The Heat So Far
The Heat So Far
It’s summer here again! \m/ I’ve been of course hiding from all the heat (again) around the house and staying inside mama’s room where cold walls and cold tiles can certainly repel the heat. Oooh but don’t get me wrong, I still go outside sometimes hehe. Last last last week, it was the holy week so my family and I went for a Visita Iglesia slash roadtrip together with papa’s closest friends.
Photo of me and Ate Vina playing around hehe
We woke up around quarter to 4 in the morning and reached the farthest church at Ubay which is a town located literally across the island.
We ate lunch there and rested our tired selves for a while and took the road once again to another town Loboc, which was our destination for mountain climbing the next day. Mountain climbing = Krus Dako.
Krus Dako / “Big Cross” serves as the last station when climbing the mountain of Loboc.
After the climb, since the house we stayed was very near to the river, I decided to take a nice swim haha
Last Last Week: Swimmin’ pooolsss
sis swimmin’
bro chillin’ haha
Last Week: Beachin’ | Back to the River!!
Went to the beach with cousins :)
River cruises were passing by as we were swimming and playing. Tourists were taking pictures of us haha. (I’ve lost my photos when we were at the river huhu better find it as soon as possible)
But I think I'm getting a bit productive inside too (??). Since last week I’ve been practicing a new piece for piano because I’m trying to put music as my “thing” in the summer. Summer Break = play the piano, justinne o(╥﹏╥)o (also started jogging again haha)
So as of late, I am now packing my stuff for a new trip wohooo (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ more fun awaits, i think. hehe

School started earlier this week but
Hello Internet.
I feel really bad for not storytelling my summer since it’s a ritual thing here. It’s when I am most vacant. I felt like it missed the heat haze rants like before. Summer this year wasn’t really that hot compared to last year. I mean there were times where it was 35 degrees but the wind was sailing and lots of clouds shaded from time to time. The grass wasn’t dying and the avocados were at the right time. I came across flaming fire trees, bougainvillaes, those white tropical flowers (dunno what they’re called but) and yellow weeping flowers on trees (dunno what they were called but they were sooo pretty esp being near the shores of beaches). Flowers were blooming EVERYWHERE and I loved it. This was for the month of May though. April was kind of the shattered-hopes-but-trying-to hold-on-what’s-still-there feeling. I enrolled afternoon art sessions near my house to cope and make myself busy with one of the things I love, and that’s painting.
I’ve been also jogging almost every after dusk to feel less crappy and take care of myself. I also took care of my built-up acne prone skin from school stress and student research. But that all has now passed and I took the greatest relief EVER. And right now, I think that the universe just wants me to accept my fate for the time being and just go where the wind takes me. As long as I keep my doors and windows open with new ideas & chances and stand on my roots, maybe I’ll fly myself to where I’ve been wanting to go and be. ☺

Last week’s weekend escape to Pamilacan Island! It was so nice and peaceful huhu my best afternoon naps were here (~￣▽￣)~
There was no “water” so we just washed our hair with salt water haha
Finally Had The Guts To Start A Proper Bullet Journal 📖🎉👀 | Some Thoughts
.
Around the last days of August, I finally had the resolve of bullet journaling my way out of a busy month of school work, exams, college admission tests, a youth service that I'd never think of participating, and esp (of course, once again) an inktober attempt juggling all these things in a span of thirty one days. Spoiler: I got by and actually (barely) survived ✨🎉
I'd say it is a proper bullet journal now because of such elements based from Ryder Cowell's system of the whole bujo. I never really dug deep into the bujo community until I realized that bullet journaling was waaay more flexible than I thought. So I researched the whole concept and it turns out I was actually "bullet journaling" even way back since I used to do (food and skincare) logs, (anime & manga) trackers and (idea/music) lists before then, only the difference is that it was all over the place, kept in an unorganized manner unlike a proper bujo separating them by months for convenience of the viewer's eye onto the paper he/she's seeing.
I realized I was about to go down if I didn't kept track of the things that was happening last month. I decided to put my inktober works inside my bujo along with my test permits and weekly tasks in school. You could say that this notebook helps me stabilize equal amounts of time with school related tasks and my creative projects I've been working on since idk... day 1? *sighs. (To be honest, my heart is aching to be in two places at once -_-) It's been a long time for me doing multiple things, and I miss concentrating, focusing on one thing with all your heart. That's why I decided getting things real with legit planning my days from now on. I still think its scary doing this since I'm more of a "surprise attack" person than an organized one at that.
I think I did a pretty good job on my first month. We're now in the early days of November and I think I'm making sure I'll get things by. Bullet journaling is kind of therapeutic tbh, been tracking my sleep lately bc of my weird patterns but I'm sure I'll be fine soon haha 😃

Ps: stickers and things aren't really necessary, they just make me happy by seeing colors every now and then hehe
Pps: not posting it that much online = also don't wanna stress over how it looks and not that visually pleasing since it isn’t about that at all heheh
Peaceful place we stayed over that was a hundred kilometers away from the city. 📚✨
君の名は (Kimi no Na Wa)
Bounded by a timeless feeling, I found myself lying on my pillows in awe after watching the newest Shinkai masterpiece on a cold and rainy night. It has really been a while since I’ve felt like this after something that is so worthy to watch.
My hands are always up for Makoto Shinkai’s art and story. He has his way of portraying the little details of life that suddenly reflects a bigger impact of a scene later on. (I’m talking about the rate of which the cherry blossoms fall, the morning downpours of a busy city, kumihimo, and tankas)
Also, RADWIMPS’s lyrics was so beautiful. His music resonates and completes the whole story and I find that very fulfilling. Kimi No Na Wa *kinda* reminded me a little of myself.
I’ll wait for the HD of the HD of the movie and watch it again for the greater good. I know that it will be a thousand times better and an emotional wreck haha.

Memories of a time spent on Zamami Island. Where I camped, where I met the rain. これは、僕の秋のスケッチ。座間味島で描きました。
After all the harsh lighting (esp. at night), here’s my own attempt in this year’s Inktober!!! :DD
and horribly scored with 11 over 31 ink attempts D:
Even in the tiniest details could make a difference. 😌💚
things to pay attention to
the tiny specks of colour in their eyes
the bass and background sounds in a song
starlight on a cloudy night
how someone looks when they think nobody can see them
the mannerisms of a stranger
real meanings behind spoken words
subtle facial expressions which last a second
the underlying flavours in food
emotions that a friend is trying to hide
little lights in a sleeping city
flowers growing through cracks in the pavement
the mixed colour palette in a piece of art
the melody of someone’s voice
silly moments of the first months of 2024 with a tadtaran (cutting board) series i call "bloop bloop". delighted to have them out in the open w the island's art community last february :>
hinimo sa bohol, 2024
