Thing #1 + Thing #2 = Supah Wild 😜 x 3
Day 366,12/26/25:
I have successfully cut off people in my life who intentionally undermine me, gossip, hurt me emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically and I suggest you do the same because your life depends on it.
Remember, walking away from toxic relationships usually also means abandoning the bad habits attached with them.
With the utmost clarity I can confidently state than when no one had my back, God did, so I put him first. Above myself, above my kids, above work, because I found that this is when miracles happen.
I highly encourage you to try this as I am living proof this sacrifice is worth doing.
This blog thread will end soon at the 375 days mark so know I mean business when I write ✍️ this and share it.
Holding you in light, high esteem, and love. Protect yourself 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Day 365, 12/25/25:
Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
Today is not about having perfect family get togethers or opening presents.
Today is to celebrate the birth of our savior and to be grateful Jesus gave his life in order for all our sins to be washed away.
The gravity of this sacrifice is what gives us believers, peace and joy, everyday, most especially today.
God bless you 🙏🏽 and everyone you love 💕

It’s officially pants 👖season so I’m biting the bullet and went shopping for some today.
I found these cute ones at Windsor. This one has studs going up and down the sides.
And the other is a utilitarian one with lots of pockets.
What’s great about these are how they hug in the right places and that they feel soft enough to walk in all day! That’s a win 🥇 x 2 ❣️
Day 342, 12/2/25:
Warning ⚠️ DO NOT accidentally eat that paper cuz you’re too hungry 🤤 -or- simply not paying attention cuz you’re on your phhhooooonnnneeeeeee 🤳☎️📲👋
I’ve done this countless of times and it’s always shockingly unpleasant Lmao 😂
Not this time👍 🏆 I’ve learned that: (1) gloves slow me down and I am OK with touching a gooey thing that will make my gloves smelly and not my fingers -and- (2) not eating in the dark helps immensely 🤓👍
You’re welcome 💓🍔
Have a good day ✅🧾🏁❤️

As a mom 👩🏻 there isn’t anything more satisfying than seeing your kids thriving 🪴 where they have been planted.
Gavin, as a Sophomore, is playing with more confidence, leadership, and adeptness on the court. He put up a good amount of points yesterday and I am so grateful to see this development in him and was there to cheer him and his teammates on❣️
Gigi, as a Senior, has been invited again to an elite speech competition across the nation in Glenbrooks, Illinois and we left very early today to meet her travel schedule. Simultaneously, earlier this month she was selected by a prestigious all women’s university in Northampton, Massachusetts to travel and tour the campus, all expenses paid, based on her work as a student activist and poet.
I am deeply grateful 🙏🏽for both of my kid’s drive, success, and blessings they are able to experience at such a young age. Hoping and praying they will continue to be positive beacons of light in our neck of the world 🌎
Sending all our love 💕 💗💞🌷

Day 325, 11/15/25:
Finally, after too many sad 😔 weeks without Furikake on my eggs 🍳 (I ran out) I finally procured some 👌
Its funny how much you figure out you love something (so much) is when it’s been gone for awhile. Like every single time I was making eggs I kept reaching for the Furikake jar that wasn’t there 😞 And then I stopped having eggs all together because I knew my eggs would not be complete ☹️. So now I bought two jars right off the bat, one always waiting in the wings 🪽 , cuz that experience was pure culinary torture lmao 😂.
Anyhoo, without further ado, this is my favorite Asian breakfast of all time 💯 Japanese sausages, sunny 🌞 side up eggs, garlic 🧄 fried rice 🍚 topped with garlic chili 🌶️ oil, and of course my favorite Asian condiment of all time Furikake !!!
The Japanese sausages and crunchy garlic oil I bought from Hawaii so hopefully I can buy them again locally, from a Japanese grocer.
Happy 😊 weekend eating everyone 🥰

Day 320, 11/10/25:
Happy 😊 Monday friends. Around this time this year I start tweaking my nutrition to match our colder and drier fall / winter months.
I take the gas off coffee and eliminate it completely and replace it with warming and healing tonics such as a freshly brewed ginger 🫚 turmeric and lemon 🍋 tea 🫖
Trust me on the efficacy of this drink because your body will feel it right away in its overall healing capacity.
Here’s how to make it:
- grate fresh organic turmeric root and ginger root
- wear gloves, turmeric stains yellow naturally so keep your hands clean with gloves
- boil water
- get a simple strainer
- get fresh seedless lemons
- add a local honey for flavor if you need to sweeten this
Lastly, enjoy 😉 it and thank yourself for treating 🥰 yourself well 💝
Day 319, 11/9/25:
It is never too late to grow spiritually in one’s faith and being in community with others with the same positive intentions is what incrementally, and collectively, lifts up the world 🌎

Anyhoo I’m here to share something I absolutely 💯 LOVE if you like a good leg 🦵 workout and are short on time that my trainer Yesi had me do today. She’s the G.O.A.T. 🌟 btw and always challenges me in the best ways. I found this session tough 😅 but I powered through it with minimal breaks ✅ If you set yourself up in a confined space and have music you can lock into, you’ll be done in less than 30 minutes. What I love about this workout is its combination of strength + mobility + cardio in four fell swoops
🪽🩵🪽🩵

Got to watch Gavin and Ant on the court last night 🏀 🥰 🤗. Chatted it up with Coach Lo and was happy to hear he is using his professional basketball experience to coach our middle schoolers. If our town, the Une ☝️, can get consistent coaching, we can be a force to reckon with again, in our sports programs. What I've seen from other towns are consistently dedicated and proven old farts who are just locked in in their process and with their kids. Because of that, their programs are consistently good, year after year. Also, by Coach Lo doing this, he can weed out the entitled "superstars" who have parents who are disrespectful, lazy, and expect everything from the program. Good grief that's what I would do. Identify the crazies (parents) then make sure not to recruit their freakin kid. Also, I would have a strict policy on mandatory practice that actually is enforced. And a back up list of players in the event some whack ass kids need to get the boot. Last season we had this one mom who lit up the whole coaching staff in front of all the parents and all the players as if she were all of their employers. No shame. All blame. No f/in class. The coaches were all so poised, gentlemanly, and took all her crap. I highly applauded them for that sh*t show of a "parent meeting."
What I have to say is that we have talent and a raw desire to play well for sure, but if we don't have the proper athletic leadership, year in and year out, there can be no successful legacy to build upon 💯🎯💯🎯.
Lumping today with Throwback Thursday with the last pic. Have a good day everyone 💗💗💗💗.

Gigi's purse blings are so adorable like her 💟💜💟💜 She talked about setting up an Etsy shop or selling them. I think that's a great idea 🤩 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌞🌞🌞

My old phone is recovering from a wild run 🏃🏻♀️with my dog 🐶 right now and is being baby-sat by a kind neighbor who still hasn't found it's mother lol ;-) If you don't know my 2nd phone number, you're not that special *or* I just plain don't like you; lmao 😂 P.S.: If you are reading this and you know I don't like you and I have talked smack about you indirectly on 1 or 3 of all my online written publications (blogs), please kindly delete my 1st phone number from your call list because I will never be calling you forever and a day. Also, please STOP sending your henchmen, hired help and/or children at me to do YOUR dirty bidding. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Day 253, 9/1/25:
Pro tip: if you go to the mall in your pj’s it gives you a real reason to buy clothes 🛍️ lmao 😂 Happy first🥇day of a new month + Happy Labor Day sunshines 🌞 Gigi and I got so much done at Valley Fair yesterday. I’ll likely blog about our mother / daughter work / Sunday Funday in a separate post because we were productive and working for a whole 10 hours straight . . . at the mall lol 😆 I’m serious 🧐
Just gonna share the funsies 🤩 here:
Go Niners ❣️ Please 🙏🏽 be good this season and try not to embarrass us but in case you do 🙈 we’re light weight used to it lmao 😂

My running 🏃🏻♀️ has improved because of a lot of healthy changes I have been consistent at, but, my favorite is running with my big puppy 🐶. I do this with him multiple times a day in addition to in-house-sparring 🥷🏽 so he gets his need for healthy physical exertion met. His handlers at his doggy day camp + doggy hotel know I train him this way and have learned how to play / engage with his high need for physicality. When I talk to them, I love how fondly they talk about how much he loves his 1:1 play time with them. Gonna carry this strong + productive energy all month with joy 💝 in my heart, always 🙏🏽. Hope you soar high as well 🪽 🌬️ 🩵 🕊️🏃🏻♀️

Car rides stress him out but he needs to learn 👩🏻🏫 All the barking he does, does not derail me from getting this big puppy 🐶 trained right. Now that he’s whooped, he needs a long nap 😂 Gives us time to do what we need to do without the big baby 👩🏻🍼🐾🐶😘Happy 😊 Sunday 🌞
Day 251, 8/30/25:

Gavin got some wind 💨 in his sails 🚤 and put in a great effort at last night’s training. Keep elevating ⛰️ your game and stay on target 🎯 honey 💝 Proud of you 👏
Day 248, 8/27/25:
Got in an exploratory walk around our new neighborhood and was delightfully reinvigorated 🥰 Spontaneous, unplanned walks like this makes me feel like I’m on vacation 🌺 again 💝 Happy Wednesday everyone, have a good one❣️
My next question 🙋🏻♀️ is are these “searches” human or machine? Are machines, or A / I teaching themselves blogging content? If these are all human manual searches I am very happy 😊 to see this statistic. But, taking into account such huge spikes I’m inclined to think at least 50% is A / I teaching itself blogging.
Also, I like to think 🤔 “Other” 🆙 here are my kababayan (people) from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and other small island 🏝️ countries. We never get our own representation even in this above ⬆️ country delineation. I mean Disneyland’s “Its A Small World 🌎” has one lone Filipina woman doll! Not even a freaking dance partner man doll. Whatevsss 🙄 Our world representation is always low **womp** **womp** We’re used to it.
My cheesy home made signs. The last one I make for high school for her 😢 but I will still do this for college if she allows me to.
I’m always prepared with my own tailgating chairs, umbrellas, and of course snacks. 
My other daughter Kelly 🥰❤️🥰❤️
