Cozy Autumn
Sobrang daming geese kanina! Naririnig ko sila so binuksan ko yung bintana. Feeling Mary Oliver ako kasi napapansin ko, pag madaming geese sa sky at papunta sila sa isang direction, uulan. I’m sure maco-confirm ko ‘to sa Google pero ayoko. Natutuwa lang akong i-observe yung activity nila.
And true enough, after a couple of minutes, umulan nga. Ang sarap ng moment na ‘to. Kanina pa kong 6AM gising, 8AM na ngayon at tulog pa rin ang mga tao, gloomy at umuulan, pagsilip ko sa bintana, ang gandang tingnan nung orange-yellow-brown leaves ng mga puno, pinatugtog ko yung ‘No Lyrics Chill’ playlist ko sa Spotify, at ito, nagsusulat. Hays ang saraaaap.

A collection of things I want to be reminded of:
📖 The church of minding one’s own business
👀 Stop obsessing about the future, let things flow
📖 Routines are not chores, they are life + Finding solace in books (idea #3 and quote #2)
It’s already September (ambilis) and I am revisiting my 2023 Game Plan today. June pa lang naiisip ko na ‘tong gawin pero may work ako so wala talaga ko masyadong time magmuni-muni. Basta yung past few months I am always preoccupied with something at nag-procrastinate ako to do my mid-year review. I feel like ngayon, ito na yung tamang moment.
Let’s start with the theme
Ang theme ko this year ay:

Planning is a Luxury
I was doing my very late mid-year review a while ago (yet to be published) at after kong matuwa sa mga na-accomplish kong goals, na-stress ako after. Dun kasi sa 13 goals na sinet ko in the beginning of the year, dalwa lang yung fail, tapos isa na lang yung natitirang work in progress. So parang sa isip ko, isa na lang? Meron pang 4 months na natitira this year. Ano pang dapat kong gawin?
Pinapanood ko yung vlog ni Heart at Chiz tapos may nabanggit dun na, “Breaking up with a true friend would certainly hurt.” Nag-standout sakin yung words na “true friend”.
Recently I had a falling out with a friend of 20+ years and ngayon, I really feel and know that I’m better off. Initially I was hurt pero ang bilis kong naka-move on. At yung rason siguro ay dahil I recently discovered na hindi na pala sya nagfi-fit dun sa description of a “true friend”. Kaya siguro ang dali nyang bitawan.
Let’s take a break from writing about our recent trip at mag-recalibrate. Since natapos na nga yung contract ko sa previous work ko, I’m currently on a break. It’s been 2 weeks since our trip at ang ginagawa ko lang ay:
Nasa Costco ako at tinitingnan ‘to:
Merong puti na lumapit sakin. Feeling ko in her 60s na sya. Tawagin natin syang Molly.
Gusto ko yung natutunan ko sa ‘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, “Less is more.”
