Journal Entry for November 29, 2024:

It was a productive yet reflective day. I started with a morning walk and self-care, which set the tone for organizing my day. I focused on lesson plans and Canva sheet designs, keeping my creative side alive. Lunch was a comforting plate of chicken adobo, paired with some fresh fruits for balance.

The afternoon was physically and emotionally engaging as I met Gail for strength training and serious talks. Later, I attended to errands: dropped off an item, visited the optometrist, and even splurged on Bayonetta frames while considering Miu Miu ones. My expenditures today made me mindful of budgeting.

The evening was slower-paced, with classes and hotel bookings completed. My solo outing to White Moon had a bittersweet vibe, as I wondered if these quiet escapes are becoming too frequent. Still, I returned home feeling accomplished.

Kylie is possibly looking into helping me with the business I’m planning, which was exciting to discuss. We also chatted about my cousin Cherry, who's expecting her first child. It was nice to hear about the good things happening for people around me, though I can’t help but wonder when it will be my turn.

In the evening, I went grocery shopping and got everything I needed: detergent, meat, cheeses, and a few snacks. When I got back, I invited Kylie over, and we had a homemade dinner.

The washing machine, bookshelf, and closet mirror were successfully moved to Green Valley, which took place around 9:00 AM. The transport cost ₱1,500, paid in cash.

In the afternoon, I spent some time at home booking my flights. It was a bit tedious, and I felt I could’ve had someone else do it. I booked three flights: one with China Airlines from Ho Chi Minh to Taiwan (12/23/2024), another from Taiwan to Hong Kong (12/30/2024), and a final one with Philippine Airlines from Hong Kong to Manila (12/31/2024). The flight costs added up to ₱17,831 and ₱93,313, paid from my PNB account.

Later, I stayed in and finished reading Kafka on the Shore. I also made a simple dinner, cooking chicken with garlic honey glaze and aglio olio pasta. I ordered cheesecake from La Brent as a treat for the evening. It was a peaceful day, and I ended it with more reading before bed.

Had a conversation with Ate Mila about selling the house for ₱2 million. I stressed that the buyer must pay within this year; otherwise, I’ll refund any payments received and sell to someone else. Mentioned that I’m migrating for a job and might not return for a few years. 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM: Held Carla's class. 12:30 PM: Ordered salad from Rachel Bakehouse (₱500, GCash). 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Visited the city library after having a Matcha Strawberry Latte (₱180, Cash on Hand).

Journal Entry for November 20, 2024 (Wednesday)

The day began with a walk at 5:00 AM, helping clear my thoughts. By 6:00 AM, I got to work mopping the floor and prepping food. Cristiane’s class at 7:00 AM went smoothly, and by 8:00 AM, I headed to GV via taxi (₱250) to collect my laundry.

While there, I had a productive conversation with Ate Mila about the house. We agreed to sell it for ₱2 million, but I made it clear that payment must be completed by year-end. If not, I’ll refund any partial payments and sell the property to someone else. I shared that I’m migrating soon for work and might not return for years, emphasizing the urgency.

Carla’s class from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM was productive. At 12:30 PM, I treated myself to a salad from Rachel Bakehouse (₱500, GCash), followed by a relaxing afternoon at the city library from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. I enjoyed a Matcha Strawberry Latte (₱180) before diving into Kafka on the Shore. It felt refreshing to slow down and immerse myself in a book.

By 4:00 PM, I was home after another taxi ride (₱189). At 4:30 PM, I confirmed a mover for Saturday to handle my washing machine and closet, ticking off another item on my moving checklist. Dinner preparation at 5:30 PM went well—salmon steak with mashed potatoes and barley tea felt like a well-earned treat after a full day.

Dinner at 6:30 PM was enjoyed alongside Jeongnyeon: A Star is Born, which was quite entertaining. Later, I spent time checking on students and bookmarking flights, before winding down the day with a walk and completing lesson plans for the week. Journaling at 11:00 PM was the perfect way to wrap up a busy yet fulfilling day.

Journal Entry

It feels great to finally move in, though the process is exhausting. Kylie and I had some meaningful conversations about our business partnership. Her trust and business mindset give me confidence in this venture, and I’m excited about attending barista and pastry classes together. The condo is starting to feel like home, but I still need to complete the kitchen setup. Tonight was relaxing—we laughed, ate, and watched movies. It's a promising start to this new chapter.

Journal Entry:

Today was focused on moving low-key to the Brent condo unit. I wanted to avoid drawing attention to the move, so we packed and transported things discreetly. Ran went ahead with some items, while I handled errands like buying large suitcases and packing supplies. Classes were lighter today, with a few cancellations. I received payments from Bell’s Insight and Carla, which was a relief. The evening was calmer, with a short walk and a treat at Foam Coffee Shop. I ended the day organizing my thoughts and reflecting on the move.

Reflection: A busy but productive day! I finally registered for tax purposes, met the lawyer, and registered at PNB for a credit card. I also met with Gail and discussed my personal training goals. I’m serious about getting fit, and I’m glad she accepted the offer. I ordered a Nintendo Switch for fun, and I’ve started making plans for Ran’s tuition, my driving license, and other financial goals. I talked to Rhea today; still unsure if I should confess to her just yet. At the end of the day, I reflected on my priorities for the future, including business goals and personal goals.
