Monthly Dump: August
It was August of last year (2021) when I started making camera dump videos where I compile images and videos that highlight my month and post it on my social media. This year, I decided to also start doing a monthly blog post about how my month went. And I’m also starting it with August. August is not that sentimental to me, but I guess it will be now.
So here are the highlights of my August:
I finally dyed my hair red. Well, it’s not totally red because it’s a mix of Bremod’s Burgundy and Red. It’s been a lifelong dream to have my hair dyed and I’m so happy I finally achieved it without my mom scolding me. She even helped me that day. :D
I wrote a new song entitled Kahit Di Mo Sabihin. I really wanted to link the demo file here but I feel like it’s not the time yet. I started making my own songs with my ukulele guitar, and this song’s what I considered the most special one. All because I had to watch vlogs by Chiro Miranda, TONEEJAY, and Rico Blanco, before writing it because I wanted it to turn out good. For me it did. I’ll share more about my song soon! Not a pro, but pwede na.
I finished reading My Heart and Other Blackholes. It was a good book. I had fun reading it and learned a lot about the life of someone plotting her own death. I’m happy that I’m slowly getting back to reading again.
I made friends with the resident cat in the apartment/building where I’m staying. I named her Mingkay which I usually play with at 3 am when I take breaks from my work. Sadly, we aren’t allowed to give her food, but I’m allowed to play with her. I once gave her a cat treat tho, I just had to turn my back to the CCTV so the landlady won’t see us.
I had a lunch out with some of my college friends. It felt good to be socializing again after staying at home for months. And it’s nice to see familiar faces again and talk about our lives after 2-3 years of not seeing each other.
It was a fun month. A rollercoaster ride I guess. Shred a lot of tears, had a breakdown but also laughed a lot of times. I guess that is the cycle of my life. I’m excited for the next month’s entry!
