What I am interested in birds, just as I am with spiders or monkeys, is what they do and why they do it.

What's up Hive bae-bees? I know right?! I've been away for quite some time, my last blog does feel like done in the nineteen hundreds. But then again, I'm back to clear away the cobwebs here. Allow me to wrestle with all of you by my words. I have so many stories that are untold. For starters, I'll give you a few life updates 'cause this has something to do with what you can look forward to in my future blog. Let's spill the tea, shall we?
Anong bago Hive bae-bees? Alam ko?! Ang tagal akong nawala, parang feeling ko 19-kopong kopong pa yata yung last blog ko. Pero muli, ako'y nag-babalik, papagpagin ang inaagiw kong blogging site. Pahintulutan niyo akong muling makikipag bardagulan sa inyo ng salita. Marami akong gustong sabihin. Pero bilang panimula, magbibigay muna ako ng life update sa inyo dahil may koneksyon ito sa mga susunod kong blog. Tayo na't mag-chismisan muna tara?
Lovelife
Naalala niyo noon nakwento ko yung mahal ko na-stranded sa Bangkok during the first year of pandemic? Yung 4 weeks business trip niya naging 4 months? Miss na miss ko siya nun tapos ang tagal niya makabalik ng Pilipinas dahil sa sarado yung Airport. Gaya ng ibang Pilipino na na-stranded abroad, sa wakas! Nakauwi na din siya nung July 2020 on his birthday. Isa siya sa may kasalanan kung bakit nawala ako sa focus sa pag-susulat. ✌ Sobrang saya nung naka-uwi na siya muli sa bahay, kahit nagstay pa siya ng ilang araw sa Cebu para sa swab-test at quarantine. Naging maayos naman ang lahat at nakapiling din namin siya sa bahay. Ang payat niya nong kakauwi niya pa lang. Siguro kasi hindi niya kilala yung pagkain don sa Thailand. Ngayon naman parang nagpapatabaan kaming dalawa.
Health
Since his repatriation, I went back on my old eating habits. I really enjoy eating with someone. I also learned a lot about international cuisine. My current weight is 54kg. (EWW!) Imagine from 45kg which was my lowest weight in early 2020? THAT MUCH! The digits just switched. Hence, I will use this as motivation to write and feel inspired to do the better diet. I am completely aware that we're too far from January to set a “New Year, New Me” goal but WHY NOT? The change will not happen if we will have to wait for another time and make reasons. I think we can make difference regardless of the day.
Health
Kumakain na ko ulit ng normal simula nung umuwi siya. Masarap kumain pag may kasama. Ang dami ko ding international cuisine na natutunan. Kaya ang timbang ko ngayon ay pumalo na ng 54kg. (EEW!) Imagine from 45kg na pinakamababang timbang ko nung 2020? GRABE! Nag-baligtad lang mga numero. Ganun pa man, isa itong motivation na pwede kong gamitin sa pag-blog para ma-inspire ulit ako na parehong gawin ang pag-diet at pag-susulat. Alam ko malayo na tayo sa January para mag “New Year, New Me” goal pero BAKIT BA? Walang mag-babago kung mag-hihintay tayo ng ibang panahon at mag-dadahilan. Tingin ko pwede naman tayong mag-bago anong araw man yan.
Bukod sa OPLAN BALIK ALINDOG. Meron pa kong mas matinding health issue na pinag-daanan past 2 years. Nadiskubre namin ng O.B ko na may CYST ako sa parehong obaryo. Noong una grabe yung nginig na ko kasi sabi kailangan daw maoperahan ako! Sinuggest niya din naman na humingi ako ng 2nd opinion sa ibang O.B. AT yun naman ang ginawa ko! Humanap ako agad ng bagong OBGYN. Sinubukan namin paliitin yung cyst gamit pills ng ilang buwan. Hinitay namin kung anong magiging reaksyon ng cyst. Gumawa kami ng madaming test at ultrasound para makita ang kabuuang kalagayan ng reproductive system ko. Buti naman wala namang malalang sintomas na mag-sasabing kailangan ko kaagad maoperahan. Lumiit ang cyst pero konti lang naman ang pagbabago. Dahil hindi naman sobrang sama ng kalagayan ko gaya ng una kong akala, napagdesisyunan kong hindi muna ako mag-paopera. Pwede naman siya tanggalin during labor at kaya naman talaga ako nagpacosulta sa OB para humanap ng tao na makakatulong sa aming hindi maipaliwanang na infertility. Dun ako pinakilala ng second O.B ko sa pangatlong O.B ko na experto sa Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility.
IUI(Intrauterine insemination)
Why did we plan to undergo an IUI treatment during a pandemic? Simple! We have more time with each other during this time he's still working at home, which is less stressful. I also stopped working, that's why I could say that we're fully focused on this. We did a lot of tests, as in we gave a lot of effort to this! And I will reveal more of that to my next blog.
IUI(Intrauterine insemination)
Bakit naman nitong pandemic pa naisipan mag-pa IUI? Simple! Marami kaming oras sa isa't-isa nitong work from home siya, kaya less stress. Tumigil na din ako pag-trabaho kaya naka-focus talaga kami. Marami kaming ginawang test, as in full effort! I-shishare ko yan sa susunod na blog.
Fitness
I'm not working out as frequently as before. From 2021 up until now, the only exercise that I sometimes do is morning walking for at least thrice a week, which reaches 10,000 to 15,000 steps. It depends on how far we can continue to stroll. This is my sweet escape during those times when the outdoor activities restriction was still tight. This has been a big help to my mental health, and much more I love the happy people I am with.
Fitness
Hindi na ako kasing active sa exercise compare dati. Mula 2021 until now ang exercise na nagagawa ko na lamang ay 3x a week na paglalakad tuwing umaga na umaabot ng 10,000 to 15,000 steps. Depended yun kung gaano kalayo ang kayang lakarin namin. Ito yong sweet escape ko during the time na sobrang bawal pa lumabas. Naging malaking tulong ito sa mental health ko lalo't masasaya ang mga nakakasama ko.
Plantita
Like most Filipino populations during the pandemic, I also joined the cult of PLANTITO and PLANTITA. My small purchases of plants become more and much more until I already received a box full of plants delivered to the house. So also expect some plant blog in the next few days.
Plantita
Gaya karamihan sa populasyon ng mga pilipino. Ako ay naging kaanib din ng kulto ng mga PLANTITO at PLANTITA. Yung paisa-isa na bili, naging patatlo-tatlo hanggang sa minsan isang box na yung dineliver na haaman dito sa bahay. Kaya asahan niyo na tungkol halaman ko sa mga susunod na araw.
Animal Crossing New Horizon
I already talked about this one in my previous blog that one of the gifts I received from my hard-working husband during his business trip in Thailand is a Nintendo Switch Lite? Well, we sold that after I build my own island, I got bored playing it. But it's okay! We still have another Nintendo Switch so I can still play on Charles's island. I reconstructed it and make it looks like it was owned by a girl. One day I will tour you all there!
Animal Crossing New Horizon
Na-share ko din ito noon sa previous blog diba na isa sa regalo ng asawa ko sakin katas ng Thailand trip niya yung Nintndo Switch Lite? Well nabenta na siya dahil hindi ko din na nagagamit pagka-tapos kong ma-build yung island ko ay nabored din ako. Ayos lang nabenta, nandito pa naman yung Nintendo Switch namin kaya nakapag-laro pa din ako sa ISLAND. Nire-construct ko at ginawang pangbabae yung island niya. I-totour ko kayo don one day.
Travel
Travel
Konti pa lang napuntahan ko nung medyo nitong nag-luwag na ang restriction dahil sa pag-baba ng cases ng Covid dito sa Pilipinas. Nasilip na namin yung infamous dolomite last 2020, tapos this year Pico De Loro beach and Laguna yun pa lang yung pinakamalayong napuntahan ko. Bukod diyan, mall, cafes, park, yun pa lang yung madalas kung mapuntahan.
Uplive
One of my hobbies since September last year is Uplive, it's a live streaming app like Kumu, and BIGO. Aside from some cash that you can earn, it was also very entertaining you can join several contests, games, and you can talk to a lot of people. You can show your talent there while you're on-air or you can just simply chat with people. So if you're bored like me, download the app now!
Uplive
Isa sa mga libangan ko since September last year ay ang Uplive, isang live streaming app gaya ng KUMU, BIGO.. Bukod sa maari kang kumita dito, nakaka-aliw din dahil may mga pa-contest, pa-laro at sobrang dami mong makakausap na tao. Pwede mo pakita talent mo habang naka-live ka o kahit chika-chika lang. Kaya kung bored ka tulad ko, i-download mo na!
Beauty
If you're living alone at home, aside from the ceiling, your pet dog Buknoy. Oftentimes, the only face you see is yourself in the mirror. And because we have nothing much to do at home, we notice those flaws in our bodies. Am I the only one who's like that? Seemingly, I became vainer during the pandemic. As a result, I think I have a lot of recently purchased beauty products to review.
Beauty
Kung mag-isa ka lang sa bahay, bukod sa kisame, at alaga mong si Buknoy. Madalas, sarili mo lang sa salamin ang nakikita mo wala ng iba. At dahil wala din namang ibang gagawin sa bahay, kung ano-anong flaws ang nakikita ko sa aking katawan. Ewan ko kung ako lang? Sobrang naging vain talaga ako nitong pandemic. Kaya naman nahilig din ako sa mga skin care products at kung ano-ano pa na pang-paganda. Kaya marami-rami di akong i-rereview na make-up at iba pang anik-anik sa katawan.
Entertainment
I'm so hooked at Film and Music. It became my mood booster in the morning and at night. It influence me in many ways, I learned a lot of words, phrases, and other languages, that I can use to Uplive and to my blog.
Entertainment
Sobrang na-hook din ako sa Film at Music. Naging pangpagising at pangpatulog ko ang pakikinig ng music. Malaking influensiya din sa akin yung mga napapanuod ko sa Netflix, ang dami kong natutunan na bagong salita, kasabihan sa ibang lenguahe na nagagamit ko sa Uplive at sa blog ko.
It was great to talk to you again!
