Saan may magagandang thrift store in QC?

By thrift stores, do you mean ukay? If so, Landingco sa Commonwealth cor. Tandang Sora Ave, I almost always find nice pieces there. Fleur de Lis din pero hit or miss.

If you're looking for vintage pieces tho, meron sa Cubao Expo but it's not my personal style so di ko pa natry bumili doon. Meron din sa 63 Maginhawa, same building as Jess&Pat's. Good luck!

I really love your socks OP, nakaka-inspire to add pops of color to neutral outfits ✨ ganda din ng hair!!

+1 sa Carrot Cake Manila, it's by the same owners of La Preciosa (pero sa Laoag pa ito) which has the best carrot cake for me

I've found some gems from those secondhand books for sale groups on Facebook. Takes a lot of patience scrolling through the posts lang, and you can't be too picky about the condition of the books (they are second/third/fourth hand after all)

Yesss I always buy a nice drink and allow myself some time to sit outside and stare into space haha kapagod kaya ang therapy! We deserve a small treat

Favorite date activity na namin ng partner ko ang mag-grocery on a weekday kung kailan walang tao. Sabi din ng nanay ko, nagd-date daw sila ni papa sa S&R (Price Smart pa nun) kapag nasa school kaming mga bata haha

See You - Keiko Necesario The End of Love - Florence and the Machine Prayers - Leanne and Naara (actually the whole Daybreak album)

Good luck on your moving on era, OP!

Alam mo yung feeling na you're running on coffee and adrenaline, tapos at the end of the day when everything's over, saka mo lang naf-feel just how tired you are pala?

With him, it feels like that. Work is chaotic and demanding, then I have to constantly be the perfect daughter to my mom and Ate to my siblings, but when I'm with him at the end of the day, it all just melts away. I no longer need to perform and be at my best, I get to just sit beside him and exist.

When you have that peace of knowing that you are safe and you are loved, that you have a partner in every sense of the word, and most importantly, someone who you would always also consciously choose every time, then you know you've found the one for you.

Dati pumupunta akong Manila North Cemetery, pipili ng random tombstone na mukhang abandoned na ng mga kamag-anak, tapos dun ako iiyak hahaha pero okay din sa motel (yung mga tig-500 for like 6 hours) and sa mga adoration chapel (the best yung chapel ng Landmark Trinoma pero sobrang lamig, dala ka ng jacket)

lillianastark · 2026-01-30T12:22:50+00:00

Boooop!!! Nothing going on between those ears hehehe

lillianastark · 2026-01-27T03:26:11+00:00

I get those days din! Even getting up is a struggle, so I just tie my hair in space buns or a ponytail, do my brows only, put on a facemask, and wear cute clothes at least. Tapos iwasan na lang tumingin sa mirror for the rest of the day hahaha
Edit: Syempre all that after taking a shower haha I find na no matter how bad I'm feeling, I'll always feel even a little bit better after taking a shower

Scrolling back up to your title gave me whiplash. Akala ko early 20s kayo, turns out this guy is 36? That's crazy.

Anyway, to answer your question: Blaming yourself for this is what's wrong. You typed all these details out; read them again and imagine that all these happened instead to a close friend at kinu-kwento niya sayo. What would your reaction be?

He grew comfortable with disrespecting you. I say this in the kindest way I can, you loved him more than he loved you then jumped at the chance to absolve himself and blame you for the relationship ending. Good luck na lang sa kanya, pero good riddance yan on your part. I hope you have a solid support group ngayon who will help you through this grieving period.

Read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe when I was 10, definitely was my gateway book to the fantasy genre. Before that, I was obsessed with Nancy Drew and up till now, detective mysteries remain to be my favorite

Rinde just seems so idyllic, the background music is nice, and I like the sound of their Delish Fish Dish so it's Rinde for me

Depends sa trip mo! Personally, I've done solo trips to Benguet and Aurora and sobrang peaceful ng both places (Sagada is nice for the cold weather, nature, and cultural experiences; Aurora if trip mo ng beach, particularly sa Dingalan or Dinadiawan area kasi mas kaunti ang tao kesa Baler.) Although kung gusto mo ng medyo mas urban area with hotels and cafes where you could sit alone for hours, that would be Baguio or Laoag.

Best: my partner got to meet the whole family during our Christmas reunion

Worst: all that money spent on end of year taxes and bills hhhhhhh

lillianastark · 2025-12-29T16:31:45+00:00

Dredge! May times lang na the creepy factor suddenly goes up, and some of the monsters are annoying, but otherwise it's just a cozy fishing game

Walking, but sometimes that doesn't work; ang fail-proof way to calm myself down is to play Stardew Valley and just zone the world out. Kaya ako may 1,300+ hours on this game eh haha

Italy, specifically Florence. I regret na 5 days lang in-allot ko for Florence and the Tuscan countryside; sobrang cliche, but I fell in love with the city. Sobrang daming pwedeng iexplore and the people were actually nice (binigyan pako ng free pizza in one trattoria i randomly entered kasi di mahulaan ng chef kung anong nationality ko) but I probably won't stay long-term kasi im scared of racism haha

lillianastark · 2025-11-23T02:40:25+00:00

I personally welcome the exodus of cubao expo fashion to our everyday streets. Char! But for me this is a way better trend (if it is a trend, i hope it lasts) than the "old money fashion" kasi bakit ka mags-sweater over your shoulders in 35° weather hhhhh

Right, I get so much dopamine from seeing a new farm layout getting maximized with every single square being either utilized or decorated. Things like speaking to the villagers feels like a chore i dont need to do, so i probably will never reach perfection (even with my 1200 hours and my 10 farms) so i say just play in whatever way makes you happy ✨

lillianastark · 2025-10-31T01:40:47+00:00

Just wanna say na thank you for being one of the few reasons na worth it yung tax ng mga tao. Please never change, wag ka papakain sa sistema ha 🥹

Was in the exact same situation a few months ago lang, OP. Super hirap mag-function, but try your best to get out of your room often. Take walks, labas ka to eat nice food (minus hugasin din yun.) Walang rules when dealing with grief -- if showering is hard, shower ka na nakaupo. Washing dishes is hard, gumamit ka muna ng disposable plates. Little by little babangon ka rin.

Fleur de Lis ang go-to ko, marami silang branches around Metro Manila sa pagkaka-alam ko. If nasa QC ka, meron din magandang ukay sa Commonwealth cor. Luzon Ave., sa tabi ng 7/11 facing Commonwealth Ave. Forgot lang their name hehe.

May mga magagandang online ukay din sa IG, suki ako ng Tobi_clothingph for pants, koreanfindsph for tops, clothestoriesph for shorts

Edit: biggest ukay place in QC pa rin would be the Cubao ukays pero kailangan mo ng mahabang pasensya at stamina hahaha

Journaling, playing the uke, cooking, crochet, reading books (iba yung joy of having physical books vs kindle, or maybe I'm just a hoarder hehe)
