then it would be a total package!) I got pancakes and bacon for me and Avery and everybody else got Tocilog, Tapsilog and Adobo. --- No, I don't have a photo of our food because again, going back to my intro, I am so bad at documenting things like this ~_~
After breakfast, Avery still wanted to stay because she was actually enjoying the view (she wasn't afraid of heights! It felt like my heart was on the floor every time she looked over the glass railing) We decided to have coffee and hot coco. Their coffee and cake selection actually compliment each other. Plus the interiors of the place, it gives you all that homey feels.

Each table had a different painting! |

Little princess enjoyed her mango shake --- it was a large serving and we had to ask for a smaller glass so she could drink it. |
Learn more about the place here. Drop by (remember to bring a jacket!) and let me know what you think!
Dear You... Love, Me | Vol. 3 | Frances Avery
July 13, 2018 • Dear Frances Avery, Dear You Love Me, Momma Diaries
I miss you. I really do. I know we haven't been together much lately because Mommy is super busy with work, but I'd like you to know that I miss you every minute of everyday! I only get to be with you less than half a day for the past week and just 3 days the week before.
I'm just happy that I still see that wide fang face smile every time you see me. In a few years time, you'll probably feel bad that I don't spend as much time with you, but let me reassure you that when that time comes, Mommy will make sure that she has much time with you than work. It's just that right now, Mommy needs to do a little more work and hustling so that we're ready when it's school time and when you grow up. Mommy needs to do a little more work so she can provide you with the best things she can. Remember that all that time I don't spend with you, I do it for you.
You've been doing good with therapy too! Your teacher says you talk to him now. Words aren't that clear but you try to talk to him more and even attempt to tell stories. You've improved A LOT in the past 5 months and it's actually Mommy who needs to do a little bit of homework. Your teacher thinks that I may not be consistent with our daily routine and that's all my fault. I promise I'll do better, OK?
Mommy's still at work now, but just finishing up a few things. I cannot wait to see you when I get home! I love you, Avery! <
