Health and wellness szn

I have been obsessing about my general wellness recently.

I think I’ve spent around 200k to make my body function properly again.

In March 2022, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It was an accidental discovery. Coming home from a mini vacation with my Tata, my sister suggested I test for blood glucose together with Tata since she’s pre-diabetic.

To all of our surprise, I scored 231. Sister shocked, I panicked. I booked a tele-consultation on the spot and had a quick consult with a doctor to recommend me some blood tests.

It was a painful journey. On top of my COVID-19 anxiety, I am now more sick and even more prone to being sick and death.

I cried every night hating my situation and getting more anxious about dying. Kevin and I, for a month, walked the neighborhood nightly so I can lose weight and have an ounce of exercise. We could have continued if not for the rainy days. We eventually stopped doing that but made sure we put in some steps daily. I usually record 100 steps on my phone. — I know, I need to put in more.

Apart from the obvious medication, I also wanted to work on my flexibility.

My back has been in pain for more than 5 years and I just feel it’s high time I work on it.

I subscribed to chiropractic sessions. I have less back pain but still feel pain around the base of my neck.

I sleep on my side, so that doesn’t really help.

Generally, I am happy with my progress. My sugar is significantly better than when I started. My pain is less.

I am looking forward to a healthier life. To that rich life where I can live slow and enjoy every moment.

Deep Ocean Deep Sleep

I don’t remember having sleep problems when I was younger.

But since this year, I have been having noticeable trouble sleeping. I’d play this playlist on Spotify and would feel relaxed and finally lightly fall asleep.

I never knew I’d reach this kind of anxiety or distraction (I don’t know yet) that I’d need some tool to help me rest.

It is fascinating how focusing on a sound can clear the mind. Science is amazing!

iPad first

I’ve been struggling with focus recently.

At first, I thought I just had a lot of ideas. But now that I am more aware of the amount of ideas that I have, I think I have a focus problem.

My constant worry of not having enough in case we get sick is driving me to become an idea factory. It just never stops and it hurts.

I can’t sleep at times and I get overwhelmed. That’s just not good.

Soooooo, I want to try this iPad first thing where I will check my iPad first thing to see what’s in store for me for the day.

I plan my day before I sleep, log my meetings, errands, anything that needs time blocking so I know what to say yes and no to.

I am hoping that this will work to help me unload thoughts, too.

It’s been 2 years!

I haven’t written anything on here. A lot of things changed - views, family, work.

The best change — we now have Bella! (Photos to follow)

She saved us from the cruel isolation of the pandemic and from going insane.

I am also convince that I might be neurodivergent. This still needs verification but I think my opinion is enough validation.

Things that did not change — I am still trying to create a passive income stream. I am not very successful because I don’t feel the urgency of it. But who knows, this habit of working on things slowly but surely might play a part in actually setting it up.

Other things that did not change — I am still with Kevin. We’re still in love.

Want to grow your investment portfolio with real estate investment trusts? If you do, I’m sure you heard about REITs. Today, we discuss about REITS and how to make money investing in REITs in the Philippines in 2020. With the news of a bill passing in Congress which allows foreign entities to open companies here […]

Alrighty.

i have been consuming a lot of real estate related content. Videos, podcast, blogs, FB groups, you name it!

In the effort to increase my income streams, I have come across this blog and it seemed interesting.

I have never heard of Real Estate Investment Trust before and I would really like to know more.

I do not know where to start though.

Maybe an eToro account would help. haha!

Anyway, I remember chatting with my sister about investments and income streams, she said that she’s looking at 7 income streams. Quite a lot if you ask me. But maybe doable.

Looking at what I have now, I need 5 more. I have a long way to go. But I don’t want to launch it all in 1 go. There must be some organisation in my activities.

I will have to focus on the ones I have now.

Well, maybe add in REITs as a 3rd :)

I might ask them to speak to the young me and tell her to explore more.

Reschedules

Soooo, everything got moved from last week to this week. It’s kind of tedious. But sure, I can manage.

Lately I have been feeling pointless. That life is not going anywhere. I remember feeling like shit when I failed my board exams. I literally felt like shit and that I am just a soul wandering the earth looking for something that I do not even know.

This pandemic feels like that too. Except, maybe, I have the rest of the world probably feeling the same way.

Anywayyyy, I try to get things done. I make to-do lists to keep me looking forward to the next thing. No bigger plans other than what to do next weekend.

This Monday blues is really getting to me. K bye.

Today: A Win!

For more than 5 years I have been overweight to obese. This is a result of PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome). No matter what I do, I cannot lose weight and to top it off, my menstrual cycles has been a mess. For years, I did not have my period. I would occasionally take pills to force it out but it affected my skin.

The only way to regulate my period was to lose weight. And the only way I could lose weight was to manage my PCOS.

I’ve gone to the OB Gyn every now and then. But couldn’t stay consistent even with an HMO coverage. I thought to myself “I don’t have time”.

As I aged, I realised the importance of staying healthy. Although I did not have other illnesses, my PCOS was always in my head.

So now, during the quarantine, I continued my prescribed medication. missing a day or a time every now and then but I have been consistent.

I’ve seen changes in my body, like losing weight *celebratory dance* and clearing of my skin on top of my skin care routine.

And today, TODAY, for the first time in forever, I have my period without taking pills!

I HAVE MY PERIOD

It is such a win in this trying times. For me, at least. I know a lot of us are experiencing different things and have a heavier weight than my mere PCOS. But it is a WIN for me.

The one thing, I guess, good that came out from this pandemic is a much needed reset for those who can afford to reset. Me included.

Diary app

I got this app from late February called Card Diary.

I tried so hard to put in entries day in and day out. I sometimes failed to put excerpts from the day but I made sure that there was something on it like a photo.

I wanted to get the premium version thinking that I can do it. I can write something about my day everyday.

Turns out, I am not so determined after all.

Looking at my life, the only long term thing that I have is my relationship with Kevin. I’d give up on occasions, but I sure am determined to keep it.

Back to the app.

So.. I thought I should copy and paste my entries here. But as I was about to do it, I got lazy. lol typical me.

I suppose I shouldn’t be promising anything ever.

I should just do it. Make a schedule and try to do it.

New normal scribbles

It’s kind of hard to make a plan nowadays. You just don’t know if you will be able to have the energy to do it when you should do it.

Working from home is starting to take a toll on me. I still do not prefer commuting to and from work. Staying at home spaces me out. I seem to procrastinate even more. I sleep late, I don’t get anything done.

A few weeks back I started learning the ukulele. However, I haven’t touched it since last week. I can’t muster the energy to even pick it up.

Here’s a list of all the things that I started and/or revived since March.

Diary

Tomato plants

Ukulele

Cream cheese spreads

Skin care

Closet clean up

The Sims

Tumblr

Eyelash extensions

Eyelash lift

Online loans administration

Drying Oregano

Legends of the Blue Sea

The Umbrella Academy 1&2

Call of Duty

I can’t remember the others hahaha

But that’s a lot going on. My interest on some I started to fade out. Some still ongoing.

I wish I could continue everythinggggggg

I want to have a structured day.

I should start with waking up early, yeah?

I’ve been playing a lot of COD recently.

It’s keeping my stress levels low. It’s kinda nice to digitally shoot once in a while.

My baby and I played it before bed last night. We won most rounds, we make a good team 🥰

Would love to have something Korean right about nowwwwww

The Sims 4,Sims,Simmer,Content Creator,MSQSIMS,TheSimsResource

Been looking for some SIM models because it’s too tedious to create one for Wicked Whims.

I don’t know how to record gameplay, so will just have to enjoy by myself :)

Recreating this blog

Yup.

This should be a fun blog.

That was my initial thought. But I realised, it should more of a real blog.

Sooo I’m changing it to become a storage of my life lessons and maybe let my future child read it so I won’t have to repeat myself. 👌🏼

No recreation found.

That’s about what this post meant. 😂😂😂

Modern Housewares Slots Update Since the most recent patch seemed to cause objects with many clutter slots crash the game, I have created another version of the pack which has less slots on each...

My last entry was 2018? hahaha Oh well, how time flies when you’re having fun. It’s been a wild ride 2020, I have a strong feeling of ending this year early. Too many lives lost and too many people suffering from the pandemic. Anywaaaayyyyyy Life update: I have been working from home since March 4, 2020. It has been great for the most part because I get to spend more time with family and our baby dog, Bella F. On some days I feel trapped because, you know, I literally can’t go anywhere. There has been too much online shopping money spent on unnecessary stuff, but to defend myself, it’s for my mental health. lol I tried to do a daily diary, but I can’t keep it up because I am too busy worrying about our safety. Sometimes I still think about the future, like buying a house or traveling. I do snap back to reality soon after which cancels out all those plans. What a paradox right? Which leads me to this link. Since nobody can live a normal life, I was really drawn back to an old love, The Sims! I remember playing on my mom’s computer when it came out more than 10 years ago. And now as an adult, I feel like my game play hasn’t changed at all. hahaha But I try to be better at it. I’m also into designing houses. I was actually mind blown when I found out that people actually watch builds and game play on Youtube. I am a lot of years late! So, last week, I decided I will buy the game. It’s the very first video game that I have bought for myself. I feel kind of proud! I hope to upload my work on the gallery soon. Maybe here too! Since getting onto the game, I have discovered custom content as well! This link leads you to one. It’s perfect for my condo build. Amazing stuff these creators are doing!

I had the chance to catch a glimpse of fun last Tuesday when my best girls came over my side of the metro to support their office mate who’s a part of this band called Stonefree.

I joined them on my hour long lunch break. A much needed one.

As I ordered my php15 per piece chicken wings, I thought to myself, “What a hypocritical thing for my employer to expect their employees not to grab a cold alcoholic beverage in between working hours. After all that work that they make us do and pay measly for, they still want to steal from us that satisfying feeling of a cold bubbly liquid running through our throats on our breaks.” then proceeded to drink my barely cold water and enjoyed the band play.
