I am OBSESSED. Last night, I came across a mobile app called Stellarium and it's a planetarium app. What has my heart all aflutter is that you get to see planets, constellations, even satellites in real time! I can't get over it. I've been so distracted at work pointing my phone up at the sky and seeing so many stars and planets. I've even caught some satellites swoosh by.
I LOVE THIS APP.
Disclaimer: I'm not so deep into astronomy that I know stars by name. Even constellations are lost to me. But I do love the stars and the moon. It just brings me so much joy having this planetarium in my pocket ❤️❤️❤️

Snacks! Snacks have become my weakness recently. Currently eating some hazelnut flavored Yan Yan. The original chocolate used to be a childhood favorite of mine. I'm pretty happy encountering this today. It's delicious!

Just wanted to share this pic. Our office cat. He was adopted by my boss and calls our office his home. His name is Papa Picolino, or Picolo for short 😃

I feel bad about my inconsistent posting but, to be honest, I'm not much of a blogger 😅. Still, I enjoy the occasional updates I put on here.
One of which is this! Totally random but I got some Aquaflasks last Christmas (quite more than I need really) and I made cozies for two of them already 💚 One more left and my set is complete.
I like these mindless projects I've been sneaking in. It's really fun and gets my mind out of project concerns at work. Viva peace of mind!

Just wanted to share. My cat snuggling coz she feels cold. It's a tropical country so I feel really bad when our pets take the brunt of the miserable weather. I mean, I love the chill but the animals have little choice in the matter.

I'm late! I wanted to say Happy New Year to you all! We're 8 days into the year and already two of my siblings are a year older! There are 4 of us siblings but 3 of us have our birthdays this month. My brother and younger sister have already celebrated their birthdays! 💚💚💚
I love this time of year. My birthday is still a few weeks away but I'm still feeling the festivities of the new year. Especially since year of the rabbit is my year 🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇
It's been a fun 2023 so far and I hope this extends for a few weeks more.
Again, to you all noise makers, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Cheers to everyone!

It's 2:30 in the morning as I type this and just wanted to take a short break from crocheting. Then I remembered I still had some fruit salad that I hadn't eaten yet
Well, it's supposed to be fruit salad anyway. All that matters is that it's delicious 💚

Sharing something I made recently. Technically, it's actually not completed yet but pretty happy with how it looks so far.
As is mentioned in my profile, I do crochet. Self-taught with handy dandy YouTube as my teacher. Started just last year and here I am today. Made quite a bit at this point and it's a surpringly diverting hobby. The yarn hoarding though is a legitimate problem 😅

Hello Noise makers! How are you today? Last night was my aunt's and uncle's 70th birthday celebration and just wanted to share my appreciation at the thought of get-togethers happening again. Covid exhausted us all.
I'm an introvert and I did better at coping but a lot of my relatives had it hard. So many of them were extremely social people so being cooped up for so long did no good to their mental health. ((DO REMEMBER YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. IT'S IMPORTANT TOO))
Cousins on my dad's side had a talk and we might have our New Years together again. We used to do that every 2 years and we're so overdue for another. Pretty excited to see them all if the plan pushes through 💚💚💚

Roughly a couple of weeks ago I went for an overdue health checkup and had some mammogram/ultrasound tests done. Nothing alarming, I assure you. Just a checkup.
My mom died of breast cancer so it's safer than not to have yearly checkups done for this kind of thing. The last check was waaaay back in 2016 and was rightfully told off by the doc to not skip future tests anymore.
That being said, if your family has any medical history with cancer, do have yourself checked. It's pretty sneaky and even now, I'm a little apprehensive about it.
P.S.
The pic is of a sculpture I saw on the way to the hospital. It was my first time seeing it. On further research, I found out it was by Filipino-American public artist, Jefre Manuel Figueras, aka JEFRË. It's a part of his series aptly named, 'Baks Series.'
This particular piece in the image is called, 'Time Sculpture.' It's said to hopefully remind people about the value of time. I don't know if it's ironic but this particular road can get heavily congested with really bad traffic. So, to see a sculpture there reminding people of the importance of time seems like very bleak humor.

Long day at work today. Had a surprise client who, frustratingly, was actually my uncle 😅 Sometimes, relatives are the toughest critics. Good thing he was in a good mood 🎉
That aside...hello again, Noise! Been a loooong time since I last posted. Just got the email about the tranfer to the app and decided to jump in. How are you all today! <- consider this a rhetorical question for now coz I haven't followed anybody yet. Haha

Inching Towards the end of 2021...
Today I had errands to run. Usually, I do this with my brother. However, he'd been sick for the past few days and is now on the road to recovery. I didn't want him to make the effort of going out and risk having him exhaust himself back to sickness.
Everything had been going well so far. That plummeted soon enough. I came across a few young adults smoking on the sidewalk I had to pass through. Side note, I'm asthmatic. Chronically so. Just a little whiff of that nicotine smoke had me hyperventilating behind my two-layered mask meant to keep me safe from COVID.
Holy freaking hell.
Bad enough that I had bags of heavy load plus a mini stroller to push of stuff I bought but then these smokers had to add to my ever growing anxiety. I suppose it was wrong of me not to bring my inhaler for a supposedly 15 minute errand but I still felt so frustrated with the predicament.
That was how a 15 minute errand turned to a quarter of an hour outside as I had to find a well ventilated area far away from human traffic as well as vehicles spewing whatever toxic stuff that could aggravate my asthma. What an afternoon.
Setting aside that rant, I feel it a bit ridiculous to post something like this as a first entry here at #ReadCash. I guess my frustration was mounting and I just felt so compelled to write. One of those days, you know?
2021 is creeping to a close and, surprisingly, this kind of happening is a yearly occurrence this time of year. Sickness, stress, mounting frustrations, and the ever present anxiety. It's almost a comfort to find that part of my life being consistent in the midst of this pandemic.
Talk about silver lining.
Another positive thing is that tomorrow is a holiday. I get to sleep in! Small adult pleasures to look forward to. For now though, I'm still at work, currently doing overtime. I feel a little rebellious dance coming up as I play truant writing this.
Insert awkward dancing here. Imaginary of course because I'm not alone in the office at the moment.
I realize this isn't a very lengthy entry but I suddenly feel a sense of pressure as I recall my essay days back in college. How to end this article? If all else fails, let me just default to a quote from one of my favorite movies.
*"In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight."* - Truman Burbank
Also, if you read this far, thanks and I hope you have a spanking good day!
