A good day for a swim 😃

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-16 13:02:30 UTC

Today was a long day. We went out for a day swim, the place wasn't that far, it was just around the neighborhood. There were not much people since I think most people went out of town. It was a fun experience. Today was filled with laughter and stories, we get to bond with our cousin, aunt and uncle, we had fun and we ate good food. Today was indeed a long but joyful day. We reminisced about our past vacations and made plans for a short vacation in the future. We shared lots of stories and laughed. The weather was also nice since it was not that hot for a swim. Today was somewhat tiring but, I'm glad since I enjoyed myself today.

Something about me

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-16 13:06:51 UTC

Fun Fact, I sleep with 5 pillows. I like getting comfortable when I sleep, so I have many pillows surrounding me, it makes me feel secure. I also have 3 different blankets for different weather. I spend most of my time in bed since it's my comfort place and my absolute favorite hobby is sleeping.

Random Thoughts...

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-16 13:14:19 UTC

Sometimes I wonder, and I feel scared. Because to be honest, I really don't see myself with a future. I'm not saying that I don't have a plan for myself, what I'm saying is that when I think of the future, I don't really see a clear picture, it's just blurred out. Maybe it's because of the thought that I'm afraid of change, maybe I'm not the only one feeling and experiencing this, but it still scares me. Sometimes I think it's better to live within the moment and not worry about the future. Sometimes, I feel like it's better to worry about tomorrow first, rather than worrying about your life for the next 2-5 years. I'm not an expert, but it makes me feel at ease and at peace when the only thing I worry about is tomorrow. I believe that we already have so much to worry about in the present, so why pressure ourselves to also worry about the future? It's better to live within the moment, because in that way, I think, we can all find happiness and worry less.

I feel broke T o T

Happy Easter! I hope you enjoyed your Easter. My Easter is not that happy. We went out today, as usual, for our weekly Sunday mass, we attended church and ate lunch. We didn't go to the mall since they didn't have anything to buy, but we did go to a local music store that sells instruments and stuff like that. I requested for us to stop by since I wanted to buy new strings for my guitar, but I think I may have made a mistake 😃 A little background, I've been playing the guitar for about 5 years now, and of course if you play guitar you'd know that the strings don't last. Strings are made of steel so of course, they'd rust through time, especially if you don't use them often. Sometimes steel strings would also break if you're not careful. I mentioned before that I have 2 guitars, and since I've been busy, the strings needed some changing. The string on one of my guitar also broke so, it needed changing as well. Therefore, I'd have to change the strings for 2 guitars. Usually I'd just go to the local music store to buy strings and also ask them change it, therefore paying for the price of the string and labor as well, but, COVID happened and of course, stores were not that open before and going out was not an option, so I learned to change strings on my own. Today, we bought 2 kinds of strings (since I have 2 guitars and the strings for each guitar is different, I have an acoustic and classical guitar, so I needed a steel and nylon string, because both guitars needed changing), my expectations was that, the strings would not cost much, since I'd only have to pay for the strings and not the labor but to my surprise, one set of strings cost about P300, and since I had to buy 2 sets, I ended up spending about P600 for guitar strings 😭 I kind of regret it, since at the mall, we asked before a set of strings only cost about P150, if I'm not mistaken, and in shoppee, the set would only cost P99, not counting the shipping fee. I think I would have saved money if I ordered online 😭 The string that I bought was also a set, but it just cost so much 😭 But, I can't undo it now since I was also too shy to turn down the lady at the shop since I was the only customer at that time, I didn't want to look rude. But still, I lost about P600 in a day, and I don't have an allowance so now I'm broke 😭 If you're wondering why I needed to buy 2 set of strings when I can just buy 1 since I have 2 guitars and I have the option of just using one for the mean time, well the answer is... firstly I didn't expected it to be THAT expensive and secondly steel and nylon strings can be used for different purposes, they also sound different. And lastly, I feel like summer vacation is around the corner and I would like to practice playing the guitar whenever I don't have anything to do. But, that aside, I still feel sad since I'm broke and I don't have money.

Goodbye, my paradise

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-17 15:48:38 UTC

By paradise, I mean my vacation, the holiday, and the free time, by the way this is more like a rant so... get ready hehe... But, seriously, why does time go by so fast when we don't have classes? Like I didn't even feel like I had a 5 day rest, you may say that maybe it's because you're having fun, or maybe it's because you did a lot during the 5 day rest. Maybe you're right, but that's not the point, I still need some time to unwind. Like seriously I just want to sleep all my life. Sleeping is my hobby, it's my passion, why do we need to go to school can't we just skip it? I'm kidding, but seriously though, I feel like time is speeding up whenever we don't have classes, it's unfair. I just hope that time pass by quickly so that we can hurry and have our summer vacation already.

Get to know me 😃

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-17 15:53:48 UTC

Aside from having a collection of dolls such as Barbie and Bratz, I also have quite the collection of stuffed animals. You can say that I may be spoiled, I also think so, but I don't have an attitude, I maybe spoiled but I'm not a brat, sometimes maybe but, that's not the point. Anyways... I have many stuffed animals, they're not complete but, I have all sorts of animals, from kangaroos, different types of dogs, bears, a tiger and many more. I don't have all the animals in the zoo but I still have quite a lot of stuffed animals. I don't plan on selling them though, and it might sound that I'm bragging but I'm not, I'm just saying whatever, and I'm just sharing my life. So, if I sound like I'm bragging, I apologize.

A day without adventures

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-18 13:25:53 UTC

Today, school started, again. It was just a normal day, nothing too special happened. I went on my daily routine, waking up a little earlier before my alarm. Nothing special happened yet it felt like today was a long day. Food was great today, I ate a good meal with my family, had a good laugh, but other than that, today was just a day without any excitement. Though it's still a good day to be alive, the weather was chilly in the morning, not that hot in the afternoon. Today was like any normal day, I hope tomorrow will be better.

The things I like

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-18 13:30:39 UTC

I like eating, I like listening to music, I like the breeze, I like playing the guitar, I like having a good sleep, I like feeling the coldness of December. I like talking to my family, I like watching anime, I like reading manhwas, I like eating sweet, savory and salty foods. These small things are what makes me happy. Things that are simple yet, enough to bring a smile to my face. These are the things that I love to do and things that I cherish.

A special date

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-19 14:13:50 UTC

I went out with a friend today! She was a friend from my previous school, she came to where I live since she was also visiting one of her classmates that lived around the area. We ate and talked, we updated each other about how life was. It was fun, we saw each other again personally after many months. It feels refreshing to talk with people that have been part of your life. I had fun talking to her, today was indeed a good day.

Stress about a test

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-19 14:20:56 UTC

Although I did have fun today, I was also a bit stressed since we had a test, it was not that hard, not too complicated, but in one of the problem, the given, that was needed in the equations, were not complete. It wouldn't have be so stressful, however, when I tried to reach out to our teacher they didn't respond. I didn't know what to do, since it was the only problem that was left unsolved. I didn't know how to answer it properly so I kind of just randomly pick a number to solve it. It was stressful, but I'm glad I'm able to do the other questions with ease.

Foods I don't like

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-19 14:30:57 UTC

I can eat anything, but, there are certain foods that I just CANNOT stand. One example is the fruit Papaya. Before, it was a fruit that I didn't really pay any mind to, before I neither like it nor hate it but after this one incident, I just cannot stand this fruit. I don't even want to eat or smell it, let alone eat it. I'll give you a brief description on why I hate this fruit. Basically I had constipation and as a "cure" my dad, made me eat Papaya for breakfast. If you think about it, it's not that bad, but what made it bad was because it wasn't just a slice, NO, he made me finish a container of ice cream full of papaya slices, it was sweet, but no, it basically gave me trauma (it's a joke btw). Seeing papaya reminds me of that incident so I just don't eat. If you like this fruit, good for you. But no, thank you, you can enjoy it by yourself :)

Productivity is Key

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-20 14:29:49 UTC

As usual, nothing too interesting happened. I woke up at the sound of my alarm ringing, nothing too special happened. I attended all 4 of my classes, to be honest, I don't really like the Wednesday schedule, cuz lunch time is a bit late, but it's okay since dismissal are early. Today, I was also quite productive, I started my e-book for physical science, organized files in my documents, did some of my notes and finished doing the task in reading and writing. I also took a nap after class ended. Nothing much happened after, except for me crying lightly because the manhwa I'm reading is ending but that's mostly it. I hope we all go back to normal so that my daily life could be interesting.

Artists I recommend...

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-20 14:36:51 UTC

I just write something randomly because I'm having fun writing... Anyways if you're looking for new artist to listen to, I recommend listening to Alec Benjamin's songs, they're really good. It's mostly love songs but his songs also has a hint of reality in them. I enjoy listening to him because he is like telling a story through his songs. He just released a new album (which is a banger by the way) and my favorite songs from him are Must've been the wind, Devil doesn't bargain, 1994, Jesus in LA, and If we have each other. I think you also have heard one of his song, especially if you're active in Tiktok, if you're familiar with Let me down slowly, then that's one of his songs. Try listening to him, I promise you won't regret it!

#PLAIN

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-21 14:39:16 UTC

Nothing interesting happened today. I feel tired, although I didn't do much I feel tired. I attended 3 classes today, took a nap, passed a task and finished some notes. I feel like days just passes by with nothing interesting happening, maybe I should socialize more? But, I'm too lazy to do that. Anyways if I would summarize what happened today it consisted of school and songs playing from spotify. As of the moment I don't know what to do by Blackpink is playing, which is mood since di ko talaga alam kung anong magandang gawin I'm so bored maybe I should sleep since it's kind of late as I'm writing this. Hoping for more interesting days to come.

I'M OBSESSED

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-21 14:46:08 UTC

I can't get this song out of my head! I've been listening to Seventeen's new single DARL+ING and I can't stop smiling. It makes me feel butterflies, it might sound weird pero ang ganda kasi talaga ng lyrics and the lyrics is not just maganda its nakakakilig talaga and don't even get me started with the melody and beat, it's just chef's kiss it's THAT good. It's a song that makes you feel some type of way. Maybe it's just me and my single self saying this but I always feel kilig when I hear this song, medyo cringey pakinggan ung thoughts ko but it's a seriously good song and I can't express it in words. All I can say is I'm obsessed with this song. STAN SEVENTEEN FOR A BETTER LIFE <3

Friday, Rest day

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-22 13:16:50 UTC

It's finally Friday my favorite day of the week, that's because there's no school the next day. I attended all my classes today, nothing much happened, today was filled with quizzes and some discussion. After my classes I would normally go to sleep but I was waiting for a friend's message since she said that she would come visit either Friday or next Monday, since I wanted to be a good friend I waited for her response to my message, but it seems that she was busy since she didn't respond, btw this is not a rant since I think she has other plans which is fine by me. After some hours where I felt like she won't respond anymore I slept, that was around 4 or 5 pm, noticed how I said slept and not nap? that's because I fell asleep for almost 2 hours or more. After waking up I ate dinner and spent time with my family. I would probably sleep late tonight since I just literally woke up. I also did some notes since I wanted to have some progress in doing them. Oh and before I forget I just want to express this since my favorite anime, which is Haikyuu, had it's 10th anniversary, and there was a leakage on the one-shot of the manga prepared by its author and my most awaited interactions happened. Gosh di ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko, I feel happy yet sad, happy kasi nag-interact na si Kuroo pati si Oikawa (the characters names) but sad since I don't know if the one-shot will be animated and I also don't have the means to read the manga. I'm still waiting for the anime's season 5, it's literally my comfort show so I had mixed feelings. Overall, the day was okay, I'm just glad that the week is finally over.

My comfort show

jebbmari_a — 2022-04-22 13:22:52 UTC

Haikyuu is a show that's always in my mind. I think about it every second of the day. It's a sports anime that just makes me happy, the characters are great, the show is great, the character development is great and the story line is great. It's something that can ultimately make me smile, and I could watch over and over again and I wouldn't even be sick of it. It something that can make my day better just by watching some scenes from the show. I think it also became part of my daily routine, since I watched the show, I don't think there's a day when I didn't encounter or talked about it. I just can't get enough of it. I love it so much. And yeah I probably need to have a more active social life, but that's for another conversation :)
