This morning ⛅, an unexpected message showed up in my messenger. 

It was a message from my old friend, Mar. They suddenly asked me how I was doing. It’s been 8 years since I left Baguio and I wasn’t able to keep in touch with any of my old classmates so it was indeed a huge surprise seeing their message. It felt really nice to catch up with them and I feel so warm inside that we were still able to talk as if years haven’t gone by. I was only in grade 4 back then but now we are talking about what universities to choose. Oh, how far we’ve come! 😌 💖

P.S.  I used they because I’m not sure what pronouns to use since it looks like they changed their name but I wasn’t able to discuss it with them.

Ice cream, chillin', chillin' Ice cream, chillin' - Blackpink, Selena Gomez 🍦🍦🍦

Things have been really tough for the past weeks. Tons of requirements, organization responsibilities, and of course responsibilities at home. To celebrate how I got through all those challenging weeks, I decided to prepare my brownie ala mode at 2  in the morning 😅🥱 Having that dessert really made me happy and motivated me to push through for the last two weeks of the term.

Netflix really said stop and watch Enola Holmes.

“You’re being emotional, it’s understandable, but necessary.” - Sherlock Holmes

This quote from the movie reminded me of how I was the past few days. I was being so emotional because of being overwhelmed by the requirements due this week. In a way, this quote from Sherlock comforted me and reminded me that these feelings that I’m feeling right now are valid.

"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" - Albert Einstein

As wave 1 of hell week is coming up, I decided to clean-up the mess I made for the past weeks. Having tons and tons of requirements really makes a mess of my workspace, just like my mind, very cluttered and all over the place 😅🤪. The very clean workspace really motivated me to face the upcoming hell weeks (part1 and part2).

“Sisters make the best friends in the world.” - Marilyn Monroe

As the school year started and tons and tons of requirements piled up I realized that I spent less time to bond with my sisters. Even if we are in the same place all the time, it seemed like we lived in different places 🪐🌍, submerged in our online classes. With that, I spent my Saturday night playing games with my sister, catching up on what’s happening to their online classes and many more stuff 🎶📼.

Exercise relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood.” - Sharma (2006)

I’m not really into doing intensive exercises. Having my last PE course this term, I’ve learned about warm-up exercises 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️ that I could do early in the morning before having online classes. It really helped to keep my mind active and increase my attention span.

"Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough." - Oprah Winfrey

Online setting for classes may be challenging but I am really thankful for having Frence and Isadelle as my groupmates. Knowing someone who knows, understands and experiences the same struggles as you, really makes things more manageable 🥰🥰. They are very cooperative and easy to communicate with. Without them I would have probably given up on all the school requirements we have. 🤷🤷‍♀️

“You were given your gift for the joy you may give in return.” - Cornelius Elmore Addison, Tom Thorneval: Dream Merchant Extraordinaire

I spent my Wednesday night sharing knowledge to my previous school about photojournalism 📸📸 for an Online Press Conference. Having been able to impart knowledge about my passion was really heart-warming and satisfying. It was also really music to the ears 🎶🎶 hearing the thank you’s of the participants and that they learned a lot from my short lecture. Hope to meet them once the pandemic is over.

“Sweet food induces positive feelings.” - Knuppel (2017)

After having been in lockdown for almost 6 months, I was finally able to drink some milk tea 😍🥰 Nothing much to say, only much milk tea to drink 😅 Hoping for things to go back to the way it used to be before the pandemic 🤞🤞

“For me, the camera is a sketchbook, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.” ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson

Photographing the beauty in simple things or sceneries is a really calming and soul-healing experience. Being in lockdown, I had little to no time to take a breath and capture photos. I just really love how I was once again able to spend time with my best friend, my camera 📸📸📸. I just really miss covering events in DLSU and capturing emotions of people.

“Make a bucket list and fill it with dreams that have no boundaries.” ~ Annette White

I made a bucket list today to make me feel motivated in life in order to tick off the boxes from my bucket list. As of now, my main goals are to see the aurora borealis, celebrate my birthday in an orphanage, visit the Eiffel Tower, go hiking in Machu Picchu, and drink milk tea in Taiwan.  I hope to add more later on as I discover new things that interests me.

“Life is more fun if you play games”. - Roald Dahl 

 After our RCY Meeting on Zoom, my fellow org officers decided to play Among Us! Among Us is a game wherein you have to vote who is/are the imposter/s among the crewmates. It was my first time playing the game so at first I was a little bit confused. Even though it was only my first time, I was the last to be killed by the two impostors although I don’t even understand how that happened, haha!

“Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude, and your mood.” - Anonymous

Did some stretching today! After a whole week of sitting down doing online classes, it’s important to stretch your body. Stretching is important because it helps keep your muscles strong, healthy, and flexible.
