So weird to receive an email from read.cash. It's been a few years, right?

I wanted to be a painter or something related to arts. I'm an engineer now who crochets or paints during my free time (which is rare).

When I changed career after being in the OT side for 2 years, I knew that my OT skills will inevitably be obsolete. The industrial technical things move too quickly that I knew I would not be able to keep up if that is not my line of work anymore. But these days, since I am working closely with OT providers, I am feeling a bit out of it. I miss being on that side of things instead of being in the IT/OT integration. I miss the late night troubleshooting. I miss the sense of…

In the past few years, I've picked up new things that make me happy. One of this is hiking mountains when I can. The views up the mountains are amazing, but the physical strength needed for this activity is not a small matter. Anyway, I just wanted to share this pic. I look forward to slowly sharing some of the memories I made in the years that I have not been active here in read.cash. The past few years were a rollercoaster. Can't wait to share my adventures, wins, and…

It has been raining nonstop. All I really want to do is sleep all day but my work is taking up majority of my time. Aside from my full time time, I actually have a part time as well. So I work 12hours a day in total. But it's bearable. Also, it feels a bit weird having a place where I can share my thoughts again. To be honest, I deleted most my social media apps. So I am not really uo to date with trends and stuff like that. But it's nice having some sort of space to express…

Good morning. The sky is a bit grey still today and I don't really want to take a picture of it right now. But here is the last sky picture I took of a project site I had last year. Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time just to relive moments like this. Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Mt. Batulao is my mother mountain. I went here last 2024 with my two best friends. It is such a fond memory for me especially since there was a falling out with one of my bestfriend after this trip. I guess what they say about taking adventures together really test friendships. Sharing some of the pics I took back then. I've been meaning to go back to this mountain to take some pictures on the "buwis buhay" spots that I skipped last time. Anyway, the mountain is so beautiful…

Reading my past posts made me feel like I'm meeting myself in some way. I don't even remember writing them but when I read them the memories of the events I wrote about come to mind. There were a lot of things that I have forgotten but thankfully they are all safely written here for me to look back on. It reminds me once again than some years ago I had a small corner on the internet where I can share my thoughts without worry.

Probably the haircut that's similar to Dora the Explorer haha. That was my haircut when I was a kid

It has been raining nonstop and I just slept the whole day away. One thing I'm really grateful for now that I only work 5 days a week is that I can just use one weekend to catch up on sleep. I usually reserve Sunday for dates with my boyfriend or for some other activites. It feels good having the time to just breathe without worry. Since I started WFH, I find that I have more time to do the things I need and want. I'm always grateful for this opportunity. Especially since I…

Rest day is always well-spent with the person you love. My boyfriend is a busy guy. I met him in my previous company so he is usually deployed on different plant sites. This means that scheduling dates is not easy but he always makes time when possible. Today we met up and as usual, the day ended with my heart and tummy full. For brunch, we had Samgyupsal at Romantic Baboy. It has been a while since we had samgyup so it was nice. But really, we are not made for unlimited…

Good morning. The rain is still ongoing. Some workplaces had suspended their work activities. For our office, we continue with our operation since the employees are mostly work from home. Also, just wanted to share these projects I worked on years ago. These small projects were done when I was interested in creating a pixel crochet. I realized that I hate changing from one color to another so I tried a fusion of crochet and cross stitch. These two projects are the result of…
@ZehraSky
Just sharing this crochet order I made last February. I had a lot of fun doing this crochet mini bouquet. And I am really glad that they liked it as well.
@ZehraSky
For coffee, I take it without cream and sugar. I like when it is so bitter that I question my sanity for drinking it. For tea, I don't like the bagged ones. I usually buy the loose leaf tea because I enjoy preparing it and it tastes better in my opinion.

My first anniversary with my boyfriend is fast approaching and I wanted to do something nice for him. I already finished crocheting a new beanie for him. What I'm currently making is a laptop cover for his new laptop. This small crochet rectangle is part of the front panel of the laptop cover. The front panel will be made up of 9 rectangles. I'm cross-stitching Totoro for this square. So excited to see how this laptop cover turns out.
@ZehraSky
Good morning, I finished the Totoro rectangle for the laptop cover's front panel. Out of the 9 rectangles for the front panel, I will add pixel design to 5 rectangles. One down, just 4 more to go. The next one will be from a different anime.

My first job is actually a Chat Support Agent for about 4 months. It was after high school and I worked to save up for my laptop before the start of college semester. As for my first job after college, I worked as a Calibration Technician for a 4 months. It was a contractual role of 3 months, and I rendered 1 month when I decided not to push through my employment. Through these two first jobs, I learned that I do not like boring, repetitive day of work. I want to have some…
@ZehraSky
3 down, 2 more to go. I am almost done with the patterns for the fron panel of the laptop cover. I do have to buy some more yarns for the back panel but everything is coming together nicely. Super thankful that I have a smooth sailing work day this week which allows me to spend some time on crochet projects. 1- Totoro (last post) 2- Koro-Sensei 3- Luffy
@ZehraSky
4 down, last one to go Good morning, I am almost done with the rectangles with cross-stitch design. After this I would have to crochet it together to form the front panel of the laptop cover. 1- Totoro (different post) 2- Koro-Sensei (different post) 3- Luffy (different post) 4- Inuyasha 5- Anya
@ZehraSky
Good evening. Sharing with you the front panel of the laptop cover I am working on. I really like how it turned out. Can't wait for new yarns so I can finish working on this project.
@ZehraSky
Old and New While waiting for my new yarns to arrive, I started a new project. The first thing I did is make the pixel grid reference of our pet dog, Moshi. This will also be another laptop cover with a pixel design. I am excited about thins because this will be the first time I'll try using a big pixel grid with lots of colors for light and shadows. For reference, the first laptop cover with pixel design I made is this dual-color design. Very simple and straight forward. It…

There are a lot of things that I dread about taking care of my cats but the biggest thing is probably the inevitable. When I first got them as tiny helpless kitten, I was so afraid of not being able to take care of them properly. It was my first time taking care of pets but I taught myself things that would make their lives more comfortable. It has been more than 4 years now since I had them. And they are as healthy as they can be, but still the dread of knowing that someday…
