Hello. I'm new here. I'm a little anxious to try this site because I have a terrible case of anxiety. I'm trying to find a safe place to post stuff. I don't usually talk a lot on other platforms but I want to try... I hope to enjoy my time here. I'll try my best to share a bit about myself and things that might interest other people. Hopefully I don't end up talking to myself! ~ I like to use emojis but I'm not a hundred percent sure if that is okay here? I'll explore other…
I spent the day making myself a crocheted face mask. It's not done yet. I still have to crochet the ear loops and sew the fabric lining. I have work tomorrow, so I'm not sure when will I finish it. I use KF94 when I ride public transpo but I use cloth masks whenever I'm indoors and with a few people. We still have to wear masks here in the Philippines. I'm fully vaccinated but I don't mind wearing masks outdoors. The new variant had spread so we are on a strict lockdown - or…
One thing that improved my mental health was finding a new hobby. Before I was so focused with work and I get upset when I couldn't meet the expectations I set for myself. I didn't have a plan B in life, my work defined who I was. at that time I felt that it did. I thought 'if i fail here, I'll be nothing' at some point I had a breakdown (long story 😅) It took years and a lot of thinking, searching.. then I learned to relax and I told myself I should find another thing to…
Here's the story about my current profile photo ~ This is the purple Among Us crewmate. Crochet amigurumi handmade by me! I enjoyed watching Valkyrae, Sykkuno, Corpse and the others play this game last year. I played the game with strangers a couple of times, but I think it's more fun if you play this with your friends, because you know them better. (or maybe it's because I'm an introvert) #RandomThoughts
I recently bought new shoes online! I found a local shop called Shoeranghae Footwear Shop. Their name probably came from the korean expression "Saranghae" which roughly means - I love you - combined with the word shoe. I don't speak Korean so this might not be so accurate. They must like korean culture! They are located in Marikina Philippines. The city is known for affordable and sturdy shoes so I was positive that they'll have good quality shoes. And yes, the shoes were…
I'm overthinking. I might have hearted someone twice because I thought I tapped my phone screen too lightly so I tapped again so the heart would turn red, but I'm not sure. Is that even possible? 🙃 #RandomThoughts
We were in a lockdown in our city and the week, along with the strict lockdown, is almost over now. I tried my best. Considering we are still in a pandemic, I think I did okay. A lot happened this week, both locally and in other places, far away from where I am. The news could bring a lot of hopeless feeling sometimes . But I'm thankful that my family is safe. That I am doing fine. I know not everyone is experiencing the same thing , so I sincerely hope that everyone here…
Sometimes I feel the burnout before it totally hits me. Ugh 😑
Weekend is the only time I could do a lot of house chores. These are kind of my "reset" days. I already did my laundry, clean a part of our kitchen and played The Sims 4! Hopefully I could declutter and crochet til tomorrow. I feel tempted to just lay in bed and browse sns 😇
Sometimes I comment without realizing I just interacted with the same person a few hours ago. Sorry but tbh they write good stuff so I get compelled to comment on their posts.. 😅 I'm still trying to get a hang of this and I want to avoid jail time so I'm not sure if it's bad to interact with the same people too much. I'll be more careful 😆
Starting a new crochet project. This wil be my first time making a crochet top and also my first time posting in this channel. I'm using 4-ply acrylic yarn. Wish me luck! 😆 I'll update once I've finished it. I'm more comfortable writing in English, but let me know if you prefer me posting in Tagalog. 💖
Currently listening to Anastasia's film instrumental soundtrack. The film is one of my favorite animated movie. I think it's a classic. My way of winding down since weekend is almost over and I have to go to our office tomorrow. We are still in quarantine here in the Philippines, but not as strict as before, still I don't know what to expect. Hope you are all safe, wherever you are.
Change of plan. My team decided to work from home today so I don't have to work at our office. While I am waiting for project updates, I am listening to new songs from Lorde. I also can't stop humming to TXT's Loser=Lover song.. It goes like this... '...Lover with a Dollar sign is a loser...' I can't really sing so I hum. haha. I am only their casual listener but they have good songs!
I just watched the Spiderman trailer and I guess I will be suffering until December. The plot looks so interesting. What I got from the trailer (disclaimer: I am not an MCU expert and I might be giving spoilers) the plot is that after the big reveal that Peter is Spiderman from the last movie, a lot of people are blaming him for the death of Mysterio. Dr. Strange will be kinda like a genie, and Peter makes a wish that he wants everyone to forget that he is Spiderman, but it…
I've been taking a nap after work this week, and I always end up feeling a little bit grumpy once I wake up after an hour or two. Apparently this is pretty normal, and might be a case of 'sleep inertia' or maybe I'm just hangry (angry hungry) haha
I was chatting with my collegue about her difficult client. They were doing corrections for a company report. As a graphic artist, I've met clients who demand perfection on first draft. Something I find ridiculous. Anything we create has a process, and part of the process are revisions. Even authors or other professionals do drafts before finalizing their work. The client was saying a lot of stuff about her that aren't very polite. They were pretty rude. I let her rant to me…
I suddenly have an awkward knee pain when I descended the stairs a couple of times today. I have to observe first though. This is my first time experiencing it. Hopefully I'm just A) tired, B) I lack excercise. Maybe C) I'm getting older or D - All of the above 😅
I've been listening to Dua Lipa's Levitating. I really like the tune and her voice. I think she's pretty talented. She had her infamous pencil sharpener and give us nothing memes, they were hilarious ngl - but I appreciate how, I think, she took the memes as a challenge to better herself. #Music
I'm so tired today. But everyone at home seems very tired too. I guess someone needs to be not too tired, and for now, that person has to be me. 😾 <---- this is my fighting face, let's get this 🍞!!
I decluttered a bit today. One of the things I threw out were these Monaco Acrylic Bands. When I was starting out as a crocheter, these were the most accessible type of yarn I could find. I didn't know most yarn brands before. They were cheap and I bought 3-4 pcs per week, I didn't notice I already collected a lot. These had color codes on them and I originally thought that I should keep them for reference. At some point I found other yarns with better quality so I stopped…
Something came up at work and it's a holiday. 😣 if i came out of this unharmed, I'll treat it as a second chance in life and check out one item on my shopee cart 🤪
The World Around Me (by me, august 30, 2021 / 1:09pm) The world around me moves, I stay still but my mind races towards nowhere, The world around me moves, I step one foot forward, and then the other I should hurry, i know I should move but the world moves instead, I want to hurry, you know, I don't know if I can make it forward again Around me, I want to find somewhere I could go - where my mind could dwell There's not a lot of places to go But I still try to move with the…
I don't have work today but one of our supervisors called me to discuss a problem this morning. We somehow sorted it out, but I was anxious the whole time I was talking to her. Shaking hands, palpitating and I was light-headed. I could have cried but everyone is home, and I kinda needed to keep it together because I'm already a drama queen without the crying part. Until now, I feel so light-headed, like all my energy was drained. They all tell me not to worry but I can't. I…
