Random potato sharing random experiences.
My husband won a roundtrip flight to Japan!!!! 🤯
But honestly? I didn't expect there would be a highlight like this in our Pokemon Run experience last week.
Everything was a fail on D-day until the final raffle draw.
But before that, let me clear things up for those who are saying the registration slots for the run were bought by scalpers (because I read this a lot on Runrio's comments section whenever I'm visiting their page for updates).
I won't beat around the bush.
I got my screen replaced at Samsung Service Center Dagupan and that's what solved the problem.
How much?
Php 16,450.
That includes everything: the screen & the labor.
Yes, that is expensive.
But I realized why after I got my phone back.
Dude, the sides of the phone were part of the replacement.
It was almost half of the phone.

Honestly, I was anxious these past few weeks because there is something I want to achieve but I don't know how.
That made me restless even though I am on a holiday break.
We are on the last day of the year, and I still haven't figured out the way to that goal. 😅
But for now, I will pause for a few hours from thinking about the future and spare some time to look back at the happenings in my life during this year...while drinking some wine. 🍷
I didn't imagine myself going down a rabbit hole, but here I am. 😅
It all started on my birthday, when I ordered Laneige's Neo Cushion Matte during their 8.8 Exclusive sale.
I have been wanting to have this since I can't remember when, so when I stumbled across their Lazada official store with a good price, I checked it out on my birthday.
It arrived three days later and it came with some freebies.
So, we had our second company retreat last week, from November 11 to 15, 2024.
Where and when was the first retreat, you may ask? It was in Vietnam last year, from December 4 to 8, 2023, and as procrastinator as I am, I still haven't finished it and decided to write the recent one instead since it's still fresh! Lol
But here's a photo of us from last year's retreat as a sneak peak.

This year, there were seven (7) of us who met up for our second retreat which was held in Baguio city, Philippines.
Our boss travelled all the way from London, and one of our colleagues travelled from Indonesia.
The rest of us are scattered here in the Philippines.
I wonder if I can include our photos in my post, but I will take the courage and include some. 😛
Of course.
In our generation today, paikli na ng paikli ang buhay, so every year that gets added to our age is an achievement in itself.
So many challenges to face.
So many things to think about.
So many decisions to make.
So many sources of stress.
But I'm happy to say, I am happy, contented and peaceful at where I am today. 🫶
That is the most important para mas marami pa tayong magawa sa buhay.
The process was easy and it didn't take us too long.
So let me tell you our experience with the car registration renewal.
