Do you ever have weeks that are just… foggy? I can’t remember what happened this week.
Okay, hang on. Let me consult the historical records (IG stories and group chats).
Sunday (26th), I made this garden / blog.
Monday (27th), I… what did I do? Ah. I wrote Me-Manuel Miranda (which I still need to continue!) and emailed a couple clients about a new offer I wanted to do!
Tuesday (28th), what did I do aside from fill out a survey? Ah. I had a client call in the evening. And… then what did I do?
Wednesday (29th), I read some old blog entries. As in, from 17 years ago old*. I set mom up with her own blot.im blog! She was so happy because it’s so low threshold, no setup required. I said yeah, it only took us a three hour zoom call! 🤣 I also posted about the phenomenon of email marketers writing a million one-line paragraphs:
Thursday (30th), my sister came over. Supposedly because Mon was going to go to the office, but turns out they didn’t have an in-person meeting. But I told my sister to come anyway. She told me to stop posting all my posts at 100%. Do some non-overthought, no-visual-concept posts. Just text on a background. Ma’am! But okay, point taken.
I had 3 hours straight of calls (can that count as a workout?), then played the longest Uno game in the world with K and Mon. I feel like I worked somewhere in there, but I can’t be sure. Oh! I posted examples of what we can tackle during consult calls. I love those calls. Just… feed me with puzzles.
Friday (1st), good question. What did I do today? I wrote an email, I know that… Shit, what did I do today? HAHA. I can’t remember, other than we watched Stranger Things Season 4 vol. 2!! (I remember being distracted (by what???) while watching. So I’m going to need a second viewing of the episodes!)
Congruent (congruent?) with the fog, I have a couple post ideas swirling in my head.
Will link those when they exist.
Side note: I’m writing this post precisely because I didn’t know how to start writing those three. But I figured… write anything, as long as I’m writing.
Truly feeling my LiveJournal / Xanga / Tabulas / all the blogs era; I hope I never lose this joy!
Alright, let’s do another survey. WHY NOT.
Your name
– Mikli
Two feelings at the moment?
– Am I sleepy? Am I hungry?
What are you listening to right now?
– Mon was watching a live stream of a mobile game competition. One of the casters said he didn’t want to even try pronouncing a Filipino word, because the Filipino audience might make fun of that gringo. Not gringo! HAHA But maybe puti. HAHA chz
A part of a song lyric that’s in your mind?
– “Look into his angel eyes…” from ABBA (I was about to make that the title of this post, like how I made the titles of all my old posts song entries. Then I read the lyrics to the whole song…)
The highlight of your week?
– The long Uno game, and Stranger Things 4! AKA K hanging out with us willingly and joyfully HAHA Oh, also ~manifesting that we would eat Shabu-Shabu if X client pays me. “Once she pays you,” Mon corrected. Fifteen minutes later the money came in? SO GUESS WHAT WE’RE HAVING FOR LUNCH TOMORROW
What are you craving to have right now?
– Water. Maybe I should go get.
Any unforgettable childhood memory
– Reading my aunt’s Archie Comics collection in Bacolod. My grandmother had them all bound into these 3-inch thick volumes. I’d devour them every time I’d visit.
A not-so-good childhood memory?
– Mom picking me up from school — rare! — because… she wanted to be the one to break the news that my pet Yorkie, Sacha, died. 😢
Are you in love?
– Yes!!
Your three plans for tomorrow?
– Wake up for the cleaners. SHABU SHABU! Nap? Re-watch Stranger Things 4? Not have a plan?
Are you thinking of someone right now?
– I’m just thinking of food, tbh
Are you single?
– She is engaaaaaged! So I guess that’s a yes if you’re asking about civil status; no if you’re asking about life in general.
Say something to the person who posted this
– Hi, past-Mikli. Back up your Xanga blogs because THEY DISAPPEAR and now I’m sad I can’t find any old entries!
What do you want?
– I want financial stability! #dreambig
Say anything you like to whoever is reading this.
– It would bring me SO MUCH HAPPINESS if you copy-pasted this survey, answered it too, then linked me to it. LET’S GO EARLY 2000s ERA BLOGGING!
Are you feeling hungry?
– I feel like this is the third or fourth or fifth time I’m saying it in this entry: yes. (To be fair to me, it’s 4am. A long time from dinner!)
Who do you miss right now?
– Retainer income. (But not retainer stress. LOL) That’s not a who. But.
Last friend you talked to online?
– Internet business friends on Instagram! (From when I did my bulk conversations of the day HAHA to explain: that’s when the number of unread DMs is more than I can bear, then I reply to everyone in a frenzy, then hide again)
What do you like about the night?
– I love the night. And I love that Mon and K are night owls, too. RN they’re playing Uno while I write this! I’ll join them in a bit; I just have momentum going on here.
If you visited a farm, what would you like to see?
– Horses I can ride please!
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
– Lol everything. I think I was like, Oh, Jose Rizal was only 10 things? WEAK. Here’s a list of a hundred things I’ll be! Ma’am!! Right now all she be is tired!
Last gift?
– Mon gave me (us!) an apple pie for our 9th anniversary. Food gifts are best gifts!
Did you like it?
– LOVED IT. FINISIHED IT RIGHT AWAY. (It’s the Sugarhouse one from childhood!)
Do you play an instrument?
– I can play the guitar and piano slightly above averagely!
What song did you last hear? — I asked K to sing a song. He said: “EEEEEEEEH.” Mon sang, “I…… can’t think of a song to sing”
Person you hate most?
– Hate is such a strong word. THAT SAID. Chz. No idk.
Who makes you laugh the most?
– Stupid jokes. Like, jokes that don’t deserve a laugh. I end up laughing at those extra.
What makes you smile?
– I am hanging out with my two boys on the bed, with the dog beside me, and the cat on the floor somewhere caterwauling in heat. This is the life I wanted! And it’s here! I don’t take this for granted.
*This is for future-Mikli. It’s the FR tabulas one.
