I can see us lost in the memory

What a Friday! Grabe. So, we went to Fisher Mall to look at this printing shop but we ended up not ordering or buying anything because it was so meh. On a normal day, Fisher Mall is like 25-ish to 30 minutes (worst!) away from Mezza but today it took us like 1 1/2 hours to reach Mezza! I was so close to peeing myself in the car! The holiday rush is so wild! I have plans on the 20th and the 21st but ughhh omg I hope it works out.

ANYWAY, before that, we went to RobMag because, well, go-to mall. My mom was adamant to buy 200 grams (??) of coffee White Rabbit from Aji Ichiban so okay we went. BUT MOSTLY SHE WANTED TO BUY A NINTENDO SWITCH - WHICH SHE DID HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH she got the Limited Edition Legend of Zelda pa! It was so beautiful!!!! Naglalaro lang talaga sya ng Solitaire! What a cutie patootie!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeaaaaaah, I also had to fix something about my plan. I have the 3799 Platinum plan and it's been overcharging me like my monthly bill became 41**. My mom was ???? so I had to fix it. Okay what else OMG OKAYYYY finally found Takis here in the PH! Okay so that's a long-ish story.

Last August, we had a cousins trip in Singapore. Around April, my cousins & Yo were talking about going to SG just us cousins. Last year, we also went and stayed for like a week but it was the complete Macaraig fam, so the plan was just us cousins this 2025. I wasn't committing to anything because I thought I would be doing residency come August (dooooi) so I told them to just send me photos and videos. AUGUST CAAAAAME, Yo went to SG, so did our cousin from Australia. They videocalled on a Sunday and I was the only cousin missing!!!!! My mom felt so bad for me. She said sana she made me go na din. I was just feeling FOMO huhuhuhu. The next day (so, Monday), my mom was booking me a plane ticket in Singapore Airlines HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA tas she said, "okay gawin mo na na 14-day trip." I said, "Ma, okay lang kahit mga 1 week lang." I wasn't paying for anything so I kinda felt guilty but she insisted I make it 14 days and enjoy myself. HUHUHUHUHUHUHU I'm never beating the favorite child allegations hehe. So, anyway, by Wednesday, Macaraig cousins were complete in SG! It was so much fuuuuuuun! Thanks parents for my trip! I can't wait for other trips with the Macaraig bunch! (ALSO it was during this SG trip that we found out Chobani is Australian!!! Medj mindfucked kami HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA)

ANYWAYYYYY, during that time, we got addicted to Takis! And we've been looking for it here in the PH. Raissa and Patrice found Takis in Marketplace but there's none in Marketplace RobMag. BUT TADAAAAAAAAH it's available in RobMag Supermarket.. for a whooping PHP189! It's kinda pricey because it's not the big one naman but oh well.

Then we went to Kultura at SM Dasma because there are going to be balikbayans from my mom's side and she bought stuff to give. There's a fucking brownout so we didn't have dinner there. We ate at Abaniko in Silang (my mom was saying "Pamaypay" tas Abaniko pala name nung resto HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA) GOOD SHIT GOOD SHIT! 10/10 would recommend!

Below are my charmera photo dump for today's shenanigans!

Saw this and decided to try it!

My mom enjoying her limited edition Switch Lite haha

The following photos are from Abaniko:

The food was freaking bomb!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, so I'm also currently reading Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins-Reid! I've read 64 novels so far and I'm trying to at least read 70 before the year ends. Wish me luck!

Come, come into my world

Okayyy, so I went to Malolos with my parents today. Although, my dad went to laco 'cause I think 3rd longs? I'm not sure. But, my mom and I roamed around Robinsons Malolos and omgggg super dami na new restos! Like there's Manam na, Llaollao, Ramen Nagi, Botejyu, etc etc! But few lang tech stores like there's no DataBlitz. As an inggitera, my mom's looking for a Switch Lite because.. she wants to play solitaire. I AM NOT KIDDING. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH she wants to buy a Switch to play solitaire. She saw me playing with Yo's (our) switch (Stardew Valley) and she wants to play din daw but Solitaire nga. Actually, she saw the Switch in my room. Like naka-ilang paramdam/parinig sya, di ko pinapansin. "Ano ba yung nasa room mo na game?", "Meron kang parang game dun sa room mo, yung nakapatong sa ref mo, ano ba yun?" Tas nun pala.. may modus HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

Then, we ate at Manam then had coffee at SB. Tas visited the Pasalubong Center! Fewer nalang sya compared with the products they used to have in abundance like 5-6 years ago. Wala lang! I used to buy frozen fish ball there BECAUSE OMG IT TASTES SO LEGIT TALAGA. Like lasang dagat HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA basta it was so good! 

Anyway, Charmera dump for Malolos trip today! But I think the photos came out in descending order (from the last leg of our day trip to the first few things we did (like breakfast), well I'm lazy to rearrange and I just want to document shit so that I have something to look back on. Memrizzzzzzz haha!

The following are establishments I used to see a lot a few years back:

This was the nearest "emergency" place we go to when we need to buy like school stuff

If iirc, there's a seafood buffet place Marian and I loved located there

Idk why the date says 12/08 when it's taken today ughhhh

Anyway, I'm enjoying documenting stuff especially since the charmera isn't bulky to bring and it's so easy to snap shit. It just occurred to me that my parents are getting old and I really want to take a bajillion photos of them + documenting life with them so it's easier to recall the memories in the future. 

Hope this might be the last one 'cause I'm not fooling anyone

I think I'm going to let it go. I think 3 months is enough, right? I guess it's not for me no matter how much I want it.

Here's to hoping for a clearer path and better decisions and happier times.

Told you who I am and what it is that's not my fault

 Okayyyy so this is a Charmera dump from December 5-6!

December 5, I dated myself for a bit at Public Eatery because I had a massive craving for Fish and Chips. So, I decided to get one for lunch and I also bought coffee from Candid. I was able to finish the novel I was reading (Discontent by Beatriz Serrano and omg - 5 stars motherfucker! The protagonist was a 32-year-old female who's, well, sick of faking everything and being so unsure if she's contented with her job, her life in general. Basically, she's going through the motions but she's not sure if she's happy. I loved it. I highlighted a shit ton of paragraphs from the novel because it was so spot on with what I'm currently feeling) ANYWAYYYYY, so I was able to finish that novel while I was eating my fish and chips and drinking my coffee.

Sof and Jerick also went home to Mandaluyong SO YEHEYYYYYYY we decided to meet up! Grabe missed them so much!

On December 6, met up with Jodie at Mega Mall (Cooper's) to finally watch Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, saw Sof, Jerick, Nanay, and Andrea for a bit. Mini chichi lang. ANYWAYYYYYY, we bought these JJK cat ears plushie thing from Filbar. My first pull was Nanami. When we were talking, Jodie was saying na fuck sana hindi si Haibara etc etc. HER FIRST PULL WAS HAIBARA HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA so we decided to buy another one because we wanted to get either Gojo or Geto!!!!!! My 2nd pull was Toji (which I decided to give Yo) and Jodie's was Shoko HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA hay. Then she treated me at Sodan for dinner YAYYYYY

Grabe na talaga traffic and shit pag Christmas season. We started trying to book Grab at around 10:57 pm, we were able to get a driver and leave Mega Mall at around 1:30 am. Mother eff?? I was able to go home at around 2:25 am! Grabe talaga. Pero anyway, I don't regret anything! I CAN'T WAIT FOR JJK SEASON 3!!!!!!

SO good catching up with my friends! What a weekend!
