And I’m back with another update. It has been 3 months since my last update and I’m lazy af to post anything. In those few months that I’ve been neglecting this blog, good things have happened–thus, this post because I don’t want to forget about these events. Yes, we are still stuck at home due to this pandemic, but the good thing though was we get to go out sometimes to visit our families and friends. I’ll just list down the things that have happened since I suck at summarizing things in paragraphs. Here we go:

• 08/03/20 | My mum’s birthday! It was so nice because we cooked and ordered tons of food and we got to be complete again. Finally got to use my instax cam again. Been itching to shoot!
• 08/23/20 | Got our mid-tier PC! Thanks to the 2 projects I got, I was able to buy something like this. We had someone with connections buy all the parts and build it since it was really hard to find parts for our desired build. Thank You, Lord, for the blessings.
• 08/29/20 | Kaye spent the weekend with us! It was supposedly just the two of us here at home but Asis’ plan didn’t push through so he got stuck with us girls. We spent our time playing Valorant, eating, taking photos, eating, catching up, and yes, eating. I missed that marupok!
• 09/19/20 | Kaye and I registered to vote. I also spent my weekend at her place and we basically did the same thing we did when she went to our place. We will never get tired of eating and making fun of each other.
• 10/04/20 | Spent Asis’ birthday with his family and I ordered this delicious yummy Mango shortcake at Sainte Anne Cakes Manila and it was gone in just a few hours. Can’t wait to try their Strawberry shortcake!
• 10/10/20 | My niece’s 1st birthday celebration and christening
• 10/11/20 | Got our customized work tables! We had a hard time looking for nice and cheap tables, so we decided to have it done by sir Donjie. Asis stumbled upon him on Facebook last year. He was also the one who made Asis’ first work table so yeah, we just gave him the desired measurement and gave a reference photo of the color we wanted, and voila, he did it! Really happy with the result.
• 10/17/20 | A day getaway in Antipolo with my highschool friends–Kaye, Tamtam, and Beni. We just went there for a change of scenery. We went to Pinto Art Museum and caught up with each other’s lives in Cafe Rizal, ate at Yellowcab, and at this resto-bar that has an overlooking view of the Metro. We went back after watching the sunset, and Kaye and I decided to kill time again at CBTL, UP Town Center.

Other stuff:

• Subscribed to Cinemalaya’s premium bundle. Got to see tons of great short films and documentaries in the comfort of our home. But yes, I still want to experience Cinemalaya in CCP when this corona-shit is over. And here are my top 5 faves (in no particular order): THE SLUMS, QUING LALAM NING ALDO (UNDER THE SUN), Igib, Mata, and Gulis (Lines)
• Hoarded more 35mm films and I probably won’t use them anytime soon anyway. I also have 2 used film rolls that I will send to the lab later.
• I bought a menstrual cup because I wanted to make the switch. I want to save money and reduce waste.. but I had a hard time putting it in. I’ll just keep trying again next time until I get it right. TMI
• I started buying stoneware mugs and cups. I bought my first stoneware mug in August and now I can’t stop buying and searching for more mugs! I actually buy stuff from the actual potters/ceramist/ceramicist (I really don’t know what to call them) and not just from sellers that got their goods from Japan surplus. So far, I got 14 mugs/cups and 1 drip coffee cone. And I still have 3 more mugs coming in November. I should start looking for a nice shelf for my babies.
• Still supporting small online businesses. Been buying and trying out their goods. Also, the reason why I’ve been gaining weight! Look how huge my face is! (≧◡≦) And I also bought a starter pottery kit. I got it in August and I’m finally planning on using it tomorrow. Can’t wait to make our own mugs!
• Got another Psoriasis flare-up due to the weather, I guess, and of course, stress. Isn’t it ironic how stress causes flare-ups but having Psor stresses the shit out of me? Ah, stress.
• I’m also planning on cleaning up this blog. Will revamp once I’m feeling productive. (⁀ᗢ⁀)
  

So yep, I’ll just edit this post once I got the results of my rolls. Btw, all photos are taken using instax and I just scanned and cropped them. Okay, laters! x
