Just bec. Aquarians go against the grain doesn’t mean we want to standout, it’s the need to do something for ourselves most of the time regardless of the status quo. Being original isn’t for attention, it’s for inner fulfillment. We never cared what everyone thinks.

I’ve worked w/rabiya, at 1st I didn’t like her, there was something “off” but now I understand her more. I totally get it & to experience this kind of rejection can really do a number in your head. I hope she finds the peace amidst this traumatic situation.

Remember: the "perfect" trauma or addiction recovery doesn't exist. A SUCCESSFUL recovery doesn't mean zero mistakes or relapses or sh*tty days or poor choices-- it means willingness to keep coming back to our recovery blueprint. To this day. This moment. Keep coming back.

Beautiful Twins, my nieces actually. Natural Makeup for Bayo. No false lashes, just plenty of mascara & best trick for a defined eye for natural looks: tight lining!

Grateful for the company of friends, lucky me ☺️

Recent sociopolitical issues had me on an unfriending frenzy, it’s good to clean up unwanted people in my feed, most of them I don’t personally knw, its ⏰ to put a user friendly stance in that sense..who will u benefit from most from these idiots? The passersby will definitely b axed. 🤭🤪

I selfishly dedicate this morning for myself, I’m all alone and not in the headspace to do anything for anyone. I need my serenity just for a few hours. Once in a while we need that space & if I don’t get that, I freak out inside..& that’s a no no. It’s like keeping a timebomb inside.

Duterte arrested, I just hope it stays that way and they won’t find a loophole for him to be free again. Do we distrust our justice system? Apparently yes!

Therapist told me to revisit old photos & if I remember what was I feeling at that time. This was masking anxiety, I’ve been so adept in hiding it in my youth that i was so tired frm keeping it all in & would sleep for more than 10hrs. Pressure exhaustion she says.

My mom’s world, that she generously shares to me and a few of my closest friends.

Saw this costume up close, at that time it was the closest I could get to Sharon.. little did I know 🥰

All of us who had trauma from fractured childhoods that manifest in certain negative habits as we grow older have different ways of coping. Some become toxic & controlling while others freely accept manipulation & abuse bec. We r so used to it.

Who doesn’t love Cher’s spidery 70s lashes.

Tibakets 🤣 mother Malou, Willy and Paul, maranan sisters, rom Dizon. Ako lang Ang bagets na anak ng mga tibakets 🤣

Credits to @akomrchow.bsky.social for putting me & my mom on the plane 🤣 bound for this wonderful trip. This japanophile found another favorite place to further explore. My own Hongkong holiday

Spur of the moment trip to HK (my 1st time) our 1st day felt like we’ve been traveling for a week, tuhog from 1 place to another. Jinn our HK based friend met with us in the afternoon and spread us like butter around town. Day 2 is commencing in a while, weather is rather 🥶

There r plenty of times when I question my talent/myself, the debilitating black hole of self-doubt that swallows you whole & u can’t get out , and suddenly a bright light surrounds you and gives you a rare opportunity to see what u r actually capable of doing, this was a much needed boost.

Hey brownie, I missed being the dark lady, was thrilled w/ the tan I got after how many years of taking care of my skin… cheers to skin damage.

Zoloft made me gain weight 😭

My philmar-Andie moment 🤣

Although makeup is ever evolving & everyone has the right to express themselves in whatever aesthetic they choose, I still mostly stick to the classics, I love trends but I don’t see myself as a trendy artist, not everyone looks good w/ trends, especially that douyin look these kids r crazy about.

Worried that your fan will get dusty and moldy during the wet season? Get a dust cover for your fan! Also put two silica gel packets inside

Finally getting my balance back ❤️

These r the miraculous times when the meds kicks in & I remain calm, while grandma rants & raves like a lunatic over something so insignificant. & this is the 1st time that I just sat there & felt nothing when it comes to her bipolar outbursts. Zoloft is today’s hero.

Ye old bitch waking up early

I lack a bit of sleep but I woke up feeling good today 🤩 hope it lasts

Wokeup with a very heavy heart, it’s one of those days where I just can’t function but I DID, I attended yoga class, still managed to crawl out of my dark headspace to do some talking to students. The universe has taken my case and kept me busy today. Thank you

I’m just getting by

Of having big ego and zero self esteem

Death smiled at me several times in my life, but in the course of trying to get it done. I was quickly shoved out of the deed by my “angels”, In my current state at the point in time, I’m happy it has not occurred to me to even think/act on it. Depression is debilitating that’s for sure.

I miss this kind of “gloom”

One topic everyone should avoid talking about is their religion. I dislike preachy bible thumpers who practically jam gods “words” into peoples throats.

Knowing your limits, acknowledging your own faults and working things out within the present time, gives the mind something to do and accomplish instead of dwelling in at times self inflicted confusion.

Showing up for myself w/a much needed solo stroll. I was able to get much needed sleep thanks to last night’s scotch on the rocks (only had half a glass) no meds for now. Im doing ok

Thank you for the work

It’s called showing up for yourself and those who need you. Anxiety ridden days have befallen on me. Therapy and meds barely working, but I’m here

Gloria Romero was one of my huge favorites. My late paternal grandmother idolized her and my mom adored her… i was slightly obsessed with everything G.R, collecting newspaper clippings of her, she was good copy for a gay guy like me. Nothing is forever but her legacy will continue, queen forever.

As usual they are barking up the wrong tree. Its flattering to attract the opposite sex, but insulting that I don’t attract the gays 🤣

The garden below my room, maintained by my 92 year old grandfather

Paul Gustave Fischer (1860-1934) Kopenhagen

That feeling where I thought my phone was vibrating , apparently it was gas 🤣🤣

Making faces @davidriley.bsky.social 🤣🤣

This toy has been with me for 36 years,and I never got rid of it, it was my Tita’s first gift to me. It sits on a special place in my bookshelf, one of the last items from my childhood, it has fallen apart with missing pieces but it will stay with me forever.
