POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s finally here. 😭🤍 Our wedding film.

Almost three months later, we get to relive one of the most beautiful days of our lives — and somehow, it feels even more special watching it back.

To our family, friends, wedding party, and everyone who helped make July 20th what it was: thank you. For showing up, for celebrating us, for loving us, and for filling that day with people and moments we never want to forget.

There’s something so emotional about watching this now and realizing that we’ll have these moments forever — the hugs, the laughter, the tears, the people we love all together in one place. One day we’ll look back at this version of all of us and wish we could step into that room just one more time. 🥹

And maybe that’s what makes this film so special.

It gave us a little piece of that day to keep forever.

Ro, I’d still choose you. In this lifetime and every one after it. 🤍

Mr. & Mr. Peneyra-Rodriguez 💍🌈

Some people see a burger and think “meal.” Growing up in my Filipino family, I saw a burger and thought “this should hold me over until we eat.” LMAO 😭😂🇵🇭

Picked up In-N-Out for Ro and me and started thinking about how, growing up Filipino, a burger was never really a meal. It was “something to eat before we eat.” 😭😂 There was still rice waiting at home.

Anybody else’s family like this?! A little Filipino American memory for Filipino American History Month. 🇵🇭🍔 #FAHM taken in Sacramento, California by @_gothcroissant_

Found a pair of corn molds at the thrift store and immediately had plans. 😂🌽

Salted egg, white cheddar & scallion cornbread sticks—wrapped in banana leaves because these little babies deserved an outfit. Buttery, sweet-salty, and cute as hell. 💚

We love R&D days to play in the kitchen (: taken in Downtown Sacramento by @_gothcroissant_

Maybe a wedding is just proof of how many people showed up to love you 💜

My husband and I finally made it to @4estea in Rancho Cordova—and it was worth the wait! 🇵🇭🤎

We finally met Kate & Freddie, the owners and chefs, and Kate even treated us to something sweet to celebrate our wedding. Such a thoughtful welcome. 🥹

We came for their creative take on Filipino flavors and drinks, but had to try the food too. Lumpia, kwek kwek, chicken barbecue & sisig silog… holy shit. Happy dancing in my seat from start to finish. 😂

Good food, warm hospitality, and fellow kababayans doing their thing. So happy we finally got to meet the people behind it all.

Do yourself a favor and check out @4estea . Come hungry. 🤎 taken in 4estea by @_gothcroissant_

Some cookies don’t need all the extras. Just a little almond, a beautiful bake, and another one for the road.

These take me right back to those almond cookies in the pink box at the Asian store. 😂🤎 Loved them growing up, but they were always a little too crunchy for me. So here’s my version: crispy edges, a soft, chewy center, and all that nostalgia. 🍪 taken in Chu Mai by @_gothcroissant_

HOT OUT THE OVEN 🥐🔥

Everybody knows a Tita Baby—the one who feeds you, looks after you, and makes sure you leave full. To celebrate FAHM (Filipino American History Month), we’re showing love to our version: KUYA BABY. 🇵🇭🖤
Our first tees feature my personal kewpie by local artist Dixie @deets.on.eats

Preorders will be ready and fulfilled by December—just in time for a special surprise about where you can wear yours. 🤭 Keep your eyes on Kuya. 👀

Salamat for supporting this baby of mine. 🫶🏽 taken in Sacramento, California by @_gothcroissant_

THE KUYA BABY KEWPIE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT! 🥹💖🥐

Y’all, I’ve been DYING to share this little guy with you!!

Huge, HUGE love to local graphic designer, illustrator, and fellow foodie Dixie ( @deets.on.eats )for bringing my very own Kewpie to life! 🥹

Dixie saw that I needed a little help ( A LOT) creating something original and truly my own, and she absolutely BLESSED me. She took the time to ask about my personality, the things I love, and even what kind of tattoos I wanted on my Kewpie to really represent who I am. 🥹 It’s those little details and thoughtfulness that make this so special.

From the barong to the croissant, the tattoos, and all the little touches in between, she somehow managed to capture so much of me in one adorable little character. I seriously couldn’t be happier with how he turned out! 😭💕

Now, about that MERCH! 👀

For everyone who’s already placed an order, THANK YOU for your patience and support! We’re working with Garage Champs to bring this little guy to life on our merch, and we’re taking a little extra time to make sure every detail is just right.

I promise it’ll be worth the wait! 💕

Here’s to creating something that’s unapologetically me, celebrating local creatives, and bringing a little more Kuya Baby into the world.

Stay cute. Stay rooted. Stay hungry. 💖🥐

Some flavors don’t just taste like childhood — they take you right back. 🐇🤍

White Rabbit candy was one of those little treats I grew up knowing and loving. Sweet, milky, wrapped in that edible rice paper we all definitely questioned the first time 😂

So I wanted to take that nostalgia and give it a new memory.
