I miss the days when being together actually meant something. When laughter came naturally, when everyone shared stories instead of silence, when we could all sit in one place without feeling like we had to choose sides.

It’s painful to see how pride and misunderstandings changed everything. The same people who once stood together now barely look at each other. Everyone wants to be heard, but no one wants to listen. The love that used to hold us together now feels fragile — like one more argument could break what’s left.

Sometimes, I scroll through old photos or remember random moments — birthdays, dinners, jokes that only we understood — and I can’t help but wonder… how did we end up here? How did something so strong turn into something so distant?

I’m not blaming anyone. Maybe we’ve all changed. Maybe time and pain made us build walls to protect ourselves. But even with all that, I still wish for peace — not the fake kind, but the quiet, genuine peace that feels like home again.

I still love them all. I just hope one day, when hearts are softer and intentions are kinder, we find our way back to each other again. 🤍

Because no matter how far we drift, love will always remember its way home. ✨

An Open Reminder to All Clients;

Respect comes with responsibility. My husband works hard, giving his time, effort, skills, and dedication to make sure every job is done right. Yet again and again, there are clients who ask for ‘rush service’ but delay their payment for weeks, even months—some even let it drag on for almost a year.

The work gets finished, the service is delivered, but when it’s time to pay, the answer is always ‘wait.’ Almost two months have already passed in some cases, and still, no payment has been made. How fair is it that he sacrifices his strength and time, only for his hard work to go unpaid?

What makes it worse is when my husband politely reminds clients about their balance, it almost feels like he’s the one at fault—treated as if asking for what is rightfully his is a burden. Many don’t even know how to say a simple “thank you” for the service he worked so hard to provide. And to add insult to injury, some are too barat to pay fairly and still have the nerve to ask for free labor. 🙄

It is painful to see that there is always money for luxuries, but none for the rightful payment of honest labor. Rush requests should come with rush payment. Delaying payment while making excuses is not just inconsiderate—it is shameful.

To all clients: please remember, settling payment on time is the simplest way to respect the person who worked hard for you. Mahiya naman kayo!

Once, this garage was alive—filled with taxis, engines roaring, voices rising, and laughter echoing late into the night. Now it stands in silence, emptied of its chaos, holding only the weight of memories. But endings are never truly the end. Silence can be the soil where new stories take root. And though the laughter has faded, this place still waits—patiently, quietly—for the day life returns in another form, brighter and stronger than before.

This little candy once saved me. Back in my 4th year of high school, there were days I didn’t have money for lunch. My classmates would invite me to eat in the cafeteria, and I’d just smile and say, ‘I’m already full’ or ‘I already ate.’ The truth was, this candy was all I had to keep me going for the whole day. 🥹

It may look small, but for me it was survival — my quiet strength, a companion in the times when I had nothing but determination to endure. Every bite reminded me to stay strong, to push through hunger, and to keep showing up no matter what.

Funny how one simple candy can hold so many memories. Today, whenever I see it, I don’t just taste menthol and cherry — I taste survival, resilience, and gratitude. From a student with nothing but a piece of candy, to someone who continues to fight and dream bigger — I’ll always carry this memory with me.

Thank you, Universal Robina Corporation MAXX.❤️
