#dumpy dump

feb 28 • binondo, mnl 🏮

giezl just messaged us one time if we wanted to go to binondo then gusto nya commute, and as someone who doesn’t commute at all anymore (as a grab girlie) sabi ko anong amats nya pero gusto nya lang so we met in dr. a santos lrt station in sucat pero syempre ako nag grab ako kasi i had my period and super init and my place is not commute friendly (daming sinabi) and di ko lang matangap how expensive my grab is that afternoon but ok (wala naman ako magagawa tsaka nareklamo ko na yun)

then yun nga we tried lrt and bumaba ng carriedo station and just walked going to binondo, tapos we’re all so amazed (well me and giezl) kasi we haven’t tried exploring manila talaga, lalo na yung univ naman namin ay di sa manila hahahhaa kaya aliw na aliw kami sa maynila??? and then yun we ended up eating so much kuchay dumplings, we didn’t have any thing in our list eh on the spot talaga kami nag-sesearch hahaha!!

we ended our food crawl in sincerity in lucky chinatown, na di na naman rin namin nakain, tinake out nalang namin, then we went to joanna’s place (as usual) and we ended up eating the take out there + tita’s lumpiang togue while watching confessions of shopaholic, by around 1am we all decided to go home na

ang masasabi ko lang ay, busog na busog ako and it was tiring but super fun!! and for all of the kuchay dumplings and xiao long bao na nakain namin, kamuntikan na kami mag-chinese hahahaha pls ✊🏼 xie xie nalang sa lahat! 🥢

look at the way yoshiki strokes hiraku’s face … it’s no good for my heart I Swear

chasing the blues away

first week of august 🎐

this last weekend— i remember hating little prince before because we were required to read it and try to decipher what it meant on a deeper level, but then reading snippets of it now, it got me intrigued, and i want to read it fully, just because i want to not because it’s required, ganon siguro talaga eh no? we usually try to avoid it or hate it when it’s being forced down on you, or baka ako lang kasi naturally matigas ulo ko

ps: isn’t our baby so cute? i woke up last saturday seeing him squished between my parents

pov: katabi mo ako tapos ayoko pa matulog

it has been exactly a year and since i think i haven’t posted this, here’s how my bestie’s day went 👰

• it was such a busy busy busy day, imagine i didn’t have any other solo photos, kahit kami ni bestie (the bride) we never thought of having a photo na kami lang!! we just realized it when the wedding was all done (the mirror photo is my only good outfit photo, sadly)
• all the bride’s entourage just met that day (except me and joanna) but we got really really close to the point na sinabihan na kami ng photographer na “matagal na kayo magkakakakilala? kasi ang kulit nyo eh” hahahaha more chikka more fun!
• i am at awe seeing my bestie in her wedding gown i mean i was with her naman during all the fitting but it hits different knowing she was about to tie the knot!!!
• kinda aloof when all the entourage was asked to stay in one place kasi makikita ko na kuya ni groom na i had a short live fling? i don’t think it was a fling but an encounter but syempre at the time i didn’t know he was the older brother ng then boyfriend ni bestie— it was kinda awkward for me because he was the best man and i was the maid of honor!!
• when i was walking in the aisle, paulit ulit in my mind wag ka madadapa, wag ka tatanga tanga, because my gown is too long
• the wedding is such an emotional roller coaster!! i was crying the whole fucking time, most of the people was crying and i am glad the couple was surrounded by the right kind of people who loves them
• during the best man and maid of honor speeches, niloloko ako ng friends ko para raw kami two couple sa harap bakit raw di nalang kami ng older brother to make it ultimate besties, i just can’t believe this is going to be lifetime inside joke namin hay, old me is such a menace (but i won’t take this blame alone bc tbh he’s more malandi than i am hahaha)
• the wedding party ended early? it was nice lang kasi para talaga kami naging mag friends ng most of the entourage! i guess ganon talaga when you pick the right kind of friends, there’s a chance na everyone will be friends with each other?
• now me and the college friends will be staying in the main house of the venue + the highschool friends of the bride, while the couple will be staying in a hotel with their fam, so we had a “after party” kind of inuman sesh
• nung pabalik na kami sa house, body spent because we’ve been on the move super early that day + wearing high fucking heels the whole day, gustong gusto na namin mag shower and be on our pjs! pero eto na nga, so it was a garden venue and it’s been raining the whole day so yung soil soft? yun nga inisip ko when buying heels kasi ayoko na mastuck sya sa soil when i walk, i end up picking a heel na hindi kitty heel, but then when we were all going to the main house na, one heel got stuck in a draining grate!!!!!! and it all went so fast, i tried getting it off but my other heel got stuck in the soil???? and i— fell, butt first!!! girl super embarassing!!!
• i was stuck there, hahahaha yung ibang officemate ni bride nakita pa ako hahahaha tapos una pang tumulong sakin kesa sa friends ko at kapatid ko is the brother of the bride hahahaha!!! i feel so helpless kasi i can’t take off my heels since it has straps with lock hahahaha!!! my god it was my fear to fell pa naman during the wedding BUT atleast the wedding was over when it happened!
• my friend took off the heel’s straps and help me get unstuck and then sooo when i stood up my gown which is white is now all ruined with mud hahahaha and i had to walk with mud on my feet and on my butt!! so fucking crazy hahahaha god thank you kasi the older brother didn’t see it because that’s gonna be extra embarassing
• showered, and then changed to pjs! and we had drinks with the bride, and her highschool friends! narealize ko lang na parang ang dali lang rin talaga magjive ng everyone hahahaha!
• it was such a whole tiring week, yes week, because we’ve been doing MOH/bridesmaid duties days before d-day but emotionally, i’m just so happy, i’m overwhelmed with all the love i have for the couple and my friends!!! hay, my heart is happy and they just celebrated their first anniv! ✨

some thingz stuck in the rollz 🎞️ — just incase y’all missed these dumps na bahala na kayo mag decipher

i am freaking drained— i am now running on low battery 🪫

i feel like my energy’s about to run out, paano naman kasi sunod sunod lahat ng ganap, i got back from our siquijor trip last monday night, we had a late night flight so we landed here around 12? and had to stay a several minutes in the plane since wala maparkan yung plane, then my brother end up calling me saying na sumunod na ako sa poblacion once i get off the plane? my cousin from the states is home and they were all drinking when i got back here in manila, ayoko na sana because i’m so tired and sad that my vacation is done but the people pleaser in me got me booking grab going to poblacion rather than home?? went to tambai with my big ass luggage?? kala ko di ako iinom but i had to take the opportunity to drink my ammeretto sour, and we finished and got home by 3am ish

the next morning, (tues morning) my fam and my cousin from the states had an early brunch so i had to wake up early!!! after having brunch i worked in my another cousin’s place kasi kinagabihan mag poblacion na naman kami!! i worked nang mainit ang ulo ko because i’m so tired!! and i was in luteal phase too this time so i’m weirdly unstable and moody— we end up bar hopping that night, from el chupacabra, polilya, fun roof and finished it off with this resto bar sa tambai sana but it was already closed that time, so imagine we finished by 3am again!

and imagine that this is on a weekday, in a middle of the week so i have work the next morning! buti wednesday and thursday is rest day, not sure if i’m just tired but i’ve been sleeping early like around 1am which is not my usual? baka naacquire ko during my siquijor trip with lou kasi aga ko natutulog non and i tend to wake up that time na happy, hay i miss that pero yun nga maaga me nakakatulog lately but maybe i’m just drained and tired and sad

and now it’s a friday….they’re all talking about going out again since it’s my cousin’s last night here in manila, kaso naman i just had my period and everything hurts??? i’m so not in the mood to socialize and party?? di ko na kaya, i swear 😭 my 30ass is fucking tired

sunday—

told my bestie that i need to go out and some companionship last week so we decided to schedule and meet yesterday

i know we’re both busy and all— her with work and her wedding planning, and me, with work and all the crying and being sad about almost everything (i am somehow in my sad girl era) so this really bought me back to life

we decided to eat in wild flour and that’s when we shared our months and months due of life updates— like yes, we chat most of the time but when it comes to life updates we usually choose to talk about it personally, she told me about family issues and work and i told her about the guys who has been screwing my mind recently

i was telling her how tired and how sad i am of what happened and i fucking almost cried but since it’s us it’s actually more like laughing-teary eyed type of thing,

basta i was just ranting to her and just sharing everything and spilling my heart out and she just listened, and then i told her how sad i am thinking that i wasted so much energy on someone tapos di na naman nagwork, and then she told me, “hindi nasayang, kasi you get to learn something” and i— ooped! haha! kasi she made me realize that i get to learn nga talaga, i get to discover more things about myself in the duration so siguro nga, it’s not sayang

and then we craved for our usual fave coffee which is the sea salt latte from because coffee we walked from wild flour to the cafe, but we first visited zara since i was trying to budol her to buy something kaso di nya bet yung fit ng skirt she tried

we talked for hours and hours again, until it was time to go home

this and the time i spent alone last saturday really made me feel good and better, so i’m really thankful for this weekend 🔆

and oh yes, we kinda took time to do content, i guess we’re in our content era hahaha! idk if we can be consistent about it but let’s see!

saturday—

had my lashes done because i was sad and i wanted to look pretty, then went to bgc to have some badly needed me time, it feels like it’s been a while since i dated myself so it was so fucking refreshing to be out again and just enjoy my day alone, i was able to try st. louis cafe for the first time and it was okay, wore my pink dress which is incredibly wrinkly at the of the day because it’s linen but idc, and then went home and took a long ass cold bath to end the day 📖 ☕️ 🌧️ 🔖 🪽
