Being Grateful

Every morning when I wake up, and every night before I go to sleep, I make it a point to thank the Lord. I’m grateful for the gift of a new day, for the countless blessings that come my way, for the guidance I receive, and for the love and support of my family and friends. Truly, I am thankful for everything in my life.

Recently, I received wonderful news about my promotion. It feels amazing to be recognized, and although more is expected of me now, I welcome the challenge wholeheartedly. Work has become busier, but I genuinely enjoy the pace and the constant opportunity to learn something new. This experience reminds me that hard work truly does pay off.

Month full of life - MAY

May has always been special to me—not just because it's my birth month, but because it’s filled with moments that mean a lot. This month, we remember Grandpa on his death anniversary, celebrate my partner’s birthday, our anniversary, and my nephew's birthday. So much to be grateful for.

Life has been a whirlwind lately—but in the best way possible. I recently got promoted, and honestly, I didn’t see it coming. It feels amazing to be recognized, and I’m beyond thankful that my hard work is finally paying off.

Now that my partner is finally here with me, we've been binge-watching series together—something we really missed during the long-distance days. It’s such a simple thing, but it brings so much joy.

2nd month of 2025

February is almost over—time flies so fast!

Just a quick update: My partner is finally with me, and we are home—home in each other's arms. I’ve always believed that home is where your heart feels happy and loved.

After being apart for so long, we're still in the adjustment phase. Nearly six years is a long time, and a lot has changed—our perspectives, our decision-making—but we’re making it work. It’s all about finding our balance.

Lately, we've been bonding over food, exploring new places, and embracing new adventures.

Happy New Year! 🎉 Cheers to 2025!

Wishing you all the best in the year ahead. Things are a bit hectic on my end right now, but I’ll be back soon with more updates. Stay tuned! 😊

Love: The Rollercoaster Ride

Love is no walk in the park—it’s hard work, plain and simple.

It’s unpredictable. One moment, you’re in tears, and the next, you’re laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Love has a way of making you feel every emotion, even the ones you never knew existed.

Love can leave you undecided, torn between choices. It can make you stronger, yet it teaches you to be gentle. Love has a funny way of making you feel foolish sometimes, pushing you to do things you never imagined you were capable of.

It’s a wild rollercoaster ride—full of ups and downs, twists and turns.

Maybe the secret isn’t to fight it or overthink it, but to embrace it. Enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts.

Are We Drifting Apart?

Why do I feel like we’re no longer on the same page?

Are we slowly drifting away from each other?
Do small things always have to spark such big anger?
Do I even still know you?

I’m starting to grow tired of our fights. What seems monumental to you feels like something we could simply talk through to me.

Is this the cost of loving an overthinker?

Everyone knows I love with all my heart. But if you can’t see or feel it, maybe it’s because I love in the only way I know how.

We’re too old to keep arguing. Instead, shouldn’t we focus on finding solutions and cherishing the moments we have together?

Hormones change are not fun

I’m at that stage in life where my hormones have decided to go through major changes. I often feel weak, and it seems like I'm always getting sick.

Turning the big 4-0 brought some serious, unexpected shifts. My vision has become blurry, and it feels like every part of my body aches—especially my knees, joints, back, and shoulders. My metabolism has taken a hit too, slowing down drastically.

Since I’m a bit of a late bloomer, I’m just now starting to build my career in the corporate world. My colleagues are younger, full of energy, and while I keep my age private, I just want to be seen as an equal, not as someone "older" or weaker.

It’s honestly not easy working alongside younger people with such stamina while I’m doing my best to keep up. These hormonal changes make it even tougher, as I often show up to work not feeling my best, just hoping to get through the day without any issues.

My periods have become irregular, and it’s definitely frustrating. I’m sharing this as a way to express what I’m going through, and I really hope this menopausal journey can be a bit kinder to me.
