And so, Sally can wait She knows it’s too late as we’re walkin’ on by Her soul slides away But “Don’t look back in anger,” I heard you say ❤️ In one of my favourite spots in Bohol: the man made forest! Candid photo by @afilmbylemon 🍋
A few seconds of my life in London since 2021. I am temporarily closing this chapter as I prepare to work full time again. ❤️ and yes, I should have taken more pictures. I should have kissed and hugged my loved ones as much as I needed. 🥹 Even if London will forever be the city that made me question everything I know in life, and forced me to square my shoulders, walk faster and be more vigilant…it will also always be the city that allowed me to smell flowers in spring and summer. And boy did I stop and smell the flowers constantly. They were the highlights of my day. On days when I forgot what I sounded like because I wasn’t talking to anybody, I had the flowers to remind me that God wanted me happy by giving me the most beautiful flowers just around my neighbourhood. London made me embrace the sad colours of autumn so hard that it would crush my soul every time I swept my garden before winter. Always weeping for the big tree I have, dying temporarily… as did I, with every sad day, quiet room entered and moment of complete confusion. Because of London, my instincts are now sharper. I stayed as healthy as I could while navigating my auto immune disorder. I very quickly learned to walk, ride my bike and eventually drive cars on the left side. The education I got from in and out of the classrooms, imbedded in me now. London also gave me the best friends that one could develop in adulthood, abroad. Our shared love for food, pints of Guinness or ciders, homesickness, overpriced takeaway and complains about the bitter cold of winter glued me to them in ways that sometimes saved my sanity. I had to figure out grief alone in my high ceiling bedroom when I got the call that my dad had passed away…so my first house in London will always be the one I hold dearest to me. The sadness ate me whole so I took a train to Scotland where, shockingly, the sun made me feel like I was in the Philippines for a few days. I will still have my house in London and maybe one day, I will call it home again. London is polite but shouts when you’re wrong. Beautiful but rough around the edges. Kind but has a darkness that could scare the tough…my friend, London. ❤️
feeling good as hell 💃🏻
born free ❤️ We will never be without shackles in this life…whether it’s responsibilities, thoughts, feelings, payments, contracts, friendships, partners or even the shackles you choose to put on yourself with the weight you decide to carry on your shoulders. But at least choose the right reasons for wearing them. After all, we’re all born free. ❤️

no tears now, just a lot of pushing back resting my body and soul today, celebrating the years of hard work…the happiest and saddest of days. ive now officially been working half of my life and there’s nothing that can convince me that i should be doing anything else. the set is my playground, the lines are my thoughts and the camera, always will be the one i’m married to. in london, i spent the last three years learning, living, breathing, absorbing, observing, healing, still working but more importantly…preparing for the next half. ❤️

Not me still looking for Jennifer Coolidge hoping she’d make it to season 3 of White Lotus ® 🪷 good thing though is you don’t have to look too far for the @hm and @thewhitelotus collab because it’s coming to the Philippines this February 20! One of my favorite pieces from the collection is this bikini that’s so beautiful underwater 🥰
I’ve always had a playlist for every scene, project and moment in my life. And since it’s Valentines Day, and I’m feeling the love…I’m gonna stop gatekeeping my favourite love songs and heartbreak songs 😂 So here’s a taste of my Valentines playlist…the full playlist’s link is in my bio or you can just look for my profile on @spotify it’s belapadilla ❤️🔊 To me, this playlist is perfect for setting the mood for your date night later, or if you’re stuck in traffic hoping to catch your reservation (it’s fridaaay!), or if you’re just at home, eating alone like me 🥰 Love, your favorite heartbreaker 💋
