Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 27 Apr

Our apartment complex is having a scheduled power outage and maintenance today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. No power generators would be available either (ergo, no working elevators) so there's no use staying on our 14th floor unit in...

It's time to scrimp and save... again

Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 24 Mar

I'm thankful that we've got enough provisions (for now) and the financial stability to survive the rising inflation. Nonetheless, if the tension in the ME ensues, harder times will come and supplies will be scarce. I'm not too...

Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 13 Jan

It's mid-afternoon and I thought to get my late lunch at the nearest Subway. I ordered a BLT sandwich and apple flavored tea. Staff asked if I want all the veggies in my sandwich. I said "nope, just onions, tomatoes and lettuce."...

Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 16 Sep

It's been so long since I last made a post here. Life has thrown in so many changes - I just needed time to inhale and then exhale and finally settle in. I'm not even sure if I've settled myself already and comfortably. So, this...
