5 things tag 💘

I was tagged by my loves @bigcowboyseokjin and @softboyjinnie thank u loves 💖💖💖

5 things in my (work) bag

my laptop nestled in a giant bulky laptop case bc im a giant clumsy mess and i once accidentally dropped my backpack onto the marble floor of my old school and almost suffered a heart attack bc i thought i broke my laptop she was fine...my heart? not so much

a s’well bottle full of tea bc im a pompous idiot who likes her tea to be hot enough to burn her tongue all day

an entire compartment of snacks bc one can never have enough snacks and having a full stomach is a myth

an entire pouch of chargers/dongles/harddrives and an extra external battery. its cream and patterned with little strawberries that i got from hay mini mart that had opened near my old dorm rooms before i left and its saved my ass on more occasions than i can count

the employee pass that lets me into the building and clocks me in and out automatically when I cross the doors. i usually have my pass clipped to my jeans at work bc thats where i used to put it for my previous internship but apparently everyone hangs it around their neck here. also: no i understand why there is such a complicated mechanism for clocking in hours when the wifi is barely functional, but you know...just me.

5 things in my room

i dont really have a bedroom now bc i moved into a small studio apartment  closer to my workplace so this is what is in my living room w a bed?

two open luggages in various states of spilling all over the floor

an old rickey upright piano that the airbnb host said I could tinker with as long as I do it before 9pm when the old people in the complex sleep

the three small stuffies and the muji neck pillow i shoved into my bag like the morning of my flight lmfao (the pillow was a gag gift for being Old(tm) on my 21st bday but its the single most useful gift ive ever gotten so whos laughing now??)

a mug of half-drunk cold tea bc i may be a mess but at least im aes(tm)

a giant pile of laundry piled on the lounge chair in the corner of the room bc I dont have a hamper as of yet and im a Mess

5 of my favourite things

food (to the absolute surprise of no one)

my friends and family and mutuals and followers (no they aren't things but you get my point)

music

the smell of coffee and new books

books

5 things i’m into right now

honne - crying over you (ft. zhou bibi & rm) & dindin - falling tears (ft. wheein)

historical sewing and dress

scent diffusers/dehumidifier

having the correct circadian rhythm that matches with my time zone

actually taking care of my body!!!

5 things on my to-do list

grade the mock exams my students took

buy new conditioner

figure out how to get home wo getting soaked literally as soon as I step outside in the pouring rain...again

buy groceries (FRUITS!!!) like the sad millennial that I am

practice chopin’s ballade in g minor on the sad off-tune piano that came w my apmt bc its my aunts fave piece and idk what to get her for her bday to actually thank her for putting with my lazy whiny ass for the past couple of months. the downside is that i haven't touched a piano in years now and trying to get back my flexibility back when i first learned the piece is proving to be a difficult task for my old stiff fingers. not everyone can be Rubenstein or Kissin or Li *sigh* i still have a couple weeks 💦 i can do it. i can absolutely conquer those stupid octave-spanning diminished 7ths-sounding major chords and stupid stupid appassionato sections and the stupid stupid stupid coda runs 💦💦 i won first place on the strength of my romantic pieces this should be absolutely fine!!!!!!💦💦💦 if i cant im just gonna ask my cousin to play zigeunerweisen and i can accompany????? he can show off his Epic(tm) violin skills and the accompaniment isn't too hard or maybe worse case scenario I can play impromptu in Bb maj??? *regrets her life decisions but is too stubborn to change them: a saga*

15. Spend focused/individual quality times with my earthlings. (Watch movie, Arcade, Playhouse, Brunch/Dindin, Hike, Swimming, etc.)

16. Date night with hubs (1-2x a month) Weekly pwede ba? Budget come through.

17. Shop my pantry first before mag-hoard sa grocery store! Sakit ko na ata to laging gusto naggrocery. Okay lang kahit kulang rekados iluto mo yan ghorl.

18. Eat out every weekend lang (either saturday or sunday) kasi hindi tayo mayaman. Maximum $100/week budget po tayo. Kung may sobra edi mabuti.

19. Lose at least 20lbs or else walang baby #3 nyeta baby fats overstaying na. We can do this self kasi di pwedeng si Oppa lang hot!

20. Learn new recipes or better yet try meal planning. Wag rin sobra sobra kung magluto. Again, di tayo mayaman sizt.

21. Renew CPR/First aid kasi nurse ka ghorl.

22. Phlebotomy certification. 3 Sundays lang gora na wag tamad.

23. Learn hangul. More pa!!! No english in laws mo hija try harder.

24. Establish a better sleep schedule for the whole family. Di na uso eyebags this 2022. Get it girl! (Parang joke talaga to)

25. Read 1 book every month. Isa na lang yan ha ewan ko na lang talaga pag di pa naachieve.

26. Keep selling. More items tayo sa budulan pero ayoko na talaga ng kandila at cereals ang liit ng tubo tapos bulky ubos box space ko!

27. Wag na oorder sa amazon everyday unless pangbenta.

28. Costco cash back= Stock up on paper products (paper towel, toilet paper, kleenex), hygiene (soap, napkin, shampoo, conditioner, hand cream), dishwashing liquid, garbage and compost liners, laundry detergent/softener/scent boosters, kitchen saran wraps and ziplocks.

29. Save $150-$200/ month in TFSA for PH project 2028. Other saving challenges shouldn’t be mixed.

30. $10k emergency fund. Di po to gagalawin unless may emergency nga. Wag na makulit.

31. Mortgage lump sum at the end of the year.

32. Declutter and organize papers/kids anik-anik/house stuff better.

33. Save excess $ from CTB and don’t you dare touch it self. Kung meron?! Meron yan siz claim natin.

34. Create another stream of income. I honestly have no idea right now how to achieve this. Suntok sa buwan but we’ll see. Nobody knows what the future holds kemerut nga.

35. Reunite with my Papa dearest and Aunt this year here in Canada.

36. To a healthier and danger free 2022 because none of this is possible without it. Lord I fervently pray for this.

I purposely wrote a long list because even if I end up achieving only half of it is already a lot. 36th is the priority- I can lose all the other numbers but not this.

List will be reevaluated from time to time.

Brekkie: Two slices of toast and PB with two cinnamon toast waffles! YUS!!!

Post Target run snack: Believe me, I wasn’t supposed to buy the groceries at Target. I mistook the place where we bought really good sweet potatoes and ended up with a bag of needed groceries minus the sweet potatoes.

Anyway. Almond Joy on clearance FTW!

Evening snacks: The cookie is something we should all be familiar with now. I had this while waiting on my brother to come to the car. 

I had the Goldfish while we were waiting on the pizza and chicken to bake.

Dindin: Ohhhhh yeah. Buffalo and honey barbecue tenders with pizza. It was a good night.

Tea. I had green tea in this mug I got at Goodwill! I’m trying to incorporate green tea into my routine again. I can’t remember if I had it in the evening or morning though.
