The luxury of time
Manila Bulletin
|July 05 2025
And just like that, we bid farewell to June, which means we are on to the second half of the year. I have been rather delinquent with my writing, and I must apologize. I have not forgotten about this space, and I promise to be more diligent this second half of the year.

I really have no excuse besides the fact that life happened, and trying to fully transition back into life as I once knew it (circa pre-pandemic) running a household, while juggling motherhood with a toddler, and wanting to be able to spend as much time with him as possible, still have time for my family and closest of friends can be quite overwhelming on some days that before I know it, another day has just passed me by.
So cliché, but so true, it is always quality over quantity, and I need to work on time management, but it is always easier said than done.
So as we approach this second half of the year, although it is a continuation of what was, it also brings about the promise of new beginnings. And I would like to mark mine with more meaning and intention.
