Day 441.

Happy Thursday! It’s officially my long weekend. I can’t wait to unwind, study, and just take it easy.

It was a good day. It came and went! Time is flying and it’s kinda making me sad. 😭💔 It’s all bittersweet as the school year wraps up.

Traffic was terrible after work. Ugh! It’s normalizing over here. Trying to catch a ballgame before it returns to full capacity. Ahh! Speaking of baseball, we lost in LA. UGHHH!!!! I hope we play better. Beat LA!!!! 🖤🧡🖤🧡

ACNH update: All is well on Mango. Did the usual tasks. Maybe Celeste is visiting tonight?! I’ll have to check.

Highlight of the day: our Sanrio books were delivered! Can’t wait to read and look through the pics. Small gift, big smile. 😁

I gotta study tonight and hopefully finish my assignment. We’ll see how much I get done. I want to finish and continue the next module!!!

Hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 374.

My bracket is pretty much done. It’ll take a miracle to even get 1st or 2nd. 🙃 That’s why it’s not a very happy Sunday for me.

  • Highlight of the day: Visiting our Lola! I’m really glad we got to see her. She’s the best!!! We kept our distance, but we were able to chat via video. 💗
  • I was pretty productive today: more laundry, shower, and studying! Yay for progress!!! I have an early morning, but I’ll try to study a bit more.
  • I practiced my uke! It’s been a long time. I was strumming to Have You Ever Seen The Rain. 😄
  • Animal Crossing update: I really want the Sanrio x ACNH amiibo card pack, but not sure if I can even get it this Friday. I’d have to get up early to just make the purchase and then pick up in person. I can already feel the mayhem!!! Bought my turnips and did maintenance.
  • Sanrio is the best! I still collect to this day. 🥰
  • I decided to order one last boba drink before I stay away for a while. I gotta keep myself in check!!
  • I’m now watching Sex and the City with the fam. So good! S4E1 🙂
  • I’ve been able to catch up with family and friends!! It’s the best.
  • One week from now, I’ll have my second dose of the Covid vaccine! 🥲
  • I’m hoping for a great week! I wish y’all the same. Take care!!

Good night.

Day 327.

Happy Tuesday! It was a short and pretty productive day for myself.

  • I stayed up watching Cobra Kai! I’m digging it. Ralph Macchio was one of my childhood crushes. 🥰
  • I overslept a bit, but I got ready in time.
  • Slim roster so today went smoothly! Tomorrow is my busy day. I got this!!
  • February is flying. I’m trying to savor every moment. 💗 I want to write Valentine’s Day cards to family and friends.
  • I took a really long nap. I just had a late dinner – potatoes, fries, tater tots, and mac and cheese. I balanced that out with water and 2 clementines. I haven’t exercised this week. Planning to hold myself accountable this weekend!
  • Covid numbers in CA are improving, but it’s still important to continue social distancing, wear a mask, and wash your hands.
  • Today is World Ukulele Day! I played a bit of I’m Yours and Let It Be.
  • I’m hoping to sleep earlier tonight.
  • Animal Crossing update: created a blank square to help with flower spreading. It’s a little annoying! Bought some Festivale items at NC.
  • Lastly, my signed Julia Quinn book arrived today! Another book to add to my reading list. I love Bridgerton!! ❤️

Hope y’all had a nice one! Take care.

Good night.

Day 294.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s New Year’s Eve!!! 😱

Here are some memories from 2020:

  • Spent the first few days of 2020 in London! I miss traveling. 😭 That would be my only flight of the year.
  • The Super Bowl and celebrating our birthday all of February! Our visit to Yosemite was a highlight. Life would change drastically a few weeks later.
  • One final happy hour in March. Then the world shut down. 💔
  • Invested most of my time playing Animal Crossing and I learned the uke!
  • I watched so many tv shows and movies. My sleep schedule was all over the place.
  • Grateful for everything in life especially my health, family, friends, work, and safety.
  • I’ll even put online dating down. 😂 It didn’t work out, but it was a life lesson.
  • Pinayista! 🇵🇭❤️
  • The election! 🇺🇸

It’s been a ride. Here’s to 2021! Please stay safe and be well. 🥳🥂💜

I cooked and I baked today. Beari was also coughing. I hope she’s okay. Felt the mini earthquake this morning too.

Btw the paper crown I’m wearing is from London. I decided to bring it back with me since I didn’t get to wear it last NYE. It’s cute! 👸🏻

This is good night. I’m so sleepy right now, but I gotta make it to midnight. I’m about to play Animal Crossing too. 🥰

Good night!

Day 286.

Happy Wednesday! I didn’t do much today. I finished sending out the rest of my holiday cards. That was a relief. I still have a few more presents to wrap up. I’m planning to clean up a bit before Friday! I can’t believe that Christmas is almost here.

We were able to grocery shop today. Yay! I stay home for all of that, but I help by unloading and putting things away. I really miss pre-COVID times. I know the world won’t be the same after all of this. 😭 I’m just thankful for food. ❤️

Anyway, I got to practice playing Last Christmas on my uke. It’s a lot of fun! I love learning new songs. I’ll probably learn some other Christmas songs too.

Animal Crossing update: it’s been something trying to get these festive DIYs. I only have 4 in total! I’ve stayed up just trying to get all of them. Here’s hoping I find another one tonight. 🥴🙃

I really want to watch The Bee Gees documentary. Maybe tonight? Or another holiday movie? I don’t know.

Planning to catch up with friends in the next few days. Can’t wait! Oh yeah, my highlight of the day: getting my Pat McGrath lipstick in the mail. Woo! Love the color.

Hope y’all had a good one. Take care and be safe!

Good night.

Day 258.

It’s Wednesday! Happy Turkey Eve!! 🙂 There’s so much to prep tomorrow so I’m planning to sleep earlier than usual.

I spent most of my day watching TV. I’ve got two episodes left of The Queen’s Gambit. I’m honestly hooked! I took a long nap after lunch. It was much needed.

Animal Crossing update: I got to tidy up part of my island! Win!! Looking forward to the holiday festivities tomorrow. 🦃🍴Should be a lot of fun.

I’ve been listening to a lot of music lately. It’s a mix of holiday, contemporary, and the Y2K era!! I’ve played my uke two days in a row. I’m learning some new songs.

This time of year is about being with family and friends, but it’s super important to celebrate at home. 2020 has been very different, but may our actions now preserve holidays and celebrations for the future! We can do it!!! 😷❤️ Be mindful of our essential workers too – we owe them so much!

Take care and good night! May you all enjoy the feast. Celebrate responsibly!

Day 242.

I had a case of the Mondays. I was cold and tired. It’s getting chilly in the city. I bundled up for work – beanie, scarf, and gloves. 🥶 Work was an adventure, but I’m always learning & growing. 👍🏼

I took care of everything on my to do list. My Covid test has been scheduled, ordered my meds, and dropped off a birthday card for Earl. Gotta deal with some other things later on this week. I hope it gets sorted out.

I wore my vanilla perfume today. It’s divine! Perfect for the season. I’m excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s been a trying year, but it’s nice to look forward to the little things such as hot chocolate, wrapping presents, and putting up decorations.

My driving lesson is tomorrow morning and I’m pumped! I hope I do well. It’s been a while. My instructor seems nice.

I had milk tea with boba earlier and I don’t think it’s the best idea. Lol! I feel pretty wired right now. I’m hoping I can sleep at a decent time. I gotta be up at 9am.

I strummed my uke for a bit. I’m going to learn some holiday songs to play for family and friends. 🙂

Animal Crossing update: I played this morning. I’ll play again in a bit to spend some time with Wart Jr. He’s moving out tomorrow.

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

Good night.

Day 198.

Happy Saturday! It’s been a sad day. I found out this morning that our uncle passed away suddenly. 😭💔 He was so kind. RIP Tito Rino. 🤍

A death always puts everything into perspective. It’s a wake up call! I need to do more with my time. I need to stop wasting the day. This year has been super tough for everyone, but I’d like to believe there’s a silver lining after all of this. There has to be.

I played my uke and dedicated Somewhere Over the Rainbow to my uncle. Fly high!! 🌈

The Giants are in control of their destiny. They were handed a loss. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. It’s win or go home. Go Giants! 🖤🧡

Animal Crossing update: The final Bug-Off event of the year happened today. I did pretty well for myself. I redeemed my points for a spider plate door decor. Perfect for the fall and Halloween!!

I finally got a workout in. This week has been heavy, but I’m slowly getting back on the horse. Work will be resuming shortly. There’s a lot to do before then. Just breathe.

We ordered Hahn’s Hibachi for lunch. Brings back so many memories! I got my usual, bbq chicken with rice. I’ll finish the last of it tomorrow.

Lastly, I wanna say Happy Birthday to my cousin, Ryan! 🥳🥰🎂

Well, I hope y’all had a nice one. Take care!

Good night.

Day 192.

I’m kinda feeling better today. Happy Sunday! It’s a new week and I’m looking forward to what it may bring. I watched Last Christmas again before bed. I can’t remember if it’s my 5th or 6th time watching. And I was at Covent Garden around where they filmed. So cool!

I was pretty tired again. I napped twice. I feel pretty energized since I’m tidying up my room. I’m putting away my luggage, my shoe rack, and I might be returning some things I purchased.

Caught some of the Niners game via their app. So many injuries. 😭😫💔 Bosa looks out for the rest of the season. Thomas might be too. Why?! The turf sucks at MetLife. We play there again next week vs. the Giants.

The Giants beat the A’s. No sweep! 🖤🧡🎃 Eight games remaining. We just need to win 5 to get into the postseason. Who knows?!

I played my uke. Felt like forever. I just needed music to help me feel better. Still in a funk. That’s the truth.

Animal Crossing update: finally paid off my loan! Decided to pull from my savings. Woo!! Truffles has officially moved in. She’s unboxing things, but it’s nice to have a new villager. 🙂

I’m just listening to music while I put things away. I have so much makeup. I put some on at home because why not?! 😊 It’s always fun.

That was my Sunday. I plan on studying a bit tonight. Progress!!

Take care and good night.

Day 185.

Football Sunday! It’s back. ❤️💛 The Niners struggled. It’s only one game. Adjustments will be made. Go Niners! 🙂

And the Giants were swept in SD. 😬 Hoping they pick themselves up. These upcoming games will be a challenge. Go Giants! 🖤🧡

Anxiety has been up and down. Still haven’t replied. 🙃

I slept in. I washed the dishes. Ordered boba. I’m hungry again. Might eat a bit more before bed.

Animal Crossing update: Had to time travel again to buy my turnips. I bought 30 this time around. Hoping to make a nice profit this week. My island is still a mess. 😂

I’m going to play my uke. Eventually respond to this text and tidy up. It’s a new week! I’m feeling pretty good. 💜

Hoping my assignment gets approved for my class. I’ve been waiting to take the test, but it’s still locked. Ugh. I think I mentioned this in yesterday’s entry.

Have a great week, everyone! Take care.

Good night.
