Day 1: Exploring Downtown + Meeting My Blog Pal + Shoppinggg | AB-BC Trip 2023 Series

Calgary, AB β€’ July 30

Day 2 at Calgary! This was supposed to be a chill/rest day dahil sa haba ng byahe kahapon. Ako lang talaga yung may ganap. Nung nalaman ng parents ni Kenneth na pa-Downtown ako to meet someone that I met here in the blogosphere, Jolens, gusto na rin nila sumama haha. Ihahatid lang daw nila ko then magiikot na sila sa Downtown.

Preamble: Bakasyon | AB-BC Trip 2023 Series

Ang dami kong blog posts na hindi natutuloy kasi hindi ko sya matapos ng isang upuan, so naiipon at naiipon lang sila sa drafts kasi nawala na yung enthusiasm ko to finish writing them. Pero eto pipilitin kong ituloy kahit antok na ko. Naka 3 hours lang ako ng tulog kagabi huhu.

Last day ko sa work kahapon and it was bittersweet. But it was more sweet than bitter. Bitter kasi wala na ulit akong regular income. Pero sweet kasi miss ko nang magkaron ng more time to do stuff, like writing here. Looking forward akong magbakasyon at ipahinga ang likod, braso, at kamay ko. Eto naman talaga yung dream ko as of now: work ng ilang months, pahinga ng ilang months. Kasi sobrang nakakabitin ang weekend after a 5-day work week. Pahinga muna tayo ngayon.

Will miss my office reading spot

Costco Diaries

Nasa Costco ako at tinitingnan β€˜to:

Merong puti na lumapit sakin. Feeling ko in her 60s na sya. Tawagin natin syang Molly.

100% Real Mango Juice (No Preservatives)

Gusto ko yung natutunan ko sa β€˜Waking Up’ app:

Parang sabi wag daw tayong ma-feel bad if we’re missing out. Kasi missing out means you get to focus on just a few things or people, hence, living a richer life. Kasi pag yes lang tayo ng yes sa lahat, or collect lang tayo ng collect ng friends/acquaintances, sabog sabog yung experience. We’re spreading ourselves too thin.

Naihalintulad ko yung fear of missing out sa paginom ng mango juice na overly diluted with water. Hint na lang nung mango yung malalasahan ko. Nakakabitin at hindi enjoyable. Unlike pag pure mango juice, ang sarap, ang rich ng flavor. So tingin ko ang sinasabi dito, mas masarap ang buhay if you only commit your time to a few important things/events/hobbies/people.

At dahil dyan, nagkaron ng another level of meaning for me yung saying na, β€œLess is more.”

Life Updates | Fasting + Retail Therapy + Books & TV

1.

Wala naman ako talagang balak mag-intermittent fasting pero nahawa ako ni Kenneth na mag-skip ng breakfast. Hanggang sa nasanay na lang ako, at may bonus perk pa sya na 2x a day ko na lang po-problemahin ang kakainin ko imbis na 3x. Nung binilang ko, nakaka-16 to 17 hrs ako na fasting almost everyday.

Fake Twitter #32

Hays I’m so sad na nagdadalaga na yung mga bulinggit kong pinsan. Hindi na malambing at hindi na pati namamansin. Yung dati habol na habol sayo at super kulit, ngayon may sarili na talaga silang bubble. Naging teenager naman ako dati so dapat gets ko pero ang hirap kasi tanggapin huhu. Dahil dyan, mas nangangayaw akong magka-anak. Di ko kakayanin ang rejection from my own child 😭
