It's international coffee daaayyy!!! And as such, there's already 2 jars of coffee steeping in the fridge. Draining time would be around the afternoon so I dunno if we'll have coffee this morning but hey, there's a lot of coffee discounts in stores in accordance to the event so I might check that out πππ
@Oatmeal-monster in October 2021
It's #Inktober and #CrytOCtoberand generally artist month and I swear, I'm itching to draw something but I still need to review stuffπππ board exam, begooonneee My ink bottles and brushes are already for the month π
Currently reviewing with my dog π€£ I want her to be smart too so she can break a world record π Okno, actually I just like using her as a pillow while I study. It's pretty calming UwU
It was my first time in an SnR store (an American branded store) and I have never seen such a huge grocery store before. Even the big supermarkets seem smaller in comparison to that. Or maybe it's because the items are also pretty huge, which was why everything seemed big? Anyways, it was dizzying to navigate through it but I legit only wanted to get muffins and pastries from there π π π and now there's 2 boxes of muffins in the fridge and I am in love with the blueberry one
Okay, I'm slowly getting a pace here while I have my review sched. Anyways, since I usually write about chemistry in everyday objects, why not write about chemistry in relation to life this time? Cheesy as it sounds, chemistry isn't all computation and explosions, with a change of perspective, you'll see that atoms and molecules are like us people. Anyways, this is all I can share for tonight. I need to get to sleep cuz mock boards tomorrowβ¦
Ahh yes, mock exams but with coffee and giant muffin this time UwU π I'm off to answer another set of 200 questions. Welp, good luck to me and us chemistry board takers
I think... After these 200 questions partnered with this 8 hour extra lecture class... I'm gonna draw ;;-;; I'm gonna celebrate a bit of #Artober by making a spook and gore fest to add to my juungle listing ;;-;; I have gore and vampire lined up on my list already
Currently questioning why I still listen to my Alma mater's board review session while taking their quizzes and while answering my review school's mock board examination How is my brain coping up πππ but I'm actually answering right I need a really long nap after this though
My friend sent me a cute #Spooktober prompt the #Artober β€οΈI kinda wanna do this because my love for gore is strong π Let's see if I can pull anything off when I'm so busy πππ 30 minutes till the cram class ends and I'm so ready for sleep
I'm not sure how this happened but there was a sleeping dog on the foot of my bed, he was hugging my totoro when I woke up π€¦π€¦π€¦ I have no idea which one of them put him on my bed this time
#Spooktober has barely started for me ;;n;; I want to join the art challenges too ππππ For now, I'm gonna finish this 300 itemed questionnaire. I have 200 more to go ;;-;; then I'll nap and then I'll try to drawwww I don't like not bring able to draw at least one a week. I only got to sketch cuz I have an hour break from this mock exam. For day 3... I have no idea what to draw for wires but day 4 is zombie and I think I might just draw myself cuz I'm basically zombified nowβ¦
OMG I FINALLY FINISHED THIS ONE AFTER DUMPING IT IN MY WIPS FOR MONTHS I used this to practice with layers tbh now I have so many versions of it. I actually love the combined color version cuz it makes it look more dope. And now that I'm done with this, I can do my pumpkin monster. Hopefully, I can finish that too so I can mint it along with this variety of glowing skulls XD #Spooktober Day 1: Skulls - Donneeeeβ
Can I finish this? I don't think so XD I'm getting sleepy again and I need to wake up early again to do the food buying and menu planning. This isn't bad progress with just 1.5 hours of drawing time. I'm kinda learning how to give backgrounds now since I usually do very minimalist backgrounds XD This one needs autumn vibes
Hello to a few new listings on the juungle OwO Sadly I couldn't finish my pumpkin monster on time. That's only on the first layer of shading and I was hella busy with food prep and minting today ;;n;; Anyways, I really did milk out that original black and white drawing and I came out with 7 really good glow art for it so now I roughly have 650 pieces on my listing UwU I'm pretty proud that I see my own work on the main page now so my revolutionary step is working
Although it's only the 4th day of October... I've come to accept that I might not catch up to the spooktober prompts I'm following because life makes me busy and I can only draw for like 1-3 hours at night ;;-;; oh well, I can always finish it up on November and still try to work on stuff when I have the free time and extra energy for it Day 2: pumpkin is ongoing at 40% completion XD it's still something though
Rainy Tuesday, all my pets are sleeping in their cozy spots. Puff on the other hand, he's sleeping on the window sill.. yesterday he was sleeping on the table but it made mom made so now he can only stay there
I now have 2 permanent plants in my plants vs. undead account UwU hopefully I can get a few more before the next huge game update on the 20th. MORE SEED CUTIE As the trend in social media goes π but seriously, I have they actually drop seeds cuz it would be great help. I'll just figure out how to get more land when the time comes
Although vampires are still on the 9th day of this prompt I'm following... I really wanted to do something red and sensual π My brain just can't part with the idea that vampire fangs are so seductive XD And I don't know but red seems to be a need for my eyes every now and then now else it just feels off for me to draw something that lacks the color
Trying out a media inspired prompt. My source of inspiration this time? Check this out so you can see for yourself XD https://read.cash/@Hanzell/eating-a-lollipop-3cce655e It's kind of misleading but oh well, stories are more fun that way
We recently got bottles from this store we tried out and my sisters taught it was a good idea to make the coffee in there. It was unexpected to see the process come out so pretty though
I don't get my dogs sometimes πππ Just yesterday, they were pestering me to remove my chair from the carpet mat so they can sleep there. But when I added another carpet mat, they sleep on the floor like this π€¦ dogs, please learn to speak so I know what you want-
I wonder why our board exams here couldn't be like this instead ;;n;; I mean, 100 questions per subject is just ridiculous cuz you'll never find out how that person will function in a lab. But no, we get stuck with written exams with no practical assessments whatsoever. So now, I'm going to be using the American Chemistry Society (ACS) olympiad questions as review materials because I'm almost done with the GRE questionnaires I'm going through
Okay my sketching time is over and so is my coffee time ;;-;; it's time to get back to the mountain of questionnaires I have to go through ;;-;; I'm just hoping that I make progress with all these questions
Okay this is taking way longer than what I had hoped for but hey, with only an hour or two of free time a day, this is the best I can do for now. It kinda looks cartoon-ish now OnO When I'm free again, I'm definitely going to draw a lot
It's been a while since I've shown off my plants and omg my basil is growing so big now! In maybe a month or so, I can start harvesting some leaves to use in fresh pasta! And I just got mint seeds so when that gets here, I'm planting those asap UwU I miss fresh mint in my lime soda
Just going with a quick prompt idea while I'm taking a study break. I was supposed to write yesterday XD but I wanted to draw so I had to prioritize drawing else my hands won't be at rest https://read.cash/@Hanzell/white-silence-86f43c84
Tell me you're a nerd without telling me you're a nerd π€£π€£π€£y periodic table poster arrived and I am hella excited to finally stick my notes of periodic trends on it It's something to read or to just look at when I just woke up or before I go to sleep π€£π€£π€£ I also got my dogs treats and they love it so much, now they keep following me wherever I go OnO
The dogs love their new treats π€£π€£π€£ I actually bought these treats cuz they were on sale in shopee but now I think I might have to buy these regularly because the dogs really love it. They come running when I shake the treat canister and they chase after me when I need to hide the treats again
Most girls: puts up pictures and posters of themselves, celebrities and boybands on their walls Me: slowly putting up my notes on my wall so I have something to look at before I go to bed --- Ahh yes, give me a few more days and my wall will look like a mini chemist exhibit β€οΈ I'm just really happy with my wall right now cuz it's slowly getting to how I want it to look like UwU
Just thought to reward myself a bit since I need something sweet after a while of no sweets. Plus my brain is heavily reliant on sugar since I'm using my brain too much during these review classes
Just minutes apart. That was all it took for this transition to take place UwU Yes, I'm back on the roof because my brain got over saturated with the 9 hours cram review set up by my review school. I still have 3 more days of cram classes because there's still the cram classes from my Alma mater. I'll worry about those another time. For now, let me enjoy the view from my roof
Just a bit more and I'm almost done with this one ;;w;; then back to pumpkin monster ;;w;; Also tried a bit of self and juungle promotion on ig and I swear, these bots or fake accounts that keep telling me to dm it to some account for promotion. Is it simply because they get commission payment from it? It's pretty irritating though
This makes me proud ;;w;; I finally finished it omg! It looks pretty good and is on the same level as the lollipop drawing ;;w;; Day of spooktober, done! I should back track on the rest when I have the energy to later after all my classes ;;-;;
Sebastian is mad at me today because I've been busy the whole day π€£π€£π€£ So now he won't notice me and won't even look at me unless I give him treats π€£ I'm sorry, baby. Mommy's busy with reviews ;;-;; I'll give you time and attention when this is all over. Just 2 more weeks
Begging Sebastian is the cutest π€£π€£π€£ he gives me that pout and those bright eyes whenever I show him the treat box And as of today, the treats are now called dogejuana (a play on marijuana) because of how addicted the dogs are to it. I don't regret getting them treats but I think they're getting spoiled by it π€£π€£π€£
It's a sweets filled day today since it's the youngest sister's birthday and sweets basically give her life π€£π€£π€£ for now we have donuts. There's still cakes from me and who knows what else the fam has planned for her
Birthday cakes! A birthday is never complete without cake βΊοΈ This is my birthday gift to the youngest sister and we already finished the strawberry shortcake one. The chocolate dream cake and black velvet will be for another time UwU
My paper order arrived today and I did not expect that it would be as big as my blanket ;;-;; so now I'm trying to quarter everything because I don't need such huge paper on my wall πππ
The garage cafe is really coming along nicely. We only need a few chairs, tables and a fixed menu before we can try to set up this small business. I hope we can this 2021
Never expected I'd ever need to do this again but here I am, trying to make posters of metabolic pathways. Tomorrow I'll do reaction mechanisms then maybe for the remaining days of the week, I'll write down all the graphs I need for analytical chemistry, physical chemistry and inorganic chemistry ;;-;;
I have a bit of free time to sketch again ;;w;; As usual, it's so red but I'm trying something with the background and it's kind of a lighting study for me since the lighting for the reference is pretty off. Good luck with finishing this XD I hope I do Now I hope the inspiration fairy visits me in my dreams because I also need to write on read soon too XD
Okay I'm sure I'm pretty late to the news cuz it was announced on the 11th but the planetarium in manila closed down ;;-;; Although in the article, they did state that they have plans to build a better planetarium but I'm sure I'm gonna miss this place since it's a place I used to go with my friends whenever time allows
How to be as chill as my dogs π€ Would be nice to be a dog too so I don't have to take the boards πππ I'd just act cute for treats and sleep all day But oh well, at least I have cuties to cuddle when I need a brain break
Okie I'm making a bit of progress on this ;;w;; let's see when I'll finish it this time. This is a self reward for being able to finish the 2 exam books and for finishing the cram classes from my alma mater :") As to when I'll write again... maybe when I have a more creative brain again ;;n;;
The thing with being a night owl at my house is that around 11-1am, my younger sisters start looking for food. And I end up getting dragged into their midnight snacking habits XD so hello potato crisps and a progress shot of my red ghost(?) girl who got trapped. But I have yet to draw the bars that are restraining her
I've been so preoccupied today ;;-;; the exam place I'm assigned to is out, a few hundred more questionnaires came out for me to answer while waiting for judgement day. Idk I think my review school is out to kill me but at least I have doggo stress relievers else I'd be losing my mind right about now. Look at chappo enjoying the scratchiesβ€οΈ
I'm alive agaaaiiinnnn It's been so long since there was any good coffee at home since we ran out of coffee beans and the new beans we planned to try have yet to arrive. I can survive the afternoon cram class session now UwU
Puff has really started getting comfy at home UwU He's getting inside the house more often but he still mostly stays on the window sill so I left him a little carpet there to sleep on so he stays warm since it has been getting colder Me on the other hand, is thinking of backpacking after boards cuz I've been dying to go to the beach :""(
After a bit of an absence from the platform, I'm back with another short story! https://read.cash/@Hanzell/all-that-was-left-503898af These intense review sessions really take up way too much of my brain cells but hopefully, I can keep writing ;;-;; I need diversions from stress
I don't think I can get a fourth plant before the cloning on the 20th but hey, 3 permanent plants aren't so bad when it hasn't been so long since I started with the game. They're all pretty common though. I wish one of these plants would seed drop though cuz apparently 'SEED CUTIE" isn't working for me
I wonder if you guys know this but this is called nilupak here. It's a comfort food that's made of root crops. I'm not sure if all root crops can be turned to nilupak but this one is a combination of purple yam and sweet potato I've tried other variations of this where it has banana in it. It's pretty good too UwU
My coffee is here ;;w;; My sisters and I now have the goal of trying out all the coffee bean variations from this one shop because they have really good beans. This time we have a hazelnut sampler, which is also one of the variety I wanted to try out the most!
Well it's pretty much been food prep day for me π I'm exhausted from having to prepare food for the entire week but oh well. It cuts down on the time I need to actually prepare them. I also made more chocolate puffs cuz why not UwU the chocolate filling was so melty and I'm honestly hoping it lasts until tomorrow so I have a snack
https://read.cash/@Hanzell/artober-is-almost-done-5520471e This is basically just random ramblings and a bit of self promotion but mostly ramblings since I'm dying to draw but my other priorities take up my time these days
YA GIRL HAS PROPER COFFEE AGAIN!!!!!!! Ahh yes, I really missed the brews we make at home :"" the coffee bean shortage really made having brain cells and life force a struggle :""( but now I'm alive and kicking!!! It's time to get back to reviewing! Exams are a week away and I'm definitely not ready for this but that's what cramming is for π€£π€£π€£
80+ tabs of notifs from read.cash, 8 days til the board exam, I still have to go through 2,000 question items my review school sent to me ;;-;; This board exam is making my life a hell ;;-;; ahhhhh send brain cells and maybe computing powers cuz my brain isn't coping up anymore
Currently back on the roof since I'm excused from kitchen duties this week so I can focus more on my exams. Anyways, the full moon is so close cuz I see la Luna so brightly recently UwU
πππππ I'm happy, my sisters got me food supply for the intense board reviews I'm doing now I get hungry a lot whenever I review so I really appreciate this. I just hope it'll last the whole week though since there's still 8 days to go before the big day
I'm pretty proud of this ;;w;; someone bought the souls I've listed in juungle!!!!! To whoever you/you people are, thank you!!! I really appreciate this ;;w;; after boards, I definitely need to get my hands on my drawing tablet again and I definitely need to start adding more stuff to my listing again!
Before I go back to studying, lemme just put this up because my electron cash wallet is finally cooperating with me and I finally got the chance to put up my sexy vampire lips in the juungle! https://www.juungle.net/share/39e6cbb7e002d24c5ca9a392383adc5c9ea255a195f115678fe91852f72cb788 There are now 48 items in my listings and you can bet that when I finally have free time, I am definitely adding more *^* with that being said, I'll see you guys again later after review ;;-;;
I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee. I'm pretty sure I'll have really bad caffeine withdrawal by the time I'm done with these exams but hey, my average is getting better because of this πππ ahh yes, coffee does revive brain cells Okno, actually I consult with my old college prof every time I finish these questionnaires. I mostly ask the ones I'm wrong in but at least, I know I retain the information cuz of improving scores UwU
I'm happy my college roomy reviews with me, else I would be so brain dead right about now XD Since last week, this became a tutoring session where I would teach her most of the concept based questions while she would help me with the computational ones since I really struggle with that. Hopefully we both do okay in the boards since we really aim to work together again
My juungle account is so alive these days πππ thank you to whoever's been looking through my collection, I really appreciate it! Now I'm really motivated to get back to self promotion and to get back into art as soon as I have freedom again πππ ahhh thank youuu
Me staring at the remaining pile of questionnaires to practice on ππππ Can I really finish all of these??? It's still like 1800+ questions πππ Does this call for more caffeine in my system? Maybe? But I need to keep thinking so my anxiety doesn't get to me π€£
The professor that's teaching me and my college roomy says we study too much XD and told us we need a break too so hello 30 minutes detail up before I went back to answering the questionnaires XD I want to finish this piece soon tho so I can put it up on juungle too. Add it to my extremely red collection Yeah, right now I have no chill at all and I think our prof understands that since he took the boards before too.
So I gave one of Victoria's baby to my college roomy 2 years ago. Now he's fully grown and I think he'll be a chemist too because he's studying with us for boards π€£π€£π€£ Now we're just starting a trend by sharing the study doggos to pass the boards π€£π€£π€£ so here's cute study doggos for you
I just finished my swab test UwU now I just need the results then I can say that I've completed all the requirements for the board exam. My only problem now is if I'm mentally okay to take the boards π€£π€£π€£ Anyways, it's 63 days before Christmas! The countdown has begun and I do not have not started planning my Christmas gifts yet. How about you guys?
The weirdest thing happened today. A stranger lady approached me and told me I was pretty Then here's me just thinking.... Is she talking to me????? To cut the story. I ended up teaching her crypto basics while she asked for my company while she was having coffee then I got free coffee (Starbucks) and this beauty soap she told me to use and I am just confused af cuz idk how these turn of events happened ;;-;; I just wanted coffee in the first place
I'm positive Christmas is in the air when I see people starting to sell chestnuts or castaΓ±as in malls or along the road! But I'm not ready to celebrate Christmas yet, there's still Halloweennnnn And I'm still up for binge watching horror movies
My mom brought home a plant for me to take care of UwU it's called katakataka I'm pretty sure it's an herbal plant too but what's cool about this plant is that it's self propagating Little sprouts grow from the end of the leaves and that becomes a new plant. It's pretty cool OwO
It's a bit boring but this is what I've been up to these days besides being cooped up in my room π https://read.cash/@Hanzell/where-have-i-been-60e87f0d I'm pretty sure it sums up a majority of my activity but you guys here on noise probably already know what I've been up to since I'm around here more
*sad puppy noises while staring at all the WIPs I have* There's after boards π’π’π’ for now, I should focus cuz that's on Wednesday and idk what I still need to do to internally ready myself for a board exam. I'm gonna have a cram session with one of my old profs and college roomy tho since we need all the help we can get
Sebastian is so cute π€£π€£π€£ he was playing with these paper shreds earlier and at some point, he just got tangled up in them. I think he gave up trying to escape when he saw me cuz he knows I'll untangle him from the mess π€£π€£π€£
So my sister and dad opened 2 sacks of books in the garage and I was really hoping for more Stephen king BUT WHEN I SAW TOLKIEN, I WAS SO TEMPTED SO I TOOK THOSE BACK WITH ME OWO I also found the first book to this seeker series I used to see in book shops. Now I gotta look for the other books before I can start on this one. And maybe the other Tolkien books ;;-;; but that's okay ;;w;; I have the free time after boards to go book hunting β€οΈ
I'm pretty sure some of you know that I play stardew Valley because I find it so calming and cuz the storyline is cute! But I recently found out the developer is making a new game and now I'm curious af and I really want to play this!!!!! Haunted chocolatier looks like it'll be more suspenseful than stardew :") but they say it might be a sequel to the story :"" idk but I'm definitely playing this soon!!!!!
I was on the 2nd test bank booklet and I legit had to stop in my tracks when my college roomy said we should rent a hotel room for the board exam date so we have peace of mind and maybe more study time. I was pretty okay with it But the realization finally sank in and now I'm kinda panicking internally cuz I have no idea what I should be packing that will be good for 2 days π I can only think: exam clothes, exam folder Food: I have no idea but the place has a kitchen ;;-;;β¦
I don't think Sebastian approves of me going away for a few days because he's been clinging nonstop since I started packing and he's been barking and crying so I'm pretty sure he knows what I'm planning to do. I have him on my lap now and he's basically calmed down but he still won't stop staring and giving me puppy eyes. I need to give him the bog dog talk again π€¦π€¦π€¦
Okay so I think(?) I'm packed and kind of ready to go to the hotel tomorrow morning I have my documents and my exam taking necessities. Clothes, meds, wallet and IDs I'll take care of food tomorrow... I think this will last me 3 days. I hope this board exam won't be so brain cell consuming ;;-;; cuz I'm already anxious enough as it is
The hotel we got isn't so bad! Pretty good for its price too. The room is spacious too and we have separate beds. My bed is still as messy as my bed is at home but hey, we're studying at least
My regrets for the day: I should have looked for a way to fit my coffee jar in my bag because it's been so long since I last bought bottled coffee. My taste buds got surprised with how overly sweet and watered down these instant coffee bottles are
I just saw the stats in the chemistry group in my country and I'm honestly surprised because there's only 300+ people that will be taking the chemistry board exam. Just wow at this exam taker population because I was honestly expecting more ππππ Anyways good luck to us board takers
I haven't seen the sunrise in so longggg So yeah, this is the view from the room we're staying in and right now, we're preparing to go to the exam hall since the assembly time is 6am and I have no idea why it's that early π€π€π€
So I'm back after who knows how many hours of taking those awful exams ;;-;; I cri, I ran out of brains ;;-;; but I'm pretty happy because a lot of the questions from the test banks I used were also there so I basically count them as bonus questions. Right now I'm waiting for my roomy in the exam hall's gardens and I'm also eating sweets since my brain really needs it :""
Who knew the board exams would be the only reason I'd go to church πππ (I'm agnostic, sorry) But idk my entire batch (those who took the boards with me. We were only 12 people) decided that we need to offer prayers and to light up candles to manifest our wishes of passing. So here I am After that, same old habits. Mcdo coffee with the gang and just talking about anything besides the exam Anyways, one more day and we're done. Won't see them again for a while
Day 2 of boards and day 2 of being overly reliant on fast food because I didn't believe them when they said me and my roomy will barely find the time nor the energy to actually feed ourselves while the exams are still ongoing. I feel really unhealthy
Second day of lighting candles in churches I've never been to. So this is the church of Saint Sebastian. yesterday we were at Saint Jude's church In the Philippines, it's believed that you can make a wish when you visit a church for the first time so that's what me and my college roomy did for the past few days
Enjoying the first day of freedom be like: Ahh yess!!! I don't need to study anymore ππ I finally got to sleep in peace and I can finally cuddle with my bed I'll have to go out again by 1-ish though since my friend and I have a spa day to get rid of the stress from boards. I never imagined I'd go to a spa tbh since I hate strangers touching me so much
Just got back from the spa place and look who greeted meeeee Ahh yes, he looks so excited to see me! Anyways, the spa thing wasn't so bad. They put me in this massage cocoon since I hate physical contact π€£ and it's kind of like a level uped massage chair but I fell asleep in that. Then we got a facial treatment and now I have this facial scrub that I need to use twice a month for 2 months
Been a while since I woke up to exercise and not to study ;;w;; Though I kind of feel bad because after exercising, I'm eating instant noodles but oh well. The fact that it's spicy and the fact that I have kimchi kind of compensates for the noodles π π π I need to start meal planning again cuz I need to get rid of all the excess weight I gained while I was reviewing ;;-;; that was 6kgs of additional fat when I checked my weight yesterday. From 55 to 61kgs real quick
I was supposed to be drawing today but by noon, my old high school friends visited my house and we ended up drinking π€£ also, I noticed that baste is kind of injured. I have no idea where it came from as he was fine just yesterday Right now, his left hind leg is bad and he keeps crying because of that
Since @sunshineestella posted the other pic, imma post this one πππ Halloween ghost shoot since there's no Halloween parties again this year It's basically just us doing hot girl sh*t πππ Now guess which is me OwO
I CAN DRAW AGAIN!!!! So I finally got to the second layer of blending ;;w;; and I realized pretty late that I should start everything off with a monotone layer then I should just add a color layer like what I did in my skull soul drawing. That way, I can at least play with the colours. I'll take mental note of that next time. But idk, maybe I'll try editing this on a gray-scale when I'm done with it, then I can play with more colours after
Ugh!!!! I'm finaly able to write again ;;w;; I've hibernated and recupperated enough to function as a human being again ;;w;; https://read.cash/@Hanzell/back-for-good-61ca3c52 I am now determined to get a pace going again while I'm job hunting
Definitely a great way to greet my mornings ππππ Hello 146 +6 other tabs I have to go through from read.cash. This will probably take me a few days to clear up again ;;-;; hopefully bot-san would be generous to me so I can at least leave a bit of upvotes when I'm done reading. It kind of became habitual to do so since I'm not such a big commenter now π
