Day 175.

Happy Thursday! Happy Friday Eve. 🙂

I really love lox and cream cheese bagels. The only fish I’m allowed to have because of my food allergies. Salmon’s the best! If I could have another bagel, I would. Lol.

Just woke up from my nap. I’m going to work on some stuff before bed tonight. Glad I finished my workout earlier today. And I’m thinking of splitting my 100 squats into 4. Instead of doing it all at once. It’s more manageable that way. 💪🏼 I’m staying consistent. I’m inspired since I can fit into a pair of jeans I bought last year. Makes me happy!

Animal Crossing update: I did the usual tasks on my island. Leif is visiting today. I got some new recipes too!

I just miss traveling. That hit me today since I saw my suitcase. Some clothes from my London tour were still in there. Sigh. Whenever it’s safe again, I’ll explore. Until then, I’ll just look back on the memories.

Giants were off today. They open a 4 game series with Arizona at home tomorrow. Go Giants! 🖤🧡

It’s time to get to work. Take care!

Good night.

Day 133.

Happy Thursday!

  • Opening Day! It’s different, but I’ll take it. The Giants didn’t do very well. 8-1 down in LA. We’re still rebuilding. Patience. 🖤🧡 I miss Boch!
  • Grocery run. I helped unload and put things away. Yay for essentials!
  • 10 years of 1D! The first concert we (sisters and I) attended was in 2012 at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. Great memories! I miss live music.
  • It’s almost the weekend. I’m so happy.
  • Animal Crossing update: must sell more items and figure out what to do with my flowers. It’s still on my to do list. 😂
  • Lastly, I exercised today! I rode the stationary bike twice. It was a challenge, but I did it! Must build my endurance. I’m feeling pretty good.
  • That was my day! I hope yours went well. 🙂

Take care and good night. BEAT LA!!!!!

Day 14.

It’s been two weeks. I’m doing okay. Everything is repetitive, but I can’t complain. I’m at home where we have access to water, electricity, food, and facilities. All of that is a blessing. ❤️

I’ve been thinking a lot about enamel pins. I’m hoping to design one for a good cause. I haven’t figured out what it’ll look like. Things are brewing and it’s a process. I’ll continue to be patient with myself.

I slept a lot today. I woke up at a decent time, but decided to nap twice. Lol. I’m okay with that. I also watched another episode of Broad City. Abbi and Ilana are BFF goals. Haha.

Traveling dreams are real. I went through my camera roll looking at pictures from our family visit to Canada in 2018. Good times. I miss flying. I miss discovering new places. This too shall pass, but until then I’ll continue looking at pictures to remind me of better days ahead.

And I want to learn the uke! I’m looking for a nice beginner one to purchase. I played the piano for two years when I was a teen and I was in choir in high school. Other than that, I don’t have a lot of background in music. There’s always time to learn something new. I’m looking forward to it! 🙂

And Happy Air Max Day! I love Nike. ☺️

That was my Thursday. Thanks for reading!

#TBT: Pals forever.

From the archive.

So many dog photos, but I love it! This was after work one day. I was super tired and cold. The living room is always eventful and this photo is an example of it. Laki loved being everywhere, especially the futon with endless blankets. What a dog! His personality doesn’t compare. So silly.

I miss him all the time. It’s approaching 9 months. So many happy memories. I will always cherish those.

I hope you all had a great Thursday! Where did the week go?

Sleep well.

#TBT: My heart.

Reminiscing yet again. I think it’s always the toughest during the holiday season. As we prepare for Christmas, we really wish our maternal grandparents were still around. Even for one day.

I can’t remember how old I am here. I think we’re 4 or 5. You can’t quite tell because it’s a bit blurry, but I think I just finished drinking soda or fruit juice. Bianca and I had super red lips. LOL. Maybe it was Hi-C? I really liked our matching haircuts. #twinning

I love my grandparents. They all raised me with so many values and important lessons. It sticks with me to this day. I hope I’ve made you proud.

Sweet dreams to all.

#TBT: June 24, 2009.

Here I am at Dolores Park. I was 22. I had to help my cousin out with a photo project for his class. It was pretty fun. I remember doing a bunch of silly poses & jumping! My fave. 🙂

I still have that All-Star Game jersey in my closet. Oh baseball, how I miss thee. Just waiting for spring. Come back soon!!!

I have so much to be thankful for this year, including the hardships. There’s a silver lining for everything, right? Hoping for the best. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

I stand in solidarity with the indigenous peoples of America. 

Good night.

#TBT: Laki, 2014.

❤

Today marks eight months since you went away. There isn’t a day when we don’t think of you! Laki (luh-key) was a very special dog. I loved to call him little brother, little man, and my shadow. He followed everyone, but he and I had a special connection. I was very overprotective of him, partly because he was quite small in stature. He was our first male dog. He loved taking naps and sitting on everyone’s laps while we did our homework.

His name came from the Tagalog word malaki which means big. But since he was small, the name fit perfectly. Our dad came up with his name. We had some trouble deciding, but what do you expect from teenagers. Indecisive! Lol.

I miss you every day, Laki. I hope you’re enjoying the great big sky. May there always be treats, lots of food, and comfy blankets around you.

I love you always.
