FREE YOURSELF

Free yourself from people and things that weigh you down. 

Free yourself from emotional pain and suffering.

Free yourself from the past.

Free yourself from fear and constant worry.

Free yourself from your inner critic.

Free yourself from comparison.

Free yourself from what you "SHOULD" be doing.

Free yourself from the weight of expectation. 

Love yourself and take care of YOU!

You are worthy. You are enough. You are you.

Don't just exist. Live. Live life the way you want. It's your life after all.

MOTIVATION < DISCIPLINE

Few months ago I was all about sewing and designing and creating. I was so inspired and motivated. Then sh*t happened and all of a sudden they're all gone. Motivation and inspiration were nowhere to be found~and has been replaced by the desire to laze around in bed, watch Netflix and bask in all my excuses and justifications. I tried to fight it. I'm still trying. And I have been really doing my best to find them and get them back but got no luck. Until today, I talked about motivation with one of students. I asked him, what motivates you? He answered, I don't believe in motivation teacher. I asked, why? He said, because it can derail our dreams and goals. I don't rely on motivation. I don't wait for motivation. I just do it. IT HIT ME. HARD. SO HARD. I was putting all of my dreams and aspiration in the hands of motivation BUT MOTIVATION IS FLAKY. I wasn’t getting very close to achieving anything I wanted because I keep on relying on it. I always look for it. I always wait for it. And I always blame it for not getting things done. Don't get me wrong being motivated is good. But it's unreliable. It's fleeting.  If you’re always waiting around for motivation to show up, you’ll likely never reach your dreams. My student was right. You just gotta DO IT.

Dear Self,

 

Dear Mai,

You know, life can get overwhelming these days, we've been going through a tough time and I know that more often than not you're feeling hopeless. I am writing to you because I know that writing helps you calm your mind. It allows you to focus on things that you love and enjoy instead of all the bad things that are going on right now. Writing has long been your escape from the world since you can remember. When you write, you put yourself into another dimension that you forget about your own blues, uncertainties and frustrations. Writing inspires you and you really love it when inspiration kicks you. Who wouldn't anyway? After all, we all need a little inspiration to keep us on track and to keep us going~but sometimes inspiration is just so difficult to find. Too difficult that you just want to give up, let go of your dreams and just live life without purpose. You feel like you're stuck in a tiny bubble with no direction, just floating and waiting to vanish in the air. You have no where to go. Just like a stagnant water. A motionless murky puddle of water. You should know. You'd been there so many times. You are dreamer. You dream big. Your Daddy told you~ you are special and  you are capable of anything. That you can be whatever it is that you want to be. And you believe him. But there are days that you feel like it wasn't real. There are days that you feel like you failed him. That you're not capable of anything. That you couldn't be whatever it is that you want to be. I guess that's life. It's cruel. It's not always about unicorns and fairy tales. It's life. And no matter how tough you are it will hit you and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But I know you're tough. You're a warrior. You're a survivor. You always get up and fight for what you're worth. You keep moving forward and win. It doesn't matter how long will it takes for as long as you're moving. Always remember that every little step (no matter how little) is a step closer to your dreams. A step closer to success. So take chances. Take risks. Accept challenges. Accept failures and learn from it. Get out of your comfort zone. Get better. Do what you love. Do what makes you happy. Be inspired. Be an inspiration. Love. Love yourself. Don't just exist. Live. Live life the way you want. It's your life after all. Above all, Pray. Do your best and let God do the rest.

xoxo,

Mai

2019

Happy New Year people! I know it's long overdue but hey, better late than never. Again happy 2019! I hope you're all having a good year, cause I am. But still, I can't believe time has gone by so fast, two months have passed and I am still having difficulty workin' on my inconsistency. I know I've said this thousands of times already, sorry blog for not updating and for neglecting you. You know I am trying and I always want to write something but I am just too lazy, yeah lazy. I am really sorry. And with that being said, I am now back (again) and will share what I have been up to. So yeah,let see.

December
Let's start with the holidays. My first Christmas party in five years! Yey! We had it at Vikings Marikina and it was a blast!

Ubekeso Day

Bought a computer desk and just celebrated our 9th anniversary assembling it at home :) That's how mature couple celebrate anniversay people! Lol 

CHRISTMAS was spend with the fambam. We just ate out and spent quality time together. I didn't pay for everything this year, we go dutch. Haha! I can finally feel it, next time it will be their treat! Oh, can I just say I miss my munchkins so much! So adorable! 

January
New Year was spent at home cooking my first ever pizza! I felt like my cooking skills just leveled up.

Black Nazarene 2019 
I did it. Can't even explain how it felt after. Was able to finish it without complaining and being sungit and for Michael it's pure happiness 😂 He kept on kissing my head and told me after, very good ka 🤣😅🤣

P.S.
I am not a catholic but I respect his religion, faith and panata 😊 For the past years, was able to join him sa mga mass lang but never sa procession. This year we made it together 😍 Thank you God for keeping us safe

February 

Team building. Had ourselves pampered at Arruga Spa & Wellness garden for this quarter's team building. This place is a sure haven. Visit them people, check the link above for more info. 

Birthday

It's my birthday month! Happy birthday to me! I turned 32 this year, omg! But it's fine, age is just a number and hey, look at the photo above, do I look like I'm 32? Haha! Had an advance celebration with the team and celebrated my special day with the fambam. My heart is full.

That's it people, that how I spent the first quarter of 2019. And I am now a little busy working on a special project for my little munchkin's (Sav) 7th birthday. I am going to share it with you soon but that's all for now. 

 I really  hope I can update this blog as often as I can this year. I will try. I promise. Thank you for reading. Till next post people!

xoxo

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 04

It's been a while since I had my last #TheSundayCurrently post, I feel really bad for not updating this blog as much as I want to. I don't really have reasons, it's just that more often than not I feel sluggish and I feel like I don't really have anything to share cause nothing really exciting is happening in my life. Or maybe there are but I am just too lazy. I know. I know. I'm trying guys.

currently..

Reading
If you are reading my previous post, you knew that I have been spending most of my down time watching tv series and Kdramas--that means, I  may not have read a book since my last Sunday Currently post. Or maybe I did, I read a bit of 50 Shades of Freed then stopped halfway through cause I got destructed and yeah, lazy. I feel really guilty though about not reading a book because I am just too lazy and I am too lazy to do anything about it.

Writing
I really want to deal with my inconsistency better--whether it's about reading, sketching or writing, for this has been a constant problem for me. So now that I've got some inspiration to finally write again, I really wanted to build a strong writing habit and to do that, first--I have to be fully committed. And being committed means writing at least The Sunday currently on a weekly basis. Ok, I'll try. I'm writing my 4th now.

Listening
Dutifully listening to my student while she's reading an article. Multitasking at its finest cause time is everything and more.  Lols.

Thinking
Lunch. It's half past one and I am still here having classes. I am really starving and I can't stop thinking about food. I really can't wait to finish these classes and devour my much-anticipated lunch or whatever it is the boyfriend is cooking.

Smelling
Fried hotdogs and tuna. Obviously because the boyfriend is frying hotdogs and opened a can of tuna for lunch. Just the smell makes me even more hungry, I don't care if I'm having breakfast food for lunch (cause that's the easiest food the boyfriend can prepare) all I care is that I am fvckin' hungry--I could even eat a horse!

Wishing
Of having a work-free weekend. I just wish I could unplugged into work on weekends but I couldn't. I mean I could but I just won't. I'm crazy. I know. It’s often a pressure that I'm putting on myself, not necessarily something that I must really do. Argh, I should really work on that. I should make my weekend free time a priority.


Hoping
I just hope I could have a worry-free, nice and relaxing weekend.

Wearing
Striped tank top and comfy yellow short-shorts. I'm still in my sleep wear so obviously I haven't taken a shower yet. It's my most fave working-from-home perk. Lols.

Loving
The feeling of  having something to look forward to. I don't want to tell you guys yet cause I am still working and planning on it and I don't want to jinx it. If everything goes well, I promised, you'll be the first to know.

Wanting
To finish all these classes and give myself some free time not to think about anything, including work.

Needing
As much as I am feeling inspired right now, still-- I am  in desperate need of more inspiration--to write, read and design. So if you have a secret to inspiration that will forever keep me inspired to do the things I want to do, PLEASE do let me know. I know that some people just find lack of inspiration as an excuse for laziness (I do too) nevertheless, it's helpful to get things done, works for me all the time. Sometimes, we all need a little inspiration after all.

Feeling
I'm feeling inspired and I hope it will stay that way. So, I am really trying my best here to be consistent. I don't want to wake up the next morning extremely unmotivated again. Not again, not ever. I finally get to start writing again and I hope soon, I get to do all the things I wanted too. No more excuses. Just get them done. Pablo Picasso once said, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." it's a great creed to live by, so I gotta live with it.

GIRLBOSS: A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

There are so many things that I love doing but more often than not I spend most of my free time watching tv series. It may sound lazy but seriously, you have to believe me it's therapeutic. It keeps me sane. When I watch, I can totally turn off the world around me and get completely sucked into whatever it is that I am watching. It's a total escape for my brain. It's great feeling, trust me. Thank goodness there's Netflix. Netflix will just  dump the entire season all at once and voila, you can binge watch all you want. All day, all night. And speaking of binge watching, I binge-watched 13 Reasons Why a few weeks ago and it was so great but disturbing at the same time. And as much as I love to blog about it, I just feel that it isn't my story to tell, so if you guys are interested and you need help you can check this link to get more info about it. I couldn't really stop thinking about Hannah Baker, so after finishing the series I looked for another series to watch that will help me forget her, good thing Netflix released GirlBoss the next month and I so love it. It excites me and and motivates me to start doing things I like. It reminds of the things I have been neglecting. It inspires me. I really love it when inspiration kicks me. Who wouldn't anyway? After all, we all need a little inspiration to keep us on track and to keep us going but sometimes inspiration is just so damn difficult to find. Too difficult that you just want to give up, let go of your dreams and just live life without purpose. You feel like you're stuck in a tiny bubble with no direction, just floating and waiting to vanish in the air. You have no where to go. Just like a stagnant water. A motionless murky puddle of water. I should know. I'd been there so many times. I am dreamer. I dream big. My Daddy told when I was little that I am special and I am capable of anything. That I can be whatever it is that I want to be. And I believe him. But there were days that I felt like it wasn't real. There were days that I felt like I failed him. That I wasn't capable of anything. That I couldn't be whatever it is that I want to be. I guess that's life. It's cruel. It's not always about unicorns and fairy tales. It's life. And no matter how tough you are it will hit you and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. But the good thing is, you always have a choice to get up and fight for what you're worth. Keep moving forward and win. It doesn't matter how long will it takes for as long as you're moving. Always remember that every little step (no matter how little) is a step closer to your dreams. Take chances. Take the risk. Accept challenges. Accept failures and learn from it. Get out of your comfort zone. Get better. Do what you love. Do what makes you happy. Be inspired. Be an inspiration. Live life the way you want. It's your life after all, be your own boss. Just like what Sophia did. My gosh, my introduction is so long but all I just wanted to tell you guys is I love GIRLBOSS and I am going to blog about it. I have been reading a lot of reviews about it and while others are hating it, let me tell you guys why I love it.

GirlBoss is a Netflix original series consist of 13 episodes and was released April 21, 2017. Inspired by Sophia Amoruso's best-selling book. This series follows the rise of Amoruso's multi-million dollar fashion empire, Nasty Gal. And here are the 6 Reasons Why I love GirlBoss.

(First) just like Sophia, I love fashion. I want to be my own boss and just like her I am dreaming of having my own fashion empire in the near future. And watching it gives me tons of realization about me and my dreams. It inspires me to keep dreaming. Stay focused, go after my dreams and keep moving toward my goals. It won't be easy but it will be worth it.

(Second) I love Britt Robertson. She's so pretty and talented and has played all sorts of characters from quirky and sweet, to those with a harder edge. In the series, she plays the starring role of Sophia, a rebellious, broke anarchist who decides to start selling vintage clothing online. Brit really did a great job portraying nasty Sophia. Sophia really is something, I hate and I like her at the same time. LOLS.

(Third) I love her friendship with Annie, her bff played by Ellie Reed. I love how they care for each other and  how much they love and inspire each other and yes, I love the 'I love you in case I die' thing they tell each other when saying goodbye. I totally cried when they had a falling out and then realize how much they love and need each other. Definitely bff goals. Made me miss my bffs. I can never really imagine life without them.

(Fourth) I love Sophia's creativity. The way she alter clothes. How she re purpose old clothing's into entirely new ones is amazing. I see myself in her. We actually have lots of things in common, including our love of thrift stores and altering clothes. My love for thrift stores run so deep that I would rather spend long hours browsing through racks and racks of old and used stuff than shop in the mall. Alter them and called my own. That feeling, so fulfilling.

(Fifth) I love the outfits Sophia and Annie wore in the series. So stylish yet look so comfy and cool. I love dressing up, it  actually boost my mood and overall confidence. I love mixing and matching old and used fashion pieces. Dressing up doesn't really need to be expensive, it doesn't require you to have a closet full of branded and expensive clothes. It's all about expressing yourself, being you and your style and be comfortable with it. You don't dress up to impress and please other people, you dress up to please yourself and to feel great. And besides, life is too short to wear boring clothes.

(Lastly) I love how the show empower women, the title speaks for itself. Sophia is without a doubt an example of an empowered woman. She knows who she is, what she wants and isn't afraid to go and get it. She takes full responsibility for her life. She makes her own rules. She values her passion. She takes a stand and most of all, she empowers other women. She is an inspiration to us. If she can achieved her dreams why can't we?

So DREAM BIG. Big dreams are the reasons why the world changes for the better. BELIEVE. When you believe in yourself, other people believe in you, too. WORK ON IT. Because dreams don't work unless you do. Everything is not as easy as it seems but nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it and keep a positive mindset. Don't be afraid to fail because failure isn't a bad thing, it's essential to learning. Never give up. When the going gets tough, keep on going. Keep moving forward and keep pursuing your dreams. Eventually, you'll get there. It's exhausting and draining but the rewards are well worth it all.

So there you go people. I hope you like the post and somehow it helps and inspires you to dream big. And if you haven't seen the show, it's out now and you can binge-watch all the episode from the first season online. Watch and be inspired to follow your dream and to never give up. After all, a DREAM is a wish your heart makes. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving if you keep on believing- the dream that you wish will come true. (I just so love this song). So yeah, just DREAM, BELIEVE and WORK ON IT like a GIRLBOSS.

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 03

10 Ways You’re Still Being Immature and NOT a Real Man

Boredom got me like.. a little sentimental. I miss home but I don't want to be back yet because that means 'hello reality again'. I am not yet satisfied with my vacation and I still want more. Or let just say I am not ready yet to be back on duty. No,Mai doesn't feel like being SuperMai just yet.I am still enjoying my so called freedom and me time. My vacation so far, taught me a lot of things and gave me tons of realization bout life and what I have been missing. I miss Daddy.I miss home, with home I mean, the life I used to have when I was little. Me, Daddy, Mommy and my sisters. That was perfect. Everything was fine.Just like the way I always wanted. Our little home. Our little haven. And how I wish I could have one someday. Err, senti feels.And now, just by seeing Ian's dad at home doing chores makes me wonder how it feels like to have Daddy around. I just miss him. If you are reading my previous entries you probably know that I am a Daddy's girl and I am really proud of my dad. Why not? he's the best Daddy ever. I haven't met anyone like him, not even close. My Dad is the epitome of perfection, I am not saying this because he's my Dad but because he really was. I just feel so sad that he didn't have enough time to show the world how every Dad should be like. If every Dad would be like him, there will be less lonely/ miserable women and children in the universe. So girls, before you commit in any relationship, make sure that you are with a 'real man' to avoid hell of a life. And how would you know one? Don't worry, I got it covered. I googled some info here for you to read. And as for you 'boys' care to find out if you're man enough?!

10 Ways You’re Still Being Immature and NOT a Real Man

1. Not Accepting Responsibility

2. Not Dealing With Conflict, Friction, or Circumstances Effectively

3. Caring About What People Think

4. Not Attempting To Keep A Good Reputation or Image

5. Kissing People’s Asses and Seeking Approval

6. Acting Overly Macho and Faking Being A Real Man

7. Lacking Respect For Yourself and Others

8. Lacking High Standards

9. Not Carrying Yourself Well

and last but the least.., I highlighted it because just like the writer of this post, I also find this one very big and important. The boyfriend could pass everything but this one..and I want him to work on it. I can see he is trying but more often than not he tends to forget, so I am writing this as a reminder, not just for him but for the other guys out there. I know boys will be boys but errrr, doesn't it feel so good to be a real man--you think?

10. Lacking Self-Discipline and Self-Control

I saved the best for last because this is a big one. Immature guys who are still boys lack self-discipline and self-control. Immature guys only want to do the fun stuff and not the hard stuff. They’re not able to discipline themselves enough to get the results they want.

Self-control and self-discipline. They’re not able to tell themselves “no” or make themselves do something that may not be fun, but it will be beneficial – like working out, going to bed on time, getting up earlier, saving money, eating right, and straightening up their life.

They’re not able to control themselves and they lack the ability to stop when enough is enough – like gambling, drinking, partying, slacking off, eating, playing video games, watching tv, etc.

Real men are all about self-discipline and self-control.

They know how to say “no” to themselves and they do the things that are necessary for their life. They do the things that aren’t as much fun but will improve their life – like working out, going to bed on time, getting up earlier, saving money, eating right, etc.

They’re able to limit their actions and control themselves when it comes to gambling, drinking, partying, eating, etc. They know their limit.

They don’t screw up their lives and fall victim to a lack of self-control like immature guys who are still boys do.

They’re disciplined and in control of themselves. Better yet, they’re in control of their life and everything in it. They’re in control of the direction their life is headed. You should be as well.

Bonus: Real Men Go After and Get What They Want In Life

Immature guys who are still boys sit around and dream, wish, and hope about how their life might turn out. They imagine themselves having or doing what it is they really want, BUT THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!

They talk about it and say, “It sure would be nice” but they don’t take any steps in the right direction.

Real men don’t have the time to dream, wish, and hope because they’re out there making it happen! Every. Single. Day!

Real men go after and get what they want. Whether it’s a job, career, car, house, woman, etc.

If it’s something they want bad enough and it’s worth getting, they get up off their lazy ass and make it happen!

They figure out what they have to do, put a plan in place, execute the plan, and get what it is they want.

A REAL MAN STOPS AT NOTHING to have the life he wants and DESERVES.

So if you’re sitting around on your ass day in and day out saying “that sure would be nice” while watching TV, playing video games, and doing other low-value activities, it’s time for stuff to come to a halt. Figure out what you want. Make a plan on how you’re going to get it. Execute the plan. Get what you want.

There’s too many old guys today, WHO WERE JUST LIKE YOU, saying, “I wish I would have” instead of being able to say “I’m glad I got off my ass and made some shit happen for myself.”

*ctto*

SuperMai needs to be Mai once in a while

Most days I'm superwoman but sometimes even my cape needs dry cleaning, my super power needs a rest and me--to take a load off. Keep calm and forget that 'Superwoman to do list'. Apparently, superheroes have bad days too, they get tired, they need a break and yes--they're allowed to vent their emotions and frustrations just like what you guys normally do. Yes they do. We do. I do. Even Superman has to be Clark Kent sometimes as SuperMai needs to be Mai (whenever I feel like it?). You should understand that I am also vulnerable and weak--there are times that I feel weak to even take my ass out of bed, brush my teeth and take a brisk walk. I also get pissed off at everyone and everything around me for no reasons at times. I do have mood swings too. More often than seldom, there are days that I don't feel like flying anywhere, saving life and even giving a hoot about what the f*ck is going on. Like the hell I care. I don't give a d*mn (pardon my french).

The thing is, I am actually not what you and I  think I am. I am no superwoman. I am no superMai. I am just a girl, lying in her bed asking for a good sleep. I am a contradiction of myself and it is effin confusing. Sometimes I wonder if which of me is my true self. Crazy! So just in case you're  and I am forgetting about the 'real me' being human, well let me remind you, I am and I do have needs, dreams, problems and a life of my own to deal with. Forget saving the world! I am giving myself permission to have an off  and be me for now. Forget the cape, the superpower, the to do list. Forget the responsibility, the pressure to do them all and the belief  I could. Forget the weight of the world, feel free, be carefree and break away. Guess I need to take the pressure off me to perform at 'super' once in a while because this is what I need to survive--and yes to stay sane. 

Soundtrack to Mai-life

Raindrops keep falling on my head

BJ Thomas

Raindrops keep falling on my head

Just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,

Nothing seems to fit.

Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling...

So I just did me some talking to the sun

And I said, I didn't like the way, he got things done.

Sleeping on the job.

Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling...

But there's one thing, I know:

The blues, they send to meet me won't defeat me,

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep falling on my head,

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red,

Crying's not for me.

And, I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining,

Because I'm free

Nothing's worrying me!

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 01

So I just promised to update this so neglected blog of mine and with that I mean, now. Oh, well hurrah! Reading YayaDub's blog really made me miss writing so I guess yeah, this is it and hoping it will stay this way for good.  

Ok, here we go. Like what I've said, I have been reading Yaya's blog since last night. I have been trying to do it for quite sometime now, or should I say since she became a constant topic both all over the cyber and real world. However, can't view the blog, thought there was something wrong with it cause the blog link on her IG bio does not seem to work. Finally last night when I tried again, it worked and that's merely the reason why I am here, kickin' my lazy *ss off to write! I call that 'The Aldub Effect', HAHA. I love them so much (who doesn't anyway?) that I have to stalk them on twitter, facebook, instagram, youtube, blogs and everything. And by stalking, I mean digging for info. *malala na toh* Lols! Never been a fan of a loveteam this much and  sorry to say, but I really don't watch much of my country's local 'serye' (drama series) cause I find them really annoying and so predictable. But Eatbulaga's so called 'kalyeserye' is a breath of fresh air. Maybe because it's funny and light and Jose, Wally and Paolo's humor never cease to amaze me. Not to mention Aldub's 'kilig feels' got me like, ohmygee-I-wanna-fallinlove-again *sorry boyfriend* haha. Oh well, going back to Yaya's blog- while reading, I came across  this post, which is called 'THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY'. It was a link up made by siddathornton and like Yaya I've also thought of joining the bandwagon because.. why not? Thought it is a good start for me to update my blog, do some real writings and have my mind off from worrying and over thinking stuff that I don't know how to handle anymore *sigh*. And besides it so happens that today is Sunday so here it is, my very first and hopefully not the last Sunday Currently post. :)

 CURRENTLY... 

Reading

Paper Towns by John Green. The story made me feel like I am living a teenage dream haha. Read a review that said the movie is thematically the same as the book, despite its many changes, wonder what changes are those.. I haven't seen the movie yet cause I am still waiting for a good copy on torrent, lols. The Fault in Our Stars got me drowned into my own pool of tears while watching it so I am quite excited how Paper Towns (movie) will get me like while watching and after I watched it. And besides I am looking forward how Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff will do justice to their characters as Margo and Quentin. Nevertheless, I love Jonh Green as much as I love Nicholas Sparks. Seriously, these two have something in common- they both write about desperate, hopeless, forbidden love and they are really good at making me cry.

Writing

My very first *and hopefully not the last* The Sunday Currently entry

Listening

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough by Charice. This is one of my favorite songs, it was originally sung by Patty Smyth and Don Henley but I must admit I am loving Charice's rendition of this song more, I just love how intense yet calm her voice sounded like here. So heartfelt and  relaxing that it can even put me to sleep. 

Thinking

You gotta be kidding me? I actually am writing this so I can somehow get my mind off thinking but then since you're asking me, fine. I am currently thinking how to spend the day without my mind thinking of a millions things. There are so many random thoughts running through my head and I don't even know to get rid of them. I feel like they'll explode anytime soon so- next.

Smelling

Indescribable smells of nuts, nips and raisins that I am munching right now. (Pasalubong the boyfriend gave me last night)

Wishing

For a miracle? Hmm, a much deserve vacation soon.

Hoping

Get to spend and enjoy my whole hard earned money on me, myself and I. No rent, bills, debts and tuitions to pay. How cool is that? One day. I hope.

Wearing

Blue tank top and a pink sporty short-shorts. My typical pambahay fave.

Loving

My lappy, my Mixed nuts/nips/raisins snack and my Spotify playlist. Keeping me company while waiting for my next class.

Wanting

To avail The Old Spaghetti House's unli pasta and pizza promo now. As in right now. Cravingsss!

Needing
Mai is badly in need of an escape plan. A great and effective one.

Feeling

Feel like I am running out of steam. I am Sleepy and stressed and burnt out and exhausted and tired. But the good thing is I am trying to fight these nega feels by entertaining positive and happy thoughts. I can do it!

Have a happy weekend y'all! I miss you. See you Sunday. 

xoxo Mai
