Day 109.

Mentally I’m in a weird place. 😢 There’s so much pushing in my life at the moment. I’m still trying to enjoy my time off. I’m aware there’s much to do before the end of the summer, but I need to go at my own pace. It’s like do I need to ask for permission? I’m a grown woman. 😒 I’m dealing with a lot on a daily and weekly basis. I wish people would be more understanding.

I felt the sunshine on my skin today. I was able to bask in it for about 15-20 minutes in the backyard. It was wonderful! The dogs were with us too.

I’d like to go for a walk tomorrow, but I must be super careful. We’ll see how I’m feeling when I wake up.

Animal Crossing update: Paid off part of my loan. Still tidying everything up on my island. Work in progress.

I took a long nap this afternoon. I didn’t wake up until 3.5 hours later. Oh well! That’s how my body copes. I’ll retrain myself to get up at a reasonable time. Until then, it’s Summer and I’d like to milk every second of it.

Going to practice my uke and maybe watch a movie tonight. I’m thinking BlacKkKlansman. I’m currently listening to ABBA. So good.

I’m hoping the rest of the week gets better. I’m excited for the Animal Crossing update on 7/3. We can swim. 🙂

Take care and be safe!

Good night.

Day 108.

My headspace has been something these last few days. I’ve been dealing with anxiety, but I feel like it’s slowly turning into depression. It stems from just my own emotional health and the pandemic. Again cases are rising in California. It’s terrifying! I eventually want to start walking again, but I’ll be very cautious. Preparation is key! Phone, keys, wallet, mask, and hand sanitizer will be in tow.

I haven’t had the best day today. I guess my positive would be Animal Crossing. It allows me to take care of my island and socialize with my villagers. I’m admiring the marine life in my museum. Love the screen capture! I miss social gatherings, but it’s just impossible right now.

I got into a spat earlier. Family SMH 😒🤬 It can be so suffocating sometimes. Sigh.

I washed dishes earlier so that’s where all my productivity went. Afterwards I took a long nap.

Now I’m awake and will practice the uke and hopefully eat dinner. Maybe watch The Princess and the Frog. I just want this week to be better.

Hope y’all had a nice Sunday. Happy Pride! 🌈 Take care.

Good night.

Day 105.

RIP Michael Jackson. ❤️

I hope I’m not coming down with something. I’ve got a dry cough and my throat is scratchy. I’ll take my temp shortly. 😬 (No temp. Whew.)

I got up at a decent time, but I ended up falling asleep for 2.5 more hours. I didn’t feel too bad. I got around to doing my laundry too. Yay! I did two loads. My jackets are finally clean.

Super proud of myself. I didn’t nap today. Definitely feeling it. Ahh. I’m planning to sleep a little early tonight. Anyway, I cleaned a few areas in my room today. It’s so easy to make things messy, but harder to clean. Does that happen to anyone else?

Animal Crossing update: I finally grabbed a few money bags on my island. I’ve got some more so I’m doing okay with bells. I did a little shopping and sold a bunch of items. I also paid some of my loan off. Sold the last of my turnips. The price hasn’t been more than 200. Ugh!

I’m gonna finish exercising, practice a bit of my uke, and reward myself with a green tea face mask. I also updated my laptop. It took forever. Must sort through my archives. I have so many pictures. I want to organize it all.

That was my Thursday. June is almost done. Looking forward to July! Hope y’all had a good one. Posting a throwback photo btw. That’s Bianca and I in Vegas in 2010. Our first visit. I loved that black and blue dress. 🤓🥂 Take care!

Good night.

Day 104.

It was indeed a happy Wednesday for me! I was about to sleep, but the results for my echo were released at 5am. My heart looks good and there are no significant changes compared to the one that I had in 11/2019. Yay!!! So grateful. 💜

I randomly woke up at 10:30am. Our dog heard noises and it turns out it was just my sister. Lol. So since I was awake I decided to play some Animal Crossing. My island is still a hot mess. Oh well. I made all this fencing, but I don’t know what to do with it. My playground is still a work in progress too. Mehhh.

I made banana bread. I needed to destress. My sisters brought Sal to the groomers, so I decided to bake before they got back. It’s a simple and delicious recipe! Next on the to bake list is pound cake. 😋

We got to catch up with our friend via text. Lots of new things going on with her. I’m so proud! ❤️ I’m still figuring things out for myself. I’m at a crossroads. Sigh.

I fell asleep. My nap was supposed to be an hour. It became 1.5 hours. Whoops. I’m planning to be much more active tomorrow. Gotta tackle laundry.

Must practice my uke and take my evening meds. That was my Wednesday. Btw I ordered two new masks. One of them is floral and the other one is Sailor Moon! 🙂

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 103.

When you’re tired the next day. That’s me! 😬 I tried to fight off taking a nap, but I was unsuccessful. I fell asleep for a few hours. I don’t remember much from the day other than having lunch and I just had dinner.

Animal Crossing update: I’m planning to redo my island entrance. I’m thinking something with waterfalls. I’m getting overwhelmed with flowers. 🙃 I might start on that tonight. I also want to give my island some dimension. I really want to just pay off my loan. It’ll be another few weeks.

Life update: it’s been 2 years since Sal became a part of our family. She really is a delicate flower. She enjoys the quiet, treats, and naps on cozy blankets. I’ll always remember that day. We were minutes away from home and then we got into a car accident. Thankfully everyone was okay. But it’s still a bit traumatic to this day. I had some bruises on my body. I can remember the impact too. I’m healing. ❤️

I was supposed to do laundry, but I’ll get to that tomorrow.

MLB will have a season. I’ve got mixed emotions. 1. The season is short. Why have it at all? 2. I don’t think that social setting is safe yet. 3. The DH in the NL. 😒 I guess I’ll watch, but it’s not 162 games. Mehhh.

And please wear your masks! 😷 Folx are being combative about it. There’s a surge in cases in California. Please give the rest of us a fighting chance. I’m so passionate about this because I fall into the vulnerable population. I want “normalcy” too, but it’ll take much longer if you don’t comply. Do your part! End rant.

Well, that was my Tuesday. Random, but I really want to bake brownies again. The ones we made yesterday were a cake texture. The fudge ones are the best.

Hope y’all had a good one. 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 99.

Here’s to Juneteenth! I remain in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters. Black Lives Matter! 🖤

The weekend is here! I’m so excited. It allows me to reenergize and center myself for the new week. My mind has been heavy. I’m at a crossroads in my life and I’m not sure what to do. It makes me sad, tired, and a little angry. I need answers, but I think I must look within. Maybe in a dream?

This time last year I was in Paris. What a beautiful city. I would love to go back! I really don’t know when considering the pandemic. My travel dreams have been halted and I’m okay with it. I just want everyone happy, safe, and healthy.

I took it easy today. I watched TV with the sisters, had brunch, and then I took a nap. My energy has depleted as of late. I did drink 2 kencko smoothies. My next shipment will be shipped in a few days. I feel better about myself since I’m getting fruits and veggies a few times out of the week. I haven’t been exercising since my energy levels are low. 😕 Maybe I can do some yoga this weekend.

Animal Crossing update: I’m revamping everything and trying to sell everything. Must pay off my current loan though. I want my kitchen! 300+ more payments and then I’m free until the next loan. Haha. Oh man.

I’m gonna practice a bit of my uke. And then my usual nightcap is watching Dear White People. I’m on volume 2. Woo! I really like the show. The cast is great. 😊

Well, I hope you all had a nice Friday. Enjoy the weekend. Take care! ❤️

Good night.

Day 97.

I gotta get back to my exercise routine. I’ve been too busy with other things! Hopefully I can get a workout in tomorrow.

I had a tech appointment today. I went in for an echo, a sonogram of my heart. The mask I brought with me wasn’t allowed. I was able to wear it the last time. I found that a bit odd. They gave me a disposable one and was allowed to proceed to the elevator. The tech was really nice. We discussed everything. I was a bit anxious heading over. I hope everything looks good.🤞🏼 Thankful that our aunt was able to give us a ride.

We did some grocery shopping. I helped unload. I wasn’t allowed to leave the car. Too risky! Yay more food and necessities! 👍🏼 We brought back chicken bakes and hot dogs. The weather was really nice today too so I ordered boba milk tea for the fam.

Animal Crossing update: my island is full! I’m happy with my current villagers. I’m still paying off my current loan and figuring out where to move some buildings. If I only knew where to properly place everything in the beginning. Oh well. Lol. I need bells!

I’m about to practice my uke and heating up my leftover quesadilla. I’m pretty tired. There was a lot going on. I plan to take it easy tomorrow, but remain productive. The week is flying.

Hope your Wednesdays went well! Take care.

Good night.

Day 96.

I didn’t do much today. I’m still wiped out from yesterday’s activities. I took it easy.

Animal Crossing update: Keaton has moved out and Canberra is moving in. I’m excited to have a new villager! She’s a koala and she’s pretty cool. Still trying to tidy things up and sell items. I’m out of storage at my house so I’m trying to get rid of things I don’t need. It’s a trip. Check out the pic of me making a wish! 💫

I spoke to my therapist this evening. It’s great to talk it out. It’s healing for me! We’ll chat again in three weeks. It was a productive conversation.

I had to nap after my call. I felt sluggish a few hours before my appointment, but I didn’t want to oversleep. I napped for 1.5 hours. I feel a bit refreshed.

Had a quesadilla for dinner. Fruits for dessert. I just danced for 15 minutes to complete my exercise ring for the day. I hope I can practice my yoga tomorrow. I felt off yesterday.

I’m about to play a bit of my uke and then check on my island again. I need to collect my star fragments.

I hope to do more tomorrow. It’ll be a busy afternoon for me since I have an appointment. I must mask up and make sure I have my hand sanitizer. I’m a bit anxious, but I think I should be okay.

Btw I miss my grandma. Hoping to chat with her later. ❤️

Hope y’all had a nice Tuesday! 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.
