uhmm... with my attempt to do more of the things i love and to document my life more for my future self to look back on, i decided to include a monthly recap series on this blog ("AGAIN" — which i hope i could keep up 'til the end of this year lol). i was religiously doing this during my early years here on the blogging arena. i was even doing it weekly back then, but life got it in the way, so i eventually had to drop it, even blogging itself.
anyway, it's march already as of typing, and just like that, the first quarter of the year is already almost ending.
nothing much happened in february but here's a few of some notable things during the month:
- i was very busy with work (both with my day job and side hustle), to the point that i had to drop some of my routines just because i was fairly exhausted. i stopped going for a morning walk for a while and i have not get back since. i hope i can get back to it the soonest.
- this month was exhausting both physically and emotionally. i've dealt thru lots of internal battles, mostly because of the lack of self-discipline. i am really having a hard time on this aspect and i frustrate myself every time.
- had a valentines dinner with my mom and my brother on a quite fancy restaurant and it was really spontaneous that we had to hop from one restaurant to another during that time because it was fully-booked everywhere. gosh, it was already almost 9:00 PM when we were able to get a table, but it was all worth-it because it made my mom happy. over the years, i think my mom's love language is treating her somewhere out. also, i surprised her with sunflowers because they are her favorite!
- i started learning how to cook again (for the nth time). i always try but at some point, i also always give up because i don’t have enough patience for it. i am just so not into cooking just yet.
- february was also all about building my morning and night routine but i was still struggling because i had to sleep late and wake up late then rush for work and the cycle repeats.
- i had my booster shot and i bumped into a sibling of a college mate who unexpectedly recognized me despite of us meeting for the first time, and i'm thankful for her kind assistance during the whole process.
i also would like to share a few quotable quotes from my february read, seize today by john mason:
- "there's a difference between interest and commitment. when you're interested in doing something, you only do it when it is convenient. when you are commited to something, you accept no excuses, only results."
- “if you find yourself taking two steps forward and one step backwards, invariably it’s because you have mixed associations in your life.”
i still have more beautiful quotes from the book that resonated with me, but i will prolly share them in my march wrap up because i wasn't able to finish the book in feb.
i am happy to write something like this again. i really miss the good OG blogging feels. i still am not so decided on what to put on this monthly recap thingy. i'm thinking of answering prompts to wrap the month up, or i don't know, really. the important thing is i am able to start. i will just try to improve this series as it goes because the biggest room we have right here is the room for improvement. *wink wink
these are actually the only decent photos i've had in february.
that's a wrap! xx
