    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights.

     chihuahua long coat


    My small peaceful days start with her.
    Her big googly eyes widely staring as she tries to wake me up.
    She knows when its time to wake up. 
    She would do her best to make sure I get to wake up on time.


    It might not look like it, but even before the word "Quarantine" came into trend, I was already in quarantine at home and doing work online, or even before when I was still in high school back 2002. I'll just watch anime most times.

    The technology is so much better than it was before and I never ran out of things to do or take my interest in. 

    When she came, I never really thought that I could enjoy my Hikikomori life, even more, ~ She is so adorable that I feel I don't deserve her sometimes. 

    I am enthralled at how fast she picks up her training lessons, I think maybe it's because I make it look more like a fun and exciting game rather than making it look more of a training, but still, she gets a new lesson in a few minutes.


    She's the type who couldn't handle too much excitement, especially when she discovers something new, she goes gaga over it and couldn't handle her bladder. I even remember how much she stared at the rain when she first saw it. Most times she is mistaken as a cat, I wouldn't attest that her companions were cats before we had her. 




    When there is so much tension in the air, it's like she can understand. She would draw attention to her and do her cute moves. In an instant, my face frown becomes a smile and my heart feels light. At one time, I was on real stress and it resulted in terrible gastritis again. She stood by me and check all the time, although she does seem to be confused, I can see her worried reactions and watched me like a hawk until I got better. 

    With all these wonderful things she has given to me, she only wants a tummy rub. oh, she's such a darling. I really wish I could have given her more. Before COVID, we had planned to go on a trip and I was going to take her with me, but the times have changed. Yet, our minute, hour, or second we spend on each other is far precious already, and going on a trip with her will be a great adventure for both of us. Maybe, we'll do that at the right time.

    Chihuahua at desk, dog at desk, working with the dog


    What am I up to lately? Yes, I've been really busy with work as the usual. However, I would also be indulging myself to interesting things that I love doing while I can. Lately, I've taken up a creative project that make time go really fast! Meaning, that I got so indulged in what I was doing that time passes by so fast and I that I do not even feel it. When I finished a milestone, the client got so enthusiastic and excited for the next project and kept on bugging me to finish the next one, especially when he saw the progress. Once again, it got to the point that client got really excited with my project and sulked when I took a time off due to overwork. It seems I'm dangerous when I indulge myself in something, I tend to give my best and when clients like it, they 'order' for more, not ask for more, 'order' is the phrase because they tend to get bossy later when the job was done more than they expect, they tend to make a freaking Santa list! Of course, that would usually make me lose the time I have for other things that I want to do or for other clients~ Time is the most expensive factor when one becomes an adult. 



    At most times when I get really stressed out and I need something to really keep my mind off from the stress, it seems playing STARCRAFT once again has made me hooked up on the game even though I keep freaking losing to my partner. We are still thinking of other games we could play together like as a team but battling with each other doesn't seem to be a really bad idea.


    Time taxi, Sutekina Sen Taxi, edakaware manga


    Lately, we we're watching 'SUTEKI NA SEN TAXI / Time Taxi' and I was asked what I would I want to do over in my life? That I answered  none. Why? Because so far everything went on as I want it to be. Although, there were some hiccups, it's nothing that can't be fixed anytime soon. Oh, I recommend the 10 episode series of Japanese Film 'Suteki na Sen Taxi / Time Taxi' I love it and watch one episode a day. Well, just a reference my partner set because he didn't want to finish the series all in one go.



    Oh, also I got the news lately of Kiss Anime shutting down. It's so sad and the same as others I feel terribly empty... especially, when they announced they'll upload anime titles by 2021, my eyes probably becomes like a Nightwalker by the time they upload it to YouTube. Most people knows that pirated media is bad for the industry and even I as an animator gets affected by the harassing rates we get from making anime but seriously, the timing was incredibly terrible especially in the time when most people are inside their homes due to Pandemic and everyone relies on entertainment online. For me, since I could not even take my stress walk outside, I could only rely watching anime at home. I rarely put any budget for watching anime and this time I still hope I could still watch them for free. Of course, if they will add ads or sponsorships I would understand and not skip them, but please let us view them for free. I beg you~ Well, I wouldn't want to resort in pulling my underground strings just to watch anime for free.


    During our food break, my partner would whip up something good just to make us feel motivated for work during the day. It has been tough for me that I could not even go to the supermarket to browse things I would want to cook for the next day as we got back to MECQ and the virus gets mutation. Speaking of which, my friends are telling me to switch into an upgraded gear for protection, they said the one that they gave me initially might not be effective protection from the new mutation and I will really need to look & buy one myself since even they could not find and get one except the one they use for work. Things are getting really tough.... So! What we do is be creative for our meals and everything feels rewarded and charged when we eat good food that we love.

    I had a dream. My family knows that whenever I do, there's something that needs to be heard. They've gotten used to it, most of the dreams I told them about impending deaths.

    This time it's about a staff dinner with my former alma matter, St. Patrick's school's Principal (Violeta Lantin) treated everyone for a dinner. She was there, it was like a nostalgic recollection.

    She announced that she made the parents write what their children needs and will raffle it. 

    She picked up my moms name, she read that mom wrote that I needed a laptop and called me upfront to confirm if I do, I said said no, I don't really need it and turned back to my seat. By the time, I got back to my seat, she was gone. 

    I looked everywhere on what the staff were eating, and they were having a delicious hotpot in a black wide earthenware pot, it looked so delicious that I was almost about to dig in. Gladly, my guardian helped me and not let me eat, well, you're not supposed to eat anything in the other side or theres no turning back after al
    Crab egg hotpot





    I wish I can try the soup, it looked like it was sauteed like liziqis' with the mushrooms (enokitake) and added a bit broth, the aroma of garlic and spices almost called me to the other side!~ 

    Anyway, when I was awaken with meaws call from his relatives that someone was needing a computer repair help, the kid would be learning online and would be enrolled at St. Patrick soon. 

    Mushroom chili hotpot

    I was surprised and told him about what I dreamt. He said that maybe Principal still oversees her students and students-to be even after death, especially that education is greatly affected due to pandemic.

    Up until now, I am convincing him to cook that hot pot for me.

    . Thursday, May 07, 2020 .





    Oh yes, I admit~ I keep on getting confused about the Celebrations and Events, I thought that my Google Calendar would even give me a hint~ except that it didn't. I just found out later while scrolling the Facebook newsfeed and an ad popped out, "Give a gift for your Mother on Mother's day" and I quickly stood up from my desk and hurriedly checked my laptop, "Oh God, when is Mother's day?"

    So Mother's day is just a few days and what's worse, we're quarantined at home!

    Mother's day gift gift guide Mother The Spark's Bistro

    Here I was checking on every coupon site that can offer a great deal, but most I've seen would require you to go out, which is dangerous at the time of Pandemic, right?

    I even looked out for a Photobook, as I was thinking it would best to give her something of a memory, but the shipping takes 7 days! I don't have 7 days to wait! Plus, again. It's a quarantine period. I can't go out!

    I was stuck in a loophole and later on, I got tired in the loophole of search, since it was like 3 am in the morning, I was definitely exhausted only researching what I can give to my mom. 

    For now, I will retire for the evening...I said to myself.

    Okay, I surrender for now~ but of course, that's one less day and the clock is ticking.

    Every moment I spent will soon be another day less.

    I slept for a few hours, and gladly when I woke up, I felt refreshed and ready to take on another day. 

    This time I've played on search keywords and scrolled again through endless Mother's Day Ideas. Most of them offer you to buy.  Yeah, you've got to be kidding, there's no way that's arriving on time!


    So I checked forums, it seems that Moms love it more when you give them something that supports their passion, especially those that they focus more on or they hope to do or spending most of their time.

    If you're quite the observer, it's when you're mom makes them motivated, ones that are keeping their sparkles in their eyes.

    My mom has two things she loves most, 

    Her garden and another is her life aspiration of becoming a writer.

    I remember that Mom could not get her hands on some gardening tools because of the quarantine, however, we have a runner in the house who do shopping in the local grocery store, and I remember that they have a mini gardening section there. 

    There I thought to myself, "I was thinking way too far", the answer is just easier this time because people cannot go out of their houses, most of the perfect gifts are simpler because the things that they would not only want are those that support their need! Especially on these times...

    Our runner suggested to also buy cake, although I am not sure if he would be able to acquire some especially that a Special Holiday is coming near.

    I also think that giving her an ebook app about gardening or a funny short story niche or a good magazine subscription would be the best in combination with the Gardening tools and the cake. Otherwise, if the cake is not possible, I already have some flour here and I could whip up a simple cake in the kitchen, she would appreciate it more if we keep low in the sugar part, gladly the small weighing scale for food arrived a week ago and I can keep watch on the measurements if needed. 


    I hope this would turn out well~ cross fingers* but if you find yourself stuck with ideas on what to gift your mom or wife this Quarantine period, let me know, and let's brainstorm on the last-minute gift for her. 

    You can write to me in the comments or contact through my contacts page. 




    . Thursday, April 16, 2020 .




    Early January before COVID-19 was announced as Pandemics, several of my friends who traveled and gone abroad or on frontline duty shared their stories on how they survived, even back then there were no test kits yet and could not prove that it is the disease itself.

    Most of them did not receive treatment as they were only regarded as regular flu and was just sent home, some others were only regarded as PUM and were as well sent home They've shared with me how they were able to make it through and recovered without confinement or intubation.

    They've experienced these symptoms, the only difference is the time time of onset of symptoms and severity:

    Vomiting
    Diarrhea
    Coughing
    Fever
    Chills
    Body Aches

    COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATIONS on explainitmedicine

    These on top with the most dangerous symptom: DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING later on.

    So, here's what they did:

    1. Vomiting and Diarrhea

    Some of the first unbearable symptoms most of my friends felt, they focused on REHYDRATION and ELECTROLYTE replenishment
    Solution:


    a. Rehydration drinks, Isotonic drinks used for sports
    b. For vomiting, salted biscuits, they actually ate corn chips, any chips as long as its not oily and nuts.

    2. Coughing

    The experienced a lot of coughing, which they use the following:


    a. Menthol candies or throat anti-irritants
    b. Vicks or alcamphor spread in the neck (skin)

    c. Honey, calamansi ginger tea

    3. Difficulty of Breathing

     Solution:



    A. Vicks or alcamphor


    B. Hot bath for vasodilation  ( up to 8 times hot showers or bath)

    Yes, the my friends almost became mermaids staying on hot showers, it helps a lot to breathe because of the warmth from the water, however, they did mention to always put a cold compress on the head every time on the hot bath to avoid heatstroke.


    C. Vapor steam or 'Suob'

    This helped my friends to breathe better because of the warm vapor.





    4. Fever

    My friends experienced above 38 degrees celsius fever and each time they feel that a fever a starting they try their best to lower it down and prevent the body temperature to go higher.

    Solution:


    A. Ice packs on the forehead or towel that was dipped on ice and water even while on a hot bath.

    5. Chills and body aches

    While on a hot bath, it was mentioned that both body aches were relieved because of the warmth and since its the water is warmth thus chills are addressed as well.

    Warning: Always have ice compress on your forehead while having a warm bath to prevent heatstroke.

    a. Hot bath




    Of course, it does not mean you that you should not have your self checked, it is important that you do have yourself for a check-up, my friends have themselves monitored all the time until such time they turn negative and a test kit arrived, the good news with that is they lived without going intensive treatment, and it's not because of their strong immune system, actually, most of them even have underlying diseases like hypertension, diabetes and asthma and other even get exposed from nosocomial diseases. Since there is no cure yet, they advised focusing on not only increasing the immune system but also alleviate and focus on the symptoms felt to avoid certain shock or death.

    . Thursday, April 09, 2020 .



    Due to covid, our guest wanted to cancel her reservation, I've advised her to cancel it on the day she will check-out but instead, she altered the reservation, means she would check-out early on.

    I accepted the changes to this reservation which incurred charges on my account.

    That's where the fault was made. I should not have let the changes happen and let her cancel the reservation instead.


    Later, an announcement was made by Airbnb that they will issue full refund to the guest who cancelled and hosts get no penalty and additional 25% from the calamity extenuating circumstances.

    It is a calamity for us, since we got charged for the cancellation. When I was asking if there's any help we can have for hosts, unfortunately since the changes in the checkout date were done, we wont benefit from the calamity insurance.

    This lesson is a big lesson to me. We still need to pay for the rest of the cancelled reservations and I feel crying, however, I could not disclose this to mom as she is already stressed out with the situation, she needs the funds but all I can do is to just stare blankly on this calamity that befall us.

    Update:

    Besides the charges from Airbnb cancellations, Meralco (the electricity company) charged us even though we do not have a guest. I'm crying.

    Trixia Salonga in Rosalinda cosplay with grandfather
    Around 10 years old attempt of Rosalinda cosplay with grandpa


    Grandfather prepared and warned me about this future over and over. He stressed that there will be a time that will come that we won't be able to go out of the home freely as we wish to and that a 'silent war' might happen.

    'But I thought countries are all friends now' I said. 'For now' he replied and continued giving me instructions on how I could prepare for such a situation. Grandfather is a world war veteran, he is a role model among our family. He was one who walked in the death march, carrying all the strategies on survival as well as intel for years to come.

    As the years passed, everything he taught to us we're slowly forgotten, some of it even we're forbidden, but I remembered. Now, I feel most at the guilt that I could not carry on his mission to me. However, I met someone with almost the same frequency as his, although sometimes careless on a side but there are points that are on him. He said that the orders can be carried out easily but when such a time comes that we can freely do it.

    A month ago a friend went out to visit his mother ( a senior citizen ), he went all out protection with mask and suit, people laughed at him on his commute at the bus and didn't sit next to him. Later on, we found out that there were people there that have now carried most number of PUIs and PUMs cases in the country with the initial cases relating to his family's friends.

    Supposedly a 'reunion' of the sort from one of his relatives was not invited because only those that can join are the one's who worked abroad and with $. Then the news broke out, it was just like karma to the ones who discriminated against his relatives and a blessing to his relative that he was forbidden to join. The incident paid the price for everybody in the whole region because they were already warned not to travel at that time due to the events, but they pushed through with the 'reunion'.

    Now, when he traces his travel time, he said he did notice some of these people traveling in the same direction as his and they kept a distance from him because they think he might be weird or infected for being on full protective gear. All these stigmas turned out to be a thankful moment when he realizes that he might have gone on the same bus with these people and the sacrifice was worth it.

    These days when he goes out, instead of being feared or judged, people trust him even more since he has the complete protective gear, unlike others.

    I promised grandfather that I would protect his precious gem, but sometimes I have to be honest I give commendation to the old man how he was able to. The gem is stubborn as hell even when everyone around it has warned about this issue, the gem does the opposite of what shouldn't. I left to mumble my apologies and tears to his ghost of how this slips off my hands. He did warn me about the stubbornness of the gem and I underestimated it when I was around 10 years old, promising that I'll take care of it for him.

    Back then, I feel I'm left with no choice and didn't understand why it feels that the universe wanted me to stay working at home. I am faced with consequences when I became stubborn and stayed working at a company. I thought to myself, my promise I made to God that I'll just train outside for a while is up and I kept on going, I too am stubborn. Now, I understand why I am pushed to my limits in seeking work from home. All my prayers answered in one event, just like that.

    The work from home wasn't the only thing that God gave to me. He trained me to survive not going out, did that at Tamago and it was worth it. I didn't understand the value of these experiences before and now they don't compare to any lesson in the world.

    When the news broke out to me, I've already seen posts from my chinese friends, yet, it feels too unbelievable so we didn't prepare at first. Now, it seems that it will turn out for worst. As their government says they are free of the cases, some of my chinese friends caught footages of their fellowmen on the floor, passed out and no one dares to touch.

    My collegue told me, there would be wave after wave of resistance and immunity. It will be turning out for the worst. I only felt a feeling of envy at the time I saw my doll idol and I never thought I'd feel envy again with South Korea. My friends there posts like normal again, as their medical systems on detection and quarantine we're so effective, it only took them short time to solve the worldwide issue. It seems to be far from my hopes as more people become stubborn and won't abide by the quarantine even for a short month's period.

    He told me that the funds would need to focus on detection, facilities and equipment for quarantine to make this work amd that he fears that by sometime the special 'team' would be dispatched soon, which should not be brought to that extent as they are one of the last line of expertise for this scenario. It can't be avoided, because the wave seems to focus on a macho showdown and they'll be awaken by a time that all are worse.

    I feel down and to be honest, my productiveness dwindled immensely. Anxious of everyday especially hearing news that there already affected area a few villages away.

    It's a no wonder grandfather always wants me to fulfill my dreams. He says that not only did they not have this opportunity before, but a time will come that we might be able to do these things when people take them for granted. Looking back, I've fulfilled most of the things I love to do, although I still have plans for more in the future but they would be prioritized according to importance, there would be changes to come and I am hoping they come true.







    . Friday, November 29, 2019 .


    The sound of the trumpet that had a very nostalgic feeling and the flow of the music that I recognize. One day I woke up with my dreams of music that I love so much, it was an incredible feeling, to be able to wake up in that beautiful hymn. 

    The sound was Miaka - Romantic (Seiiwo Muneni) from Fushigi Yuugi, I remembered that I found a post that Watase Yuu would be continuing Fushigi Yuugi, the memories and the same feeling that I had back when I was young came back to me. The excitement of a new Manga from the series that I've loved so much was priceless. It was such an energy and that overwhelming feeling of something to look forward to, remembering dreams and aspirations reminds me of the essence of life. 

    I've looked back and I felt peace, for when I remember back then, my dreams were mostly just created by my imaginations, but as time passed by, all were exceeding my expectations and everything has been set like a red carpet. I could never have done it without everyone's support.

    Looking back there were so many things I did not expect to do such as becoming a Radio Streamer DJ or a game streamer, be called a blogger or a cosplayer, those were titles I never even knew about before and I feel blessed tremendously since I never really expect these to happen before. Nowadays, I keep myself on a low profile and most of the time I focused on my other dreams, some other dreams that I never share in some of my social media or blog, and I couldn't have planned such a blessing to come in my way. There may be happenings that go out of my hand but the beauty of this age, I learned to accept. When I did, everything became as light as feather and I realized, I definitely wasted time worrying for the things that cannot be changed, when I could just spend more time and be kind to myself, It does give back genuine happiness. I remember the experience that made me realize that the best gift of all is that I am alive, all well, still with a roof over my head, eating the most delicious delicacies in the world and with a great future around me. 

    Nothing in the world is forever, so as your sadness, loneliness or despair. Remember that this will pass just don't give up. Most of the times though, I remember my experiences of the afterlife and it was never an option to give up because I've been to that realm and I tell you, I'd rather stay alive because the worse that we feel here, is far worse than we'll feel there and the other worst than that? It's forever, so yeah, I'd stick to living on earth.

    Now that I've set myself to new goals and aspirations, I am truly excited about the new journey, this new journey that I will have is to continue what I started when I was young before they coined that term. I can't say for now but I hope it will be a fun ride. I can't wait, and just like the song that rang on my ears while I was waking up, I hope that it can be as hopeful and bright, but whatever comes I surely will enjoy the memories. 




    . Sunday, October 27, 2019 .



    It's October and as the year is about to countdown soon, I can very well say that we have been blessed with bountiful blessings of delicious food. I can say so with my photo gallery is all filled with food! We cooked, discovered and dined to new restaurants, tried new ones that just came out in the market and those little moments I had was truly fulfilling. I seriously didn't mind getting weight as long as I was happy and contented, we watched our diet by cooking at home and focusing on nutritious ones.



    I haven't even mentioned our fridge! Yeah, it was jam-packed we could not open it without things falling over. We cook and ate them as much as we can. I'm glad actually, that even though we haven't mobilized the farm yet, we have been blessed truly. I think we might need a bigger fridge once the farm is mobilized, or better yet give back to the community in my area. That sounds nice.


    Then food hubs opened near the area, yes! A lot of food restaurants, conveniences, hubs opened near us and it's like they know how much we appreciate a tasty treat! We also went back to some of our discovered places and found changes in our favorite picks.



    For now, I will be featuring Hawker-chan, well, my favorite there is The Aloe Vera drink. The vegetable noodles seemed like Senku's alternative ramen and the chicken has peanut aroma and smell. We dined here when we bought a stabilizer which exploded near my face, but the compensation has been paid by the manufacturer, so all is good.

    Anyways, I still have a lot of food pictures in my gallery, I'll be trying to share from time to time.  Next time again. 
    . Sunday, October 20, 2019 .




    Hi there! I guess The Blog is back for .com again, it turns out even if I was willing to let go, it's tough to face the consequence of having to pay for a recovery fee of $80 on top of the domain. Ok, I really am not ready for that, but what I learned for months that passed without too much pressure blogging was the freedom of well... not being pressured and I loved it. I still am up to my resolve of blogging just like how I do when I was starting out. No pressure blogging.

    Yep, I think I might want to coin that term now.

    Anyway, when the holiday season countdown starting at the time of my birthday, we went crazy busy, almost everyone at home got sick, tired or caught up common flu due to low immune system brought by lack of sleep, exercise, proper diet and such. I'm already canvassing on where I can get extra manpower for help. Stress is really high and I admit a few percentages of alcohol helps, although when our stored supplies ran out we might go the extra mile since they banned alcohol near my area because it's pouring of schools! Not the best place to be an adult, eh?


    Anyway, we got the Japanese only alcoholic beverage. We both two of each version since it was on sale at Puregold. It only has 3% of alcohol and we only drink once every 2 or 3 weeks so it's almost no effect but, alcohol in moderation does have it's medicinal benefits. I pair this up with many foods as I can and check the combination... it was heavenly!

    Oh yeah, if you're asking regarding my gastritis, gladly, I got it all under control. All you need is an ample amount of Fiber before you drink or eat any acidic or chili food, do it in small amounts and with food, never in an empty stomach and good to go. The only issue with my stomach nowadays is cold weather, I'm terrible at it and gets stomach pains whenever it gets affected by the cold. I get affected because I haven't brought my winter clothes down yet.

    I've been trying to sort out my dresses each time I can, but lately, the schedule has been overly demanding to health's point. So for the cold, I usually use my Kimono more often and I have a lot of them stored, just waiting for me to use them. I must apologize for the other clients that I wasn't able to answer, the busyness level is a champion to point that I only get an hour or so of sleep during the day and almost nothing during graveyard work, not to mention I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday on its month or had any cake because of this, although I am truly grateful that I get to be able to get better opportunities even before.



    Anyway, lately we dropped by Agribusiness at Circle and we found gems of budget quality products sold, all sustainable! Yes, we had bought things we need and we're planning to do it again! Regarding my sustainable life, we're still ongoing to that practice and it is rewarding.







     Then, we went to a garden restaurant I found on the internet, budget-friendly, and experience of eating without a spoon and fork again! To be honest, I was surprised they do it that way cause I didn't check, but that's the beauty of it, the location is beautifully hidden with a hide-away door.





    In the end, my domain just had a vacation. So did I and I would love to do it again.



    . Saturday, October 05, 2019 .



    I have finally reached this age where I am going to be prioritizing on taking care of my self more, focusing on what I want and continue doing what's right. I've thought about it for many times, how I want to declutter my whole life, when I started, I had tons of savings that I did not even imagine. I really was doing many unnecessary things, and they've taken my time away from me.

    One more step, I've been thinking about is I would want to go back how my blog used to be, just telling my whole life, That's it. I love doing extra gigs but I think its time I go back on focusing content I really want and I'm planning to step back even more, planning to get back to blogger domain. Yes, I'm leaving .com for now. Don't get me wrong, I love the opportunities I had with being in realm of .com, however, that's also where it felt like it shrouded the real path I wanted to take. I was happier and felt no weigh on my shoulders when my blog was not on business class, honestly I didn't know why I wanted to be in that domain address, I thought it just sounded nice.

    Its been a few months since I started on my decluttering series and it was life changing, I have more time focusing on what I love most, and even surprised on being sponsored to draw again which is one of my life goals.
    This seems more like a risk for some people I asked for opinion, but for me, its rather the change that I've been looking forward to, since afterall, when I made my blog I never intended it to be a competitive one, Its mostly to have all my beautiful memories stored in a visual or written form.

     A lot of people told me that I should make a new one, but I didn't feel like making something new was the case, after all, the fun memories I have with this current one I have, Reshadollyprincess, has only just started. I was just sometimes taken back by a few obstacles, but all the memories are now overflowing in my drive and shouting to be shared, and this does not include those I will be doing in the future.

    I got tons of sponsorship nowadays, but I've decided to filter those I can only do. I would love to have them all but I wouldn't push myself to the breaking point. Some people already noticed that I'm exhausted with living issues and I needed a break that will help me think of the things I should focus into.

    I'm also sorry for my bf, lately I needed time for my own and it was rewarding, I might be focusing even more for myself from now on. He says he's ok with it and even likes the fact that he sees me doing the things that really interests me. He knows I like what Im doing when hours passed and I said the time is too short I feel even more vigorous doing it. I gave him reward secretly on National Boyfriend's day as he supported me each day I focused on my goals.

    Lately, it was wonderful. I feel that my family from the other side has given me gifts and answers that I never thought of. They feel nearer to me , bf said its amplified because its their months, I miss them a lot, especially my dad, grandpa and grandma.

    So, with that ahead, I'll be looking forward for this new change, while I cherish each moment I have.

    I hope you also find your way and your certain contentment in life, because that's where the real meaning truly lies.

    In a few years time, clean air would be the most expensive of all. This concerned me after a painful encounter with our neighbors car gas cleaning in front. I feel that my lungs are cemented with car exhaust air. That explains why meaw's lung health has been worse and worse, but since he already had experiences of sort, he already have some plans to create a shielded atmosphere from all the house issues if it will be ours. The neighbors hide in our location to clean their gas air so that they will not get caught when they are in public highways, but this surely affected our health tremendously, although meaw keeps telling them to stop, they continue doing so. I don't know what to do really.

    Pictures of a greenhouse filled our mind as I fear that we could die sooner with this worsened air.

    Or we might just move into a province instead.



    This just gets worse and worse but I couldn't give up the location because it is convenient, and of course, complete.

    I told him that we should have most of facing on the other side where there are no cars, we only have issues with someone flashlighting nosy neighbors but its not a health hazard.

    I'm concerned that we could get to live longer with this kind of environment, so I must do the things I want to do before that tragedy hits me. Life expectancy is low in the city due to pollution.



    Theres always been a warning that in the future, air will be expensive. Yes, you'll be paying for it, thats why I could not give up the wide land area we have so we can have trees all around, and when we did a once year trimming, we all get worse affected by their exhaust. I feel guilty having to have them trimmed. It was done because the plants were uncontrollable, but next time I'll just let it be. It seemed to protect us from this issues. I can't wait for meaws blueprint to be implemented if possible.
    I plan to do it with our other lands, create a whole natural ecosystem oasis in this polluted world. That would be a dream.
