SOCIAL MEDIA


This year definitely felt surreal; I felt like I was living a dream I was unsure of describing. I know we've used and seen a plethora of words in attempts to describe the year, and to be honest it's been tiring to see them used over and over again.. but it is what it is. We need to acknowledge that it has been difficult, but we made it through.

I've always wanted to participate in an art challenge, though I never really did it. I knew these challenges would come around in October each year, yet for me, it would always either be: it would slip my mind and I would feel it's too late to join, or I wasn't sure I would be able to finish or be consistent with it until the end.


On making lots of art(with doubts) in October

I intended to read Killing Commendatore slowly; I initially aimed to finish it before the year ends- no pressure at all. But last weekend, I got hooked and couldn't stop leafing through each page, each chapter, until I found myself with only 100 pages left to go. Who was I kidding? I was bound to finish it before the month ends. In fact, I finished it just tonight, which is why I'm writing my thoughts to you dear reader, as I hope to convey them right away.

I'm writing a Recent Loves entry, because there are actually some things that I've been loving lately, and because writing is my chosen after-work activity for today ~

Long weekends this year are just a great blessing, really. I appreciate the extra day in a weekend to not worry about being productive.

Our ways of unwinding after work have surely changed this year. For me personally, unwinding before could be a dinner date with a friend, window shopping in the mall, or falling asleep and waking up in traffic (I don't like this one haha). Working from home now has challenged us to appreciate more the smallest ways in which we can unwind.

Whenever I think about the earlier months of this year, I remember some moments right away without having to think so hard or without the help of a photo reference.

Strawberries, Strawberries Everywhere

Being offline does wonders to the mind and soul, especially now when we're spending most of our time at home.

It's already July! And I must say that this is such a great feat, to be able to go through the year despite many things that may be weighing us down. Let's give ourselves a pat at the back.

Writings On My Planner In This Year So Far

It's been a while back since my last Recent Loves entry! The last one was in March, I believe.

How small comforts encountered while working from home lightened my week.

I've gone through my old blogs from the past years, and I've come to realize that I miss the kind of blog entries wherein people would just write about how their days went; plain and simple.

How's Your Weekend?

Today I listened to a bunch of productivity podcasts that are fitting for the quarantine season, and I wanted to share some of my insights as I listened to them.

Favorite Podcasts Lately #5

There are times when I would chance upon something unexpectedly interesting, something I wouldn't expect to find while I'm in the office. A recent encounter would be when I was going through a CV of a certain candidate (I work in recruiting), I saw she included a link to her "portfolio". I thought it quite odd that she placed it there, since I didn't think it was relevant to her application, nor would it have any significance to the role she was applying for.

As with every new year rolling in, it means it's time for a new planner/journal. Here is how I've been keeping a planner for the past 3ish years.
