A time for healing: Rediscovering my old hobby

It took a month for me to realize and finally get to my healing process. If you're wondering what I mean by "healing" it's the literal word of alleviating or relief. What was I healing for?

To be totally honest, I've been damaged emotionally. I've dedicated my time, focus and effort for a benefit of others that I myself was thought like "maleficent". I was devastated and just like maleficent I wanted to close myself from the outside world, I generalize thoughts that all people are the same as the ones who have done harm and became "absent" from online community. In doing so, I went out of my shell, met new friends, reconnected with the physical world and learned to looked at the world clearly. It was not easy though, in 2 weeks I feel the need to go back and doubted myself, but after those weeks I began to realize that isn't so and finally was able to get back on track of what my goals are, everything that happened made me realize that I should never forget my real goal, maybe it's time to be a bit more selfish and focus on attainment on that goal. I've had given so much to everyone but what I was given back was all negativity, I was not expecting anything from people but least the negativeness have trampled and made my goals dim.

Surprisingly, I was healed by an old hobby I love. Creating memories and documenting them, we really are too much indulged into the high-tech era that there are beautiful experiences we often miss. I sincerely thank you my supporters for helping me get back on track, you've all noticed the changes and helped me get up and stand on my feet again.

The journey really isn't about how hard you fall but how you were able to rise up from falling.

I am thankful that this happened, so I realize what I should focus on and be more eager to attain my goals. Amazing how the best teacher gives you the best lesson that you'll never forget and it's the proof of bountiful living. For you, that is confused, all I can say is be patient, like really patient. Sometimes, it takes years for the answer to come, but it will come, everything does happen for a reason and I've witnessed and seen it so just trust on the journey and enjoy what life has to offer.

Physical gifts I received this birthday

Hi There!

I've received cute gifts this birth month and would like to share them to you. First, I want to to thank Mom, Ms. Julie and Sis Loida for the gifts. They are all so cute and helpful, I can't wait to carry them with me.

Given by Ms. Julie, these Pastel undies are two match darlings, they are just perfect for pairing with my pastel clothes and would blend well with the fashion. Although, these babies are never seen me wearing on cam, they are candy to my eyes at times I take glances in mirror in it. This just sets the mood of the days fashion, now I know why yandere-chan prioritizes which undies to wear at school.

Courtesy of Ms. Loida,
A mini Hello Kitty pink wallet that fits not only phone but almost all essentials on the go. I plan to carry it inside bag but if I just take trips on neighborhood 7-11 or supermarket, these will be the capturing glances while I bring it.

Gift by Ms. Julie,

A White striped offset blue blouse that is just perfect for my blogging or cosplay gigs, its a good casual look but with a touch of elegance, right on time if I need to switch between my two roles on the same day. It can go from casual to classy just by adding beaded accessories, pairing it with a cute skirt or slacks and many more, possibilities are endless, the best thing is that it has its own adjustable belt on place for fitted look.

Gift by meaw

A lazy phone holder. He gave it to me for comfort when I'm streaming or watching on my phone. What I love about it is that it's rotatable from landscape to portrait.

So, there we go, the last one is a special paper from mom, but can't snap a pic of that. Later, she gave me this super loli pantsu.

Thank you so much again, I know most of you guys are living far away and you've sent me great gifts, I love you all~

The best birthday gift of the year

Today is a very special day. I've been blessed since day 1 of the month but the greatest gift is being felt given to me.

I would never have realized it sooner, but when the situation came, I've found that I am in fact the most blessed with a great gift this birthday special..

Many times, each year I would be looking forward to having physical gifts. Like a normal girl, I loved dresses and cool stuff that is given every birthday. They are precious and I love them.

On stepping forward with another age, I've come to realize that pure happiness bearing the ultimate gift of all can be found only with a very simple thing as my family's safety.

Yes, because I am extremely thankful that our home didn't get too much damage from the typhoon that's above us during my celebration of birth. There were countless disasters everywhere, including near my mom's workplace, but with God's grace, she wasn't there when it happened.

I've come to realize that I only wanted one thing only for my birthday, and that is to keep safe with my family and nothing more. Maybe it's just how the way a person matures and realizes overtime, that no material thing can ever top of a everlasting happiness that you're safe and sound with the persons you love the most.

Life is getting tougher for everyone nowadays and social media has kept heating up issues almost everywhere, so many heartaches and disasters everywhere that I can no longer stand and the only thing that keeps a person strong and intact with all these challenges in life, is non other than a genuine person who believes in them, encourages and leads them to grow. No other wealth or expensive gift can top that, so if you're a blessed one, cherish every moment you have with them. Nothing in this world is constant make sure you spend it with them.

Life is really short, for me its so limited time and I despise the human frailty as weakness, I admit that I am searching for more time to fulfill many things that me and my family dreamt of building together, I feel down sometimes when I know that these dreams we share can take up even a second lifetime to fulfill, but I believe that I must continue this dreams that we created together.

Mom wanted me to become a medical advocate and I would love to serve for my country the same too, but due to some instances along the way, the road has been blocked, with that in mind, I did not stop and conquered the dreams in small ways I could possibly can. I've shared my knowledge to help people with their cases and surprisingly prevented any future worsening condition from happening.

Dad and I had a talk before he passed away, we both agreed on same dreams of becoming a legal advocate, I have passion with it and he liked the idea of having a daughter who's able to defend and fight for what's right. The dream did not pursue though, but every moment I am faced with a situation that needs the same, I've utilized every resource I have to fight and defend what is supposed to be done.

Now, it doesn't end there, I've been working on a project which became a real long term of more than 4 years already and I am ready to finish it, these dreams are shared and so many have sacrificed just to fulfill this, the road is not only rocky but having typhoons too, it feels like I am never going to survive, but I believe I can, as long as I don't stop and continue.

My birthday is memorable. I'm continuously being blessed and my dreams are all coming true. Being guided by everyone and growing together, I felt even closer. Sometimes though, I get mood swings and thoughts cloud my mind as if I am not being given attention, but I say this to myself, you're not the only person going through tough times in this world, everybody might be busy battling but they will be there for you when the time comes. Just hang on tight, for now, be patient and God will soon send his angels to look after you.

Longest Birthday gift celebration

When the clock stroke 12 and September 1 came, I received a great news of gift, lots and lots of opps and sponsorships contacted me especially a great deal of doing the things I love the most. I felt like I was dreaming already but the dream did not stop there. Continuosly, I received new celebratory gifts each day and even had the chance to be invited for a local tv show. I literally did not blink for more than 10 minutes, so shocked and kept telling myself I am not dreaming at all!

A gift to be paid in doing what you love
Then much more than that, schedules for the gift have been extended till October, its a big OMG. Often times, if you'd probably see my tired eyes during streams are because I've been up and awake cherishing and fulfilling the gifts, but even with the stream itself are the gifts! Hehehehe.

I've had so many great birthday celebrations from everyone throughout the whole month and I am overwhelmed to receive such blessings even from strangers I don't know, turned out to be a fan! Thank you!!

This month I've had a hard time documenting the gifts I received so I am placing them here as my Diary, to remind myself that I am appreciated and loved by so many people, I feel complete!

The gift of youth
The best gift I ever received was everyone mistakes me for my age, when you guys have told me that I am in this certain age and was not able to guess my real age even with so many tries, this gave me the best compliment in the world! Thank you!

When Birthday comes some say that this is another year added to a person's age, that is a fact. For me though I chuckled a lot because with my birthday coming up in a few days I've been told that I am years younger than what they expected, of course, I am quite happy and overjoyed, but it did not stop there when people started offering me sponsorships that are for a younger age. This give me a real chuckle, I feel extremely flattered already that these opportunities for younger people are offered to me.

Izakaya cuisines at home

Then every single day, I was laid down with the most sumptous cuisines my heart desires, the chef even went away just to hunt the rarest and freshest quality gourment. This is literally a dream come true. I do apologize if I wasn't able to snap in pictures, most of the time I would forget because I was so indulged in the moments, I often forget to capture! Goodness me...

But, with a good happiness shared along the way, I been more than fuelled with motivation to finish every collaborations and sponsorships with you. I'm keeping everything on schedule and without delay.

Upgrade to Ultima
It took a while and lots of patience was needed because we had been planning to upgrade my PC to its Ultima and the package finally arrived! Wohoo ! We rushed to a nearby comp. Technician to have the pieces installed and damn my baby is no longer a baby but one hell of a monster ready to devour anything that gets on its way, we tested and did the ultimate stream with it and so you now know I am now everywhere whenever I stream, no more lags!

The gift of Beauty
My sponsors saw that my skin hasn't been maintained and its all my fault for not maintaining it at all, so they had me do skin treatment where all the stars go in secret because of its effectivity. This was a sworn secret though I can't disclose, but after a day or a few hours of treatment my pimples cleared and damn it looks like I had korean hydration on my face every night in just one treatment. They were specialized for a busy lifestyle of stars that dont even need maintainance and had makeup even asleep, and with theirs, I can be myself, low maintenance at all and yes, I did have makeup when I sleep and still perfect skin. My only issue is that I haven't gone back for my eyebags treatment because I am lazy. Yes, admit.. Please dont tell my sponsors about this or they'll get mad. Omg. They were exerting so much effort to get me a healthy skin as possible and I keep telling them I feel that I dont deserve a grand treatment because Im not a star and they laughed at me and said "yeah, right and your facebook page live stream star says it all". Uuuuuuhhhh I feel really guilty!

With all the skeds lined up, I would always lie down in my bed and go straight to sleep because I get all tired from the whole day but I've always have smile in my face before I fell as sleep and beautiful dreams with all the wonderful blessings.

A good health and happy relationship
Lastly, a good health for my family. Everything is going great and strong for everyone, the best gift nothing can compare! Mom and meaw are both feeling great and they would ask me go to with them in their exercises and long walks, I'm just soo sleepy though because of my time difference. Nevertheless, so thankful for my cheerful healthy family.

Overloaded with kawaii-ness

Heyaa~~ How are you all? Today I got recharged with Kawaii-ness all (cuteness) over. I was walking in this mall at BGC when I passed by a really cute bag store. Having immediately seen their designs, my feet stopped moving and hand automatically reached out for the small cute bag. From far away glance, it was a handmade bag made out of cloth, until I confirm it is.

I knew I never have to pass the opportunity to pick it up and buy again because these type of bags exactly fits my needs to a simple grocery shopping or short walks to lunch. There were different sizes, it's a good thing meaw suggested that I check the size by testing out with my phone. There were some that were too small and didn't fit but this one that I have fit perfectly with the best pocket features of back zipper and separate compartment inside, did I mention that it's so soft and cushy that when I had the idea to pick up my candy type perfume scent, holy shit it the whole world suddenly looked cute.

That triggered all the inspiration around, I wanted to pair it with a cute wallpaper and I stumbled with continuous kawaii apps I feel like I'll have diabetes with all the sweetness look all over.

I thought that my wallpaper needed to pair with the cuteness of the bag so I looked for a wallpaper, the apps I downloaded all have features of raffle type chances to get either a wallpaper or the sticker above. That is perfect so I can test out my everyday luck and it feels like a game!!

They are incredibly functional and helpful. I wanted to decorate my photo with cute stickers and I searched and searched to find 3 irresistible apps. God, please extend my phone's internal memory. Hovering around the app was very easy as I only tap a sticker on the selection and the borderline adjustments are everywhere.

The apps name are as follows for the photo stickers:

Frank-remark Stickers
Kawaii photo
kansai cat stickers

Kawaii photo is used for photo editing while the stickers are used for messenger, the ultimate makeover to boring stickers you get on messenger.

I thought that was everything when I saw this app named Frank-remark Clocks for placing a cute clock, I got a cute one that blends as an app logo and I said no more I'm overloaded with cuteness already I might get overdosed.

You're not kidding as I blend everything with an icon pack of Asus' Afternoon tea, yeah I've definitely overdosed with cuteness. Have I told you guys that I also successfully attained Foie gras at Food Fantasy, 2 days before deadline and tears got into my eyes, cause getting her has been more painful experience but rewarding because she's my first UR magic caster with a base power of around 2000 already compared to my others which are lower. I want to share with all of you who play food fantasy, this is not mine, I got it from social media a complete guide to pairing your food souls.

A new challenge suddenly appeared in my app yesterday and used all my diamonds to inflict damage to this Philippine server Disaster / Boss Raids to level up Foie Gras immediately. I was the one who inflicted the first damage and was not aware that this battle is joined by other players to inflict damage on the boss.

I did not download this but I saw another kawaii app called Battery saver Flowery Kiss if you want it, it looks cute too.

This is not sponsored post but just usual kawaii hunting.

Reviving the inspiration

Yes I know it's been hard to keep on the theme for your blog since there are so many variety of blog posts that you'd want to share especially for a General blogger where I found my self Jampacked with all sorts of posts and kept it really hard on theme.

When I started the blog, I do not have a color scheme, until today~ hehe. I started with Pink then moving to white, black then gold. Amazingly, this theme I have right now helped a lot to bring all those taste together.

Choosing a theme is somewhat similar to mixing drinks or creating the perfect blend of coffee, tea or bringing together complimentary foods. Each piece are well thought of and studied to perfection. In my theme I have now, it had definitely hit the spot of the usual color palette that I use for photos, but damn so complicated to maintain.

Most times, there are photos that are so damn good but they are out of the color palette and it just breaks my heart not to feature them on the front page. To admit, I haven't touched my newest theme social medias in instagram or so because I haven't produced a photo intended for them. It was definitely different from the days I had so much inspiration, it just kept flowing endlessly and I had a tough time bringing them to life.

So I am writing this blog, to remind my self how to revive that inspiration which once sparked endlessly and how I can keep the flame going.

1. Set the Mood

The mood is the primary initializer for inspiration. It always starts there. The time you got inspiration there were factors that happened, including a change in climate temperature, find a comfortable spot much better if you can set the whole scene to your ideal inspiration set-up. Sometimes, when you find it challenging to do so, place on some good music that eases your mind and the latest visualization gift God has given to you (exclusive only to me). You know what I'm talking about right?

2. Don't feel down of all the negativeness around you, you need them because they are important ingredients to the inspiration booster.

Remember that some works of art came from certain emotions, if you have to be reminded that great poets gather their inspiration not only when their happy, but they produce more works throughout sadness, anger, fear, confusion and other strong emotions, don't be scared to get them out and channel them through your works, and soon you'd feel that it's easy to let go even that hate which you thought will never go away, felt more lighter than ever before.

3. Brush through with your inspiration idols

I know you remember this, but do this when you set the mood because it will not work if you are not comfortable. Sometimes, when in confusion, you're going to find it difficult to get the direction on where to start or whom to see. Spend a few minutes to think of your goal first and remember who are the ones who succeeded and check them out. This is a gradual process, sometimes, it takes all your inspiration idols to scroll through and you might not feel that inspiration even started actually, your mind is just processing everything, it is actually the time to pick the pen up and start with the masterpiece. Yes, do it even if you feel that it's not there yet.

4. When you found the booster, don't stop, rest but don't let the moment past.

On trance with inspiration, you'd find a height where in all ideas flow like Tsunami and you'd want to let them out but you are a little loli and unlike Tatsumaki of One piece, you don't have the capacity to lift objects according to your will, so just relax and take a breather. Place a note pad and pen near you, you can use notes on your computer if you feel so and jot each ideas one by one, don't rush. If there are ideas that could not be done within the span of your inspiration flow boost then just write them down. To document everything through pictures or words are crucial so that no ideas are wasted.

5. Set another day to re-boost.

If the above did not work though, you feel that your final output did not meet your expectations, set it aside first and then set-up another day to revive this inspiration. Don't rush. You can start on with small steps to get there. Good Music. Good Visuals and Good food. This time though, really think about what you want and try to attain them through smaller goals one at a time. The great feeling of
accomplishment whether small ones can lead to a spark of inspiration and motivation.

My newly discovered Talent: Seiyuu for games

When I was playing Monster Hunter and other games, which started last May at Geek Radio, you've liked how I dubbed the games, and therefore would love to share with you guys this dream Talent of becoming a game Seiyuu ( voice artist ) in the games I play. I dub in most of my games now and you can watch me there if you want.

I owe it to you guys for helping me train to enhance this talent. I've always admired Seiyuus who dubbed anime since I discovered them, I never would have thought that I'd be able to reach this dream.

Each and every small dream of mine, I was able to reach them because of all your support.

My realizations thought me how important Seiyuus are in a game, anime, or any form of art. They become the life of these works and lets the artist deliver the message effectively.

This is just perfect as I hold a Geek radio show which we can all enjoy music and sounds on our favorite genre. If you guys have any suggestion of what you want me to dub in games, just comment down.

Although there were many works that I've seen before which do not need voice overs and they were effective, still nothing beats to stimulate the sense of auditory for best results.

Lately, I am glad to have announced to all you guys the newest platform I am streaming to which is Nexus gaming app. The app is on beta version and the stream only lasts for 45 minutes each. I would be streaming starting 6 pm with 45 minutes interval every monday to friday.

As you have noticed on my tabs here at reshadollyprincess, a new tab LIVE has been added which provides my highest stream quality from twitch. You may follow me to get updates and send me donations located on the links below the live stream.

I upload my past broadcasts at my twitch channel so you may browse them.

The streaming would be a total of 3 hours, which usually is 2 hours before due to demands, and I am thanking you all for the acknowledgement and gifts you send.

The games I play and will play are as follows to look forward to:

6:00 pm - 6:45 pm ( Valkerie Drive)
7:30 pm - 8:15 pm (Black Rock Shooter)
9:00 pm - 9:45 pm (Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon: Another Story)
10:30 pm - 11:15 pm ( Dantes Inferno )

I've finished Monsters (stole) my princess and hands down to Valkerie Profile. I would try to continue with Dantes Inferno if I can.

In the future, I am looking forward to more of the great program additions, especially on the music side. So, follow me for more updates.

How I keep comfy at work from home

The beauty of working from home lets you be comfortable and extremely economical. Economical in the sense that you've invested in the gadgets and set-ups that you're going to use in the long run. I've read a lot of blogs of how dreamy it would be to work from home and spent an entire 2 years saving up to achieve my goal.

I am not a stay at home mom but I do have my commitment to be my mom's guardian and a mother to 4 legged friends one of which has a temper to raise their quills most of the time. So when I got the chance to finally finish up all the requirements for working at home, it was definitely a lifelong achievement just like a Sims character achieving a long-term goal. I do have to worry of the constant flooding at home though, our location is not as strategic as others and little rain would mean knee deep soaking, plus a bonus of snakey visitors also making the house their temporary abode is never fine.

Moving on to my comfy buddies, these are the usual things I keep near my desk when the timer starts. My cardigan would usually dangle at my computer chair for easy access when it gets too cold, this little buddy would keep me warm and I love the feeling of my hands hidden inside the sleeves. I found this in a small garage sale from where I usually have a quick dinner if I am too tired to cook and guess how much I even had it? $1.00. That's true and the moment I laid my eyes upon it I knew that I found my soulmate, the owner said that she couldn't take off a stain at the lower part of the cardigan, so I consulted our trusty handmaiden who can do the job and it's all brand new! It's like the same feeling of how Jun in Jun's Kitchen resurrected a Japanese kitchen knife and for sure had that person regret the amount he sold it to. The size is XL, it's 2 times bigger than my usual size which is small but that's what makes it so special right? For me, bigger cardigans feel more like a huge pillow enveloping your skin is a winner. Sometimes I just get careful not to fall asleep though because when it can get comfy that makes me sleepy.

I have with me an oversized mug of sweet chocolate either warm or cold is fine, but I cannot consume coffee because I would palpitate, so if you can consume coffee, you are one lucky human. Don't be fooled, the mug is really an oversized version than your usual mugs, I got this for also $1.00 at Quiapo and life has never been the same with this mug. Why? it's actually one of my secrets why I get the supple skin, I call it my hydration mug, for when I needed much hydration this one sure does the job.

Besides the mug and the cardigan, I have my handy brush to keep my hair neat. My habit of combing my hair has become somewhat a way of bringing out creativity. I don't know it's like hair = creativity. No, really I wouldn't wonder why, because hair is a woman's crown, we all feel confident when our hair is beautiful, right?

Then my phone, to answer emails and messages from my clients. Sometimes, mistaken by others that I ignore the message but actually, I am at work and I do avoid being distracted by non-work related messages. I have a high tolerance for answering them but I get misunderstood even if I follow up later on. huh...

I wish facebook has a status update at messenger too... I could put: "At work in facebook" Status, which I feel won't be believable for others. If you are wondering what's on that white pouch it's actually my beauty makeup and skin care regimen. I keep them handy when I need to go to live camera, you still have to be presentable even though you are at home or even just be beautiful to boost confidence is also enough. Well, it saves me a lot of time because after work when I'm too tired to cook I just eat out and I don't need to use my time to put makeup because they've been applied. Did you also know that makeup is set well and blended up better after work?

There you go, this is the things that keep me comfy at home. How about yours, I'd love to hear how you make your self-comfy at home or at work. What do you think? can you share it?

Yes, it will...

When everything is too overwhelming and nothing seems to work all you have to do is to slow down a bit...

You're probably into an adrenaline

until now but take really slow deep breaths focusing on slow inhale and exhale, and just

think of the happiest event of your life.

This is your first step.

Now, you may have piled up those tasks or dilemmas

but you won't be helpful enough until you pull yourself together.

For now, what you should do is to slow down a bit.

Is it possible to take a vacation? Or maybe just a short walk?

Or just stay at a park or beach side

where there are less people around and

you can have your own space.

With that space,

try not to think about your problem

but focus on creating happy moments only,

like stare at the sunset or feel fresh air, create a sand castle, take a swing.

Why not grab in a pair of headset

or if you are alone turn the

sounds on with smooth favorite music that helps calm you...

Just remember.

You're not in a race.

Everything is just an illusion

to keep you distracted of what you really need to achieve.

Some are merely just challenges.

Don't worry about it too much. It will all be okay.

When all has settled in try to reflect and ponder on for your next action plan.

Now, its time to prioritize what you should do first. Which has most importance?

What should you first do?

Yes, it will...

Take a snapshot of what's in front of you

I got it from a post. It says a challenge... I wanna get a glimpse of your life, take a snap of what's infront of you.

I was lying down in bed when I read this and turned my camera on and snap a photo of our ceiling with seem to need some cleaning.

Actually, I was also very curious as to what others might have answered. I wanted to take a little peak in their life, see how my friends are doing.

While for others, this has become a thread of envy.

Nowadays, we often compare ourselves with others and we fail to see what is in front of us. We fail to be thankful of the blessings because we think others have better ones and frustration sets in.

We actually have so much that we should thank for, including just your gadget with you that has capability to connect with the world or even just a simple breathe that others struggle to have.

Be thankful for this once and you'll feel that sense of satisfaction that you got all that you need and you're all set to make a difference.

Upon examining my shot, I realized I am this close to achieving my dreams. I have come so far and I'm almost on the finish line, I just need to hang on quite a bit, do some effort to reach it.

what about you? can you share to me the snap shot of whats in front of you and comment it?

The heat is on

As I scrolled through my feed, almost everyone in my circle are thinking of a quick summer getaway. They have uploaded their pictures of their adventures which of course involves the sand, beach and somewhere cold. I, on the other-hand have stayed at my room and staying cool as I can. I visit the condo once in a while to swim but most of my time I am at home. People thought that they'd be so many who use the swimming pool but actually it's the opposite.

Berkeley residences in Katipunan remains to have seldom swimming pool goers so I enjoy the pool all by my self all the time. I get to refresh and revive myself unlike going to public pools. What I just hated the most though is that the new management requires to pay a P150.00 per person swimming pool fee for other tenants than us which makes them a total klutz, how about our monthly tenants then? well, I am on total snob with them for now because I hate their corrupt management.

Now, don't wonder why I'm always looking pale white because I mostly skip summer, more likely celebrate it before and after summer season. Yes, if you remember I did mermaid-ing already, I consider that my summer getaway and since I did not want to be toasted to the sun, I scheduled it to start immediately before summer season even started.

For a digital nomad like me, summer may not exist because you can work anywhere, anytime! well, I love my life online but I hate the heat of the sun. It's hard to focus on a monitor when you have heat cramps all the time.

There was never a day where I never felt a small headache or migraine due to this heat. I did all my means to keep cool even to make a homemade Kakigori or placing ice on top of my head. My God, Global super warming! Even more, that my energy is low during these season.

I noticed it's not only me who experiences these but I've found out most people have been affected by this hot season. Even my bestfriend feels vertigo due to this heat, I would understand since I visited provinces near her and damn it feels like I am in desert and I won't be able to last so soon with that.

1. Sweet cool beverage/ ice cream

Ice cream is on demand at our household, the whole gallon. It only takes us less than 3 days to consume those sometimes in just a few minutes even, imagine how this temperature affect us, ice cream actually helps a lot especially with low sugar levels since I seldom have appetite due to heat then I work, I become hypoglycemic all the time, so this keeps me going until such time the temperature gets lower and I get to cook a meal.

2. Sour type soup

Choosing a meal is as tough. Nothing seems to satisfy me, I would choose not to consume any food because the heat had terminated my appetite but I had a few sour soup which helped regain hunger.

3. Love your chores

There is but one thing that also kept me very cool and I never thought I would like to do this because the next is actually house hold chores. Yes, You've read it right. House hold chores involving water, washing the dishes and doing early morning laundry. They actually kept me cool as long as I re-hydrate all the time and not push my self too much they do help lower the temps.

4. DIY cooling pads

During my working hours, to avoid overheating I would place in some cooling pads on my head. I just do these and insert the iced sheets on wear it with a band. I have these small ice packs that are slim and perfect fit for these cats and it work wonders. I could switch this to a cooling eye patch when I want to! :)

Just make sure to add in a lot of extra plastic so that water won't drip.

5. Frequent Bath

Taking frequent bath may seem to be a chore but it definitely helps a lot to cool down. I schedule baths in the morning and afternoon to keep cool before heat turns on and after the sun has gone down so I could sleep nicely. My bathrobe became my most frequent attire to wear who cares? its summer and it's like you're always wearing towels on the beach, right?

My baby Moe youth years: Throwback Saturday

My Favorite anime poster collection from early 2000 and up.

Back then, the most favorite thing I do was to collect different pictures of my favorite anime series printed out on the white sheet of cardboard priced around P5.00 to P10.00 depending on the size.

They sell them outside our school and with just a limited budget of P20.00 a day, I would bring bento so as not to spend it on food and spend 30 minutes choosing between a wide selection of posters.

The sellers would sometimes get annoyed as to how long I stare at the posters and taking only a few that my money can afford.

Surprisingly, when my school budget went higher, this collection craze continued. I was gifted with more than posters by my friends like cassette tapes, CDs, figma and many more but I still look for posters to collect.

I definitely have no explanation as to why I love them so much. The second collection was texts or a wallet size picture of anime and I had a chest full of it, unfortunately, due to flood they did not survive.

I had all the posters up on a huge wall like a gallery and yeah someone would complain as to how weird and dizzy the pictures are in their eyes but I did not care. I am happy to channel my inner moe and see my favorites by the moment I open my eyes and close them.

Later I had realized that I am taken in by the how artistic anime was made by their creators, the main reason why I always look for the rare ones only.

I was also bullied for liking anime, believing and sometimes making my own story versions of them. It was a tough childhood that I am still experiencing until now, people back then we're not acquainted with Anime and they feel that it's like cartoons. Now, most people have known about it yet they bully faithful fans for many reasons. It's an unending struggle that I imagine fighting until my hair turns to gray.

Guess what, after years of struggle of Moe's like me, I see them become a unique individual compared to other people, their wide imagination made all the dream technologies, events came to life. Although I can imagine the struggle they have to overcome, whenever I see a dreamer my support is all out. I also see others support as well but they do so in a discreet manner which is great too.

The point is it's the ERA where dreams come true.

Now's a perfect time. Not tomorrow. Not later.
