It’s kind of crazy how time speeds up and just like that, it’s already the end of the first half of the year. How did that happen? Just six months ago, I was promising myself a lot of things: to always say yes, to try new things, and to be a little more adventurous in

Future Lola
I still can’t get my head around the fact that my friends are getting engaged, married, and having babies. But I suppose it’s only inevitable since I am turning 30 in less than a month (30!). Just last Sunday, my best friend had a baby shower for her baby girl. We’re all so excited to

Turning point
From the looks of this grainy picture, you can tell this was a long time ago. d: More than a decade ago, to be exact. Freshman year. In the new high school building up in the mountains of Antipolo. I have in my hand a glass of what I’m assuming to be iced tea. My
