Thinking about all the New Year’s resolutions I pl Thinking about all the New Year’s resolutions I plan to do this year…how long do you think you’d stick to your goals? #nyresolution #newyear
2024 has been a year of extremes – filled with the 2024 has been a year of extremes – filled with the highest highs and the lowest lows. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and triumphs, but looking back, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for everything I’ve experienced. From the pure joy of getting engaged to the emotional and unforgettable reunion with my relatives in the Philippines since COVID, this year has gifted me moments that will stay with me forever. Reconnecting with family in such a meaningful way was something I didn’t realize I needed, and it’s a memory I’ll cherish always. 

On top of that, I had the amazing opportunity to finally solo travel to Europe for the first time – a dream I’ve worked so hard to turn into reality. It’s been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life, and it’s a reminder that the hard work and perseverance always pay off.

This year hasn’t been without its challenges, but each twist and turn has taught me something invaluable, such as changing jobs and dealing with online harassment and impersonation. Through it all, I’ve learned the importance of resilience, staying true to myself, and embracing all the beautiful moments life has to offer, even the tough ones.

As I look ahead to 2025, I’m filled with excitement and anticipation. I truly believe it’s going to be my best year yet. New opportunities, new adventures, and more memories waiting to be made – I’m ready for whatever comes next! ✨ What are you prioritizing for 2025?

Want to see a Broadway show without breaking the b Want to see a Broadway show without breaking the bank? 💸 Rush tickets are the secret! 🎭 

This is something my friend @belikelydi and I like to do that I feel like most tourists don’t know - even if you’re a broadway fan! 

Most shows offer same-day, deeply discounted tickets when you show up early. Just get to the theater, line up, and you could snag a front-row seat for a fraction of the price. 

I loved that we were able to snag third row orchestra seats for @chicagomusical for under $100! It’s the best way to experience Broadway magic on a budget! ✨ #BroadwayHacks #RushTickets #NYCTheater #CheapSeats #BroadwayLife

Since getting engaged last September, I’ve felt li Since getting engaged last September, I’ve felt like this new season of my life was incomplete without celebrating it with the ones who’ve supported, known, and raised me since day one 🥹 I’m beyond touched by the beautiful engagement party that truly captured the feeling of stepping into this next chapter as a future Mrs. 💐 

Grateful beyond words to have shared this special moment with my family, and to celebrate love, growth, and all the unforgettable memories ahead. 💍✨

Special shoutout to my Tita Edna for hosting the party and to my mom and the rest of my titas who have contributed in decorating, providing food, and hosting the activities throughout this fun day 💕
