It was a beautiful day for a wedding. 🤍

So proud of you, Icee and Ivan, for your obedience to God and your love for each other. And even more grateful to have front row seats (literally and figuratively) to your beautiful story as it unfolds. Ninong Bud and Ninang Riz (oh no) are always here for you. #IVANcewasblindbutnowICEE (omg @fredyawn, the best in hashtags.)

💖💚 From #PasayIsPink to #MakatiIsPink, I’m so proud to have witnessed even a speck of this massive, passionate, game-changing campaign, and even prouder to have my family stand with me, together with thousands others (400k people in Pasay, 800k in Makati, what??)

I don’t know what’s going to happen in the coming days 🙏 but I do know without a shadow of a doubt that a vote for Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan is a vote for a trustworthy, honest, competent, progressive, loving, kind, and good governance — one that we can be proud of wherever we go in the world. They’re already bringing out the best in us, imagine what more they can do, and we all can do together. ✨

2 days to go. #LeniKikoAllTheWay

IKEA dump! Do you really live in Manila if you haven’t been to the largest IKEA in the whole world? FOMO lang, we didn’t really buy much. Also, not in pic: an unhealthy amount of meat balls like don’t even ask. 🙃

They learned the chorus in 10 mins because the stage mum wanted a quick Easter post. 🤍 (Their Dad will obviously have a more polished version at some point.)

This song is everything I want them to take away from the celebration of Easter—

Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know, I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives 🙌

Happy Easter from Dawn and Rain! (And also their parents.)

March wrapup. I’m perplexed— How do bookstagra

March wrapup. I’m perplexed— How do bookstagrammers read so much, and then write in-depth reviews for every thing they read too? 🤯 I obviously only have time to read but no time left to write lol, but I do hope to contribute helpful #bookstagram content more often, just ‘cause I personally benefit from reading others.

With that said, I really enjoyed this month’s reads.

Stranger in the Lifeboat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Manifest meets Titanic meets the New Testament —that’s it, that’s the summary. I raved about this in Feb when I just started reading it, and it delivered all the way through to the end for me. I do understand why/how the premise of the story won’t work for everyone. I hope I find time to blog about this because I have so many thoughts so pls, if you’ve read it, whether you enjoyed it or not, talk to me!

By The River of Piedra ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a re-read but it strikes me differently now that I’m no longer that girl who found love and lost it, uncertain if she’d ever find it again. I’m obviously at the other side of that river now —love lost, love found. Still, it’s cathartic to see a piece of yourself (or your younger self) in the characters you read; it makes you more appreciative of your own journey.

Normal People ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes, this is also a 5 star read for me (sorry! don’t judge!) I also read it so fast, but not because it’s easy or shallow; I simply couldn’t put it down. Marianne & Connell captured my heart in all the weird ways and it’s impossible to not root for them and cry with them and wish them the best of endings.

Crying in H Mart ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gotta love a good memoir written by an Asian immigrant grappling with racism, identity, and grief. There’s a lot I couldn’t relate with but imo, this one lives up to the hype.

Emotional Inheritance (ebook) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow! I learned and realised so much from this one. If you’re someone (like me) who geeks out over trauma healing and epigenetics, this is a must read.

Flatshare ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Typical romcom, the kind you read if you need something fun and easy. It’s the one I least liked this month but overall still a good reading experience.

What did you read this month? Any good recos?
