bought a bunch of plants and brought them with me to a cafe
walked 500m from the dentist to seollem cafe :) i went out earlier thinking i’d be able to get in but i didn’t make the cut - there were 13 people in line / ahead of me and the clinic would close before it would even get to my turn. they unfortunately don’t take appointments (just walk-ins), and i don’t like going out for just one errand so i didn’t want to waste the day heading straight home especially since i literally cut my sleep down to four hours just to get there early.
i decided to walk to this cafe instead since i already know the way and have been here before. i would’ve loved to squeeze in a visit to the dentist before my birthday, but oh well. still a day well spent!!
so so proud of myself for staying physically active while i'm in a different environment! i thought it was going to be challenging, but deciding to be active every day just comes so effortlessly to me now. even with food, i mostly eat vegetables. hindi na rin ako nasesermonan ng nanay ko because i hardly eat what she cooks. now i even ask her to cook gulay. yung tatay ko naman naninibago pa rin lol. ang sarap pala talaga ng balanced lifestyle no, kasi i swear every time i eat out i don't feel any guilt at all na because i know i eat clean and healthy most days and i exercise every day.
anyway i guess the only thing i haven't been able to keep up with here is reading the book i brought with me (the stranger by albert camus) and journaling. it's always so noisy here so i'm constantly overstimulated. i can't read properly when there are too many things going on around me. i still use my journal every day to plan my day / the week, but i don't get to write in my actual diary because i (probably) don't feel safe writing here. i've tried so many times to sit down and write but i couldn't so i just stopped forcing it haha.
the smiski in the picture keeps falling off the lamp because of its weight, but i'm planning to buy a glue gun so i can stick it there. hopefully that works, because look how cute it is sitting there! the lamp looks like a whimsical tree, and the little green guy is just under it, reading. so cute :>

6:14pm - on the way to the cafe. got there early and read for ~30 minutes before my friend arrived (she wasn’t late, i was just early). ordered the best sea salt latte i’ve had in the city.
11:30pm - @ my parents’ bedroom ! they let me stay here whenever i visit because i’m too scared to sleep in my old room since it’s always vacant when i’m not around. i’m even scared in the guest room lol so they end up sleeping there instead. BUT the house looks so much better now !! lots of improvements and it doesn’t feel like a haunted house anymore lol
