First of all Happy Chinese New Year !! 🧧❤️🔥
Last year on my birthday, I got a charm from a shop in Binondo, the heart of Manila’s Chinatown. Achi the shopkeeper told me that after getting the charm, I should pray at the Cross of Lognos altar and light three incense sticks to have my wishes answered and not gonna lie, that charm became my little anchor through ups and down. It’s actually the only superstition i believe cos it’s been with me through ups and down
Shoutout to the chinito guy from my hometown ~~ we were born to be lovers but destined to stay strangers. 🤣 We never crossed paths again, but thanks to him, I discovered this tradition.
Now, I’m planning to get a new one. I’m not sure if this is a tradition to other local chinatowns but if ever find yourself in Binondo, Manila or maybe in your local chinatown, grab those charms too!!

My partner gave me these small charms for Christmas last year. I had been dreaming of getting them for forever but for some reason I could never find any posted online! I love wearing them on necklaces or my bags. They’re so small and cute! I am so thankful that my partner found them <3

🎂It’s my birthday! 🥳 And there’s no better place to announce it than here—PI.FYI just feels like a big group hug, and somehow, announcing my birthday here feels safe and kinda lovely. 🫶
Another year of getting influenced by all of you (from the simple stuff to the cool stuff), and honestly, life just feels richer because of this place. 💙 Big love to @TYLER for creating the best corner of the internet!! I LOVE U AND PI.FYI 🤟✨
