HEY HEYY!!
hope everyone is doing well!!!
so uhh...i spent literally like the whole day editing a quarantine week in my life video as a student, caretaker, and a potato....but I don't like how the video is turning out because I kinda just videotaped things without explaining in full detail of anything going on because i'm too awkward and don't know how to vlog lolol....
SOOO HERE'S ME SHOWING YOU MY LIFE SINCE QUARANTINE....which isn't much different than before quarantine honestly LOL
March..the beginning of the crisis
wow, this is crazy. This was taken in march where I made a list of food that we have and need because i thought people were overreacting on the amount of food they're stocking up on LOLOL
but i think we've all been stocking up now lol because things got intense real quick
lol, we will never have a problem with toilet paper shortage because i bought a toilet paper subscription thing where they send me bamboo toilet paper. lemme know if yall neeed nice sustainable toilet paper that makes you less guilty of chopping down millions of tress while wiping your bum! lol
crazyyyy
OMG ARE WE EVEN CHINESE? james looks filipino in this pic lol and i'm always asked if i'm filipino or a mix....MOMMY AND DADDY...EXPLAIN YOURSELVES PLZ lolol
this was when FRHSD said they were doing remote learning and i curled james' hair and he really liked it lol.
this was when I had to wear full PPE (personal protective equipment) just for precaution for one of the residents who just came back from the hospital..just in case she had the virus...
those were the simpler days....
those were the days when we only had to wear masks for those who were in isolation
those were the days when i hated wearing masks because it made it difficult to breathe and talk.....now I got used to it and literally wear 3 layers of masks lol (coffee filter, N95, and then a surgical mask)
honestly, i don't remember the early days of quarantining but we always went out on walks on the weekends because it was sooo nice out.
my mom is finally using her hiking stick that's she's been soo excited to use. but everytime we go on like major hikes on mountains and stuff, SHE FORGETS TO BRING IT lol
euh..actually i think this was before quarantine, but maisy got me hooked onto this show on netflix, called "Crash Landing On You" OMG the amount of times I cried and showed up to work the next day with puffy eyes hUFOSGNJX. soo goodd!!!
also jackie and i started this korean drama too..and the thumbnail and description sounded soo cuteee but they put some kind of mystery in there that makes it so creepyyy and jackie got nightmares from it and we never watched it again lol....
jackie, we need to find a new drama to watch together that's cute and not scary
but yeah, i love this heart hand symbol. I WANT TO GO OUT AND TAKE CUTE PICTURES WITH JACKIE AND ASHLEIGH AND MAISY WITH THIS CUTE HAND SYMBOL...BUT WE CANT!
^^wow first world problems here ik.
APRIL
heh, this cute plant i got that i thought would look nice hanging off a pot...but euhh...i killed it so now i need to go back and get another HFOISGHSOJ
OMG...THIS JUST REMINDED ME....I LEFT MY CLOTHES OUTSIDE..LOL brb let me go get it
hahahha
UM MY MOM CAN RELATE LOL
eh i don't how i feel about these nails honestly..i was trying to be creative here.
I've really been into painting my nails lately and doing alternating colors even tho they chip within a few days because of how often i wash my hands....omg MY HANDS ARE SO DRY AND UGLY. HALP
I think having school actually made me maintain a routine of classes, walks with family, dinner at 6, and then chill. I really like it..but sadly school is over so it's hard for me to keep that routine. I make an agenda every day and sometimes it's just so hard to start them and be productive.
I've been doing better though, and starting to be more productive.
At the same time, I also learned that I don't need to be productive everyday. Usually after work, I force myself to be proactive but more recently, I've been so tired that i just let myself relax and it's pretty nice.
Sometimes you need to relax and take it ~slowww~. Not everyday has to be productive.
sunshine after a storm :)
we will get through this :)
i look forward to these walks everyday :)
wow it's been awhile since i made dinner for the family hfsuohgojsk
i made tomato lentil soup and it was actually really gooooddd :))
SELF CARE
lol, these are just screenshots of what was supposed to be the vlog
i honestly love remote learning lol
I literally think i would have died if it wasn't remote lol because remote learning allowed me to manage everything at my own time and ~multi task~ and doing work in bed is a LUXURY. :)
things i learned this semester:
I HATE EXCEL SO MUCH
anthropology is really interesting...it made me more open minded
the way bacteria and organisms grow and spread is interesting and disgusting
^lol i compare the way plants look to mold cuz they look pretty similar
conidospores is like my favorite word now
ok im going to stop talking
LOL DO YOU LIKE MY TRIPOD? ..im really proud of my creativity lol. my public speaking class isn't even public speaking anymore because i only have to present in front of a camera. I CHOSE THE BEST TIME TO DO PUBLIC SPEAKING BWAHAHA.
i don't think we ever bought this much stuff at costco before lol
i always feel so guilty when we go to costco because of how much plastic there is. but in a crisis like this, i have to put that guilt and mindset aside.
HAHAHA...i have a crazy obsession with hsm and hsmtmts...if you didn't already know lol
and disney did a sing along thing and i thought it was just going to be the hsm original cast but it was actually the casts from both series AND MY REACTION IS SOO FUNNY
i can't....idk why i'm like this
ALSOOO...i'm going to regret posting this but i learned the dance to "we are all in this together"..and euhh here it is lol
LOLOL
CRINGE
but also i'm pretty proud of it HAHAH
^lol i know i messed up ish but i liked the random dance i did in the beginning so lol..enjoy. don't judge and cringe me too hard plz. LOL
um...straight up facts
disney has pretty good music not gonna lie
also, i've really been jamming to Lauv's new album..soo good!!!
also..why do like most of his song titles fit so much with what's going on rn?
i mean....
-for now
-sweatpants
-modern loneliness
-f* i'm lonely
-changes
lol, but yeah, his songs are so good
my favorites are: "for now,""canada," "mean it," "tell my mama," "feelings" umm basically the whole album
nobody asked for this lol but you're welcome
also, "someday" by zombies is pretty good too. and all of taylor's albums are bops obviously.
HAHA, i'll stop. man i'm annoying
lol ashleigh's car battery died so my mom and i had to come and rescue them XDD
...and that was like the first time we've seen them in like monthsssss lolol
I MISS MY FRANDS :(
sadly i can't relate to the #workfromhome lyfe cuz well..i don't work from home..well i did school online so i guess i can relate lol
ANWAYS
i honestly kinda like going to work because i go crazy when i'm home all dayyy...so GOOD JOB TO ALL OF YOU STAYING HOME...idk how you do it.
As an essential worker, you really have to put the fear behind you to do your job.
During this scary time, so many people are telling me to quit, cut my hours, etc. but honestly, what I'm doing is nothing compared to what the nurses and doctors are doing...especially cuz i do care for alzheimer's and dementia residents..so they literally haven't left the building in like YEARS lollll.
But I think knowing that i'm helping to protect these vulnerable elderlies really adds value to my job and it feels really good. it makes me like my job even more actually :) a lot of people don't get it because my job is honestly physically and sometimes mentally draining, but the feeling I get knowing the difference I make on these residents is really rewarding.
They make me want to like jump out of the window sometimes but i still love them. They are quite the story to tell. lolol
So yeah, I love my job :)
Don't worry y'all, im taking care of myself too!!
My hands are literally dead from washing my hands so much.
my hair is literally dry from washing it everday
my work clothes are separated from everything and washed separately.
my masks used to be steamed but now i just quarantine them and reuse them because i think the steam is breaking down the material.
euh yeah..lots of precautions here
hello!!
also, my family and my mom's coworkers have been sending me their extra N95 masks. I'm so grateful!! <3 the place i work at gives out N95 masks too but they're ugly cuz they make me look like a duck LOL.
my "HOLY CRAP I SURVIVED THE 16 HOUR SHIFT ONCE AGAIN" LOOK
LOLOL
everytime i walk pass someone, i look at them and smile and then forget that they can't even see me smiling so it just looks like i'm just staring at them ahahahfoiusj
your welcome
LOL GUYS I HAVE THIS A PROBLEM OF PLUCKING TOFU'S WINTER FUR OFF. IT'S SO SATISFYING. AND THEN I MAKE PILES AND THROW THEM OUTSIDE BECAUSE I HEARD THAT IT HELPS BIRDS WITH THEIR NESTS. AND TODAYY, I SAW A BABY BIRD WITH TOFU'S HAIR IN IT'S MOUTH!! OMG SOO COOL!!! I HOPE TOFU'S FLUFFY HAIR KEEPS THESE BIRDIES WARM AT NIGHT :)
MAY
my parents are super into gardening now :)
we bought a lot of plants and flowers and stuffff :))
ALRIGHT FUNNY STORY:
so we went to costco the other day and bought coffee beans..and once we put everything in the car, we realized we didn't grind the beans, so we ran back to grind them. but they actually took away the grinder, so my mom amazoned (<--yes, i made that a verb) a coffee grinder and they're pretty expensive so my mom was like LET'S JUST GET THIS COFFEEE MACHINE INSTEADDD lol
my mom begged my dad by saying that he doesn't have to get her a diamond ring anymore lol
but honestly....this machine is worth the money and saves more money is more sustainable :)
AND THE COFFEE IS HEAVENLY. yummmmm :))
my grandpa keeps himself busy by taking cute pics of birds in his backyard and i think that's really cute. I feel bad for him because he literally hasn't left the house in months.
Lol, I wrote my photography history essay based off my grandpa's pictures and he was so happy and honored and i got a 100 on it soo BOO YAAA. THANKS GONG GONG! :)
lol, i literally had my lunch break outside of my house. daddy delivered me pancakes and coffeee :))) mommy made me breakfast obv
HAPPY MEALL!!
lol so i didn't find out until this promotion was almost over. but i found out that healthcare workers and police officers get a free "thank you meal" which is literally a happy meal without the toy.
so yeah, we went to two different mcdonalds everyday until the promotion ended. We all shared the meal tho...my mom and james shared the chicken nuggets and i had all the french fries :)
definitely not healthy but whateva. also got free coffee at wawa
totally taking advantage of all da free stuff i get heheheheh
hehe my mom is soo sweett :) On mother's day, she bought coffee, donuts, croissants, muffins, and scones for all the staff. <3 soo nicee!!
and a lot of families have been doing the same too! lol the amount of pizza i've had in the past like 3 months is crazy mann and one of our residents' family orders sandwiches and pizza for residents and staff every week since it all started!!
i'm telling you, SO MANY NICE PEOPLEEE OUT THEREEE
families visit the residents by window or by a facetime call...it's so cute and sad at the same time :(
HEYO JACKIESSSS!! I MISH YOU GURL
it's so weird that we are literally 5 minutes away from each other and we can't even see each other in person :(
i think dogs and humans live the same lifestyle now....eat sleep and poop LOL
OH YEAH..GUYS I GOT PROMOTED!! :DD
i'm the lead care manager now!! :) BWAHAH i'm the bo$$
umm idk how we've been so blessed with such nice neighborsss but our next door neighbor made us a loaf of bread
our other neighbors bought us indian takeout food :PP
AND OUR OTHER NEIGHBOR MADE DOG TREATS FOR TOFU!!
it's time like this where the world needs a bit more compassion and my neighbors are perfect examples :)
facetiming these cuties! <3
i miss them! <3
KAYUTE PIE!! lol..so i cleaned all my bedsheets and blankets a couple of weeks ago and i was too lazy to put the bedsheets on so i just slept on the floor...and euh i haven't slept back on my bed since cuz tofu sleeps with me every night now :)
but yes, i finally did make my bed....i also divorced my bed and married a floor mat thing :P
UP TO DATE TO TODAY..literally today 5/21
Lol, today I got TESTED for covid because it was mandatory for the whole staff. man, i was so scared for it man. There was such a long line to get tested but most of the people walked out with tears in their eyes or nose bleeds, but they were all like "it wasn't that bad" and i'm like HOW CAN YOU BE CRYING AND SAY IT'S NOT PAINFUL?!?!"
but actually once i took it, i understood....it's not painful..it's just uncomfortable and weird that someone is literally shoving a stick super high up my nose. lol....and the only reason why my eyes watered up was cuz the stick went so up my nose.
WHEEE AND I HAVE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN NEXT WEEK in order to guarantee the results -_- YAYAYAY so excited! -_-
fun times
they also tested all the residents...oh man...i was about to leave by then but i saw like 4 care managers holding down one of the residents as she was being tested :/
^heh lol ew. proof that i can't vlog lokgodkf
I've been wanting to get bangs for the past few days and i've been watching youtube tutorials for HOURS on how to do it....but then chickened myself out of doing it.
BUT UHH SOMEHOW IT LED ME TO CUTTING MY HAIR WHILE FACETIMING JACKIE.
i mean jackie is like the pro hair stylist tho..she has experience in cutting so many of her friends and family's hair...soo it was good that she was there to watch and give me feedback LOL
euh lol here's my mess that i still need to clean up merp
HERE IT ISSS :O
:)
AYOO FINALLY GOT TO USE THE HEART SYMBOL! <3
euh..i also can't wink at all lol
This is honestly so weird how this whole new lifestyle and regulations is literally our new normal. It's going to feel so weirddd when things actually go back to normal.
During this horrible and weird time, I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
This virus has definitely played a huge role in mental health, so i hope everyone is trying to find a bit of happiness through this.
we've all been affected by the virus negatively, but I think it also has benefited us in some way as well.
-for many of us, we get to make up the countless nights of all nighters lol and don't have to travel to work or school
-it's bringing families closer together..whether it's remotely or living in the same household..we're coming up with creative ways to having family gatherings
-euh well we get like $1200 for free from the government so like extraaa moneyyss $$$ UM YESHHH
-well for my family and i, this virus made us get an espresso machine and it starts our day off right. :)
i hope this blog is also brightening your day a bit :)
we have to find the little joys in our life right now!! :))
I think this virus also taught us to live a more simple life.
to enjoy life.
to take care of yourself.
to cherish your loved ones.
to enjoy nature.
to do more of what you love
to challenge yourself and start new activities
to appreciate the little things and don't take everything for granted
this virus also showed how many good and compassionate people there are out there. There is so much goodness in the world. The world is working together to combat this virus and i think that is amazing and pretty close to world peace...sorta..ishh..still bad things happening at the same time :( merp
We should find comfort and happiness in this during this unprecedented times :)
let's stay calm and focus on the positive!!..but also send love to those affected :) <3
I'm thinking of the patients who are fighting for their lives and the families who have lost their loved ones :(
to the essential workers and scientists/researchers who are working soo tirelessly for the world.
to the people who lost their jobs (SUPPORT SMALL AND LOCAL BUSINESSES).
to those who couldn't have their proper graduation.
Honestly, everyone has been affected by this virus, physically, mentally, financially. ugh it's horrible, but my heart is with everyone! sending you love!! <3
mkays with that said, stay safe and happy everyone! <3 :)
