June

June felt like a quiet month at first, but looking back, there were still a few moments worth remembering.

Jas had her company outing, and even though I wasn’t there, it was nice seeing her enjoy, relax, and take a break from the usual routine.

On my end, I continued my driving lessons. Still a work in progress, but every session feels like a small win. I was so scared for every quiz. 

And lastly, we had an issue with our Pag-IBIG house that we needed to sort out. Medyo hassle, pero at least we’re taking steps to fix it and move forward.

Nothing too big this month, but sometimes even these small updates shape the bigger story of our year.

May

May turned out to be one of those months filled with simple joys and meaningful moments. 

We started the month by celebrating Aries and Elaine’s house blessing. It was nice to gather, eat good food, and pray together for their fresh start.

A few days later, we headed to ATC with the TFs. It’s always a good time with the gang, just catching up, laughing over random things, and making the most of the moments while Hacinth was in town.

Then came Mother’s Day, and we spent it with a refreshing swimming trip. Just family time, water, sunshine, and seeing everyone unwind.  

I'm just so happy seeing them both have fun swimming. 

We also had a nice Italiani’s lunch with the fam.  

And finally, a new milestone for me this month: driving school. First time behind the wheel, first time doing all the real driving stuff. Nakakakaba pero nakakatuwa. Never thought that I'll drive a car in my life.

There's something truly special about packing our bags and embarking on an adventure with family. This vacation was more than just a getaway—it was about slowing down, soaking in laughter, and cherishing every precious moment with my wife and our curious, delightfully silly one-year-old son.

This photo captures a beautiful memory from Boracay, where we celebrated our little one's first birthday. We played in the sand, rode in a boat, and created moments that will stay with us forever.

Looking at breathtaking scenery is always a special experience—it makes you truly appreciate the beauty of the world we live in. But there’s something even more magical about seeing it through your child’s eyes, watching their wonder and amazement unfold before you.

These are the moments that make all the hard work and hustle worth it—the ones that remind us why we do what we do.

San Chai

San Cai's death is something I never thought would affect me so deeply. Her character was not just part of a TV show; she defined a generation! 

The news of Barbie Hsu's passing shocked us, especially those of us who grew up watching her. It was literally 1 week before her passing; I was streaming some songs from the show for a nostalgia ride. But now, the song is even more sad. 

"Meteor Garden" is a show that probably shaped us in one way or another, influencing our decisions in life. It wasn’t just entertainment; it was a phenomenon that taught us about love, friendship, and standing up for our beliefs. It even helped us appreciate non-native and English songs—especially Taiwanese music.

The impact of the show on us is undeniable. It left an indelible mark on our hearts and minds, becoming part of our identity, and the characters felt like friends we grew up with. 

Whenever we see one of the cast members in another show or a clip, we always refer to them by their character names from "Meteor Garden." The characters have become synonymous with the actors who portrayed them. We will always call Jerry Yan "Dao Ming Si," and Barbie Hsu will forever be "San Cai" to us.
