For Geof, I wish I took more photographs
Dear Geof, I wish I took more photos. I wish I was able to capture moments when you were so deeply loved by lolo pido and lola olive. You are blessed to have experience the warmth and love of having a great-grandpa and great grandpa. Lolo Pido always cradled you to sleep, while singing his favorite songs from Pat Boone and Frank Sinatra. Your favorites were: How much is that doggy in the window, and Bye bye bird (not the exact title). Lolo Pido loves to sing. He even taught me how. He taught me all the breathing techniques and styles! I used to get mad at lolo, for carrying…

On FOMO and fading into the background
Enough. I cant sleep because I feel like Im not doing enough. My mind is wandering because it feels like it should be doing more. Gone are the days when I have the time, or drive to post beauty reviews, post live grwm videos, etc. I feel like because of it, Im slowly forgotten, fading into the background.. and it is all my fault.

I have so many ideas in my head, things I want to share with you guys, but there’s this part where…

Come with me to Aichi Mochi Cafe in QC
Nah.. this wont be your standard cafe or restaurant review. Nothing formal. Just, come with me to Aichi Mochi Cafe in QC. This mochi cafe went viral on Tiktok a few weeks ago, and I just had to find out if the place is worth all the long lines and hype. On my first visit (yes there was a second) I came with my good friend Paul. We were craving for dessert after having Vietnamese for lunch. Sadly, most of the items on their menu is out of stock. So we were stuck with Iced Matcha and an Ichigo mochi. There were more, but what’s the use of mentioning them…
