Xin Nian Hao, everyone! 🎆🥂 I woke up with a headache this morning, which you may have guessed why. Hahaha! Thankfully, mom made Longjing tea for me while dad and I talked on the porch. Tea time indeed. 🤣 Grandma chastised me and my sister for getting our hair wet in the shower. She said that the good fortune would wash away. However, the opposite happened, as a plethora of angpao arrived this morning. Sorry, Amah. 🤣 Chika laaaang! 😊 How did you spend New Year's Eve?

I Became a Princess Overnight My mother and I were living happily in Dunwiddie, a village beneath Enchantia's royal castle, when the king unexpectedly summoned my mother because of the shoes he had purchased from our shoe shop. The king and my mother fell in love at first sight, and the king immediately proposed to my mother, making her queen; theoretically speaking, I had suddenly become a princess. I thought it would be simple to be a princess: just walk well, wave to…

KemiGranger's First Coffee Dose in 2022 ☕ Pwedeng umiyak? 😭 Sobrang na-miss ko toooo! Promise di na ko makikipag-deal. Whahahah! But, of course, I won't drink too much. Moderate na lang. Sa'yo nalang magpa-palpitate. Chareng! Good evening, fellas! 💛 I'm gonna pack my things again and head back to the city. If I could stay here a little longer, I would. Hello, reality! What a tragic name. 😥

📚 SHORTIES #3 Song Inspo: Enchanted by Taylor Swift The moon is high, as is my hope to see you tonight. I don't mind braving the wintery evening breeze, my shivering palms, and my trembling body just to see your perfectly sculpted face. Your eyes, that are curtained by black lashes like the cover of a book with a promising story of royalty, reminding me of a little kid in a dark forest with so many secrets, fear of ignorance, and being unloved. Your smile, my favorite, is…

☕💭 I'm not an Espresso that'll wake you, I'm a Barista, I'm here to help you. I will serve you anything; everything your heart desires, Is it a Latte? Americano? Cappuccino? or Café au Lait? Oh, just sweet and iced? I think it's nice. Just ask for a cup, I'll be right up! Good morning, fellas 😴 This misty morning sends my thoughts off into space. I don't have anything to do in the office today, so I'll just sit here and wait for them to ask me to do something. ©️KemiGranger…

📚 SHORTIES #4 Song Inspo: I Quit Drinking by Kelsea Ballerini ft. LANY I used to be the guy of every party, tanked up and legless, dancing till the sun came up, waking up in the afternoon and getting ready for another party like Gatsby every night, until one night I saw this innocent damsel in the corner of the bar. A moon surrounded by a hundred stars. A book that could tickle your interest. An ice cream cup next to the bottles of ale and wine. A sanctuary in the midst of…

📍Office ft. Dirty mirror Life isn't perfect but your outfit can be. 😊 Wearin' my dad's hoodie. Sooo comfy. Sooo cozy. Sooo boyish? Haha. Vibin' my mood booster playlist and sipping a cup of coffee while zoning out (as always). Simple things that made me feel at ease every morning. 😌 Good morning. Keep safe! Enjoy your breakfast you guys! 💛

☕💭 Hitting a Lot of Birds with One Stone How can there be pain in a place with there is so much joy? It's still puzzling how the wintering birds in the tree were abruptly struck by a rock from which we don't know where. They thought the tree they were resting on was a safe haven, but it was veiled in horror, it was like a horrible sorceress slowly afflicting the birds and causing them to break into pieces. Carrying the burden of guilt everyday as if I'm the one who lures the…

My mom is a keen observer. Nobody knows, not even my parents, that I always balance my tastes. Maybe it's one of my "Hidden Rare Cards", but I'm eager to show you this card and tell you about how my mom amazed me. When I eat or drink something sweet, I take a pinch of salt for my tongue to balance it out, and when I eat or drink something bitter, I eat something sweet. Hey, I'm not weird. I'm one of the rare ones. Hahaha! I was joyfully seated in the tatami chair on New…

Good morning! Just woke up after dozing off while binge watching Spongebob SquarePants and Mr. Bean Animated Series. Hahaha! Don't mind me, I'm such a baby when I'm sick. My head and right eye hurt so much. 🤯 I have strong teeth but extremely sensitive gums. I only use soft bristle toothbrushes, but I had no choice but to use a hard one yesterday, so that's why. How's your weekend going?

For a "Zing" Happens Once In Your Life Hello, my name is Mavis! My father called me Mavy-wavy, Sweet Fang, Sweet Little Blood Orange, and a variety of other names, but you can call me 'Yours'. I mean, just Mavis. I'm 118 years old. You got that right, 118. Did I mention I'm a vampire? No? Now you're fully aware. After many years of patiently waiting, my father finally allowed me to leave the castle and explore the world outside. I thought I'd enjoy it, but my father is…

MY HAPPY SWEET TOOTH. 🤤💛 Mavy-wavy hurty gummy received another wonderful but sinfully cursed gift today. I can't stop myself. It's one of my favorites, you see. 🥺 Just a single bite, I promise. 🤤 Well, I'm trying not to think about what's going to happen next; what matters is right now. It's much easier to be concerned about problems you're currently experiencing than problems you expect to face in the near future. Ba-ba-blah. Lazy afternoon, fellas. 😴

☕💭 Anxiety is like stepping into a crowded airport. You never know what people will think if your trolley accidentally hits them. Uncertainty about whether your luggage is safe after you surrendered it to the conveyor belt. Confounded by notifications on the screen, as if you were deciphering codes. And looking at the arrow on the map as if it were a tombstone indicating that you will be buried there. So many thoughts. It feels like the light bulb above my head is about to…
@KemiGranger
☕💭 It's fascinating to see how each of us shares how our days are going and what our interests are. Spending only a few weeks or months traversing each other's psychological entryways. Exchange some of your hidden secrets before you know where they come from, what they do for a living, when their birthdays are, or how many siblings they have. That made me think that it's better to open up some of your bothersome thoughts to someone we don't know than to open up to someone we…

I AM AN OAK Do you remember? It was an autumn afternoon, and the entire garden was covered in dried leaves from a big tree that seemed to have lost its life owing to the storms it had been through, and had lost its auxin, causing the branches and leaves to lose their bond and drift away in the wind. The leaves fall off slowly, as if it's just waiting to be cut down with an ax since no one has ever been able to bring the tree back to life. But then you showed up. I naively…

📍Capitol Commons, PSG Grocery run x Self date x Nakapambahay Me: Hindi porke malapit bahay mo dito, lalabas ka na na nakapambahay. Also me: First of all, wala kang pake. 🤣 Sometimes you have to date yourself out in order to be free of the things that suffocate you, to be able to love and care for yourself more in order to care for others. You can't pour from an empty cup, Gorgeous. Remember that. 💛

Ngiting may incentive. 🤣 Vampire talaga ako in real life, yaan n'yo na. Hindi na kumikita yung Hotel Transylvania ni Daddy Drac eh, kailangan ko na mag-work. Hahaha! Good morning, fellas! 2 meetings done! 2 more to go. Mag o-off cam saglit pag nagugutom. Haay, Wednesday. How's your Wednesday pala? 😊
@KemiGranger
DECLUTTERING I went to a bonfire last night. Burning all the memories of the past. Letters, photographs, and presents that seem to have a spilled coffee stain and a bit of spider's web due to their old age. For the last time, I'm reminiscing about my past because maybe it's time to let it all go. I kept walking through the past, and the future had no room for me because of the clutter I kept carrying. It's hard for me to do this. I'm a sentimental person, but I have to.…

NIGHTMARE 🌫🌬 I took a nap after eating my lunch, and then this strange thing happened. I had a dream. In fact, it was a nightmare. I gave birth to a child who's exactly like me. Whahaahha! And I've noticed that she's becoming more and more like me as she gets older. We have the same eyes, nose, lips, xiaolongbao cheeks and the forehead!! Like... a miniature version of myself. Her demeanor, the way she thinks, speaks, eats, laughs, smiles, and giggles, her mannerisms, and she…

KŌHee ☕ I was staring into space while sipping coffee and listening to LANY's Getaway when our office intercom rang, breaking the silence. It's the security guard in the lobby. They asked me to go downstairs because there was a package for me. I'm confused because, as far as I remember, I haven't checked out anything from my online cart in the last couple of weeks, which is something I should be proud of. Lol. My aunt sent the package, and I was overjoyed when I opened it.…

Letter No. 17 Dear YOU, Hello, I hope this letter finds you well. It took me weeks to write you a letter again. My mental health is at stake these days, so I need to take a break from writing letters. It's difficult to encourage someone when you yourself are in need of encouragement. Yesterday, I binge-watched Darling in the Franxx. An anime series. And Klaxosaurs Princess' words smacked me square in the face. "We believed that by isolating ourselves, discarding connections,…

EXPLORING THE CORE AGAIN I came face to face with my inner child the other day. The kid who was tucked away deep within the core. As usual, she is covered in blood and bruises from her previous battles. She appears to be dreadful, tired, alone and helpless. I'm guessing she also hit her head so hard that she forgot what made her happy. She may have become paralyzed as a result of this. She can't move her hands to do what she loves or her feet to go where she wants to go. She…

THE RIVER Yesterday, I was out fishing in the river. I'm hoping to catch a large fish for dinner. My rod suddenly became heavy, as if something under the water wanted to play thug of war with me. I tried to pull the rod as hard as I could, but it dragged me into the water. As the water flows over me, I scream for help, but no one is there that time. In the middle of the river, I noticed a large rock. The water flow was so strong that day. I held on tight even though I had no…

CLOUDED VISION I'm spacing out again this fine morning with a cup of coffee in my left hand and staring at my cookies in my right for almost an hour. Haha! When my thoughts returned to reality, I noticed that my vision was a little blurrier than usual. I was about to wipe my eyes and search for my glasses when I realized I was already wearing one. Hmm. I guess I should make an appointment with my optometrist next week. Malabo na lahat eh, future nalang natin ang malinaw. 😏…

If only this series had a season two. I can't help but smile. Hehe. It's like I'm watching all of my different personalities on one screen. Hahaha!

Let's see who comes out on top. 😅 Good morning, fellaaaas! 💓

I really miss everyone. I miss my mom's cooking, dad's stories, squabbling with my sis. Having fun with our cat(s). My Sunday duties. My friends. Vacations. The salt air. That person. This person. Myself. Perhaps the only constant in this world is change, and we must embrace it for us to keep moving. 🙃 Just flexing my new wallpaper tho. 😄

JUST A QUICK CHIKA I went to NBS yesterday to get some art supplies, such as a sketchbook, coloring books, brushes, pastels, acrylic paints, a rim of bondpaper, and other stuff. When I get home, of course, I'm excited to unpack everything from the paperbag. It was only then that I realized I had bought newsprint instead of bondpaper. Huhu sabaw. 😭 Maybe I'm just used to buying it along with my art stuffs for my manuscripts. I'm relieved I only took one rim. Now I don't know…

MORNING THOUGHTS (Or should I say Sabaw Thoughts) Maybe witches have black cats instead of white because if they had white cats, white cat hair would be all over their clothes. 🤔 lol. That's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this photo. Although this cute baby Lilo-chan is not a cat, but Alybaba is a wizard. (And that's a secret 😂) Oh, I'd want to greet this wonderful person bc it's her special day todaaay. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @alykavinsky! Have a blast. Bawal…

Morning Disaster 🤯 This morning as I was heading to work, I felt something odd. When I checked the tires, I noticed that my rear tire was flat. I was late for work and had an 8:00 a.m. meeting. Fortunately, my dad taught me how to change tires. I'm irritated, but I keep my temper. I drove again after it was fixed, but traffic welcomed me with warm red lights and I had no choice but to keep up with the flow of traffic. Today isn't a good morning for me, but it's also not a…

"My dream is to make 100 friends." — Shouko Komi, Komi Can't Communicate I'm currently watching this light novel anime series on Netflix, and it's a lot of fun to watch. You can see the characters' awkwardness as well as how they might behave in certain situations. 🤣 Komi, the main character, suffers from severe social anxiety and communication issues, rendering her generally unable to communicate with others. She can only communicate by writing and pointing to words. Will…

Listening to your songs again. 🎧 Some are modern, while others are vintage. Some are warm, while others are cold. I had no idea songs had temperatures too until you came in and painted the wall with a dazzling hues. I've heard your sweet melodies too. It makes me giggle, thrilled, and, most of the time, think of us two. Dancing above the clouds, gliding through rainbows on our unicorns, relaxed and unbothered about what comes after. I know that this song will come to an end.…

31st 😲 I had no idea how quickly the day had passed and that it was already the 31st of January. We are not required to report to work tomorrow due to Chinese New Year. Yaay, it's a day off! Because of the pandemic, I've been unable to come home for Chinese New Year to enjoy and participate in our family tradition for several years. It's recently become much more restrictive there, and my IATF ID might not work at checkpoints, so I'll celebrate virtually with my family again…

Gong Xi Fa Cai 🐯✨ Kakatulog ko lang and this fireworks show woke me up around 12:00 midnight. Ate Sam had prepared some food for the celebration, so kakain muna bago matulog ulit. Since it is Chinese New Year today, I'd like to share some interesting facts about this celebration (as my Chinese grandfather told me when I was a kid). We celebrate the New Year every 1st day of January, but Chinese New Year is different, it isn't on the same day every year. We usually celebrate…
