Many years ago, I used to discover promising brands and products through blogs and instagram accounts of famous personalities. In Filipino parlance, budol finds. Today, my source of budol shifted to You Tube and Tiktok. 

Recently, I discovered Eve & Adam from both my Tiktok and Instagram accounts. They introduce themselves as a local producer of bags for women. After stalking the brand and reviews for several months, I gave in. I purchased this Anika Baguette Sling Bag through their Shopee account.

This is how I remember the house of Tita Emy in Bulacan.

A few weeks ago, I finally had the chance to visit my mother's hometown. If things had gone my way, I would have done it with only my dad and my special brother.

What is it with the month of March?

I always have the most memories during this month. Four years ago, it marked the start of the nationwide lockdown in the Philippines. What we thought as a week long break extended to months then years. My past social media posts were mostly the situation at home and grocery trips with my father.
