Day 147.

I took it easy today. I used my resistance bands yesterday and I’m pretty sore. That means it’s working! I’m back to exercising daily which is great. Randomly woke up before 9am because I thought I heard the doorbell. I guess I was dreaming because it didn’t happen. Startled my brother. Whoops. 😅

Animal Crossing update: I finally caught my first scorpion! I donated it to my museum. Blathers was scared, but grateful. I wanna catch more! My island is still at 4 stars. I’ve decided to build another bridge. I also need to clear up the clutter. Still loving the game more than ever!! ☺️

Watched Happy Old Year with the twin. Sunny! He’s one of my favorite Thai actors. I enjoyed the story.

I wanted to be productive today, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I’m hoping to do more tomorrow. The pandemic has been up and down for me. I miss my family and friends, but it’s best to follow the mandate and continue social distancing. 2020 has been something, but I’ll make the best of it. Posted a throwback photo on IG. I miss going on adventures, but I care about the greater good! Stay safe and healthy, everyone!!!

Chipotle for dinner. Nomzzz. Giants lose again in Colorado. Just watched the news. Back to LA. Go Giants!!! 🖤🧡

That was my Thursday. Hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 146.

Today was a blur, but that’s only because I’ve been pretty busy. I didn’t get to nap today, so I’m feeling more tired than usual. I’m resting for a bit and then I gotta get to work on brainstorming and studying for my TEFL course.

Animal Crossing update: I’m still trying to capture my first scorpion. It’s frustrating me. Lol. I’ve been bitten so many times. I can feel it. My first capture is soon! One disappeared on me tonight. That’s never happened before. UGH.

There was no baking today, but I did help with cooking dinner. We made spam again. We do our best to have it sparingly. We also made spam musubi. So quick and easy! Never paying for it again.

I opened the rest of my happy mail. Everything is so cute! I’m trying to organize everything since next week will be a week of rearranging and building. I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for it.

Giants win! I hope we can tie the series tomorrow before heading back to LA. Colorado is good this season. I’m impressed.

That was my Wednesday. I think it’s time to play one more round of AC and then get to work. Seriously! Haha. Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 145.

Today was an adventure. I won’t elaborate much, but there was a lot of mental gymnastics involved.

I had to calm my brain down so I decided to bake banana bread. My younger sister came through with the assist! We made one with chocolate and the other had walnuts. I love banana bread! It’s up there with pumpkin bread. 😋

After baking I started to feel tired. I did watch some Moesha on Netflix. I napped afterwards. I got 3 hours in! I’m pretty motivated right now to study up on my TEFL course. I’m still brainstorming for work too. Might as well be productive until I get tired.

Lots of happy mail these last few days. Maybe I’ll post a pic of the stuff that’s come in.

Animal Crossing update: I missed the scorpion yesterday and I missed the scorpion tonight. I just want to capture one to donate to my museum. It’s so frustrating! It bit me twice yesterday. I have until October to capture one. I can do this!

The Giants took the L again in Colorado. We’re 5-7. Yeesh. Go Giants forever! Whether they’re good or bad, I’ll always cheer for them. 🖤🧡 #loyalty

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care! 😷

Good night.

Day 144.

Happy Monday! 💟

It was a productive day. My highlight was visiting our Lola (grandma). We’ve been talking to her on the phone these last few months, but she loves it when we stop by so that’s what we did in the afternoon. We baked brownies last night and placed them in an airtight container. It’s her favorite dessert. It’s been tough not being able to hug her. 😭 But we love seeing her happy.

Before we went home we stopped by Burger King to grab lunch. I really wanted a Whopper. The commercial worked on me! Haha. It’s my favorite thing to order. The Hershey pie too. 😋

After lunch I washed dishes. It piled up these last few days. I always listen to music to get it done faster.

I took a nap since I woke up early. I needed the two hours of sleep. My pin, scrunchies, mask, and Switch Lite case arrived today. I love receiving happy mail! It’s the best. 🥰

Giants didn’t win in Colorado. Hoping they take a game before heading to LA again later this week. Ah!

I’ll be tackling my to do list all week. I’ll get it all done. Anyway, we’re currently watching Forrest Gump. One of my faves!!

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 143.

Happy Sunday! Here’s to a great week. 🙂

It was a lazy Sunday for me. I had a decent night’s sleep, but I still felt tired. It’s my norm. I did get up to eat lunch and dinner. I napped twice. I did catch the Giants game on the radio before my nap. We were going for the sweep, but I’ll take the series win! Gigantes 🖤🧡

We just made brownies for our Lola. We’ll drop in for a quick visit tomorrow. We miss her! ❤️

I exercised for a bit. It burns, but it’s good. I must build my endurance and stamina again. 💪🏽

Animal Crossing update: I got my turnips in the morning and watched the fireworks before 9pm tonight. It’s so much fun to watch! The villagers love it. You can win bubbles, sparklers, and balloons from Redd’s Raffle. I’m gonna catch it again before midnight.

I’m hoping for a super productive week! There’s so much I need to do, but it’ll all get done.

Take care, everyone!

Good night.

Day 142.

Dating apps haven’t been treating me well. I really don’t like it when people are rude! Pet peeve. Moving on.

Anyway, it was a pretty chill day for me. I slept in for a bit and decided to get started on lunch: oven baked bacon mac & cheese. This was a different recipe. The bacon was also frozen and I was too impatient to fry it on the stovetop. I shoulda just fried it instead of opting for the oven. Lesson learned. It turned out okay. Pretty delicious, but was definitely missing the crisp factor.

I watched some NBA games on tv and listened to the Giants game on the radio for a few innings. I was feeling a little under the weather. It might’ve been the bacon. So I took a nap. It helped! Giants with the W!!! Solano is rolling.

Now I’m a bit more awake. Just snacked on some chips and chocolate. Made another plate of garlic mashed potatoes and mac & cheese.

Animal Crossing update: It was a typical day on my island. The villagers are super excited about the fireworks tomorrow. I am too! Should be a lot of fun.

I’m hoping to be more productive tomorrow. I’d like to start my class soon. I’m also brainstorming for my potential courses. Would also like to visit our grandma and say hello from afar. We miss her! ❤️

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

Good night.

Day 141.

TGIF! 😎

  • I slept okay.
  • I finished Kiki’s Delivery Service. I loved it! I want a red bow now.
  • I helped out with lunch this afternoon. We made spam, garlic rice, and fried eggs. We also had tomatoes. We also made spam musubi for the first time. Turned out well!
  • Boba and ice cream for dessert. Boba was delicious! We ordered from honey creme. I’ll try the ice cream in a bit.
  • Washed the dishes.
  • I’m finally registered for my TEFL course! Let’s do this!!! I’m excited to learn again.
  • Catching up with friends via text. Yay!
  • I realized even more today that self-care is so important. I played my usual round of Animal Crossing and listened to the Giants game on the radio. I’m also listening to music right now. The little things energize me.
  • Now I’m trying to figure out if I should buy this cool Simpsons print. Decisions.

That was my Friday! Time to recharge this weekend. Happy weekend to all. Take care!

Good night.

Day 140.

Happy Thursday! It’s almost the weekend. 😎

I was able to buy the Colourpop Sailor Moon eyeshadow palette. The blushes were in my cart, but I didn’t check out fast enough and they sold out. I hope there’s another restock. I was a bit frustrated with the process tbqh. I wasn’t alone in feeling that. The collection was released at 10am PDT. I entered the contest on IG, Twitter, and FB for a chance to win the entire collection. So maybe there’s luck on my side. 🙂

I stayed up watching the first season of Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love. It’s such a cute show and the cast is really good. I might start Part 2 tonight.

It’s been a busy, but productive week! I’ve got some things to prep for the potential after school enrichment courses I might be teaching in the Fall. Must brainstorm! It’s different from what I typically take care of at work, but it’s a nice way to share my passions with the community. 🙂 It was nice catching up with the boss.

I also caught up with my therapist on the phone after three weeks. It’s great to just talk and get her perspective.

Listened to some of the Giants game on the radio. Watched a bit of the Clippers/Lakers game too. Basketball is back!

There’s a lot to do these next upcoming weeks, but I’m looking forward to the change. Yay!

Animal Crossing update: Bought another painting from Redd. I check online to make sure it’s authentic. It was! Finally caught the gigas giant clam. It was challenging to get. It took me a few tries. I donated it to my island’s museum!

Uke update: I’m playing Somewhere Over The Rainbow with less errors. This is huge! I even recorded audio of me playing this afternoon. I sound good. When I’m really comfortable I’ll shoot a video to share with friends and family.

A&W rules btw! I love their Coney Cheese dog and curds.

Well, that was my day. Hope yours went well! Take care always.

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 138.

Happy Tuesday!

I was able to secure the things I needed at IKEA. A lot of low stock due to the pandemic so I was unable to proceed with the original items I wanted. Delivery is set for August. Yay!

Animal Crossing update: 7/30 is the day! We get fireworks every Sunday in August. So exciting!! 😊 It’s something to look forward to before the week ends. Pascal dropped some more knowledge. He’s so funny. Love him!

I didn’t get to nap today so I’m pretty tired. I stayed awake so I could eat my In-N-Out burger in time. After dinner we tuned in for the Giants home opener. We lost. Final score 5 SD, 3 SF. New day, new game tomorrow.

We also watched a Jeopardy episode on Netflix. One of our fave shows at home.

I received some good news today. I must brainstorm on an online course to offer in the Fall if work doesn’t open in time. It might take me a while, but I think I’ll figure it out.

I took it easy today. I’m planning to be more productive tomorrow.

That was my Tuesday. Hope everyone had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.
