Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights.

The highly anticipated event has finally arrived! But amidst the excitement, our dedicated cosplayer found themselves in a last-minute frenzy. You might wonder why, considering we had been given a two-month extension. Well, unexpected changes are not uncommon in the world of cosplay. Initially, my partner had been working on a Monster Hunter costume, but he wasn't satisfied with the outcome and decided to switch gears just a week before the event. The new character of choice? Vocaloid's Bottle Miku. However, even that didn't feel competition-worthy, so he made yet another change and ended up creating a unique Ball Joint Doll cosplay of his own design.
RUSHING TO GATHER MATERIALS AND PREPARE MAKEUP
With the sudden shift in cosplay plans, we found ourselves scrambling to gather the necessary materials and makeup just two days before the event. We hurriedly visited malls and stores like Mr. DIY to find everything we needed.
The dress had been chosen well in advance, with the intention of creating a Ball Joint fashion ensemble. Finally, the day had come to bring that vision to life. However, we felt that something was missing from the overall look. So, my partner decided to incorporate cat ears as a headpiece. I suggested bringing cat paws as well, but he hesitated, and in the end, we regretted not having them.
Swatching Revlon Colorstay in Natural
As for makeup, we bought most of the products at SM North, and they were all brand new, except for my trusty LA Girl concealer, which unfortunately wasn't available at the time. Even the HD foundation I needed wasn't in stock, so I had to make do with my previous one. Unfortunately, it started to clump up later on, which became a source of concern. Thankfully, the new Revlon Foundation proved to be a lifesaver. I'm immensely grateful for the lipstick freebie they gave me, which came in handy at that crucial moment.
On the final day, we ventured to Victory Mall, but we were disappointed with what we found. The shoes I had been looking for were no longer available. However, our spirits lifted when we decided to explore SM across the street, where we stumbled upon various interesting stores, including a Korean photobooth on the top floor. It was there that we found the perfect leggings for the cosplay. After our shopping spree, we grabbed a bite to eat at the mall's food court and indulged in some Sinigang.
THE DAY OF THE COSPLAY COMPETITION
I did my primary makeup at home and wore a hairnet to keep my hair in place. Since it was a Sunday, we were fortunate enough to get a reasonably priced Grab ride, costing only 300 instead of the usual 500 on weekdays. The journey was smooth, but we encountered a long line upon arrival. Knowing we needed ample time to prepare, we managed to bypass the line, fully aware that we would register later.
The Malabon Sports Complex was vast, with vents and fans ensuring a pleasant airflow. However, I couldn't help but worry about the temperature once I donned my costume. I knew it had the potential to become uncomfortably hot.
PREPARATION
As soon as we arrived, I hurriedly changed into my costume in the Women's C.R., conveniently located near our seating area. The venue was already abuzz with cosplayers in their gowns, makeup stations, and a stage set up for the competition. A photo booth and 360 booths also awaited our arrival.
Taking a closer look at the stage, I realized that despite its appearance, walking on it could be quite precarious. It had been three years since I last wore heels and walked confidently, so I silently prayed to avoid any embarrassing stumbles.
PHOTOSHOOT TIME
Getting my makeup ready took some time, but once it was done, I rushed to the photo booth. This was the highlight of the day for me—I absolutely love photoshoots! However, as someone who had become a Hikikomori during the pandemic, I struggled with posing. I knew I needed to work on that aspect of my performance.
CATWALK COSPLAY
We were informed that we could use the catwalk in any way we liked, unlike the models who had specific guidelines to follow. This distinction reminded us that as cosplayers, we had to handle everything ourselves—creating costumes, doing makeup, and even arranging our own photoshoots. It would have been wonderful to have some assistance with makeup, costume, and hair, so I could focus solely on perfecting my poses and performance.
Suddenly, while I was walking one of my stilletos spit. Thankfully, when Sir Donn and the other went back they bought with them glue and I stepped on it hard. I need more time for the glue to stick.... With Blessing
The schedule was adjusted, causing some changes, and our performance was slated for around 3 or 4 pm.
Once everything was sorted, the atmosphere changed completely. The tension and anxiety dissipated as each cosplayer took the stage, and vibrant energy enveloped the venue. It was a delightful transformation, and everyone wore smiles of joy. Backstage, I was feeling a bit weak due to my ongoing fasting, which made walking in heels a challenge—except for the time I had to strut in the middle. At one point, a mother asked if I could help make her child fall asleep. However, the child's bewildered expression upon seeing my cat ears made it clear that sleep would be elusive.
I struck up conversations with the cosplayers beside me backstage, and it turned out to be a super fun experience. I was told that my eye makeup looked good and I told her thank God for LA Girl, but I realized she was referring to the diamonds that I placed, chuckles, Thank you for noticing!
One of the many makeup artists, and designers shook a Eureka with my style and eye makeup inspiration and before you know it, Helene Budol has the same eye style makeup like mine!
After the event where Makeup artists and Designers the eye makeup of Herlene Budol resembles that of my Ball Joint Doll Cosplay Fashion Ensemble
It seems like my eye makeup is not the only thing the designers were inspired with, see this post from another Netizen that was also the inspiration for her gown.
Since I wasn't fully prepared for the performance, I only posed briefly in front of the cameras.
We decided to head home early, around 4 pm, after taking a few photos with other attendees and models.
We were among the first to leave the venue, as we needed to return to reality swiftly. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but wish I could have stayed longer, basking in the dream-like atmosphere of the event.
I have a vlog about this, let me know if you'd like to see it and I'll attach the link

To SalientFeaturesph, and SpeedForcePh Thank You so much for the wonderful Photos and for organizing this event! Especially to Sir Donn, Sir Arman, and Sir Dennis.. We definitely had a blast and looking forward to the future event.
Wow, time surely flies by. Just then, we were celebrating the holidays and now it's the summer and easter has gone by.
The summers here in the Philippines are definitely scorching hot! Just the other day, provinces just reached the highest heat index of 48°c and it's predicted to go over that. It's a total hell of earth, and I just remembered temperatures in Japan reaching 30°c and there were already companies turning off power and deaths from the heat. Goodness... (update just as they announce that it will reach 50 degrees, gladly mother nature cools off by giving isolated rain showers and pausing from extreme heat. Thank you Mother Nature!)
But since everyone's sharing their summer escapades, I figured out I should share mine but well to be honest it's not really taken during the summer but we went to the province last January when it was so cold from the holidays season.
The province we went to is one of those that reach 30°c to 40°c on a daily basis but during the December or January, the place is icy cold!! Quite the contrary, yes.
So without further ado, here are our Vacation in the province.
And to top it off, I challenge my daily gas mask for a gruelling more than 8 hour period no taking off, no eating travel (times 2 since its trip to and from, also wore it there during day trip) and see what happens.
Keep in mind, I don't have vaccine yet on this time and was careful since new evolution of the covid virus is still rampant.
We were really anxious in this trip at first but proceeded since we know that somewhat the progression of the virus is better than before.
BOOKING A BEACH FRONT INN
It's the family's first trip outside and we think that getting to a familiar place is better. The countryside is bf's province and he knows the place well. He contacted his mother earlier and booked a room in an inn that they know the staff so we're all safe and sound.
I checked the inn at their facebook page and gladly they have good reviews, a place to barbeque and a fantastic beach view.
So with all that, it leaves only the tickets booking.
RIDING A VICTORY LINER'S PET-FRIENDLY RIDE
Gladly, Victory liner posts updates on their schedules on their facebook page, so I looked closely, inquired, waited and confirmed for the pet friendly ride that comes the first and last trip.
We decided to get the last trip for going to the province. The ticket range around P500 including the dog.
PREPARING DOG'S ESSENTIALS DURING RIDE
I prepared all of the dog paraphernalia in advance. As per memorandum, dog must be on a crate, with leash and diaper. But being a furmom, there are still many things the dog will need, they don't put this on the manual so here are the real essentials to bring for travelling with your fur baby.
Wet wipes (important)
Poop bag (definitely important because those diapers don't contain the poop inside, only the pee)
a retractable leash with trash bag holder and led light (suitable for small dogs so they have the freedom to go farther)
water container (the ones that has the button flow so if the dog doesn't finish it you can just push it back to the container)
Extra clothes for swimming and occasion
small pillow in the caddy
I realized there's a lot to go being a furmom, but I'm really happy that I get to have these things for Tweety.
RIDE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE
Anyway, we took a grab car to the bus station and they are fine with Tweety as long as it's on a caddy. BTW, the caddy we have for her is sooo cute! I'm happy with my purchase!
The tickets were taken care of by bf and we just waited for 30 minutes in the terminal and eventually hoped on the bus.
GAS MASK EXPERIENCE:
First hour of being in a gas mask from the house to grab car and bus terminal is comfortable.
However, since I decided to wear my coat and a bit warm clothes preparing for the aircon in the bus (which they say were cold) I felt uncomfortable at the terminal as its hot to wear it there!
6 HOURS BUS RIDE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE
The subtitle is actually very lucky as its usually 8+ hours just to get in Lingayen, Pangasinan. We took the last trip pet-friendly bus around 9pm and this amount of time we had was actually faster than expected and the ride is comfortable since its night time, its cool to move around even if you wear a coat.
GAS MASK EXPERIENCE FOR 6 HOUR BUS RIDE
3 hours after when we got into a bus stop, I really want to take it off. Pressure from the sides are making my headache but I never took it off nor wipe anything at inside as we have coughing passengers left and right. My bf never took it off too even with my mom telling him to eat.
On the few hours before departed, my headache were there and I'm hecka impatient to take it off. I miscalculated the aircon from Victory Liner I thought it was going to be icy cold but since the trip is packed with people it wasn't cold anymore and I experienced heat cramps.
ARRIVING AT LINGAYEN 3:00 AM
When we arrived, bf's mom was surprised since we arrived earlier. She met mom for the first time and as usual mom and I were nervous but was happy to see her well.
She picked up 2 Tricycles for us, if you ever get there at this time, there are tricycles at the terminal waiting and they can take you to your destination. Tricyles are the main transportation of Lingayen as the roads are so small.
Surprisingly, it was so cold and comfortable. Seriously, not what I was expecting. But they told me that during December and January it's really cold there like Baguio, making it the best favorable time to visit Lingayen!
Anne's Beach Inn and Lodge
Anyway, we took the tricycle ride to the beach inn and surprising the whole place still had christmas lights turned on but there are no more people walking, most have gone home and are sleeping.
We were immediately scorted to our rooms, they oriented us of the schedules in the morning. And my mom, still could not believe that the room is just for the three of us, me, mom and tweety.
The bed is huge! It could fit three persons on the main one and one more on the pull up bed. The place is neat and clean love the minimal design of the cr but I noticed the lack of heater which is fine for the summers but not during december and January.
We were supposed to sleep but I could not. Tweety was also anxious of the unfamiliar place, and would not eat nor drink.
She was sleeping with my mom (mom was crying for some reason that I do not know but shes not talking about it)
Anyway, just when I was about to get a sleep we need to go. The sun was beautiful and the sight of the sea from the window was just tropical dreams but outside its actually icy cold!
GAS MASK EXPERIENCE
Finally, I was able to take it off after 8 hours! I got red marks on my face and the pressure hurts a lot. What a relief to be able to take it off at that moment, I didn't know I was able to pull it off but its not done.
BREAKFAST AT DOK'S GOTO AVENUE
Early in the morning, bf and his mom came picked us up to grab breakfast and they decided to have us eat at DOK's Goto avenue taking a tricycle cab there. Everything looks different in the morning the colors are so blue! The sky is so blue much like the sea and fresh air is far different unlike the one in the manila capital.
Anyway, back to the Goto place. This is famous place to get porridge but they do serve rice meals which I ordered.
Gladly a dried seafood vendor stopped by and offered us these, so we bought dried eel, dried squid etc.
GAS MASK EXPERIENCE
For the first time, we took off our gas masks. We are anxious AF. Bf decided to sit in a outdoor area where there are lots of ventilation.
Bf ordered the biggest Lugaw and mom had too. Meanwhile, after breakfast it was just the perfect time that a dried seafood vendor visited, mom was able to buy Espada ( Eel) and other dried fishes.
Next, we went to the destination which mom loves. We took her to the sunday's plants fair, its where they sell really affordable plants and rare ones too!
PLANTS FAIR
It's located at Lingayen city Fish port, stalls line up and plants ranges 100 pesos up and we definitely got a good lot of bargain.
After this, we planned to go to the wet market however, since we bought a lot plants we decided to head back to the hotel inside and they decided that I catch a snooze till 4 pm. Well, I am thankful for this since I could not get any sleep last night at all.
LINGAYEN AT NIGHT TIME
In the afternoon, we headed to Epiphany of the Lord Parish and took a moment to say prayers. The church is so cute, with its prominent structure near markets and lively establishments. They still had the Christmas tree up since it was just January 6 when we got here, Philippines still celebrate Christmas until the Three Kings so you'll normally see it.
LUNCH AT LAZARO'S GRILL
My second time eating here and we're back, this time they had extended their second floor and we were the only one that got to dined there, the air breeze is so nice even though the sun is high enough every is so refreshing.
Lazaro's Grill is being renovated to extend its seating area, and it's so much better. I love the all-wood theme of the restaurant, believe me or not but the second floor is super cool especially when winds pass by even on the hottest temperatures.
We ordered their Specialty Pigar-Pigar and Kaleskes, the Pangasinan's favorite dishes. Pigar Pigar is made out of stir-fried carabeef, liver and onion in thin slices.
Kaleskes has carabao or cow's intestine, tripe, pancreas etc with soup seasoning of vinegar and spices.
Grilled Squid, tilapia, Igado(pork liver dish), caldereta, barbeque, ginisang labong ( bamboo shoots), chopsuey are among the dishes that we ordered as well.
The delicious dishes we got are
Pigar-pigar and Kaleskes, lots of rice and carbonated drinks.
I think I may not be adjusting to the room yet as I did not get a snooze the whole freakin night. Tweety was sweet with mom and slept with her.
LIMAHONG CHANNEL TOURISM CENTER
Bf and his mom took us here in the afternoon and I loved the beautiful plants and the scenery of the Limahong Channel, you can see people parked fishing and enjoying the scenery. Meaw has told me of the urban story that "if you made it to the end of the beach you'll go insane in a specific time and place, when then sun, wind and the sea talks with each other". That's how the locals tell the same story and it's fascinating. I may be curious but I don't want to check it out and go insane, haha.
FULFILLING MY PROMISE TO BRINGING TWEETY ON THE BEACH
When we got back to the hotel, we took a walk by the beach, I was finally able to fulfill my long-term promise that I would bring her to one but the waves and sky looks scary and intimidatingly high for her so she did not want to dip at all, she also hates the sand on her feet and made me carry her. Well, I did try once at least.
LINGAYEN NIGHT BAZAAR
When we returned to the hotel, we just walked a few steps to the Bazaar and there are booths and beverages offered with energetic music on the beach side.
Further away we walked to the restaurant, supposedly we wanted to eat at Consuelo Hotel and restaurant but we were surprised that its closed at 7 pm already!
Yeah, restaurants close reaally early here.
So we just went back to Lazaro's grill since it's still open at that time.
PACKING UP
The next Pet-friendly bus is at 3:30:00 am and we're planning to catch it early so we packed up and said our goodbyes and thank you to meaw's mom for taking time giving us the tour and welcoming us in their hometown.
BUS TO METRO
This part was the most painful one since I didn't sleep for 2 days already, I was so tired at the bus and fell asleep hard. I now experienced the heaviest feeling carrying the mask while sleeping, gravity pulling my head in front and my sleep gets interrupted all the time. How I wish I can strap my head on the bus seat so it wouldn't fall and this time we rode for 10+ hours, traffic plus loading of passengers and finally when we got home, I breathe and took it off with the ultimate relief and satisfaction and set it aside for the next journey.
MESSAGE TO YOU:
Thanks for reading my blog. I hope you enjoyed and please do let me know in the comments if you like more of these. The video is on my youtube channel @trixiasalonga, I'll see you next!
At that time, it feels not only the air around you can seem dangerous but everything is suffocating as policies around me became too strict and you can't see the enemy you're facing.
Everybody was so anxious that all we're hoarded. But whats worse is that the masks ran out earlier due to the Volcanic eruption and you can't breathe without inhaling ashes.
Yeah, pre-pandemic taal became erratic and some died due to the worse ashfall. Masks has already became in demand and short supply already.
At that time, we helped inform everyone at my pages and blog that if you really cant find a mask, a bra would suffice at the moment.
Everyone laughed and even reported us thinking it was some kind of Joke. But later on, they realized were actually telling the truth but they still won't like the fact that you're wearing underwear in your face so they didn't do it.
Gladly, it was thanks to my preliminary gas mask that we survived that. We are already in the metro but we are still inhaling ashes, it is really hard to breath and it hurts to do so.
For someone like me with asthma, it was life-threatening. But because of the gas mask, we survived.
After a few months, we went on lock down. And my first gas mask played important part once more.
However, as the virus evolves my partner gets worried and he tried his best to get us Gas Masks that would best serve protection and do purpose of the face shield + mask requirement.
That's how we acquired the usual Gas Mask I use. Mine was even harder to find because my face was small and at first there was gap in my face.
Thank God when I got chubbier, it fit my face now.
●This gas mask was so comfortable and the rubber doesn't get sticky. Its definitely high quality despite the fact that this was the only gas mask available at that time since everything was hoarded.
●The vision area is wide and that's a plus especially when you're walking. It's definitely snug tight since the first gas mask is more lose and can fall.
●Also, you're definitely protected not only from COVID but also from smogs.
I noticed that my asthma improved because I don't inhale jeepney or truck smoke prevalent in the area.
Best thing is that I don't smell any weird gas. Of course, some downsides include weird gazes and you can get discriminated, my hair gets tangled and it can be hot, you also wont bother with makeup as they wont see it or will melt or smudge anyway, sleeping on it while seating down for more than eight hours is heavy!
Other than that, I love these gas masks. They help me breathe better, improve my asthmas and definitely saved me more times than I can imagine.
A question on your mind would be, well you wouldn't know if its effective against covid anyway.
Well, unfortunately I did have this tried and tested. If you watch my youtube I have been in and out hospitals and even sat with covid patients where everyone around me get infected except us.
You don't believe? That's okay. As long as we survive then that's all that matters anyway. I don't force anyone to wear it and I would never do.
I'm just really blessed that I get to wear a cool life-saving gear and of course how I wish that people wont discriminate others wearing them.
I'm on the look out for investing on a really good eyeshadow and lipstick palette that will be a good companion for my cosplays and everyday use.
I would be needing something that have variety of colors and pigmented ones, some with glitters but fine if none.
A good eyeshadow palette is something I basically invest during my cosplays as I love the variety of options on colors for a look that I want to achieve.
I'd love to have a Japanese brand but I'm not really good where to find one. Nonetheless, I'm not picky as long as it fits the description and really good to use is fine.
Yup, I'm replenishing and updating on my cosplay supplies and I'm interested to see what's new on the market. Well, it doesn't have to be new just maybe try other brands and see if It'd be great.
If you know any, please comment out any suggestions I'd be really helpful.
Thanks

Princesscore is a relatively new aesthetic trend that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a subgenre of cottagecore that centers on the idea of living like a princess in a fantasy world. Princesscore is all about creating a whimsical, fairytale-inspired atmosphere that feels luxurious, magical, and otherworldly. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at what princesscore is, where it comes from, and how you can incorporate it into your life.
What is Princesscore?
Princesscore is an aesthetic trend that draws inspiration from fairy tales, medieval times, and royal fashion. It involves creating a romantic, dreamy, and regal atmosphere that is fit for a princess. Princesscore is all about indulging in luxury, wearing elaborate gowns, and adorning oneself with glittering jewels. It is a celebration of femininity, beauty, and grace.
The princesscore aesthetic is characterized by pastel colors, delicate fabrics, lace, and ruffles. It often includes floral patterns, vintage furniture, chandeliers, and crystal decorations. Princesscore also involves a fascination with castles, palaces, and grand estates, as well as the idea of royalty and nobility.
Where did Princesscore come from?
Princesscore is a relatively new aesthetic trend that emerged in the mid-2010s on social media platforms like Tumblr, Instagram, and Pinterest. It gained popularity among young women who were looking for a way to escape the stresses of modern life and indulge in a fantasy world.
The trend was initially part of the larger cottagecore movement, which celebrates the simple life of rural living. However, it quickly evolved into its own subgenre, with its own distinct style and aesthetic. Princesscore is also influenced by the resurgence of 18th-century fashion and the popularity of period dramas like Bridgerton and Marie Antoinette.
How to Incorporate Princesscore into Your Life
If you're interested in incorporating the princesscore aesthetic into your life, here are a few tips to get you started:
• Embrace pastel colors: Princesscore is all about soft, pastel colors like pink, lavender, and mint green. Choose clothes, accessories, and home decor items in these shades to create a dreamy and feminine atmosphere.
• Wear romantic, flowing dresses: Look for dresses with ruffles, lace, and flowing skirts. Choose fabrics like silk, chiffon, and tulle to add a touch of luxury to your wardrobe.
• Add vintage and antique elements: Incorporate vintage furniture, mirrors, and chandeliers into your home decor. Look for antique jewelry, brooches, and hair accessories to add a touch of history to your outfits.
• Create a royal-inspired atmosphere: Hang up tapestries, light candles, and use crystal glasses to create a regal atmosphere in your home. Choose bedding and curtains with floral patterns to add a romantic touch.
• Experiment with makeup: Use soft, natural makeup colors like pink, peach, and gold to create a feminine and ethereal look. Experiment with glitter and shimmery eyeshadow to add a touch of glamour.
In conclusion, Princesscore is a fun and whimsical aesthetic trend that allows you to indulge in your love of fantasy and romance. Whether you incorporate it into your wardrobe, home decor, or makeup, it's a great way to add a touch of magic to your everyday life. So why not embrace your inner princess and start living like royalty today?
But I invite anyone who would like to compete in cosplay in this event on March 26. It's an official event of SalientfeaturesPh and SpeedforcePh and the one who will win will compete for Ani- Mania ph on December 2023.
The event will have models to walk in the fashion show as we run for the Guinness World of Records largest indoor photoshoot in CITI arena Manila.
I'm crying and overjoyed. I have finally got my .com domain back! It took so long actually I was supposed to have it back a year ago but I found out that someone had bought it already and what's more they used it to redirect to their website, I was heartbroken and felt hopeless. All the pain and effort into building up a blog full of memories to share are now lost in space and could not have it back even if I want to.
I really never imagined the time would come that I'll have it again. A sudden the opportunity came and I vow to never let it pass.
You see, when I started my blog in ReshaDollyPrincess all I wanted was to preserve my memories, I also enjoyed sharing them with friends and family.
It didn't take long when one day I decided to buy a .com domain. At that time, I really did not know what buying a domain meant or the opportunities it has. I only know that if I have the.com on, it's a way to tell everyone that this is a legitimate site owned by me.
However, what happened next were things that I did not expect. There were so many opportunities and met mentors that helped me along the way.
The journey was so fun as I shared the creative stuff like my cosplays and travels with you. When I reflected back, I am hands down super proud that I did it as I can look back and reminisce about those days.
There were memories that I already forgot and remembered because of those, boy having them documented here was all worth it.
However, it's not all rainbows and butterflies. Most of the time, I struggled to keep everything documented and organized, in the end it affected my health and eventually burned me out. I could not blog the way I used to and I decided to take a break. The break took sometime but I was still adamant to go back I just did not expect that someone would buy it and use my domain.
When I saw that site they did, I feel hate that it was only used as a redirect site. Definitely not what I wanted for my reshadollyprincess.
Back then, I was suprised when I saw that my site costed 100K pesos to purchase back, I was still saving up for it. Then one day, suddenly surprised to see someone took it and it was it Chinese site.
What I felt and realized when I missed out to buy my domain back:
1. Loss, guilt and Resentment - I felt like I lost a part of myself, like losing a child, a lover, a business. Everytime it would make me wonder of what ifs, what if I could have done this, what if I did that.
2. Missed out on opportunities - most of my opportunities are directed on my .com site, I did lose a lot of them. It was painful that I was not able to participate anymore but also gave me the chance to focus on important projects that were waiting on the shelf.
3. The thirst to write again
I feel like a vampire that hasn't had blood for millenias and I'm about to turn into dust. I do still write but not being able to publish them on the designated site. I feel that there was no need to write anymore so I got writing dehydration.
4. Acceptance and moving on - As I am about to move on, I accepted the fact that my domain is lost. Its gone. At that time, my partner told me not to blog in reshadollyprincess anymore as that would promote only the one who bought my domain. I felt hurt but as time passes on, I begin to accept and was making plans for the next steps.
5. The Phoenix effect
I felt down most of the time thinking I lost my domain but I also have the excitement to try new things. So I did that and definitely were able to discover new interests along the way.
Every time it would haunt me that I was not able to buy it back earlier. Then as I already gave up and was to move on and just yesterday I was looking at my blog to reference some photos, and I saw that the domain is available again.
I immediately took that opportunity and bought it back in a flash!
The time during the pandemic gave me the time off I need so bad. I was able to reflect and realized the things that I did before, the writing, the photography, the travels, I really love doing them! and that I didn't care what might come as long as I keep doing what I love.
To be blunt, I feel like a new pope in position. I wanna cry so bad in happiness that I was given the opportunity of a lifetime, but I also want to cry with anxiety for the future and hope that I can do better.
So now I'm here and I'm in tears so glad to be back!
What do you think I could have done better to have my domain back? Let me know in the comments!
Hello everyone, hope you're all lively and well. So here I am just updated my channel a new video about a simple errand I made. I went to get a parcel but actually that is not mine. Its a parcel from the province and its filled with all the delicacies of that region.
Its filled mostly with sweet fruits and viands but I am unable to share it in the video or get the picture.
Unfortunately, since the fruits are very fresh, we failed to consume all of them before they decay/ So I hope I could be able to preserve them but were all scared to do this without proper equipment so its kinda doubtful we'll even initiate.
For the parcel delivery, we use the bus liner for the bulk shipping. Victory Liner Cubao is such a hack especially if you want to deliver in bulk. All you need to do is to put the details of you (sender) and the one who will be receiving them. They will require the Ids of both parties, addresses, and cellphones.
Remember to properly pack your belongings with the information of the receiver on the box
oh, the cargo shipping costs around P125.00 for 1-5 kgs coming from Lingayen to Cubao. But of course, you'll need to pick it up later at the docking station.
People use this method to send to their loved ones especially rice grains when rice is so affordable in the province!
Anyway, I've also tried out the most delicious chicken broth and I was blown up with the aroma and the taste!!! I will do this to my chicken all the time if I have to. Before heading on to my destinations.
For my Chicken Broth, I used everything I have in the pantry. Onion root, whole peppercorns, dried thyme, 2-3 bay leaves, onions boil them with the chicken, and my God the aroma! I'm telling you is truly heaven scent!
Also,
I am finally able to put on my favorite sunscreens and go out. I use the spf 130 on my face and neck and the spray is for my body.
Besides, our parcel errand we also went to the condo for the first check before the tenant arrives.
So, if you're interested to see what happened, feel free to head over my youtube channel, Trixia Salonga.
I have a vlog about this, let me know if you'd like to see it and I'll attach the link%20with%20signature.jpg "GuaPhotog")
