How Are You, Really?

My last post was way back in 2018.

That's pre-pandemic...

Gosh, I have so many things in mind that I want to let out and I'm just stuck. Haha.

I remembered this small blog...a little space for what-nots.

I smiled as I go over my drafts and old posts.

Maybe I should start blogging again.

It's therapeutic. Letting your thoughts flow just like water...

Whether it's garbage or a gem, it does not matter.

On a personal note, I just turned 4 years at my current company.

Whew! I thought I would not last that long... I was once asked how long will I be able to stay (implying I would not be staying for long..), I quipped "Two years!" 

I was promoted here albeit it felt so rushed... I was not supposed to be filling in the position, but I was chosen. I felt very stressed out, back in 2019. I am also still processing how traumatic 2019 has been for me and my immediate family. Few of my close friends even know about what I've gone through... I don't feel comfortable sharing it with them. They too have problems of their own and sharing mine would be adding to their burden...

Then 2020 came like a slap.... so many things I hated have happend. Hearing people suffering, dying, of the everyday drag of hearing the awful news about the governments' response to the pandemic. Constant abuse of power and corruption.

It's too much.

Sigh.

I wish to sort through all these thoughts... I hope I can somehow find relief in writing these thoughts here.

My small space... just thoughts coming in and out.

I feel like crying again but I could not cry.

I'm just tired, I guess.

Good night, don't mind me.

I was just thinking...too much.

Haul: Shoes - April 8, 2018

I realized I have been experiencing foot pain due to wearing flat shoes almost everyday... 6 days a week to be exact!

I actually prefer flats or "doll shoes" (as most people call it here), but then they do cause me some problems when worn most of the time.

Luckily, some shoes were on sale at my nearby Gaisano Grand Mall. I'm showing you what I got today:

1. GG<5 Black Bow Shoes, Size 6

- Got this for Php229.00 only! It said to be on sale but I was not able to see the original price on the receipt...


2. GG<5 Mint Green (?) Doll Shoes, Size 7

- I'll be honest I bought this because I really like the color, and it was on sale for only Php160.00 instead of Php199.00!


Now for these two pairs to last long, I will be sending these to a shoe repair shop to be manually sewn for added durability. It would probably cost me another Php120.00 for these two.

And that's it for today...haha.

What about you? Have you purchased something  for yourself today that you really needed?

Thanks for reading!

Welcome 2k17!

Whether you had a great time last year or not, it is still wise to stay grounded and hopeful this new year.

Here are some things that I am grateful for:

I am thankful that I am still alive and relatively healthy for some of my family and close friends did not make it this year...

I am thankful for we were spared by very strong typhoons last year...

I am thankful for I have a job that allows me to earn while I take care of my family.

I am thankful that even though we don't have a good place to stay in, we are still a family.

I am thankful for this life!



How about you? What are you grateful for?
