Nung nagkasakit ang Mama, thankful ako sa music ni Chappell Roan. Hindi dahil sa nakaka-relate ako sa mga kanta nya, sobrang ganda lang talaga nung ni-release nyang album. Nakaka-soothe (isa sa mga proof na may healing properties talaga ang music). Basta pag nakakapakinig ako ng music ni Chappell Roan, naaalala ko yung malungkot na moment na yun at kung pano ko sya kinaya.

Ngayong nawala naman ang Mommy, naaaliw akong makinig sa SB19 (thanks Kat sister). Tinatawanan ako ng mga pinsan ko na K-pop fans. Sabi pa ni Isabelle, hindi raw nya gusto kasi mga muka daw maaasim. Hahaha! Basta feeling ko nababaduyan sila sakin. Eh may pagkahilig naman talaga ko sa mga baduy (e.g. Aegis). Basta magaling, kahit baduy, na-aappreciate ko. As in kung may pagkakataon, a-attend talaga ko ng concert nila. Pupunta nga dito sa Calgary ang SB19, kaso nasa Pilipinas ako nun. Sayang.

I’m just extra grateful for music nowadays. It helps me function when it’s too overwhelming to move. Music carries the weight of the difficult emotions and transforms them into something more bearable.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

I’m super happy with my current reads. So far, I’ve finished 2 books (Born a Crime and The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and both were easy 5-star reads. My goal each year is to read 1 book a month, and I’m pretty much on track.

Right now, I’m switching it up with fiction and I’m currently reading The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez. I’m really enjoying it. The kilig is kiliging. People on the internet say that if you love Emily Henry’s books, you’ll probably like Abby Jimenez too—and it looks like they’re right. I’m picky with romance novels so I’m glad to have found another reliable author for my romance fix besides Emily Henry.

Injury + Current Reads + Polar Bear and Almond

Sira ang plano ko ngayon. Kung kelan finally nagkaron ako ng motivation na mag-film ulit ng video para sa YT channel ko—balak ko sana gumawa ng isa pang ‘Draw with Me’ video kasi nasa mood din ulit akong mag-drawing—pero sumasakit nanaman yung braso at kamay ko. Nagse-self diagnose ako pero feeling ko repetitive strain injury pero sana naman wag carpal tunnel. Nakakaasar ilang beses na ‘tong paulit ulit. Parang kelangan kong maghinay-hinay sa mga hobbies ko.

Pansin ko kasi sumasakit pag medyo matagal akong nagd-drawing or after ko mag-piano. Hays miss ko na mag-piano ulit pero natatakot ako na baka sumakit nanaman katulad nung dati. Nakakainis talaga. Pero kelangan kong ipahinga ‘to at baka lalo pang lumala. Pero eto yung nasimulan ko kasi balak ko gumawa ng new sticker sheet para sa aking online shop.
