Day 402.

[Sunday, April 18, 2021]

I’m late! My mind has been all over the place. I just realized I forgot to blog. I’m currently listening to Catholic songs and hymns. It’s helping, but I’m still anxious!! 😢

  • I studied my butt off. I got through two sections and I’ll be going over the final one for this module later. I plan to turn in my module assignment this week. I can do this!!!
  • My sleep hasn’t been great. That explains why I’m still awake right now.
  • Praying for Dad. I’m even sending him messages on FB. Get well soon! 💗
  • I played Animal Crossing to get my mind off of things, but it’s tough.
  • The weekend came and went! I don’t believe it. Ahh. It’s a new week, so I’m ready for whatever it may bring!
  • Hanging out with the dogs is helping.
  • I still get sad. Trying to breathe through it all.

I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night/morning.

Day 401.

Happy Saturday! My mind has been all over the place. I’ve tried to focus, but it’s hard. Sending my Dad lots of healing energy! Love you. 💗

  • I didn’t sleep very well again. It’s been tough to fall and stay asleep.
  • I eventually took a nap for a few hours and got ready for the day.
  • Ran some errands! Bought a cake and gelato for our Tita’s birthday. HBD! 🥳🎂❤️
  • We had BK for lunch. The cheese tots! 😋
  • After lunch, we dropped off our aunt’s cake and gelato. We all signed her card too. She read it in front of us and I wasn’t expecting her to do that. She was moved! 🥺
  • We got to hang out with Tink and catch up with our cousins.
  • Bro’s friends stopped by and dropped off cookies. We got to meet Cookie too. What a sweet dog! 🥰
  • Continuing to pray for Dad.
  • I spent two hours studying. I’ll continue studying tomorrow! I’m ready to get this module done. Proud of my efforts and progress.
  • Trying to stay calm, but I’m all over the place at the moment. I even got in touch with a friend to talk me through it.
  • Had Chinese food for dinner. Now I’m reheating popcorn chicken. 😋
  • Lastly, I played a lot of Animal Crossing! Finally got the diy for the crescent moon chair. Made me so happy! And I got Goldie’s photo. 🥲

Hope y’all had a nice one! Continue to mask up and distance yourselves. Take care. 😷

Good night. 💜

Day 387.

Happy Saturday!!! 💛 Happy Birthday to our dear Sal. She’s 8 today! We love you. 🐶

  • I stayed up trying to find cherry blossom DIYs. It’s driving me nuts because they’re pretty rare to come by when shooting the presents. AC can be so addicting!!!
  • I watched The Broken Hearts Gallery. It was pretty good!
  • I took a long nap since I was so groggy.
  • Missed out on the UCLA game. They didn’t win. 😭💙💛 Bruins forever!!!!!!
  • Washed the dishes. Going to shower shortly.
  • I’ve been looking at old pictures. Trying to find more from our Mom’s side. To be young again. ❤️
  • Can’t believe it’s Easter tomorrow! So much to do. It’ll all get done.

Hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 377.

My day went alright, but I’m dealing with a lot of feelings and emotions. The current events are taking a toll on me. I’m trying to breathe and take it a day at a time.

My question for myself right now is: What’s next? I’m approaching the next steps with my potential career. I’m a bit frustrated. 😣😫 Do I go back to school? What to do?!

  • Animal Crossing update: all is well on Mango. I’m hoping to revamp stuff this weekend. But I gotta earn my play time! Still hoping I can secure the Sanrio cards. PLSSS.
  • It’s our Tito’s 40 days since his passing. RIP Tito Timmy. 🤍 It was nice to see family and friends.
  • Thinking of securing another Telfar bag. But which color? I’ll figure that out next week.
  • I’m pretty tired tonight. Not sure if I have the energy to study. I might just do it tomorrow morning.
  • I just feel really crappy tonight. I need a shower and a good night’s sleep. I’m dealing with terrible anxiety. 😭
  • Lastly, it was nice to see our Lola’s rehab progress. I hope to visit her again this upcoming weekend. 💕

I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 372.

TGIF! It’s been a long week for me, but I made it. 🥲

  • It’s our little darling’s gotcha anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been four years. Love you, B!!! ❤️🐻❤️
  • It’s been a March Madness kind of day. I’ve watched a handful of games and it’s exciting. I made some last minute changes to my bracket. Some turned out well and others didn’t. Ahh! Still so fun to play.
  • Ordered lunch and I was disappointed that some food wasn’t even included in the delivery. Sigh. So I ordered from another place! Boba tea Friday. We went with Boba Guys.
  • I didn’t get to sleep in and that’s okay. I plan to do that tomorrow + be productive.
  • Animal Crossing update: haven’t sold much of my turnips. Meteor shower on Mango tonight. Yay!!! Learned some new DIYs.
  • Got to chat and catch up with family again. Lola is back home. ❤️ Would love to visit her this weekend.
  • Looking at some rare beauty goodies. I want the liquid eyeshadow!! 🥰
  • Planning to watch some movies this weekend and read!
  • Well, I hope y’all had a nice one. Take good care!

Enjoy the weekend!!

Good night.

Day 286.

Happy Wednesday! I didn’t do much today. I finished sending out the rest of my holiday cards. That was a relief. I still have a few more presents to wrap up. I’m planning to clean up a bit before Friday! I can’t believe that Christmas is almost here.

We were able to grocery shop today. Yay! I stay home for all of that, but I help by unloading and putting things away. I really miss pre-COVID times. I know the world won’t be the same after all of this. 😭 I’m just thankful for food. ❤️

Anyway, I got to practice playing Last Christmas on my uke. It’s a lot of fun! I love learning new songs. I’ll probably learn some other Christmas songs too.

Animal Crossing update: it’s been something trying to get these festive DIYs. I only have 4 in total! I’ve stayed up just trying to get all of them. Here’s hoping I find another one tonight. 🥴🙃

I really want to watch The Bee Gees documentary. Maybe tonight? Or another holiday movie? I don’t know.

Planning to catch up with friends in the next few days. Can’t wait! Oh yeah, my highlight of the day: getting my Pat McGrath lipstick in the mail. Woo! Love the color.

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care and be safe!

Good night.

Day 167.

It’s been a heavy day for me. I had to take a nap after hearing about the current events in sports, politics, and the murder of innocent people protesting for change! I’ve been very vocal about my political views. My blog is a place of love and safety. I will continue to support #BlackLivesMatter. 🖤

I’m also dealing with my own personal issues. I guess I’m trying to figure out what was said. Am I overthinking? Am I overreacting? I’m a strong Piscean womyn. I’ve always had good intuition. Of course people are owed the benefit of the doubt. So we shall see. I had to step away from my phone for the last few hours. I’ll respond when I’m not so emotionally charged and clear headed. This pandemic has become overwhelming. I miss social interaction especially in public settings, but I’m still doing my part and exercising caution no matter how much I want to meet somebody new.

I haven’t found the strength to study and take care of work stuff. Maybe I can work on something for an hour or two. I must play my uke too. I played some Animal Crossing too. I was quite distracted so I didn’t play for long. 🙃

I finished my 100 squats! I’m challenging myself to take care of my body and eat well. So far I’ve done 300. Another 300 more! I can!!! 💜💪🏼💜

Lastly, Happy National Dog Day! To the present and past puppers, thank you for your love and loyalty. We love you always! ❤️

Time to focus. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 139.

Happy Wednesday! It’s almost the weekend. Can’t wait. I’m sad to see July go, but I’m ready for August. Lots of revamping. Yay!!!

I was quite tired today. My sleep has been up and down. I’m trying to normalize it. SIP has been tough to navigate. I woke up from my nap about 45 minutes ago. Days are repetitive so I do my best to change it up. I really want to start doing yoga again. I was so consistent back in June. 😞 I’m being patient with myself.

The highlight of my day was cooking with my sisters. I contributed my peeling potatoes and cooking rice. We made adobo! So good. I love Filipino food. 😋

Animal Crossing update: Pascal gave me the DIY recipe for the mermaid dresser. I’m getting close to the entire collection. And the new update for fireworks, dream sequence, and so much more is being released tomorrow! Some folks have already had it for a few hours. I’ll just wait until midnight.

I’m dealing with some anxiety, but I know I’ll work through it. Discomfort is real, but it’s how we grow. Our comfort zones are cool, but it’s too safe. Although 2020 has been something, it’s good to challenge ourselves! I’m still brainstorming about what online class I want to offer in the Fall. I’ll get there.

I also renewed my Flickr account. It hasn’t been active since January? So confusing. Glad it’s reactivated. I back up my pictures on there.

Giants win! 🖤🧡 It was a walk off. Thanks Yaz!! Our offense is showing up. It’s nice to see. I watched for a few innings and then I took my nap. Lol.

That was my day. Hope yours went well. Take care!

Good night.

Day 82.

My yoga session yesterday took me out today. My upper body is very sore. I wanted to close my rings tonight on my watch, but we shall see. It hurts to move. I need 22 more minutes of exercise.

It was a warm day in SF. It hit 81 in the neighborhood. The cool down starts on Thursday.

I’m so sleepy right now. I would nap, but it’s so close to bedtime. It’s hard to keep my eyes open. Ahh!

Practiced my uke after a few episodes of Unsolved Mysteries. I cleaned a bit today too. Most of it was recycling and shredding old papers.

I played some Animal Crossing too. I’m hoping one of my villagers moves out. Might be a while. I haven’t caught a shark yet. Maybe tomorrow! All the new bugs on the island are really cool.

Well, that was my day. Hope your Tuesday was great.

Good night.

Day 55.

Happy 89th Birthday, Willie Mays! 🖤🧡 Birthday greetings to our Lola Onen too. We miss you. ❤️

I had a restful night’s sleep! It’s been so long since I could say that. I woke up at about 9am. And then I played Animal Crossing. 😊 Every morning is a little surprise when I start up the game. I love it!

I spent most of the day with the dogs and taking care of some errands at home. I measured a jacket that might be sold. Fingers crossed. I was also preparing myself for a study. I wanted to nap before it, but I did it afterwards instead. I think it went well.

I fell asleep for a few hours and I woke up at 9pm. Overall it was a good day. I had the rest of the taco meat from Taco Bell. Made two tacos, one soft and the other crunchy. I also had carrots, Devon custard, and strawberries. I think today was a fairly healthy day. I did have a handful of candy and that’s alright. 😎

Practiced my uke. Spent 20-30 minutes on it. I’ve learned a bit of I’m Yours. The uke challenge concludes this week, but I’ll continue to learn more chords and songs. I’ve learned so much since day 1! I’m really proud of myself. 💜

Now we’re going to watch some episodes of The Simpsons. But first, some more Animal Crossing. I’m bummed my museum is under renovation, but it’ll be back tomorrow. I wanted to donate some fossils but it’ll be done later.

Hope you all had a pleasant Wednesday. Take care!

Good night.
