First time ko sa dream destination ko! Switzerland!!

Hindi ko aakalain na sa buhay ko, makakarating ako dito. Lahat ng makita kong lugar pakiramdam ko nasa loob ako ng painting. 🥹 Halos pag kakain ako sa restaurant na my alfresco na maganda ang view, napapaiyak nalang talaga ako. Sana kayo din!

Pagkatapos pala nito, nagpunta ako sa Italy, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Slovakia at Czech Republic all for 5 weeks. Pero sa lahat, Switzerland ang highlights talaga kahit sooooobrang mahal!!

First time ko magpa-DNA test, and I finally feel free 😭

Share ko lang. First time ko magpa-DNA test, and honestly, hindi naging madali para sa akin. Nagdesisyon akong gawin ito dahil hindi naniwala sa akin yung tatay at yung family side ng tatay ng anak ko.

Masakit na kailangan ko pang patunayan ang isang bagay na alam kong totoo, pero pinili kong harapin ito kaysa habang-buhay akong may dalang doubts at accusations.

At ngayon, may sagot na ako. More than anything, sobrang gaan ng pakiramdam ko. Hindi lang dahil sa result, kundi dahil finally, wala na akong kailangang patunayan sa kanila.

Thank God. I feel free. 🙏❤️

First time ko magka-5-digit savings 💰

As an 18-year-old student, sobrang surreal na makita na nakaabot ako sa ganitong amount. What makes it even more special is that I earned this from working online, little by little, while studying.

Hindi man siya malaking amount for some people, pero for me, this means a lot. Every peso came from my own effort, and seeing my savings grow like this makes me really proud of myself.

Small win, but definitely something I’ll always be proud of. Here’s to saving more and reaching bigger goals.🥳🤍

First Time Ko magdala ng date sa lamay 😂😂

So, I met him here on Reddit. We already made plans earlier this month to go out today, but then life happened, and my grandma suddenly passed away. Everything became overwhelming, and I honestly wasn’t sure if I would still have the energy or headspace to go through with our plans. He told me that he would completely understand if I wanted to reschedule. More than that, he was there while I was grieving, constantly checking in, asking if I was okay, reminding me to rest, and making sure I was eating on time. He never made me feel pressured to meet him and seemed genuinely concerned about how I was doing.

I’ve been in a slump these past few days, and I thought that maybe getting out of the house and taking a quick breather would actually help. So I told him that we could push through with late lunch.

Since it was just a lunch and our first meeting, I honestly didn’t expect anything from him. But he surprised me with flowers because he said he thought they might make me feel a little happier. 🥺 I found that really thoughtful, knowing that he actually took the time to arrange for the flowers, order them, and pick them up before coming to get me.

We went to Ramen Ron for late lunch, and I really enjoyed it. I only mentioned ramen being one of my comfort food once, and he looked for ramen recommendations online. 🥺 After that, he even drove me all the way to Dangwa to buy flowers for my grandma’s wake. He dropped me off at the chapel afterward and almost ended up meeting my entire family and relatives. I decided to spare both of us from the interrogation for now. 😂

I think what stayed with me the most wasn’t necessarily the date itself, but the thoughtfulness behind everything. The willingness to go through small inconveniences, adjust to my circumstances, and make things a littleeasier and a little less heavy for me.🤍

First time ko mag international travel, SKL. Switzerland-Portugal-Spain. TYL talaga

Grabe iba yung feeling, nung unang lumabas kaming airport sa Zurich papuntang Lucerne. Sobrang unreal ng feeling. Never in my life ko naisip na makakapunta ako sa mga lugar na to. Para akong naiiyak na nananaginip. Worth it lahat ng stress sa visa application ko. As a Pinoy alam nyo naman gaano kahirap talaga at napakahaba ng journey makapunta sa EU countries. Madaming times na talagang ayoko nang tumuloy habang nag pprocess ng visa.

I traveled with my husband na EU citizen, I think part of the reason why mabilis na approve visa ko? Not sure. Pero we also made sure na talagang kumpleto lahat ng documents & well made ang cover letter.

Nag layover lang kami ng 6 hours sa Switzerland, then over the course of 2 weeks majority Portugal & konting ikot sa Seville, Spain. This was back in November 2025. Di umubra sa lamig yung mga shein jackets ko. Dapat talaga good quality & makapal - well, lesson learned for next time. Umikot kami from Lisbon to Porto, back to Lisbon for a few days then Algarve naman. When we were in Algarve dun kami bumisita sa Spain. Sadly hindi ako nasarapan sa seafood paella nila dun. Could be a restaurant issue, pero for now bias ko talaga ang food sa Portugal na sobrang sarap!!! Super underrated!

One thing I can say -hindi ko ineexpect how welcoming Portuguese people are & how good the food is. Tapos dun mo makikita ang napakalaking pagkakaiba sa Pinas. This trip is a family visit sa kapatid ng husband ko. Babalik kami this Sept to visit naman his Dad (magkaiba sila ng dad lol). Isa to sa highlights ng buhay ko kaya I want to share it with others. Nothing is impossible talaga.

First time kong marinig na takot ang lolo ko

My lolo has always been one of the bravest and most prideful people I know. Even when he has difficulty walking, he refuses to ask for help because he says na he can still do things on his own. But deep down, I think he just doesn’t want us to feel like he’s a burden.

Even when I was a kid, there was an incident in our province where someone went on a rampage and several people were killed or injured. While others were hiding, my lolo didn’t. He even grabbed an itak to protect my lola and us, kanyang mga apo, who were still very young at the time.

Yesterday, I was about to go home to get some sleep, but he held my hand and asked me to stay until he fell asleep. Then he said, “[Nickname] ko, natatakot ako. Mamatay na ata ako.” Na-stroke kasi siya and currently sa ICU.

That was the first time I ever heard my lolo say na he was afraid.

I was already holding back my tears, but I didn’t want him to see me break down. I just told him, “Hindi ako papayag.” So I stayed beside him and waited until he fell asleep, holding his hand tightly the whole time.

I really hope it’s not time yet. But if it ever is, I think this will also be my first time na mawalan ng mahal sa buhay.
