Jamon

first time in bali and… I get it now. the calm, the chaos, the charm — all in one breath. day 1 felt like the island saying “welcome, relax, and glow” if glow meant being sunburnt lol ✨

- brunch at .bali
- first market stop at
- strawberry cheesecake ice cream break at .icecream (SO good)
- caffeine pause at
- fragrance masterclass + my first custom ‘Scorpio Sambac’ scent at (with some splurging lol)
- happy hour at .bali
- sunset watch at Batu Bolong Beach
- dinner at (bali comfort food unlocked)

soft openings & sweet beginnings — here’s to living slow, feeling alive, and letting bali re-teach me how to breathe 🌴💨

first day in bali, and i already bottled a memory 🍃 an olfactory experience at where i created my own scent, Scorpio Sambac, inspired by my love (and addiction) to perfumes lol

notes: orange blossom, rose, jasmine sambac, blackberry, exaltolide, honey, woody 01

definitely a ritual stop every time i return to bali 🩶

immensely happy today.

i felt loved and special — and for someone who’s used to giving more than receiving, that means everything. 🥹

53 jamonsters showed up and danced with me today for my birthday class at GDC QC — the energy, the laughter, the chaos, the love… i’ll never forget it. 👾 ended the day with a good steak dinner date and an even better reminder that peace feels a lot like gratitude. inbox is full with greetings and thoughts.

this year, my wish is simple — to stop chasing love and attention. i’m done trying to prove i’m worth being seen.
i’m tired of feeling like the option, the filler, the one people remember only when it’s convenient. from now on, i just want peace — the kind that comes from choosing myself.

i’ve spent so many years pouring into others, but this time, i’m pouring back into me — slowly, intentionally, and with gratitude.
because even in the chaos, i’ve learned that peace isn’t something you find. it’s something you build, one boundary, one brave decision, one soft day at a time.

special shoutout too to everyone who made me feel celebrated — Spark It family, G-Force fam, Mygo, Elexa & Tita Jocelyn, Fiona, Bree, Ezra & Tita Dette, Marga, Jilliane, Chloe, Migs, Ella & Tita Peng, Kirsten, Nami, and Tiara — thank you for the gifts, the love, and the warmth. 🫶🏼

again, happy birthday, jamon. you’ve come a long way.
keep working hard, keep being kind, and keep showing up even when it’s hard. you don’t need to shine louder, you just need to shine honest. 🫂

first project as Director of Business Development at : our 10th anniversary party 🎉✅

almost 2 months in the company and I got thrown straight into the deep end — but I’ve been met with nothing but warmth, trust, and empowerment from this fam ✨ grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

this is definitely proof that when we spark good ideas and share good energy, we make things happen while looking this good 😉

super hyped for what’s next (hint: global brands inbound 👀), and I’m proud to share that i’ll be driving that forward.

cheers to — and to sparking even bigger things ahead ✨

09.05.2025 // today’s log is such an emotional rollercoaster 🎢

[DAY]
i aired out my work-related concerns to my boss and was blessed with the gift of being heard 🙏🏻. finally pushed through my overdue company ID and email signature photoshoot before lunch 📸. got formally introduced to the whole workforce and announced as part of the mancomm team 🫡. to top these off, my first PR innovation project proposal got approved, which will also be announced during our 10th anniv party 🚀

[IN BETWEEN]
tried ’s clawkies for the first time (not a clawkies virgin anymore lol) and honestly they’re so good i have no words 🤯. i also limited myself to just one ML ranked game today before i headed out to dinner, ended up winning a match as the MVP lol gamer era?!

[NIGHT]
🤫 managed to successfully control myself from impulsive designer shopping and only walked away with a pair of un**es for a good sexytime lol. 🍲 wrapped the night with a good dinner date at manam. 🛴 hopped on moovr for the first time and scooted our way from uptown mall to burgos circle to forbes town to bgc high street (sooo fun and kudos to all the friendly traffic enforcers we encountered). 🍦capped it all off with a yummy llaollao regular sanum

big emotions, little joys, and everything in between 🩶
