Grace, actually.

Hello! How are you doing? I just want to share something that I never shared publicly. Ever since 2019 happened, I've been so careful with making plans, making big decisions, because I might get in trouble again. Just a backtrack of what happened that year: I was assigned to a faraway place for a work opportunity which I grabbed for how much it offered.  I learned a lot; experienced and discovered many new things: career wise, new perspectives from people of different places, different cultures of places that I've never been to, and personal discoveries such as things that I can't do and things that I never thought I'm capable of doing. All of those yet I can say that I wasn't at my best that time. I thought it was the best opportunity for me. I liked the idea of being miles away from home. I fancied being independent apart from my family. It was the first time that I didn't have to see them everyday for a long time, which I liked since I didn't have to deal...

A Day Off

Today is my second day off for this weekend. I cleaned my bedroom and tried setting up the curtain rod that I bought for my bedroom's (actually papa's but I'm owning it now lol) window. I got a little frustrated with it because I didn't have a screwdriver to bury the screws so I had to use nails; another frustration was having only a rubber mallet (I googled the term, phew) available at home, and obviously, it didn't work. I don't know how not to destroy the rubber while hammering the nails. Smh. I cooked today's brunch. We had corned beef with minced carrots and potatoes. Me and my sister take turns in cooking meals at home--well, actually with almost every household chore. We split the bills too.  After eating, I decided to go for a swim. Just to give a context, swimming was once of our (siblings) past time when we were young since we live in the seaside. So when I got older, I rarely go swimming since my adult self tells me not to get my skin too damaged ...
