Good thing to remember about DR Ph when discussing the winner is:

Marina outperformed everyone the whole season

Precious outperformed everyone at the finale

DRAG RACE PH SEASON 3

This girl is back again in her drag race era! I have watched DRPH Season 1 and it was the first Drag Race franchise I have watched. Shoutout to Bie for influencing me! Anyway, I love that season and the queens very much that I didn't watch the season 2 because I can't let go of the previous season. And now, DRPH is back with Season 3 and this girl (me) is so obsess with it! I am loving this season so freakin' much!!!! Grabe, mauubos na lalamunan ko kakatawa! Annnnnd if I can describe this season in one word, it would be: DRAMA. A total drama and I'm loving every bit of it!

(I remember in S1, my bias was Brigiding. I got so kilig when she replied to my message and liked my IG stories of her and Divine Divas.)

My bias now in S3 is Maxie Andreison and I can't tell you enough!!! In drag, sobraaaang ganda! Out of drag, sobraaaang gwapo! I can't…. plus she's a (LIVE) singer, dancer, and did theater (so she can basically act)!!! She's a SUPERSTAR! Very very talented and very very humble huhu. It's my dream to watch her perform live!!! Aggghhhh, please bring me to Maxie!

'Di ba???? Sobrang ganda, ughhhh!!!!

As for my top 3 queens, it would be: Maxie, Khianna and Angel. Maxie and Angel are biologically sibilings and I swearrrrr their bond is so sweet. <3 As for Khianna, girrrrrl!!!! She a baddie!!! Parang Marina Summers ang atake. Talagang ~COMPETITION~!!! Pak!!!

And Angel is so funny!! Grabe sobrang ALIW! Walang episode na hindi ka matatawa kay bakla! Lol!

Excited for episode 7!!!

2023 HIGHLIGHTS

Half of the year has passed and it's just now that I had the time and energy to do my 2023 highlights 😅 Lol better late than never! I'm doing this anyway for archive and memories when I look back and reminisce those times 🤍

Drag Race PH S1 Stars in Cebu

Finally met the queens from Drag Race Philippines Season 1 - Minty Fresh, Eva Le Queen, and Lady Morgana! They were all so beautiful and stunning! From their makeup, costumes, to their performances, they all SLAYED! Queens from the local Cebu drag scene also surprised us with their wow-mazing performances especially Letina Lyccah's performance. Lip syncing Alexia's Happy while throwing and giving out products named "Happy" to the audience was the best!!! (I got Happy peanuts lol). Such an entertainment to enjoy Sinulog night with some of the most famous drag queens in the country.

Spring Vacation in South Korea

Savored what was left of spring when we visited South Korea last year. Wrote more about this memorable trip in four South Korea 2023 blog posts hihi

Honne Concert

It wasn't just a Honne concert. It was Honne + Beka !!! Crying Over You is my favorite Honne song, so to witness them perform it with Beka made it all the more complete as if I'm listening it in Spotify but BETTER. The end of their concert tho with those visuals made us 🥺🥺🥺 (iykyk). Enjoyed the concert so much especially that I was with the company of my friends who I hadn't seen for a while hehe.

Turned a year older

This was a sad birthday because I was not able to enjoy it as much as I would have wanted to. Failed to enjoy the moment when I had a short dinner with my family because I had to go back to school immediately for a rehearsal :( My birthday fell within Intrams + Cookout week so acads and org life was just very hectic :/

Oh well, the world does not stop for me. I turned 22 last year. But wasn't feeling it just like Taylor Swift. It was Nothing New > 22, if you know what I mean.

My First Internship

Summer who? We don't know her! We only know internship!! Last academic year was wild and hectic because we only had a one-week break from second sem and immediately transitioned to being interns. Honestly, I've never legit worked before so this internship was somewhat my first work experience. For a month I mostly did marketing collaterals for an HR management system they developed.

I really wanted my first work experience to be in an organization that's not toxic and stifling. Looking back, I'm glad that I had my internship in MYT because everyone was so welcoming and approachable. We always had free lunch and snacks, and we also joined in their foundation's outreach program on our last day. I love that they also give back to the community and sponsor scholars.

I was also able to sit down and talk to the founders of the company and learned so much from them as well as my growth here. I'm so grateful for the experience because I also learned so much especially with being resourceful on how I can create marketing collaterals with the resources available (thank you Canva for making video animation and editing possible and easier! haha).

Exploring the City of Smiles

Visited Bacolod with the fam! Went to The Ruins, Campuestohan Highland Resort, Ilaya Highland Resort, etc etc (only a few we could fit in our sched). And of course we indulged in their most known delicacies - Eron's Cansi, Calea's cakes, Napoleones from Merzci (+ other brands actually), BongBong's Piaya, Chicken Inasal in Manokan Country, (Bar) 21's Batchoy, and brunch and pastries at Cafe Bobs! We indulged in more food than places so this was a food trip haha happy tummy = happy Andie!

Mayday Parade's 2nd Concert in Cebu

Three Cheers for Five Years since they last played in Cebu for the first time in 2019. That time they promised to be back. Five years later, they kept their promise. Mayday Parade, thank you for accompanying my emotional masochist ass when I was in high school (oahverrr). I'll always be an emo kid 🖤

Performed in a Musical Play

As a wannabe musical actress, I took the opportunity to perform in a short and sweet musical play competition representing our university. We won and were headed for nationals yayyyy

I was really excited when they chose me to be in the musical because that time, I was not able to deliver a lot of acting performances in my org. I couldn't say that I was that good in acting. But to be feeling (lol), I was kinda confident in my singing since I grew up listening and singing to Disney and musical songs. So this was my chance to do what I love.

It was my first musical play (and a competition at that), but playing in a musical in front of a large audience kinda excites the theater kid in me 🥰 (Broadway and West End, I know you're too far, but a girl can dream HAHA LOL)

Last year was very busy and hectic tbh so these were the highlights that I can remember BUT there's so much learning and growth that happened that year. Gratefulness for everything is just pouring everywhere despite the sad and overwhelming days <3 Thank you, 2023! 🌟

Love,

Andie
