Ending the month of January

so many things happened over the past two weeks. i meant to blog about them but i just felt too lazy to do it. i'm a bit behind on my work so to speak.

so last week on the 21st to the 23rd, we went to manila to attend my dad's retirement party. or ceremony. whichever. the whole thing really felt surreal; there was a part in the ceremony where my dad had to formally announce his retirement in his speech and there was some sort of ritual when i couldn't quite put my feelings on it. i was partly happy and partly sad on what was happening and i couldn't decide which emotion i had to express.
