Day 276.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week and I’m so ready for holiday break. 😄 I can’t wait to just do my own thing. I’ve gotta study and focus on my class, but other than that I’ll be happy staying in.

Today is our Lola’s 91st Birthday as well as our cousin, Angelica’s 32nd! It’s so much fun celebrating them both. We were able to swing by our Tita’s house and drop off some drinks, flowers, and balloons. We didn’t stay for very long. We stayed outside too. Happy Birthday to them! We miss everyone. Thankfully we caught each other via FB chat. Great memories even if it was just for a little while to catch up.

We feasted when we got back. We ordered Jollibee and our Tita packed up some Filipino food to go. Everything was delicious! I love Filipino food. I still want to try making sapin sapin for either Christmas or NYE.

Niners lost. 😭💔 Just win the last three games. I’m asking for 2-1!!!

I got to do laundry, tidy up, and wrapped some Christmas gifts. I’m just bummed that one of my gifts won’t arrive in time. Hopefully it does! I really hope.

Lastly, I got to catch up with my BFFs! It’s so nice to hear each other out and laugh. So funny! Good times.

Well, have a great week! Take care.

Good night.

Day 275.

I love Saturdays!!! I got to sleep in and it was amazing. I woke up in time to greet the postman and retrieve our packages. Our Stoggles are finally here!!! I can’t wait to rock them on Monday. 😎🥽 Super cute and fashionable.

Rewatched Meet John Doe. Old movies are awesome! Before that I placed a delivery order for See’s. Christmas goodies for family, friends, and colleagues!! I love their chocolate. Their offerings are limited. I miss my faves – scotchmallow and scotch kisses. So good!

I took a nap afterwards. I needed to rest up before my community event at 5pm. It was a film screening of Hinga by Sammay and a community celebration followed after the Q&A from the cast. I’m so glad I made time to attend. I love supporting my FilAm community. ❤️

I spent about two hours editing pictures for my BFF. Her mom needs a 2×2 photo for work. It’s been a while since I edited. I kinda had to reteach myself. I’m currently using Affinity. I’ll get the hang of it again.

Just played some Animal Crossing and caught the last of Jeopardy. I gave away the last of my turnips to Penelope. My island is doing okay. I need to revamp some areas. Need to pay off my log staircase!!! I want it ready for Christmas.

Well, that was my day! Oh yeah, I drank some moscato and took half a shot for my Lola. It’s her birthday tomorrow as well as my cousin, Jekah. I miss our extended family! I can’t believe it’s been a year since we gathered for a huge celebration for Lola. Take me back to 2019!

Lastly, Happy Birthday to my friend, Romina!! I miss our college days. 💙💛

Take care and good night!

Day 274.

TGIF!!!!! I am screaming. We made it through such a trying week. I’m so proud of my community and my crew. We’ll get through this together. 💗

I had a decent night’s sleep. I did wake up before my alarm. I decided to just play Animal Crossing. It’s legit snowing now!!! I love it. So pretty. I haven’t made a snowman yet. I’m excited!! 😊

More Christmas presents have arrived for family, friends, and colleagues. I love gifting things!

We watched Dateline tonight. It was a good, but very sad report. Sigh. Tough to wrap my head around.

Anyway, it’s raining and it’s calming. I really need this weekend to decompress, reflect, and chill out. We are starting to heal. It’ll take time, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Cases are still surging in California. I’m waiting for my Stoggles. Here’s hoping it actually gets delivered tomorrow!! It was originally supposed to arrive today.

Alright, this is good night. Take care and have a great weekend!!

Day 273.

Happy Thursday! It’s been a heavy and trying week, but I’m getting by. I just need to continue processing. I’m slowly getting to the anger phase. I’m just disappointed, sad, and betrayed. How can you trust again after all of this? 😭💔

There were schedule changes at work. We were supposed to have an assigned classroom, but it turns out that that won’t happen until tomorrow. It was exhausting pushing a cart up San Francisco hills. Whew! I got through it. 😬🙃

We had In-N-Out for dinner! I had a hamburger with grilled onions and animal style fries. So good!!!

Some of my Christmas presents for family have arrived. Woo!!

Animal Crossing update: Speaking of Christmas – the first snow is here! Mango is looking great. I can’t wait until the entire island is covered in snow.

It’s almost the weekend. I’m ready!! Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 272.

I’m blasting Christmas music as I blog. I love it so much! I’m currently playing One I’ve Been Missing by Little Mix. 💗

Today was a pretty good one. My head and heart still hurt, but I’ll get through this rough patch. The series of events are just unfortunate. It makes me upset just thinking about it.

I’m finalizing Christmas presents for family, friends, and colleagues! I love gifting things. It’s been an up & down year, but we’re all making the best of it.

Highlights of my day: Seeing the Christmas lights in Nob Hill. So cool! I had a later break today so it was nice to see and walk around.🎄 And Mom made chicken adobo for dinner!! So good. 😋

Animal Crossing update: Flick is back on my island. I’ll sell him some bugs before bed. I sold some turnips and bought a beanie.

That was my day! I hope y’all had a good one. Take care!!

Good night.

Day 271.

It’s Tuesday!! It was a busy one for me, but all went well. I had my driving lesson before work and then I left early to pick up my new night guard. The fit was perfect! No need to adjust or shave down.

Back to my driving lesson – I still have some things to work on, but I’m making progress! I’m definitely regaining my confidence. I know I’m a safe driver. Hoping to schedule another lesson in January. And then maybe I’ll be good to go on my own in February!! 😁

I bought some greeting cards and snacks at Walgreens. I’m planning to mail out cards this weekend! I just need my holiday stamps. I bought some rubber stamps to add some pizzazz to my handwritten notes and cards.

Gotta take care of scheduling an appointment tomorrow. Thankfully I was able to order my meds first thing this morning. Should arrive on Friday.

Animal Crossing update: Celeste paid Mango a visit! Still no sign of snow. And I’m waiting for the holiday DIYs. Come on!!!

Well, this is good night. Take care!

Day 270.

Happy Monday! My day went well. Dinner was delicious! Korean food is some of the best. 💕

Watched the Niners on MNF. We didn’t win, but we still aren’t eliminated from playoff contention. We’ve got a chance!! Go Niners!!! ❤️💛

Animal Crossing update: Chill day on Mango Island. I’m still waiting for the snow. Where is it?! ❄️

I’m ready for my driving lesson tomorrow. As long as I improve, then I’m totally okay with it! Progress.

It’s been a pretty heavy day so I’ll keep this short.

Good night and take care!

Day 269.

Happy Sunday! It’s a new week and it’s already quite interesting. I’m anticipating news. As of now, I’m on standby.

I wasn’t able to fall asleep. Had terrible insomnia so I watched Emmymade’s videos. Super fun to watch! I slept in and didn’t get up until 1:30pm.

Animal Crossing update: I played early and bought my turnips! 🙂 I’m also buying toys for Christmas and crafted some things for a friend. I just realized I didn’t save a lot of mushrooms. I missed out. Oh well! I’m looking forward to the Christmas and winter DIYs.

I didn’t get to practice driving today. I didn’t get up in time and I was feeling tired. I also got my COVID results. It’s negative! I’m doing my part to keep myself safe as well as others around me. 😷 Shelter in place is now in effect until January 4th. We can do this!!! 🧡

I watched football all afternoon. Brunch was also tasty. We finally got to cook longanisa!!! So good. 😋

I had a pretty interesting dinner. I finally tried the kimchi we bought a few weeks ago. Super tasty! I’ll have to buy it again.

It was a mellow day for me. Glad I was able to take it easy. Hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 268.

Happy Saturday! Really thankful that I was able to sleep in today. I’m feeling a little under the weather. I hope it’s just seasonal. I’ve had tummy issues for most of the day. I made ramen with egg for dinner. I even took a nap.

I washed some dishes. Much needed! I listened to my music to make the time go faster. 🙂

I ordered some Christmas presents. Just some small things for family and friends. I won’t be going all out this year. I’ll be sending things instead. I talked about that yesterday.

Animal Crossing update: My island is doing alright. Nothing too eventful.

I’m just feeling paranoid is all. It’s still a very scary time. California is sheltering in place again. These next few weeks are super important!! Please stay home and don’t gather.

Be safe and take care!

Good night.

Day 267.

California has a stay at home order. I’m all for it! Cases are still surging. It’s terrifying. Stay safe, everyone!! And if you must leave your home, make sure you’re masked up, keeping your distance, and washing your hands.

So happy it’s Friday! I’m hoping to get as much as I can done on my to do list this weekend. The holiday season is different, but it’s here and I’m excited to write and send some small gifts to family & friends. 2020 has kept me on my toes, but I’m making the most of it.

Animal Crossing update: My island is the same. I did buy some new clothes. Hoping to play some more tomorrow.

Watched a wild 20/20 episode!! It was mind blowing, but I had a feeling.

I might buy a few more things online at Sanrio. And Lesportsac wasn’t able to locate my original order from the 2nd Hello Kitty collection. Thankfully, I ordered another item as a just in case.

Health news: I’m hopeful that things will be okay. I just need to follow up with my medical team. Fingers crossed.

I also had a really good session with my therapist. I love venting!

Well, enjoy the weekend! Take care.

Good night.
