THREE different ballet companies are performing Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker this December in Manila! It's just funny how things work out. Last year, I recall there were 2 Cinderella productions going into Christmas, one in theater and another in ballet.

So pretty, but so expensive! It costs more than 3x what I paid for my 24oz vacuum flask from a lesser known brand. And I thought my flask was already on the expensive side!

I've been procrastinating all afternoon on picking up my new prescription eyeglasses. It's nearly 6pm and it started raining hard. I guess the heavens has decided for me.

I love love love NFC contactless payment. It is MAGIC. Just tap your card or android phone to pay. It never stops feeling magical for me. Almost makes me want to buy a NFC-capable smartwatch but I don't want the hassle of another device that needs frequent charging.

Somebody take my phone away. I've been doing too much online shopping in the last 24 hours. My last purchase was 5 mins ago. I probably should not be making purchasing decisions at 6:30am, but I got suckered in by the massive price drop.

Trying out a new-to-me language learning app and I had to laugh at this. LingQ knows people are watching shows in foreign languages and want to learn those languages for deeper understanding and appreciation.😁

It is the second day in a row that I've been awake/awakened at 3am and find myself craving cheesecake. I guess that's a sign to get a cheesecake.

I made tea eggs a few days ago. My mainland Chinese cousin's wife told my sister that it was delicious and that she thought it was made by a native Chinese person. I used a packaged spiced tea bag but I used a local soy sauce and halved the salt. I'll still take the compliment.💅

In my rush to leave the house, I forgot to bring my Bluetooth earbuds. Now I'm sat in traffic bored and can't even listen to an audiobook or a podcast. Mr. Cab Driver and I, unfortunately, do not share the same taste in radio station music.

I have to be up in less than 2 hrs to travel. Haven't slept a wink. I am hungry. I am tired but unfortunately not "sleepy" tired. I can't even go out to eat because the creaky door will wake my sister who does need sleep so she can drive well rested. Fingers crossed I can get some sleep in the car.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

I've been dealing with GERD nausea and heartburn all day because I had 2 cups of instant coffee mix this morning. I don't know why I keep repeating the same mistake (2 cups) and hoping I won't suffer the consequences. Why is coffee so tasty when it makes me suffer so?😩

I got rejected! My hemoglobin was just shy of the acceptable donor values (but in normal range for non-donors). It's funny when I think about it. I've only ever been rejected when it's a planned, directed donation. All my impulse walk-in donations and participation in blood drives were a success.

I'm waiting to be screened for a blood donation at a hospital, and I just know somebody nearby is/was eating pancit because the aroma of calamansi in this enclosed space is pervasive and mouthwatering.

I've reached my lifetime quota for "interesting times." Give me bland times. Boring times. Normie times, one could even say. Times that are both dull and unexciting. Load me up with times that feel stale and uninspiring. That's the good stuff right there.

After years of only ever seeing the word JUJUBE in print and calling it joo-joo-bee in my head, today I learned that it's actually pronounced [jo͞oˌjo͞ob]. Like boo and boob with a J. I think I'm gonna stick to calling it joojoobee though. It's so much more fun to say.

Hey, get that flu shot. Knowing folks who are catching this current flu and it's kicking them in the teeth -- the shot will, worst case scenario, prevent it from taking you to the hospital or the morgue. It might knock it out quicker for you or even help you duck catching it. (Mask up, too.)

Deposited a check yesterday via my bank's app, and now the funds are in clearing. Online check deposit has been around for a while now, but it's MY first time doing it. I'm just marveling at how far fin tech has come in a few short decades.

Stray kitten has somehow gotten into my sister's condo on the 34th floor. They've been trying to catch it since yesterday. They leave out food for it, but it skitters and hides when humans approach. Kitty needs a vet, and it can't stay as my cousin, who's thankfully out of town atm, is allergic.

Since July, I've had the same Shopee rider delivering my packages. We've long since developed an understanding. If the parcel fits between my gate grills, he just shoots the parcel through the gaps. So much more convenient for both of us. He rarely calls me now, just texts to inform me afterwards.😂

I just did the math, and the amount of money I spent on theater and concerts in 2025 is staggering. I went from rarely going to seeing a show nearly monthly since June. This month, sis and I went to see Jackson Wang, and there's 2 more upcoming musicals. My wallet may be empty but my heart is full.

Go watch #RomanticsAnonymous! It is so good. Super cute, charming, and fun to watch! The main characters are endearing, awkward, funny. I keep rewatching scenes even before finishing the episode. Love love love!

The usual delivery guy and I have an understanding—if the package fits between the gate grills, he'll slip it in and send a text. There's a new guy today who called. I hope he learns my SOP for the next package. Saves both him and I time, and we don't have to talk on the phone.😂
