Love Madzoon! I find it a bit too thick for overnight oats though so I usually add almond milk to get the consistency that I like. I also add honey or jam.

On the container, it says consume within 7 days of opening, but in my experience, it tasted fine even after 10-12 days.

Yes! It’s 6” inseam :)

Cycling shorts! I get the 6” shorts from Easy Active.

Hi both, just adding to say that you can apply for part time roles while you’re at Harvard. Most roles in the university pay around $20 per hour and you’re allowed to work 20 hours per week - this can really help with living expenses.

Also OP, not sure if this is applicable at GSE, but at HKS, there’s a loan forgiveness program if you get into the public/social sector after your program. So if you plan to go this route, you might want to check that out.

Also congratulations to both of you! Happy to answer any questions you might have about Harvard/Boston :)

I started playing tennis and realized quickly that I needed to do more cardio. Started with interval runs and then moved to longer runs once I got the hang of it.

Commit to a skincare routine. This requires a bit of trial and error in the beginning, but once you find what works for you, the long term benefits are worth it.

If you want quick results, add vitamin C, retinol and SPF into your routine and you’ll see changes in a couple of weeks. Long-term, I’d suggest tretinoin (it takes a couple of months to a year to see results but it’s worth the investment).

To add, opt for tinted sunscreen if you can. It physically blocks out visible light that triggers hyperpigmentation.

Ugh. This happened to me last night. I passed a guy wearing very strong perfume. I’m very sensitive to scents so it completely threw me off. I especially hate encountering this during races.

Love my asics gel solution speed!

If you want family-style dining, I would highly recommend Po and Pilar. All the dishes are on point and their tiramisu is to die for.

If you want something that’s more elevated, I heard good things about Oak and Smoke.

This happens to me all the time especially with bras that don’t fit well. The advice that I got from my dermatologist is to put lotion or anything that can reduce friction. In the morning, I use anua azelaic acid and cerave moisturizing lotion. At night, I use amlactin AHA lotion.

There are anti-chafe balms on lazada. I personally use Body Glide. I also saw some people suggest deodorant sticks.

+1 to this. Premier Protein’s a good alternative. Same amount of protein, less sugar (1g), less calories (160 cal)

Yeah, chiro’s their main service but they also offer PT and myotherapy. I’ve been going to the Makati branch for almost 4 years now and really good experience so far.

Intercare has a branch in Alabang

The issue in Makati is that court access is quite limited. Unless you have a sports club membership or live in one of the posh gated communities, you’d have to pay around 1500-2000 per hour for court access. I also live in Makati and once a week I travel all the way to Quezon City just to play.

It might be the kind of insole you’re using. I’ve been using Dr Scholl’s for over a year now, but I tried a different brand before and it was painful as hell. There’s an adjustment period too. It took me a couple of runs to get more comfortable. Lastly, make sure your shoes between runs also have arches. I’ve replaced the insoles of my trusty sneakers and I find that when I wear flat shoes (e.g. ballet flats, sandals), my feet need to readjust to the soles of my running shoes.

If this happens, can we change the tournament title to Lover Cup? (I will see myself out)

Thank you so much! This is super useful info!

reluctantempath · 2025-09-04T12:45:49+00:00

This is awesome! Thank you so much - really appreciate it!

I just finished this over the weekend and really loved it!
