These past few rainy days get me grounded indoors too much. Normally I have a weekend routine aside from staying in bed.

That heavy rain (yes that... I am hoping it is gone) is the perfect time to check on leaks in my place but since most streets are flooded OR I do not know which streets are flooded along the way to my place, I do not know if it was safe to take a chance. I do not think I am up to turning my car to a submarine.

Yesterday I pushed myself to get out of the house and at least go to the grocery. Good thing my mom handed me a list of things to buy. One more day staying indoors with rain pouring angry every now and then plus wind, will drive me mad. I would constantly be sad for not being able to do what I intended to do on a Saturday. And also inactivity on both Saturday and Sunday will make me think of Monday too soon. The task I needed to do, the deadline, the trip I am planning to take after this week but cannot because of variables that are not in my control, etcetera. I need to do something to fight off the blues.

For some weird reason my once a month battle with insomnia happened last night. Haha. It is annoying and funny. It was cold, I was super duper sleepy when I finally lied down. But I cannot find deep sleep. I was lying in bed still, eyes closed but sleep just does not dwell for a long time. I am sure I got naps maybe. The real sleep I got was my afternoon sleep actually. Supposedly I will push with the visit to my place after the Sunday online service today but it rained hard again. So I got to find a push to distract myself from dwelling on not being able to carry out my weekend plan. Yesterday, my distraction was the grocery. Today was soup.

Ah, so why don't we do this. Let us run through some things that make me happy. Shall we.. ?

Post Its and Sticky Notes

Yep, they are part of my unplanned collections. Also part of the many things I willfully pull myself away from whenever I am inside a bookstore because I might end up picking another pack. You would also know that I did not rush into reading a book if you see notes and post its with notes on most of its pages.

Pumpkin Soup

I like this one creamy. I just made one today and I liked it -the very few times that I frequent the kitchen to fix something up . Perfect for the still cold weather and just the right thing to keep my mood up. Then I felt sleepy after. Woohee!

Beaches, Sea, Ocean, Waterfalls

Even if I do not take a dip I like hearing the crashing waves and the smell of the ocean.

Best trips are always those that involve the beach!

Sunsets

I chase sunsets almost every chance I get. Sunsets are included in most of my photo walk experiences. My friends in the office are also sunset chasers so we sometimes take a break by going up the fire escape stairwell and shoot some.

Coke

No, not crack. Coke as in Coca-Cola. USED to be one of my go to beverages. I still like it every once in a while. But not as much as I used to. I think I outgrew the craving for its fizz and sugar. Which is good. Else, it would have been one of the suspect that sent me to the ER way back 2017 or was it 2016.

Coffee still tops everything.

Sushi, Sashimi, Ramen

I also love eating these. Though I may be limited due to my allergies, I eat what I can while the allergies do not progress to other members of the food web (lols).

There you go..

My brain is already raising the white flag. Lols.
