STARTING OVER.....

 Since I want to be consistent in posting blogs, I want to start over and fill you in.

Last June of 2023 we bought a piece of property in a little island in the Philippines. I asked my brother to look and see the land and came to find out it was a beautiful piece of land away from the hustle and busy city lights in Cebu. The husband and I agreed to just pay the land off and then check it out the following year. September 2024 came and we packed our bags including our dog Millie and bought a ticket to the Philippines. Bringing your animal to the Philippines, is a little tricky situation. We had to prepare 3 months in advance to get her papers straight. The husband decided that it was better for me to fly first because just in case if the dog cannot fly then we have somebody to bring her back home and can straighten her documents. God has blessed us and we were able to fly with no hassle. 

The husband followed two weeks later. But while waiting for my husband I decided to enjoy time with my family. The one that can only spend time with me. Life gets busy with most of them, so I reached out to the ones who are available. I don't want them to skip work just because I am there. you know they have to live too. Anyhoo, my little niece who is married came with me and travel bit. I can't believe that she is a mother now. She used to be my little baby niece. Ahhhhh... I am getting older and that is a blessing. 

So that was the beginning of my journey in our little island. we are hoping to go back in August. Hoping? yeah, we are uncertain just yet. That's another story to tell why so? 

I am so happy I am able to write back again. I missed updating my diary. 

Love ,

I am BACK!!!!!

OH! hi Diary,

   It has been a while again.  I am not so consistent in posting but I think I need to try harder this time. I am getting older by the day. I started this blog 2007. I wish I did not delete some of my stories back then. I wish I just put them in private settings. but what can I do? Anyho, I've been so lucky to be able to log back into my account. I thought I completely lost everything.

What I have been up lately.? I've been reading a lot of books. Reading is somewhat therapeutic for me. I didn't know I'd be able to read a book or two in a week. That's mostly where I've been spending my time recently. I mostly lost in the moment when reading. the husband always wakeup late so instead of scrolling through my phone, I just grad my book and start reading. The books I've been into are mostly Teeny boppers love stories. I am into romantic books and loving it. Sometimes though, i think I am a little childish for reading such stories. but truly I get lost in the moment and  felt as if I am watching them from afar. I don't like gossiping ever since I was a young girl. One time my mom told me stories about my neighbor, she was my classmate in grade school. and I just rush it off. Our parents use to compare us girls, but we are really good friends. So we just laugh about it. Like I said reading is the closest for me to watch other peoples lives. 

Other than reading I have some more exciting news about my online job. I would say I am getting better at it, and I claim it this time around, I will be making something.. not just a dream but in reality. I'll keep my mum about it. but there will be signs in the future post.

Dear Diary....

 Today August 12, 2025. We pour concrete in our yard. we hire a contractor and we just pay all the materials including buying the concrete to save some money. The boys are working very hard to finish the job. Super appreciate for the hard working people in this country. 

In America everything is so expensive. you have to work twice as hard to be able to afford such big of a project. We have been saving our money for so long and now everything is taking into place. All the sacrifices is worth it. 

Finally it will be finish very soon. Thanks God!
