The first episode of #RomanceClass Tambayan ran for two-and-a-half hours, and frankly, we still couldn't believe people actually stuck around for that long 😅 We played a modified bingo game and reminisced about past #romanceclass events, events we now deeply miss because we still can't see each other like before. 😭
.
.
Thank you so much to everyone who hung out with us last Saturday night! 🥰 We'll be having more of these, we promise...but we are also open to YOUR ideas! Let us know what you want us to do or who you wanna see at the next #RCTambayan, and we'll see what we can do! ❤ For now, you can catch the replay on the #romanceclass Twitch and YouTube channels! See you all again soon!

🎉🎉🎉 Datu and Kalila have officially joined the party! 💜 PH residents may now buy paperback copies of #KeepingMissKalila from my website (tarafrejas.com/orderform) or the @romanceclassbooks website (romanceclassbooks.com). Read more about the book below:
.
.
SYNOPSIS // With a job that she loves, an adorable senior dog, and a baby she fought hard to conceive on the way, life is going well for thirty-one-year old school teacher Kalila Rayos. That is, until her ex-boyfriend and first love, filmmaker Datu Alvez asks if they could try again.
.
.
Saying yes shouldn’t be too difficult. After all, she’s still also in love with him and Datu’s efforts to be there for her make her feel she truly has it all. But on top of her worries as a soon-to-be mom, a crisis that hits her school forces her to shift her priorities away from her own desires.
.
.
Will the one who got away be strong enough to stay, or will their second chance at love crumble and break her heart once more?

Ngiting last day of work for the week cos na-approve ang leave ng lola niyo! Borlog borlog din pag may time, amirite? 😊

My "treat yo'self" haul last week. I barely managed my skin care since the lockdown began, and unsurprisingly I ended up with really bad breakouts, especially in the last month. Been using @apothekescience's products (got 'em on Lazada!) since last week and so far, my acne has calmed tf down. Let's see how well I maintain this new regimen. 😊 Happy Monday!

Masama na naman yang binabalak mo ah! 🤣 . . . .

Every time someone makes a comment about my weight

Every time someone makes a comment about my weight, my go-to response is an awkward laugh + something along the lines of "Ang sarap po kasing kumain" and "Sobrang stressed kasi." More often than not, these are people who have known me since I was a patpatin young girl, and really...I can't blame them for being surprised. I hope they know, though, that no matter how confident I may seem in their eyes, their comments make me loathe myself.
.
.
I mean...it's MY body. I KNOW I gained a lot of weight, steadily since 2006 (I think), and I HAVE tried a lot of things to get back into shape: Exercise, a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, calorie counting, sugarless food etc. Have I not tried hard enough? Maybe. At the beginning of the year I lost almost 6kg in two months because I built myself a routine and followed a strict diet, too. But the lockdown messed everything up. I stress ate. I slept less and less because of anxiety. I wasn't able to exercise everyday like I used to because work drained the life out of me at the end of the day. So yeah...I gained back 3 of the 6kg I lost. Haha.
.
.
I keep wondering if I'm just undisciplined. If I'm making "self-care" an excuse to not do the things I have been doing for the first three months of the year. Seriously...just like these people who might have been meaning well by pointing out how much weight I gained, I REALLY want to get back in shape too. I want to fit into some of my old clothes. I want to not look awkward in photos. I want to look at myself in the mirror and not cringe, basically. It's just...really difficult, especially now. And I really, really, REALLY wanna be kinder to myself, so please...don't make it more difficult for me to love my body. It's already tough being at peace with my physical appearance since maybe forever, so if you could keep those comments to yourself, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
