102024

A very, very productive day. ☺️

Proud of us, self.

Woke up on my first alarm.

Earliest "new me wakey early bird goal" wakey time: 6:30 am

Morning walked for 8.5 km upon waking up

Morning walked to several malls lol. Sm Jaro, Puregold, Sm Hypermarket, Gaisano, Atrium, Sm Delgado - Ace Hardware . Early bird open stores were Sm Jaro around 7!! and Atrium. Next early one is Sm Hypermarket at 8 (it was still closed when I arrived there though 😂)

Bought a medication soap for my fur babies

Bathed all three of them

Papi's first official "play fetch" ; he picks his fave chew thing (an old paint brush that's typically for a wall lol) that i threw afar, brings it back to where i was standing, then, instead of NOT willing to give it and or share it to me and just have it f9r himself to chew down, with the help of a foodie treat, he drops it. Did it over and over. HAHA. eventually, he somehow picked up on it. That when he picks up what i threw, he drops it near me, and ready for some treat. ☺️ papi's such a baby, no different than my fur babies. he likes to be adoringly petted too. And talked to. He's learning. :3 Majority of the time of his training, the approach is gentleness: meaning no shouting, no spanking with a slipper or whatnot, no smashing of stuff. And I have to say, gentle approach works, even more to point out that the subjects are dogs (not much particularly word dependent for communication), where they don't have to understand words.

kind of crazy being a mom of 10 kids:

one is having tantrums (after repotting)

one is insanely a ball of endless energy and gets stinky poop dirty before even the day ends

one is hella fond of bringing in dead animals (after hunting down the neighborhood chickens or kittens) and gets hella filthy, as if freshly came from exploring the sewers, within like 3 days after bath time

one is a very very clingy one, who's not far from being duct taped with me wherever I go, even when I'm having a bath, peeing, even pooping, and would constantly steal my footwear and bring it downstairs especially when I have to draw the line (which is my bedtime, i close my doors)

one is giving me creeping anxious talks whether she's being slowly targeted by pests to send her to ruin, as I constantly check up every parts that I could

one is giving me periodical wonders whether they'd actually survive the chopping and successfully grow roots

three are still in the state of a long recovery, and just slowly slowly getting by.

one is not giving signs, whether happy or sad or very much doing fine, any kind of response, after repotting

GEEZ. what was I even thinking to bring in 10??

Social Faces

I have 2 core faces I want to put out in the world and find myself into whenever I interest to socialize and interact:

1. Adventurous, Playful, Light-hearted Me

- it's that, 'let's go out and have some fun. be it sports, walks, run, travel, etc. something to laugh and feel like a child'

2. Deep, Philosophical, Life Talks Type

- it's that, 'let's just sit back and talk about life, controversial or taboo topics, philosophies, the "whys" of life, spirituality, psychology, or maybe nerd talk about science, finance, health, economics, just something to learn about, uhm walks of history and how alive and relational they are in today's era'

so far, if any of these faces couldn't be met, somehow I find myself uninterested to socialize to certain types of people. because, somehow, for me, it's either we bond through fun, learning, and or expanding perspectives. Random rantings here and there are fine BUT if that's all that there is oh so frequently, I'd rather be on my own company.

241001 - 01:40 Perhaps my definition of life:

is to create: to create a home, to create art, to create a garden is to pour love: to love my pets, to love my plants, to love my future own family

is to live: to travel and experience several places I've never been to to play and enjoy several activities that I find fun doing to learn and immerse on the diverse human cultures and behaviors create a home, to create art, to create a garden to understand how things are somehow all connected (history, events, behavior, collective molecular functions, nature)

Toxic Urban Air // 240925

It's just insane how several people in urban cities have become so desensitized how polluted the air they breathe on a daily that they could barely tell nor recognize how suffocating it feels.

just got an idea about a book I'd probably write:

Title: Why.

Content Genre: psychology, spirituality, philosophy, self-help, reality, ways of living and maneuvering adulthood, either as an entry level who just got out from school life, or a wandering adult whose seemed a little 'lost' and detached from themselves.

perhaps it all boils down to how you perceive your job, how it serves you.some see their job as their personal aspiration to keep on living, as it sparks them joy and sense of being whilst the exhaustion of working. some see their job as their source of living, literally to get to feed themselves and those that they look after. some see their job as an opportunity to propel them ticking off their bucket lists: from hobbies, travel dreams, things, possessions like houses, cars, etc. some see their job as the gateway to build income-generating matters: real estate, stocks, investments, etc.

I rarely check the moon, but somehow, circumstance made me so. [It was stuffy and not so nice and clean smelling in my space so i went up a bit for some fresh air, to 5h3n notice how bright was the moon [it seemed like a full moon (i wasn't wearing my glasses)]; and how clear the night sky was, noting that it's been raining like crazy since about last friday. Down i went back to my space and bathed for bed, it just occurred to me to browse the internet: it was indeed a full moon.

~2:54. now it's starting to rain like crazy again.

3:00. not only it's a full moon, it said that jist yesterday September 17-18, the fall lunar eclipse took place.

Circumstances like this make me really believe this thought about 'there is no such coincidence'.

around this time too, forgot if it was before checking the moon or after, 222 came up to my phone. then on my playlist playing, just a few mins after me bathing, "Sailing Across the Sky".

What is this circumstance telling meee

Now my head won't shut up trying to decipher it somehow...

end. 3:05

Yesterday was the eclipse. these were some of the snips I got from yesterday:

Wow. Coincidence?? I bet not.

"Learning to let go"

**i was also sitting straight directly in front of this bell tower, then the church. despite the many empty and available benches, i happened t9 gravitate towards this one, to then notice i sit directly in front of such.

**also happened to caption my photo journal of yesterday "Favorites". had so much exposure to my faves yesterday :3

burned cinnamon scent, bitter coffee, cold air breeze, candle lit space, dull gloomy weather, pullover on.

my kind of "autumn"

Week Recap // 20240916

overall, Week 2: September 8-15 was a reflective and meditative week. Profound and rich. It taught me significant lessons after circumstances brought me to unearth some of my baggages, hold them with my hands, look at them and see them, understand, recognize, and acknowledge them, then bring peace with them. :3 now today, somehow, i FEEL a little bit lighter in spirit, emotion, and heart. :">>

It’s a most distressing affliction to have a sentimental heart and a skeptical mind.

Just because you see through the insanity of people, it doesn't mean you are now responsible of them to be well. 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink'.

Perhaps, love is very simple.

It's just us people that make it complicated given all these personal issues we're all carrying with, mostly unconsciously.

i just really love this feels: chill breezy wind, warmers, soft folk-acoustics, lit candles 🥺🥺

Oh, so enamored by your light, like fireflies in the dimming, silent nights of the woods. I am but amongst the caught-up gnats—existing yet unnoticed.
