Hello!

I know I have been MIA again for quite a while. I'm so sorry about that. I have just been busy going out with friends and family the past three weeks, and I am still struggling with my mental health, so whenever I think about posting, I am already exhausted.

Anyway, here's what I have been up to to get you up to speed for the time I have not been here.

First, I went to visit my best friend and celebrated their son's first birthday! We had fun and games. I even participated, and the group that I am in won!

Second, I went to the highlands of Tagaytay City, with some of my southie friends and Chesca's kids, to spend a night at a vacation spot. We spent the night playing games and exchanging gifts, and in the morning, we had breakfast and had cake to celebrate Dess, Lei, and Nica's birthdays this month.

And lastly, I spent the last Sunday with my sister and watched the screening of Wicked: For Good in IMAX. It was just the two of us, which we have not done in quite a long time. She bought me dinner, and I bought her trinkets and snacks, and coffee. We had a lot of fun!

It was so refreshing to see all of my people on various occasions, and I think that is really what I needed to boost my dopamine levels. It is so nice to catch up with everybody. ☺️

So, reader, if you are feeling a bit sad, and you feel like missing a lot, go out there, be with your friends and family! I am sure they'd be happy to see you, too, and be honored to spend time with you! It's time you made the effort to make up for the lost time and do some catching up with your people.

Until next time! 💖
