Hey everyone! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, MJDAYDREAM. This isn't just about me, though. It's about all the beautiful things that make life special: the wonderful people we meet, the adorable animals that brighten our days, and the breathtaking beauty of nature.If you've had the pleasure of meeting me, you probably know I'm a perpetual smiler. Unless I'm experiencing a severe hunger attack, you'll rarely catch me without a grin. And if you tell me your name, consider it etched in my memory forever! I seem to have this uncanny ability to remember everyone I meet, even years later. It's a quirky blessing, I suppose.

My passions are simple: Clothes and shoes, delicious food (especially a steaming bowl of ramen, no matter the weather!), and appreciating the little things. I genuinely stop to say hello to squirrels, birds, and even the humble Mr. and Mrs. Roly Poly on my hikes.

My story starts on a farm, a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Raw papaya and jackfruit weren't just treats; they were staples. My childhood was filled with river baths, barefoot adventures, and tree climbing. I collected snails for lunch and hunted mud crabs under rocks. Life was simple, content, and illuminated by gas lamps at night. I slept on a woven bamboo bed and ate with my bare hands.

As a teenager, I took a nanny job, which eventually turned into helping my dad care for my siblings. It was a means to an end, a way to save money and pursue my education in the city. I was a proud working student, determined to make my dreams a reality.

Fast forward—I got married young and moved to the United States, where I built my own family. I earned a degree in Business Administration in Office Information and landed a fulfilling high-tech job. Not a day goes by that I don't express my gratitude for everything I have. Life has taken me down some challenging roads, but I believe every day is a gift, an opportunity to experience its beauty. As they say, "You only live once," but I say, "We live every day, so make it count!"

Today, my life is a beautiful blend of my rustic roots and the joys of modern living. I still cherish the simple pleasures: the sweet taste of ripe fruit, the invigorating feeling of a mountain hike, and the pure joy of riding my "silly bike." Food remains a passion, a culinary adventure that fuels my soul.

Ultimately, MJDAYDREAM is a place of joy. Expect plenty of laughter, genuine smiles, and a celebration of the simple moments that make life extraordinary. Join me as I share my world—a world where the mountains meet the modern, where memories are cherished, and where every day is a dream waiting to be lived.

Beyond Ramen: Dancing, Karaoke, and My Furry Audience.

Other than indulging in a giant, soul-warming bowl of ramen, my favorite way to spend my time is dancing and getting lost in the music. There’s nothing quite like moving to the rhythm, feeling the beat pulse through my veins, and just letting go. But if I had to choose the ultimate pastime, it would have to be karaoke—especially when my two fur babies, Pickles and Mustache, are my audience.

Apparently, they love it when I sing. Or at least, they don’t run away. Which, let’s be honest, counts as approval.

I mean, who wouldn’t want to listen to a Filipina belting out songs at the top of her lungs, completely off-tune and always at least two beats ahead of the lyrics? It’s a talent, really—a unique performance art. Pickles and Mustache sit there, ears twitching, eyes wide, probably wondering why their human insists on turning the living room into a concert hall. Sometimes, Pickles will even meow along, which I like to think is his way of harmonizing (or protesting, but let’s go with harmonizing).

At the end of the day, whether I’m twirling on the dance floor, stuffing my face with ramen, or giving my cats an impromptu concert, it’s all about doing what brings me joy. And if Pickles and Mustache are willing to put up with my musical endeavors, then I’d say I have the best (and fluffiest) fan club ever.

A Glimpse Into My Dad’s Farm in the Philippines: The Heart of Rice Farming

You know when you're just feeling... blah? Like a cloud's moved in and decided to stay? Yeah, those days. Look, simple things work. Grab a little cream, or ice cream—whatever. Treat yourself. Jump on your bike and let the wind clear your head, or just go for a walk, you know? Get outside. Seriously, talk to a dandelion. They're surprisingly good listeners. Say hi to a squirrel, even if they just twitch their nose at you. And name the birds! Why not? Give 'em silly names. Then, when you get back to whatever you were doing, you'll feel... lighter. Like the gloom just kinda... evaporated. Trust me, it works
