Past 5 p.m. I shall now ignore non-urgent work messages.

Happy Friday! 🥳🤸♀️🌟

This bowl of corned beef hash is not something to write home about, but that side dish of pickled ampalaya is!

I thought it was made of cucumber, at first, but I was amazed to discover that ampalaya, when done right, actually makes for a good pickled veggie.

@liztai I tried using Notion as a replacement for Evernote, but I didn't like the look and "feel" of it.

Excuse me!?! 52 freakin' degrees?!?

@teacherbuknoy @moonwalkerwiz Heng De surely made a lot of money from us Pinoys. 😂

@teacherbuknoy Tawang-tawa ako! 😂

Gosh, that dalgona coffee trend brings back lockdown memories!

@moonwalkerwiz @teacherbuknoy Holy crap, face shields! 😂😂😂

I'm picky when it comes to fruits, which is a tragedy considering the many varieties in this tropical country where I live. My usual faves are ripe mangoes and pineapple. That's why I'm so glad to discover my love for mangosteen, which now makes it to my top three faves. 🥰

How about you? What's your top three fave fruits?

I'm surprised (and also glad) that the Philippines is not on this list.

@youronlyone
Hahaha! I get what you mean by moving to rural areas. I still entertain that thought once in a while, but perhaps not so rural. I still need some semblance of urban life, but yeah, city life can get exhausting sometimes.

@dyownie

@youronlyone I almost gave up on it (though it really is taking me a while to finish the entire series), thinking it's another old-lovers-reuniting cliche. But I'm happy to discover that at the heart of is as well is a love letter to Jeju's female divers.

Nakakaiyak yung isang K-drama episode na pinanood ko kanina, tapos bigla na lang ako napa-add to cart then check out sa Lazada.

Napa- "What just happened?!?" ako. 😂

@dyownie Welcome to Samdal-ri! Though it's taking me a while to finish it pero maganda naman.

Balitaan mo ko pag mapa-retail therapy ka rin. Haha!

What's the name of this Pokemon? 😁

Contemplating on getting a more affordable planner with weekly spreads. I wanna see if I can maintain a habit of daily micro-journaling/mood tracking before committing to the Midori 5-Year Diary.

Eyeing either of these planners by local artists Mia de Lara (left) and Raxenne Maniquiz (right).

It's here!!! And it's so pretty!!! 😍😍😍

#Midori #journaling

I just hope that by the time I decide to commit to the Midori, the design I like is still available. 😅
