It's nice that I get to live somewhere where the weather can change quite drastically compared to Yukon where it's always cold. I also really like seeing the mountains on walks since I feel weird going to other places where it's flat with no other scenery than the sky, which makes me grateful.]]> 2023-09-30 19:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2727104211 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2727942098 It was a while since I went on a drive that wasn't very sunny. Since I was younger, I've been a fan of late night drives, especially during summer evenings where the wind would be just right and I'd stick my head out the window. Today had similar weather but just more on the cooler side which was okay, and it was something I looked forward to today, even if it wasn't to anywhere necessarily exciting nor important. ]]> 2023-10-02 03:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2727942098 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2727946522 I didn't do anything particularly exciting, which is okay. I mainly drew stuff since I haven't had motivation in a while, but I also discovered a song that really made me feel so much and told a compelling story without me knowing any context. "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and it's both slow and fast pace let me think for a moment while I imagined a story when I listened. It was a good reminder that it's always good to stop and recognize where you are, and that was a reminder I needed.]]> 2023-10-02 03:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2727946522 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2729671057 Today was a rainy day, which was weird since yesterday was such a sunny day. I think it was very much needed though, the varieties of weathers we get is quite beautiful, including rain. Rain washes and waters all the different kinds of plant and flora we have in Vancouver. Despite me being allergic to a lot of it, it's so nice to admire how each thing grows from seeds to beautiful trees. ]]> 2023-10-03 05:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2729671057 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2731534849 Though I had a lot of work to do, I had a relaxing afternoon napping which was nice after today. I had been awake since 5 AM, and got home at 5 PM, so I was really tired despite my workload. I really do love how my body especially has a really easy time accepting rest, for me personally I can nap anywhere and quickly which is a blessing I probably don't appreciate enough. But today was a regular day, and the regular is always better than terrible.]]> 2023-10-04 06:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2731534849 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2739232265 Today was a day (Wednesday) where I get to teach PREP/Catechism after school. Although the kids I teach are not saints, I am thankful to them for giving me to opportunity to have people to teach. I do appreciate the time I spend with them even if it hasn't been long. They definitely make me frustrated, but they also make me laugh a lot and I get to see them be kind towards each other. As a Catechist, seeing my influence of spreading the idea of who Jesus is and watching it being put into practice is something really fulfilling to watch.]]> 2023-10-10 04:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2739232265 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2739240319 It's not very often that it's 25 degrees out and sunny in October, so I took the opportunity to take a walk. It was a lovely stroll in PoCo, and it was a while since I've taken a nice walk like that. Lately, my immune system has been taking a lot of hits so I haven't been able to go out very often, even now I'm not doing too great. But I'm happy I was feeling well enough to go out since I needed the fresh air. I think fall in PoCo is especially very pretty since the type of trees in town are the type to change colour, making it a refreshing change of scenery. ]]> 2023-10-10 04:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2739240319 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2739248412 It was the BC Catholics today, and having friends on the senior boys soccer team, I'm really proud of them for playing so hard! I'm especially happy since the weather has been so good so they didn't have to play on a rainy field. It was really nice to see everybody out on the field supporting the boys, even though people in high-school often don't get along, or don't like each other. It is weird but sweet that a sport that many people could be indifferent about can bring people together.]]> 2023-10-10 04:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2739248412 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2742159660 Unfortunately, my family's plans for thanksgiving was supposed to happen today however they got cancelled. Maybe they were cancelled for good reason, but it's okay. I was able to take a nice drive through Pitt Meadows today for a doctor's appointment. I think being not in the best of health helped me appreciate the times where I'm not as sick. I don't struggle with strong chronic illnesses and I don't have to worry if I can afford treatment if I ever need to. ]]> 2023-10-11 16:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2742159660 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2742170827 It was such nice weather today, and though I still wasn't well, I was getting better which is always a good sign. I got to see other people in my other side of my family that I don't see often at church today which was a surprise. I really appreciate the family that I don't see much but they make me feel very loved, and connected. In our culture, this is normal and always to be expected, but regardless that doesn't mean it means any less. They always offer to me food, and include me in all kinds of activity which I am always grateful for.]]> 2023-10-11 16:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2742170827 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2742195301 Like I said, my plans with my family for Thanksgiving were cancelled, so I originally had nothing to do today. But, one of my close friends was available so I ended up spending a lot of my Thanksgiving with them. I'm really grateful to my friend since otherwise, I would've been alone for this occasion. We played games, ate together, and overall had a good time. It would've been very sad to think I would've been alone, and it makes me only much more happier to recognize how lucky I am to be blessed with the people around me.]]> 2023-10-11 17:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2742195301 aorcullo2025 https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2744799636 As my final entry, I would like to dedicate it to one of the biggest cornerstones of my life, which is music and the arts. Though I wouldn't going into post-secondary for the arts, it is a huge reason I have such passion and desire towards anything I enjoy now. Music has taught me expression, and the importance of expression. Without that outlet of emotion, or learning how to express myself (with or without art) I would be in a much different mindset and place of maturity that I am at today. I'm very privileged to have freedom to music and arts, and to everything that has made me into the person I am today.]]> 2023-10-13 06:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aorcullo2025/sd66dy2ez841psjg/wish/2744799636
