What the hell?? SKZ announced world tour coming soon just the other day. Last night they released the schedule. They could’ve said very very soon, as in the tour starts next month!

PH excluded. Like most kpop acts recently.

OLATS PILIPINS.

Now, where to go on this tour?💸

Btw, why are they suddenly touring? I’m still recovering from the BTS ticketing😂

I’m coming for ya OT7

OMG I’m going to see the 7! Not the seats I desired but at this point, I will take any than nothing! My TPA’s did not work, I was getting desperate so I had to queue myself. I finally got Sophia and I’s tickets for Floor standing! I badly need to lose weight to stand for 3+ hours😫

Thankful for the additional 3rd day💜

Ticket war lost

They’re not even my ult group but.. why on earth did it make me feel so sad💔

Bloodbath

..ticketing war starts in less than 48hrs for Asia! How the hell did I end up in this fandom?💜

Ciao 2025!

Woah! Its the last day of the year again😱 Surely time flies by when I’m having so much fun! Incredibly thankful for the year that was, 2025 was not perfect but it has many perfect moments🥰 I’m immensely thankful for every single thing and experience, good or bad. Recapping my year with 2 memorable photos each month! Happy new year 2026! God, I thank you!🙏

January

Sophia and I became full blown Stray Kids fans this year! So fortunate that our Hongkong trip fell on their concert days, so we were able to attend our 2nd Dominate concert!❤️

First trip of the year was Hongkong!

February

Went on a winter holiday with fam, my mother and sister in Korea!

It was Bellie’s first family day at school! She danced so well and played the games, she enjoyed it so much!

March

We went on a cruise on husband’s birthday!

Husband’s birthday treat❤️

April

Spontaneous Bohol trip with the fam!

We were able to attend J-Hope’s concert! Our kpop hearts were happy!

May

Sophia performed in a benefit concert along with her school chorale, I’m so proud of her!

Sophia looking so beautiful and so much like a grown up on her batch night❤️

June

Sophia has graduated from elementary!😭

Just the four of us went to Korea to celebrate Sophia’s graduation! Lee Know was announced as a Gucci ambassador while we were there so this trip was special for me❤️

July

Unexpected but so thankful for our new fam car❤️

It was Bellie’s first ballet recital! So proud of our youngest❤️

August

We went on a trip to Taiwan! It was our first time in Kaohsiung and we missed it so much, especially the night markets❤️

Celebrated my birthday in Taiwan and husband treated me in a delicious luxury buffet❤️

September

Celebrated our 21st year of togetherness this year❤️

Husband and I did couple tattoos and pierced our ears🤩husband even did a half sleeve tattoo earlier! We are in our tough rebel era I guess🤪

October

Jolo turned 7 this year! We had a simple lunch with the fam celebrating his, Sophie and Bellie’ birthdays❤️

We went to Korea for the sole purpose of attending Stray Kids’ encore concert! Sophia and I had a blast!

November

We had a dinner at Helm! It was recently announced as 2 Star Michelin, food was amazing!

We travelled to the US and went on Star of the Seas! It was the best and we’ve been missing it so much❤️

December

We went to Texas after our cruise! It was so cold when we were there🤪 We’re missing the weather and the food!

Sophia, with the other church choir members had a caroling in my in-laws new house. It was nice to see the kids having fun!

I had a major bleeding mid year when my Mirena expelled and had huge clots and blood loss. I found a new OB Gyne and started on new medication. This was the most downside of my year, and it kinda ruined my mood during our Korea trip. But I’m most thankful, I got through it and I’m still here braving through the uterine disease I’ve been fighting for years.

2025, one of my best years, gave me so many memories to keep and cherish for the years to come! Thank you🙏

Was it

..too random tho? I haven’t posted for a very long time. Kpop happened😅 and well, life too.. Praying we all get by in this very unpredictable world🙏

My tatay

..passed today.

I remember him as a thoughtful father, always asking how are we doing, to always take care of the kids.

He was 80. He may lived a long life, but it was a life full of struggles and regrets. He always said he regrets a lot of things, so I do not want to live my life like him. Then again, life hasn’t been fair for everyone.

Still, he was a good man. And this epitaph is exactly how he was.

Goodbye Tatay. Until we meet someday.

Welcome 2024!!!

For my special child

As I look into my child’s eyes
Brimming with hope and delight
A soul pure, innocent and shy
A bright moonlight on a night sky

How I yearn for him to speak
His words and thoughts, I always seek
Oftentimes I feel selfish
Life before him, I long and reminisce

Many times I question myself why
I have such heavy burden in my life
See this is not for the fainthearted
Extra love and care he ever wanted

He has a lifetime to learn I know
Like the rest of us, although
He’s making me wait a little longer to mend
Please say it’ll be worth it in the end

Yet in such a short period of time
He made us all humble and wise
He turned me into a better person
Maybe he’s my life’s purpose all along

As I look into my child’s eyes
Brimming with hope and delight
I can see clearly now why
Heaven sent me an angel in disguise


I made this poem as advocacy material for my CSN short course.🙂
