Branded their cafe as good one but it wasn't really good. So disappointed!! I ordered their gokumi which they said is their nutty variant and chose matcha level "umami". I also ordered from their ecoland branch which is located inside a mall.

Packaging: 1/5 - Their cup didn't have their logo to think that they are one of the well known matcha places here in dvo.

Taste: 1/5 - No nuttiness and umami at all. I don't even taste the matcha in this drink. It's like drinking dairy milk straight out of the box.

I really didn't pay 300 pesos for this kind of drink. Lesson learned: just make your own matcha at home. 😩

Hello! What's your take on relatives who keep on asking for money from your parents? I was just really annoyed because this auntie has been asking for money from my mom since I was young. And now she just texted my mom asking for 500 pesos for her daughter's birthday?If 500 is just a little amount to you, then why ask from my mom? Now that I'm an adult, I just can't stand seeing my mom's kindness get abused by this f.

Translation:

Me: Ate, naiintindihan kita. Hindi naman talaga madamot si Mama, pero parang halos lahat na lang ng kailangan ninyo ay hinihingi mo kay Mama—birthday, school supplies, pamasahe, etc. Tapos tinturuan mo pa mga anak mo nahumingi kay mama. Ikaw ang nagdesisyong magkaroon ng madaming anak, kaya dapat alam mo rin na malaking responsibilidad iyon. Hindi naman sa nagdadamot ako, pero sumosobra na kasi. Naaawa na rin ako para kay Mama.

Hindi mo alam ang hirap na pinagdadaanan ni Mama dito. Si Mama halos ang sumasagot sa lahat ng pangangailangan nina lolo at lola. Puwede naman kayong humingi ng tulong kung talagang emergency, pero huwag mo naman abusuhin ang kabaitan niya.

May myoma si Mama pero hindi pa siya nagpapaopera dahil inuuna niya munang tulungan ang iba kaysa ang sarili niya. Wala akong intensyong mang-away. Gusto ko lang kayong hikayatin na magsikap. Hindi alam ni Mama na nag-text ako sa’yo.

Relative: Konti lang naman hinihingi ko, dai. Hindi naman malaking pera hinihingi ko.

Me: Maliit nga lang bawat hingi mo te, pero kapag pinagsama sama mo lahat ng taon na hingi kayo ng hingi, malaking halaga na rin iyon.

Wala naman reklamo si Mama di ba?

Alam kong naghihirap kayo, pero naghihirap na din si mama.

Puwede naman kayong humingi ng tulong kung talagang kailangan ninyo.

Pero parang halos linggo linggo na lang kasi.

Nakikipag usap ako sayo ng maayos, tapos ifoforward mo kay Mama? (Finorward niya kasi yung long message ko sakanya kay mama)

Ano ba ang gusto mong mangyari?

Relative: Puwedeng humingi ng tulong kung talagang kailangan na.

Kung siguro may mamamatay doon pa kami makahingi ng tulong.

Me: Namimilosopo ka na te. Di mo nga siguro mainitindihan. Basta, nagsabi na ako. Wala ako pakealam kahit kanino ka magsumbong jan. Hindi ako makokonsensya dahil ginagawa ko lang kung anong tama para sa mama ko. Mabait si mama pero wag niyong inaabuso!

Please suggest good matcha tumblers na hindi naglalasang sabon yung rubber straw and hindi maluwang yung takip. I currently have this insulated cup but i don't use the rubber straw kasi naglalasang sbaon yung matcha ko and natatakot ako everytime i bring it to work kasi hindi spill proof. I want a tumbler that i can just put in my bag's side pocket and can keep my matcha cold for hours. Thank you!!

What do you think is better: YK's Special A or Wakatake? I have tried wakatake and really liked how nutty it was. I'm just curious if special A would be the same since it's cheaper and would also like to try it.

I immediately tried bell that I ordered from lazada. I actually did not expect for it to taste good. It could be at par with some of the vegetal japanese matchas I've tried. For me, there's no hint of nutty notes thoo and it could be a bit bitter for some but I don't mind it at all (i dont even add any seeetener). I haven't tried bamboo or the new premium one from tiktok shop. I'm also curious about the zhiling pro. Which variant do you guys recommend from qing xi?

Started working out and dieting before T. Starting weight was 63.3 kg (heaviest weight due to stress from work). After resigning, I started working out and did some caldef. So, i lost atleast 3-4 kg, then hit plateau for several months and found it hard to lose weight na especially having PCOS/PMOS. That's when I decided to try T and so far i'm so happy with my progress. I don't want to lose weight too much din naman in a short span of time. I wanna be patient and just respect my body. As long as I hit my goal in time, then i'm good! ♡♡♡

GW: 48-50 kg :)
