Love, Mella xo

Here's what went down in July and how August slipped away.

Senti hours open! MJ and I drill down the 8 Cs of love, Carson and Dio's story, pursuing someone you like, seasonal and adult friendships, marriage, and more.

Bakit pa kailangan ng rosas kung marami namang mag-aalay sa'yo?

1. You can only meet someone as deeply as they've met themselves. 2. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just asking for love from the wrong people and looking for love in the wrong places.

There's no shame in admitting you miss falling in love and the pain that comes with it. Recorded last April 7, 2022.

Sometimes it doesn't take that much time to know you've found your people. Recorded last July 9, 2022.

Next chapter ♡

This life is crazy but it led me to TXT's love.

How does one get over a trip? Help me.

We almost knew what love was.

How do you define a toxic person, relationship, and environment? 

Here's to authenticity and the bare minimum. Hahaha. Let's see if I find time to set up my mic and record a proper cover. So in love with this song, I can't even.

Here's what went down in Cebu from the 22nd to 24th of July 2022 for us. Got some political and life talk for you guys so please drink with us. Hahaha.

AHHHHHHH we're now on year 2!!!! Thanks to those who have been with me since day 1. ILY ALL huhu.  For the first episode of Love, Mella xo Year 2, I reminisced my struggles last year as a first time podcaster and the steps I took to overcome them. As you know, I can't focus on one topic (as always) and so this episode is a blended discourse again -- stemming from the concept of SHOWcial media to my honest thoughts on the country's current state -- since we're still in a pandemic but we've somehow learned to live with it.
