I've been craving samgyupsal since last week, and today's finally the day! 😂 I've been trying so hard not to eat because I want to save all the space in my stomach. My last meal was at 8 AM, and now all I can think about is beef enoki. I'm literally drooling already. 😭 Hang in there, self... just a little longer! 🥩🤤 We have a samgyupsal date with two of my son's classmates' moms.

I've been so busy with BCHNostr lately that I almost forgot about my affiliate account. 😅 Good thing I checked and realized I only have 3 days left to make a video for these Enervon-C Multivitamins. I'm not even the one who's going to take them—my husband is. 😂 To be honest, I have so many free sample supplements and products from different campaigns, but I don't use most of them. They're mainly for content creation. Whenever my family or friends come over, they almost always go home with something from me. Na para bang galing akong abroad. Bakit may pa sabon at palotion kayo pag uwi 🤣

This is my entry for Animalandia Activity 3. 🐱 I'm definitely not the best at drawing, as you can probably tell. 😂 But I still wanted to join because why not 😅🤭 Story time : They say you don't choose a cat—the cat chooses you. But in Kim's case, I think it was love at first sight. ❤️ I adopted him in October 2025 after seeing his beautiful coat pattern. He's a mackarel cat by the way. The moment I saw him, I immediately messaged the person who was looking for someone to adopt him because I knew he belonged with us. Fast forward to today, he's become one of the biggest sources of joy (and chaos 😂) in our house. We call him "Berdugo" because he's incredibly hyper, but he's also the sweetest. Every morning, he's there to greet me, and whenever I lie down, he'll curl up right beside me like that's exactly where he's supposed to be. This photo was taken while I was decluttering the room. When I looked at it, I couldn't stop laughing because it honestly looks like Kim grabbed my phone, switched to the 0.5x camera, and took a selfie himself. 🤣📸 Safe to say he definitely knows he's handsome! 🐱💛

Finally finished cleaning the sliding door. ✨ There are still plenty of household chores waiting for me, but I always prioritize my side hustle first because every extra income helps. The housework can wait for a little while. Now it's time to switch roles again—from cleaning to preparing lunch. A homemaker's to-do list never really ends, but that's okay. One task at a time. ❤️

Finally finished cleaning the sliding window. ✨ There are still plenty of household chores waiting for me, but I always prioritize my side hustle first because every extra income helps.

Last night's view. ❤️ Callie has officially chosen her favorite human—and it's my son. 😂 Every time I try to move her so she can cuddle with me, she simply goes right back to him. I'm so jealous 😭

It's still early in the morning, yet it already feels like the middle of the afternoon. 🥵 What is happening to our world? Every year, the heat seems to get more intense, and it's becoming harder to ignore the changes around us. Stay hydrated, take care of yourself, and don't forget to check on your loved ones too. Stay safe, everyone.

I was really planning to sleep early tonight, but life had other plans. My brother-in-law got scratched by a cat earlier today, so my husband accompanied him to the animal bite center where he had his anti-rabies shots before. They thought it would just be another anti-rabies vaccine, but after the doctor examined the wound, it was classified as Category III, which means he also needs ERIG. The difficult part is that ERIG is weight-based, so it can be quite expensive. Now they're faced with a tough decision because if he refuses it, he'll have to sign a waiver stating that he declined the treatment despite the doctor's recommendation. If you ask me, I'd choose to get the ERIG. Money can always be earned again, but peace of mind is priceless. Here at home, all of us have received anti-rabies vaccines. I've even had two booster shots already because I'd rather be prepared than spend my days worrying. Health is one of those things that's always worth investing in.

Time to top up my BCH tipping wallet again. 💚 I only add $1 worth of BCH each time. Once it's empty, I just top it up again. Tipping plays an important role in the BCH ecosystem. It's not just about giving away coins—it's about introducing more people to BCH and encouraging them to actually use it. Every tip helps keep BCH circulating, supports adoption, and shows how simple peer-to-peer digital cash can be. Even small tips can help grow the community.

Feast for the Eyes, Treat for the Tummy. 🥢🥗 If you noticed what's on my plate, these are Kani Rolls—fresh rice paper rolls filled with crab sticks, crisp lettuce, cucumber, carrots, sweet corn, and other fresh vegetables.. They're served with a creamy dipping sauce that makes every bite even more delicious. Kani Rolls are one of my favorite light meals. They're fresh, colorful, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. Perfect for days when I want to enjoy something healthy and flavorful at the same time. 💚

Fighting the urge to sleep because it's already 4:34 PM... but my eyes have other plans. 🥱 I know if I give in to this nap, there's a good chance I'll wake up in the evening feeling confused, and then I'll end up wide awake in the middle of the night. As tempting as it is, I'm trying my best to stay awake. Maybe a cup of coffee, a little movement, or just keeping myself busy will do the trick. Here's hoping I make it to bedtime without accidentally turning a short nap into a full night's sleep. 😅☕

It's extremely hot today. Electricity is expensive, but getting sick from the heat can cost even more. My dad came over today, and the first thing he said was how nice and cool our air conditioner felt. Back at my parents' house, they don't have one, so when the heat gets unbearable, there's really no choice but to endure it and find other ways to cool down. These days, an air conditioner feels more like a necessity than a luxury. Sadly, not everyone can afford one, and I know many families are still doing their best to get through the heat. I'm truly thankful to God that we have one at home. Yes, the electric bill hurts, and we'll just close our eyes when it's time to pay it—but I'm grateful that my family doesn't have to suffer through this extreme heat.

Every Sunday after church, we usually skip cooking and head straight in Crispy Papa. 😅 This fried chicken may not look fancy, but trust me—it’s so good. It’s brined, so every bite is juicy and flavorful all the way to the bone. And the coating isn’t just plain flour—it has its own special seasoning that makes it even better. Happy lunchtime, everyone! 😊🍴

Sunday is the Lord's Day. 🤍 Out of all the days in the week, let's set aside this one to honor Him, worship Him, and spend time in His presence. The rest of the week may be filled with work, responsibilities, and distractions, but today, let's give our hearts back to the One who gives us life. On the way to church. ⛪🙏 Nothing compares to a Sunday spent in the presence of the Lord. May our worship today bring Him all the glory.

When I was a child, I was the one who ran to my parents whenever I had something to complain about. Now, it's my dad who comes to me with his stories and concerns. ❤️ My dad visited me today, and honestly, there's nothing more comforting than sharing a cup of coffee with him while we talk. I'm still a certified Daddy's girl, no matter how old I get. I love him so much. I told him that if he ever wanted to, he could stay with us so I wouldn't have to keep worrying about him. Things haven't been easy between him and my sibling, and I know that as people grow older, they can become more sensitive. Today, he had so many things to tell me. I simply listened. I didn't take sides because I know every story has two sides. Sometimes, our parents don't need us to fix everything—they just need someone who will listen.

"Because my parents broke the cycle of poverty, I don't have to be the family breadwinner." I read this and thought, I wish this were my story. I've been the breadwinner for years, and even now that I have my own family, I still support my parents. I do it with love, but that doesn't mean it isn't heavy. There are days when I want to give up, but I can't. I'm the eldest, and I've always been the backup. That's why I'm determined to change our family's story. I don't want my child to grow up feeling responsible for carrying our burdens before they can chase their own dreams. I want them to choose their future because they want to—not because they have no other choice. As I write this, I'm holding back tears. But this is exactly why I keep pushing forward. My hope is that one day, my child will be able to say the words in this photo—and truly mean them. ❤️

Some memories may fade, but photographs have a beautiful way of bringing us back. ❤️ I don't remember this day or even whose wedding it was, but I'm thankful I found this old photo of me and Mama while cleaning. A little piece of childhood I'll always treasure. 🥹

Just finished my 1-hour workout! 🏋️‍♀️✨ There are days when I don't feel like exercising, but I always remind myself that I'll never regret taking care of my body. Sweat now, thank yourself later. 💦❤️

Last night, my tip was accidentally sent twice. One of the transactions didn't appear on BCHNostr, so technically I could've stayed quiet and said I never received it. But I didn't even hesitate. I immediately told MJ that the tip had been sent twice, and I returned the extra $1. Yes, we all need money. I need it too. But no amount is worth sacrificing my integrity. I'd rather have a clean conscience than keep something that isn't mine. If we're easily tempted by something as $1, what more if it's something much bigger? Character is built through the small decisions we make every day. Always choose honesty. 💚

Today's lunch is meatloaf! I decided to level it up with a homemade sauce inspired by Spam Musubi—just the budget-friendly version because I didn't have Spam. 😂 Saturdays are always laundry days, so by the time we're done, we barely have the energy to cook anything fancy. That's why we always end up with the easiest meals. Let's eat!
