Day 129.

Lazy Sunday. Like super. Lol. I slept in. Enjoy this lovely pic of Henry Golding and Chris Pang. 😍 #CRA

Animal Crossing update: I woke up too late to buy turnips. This is the first time I’ve missed Daisy Mae. I don’t want to time travel. I play in real time so I’ll just wait until next week. I did get the recipe for the mermaid chair from Pascal!

Lunch was good. I had a bacon cheeseburger from A&W and a root beer. So good! I must lay off the fast food. I’m back to eating terribly. Planning to turn that around this week. The pandemic has changed a good chunk of my routine. Gotta fight sliding back into bad habits. I know I can do better!

Took a nice long nap in the afternoon. Played some AC once I woke up.

I’ve been playing a lot of Scrabble. It’s a lot of fun! My opponents are really good, but I’m keeping up.

That was my Sunday. Hope y’all had a nice one and enjoyed ice cream on National Ice Cream Day! I had a Snickers ice cream bar. Nomzzz.

Good night.

Day 124.

Hello! 😄

I had a pretty decent day. I had about nine hours of sleep. It was much needed. I haven’t done that since a regular work day. I miss it! I played Animal Crossing right away. It’s my morning routine as of late. To be honest – it’s been this way since I started playing in April. I love the game! 🥰 Put my playground together too.

I used our exercise bike today. I’m pretty beat. My legs felt like jello after about 12 minutes. I give myself breaks in between, but it’s hard. I applaud myself for completing the task today. 💜

Helped the sister with dinner. Glad I was able to assist! We made spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. 😋

We finished Last Christmas in the afternoon and I was on the verge of tears. The story caught me by surprise. I’ll have to rewatch it again. Love the cast!!! We’re also rewatching Glee together. Season 1 takes me back! I was still in community college when I first started watching. Time really flies. I miss the 2010s. And we watched an episode from the new Unsolved Mysteries. It was sad. Justice for Alonzo Brooks!

The current state of the world makes me anxious, angry, and sad. Life is short. Live your best life! I bought an ita bag just for the heck of it. Can’t wait to display my fave pins from my fandoms.

I’m going to make myself a cuppa tea. Decaf English breakfast. Yes! 💖 Take care, everyone.

Good night.

Day 122.

Happy Sunday! 🙂

I spent the day watching Supermarket Sweep, playing Animal Crossing, and had a jam session with my uke. I’m getting more comfortable with switching chords. Yay!

We were invited to a small gathering, but had to politely decline due to the pandemic. I hope everyone had a great time. We miss our friends! ❤️

I bought an AC cap of Celeste. She’s one of my favorite characters. There’s a crew neck I’m looking at on Etsy too. It’s nice that they’re located in California so if I move forward with the purchase I won’t have to wait too long.

I went on the exercise bike for 10 minutes. I call it a victory! I’ve gotta monitor my heart rate. If it’s too high, I slow down or I take a quick break. Having chronic conditions have been tough, but I’m tougher. I’ll always be resilient!

The treat of the day for the fam was ordering matcha drinks and soft serve. I missed it so much! 😋🍦🍵

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

Good night.

Day 111.

I finally took a walk outside and ran errands. We were mindful of our time in one place. It’s best to keep moving. It felt great to be outside again and enjoy the sunshine. We had our masks on and kept our distance. 😷🌤

We supported our local Mexican restaurant for lunch. I had a carne asada burrito. Always so delicious! We missed it. We also bumped into our relatives as we were leaving with our orders.

I had a decent night’s sleep too. That’s always nice. It’s a new month and we’ve got a bunch of goals and tasks to complete. I’ve got two more months to clean my room, buy a dresser, and get a new desk. It’ll all get done. Just gotta stay positive! ❤️ 2020 has been tough, but we can do this.

I took a nap after we watched Robocop. A childhood fave of ours. It’s been a while.

Animal Crossing update: I planted more money trees. Yes! I also paid off part of my loan. And I bought another painting. More art to donate to my museum.

We’re watching Cash Cab now. Such a good show. I gotta practice my uke and take my nighttime meds. Today wiped me out, but it’s a good kind of tired. Hope y’all had a nice Wednesday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 101.

Happy Father’s Day! Love you, Dad. ❤️

My sleep was terrible last night. My anxiety kept me up again. That’s okay though. I watched Dear White People until I fell asleep. Netflix FTW!

I ordered an Animal Crossing pin from a college friend. She’s so talented! I bought the Celeste pin. An ode to Sailor Moon. 🌙

I’m still all up in my feelings. I finally did a round a yoga after a week off. It was tough, but I survived. The stretches and other exercises I usually do afterwards I decided to do in the beginning. I had to change it up. It’ll be a mellow day for me tomorrow.

Animal Crossing update: I almost caught a scorpion today. No luck. I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve got Christmas decor now thanks to the BFF. Too funny. She time traveled. 😜 Still paying off that loan.

Just practiced my uke. I needed a refresher for Stand By Me. I remember it again.

That was my Sunday. I hope you all had a great day. Here’s to a new week! Take care. 💕

Good night.

Day 98.

I’ve been feeling quite tired today. I didn’t accomplish much other than paying for a bill. I decided to sleep after I did that. I slept for a few hours. I just don’t have much energy compared to yesterday. Each day is different.

Animal Crossing update: the store has been moved and I just redid the entrance for it. It’s simple, but now I have some use for a lot of the items I’ve left lying around on the island. Yay! There’s progress. I’m new to the franchise, so I’m learning a lot. I enjoy the DIY recipes. 🙂 I’m still looking for the iron garden chair. I hope I find it soon or one of my villagers gives it to me.

I didn’t get a yoga session in. I just feel depleted. 😞 Hoping for a more productive day tomorrow. That all really depends on how I’m feeling. June is flying and I’m trying to do as much as I can on my list of things to accomplish.

Might watch a movie tonight. I’m in the middle of Kiki’s Delivery Service. I must practice my uke too.

I was updated with work stuff. That’s still on my mind a lot for the upcoming year. I’ll think about that another day. Hope you all had a nice Thursday! Take care.

Good night.

Day 92.

Happy Philippine Independence Day! There’s a lot to unpack with being a Filipina American. I am proud of my roots and heritage nonetheless. I thought of my grandparents today. Everything I do is not only for myself, but for them. 🇵🇭❤️

My sleep was okay. Today was something though. I survived my workout. It gets difficult sometimes when you’re dealing with chronic conditions, but I always push through. I get to take it easy this weekend. Yay! And I’m getting used to the beets in my post workout drink. 😬

I washed dishes. Hurrah! It allowed me to destress. I’ve been in my head a lot lately. My dreams are translating into something. Not sure what. My anxiety is all over the place and I’ve been sad a lot. I guess it’s a rough patch, but I hope all will be okay.

Animal Crossing and the uke are always part of my daily routine. I gotta keep myself happy. I wish I would’ve napped but that’s okay.

Highlight of the day was my protein style burger from In N Out. I’m trying to be more disciplined. 😬🥴

I’m looking forward to the weekend. I need my rest, but I’m planning to clean as well. It’ll all get done.

Hope y’all had a nice Friday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 88.

Happy Birthday to our dear cousin, Maria! We miss you so much. Maybe that explains my dream yesterday. I was somewhere with family and I saw a picture of her. Until we meet again. ❤️

Mondays are hard. I stayed up to watch Muriel’s Wedding and I slept in. I loved the movie and the music. 😊 My usual routine. But it’s a wake up call this week since more businesses and buildings will be reopening. Part of me is worrying, but the other part is telling me that all will be okay. It’s been so long since I’ve been outside for long periods of time. I will still remain cautious. Social distancing is important! Wearing a mask is too. So please make good choices.

I practiced yoga much earlier than other days. I wanted to take advantage of the sunshine. My kencko order also came in. I drank two packets today. I really like the packet with strawberries. You can put water, milk, or a nondairy alternative. It’s a mix of fruit and veggies. Healthy smoothies! I’ll monitor my progress.

Watched Unsolved Mysteries. The stories were so sad. 😭💔 I enjoy the pleasant episodes.

Played Animal Crossing. I still haven’t cut the trees down on my island. I’ll get to it later this week. Just practiced my uke. It helps to keep my fingers loose and ready each time. Still enjoy playing it. It’s such a cool instrument!

Will be much more productive tomorrow. I hope. I ate fairly well today. I did have a little bit of gummy candy. 🙂

That was my Monday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 87.

I dealt with insomnia so I watched A Walk to Remember. One of my fave movies to watch with Mom and the sisters. I cried so much. 😞😭💔

Stayed up for a bit to play Animal Crossing. I eventually fell asleep. Isabelle says I need to cut some trees down. I’ll do that tomorrow when I have more energy. Speaking of energy, after my nap I decided to close my exercise ring. Got my 30 minutes in! Jammed to The Spice Girls, Jump5, Backstreet Boys, Little Mix, and The Bee Gees. Then I played my uke for my cool down.

Earlier today we watched Forensic Files and Unsolved Mysteries again. It was a good mix of stories.

Hoping to be super productive this week! I really need to tackle my room + keep exercising.

That was my Sunday. Hope y’all had a nice one.

Good night.

Day 85.

It was a busy but fun filled Animal Crossing day! I got to visit my friends islands. It’s all so cute. I need to revamp Mango. It’s tedious, but I’ll eventually get around to doing it. Little by little it’ll get done.

I made myself brunch today – a spinach and cheese omelette. It was really good. I’ll probably make another one on Sunday or something. I also made a cup of decaf English breakfast tea.

We watched a bit of Blast from the Past. Such a good movie! Love the cast.

Practiced my uke. It’s a daily thing now. I never forget. I want to learn new songs. I’m feeling more confident now.

I exercised today too. Yoga and the ab roller. It can be a challenge sometimes, but I keep going. I don’t want anything to stop me. Despite my chronic conditions, I believe I can do anything. It’s at my own pace. Exercising helps my mood.

TGIF! I’m looking forward to the weekend. ❤️

Lastly, Happy Birthday to Breonna Taylor! 👑 #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeforBre

Good night.
