Hey hey! It’s me again. I know, I’ve been MIA from this blog for a while—sorry about that! But let me catch you up on what’s been keeping me busy lately.
WORK LIFE – Back in the Game!
Yep, you read that right—I’m finally working again! After almost a year of being jobless (ugh, what a ride), I’m officially employed. And plot twist: I ended up back at my previous company. I know, I know—sounds like one of those “kinain ko yung isinuka ko” moments, but wait! It's a bit more nuanced. I rejoined the same company, sure, but I applied for a different market this time around. Before, I was in the Australian account; now I’m working with a UK-based team.
Best part? It’s fully remote and permanently WFH. Schedule’s not too bad either, although I’ll miss a few family dinners that fall on weekdays. The only downside is starting from scratch again—hello, 6-month probation period! It’s a little nerve-wracking, but I’m taking it one day at a time.
SOCIAL LIFE – Back to Baklaan, with Boundaries
I used to say that once I started working again, I’d kiss my social life goodbye. Well... I'm kind of eating my words now. I still go out every now and then, and honestly? I think I deserve it. I’ve been easing back into my old baklaan lifestyle—just more chill now. I know my limits (and my drinks). 11 PM to 4 AM hangouts and three pints of Hoegaarden Rosée? That’s my sweet spot. Bonus points if there’s a little landi involved. 😏
FRIENDSHIPS – Still Holding It Down
So far, my friendships are in a pretty good place. I started this little habit of checking in with my favorite people every Friday—just little life updates. Some of them have picked it up too, which is kinda sweet. It’s nice knowing we still care about each other even if we don’t talk daily.
Of course, I have my moments of tampo when I feel like they’re not making time for me, but that’s part of being human, right?
Also, I love my flirty friendships—shoutout to JK and Ryuta (you know who you are). I’m that friend who says “I love you” any chance I get, and honestly? No regrets.
So that’s it for now. Life’s been a little chaotic but also kind of exciting. Praying for more good days ahead—and maybe a little more landi on the side. 😅
Til next time!
