Hellooooooo

June 15, 2022 Joana7 Comments

It’s been quite a while I know. This is my first post for this year. Life has been quite overwhelming the last few months. I got a job then left 6 months after to start a business. I have this path but I keep taking turns to see more of what’s out there. I feel lost but I’m quite enjoying the adventure. Life has been hard, problems arise especially when you have a lot of time to spare. I kept imagining and thinking of how to meet expectations. I’m getting older and I’m not even on half of the things that I wanted to achieve. I know life is not a race but often times I kept wondering of why I’m not moving even though I’m already running. There were times when the thought of giving up creeps into my mind but I’m glad that the thought of pursuing my goals is greater.

My Gigantic Thought Bubble has been inactive for quite some time now because my mind found its way to filter the negative thoughts in a healthier way. I started this blog for the sole purpose of having an outlet. Lately, the thoughts has been manageable to deal with and writing has been my friend for such a long time especially when things were not okay but right now things are okay. And also, I found a way to be more open of how I feel with the people around me. As cliche as it may sound it’s true when they say that “it gets better” but challenges are always going to show up and test you.

I’m returning to my writing habit… again lol. We’ll see from here. See you around.

Let’s Catch Up!

Long time no see everyone.

I want to be honest. I sort of forgot that I still have a blog lol. It’s been a while since I wrote something or even thought of writing.

Let’s see… Here’s what happened since I last posted something here:

I turned 25 last August 24th. I think I can legitimately say that I’m going through a quarter life crisis lol. I’m in this phase of where I’m alright but at the same time I feel like I need to do something with my life or else I’ll get left behind. To have enough wealth is the goal right now. Money is everything forget whatever I said in here years ago lol. I know in my country living with your family in your 20’s is pretty much normal but I feel like I am not growing by being in the same environment since I was born. I feel like I am missing out on so many things by staying in my comfort zone. But living alone cost a lot, I feel like I can do it but the thought of saving a lot more by staying with my family is something that I’m conflicted with. I guess this is really the age where you’re really thinking of what you are going to do with your life. Well, that’s that with my ramblings about being 25.

I also entered the world of NFT games which is taking up a lot of my time and sleep as well. The thought of gaining wealth hit me and I thought of investing in a fun way and just have a little extra income. I thought of entering Axie Infinity since it’s the NFT game that is already established so the risk is somehow lower than other Play To Earn games out there. But a friend recommended a game called Plant Vs Undead which is a project that just started 2 months ago. I researched a lot about it and I see a really huge potential for this game. And it’s cheaper than Axie. I mean I invested just around $70 and I got my return of investment in just a week with a profit of around $300 at that time. This is the first NFT game that I played, and honestly it’s quite fun to play, sometimes I forget that I invested money in it. I’m also open to other NFT games, comment down below if you have recommendations.

I just renewed this blog yesterday. One of the main reason why I’m so lazy to write lol. My domain and plan expired a month ago and I just had the will to renew it yesterday. Yes, I pay for this blog. A lot of people get surprise by that information, when you love what you’re doing it’s okay to spend a little. Now that this blog is renewed I’m having trouble coming up with ideas to write about. I guess for a few days I’ll be publishing some drafts I have left until I get fresh new ideas.

That’s all I got for now. I hope to see you again on my next post.

How are you all? Hope you’re doing good. I hope you haven’t forgot about me 🥺.

My Favorite Things: F.R.I.E.N.D.S

August 15, 2021 Joana16 Comments

*Bought this shirt and the sticker (he’s her lobster) just for the reunion*

Advertisements

I think I’ve written several posts about my love for this show. This is my comfort show that I still re-watch up to this day. I am addicted to this show and I am proud to say that. I still choose to re-watch this show even though there are a lot of new series and shows that you can watch these days.

I guess I love the show because of reminding me how simple life was back then. I love the low maintenance friendship they had. There were no phones, no need to take pictures of the food before eating it lol. They really talk to each other with no distractions. Every time I feel sad I watch one episode of Friends and after that I forget why I was sad in the first place and I’m not exaggerating on that.

This show instantly puts a smile on my face and when they did the reunion I teared up of the thought of why wasn’t I old enough when this show first came out and why did I only watched it when I was in college? Either way I’m glad I watched it because it is the best show ever. If you haven’t watched this show yet I am judging you lol.

How about you? What are your favorite little things that makes you happy?

My Favorite Things: My Music

I could never go a day without listening to music. I feel so incomplete when I forget my earphones especially when going to work as I take the public bus to go to and from work, music accompanies me through it. Also, I sleep with music on as I couldn’t sleep without it which I don’t recommend since I sleep with my earphones on, I do set a timer though.

While we’re on this topic let me share with you a playlist of songs I’ve created on Spotify I named it Ignore The World as I listen to this playlist to “ignore the world” and drown out the noise of reality.

I think all of us has specific songs that we listen to every time we want to be alone and for me these are those songs. I am a lyric-centered type of listener, I focus on the lyrics more than the melody most of the time that is why most of the songs in this playlist are mellow. Listening to music is one way of focusing our mind on one thought and when you’re the kind of person whose train of thoughts doesn’t stop, music is one of the most effective way to slow that down. Also, discovering artists that perfectly explains how I feel in a song makes me feel seen and understood.

That is why I want to take this moment and appreciate what music does and it is probably one of the greatest pleasure in life that we take for granted.

Do music also uplifts your mood? Share your playlist with me. 😄

My Favorite Things: The Sims

One of the things I get excited about going home from work is knowing I get to chill back and play my favorite game which is The Sims. I’ve been a fan of the game for a long time now. The Sims is probably the greatest simulation game that there is right now. I get to live a different life playing this game lol. I spent hours building houses and playing different storylines. Who says it’s a boring game when I’m a serial dater who’s a full time spy? (yep, I created my female version of James Bond).

I got into playing video games when I was very young since my brothers and sister would play all the time on their Playstation and I would wait for them to finish playing so I could play after them. I used to spent countless hours playing even when we’re told to stop and rest our eyes we would still play. Today, I’m appreciative that I still get to play and now I have my own device to play with so I don’t need to wait for anyone to finish playing lol.

They say video games is a great stress reliever well it really is. It is not just to past time anymore, it is an effective way to keep your mind off of things, an effective escape to our stressful life.

Do you play video games too? What’s your favorite game?

How about you? What are your favorite little things that makes you happy?
