Dear 2023

Dear 2023,

Well, that was fast. Anyway, I just want you to know that you aren't my best year, but you aren't the worst either. Let's just say that you made me cry a lot. And I will never ever forgive you for that. Just kidding. We're already even. I honestly want to thank you because of that. Because you made me cry numerous times, you also made me want to go on adventures. You made me want to go to places that I've never been before. You made me realize how helpful Google Maps is. That's why I'm welcoming 2024 with an empty pocket. Just kidding. It seems that all the money that I saved in the past few years I spent them all with you. But that's okay. At least my stomach is full, as well as my phone gallery. 

I had many plans before you even began. I will do this. I will pursue this. I have to take this route. But what happened? It only goes to show that no matter what my plans are, in the end, God's will will always prevail. And who am I to complain? I only want what God wants for me. 

2023, I hope that you take with you all the drama, the hurt, and the pain that you made me experience. I hope that I learned all the lessons that you tried to impart on me and will carry them all with me to face another year. Please don't leave me with all the baggage that I badly want to unload. Please, take them all with you. Please also take with you all the bitterness and insecurities that I felt this year. Help me welcome 2024 with a clean and light heart. 

Thank you for all the adventures that we've shared. I'm going to miss you. Well, not that much. I mean, not all of your days. Only the memorable ones. 

Love, 

Me

Dear 2024,

I'm not asking for much. But please, go easy on me. I've already had too much in the past 3 years. Actually, in the past decade of my life, you could be the game changer, you know. You could be my best year. You could be the year that I've been waiting for. Be the best that you can be. And in return, I am going to be the best that I can be. If you could slow down a bit, that would be great. Thank you. 😊 Let's have fun and go on more adventures, shall we? 

Lord, Your will be done. 


Love, 

Me

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The

Sat With Ree: Jab We'll Done

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

Sat With Ree: Westlife The Twenty Tour

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop
