Dinner date with my 15 y.o.

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 28 Jul

Yesterday, my second daughter and I went for a quick grocery run and a take-your-time dinner date. I owed her this Mommy time. She's been dealing with some personal issues, and she's been reaching out to me. I have an idea of...

Spent the weekend at my brother's farm

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 20 Jul

We just came back from a weekend's stay at my brother's farm in Pampanga province. We got to stay in a nice, newly built house within the property, eat fresh farm produce, and swim at the pool. I didn't plan to swim but my brother...

Goodbye, more things

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 12 Jul

I did a bit of cleaning and decluttering last week. This time, I found it quite easy to dispose of some things. I'm probably coming to my senses. It felt good to fill up a large bag of trash and drop it into one of the huge bins...

Another week done. Moving on to the next.

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 12 Jul

Last week had me going here and there for errands. It's good to see tasks get completed. They're not hard and big stuff, but they had to be done. Husband and I went to two wakes - one for his colleague's father and another for...

Is there a TV series that you can watch over and over?

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 2 Jul

I've been rewatching this old K drama favorite from 2015 titled "All About My Mom." I'm on the last episode already. I love this Korean drama so much that I can watch episodes over and over. I'm glad it's still available on...

Confusing weather reports

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 28 Jun

My Android phone says that we're having rains for the entire week. My Microsoft Edge browser says otherwise - apparently, we have to expect 5 days of extreme heat. I don't know who's got the right forecast. I'm actually hoping for...

It's time to move on. For the longest time, I've had the CURRENTLY READING widget on my blog, and it's taking forever to finish all the books that I've listed there. And I've been feeling like a total failure. I want to feel...

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 25 Jun

Do you listen to old sentimental songs?

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • Philippines 25 Jun

Every time I do chores or some online work, I usually open Spotify and listen to old sentimental songs. Mostly from the 70s, 80s, and the 90s. My husband once told me that I'm such an old soul. I don't know. Maybe because I grew...

Macy @almostoveryou (5156) • 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...
