Hey Gabs!!!

How are you? Is there nice weather where you are? Did you drink enough water today?

Hey Lo! 🤍 (Can I call you Lo?)

I can't complain lol, I have menstrual cramps so it sucks but I'm drinking cinnamon tea (my great-grandma used to say that it was good for the cramps)

Is Freaking hot as always but is raining a little

Nope thanks for the remainder I should go and drink some right now! 🤍

How about you? How is everything going? How are you feeling?

Have you eat breakfast or lunch yet?, Is cold where you are?

Please stay hydrated, eat something yummy and have a good day love u babe🤍✨

[honeyfelix]

its important u are reminded that people love you! also TWO BOTTLES?? THAT'S GREAT ANGEL!!! Did u pee then? It's important to stay hydrated but also take care of those kidneys! if u're up an average of 16 hours you need to go at least 4 times 😤 also I'm so happy u had lunch! I hope ur salad was yummy! Sucks to hear about ur work :( but that's exactly why u should rest now! take some time for urself! And please DO wash ur face, air is dirty these days. Basic hygiene is BASIC dont skip it! -☆

Hey angel! Just as you said, remember this place and writing are and should always be an escape for you. I know you don't wanna let down your followers, but the main reason why you write should be yourself. Take the time you need to get your life straight the most you can and just then worry about us. This blog is not a job! We'll wait, ok? Rememeber to have water and a lunch break! If you can, try to spend some time outside and have a change of air. I love you! ~☆

My angel! I'm guessing it's like 8pm for you maybe? I hope you had lunch and dinner today! Or at least a snack! You did so well yesterday, did you have water today? Make sure to drink a glass before bed! remember! Also did you shower? If you usually shower at mornings maybe you can start doing it at night instead. That way you can also wash your face and make sure you get rid of the world's dirt. Hope you have a great weekend angel! I love you! Please rest enough ~☆

Morning my angel! Did you have work today? I mean it's Saturday but some people work on Saturdays !!1!1!!1 If you do then good luck! Try to have fun and don't stress much ^^ if you don't then rest!!!!!!! Please!!!! And don't forget to have breakfast/lunch! Remember to stay hydrated, did you drink water last night? if not then drink now!!! It will not only help your body but your skin too! If you go out use sunscreen! I love you! ~☆

Hello my angel, it's 2am for me and I was heading to bed, but of course I had to stop by here first! Please remember u are loved and needed. It's ok to not feel ok and I know it's hard to believe u matter when u're down but I can promise u that u do matter. U will get through whatever u're doing through. I know u're tired of waiting, but I'm begging PLEASE give it a little more time. I promise I'll try my best to help u as I can. I love you so much my angel, don't give up just yet, u'll be ok -☆

please remember to have some food and water :( I promise you taking care of yourself will help you so so so much. Maybe even take a bath or a shower. I'm not trying to be annoying, sorry. I know I said I was more comfortable on anon but if you rather talk 1:1 just let me know and I'll slide in your messages ok? Rest well tonight angel, you deserve a break ~☆

My angel! Im sorry I didn't send a message earlier, we're renovating a room at home and I was stuck with that the whole day. How did your Sunday go? I hope you're better. Remember to have some food and water even if you don't feel like, you don't wanna lack energy! I promise. Remember you'll be ok and tomorrow is a new day. Rest well! I love you! ~☆

Morning my angel! Remember to have some breakfast! Maybe bring some fruit to work, you can compensate with that. Please have lunch break! And drink water, ok? Today try to focus on the positive things. Did you see a cute dog today? Maybe saw a toddler playing? Did you smell the flowers in the air? Was it sunny or rain blessed you? Small things that matter and will brighten your day. Stay healthy! I love you!!! ~☆

hi my baby ⭐️ i just wanted to say - this is difficult bc this has made me so emotional haha - i have never had someone care about me like this in my life i dont think. the fact that you went out of your way to think of me and check in on me when i was off the grid is so meaningful and overwhelming. 

i dont know how to thank you for caring about me when you dont even know me, and never asking for anything in return ... i dont even know what to say. these messages maybe seem small to you but have made me feel so loved and proved to me that someone cares about me and is looking out for me. 

and you are never never NEVER annoying, it breaks my heart to hear you might think that. i know how i push people away and can be unresponsive but i never want you think that has anything to do with YOU, it’s me being trash and i want to be better.

anyway. i just want to say again THANK YOU and that i love you. being cared about makes me want to take care of myself even if it’s just a little bit. you remind me that the things that seem normal to other people (drinking water and idk eating lol) have for some reason become this major obstacle for me but u make it feel possible and like something to be proud of. 

idk what i did to make u want to check in on me but please know that i do not deserve your kindness and your care. 

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

@starryfijifilm  Asked:  Bts!reaction to the reader not taking proper care of themselves (idk if that make sense) Now not intentionally, but like they often forget to eat dinner and breakfast ( I always do this thinking I already ate and don’t wanna overeat ) or stuff like forgetting to sleep, not looking both ways when crossing the street ( the amount of times my friends have had to yank me back cuz a car was coming 😂) Thank you 🙏 😅😋 (Suggestion; reader is younger too and always takes care of everyone else )

Here you go sweetie ! I hope you enoy this ! I’m sorry for the long wait ! Enjoy~

S E O K J I N

Since he had six other boys to take care of, taking care of you was like a breeze, especially when you didn’t do so for yourself. It was weird to him, being taken care of by someone who he was supposed to be watching, let alone someone younger than him. It did annoy him whenever you skipped a meal, or went to bed without eating. That was the most important thing to do, in his opinion. So he always made sure to cook for you when he could, and the days that he couldn’t, he would present you with snacks here and there until the both of you got home from your busy day, where he would cook something yummy up for you, then go on to talk about your day over dinner.

“You need to eat..if not I’m going to feed you..well then, open wide.”

N A M J O O N

He would be slightly frustrated but try not to show it too much, even though it did bother him, you were your own person, and he didn’t want to push you to doing things, like getting rest, or eating if you didn’t feel up to it. But over time, he would grow more worried, which made him point small things out here and there like telling you, “Why don’t we go take a nap before going out tonight,” to “You sure you don’t want to eat? It’s from your favorite place.” He wouldn’t want to be assertive in fear of you being annoyed by his sudden nagging, so he managed to hold back; But that didn’t mean that he wasn’t worried, because he would be.

“Are you sure you aren’t tired? We can go home for the night. Aghhh-”

Y O O N G I

He would be most annoyed out of everyone, especially when it came to you taking care of others, but not yourself. He worried about you, even if he didn’t show it much. He made sure to always check up on you, but very discreetly, not wanting to make it too obvious, and end up getting flustered in the end or teased by you or his members. He made sure to hold you or your hand closely when it came to walking around town, to even putting you off to the side, away from the street, worried you’d trip. When it came to getting lunch, he made sure you got something to eat. The two of you wouldn’t be able to leave the restaurant, until you did so. 

“You want some of this? It’s good. Seriously, let me pour you some real quick.”

H O S E O K

He would be as equally annoyed as Yoongi, but try not to show it too much. Though if it became a much bigger bother to him whenever he saw you doing things for other people. He loved how helpful and selfless you were, that’s part of the reason why he had fallen in love with you in the first place, but he also wanted you to take care of yourself, so days when you vouched to stay longer after class/work to help your friend’ with something they were behind on, he would go pick you up without question. He wanted you at home, resting, where he knew you were safe and sound, and getting your energy up for the next day.

“Aishhh- I know that you try to do your best when it comes to helping other people, but you’re important too baby..And you need to slow your roll.”

J I M I N

Of course this babyboy would whine like no other whenever it came to you missing a meal or not getting enough sleep. He just wanted you to be happy and healthy so whenever he heard that you you didn’t eat lunch that day, or had hurt yourself when you tried to rush to get something for you co-worker before you had to clock in at work, he couldn’t help but frown. Clearly, he was upset, and as much as you would try to reassure him with a smile, and a “I promise to eat at home.” his frown would still stay on his face. That is until you got home, where he would video call you, and made sure to remind you to eat.

“Hey baby~ Have you eaten yet? You promised that you would~”

T A E H Y U N G

This kind if behavior would slightly annoy him. He knew it wasn’t your fault, but part of him blamed the people around you. He didn’t like that you gave other people attention and care before yourself. Did he find it nice? Sure, he knew you were a caring person. But he knew that you were also of great importance, at least to him. He made sure to check up on you, whether it be in person, or through text and calling. He tried his best to talk with you in a sweet yet firm tone, on your self care and well-being and how it was important to maintain it. 

“Baby listen..I know that you always try your best to give everyone else what they need, but you need to do the same for yourself too, okay?”

J U N G K O O K

Now you know this boy would have no if’s, and’s or but’s about it. He would tell you like it is, even if he came off as annoying or harsh. It’s not that he wanted to, but he thought it would be the only way to get through to you. So when it came to the time you didn’t eat, he would bring you food, and would have you sit down, making sure you finished most, if not all of it before you left. Sleeping was another thing he would make sure you got enough of, trying to pull you from anything and everything that would disturb that part of your day. 

“Nuh uh uh...Where are you going? You have to finish first. I didn’t pay five whole dollars for nothing.”

Could u please do for Valentine's day the dr 1 guys with a succubus s/o and how they celebrate valentines day?

Couldn’t resist this one. Hope y’all had a good Valentine’s Day regardless of how you spent it!

~Mod Rachnera

Seductively Sweet (DR1 Boys Spending Valentine’s With Their Succubus!S/O)

Makoto Naegi:

He and you spend it relaxing, maybe going out to eat!

Succubi are already sweet when they’re with their Beloved One, so you two’s already heavy amount of affection is upped by 90%

You two spend a bunch of time around each other, that’s basically all that happens apart from some suggestive things every now and then.

At the end of the day, Makoto tells you he had fun with a small, but sweet smile!

Byakuya Togami:

Byakuya, at first, seemed a bit apprehensive about spending Valentine’s Day together.

But after you gave him puppy dog eyes and he loosened up a bit, you two had fun!

You guys a lot of fancy food and fun stuff! You got to cook him some famous Monster dishes, even! And you watched a few movies and even had a couple’s massage and swam together.

Although clearly he won’t admit it, Byakuya’s glad you two had a nice day together. You teased him about what’d happen once you guys got to bed though, that made him bright red.

Leon Kuwata:

Well, for starters, you guys’ morning started off a bit…playful. Although to be fair, you were releasing some of your Energy to get him in the mood.

After that lovely start to the day, you and Leon planned a fun day out!

The two of you went to eat lunch at a cafe one of your fellow Succubi recommended, and after eating, you went to shop and see a concert!

The day was eventful and fun! You admit that in all your days of being around humans, Leon has helped you have the most fun on a day like this so far. He was super happy to hear that.

Mondo Oowada:

Well, first thing was first, you decided to wake up early and make Mondo a home-made Monster Breakfast! Most of which ended up having to be saved as leftovers since you made so much. At least the food was yummy.

Then he took you out on a ride around town! During which you two stopped to do multiple things. Hang out at the park, go see a movie, eat dinner, etc.

Although along with the immense love that seems to come from all monsters in a relationship, Mondo’s later feeling a bit of a something-something.

Maybe getting at least a little steamy before you two cuddle and sleep is okay.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:

Taka’s up and at ‘em way earlier than you are. Then he wakes you up and asks if you want to go jogging with him. “Even Monsters need to be aware of their fitness!”

And so you did, you went jogging, then relaxed at home as he said he needed to do some things today.

And wouldn’t you know it, you woke up from a long nap to find your wonderful boyfriend had made a homemade dinner for you two, coupled with a card and a bouquet! 

You couldn’t help but wrap Taka in your wings and hug him close, your tail wrapping around his leg. “You’re too sweet for a monster like me, Taka..” “Nonsense, if anything, you’re too sweet for me! …now, shall we eat?”

Chihiro Fujisaki:

Dating a succubus was always a wonder for Chihiro. He thinks so because he walks in and finds you’ve already gotten dressed for a nice Valentine’s Day! …dressed nicely, but suggestively, as per succubus nature. You whined a bit as he made you change with a red face.

Albeit you two don’t really do anything other than going out and getting some candy and drinks.

You explained some things to him about why Monsters seem to appreciate Valentine’s Day so much, which he found interesting!

You two ended the day on a nice note--Chihiro sleeping while your wings wrapped around you two like a blanket.

Yasuhiro Hagakure:

You both found quite a nice surprise--Hiroko and Yasuhiro’s friends sent you Valentine’s! Hiroko sending you a bit of a playfully naughty one telling you not to wake the neighbors tonight.

After Hiro recovered from embarrassment, you dragged him in to take a bath with you and had breakfast.

The rest of the day was relatively mundane, the two of you lounging around and watching TV, eating fast food, etc.

Though sometimes you did get all cuddly and climbed onto Hiro to hug close to him. He liked to cuddle, and found it adorable that a succubus could get so cuddly.

You Know We Belong Together Tour Day 1-Sydney

This morning I woke up at 6am but slept in with my manta mask until 6:44 and too excited I wanted to get the day started with the way I know how I poured myself a glass of water to start my morning off so I can feel good about the day Today is going to be a really good day I just know it and I really hope it stays sunny and blue out there today because we have places to go, places to see and people to watch so far that's my plan for the day anyway I had a few fries from last night only because last time I had my tablets I spewed after digesting them after coughing

So now I can have my tablets digest them then have something to eat which I did this morning tidied my room and unpacked my suitcase a bit more before my morning routine which I did at 9am Talitha is finally awake and now having breakfast still kind of hungry because I only had 1 piece of toast and peanut butter normally I like to have juice with it normally after breakfast I like to feel full until lunch normally let's see what I am allowed now after eating that so then I had a a breakfast blueberry protein smoothie which was yummy.

We then met u with the others and talked for a long time but really we were there for filling out paperwork instead we talked for hours which was also fun because we met up with more people the next morning which was fun chatting with them for the morning then we had in mind to go where Dance Academy tv show was set in Walsh Bay instead we walked the shops of Sydney tried to find some going out shorts found the right size and fit but not exactly they couldn't zip that is the main thing shorts should normally do but I also like ones that don't where you can just pull them up and that's it like pants

From then on walked to find somewhere to have lunch and went to Yasaka Ramen I had noodles and tofu which I loved and dumplings and Talitha had noodle soup which she liked as well then caught the tram free ride back to where our hotel was and I had a rest while Talitha went to the shops to get dinner ingredients and I, on the other hand, I washed dishes while listening to music and had a lie down with my phone in hand which was fun taking advantage of the wi fi

I didn't know the time and didn't plan out my rest in the hotel as planned but got ready and some of us went to a show called FANGIRLS us girls loved it Patrick did too wasn't Josh's cup of tea though but it was right up my alley I was dancing along while watching you know how I went to Fame with Olivia and Pricilla The Queen of the Desert it was a mix between them I loved it and just like our show it had standing ovations so I thought let's pay other artists the same respect as I get from my audiences then from there

We all had our own plans for dinner and I had the idea of cooking an omelette and salmon pieces on the side like I sometimes have for breakfast on Sunday mornings at my unit and had grapes as dessert because I slept on the couch watching Tv so then I thought let's do my night routine watch the end of Fantastic Beasts & The Crimes of Grindelwald then go to bed after taking my tablet and milk and going to bed which is now looking forward to a long sleep and look at that it was a long blog can't wait for tomorrows.

WEEK 4 RECAP: “Power, Chase Bank Complaints, and TYPHOON SEASON”

As I stated in my previous posts, I’m really really really sorry for the delay here on my WEEK 4 RECAP. Granted, my weeks have started to become pretty routine; But I still like to keep my word with you guys and blog every weekend, despite the topic being my humdrum weekdays.

Anyway, let’s get to it:

Monday: 

My monday was one for the books, honestly. I stayed in bed all day long blogging and doing homework and just being a bum. It felt awesome. We got in from the Philippines early this morning, and I didn’t actually get in the bed until about 4am, so I took the liberty of playing hooky, and NO RAGRETS! 

I only left the house to get breakfast with Bunny... We went to this breakfast joint by our house and I splurged on an egg scallion pancake, a breakfast sandwich, orange juice, and a hash brown patty. It was bomb, but who am I kidding, it’s always bomb. I didn’t end up doing my homework until later in the evening, which ended up backfiring because I had SO MUCH HOMEWORK TO CATCH UP ON. It was actually pretty insane, but I still got it all done. For dinner Bunny and I picked up some potstickers from the place right outside our dorms that you all have already heard SO much about because we literally go there multiple times a week. Like I said in my intro... HUM. DRUM. 

Tuesday:

Today we went to the bakery before class, I had my daily tea, and barely survived the 3 hour period. After class we went to the gym, and I did leg day today. My legs were shaking so much, it was like they had turned to jelly over the weekend. I think this is due to the fact I took 4 days off🙄 but I managed to get my mile down to 8:30 today!!! Y’ALL!!! BASK IN THE GLORY!!! Progress!!! Slowly but surely!!!  

After the gym we went to a restaurant on the Shi Da market for lunch, and ordered fried chicken curry with rice and veggies. It was super good, and only 100 NT! (About $3.35 US).  

Afterwards, we went home and I took the longest shower ever, and then a nap (I really really needed it). I got up just to do homework, and then crawled back into the bed. I found a website that lets me watch Power online so that I can FINALLY catch up to the new season. BLESS UP!!! I started watching this show over the summer, but then I got caught up with other stuff so I never caught all the way up. I last left off on Season 2 Episode 7, but I heard the new season 4 is BATSHIT CRAZY so I need to catch up PRONTO. (Also, can I just take a minute and say I freakin’ hate Angela??? Ugh. Tasha is a ride or DIE and Angela comes waltzing in and I’m just mad as hell. Ghost is such a punkass. I literally cannot deal. Let me shut up while I’m ahead before ya’ll comment and spoil something for me.)

...He still fine as hell though... :-’)

For dinner we went to the Gong guan night market to get Gua Bao (remember those pork hamburger things from my “WEEK 2 RECAP” post? “Gua Bao? Gua BOMB!”) and egg scallion pancakes. We didn't leave the house until after 11pm, so alot of our options were closed at that point. 

Wednesday: 

I actually got up on time to head to the bus, and I was WELL RESTED!! Wow, such a rare occurance. In class I got a 95% on my dialogue quiz today. I’m getting used to pulling these A’s, but our lessons have gotten significantly harder so I find myself reviewing the characters twice as much as usual. Ew.

At the gym I did chest/shoulders/abs. I wore the wrong leggings to the gym today... I wore my normal black leggings instead of my work out leggings, so I didn't do cardio because I didn't want to be all sweaty in my normal cloth leggings... I don’t know I'm weird I guess?? But my ass was looking PHAT at the gym since I had normal leggings on hehe

After the gym Bunny and I tried this Italian spot by our school. They have a lunch menu where you can get a dish AND a side for 99 NT!!! (3-4$ US). What a deal!! I ordered pesto penne pasta and pumpkin soup as my side. Pretty plain, but still super yummy!

After lunch I went home to shower and do my homework and relax. Bunny and I got dinner around 9 because we were STARVING more than usual. I guess the soup and pasta didn’t do it for me. We hopped on the bus to head to Gong guan, but we missed our exit so we ended up taking the bus all the way to our school to go to the Shi Da night market there. MIND YOU I LOOK LIKE A CRAZY CAT LADY. I twisted my hair up and put on two bandanas after taking a shower and putting product in... and I had on a long flowy printed dress I got from the Philippines. Needless to say I looked crazy, in my shower flip flops. We got the soy sauce noodles to-go, with green beans, udon, cabbage, broccoli, and tofu. I also got to chat with my mom on skype tonight which was nice, after struggling to get her speakers to work (for like 20min) so she could actually hear me. I stuffed my face while on the phone with her, and she cheekily said “how come whenever I get you on skype you ALWAYS EATIN??” Then proceeds to laugh hysterically and say “you gonna regret it!! It’s gonna go straight to your hips!!!” ......So charming *eyeroll*, gotta love her lol.... 

I went to bed super late because I had the migraine of a lifetime. I think it might have been because I didn’t get a tea this morning... Caffeine headaches will be the death of me.

Thursday: 

I woke up with the same migraine, and was moving slow because I was so tired and my head was banging!! It was like the drummer guy from Whiplash was putting in WERK on my forehead. I was about 10 minutes late to class... I tried to rush because I knew we had a test in class, but I just couldn’t bring myself to get out of the bed on time. Kokoro (the Japanese student in my class) and I rode on the same bus to class, he was late too because he had gone clubbing last night! On a Wednesday??... Turns out, it doesn’t matter what day of the week it is here, it’s lit at the club every night. 

Class was good today. It didn't feel like it dragged as much. But, I was starving the whole time because I didn’t have time to grab some food before strolling into the class. Our teacher referenced the upcoming typhoon today! Meaning, it will be pouring, dumping rain all next week, starting this weekend. There will also be fierce winds. She told us how many people stay home and grocery shop a lot beforehand because transportation and a lot of businesses are closed. For those of you who don’t know, a typhoon is basically a hurricane. I'm not mentally prepared. Our teacher said that typhoon season lasts three months, starting in August. I’m nervous about the food aspect because we don't have a fridge in the dorm so I'm about to be eating perishables all week... canned beans and rice? God, I’m not excited. But maybe class will be cancelled a few days this week? A girl can dream!!!

In the gym it was leg day yet again! My legs weren’t half as shaky as tuesday so that’s good. I ran a 8:45 mile, after almost DYING on the first treadmill I hopped on. I was adjusting the speed and the treadmill skipped and I almost flew the fuck off. My arms were flailing and I let out this loud/awkward noise and everyone was looking at me. I caught my balance and didn't die, but I definitely quietly turned off the machine and moved to another treadmill shortly after. I think that messed up my mojo because while I was running I was constantly paranoid of the same thing happening on the machine next door. 

After the gym the three of us went to Shi Da market. I pulled out cash from the ATM but was pretty bitter about it because I looked at my bank statement and my bank (Chase Bank) charges a $5 FEE WITH EVERY NON-CHASE ATM WITHDRAWAL that I make... THAT ADDS UP?!!! Are u kidding me??! I’M BROKE AS IT IS CHASE, CUT ME SOME SLACK!!! I'm so salted. I hate Chase Bank. They suck ass. Do you know how many WITHDRAWALS I’VE HAD TO MAKE WHILE HERE??? I need a Charles Schwab account because it seems like they’re the only bank not trying to PLAY US.

I tried a new place for lunch where they had these small fried dumplings. I would show a picture but I inhaled it so fast that I didn't get to. So here's a picture of the box...hehe

I also got some more dragonfruit today    V   so so good.

After the gym I came home, showered, and relaxed. I ended up napping around 8 and woke up at like 10:30pm... I did my homework in class so I'm probably just going to eat something small and crawl back into the bed. I got a banana at the Family Mart convenience store and some apple juice and a pack of yan yans. Yan Yans are those pretzel stick things that come with the chocolate dip and they’re super good?? I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. I talked to Karis on the phone, and then Paris shortly after that. It was SO GOOD to see Paris’s face and hear his voice after so long. :-’) I miss you roomie!! I knocked out again after hanging up with him.

Friday: 

This morning I woke up to a power outage on our Gong guan campus. If this is any tell of how the rest of the weekend/next week is going to be with the upcoming typhoon, I am not ready.

I got a 99 on my quiz today... I. AM. HURT. It was so so close I could taste the perfect score!!

Today I brought my umbrella to class because the typhoon starts this afternoon/evening. Class breeezed by because there was only 7 of us today. It was back day at the gym, and it was great! I’m definitely going to be sore. And I did some booty workouts on the floor afterward. After the gym we went to Gong guan market (the one by our house, not the Shi Da one by campus) to get some food and look for a SIM card for Bunny’s phone (so that she can have a local phone number and consistent data). We stopped and got pork buns and mango before heading home. 

When I got home I finally was able to decompress from the long week. I relaxed for a few hours before leaving the house at 10pm to go to the grocery store with Bunny. When we got to the grocery store, it was about an hour or so before closing, and it looked like the apocalypse hit. All the shelves were sweeped, but we got some food to get us through the weekend.... Like wine and rice and potatoes and eggs and snacks. After the grocery store we headed home to relax and shelter away from the upcoming typhoon.

Saturday: 

I made breakfast this morning after finally leaving the bed at 1:30 pm. I made eggs and papas!! - An old fave. (Jaylene I miss you). I also cut up some apples too to eat with peanut butter. It was good, but the papas weren't up to par because I only had two seasonings... Sad day. 

The rest of the day was spent in bed, watching Power and being a couch potato. At 8:30pm our power went out again, but only for a few minutes. It was getting pretty crazy outside at this point. You could hear the wind howling and tree branches swinging and water pushing its way through the cracks in the closed windows of the bathroom/bedroom. 

At 9pm is when I spilled my Pink Moscato on my laptop. HOW COULD SOMETHING SO SWEET BETRAY ME SO HARSHLY?? My computer immediately died after letting out this depressing noise and became completely non-responsive...and so did I. I was on the brink of a meltdown. To keep from succumbing to panic, I put my phone on DND and went to sleep at 9:30pm. I literally knocked the hell out. That’s the best way to avoid problems/conflict right? Take ya ass to sleep.

Sunday:

I woke up by 4:45/5am, and reality set in. I spoke to my mom on the phone, and she helped calm me down and rationalize the situation. I was a mess. I still am a mess. I cannot afford a new computer right now, and I'm nervous about going to get it fixed because I don't want to be taken advantage of, and I wouldn't know the difference either way... I'm clearly foreign. But I have 8 years of memories and information stored on this laptop, so I'm not letting it go without a fight. I called a few places that claim to fix Apple products on Google, but none of them turned up with any real answers. So after 12pm, I ended up going to the Apple Store at Taipei 101. I took a quick shower and brought a bunch of stuff I figured I might need: my laptop, external hard drive, a flannel, umbrella, towels, a hat, and snacks. I've never been outside when there was a typhoon brewing so it's better safe than sorry right? As soon as I walked outside I could tell something was off. There weren't a lot of people bustling about, and there were countless fallen branches and leaves covering the sidewalks and roads.

I hopped on the bus, and then the MRT, to head to Taipei 101, the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan. I had this lingering thought in the back of my mind... let me illustrate... “Is it a good idea to go to the tallest sky scraper in Taiwan when there’s a hurricane with strong winds/ pouring rain just waiting to happen?”... All i could picture is the structure toppling over with all of us inside and causing this huge disaster, similar to something straight out of an Apocalyptic movie like 2012.... Anyway, I arrived just before 1pm, and come to find out, the Apple Store is CLOSED. I’m salty. All the lights are on and the store would otherwise look open, it's just that there's no one inside. It's completely empty. Even all the devices on display are powered on. It was kinda errie... Like those paper towns the military sets up, where it looks like a normal town and everything, just no one lived there...  I looked online (again) and went to their actual website where it says today (and only today) they open at 2pm instead of 11am. So I just waited around the mall for an hour until they opened. I found a bench and an outlet so I was just sitting here chilling....Glad I brought my snacks. ;)

When the time finally came to go back to the Apple Store, that overwhelming feeling came rushing over me again. I ended up crying like a PUNK to the customer service lady. So annoying!!! Ugh. I was a fragile mess. I spoke to two different managers who both spoke perfect English, and they helped to reassure me that they would try their best to help me. I have to come back tomorrow for a walk-in appointment with the Genius Bar. Fingers crossed they can help me, or at least retrieve/save my information. 

I left Taipei 101 feeling pretty defeated, so I got some McDonalds on the way home... I know it sounds silly but I needed comfort food and something that felt like home. I ordered the filet o fish (which I crave daily), with fries and a coke. This was not my best moment, but the whole meal only cost 95 NT!! (Less than $3.20). CRAZY! 

I came home and that’s when I started reading my book that I keep mentioning, “You Are A Badass” By Jen Sincero. It helped me to feel better and get into a better frame of mind. 

I took a break from reading to help Bunny make curry for tonight’s dinner. It was BOMB and came out fairly well if I may say so myself. I’ll definitely be making curry more often when I come back to the States.

I finished reading my book just before calling it a night. SUCH a good read I cannot stress this enough!!! I learned so much from Jen’s words and she adds funny stories/anecdotes and the way she describes things is just so relatable. If you have a chance to read it I definitely recommend!!!

I went to sleep pretty late, I was laying in bed catching up with Jay (via text) and other friends from back home. Before closing my eyes, I decided to practice meditation, which is one of the key concepts in the book. I wasn’t very successful the first time, because it was hard to clear my mind and just be still. I know it takes practice, so I’m going to try to dedicate time every day to meditate for at least 5 minutes! Feel free to join me on this challenge, it’s supposed to reap unprecidented benefits!

Also, please pray that when I take my laptop in tomorrow to the Apple Store they can fix whatever’s wrong!!! I need all the prayers I can get. I’m speaking it into existence now: MY COMPUTER WILL LIVE. IT WILL RISE AGAIN. IT WILL POWER ON.

Until next time,

xoxo

76 Thoughts You Have When Trying To Be Healthy At Work

Debra’s brought these brownies in on purpose just to sabotage me.

Remee Patel / Leszekczerwonka / Getty Images

1. OK, you can do this, this breakfast comes highly recommended.

2. Two boiled eggs on whatever this weird bread is.

3. Whose Crunchy Nut is this by the toaster?

4. Do you guys know how much sugar is in cereal?!

5. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!

6. Calm yourself this is only Day One.

7. Mmm black coffee...what the cool kids drink!

8. Don't cry! Remember real grown ups don't drink vanilla lattes.

9. Oh my god, Carol has an almond croissant. 10. Just eat these bloody eggs and then you'll be too full to be tempted by anything else.

11. Yummy fart-smelling boiled eggs! Yummy dry bread!

12. In a few weeks this will all taste fine, you just need to get used to it.

13. Maybe I'll be dead by then.

14. Either way, you won't have to suffer for long.

15. Right, concentrate on your work, you've got a report due.

16. Wow my head is so clear without all that processed sugar I normally have every day!

17. I mean, sure, it's only been two hours but wow wow wow I just feel so different.

18. I think I have a headache.

19. What is this email from Debra?

20. "Brownies in the kitchen, help yourself :)".

21. Fucking Debra.

22. She's clearly done this on purpose, she's trying to sabotage my new "being healthy forever" lifestyle.

23. It's OK, you don't need the brownies. You're not even hungry.

24. Yes you are.

25. Apparently the brownies have salted caramel in them.

26. Oh this is low Debra, even for you.

27. Only one more hour until lunch and then you can eat your lovely chicken salad. 28. It's got feta in it. That's nice. You like feta.

29. Everyone willl look at it and be so impressed and you'll feel smug again.

30. They'll say "Wow, check you out with your fancy lunch!" as they microwave their sad soups!

31. Another email from Debra.

32. "Still some brownies left ;)"

33. How is that even possible?? The people in this office are bloody piranhas.

34. Oh my god Debra is coming by each desk to flog the leftover brownies.

35. Quick, run to the loo! 36. HAHAHAHA. Not THIS time Debra, you fucking snake!

37. Hmm, what's this on my desk? Why is there a note?

38. "Thought I'd save u one, kno these are your fave! Debs xxx"

39. This bitch.

40. Throw it in the bin.

41. But there are children starving in the world.

42. OK give it to Dave.

43. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T WANT IT DAVE?

44. I've seen you eat three packets of Wotsits in a row, don't give me this "I already had one" shit.

45. GOD HELP ME WILL SOMEONE PLEASE JUST TAKE THIS BROWNIE AWAY FROM ME.

46. Fine. You've forced me to do this. It's going in the bin.

47. R.I.P brownie and HR newsletter.

48. Lunch time! Mmmm yummy salad!

49. Really enjoying all of this raw broccoli! So crunchy!

50. What's that Dave? Why thank you, my salad does look healthy!

51. And I'm loving every bit of it even if my face looks like I've got something painful stuck in my bum.

52. Now for something sweet! A delicious piece of fruit!

53. HAHAHAH THIS IS FINE I LOVE FRUIT.

54. Who am I kidding, fruit is not a dessert and should never be treated as such.

55. Another email from Debra.

56. "BROWNIES ALL GONE :)".

57. Well, that's it. You've fucked it. You've really gone and fucked it.

58. Why did I throw that beautiful brownie in the bin? 59. Mind you, it's only in there with a bit of paper...

60. Brownie looks pretty intact...

61. Just pretend you're taking out the newsletter.

62. HAHAHAHAHA no I'm not eating out of the bin Dave don't be ridiculous!

63. I'm just reading about Harold's triathlon!

64. I fucking hate Dave.

65. 3pm. Usually when I have another latte, seven chocolate biscuits, and bitch about Debra.

66. Instead I'm drinking some funky-smelling tea the guy at the massage place sold me back when I had hope.

67. Email from Dave.

68. "KRISPY KREMES IN THE BREAK ROOM :)."

69. Dave is a snake just like Debra. 70. What if I just eat half a doughnut? That's not that bad.

71. You won't eat half though, will you? 72. OF COURSE I WON'T HAHA LOOK I ALREADY HAVE TWO!

73. Maybe if I get Dave and Debra fired, I'll stand a better chance at this whole healthy eating thing.

74. Might as well not bother until that happens then.

75. Yes Debra, yes I am fishing your brownie out of the bin.

76. Soon Debra. Soon.
