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 100.

Happy Summer! ☀️

It’s been 100 days since work shut down and the shelter in place soon followed. Mind blown. 😱 I’m doing okay. I miss doing simple and mundane tasks outside. I wish I took advantage of it before the pandemic. Sigh.

Before I went to sleep I watched Knives Out with the fam. It was really good! It had me guessing the entire time. The cast was great. 🙂 Check it out if you’re into mystery.

It’s been a sad day. The news was heartbreaking. 😭 My friend’s dog, Louie, crossed over to the rainbow bridge today. I met him in January 2013. I think he barked at me. Haha. He eventually mellowed out as the evening went on. Louie was one of the sweetest dogs ever. I remember the random trip to Portland and he joined us for our adventure. I also visited LA in 2016 (that’s me with Louie!) and he followed us all over the house. Time flies. Pets teach us so much along the way. I cherish every family pet we have had. RIP dear Louie. ❤️🐶

My classmate from high school also shared her story of miscarriage. My heart breaks for her too. Thank you for sharing Layla’s story. 💕

I didn’t do much today. I slept in. We made mochi pancakes in the afternoon with bananas and strawberries on the side. Afterwards, I decided to lie down and play some Animal Crossing. My island is a mess and so is my house. Slowly getting my loan down. It’ll be another few weeks. I don’t time travel. Many of my friends do, but I’m content playing in real time.

I just bought Affinity Photo. I need a photo editor on my laptop. Adobe programs are out of my budget. Their sale ends tonight. If you need a photo editing program, check them out. It’s a decent alternative!

It’s Father’s Day tomorrow and I find myself being happy and sad. 😢 I feel so many emotions. It’s tough sometimes, but I always find a way to make it through the day. It’s been complicated. I love Dad very much. It’s a generational difference as well as a cultural. I won’t elaborate much more.

I’m hoping for a better week. I’m still feeling kind of down with my current situation. I won’t ever know if I don’t ask. So I’m going to type up an email and I’ll go from there. I do need advice from other patients. Sighhh. Just breathe.

Gotta practice my uke. 🙂

I hope you all had a nice Saturday. 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 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 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 95.

Today is the anniversary of my college graduation. Time flies! I’m still so proud of my accomplishments. I may get another degree, but we’ll see. 💙💛

A very Happy Birthday to Dusty Baker and Tim Lincecum! I graduated on a good day. 🙂🖤🧡

It was a busy day for me. I wish I could’ve napped but it wasn’t possible. I hope I get a good night’s sleep.

Animal Crossing update: my home is in a new spot! I’m trying to figure out how to decorate my lawn. I also need to relocate one of the stores on my island. Everything is a work in progress. And one of my villagers is moving out tomorrow. I wonder who will move in next. I hope it’s someone cool!

It’ll be busy for me the next few days. California is reopening, but as I said previously I’m still uneasy about it. I’ve been home since March 13. I’ve only left the house twice. I don’t want to be afraid, but it’s okay to feel like this. I’m still giving myself time to adjust. It’s absolutely necessary.

I’ve gotta practice my uke. I didn’t get to practice yoga today. I’m planning to do that tomorrow.

That’s all from me. I hope you all had a nice Monday. Take care!

Good night.

Day 94.

Now playing: 2 Become 1 – Spice Girls

I miss London so much! 🇬🇧 This time last year I was at Wembley with Mom and the sisters. Looking back, I’m very grateful we were able to make the trip to see The Spice Girls. It was a childhood dream come true. I almost didn’t go due to my portable oxygen concentrator fiasco, but I made it! 🙂 The night was nostalgic and it was perfect. I only wish Victoria/Posh Spice was there to complete the group. Maybe in the future? We’ll see. There are whispers that they’d like to tour again. If so, I’ll be there! ❤

Travel dreams are currently on hold due to the pandemic. Please be safe out there! This virus isn’t a hoax.

Anyway I have so many pictures from that trip that I still need to print out and archive. When my phone updated a few days ago, I freaked out a bit. I thought I lost it all. So many memories. Thankfully, my phone was just updating and it all turned up again.

I’ll be back for you, London! Still so many things to cross off the bucket list there. I need another week or two.

Day 93.

Cleaning and organizing is a trip! Out with the old and in with the new. It doesn’t get done in a day. Planning to tackle more in the coming days.

I’m pretty tired. My phone updated and a lot of my pictures were “missing”, but it turns out the iCloud was updating as well. I left my phone plugged in overnight and it was done 12 hours later. Thank goodness everything is back.

Played my uke for a bit. And then I got to play some Animal Crossing with Jamie. That’s always fun! But the internet connection went out since her niece messed with the Switch. I bought a cute botanical tee on her island too. Oh well. Maybe my store will carry it soon. Fingers crossed.

We watched some Unsolved Mysteries too. The paranormal ones scare me. It’s a re-enactment, but it’s eerie.

I hope tomorrow is a better day and I’m not as tired. Hope you all had a nice Saturday. 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.
