life updates after a long week

 Hi guys! Today is a rainy day and it's a good time to journal. For the past week, I wasn't able to journal because I suddenly realized that journaling doesn't do much for me. In fact, it might be just like a diary to me that I will never read back again. But you know, I also realized that it is a little time for me to reflect. The good things that happened, the disappointing ones, and the depressing ones. I came to realize that journaling gives me peace. It's a self-reflection on how I feel about things and experiences. Going back to my previous week, a lot had happened. 

Last Tuesday, I drew ariana! It turned out well. I keep nitpicking the jaws of my portraits, it really seems off no matter how much I redraw it, just like this one. But it's part of the process, What matters is that I'm learning continuously <3

Then on the next day, mama and papa filed a leave to assist anton on getting his license, but they forgot the requirement at home so we didn't really get the license. We went to SM Southmall to grab some lunch and we tried a Japanese restaurant since papa had this 1k voucher. Since we reached an amount of 1k in our order, the restaurant gave us free cinema tickets for Kuman Thong (Filipino horror film) which I recently gave to Fae and CJM since no one is willing to watch with me :(. It was good food, but I think it's just too expensive. We proceeded to Hyundai, in front of SM, to acquire the cheque that Papa was talking about. It was 5k! Papa gave me 500 yay, after that, we went to eat in Jollibee for meryenda. I also bought milk tea right beside the entrance/exit door of SM. I forgot the name. But it was also delightful, the price is higher than our usual purchases of milk teas. I also bought a makeup mist/fixing spray and an H&M top which was on sale!! It was only 199. It was a very nice top that I wore in the hotel. 

Me, leigh, and kara have been waiting for this day for the longest time. Finally, our schedules aligned! We originally planned to gala and samgyup in SM Southmall, but we just made the most of our time there on pacific coast. So we stayed there on Pacific coast for the whole day just to catch up on things and mostly chika. We had a lot of good pics and leigh's mother ordered us pizza so that we wouldn't be urged to go to SM anymore lol!! So we just chilled and talked a lot while having this snack. They swam in the pool while I was just beside them sitting in the pool, my legs soaking in. I was genuinely happy that day and my heart was so light and fulfilled. It feels so great to talk with my real friends again after a long time. If only I could stay with them for another day, I really would like it! So yeah, I enjoyed my whole day with them, knowing we were very excited to meet each other right from the start of our planning. 

Last Saturday, we went to Citadines Hotel to attend a conference organized by Odfjell as kuya told us about. I wore my new H&M top and my white pants and my fit was dripping. I'm just kinda uncomfortable with how my top keeps falling off in the front, making the upper part of my bra visible. There were a lot of people at that event but I really got bored since there was no signal inside the conference room as well as the event was a whole day! 8-5 was tedious. So most of the event I just stayed outside the room or in the lobby to ease myself with my phone. What I mostly like are the food and snacks lol! And the freebie which is like a pouch/case wherein I transferred my art materials and makeup on it. I took 2 lol. We also won marks and spencer biscuit in a game yay. Sadly, we didn't win any raffle despite having so many draws. 

Overall, my week is very good! It is delightful. It might be tiring, but I had a lot of good experiences.
