Coffee & Connect: Week 1

It’s Sunday. We made it through the week! So let me ask you something, how have you been? Well in my case, it’s a pretty normal week but a little more productive than the last one. Let me share my activities with you in bullets.




Monday

  • Went to work, nothing new except a ton of paperwork. Our business has been classified as “essential” so I spent some time to work in the office.
  • Went home pretty early and played Mobile Legends with my friends.
  • Watched Community on Netflix (already watched this when I was in college but it’s such a great sitcom I don’t mind rewatching it over and over again!)
  • Started reading The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. Thanks for the recommendation Anika!
Tuesday
  • Impulsively cut my hair to shoulder length
  • Published my Food for Thought topic entitled “Why can’t we just print money?”
  • Stayed at home and did some house chores due to the curfew restrictions of COVID-19 (people with last names ending in A-K are only allowed to do errands every MWF, the rest are TTTHS, and Sunday is a 24-hour lockdown)
  • Watched the new season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Netflix
  • Read some blogs on my blogroll. I love love love reading blogs because it somehow makes me have some sort of connection with other people (even tho they don’t notice it hehe). Being the introvert that I am, this recharges me. If you have a blog and want to link up, just leave a comment either here or in my directory. Let me know. I am all about discovering new blogs and making friends ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wednesday

  • Went to work. Surprisingly a lot of customers called. I mostly did dispatching and sales. Haven’t done much payroll and invoicing today, so will need to catch up on a pile of paperwork before pay day. Daily deposits are also surprisingly stagnant — not much of a difference since the quarantine began.
  • Made a list of topics to cover for my series and my goals and aspirations for my blog this year (might sound cliche but writing it down is very effective!). Thanks for the inspiration Michelle!
  • Started reading What if it’s us?  by Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli

Thursday
  • I had to ask someone to deliver my passport to the consul because it is expiring, and since I cannot go out of the house due to the curfew restrictions
  • Started the draft and photo selection for my ExploreFridays topic entitled “Walt Disney World”
  • Stayed at home and played Mobile Legends with my friends (I’m now a Grandmaster II!)
  • Started watching The Bodyguard on Netflix — I will make a review of the shows I’m watching soon^^
Friday
  • Went to work but wasn’t able to do much especially payroll because A. LOT. OF. CUSTOMERS. ARE. CALLING.


But I’m always happy assisting customers. Mr. Charly, my regular, came by and bought his usual order — a suspension rod. My co-worker doesn’t like people coming in and out of the office (paranoia caused by the pandemic). He felt discriminated so I explained the situation and asked for his understanding. We had a quick chat and he asked me how I’m holding up when suddenly he gave me a… +drumroll please…+  generous tip! Thank you Mr. Charly! Will never forget! ๐Ÿ’•

  • Published my Anywhere with Choi topic entitled “Walt Disney World”
  • Watched Love, Wedding, Repeat on Netflix. Can I just say Olivia Munn’s acting has improved a lot since The Newsroom? I love her!
  • Played Mobile Legends with friends but since they are ranking up to Epic level and they don’t want the banning and stuff, we created smurf accounts so we can all still enjoy playing in lower ranks lol




Saturday
  • Which is today — drafting my week summary entitled “Coffee & Connect: Week 1”
  • Looking for a blogging forum where I can learn some tips from the pros. I came across The Grow and Glow Community but it doesn’t have a free trial so I’m still wondering how it is like. Do you think I should take my chances and subscribe for a monthly fee of ยฃ15? Let me know and share some of your blog communities!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
  • Will now play my Mobile Legends smurf account with friends.
  • Will just stay at home for the rest of the day and will be active here and on twitter.
And that’s it! How was your week? I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Til next time^^


PS. Special thanks to Diane for the cover photo!

  • Walt Disney World

    Walt Disney World

    I went to Orlando Christmas last last year to do some shopping and went to Disney World while I’m there. My trip was only for three days and there was nothing much to do in such a short span of time. My goal really was just to spend some time away from the island and buy reasonably priced clothing among other things. I remember arriving on the 23rd of December and leaving on the 26th. I have come to realize that shopping in the USA at this time of the year, apart from Black Friday, is not a good idea — mainly because everywhere is packed with people and almost all stores are already empty! So in the end, I had barely bought anything lol…

  • Holidays 2022

    Holidays 2022

    Hi friends! Happy holidays to you and your families ๐Ÿ™‚ The past couple of days has been “ugh” for me. Well it’s the time of the year where you have a long holiday, then work 2.5 days in between, before the long holiday again. So that little break in the momentum ruins the spirit, and I feel like all my co-workers share the same sentiment. lol Christmas eve was sooooo busy. A lot of people were doing last minute Christmas shopping, including me. Can you believe I had to wait good 20mins in line just to have all my gifts wrapped? I should’ve just wrapped it myself! But meh, can’t bother.  We were dismissed early from work so I had to do all my other…

  • Hell yeah it’s 2023!

    Hell yeah it’s 2023!

    Hi friends! Yay for my first post in 2023! New years hasn’t been that exciting for me. I’ve discovered a lot about myself in 2022, and one of those is I HATE FIRECRACKERS! That’s probably why I didn’t enjoy the countdown lol. I mean, would you agree that it is such a perfect way to waste money? Not only does it cost bucks but also it’s loud and dangerous, all for a 3-second enjoyment. Doesn’t make sense. There, I said it!  Anyway, we celebrated new years eve at a resort here in Cayman. It has been a tradition for us to do a staycation over the festive holidays. I also did some well-deserved shopping to treat myself for thriving through 2022! Got myself a new…

  • Motherโ€™s Day and Birthday Celebrations

    Motherโ€™s Day and Birthday Celebrations

    On May 10, my family celebrated both Motherโ€™s Day and my momโ€™s birthday at the Lobster Pot in George Town. Ever since my mom arrived on the island, she had been talking about wanting to eat lobster, so we figured there was no better place to take her than Lobster Pot. We had originally requested an outdoor table when making our reservation because we thought it would be nice to enjoy the waterfront views. Little did we know it was going to be scorching hot that day! On top of that, the restaurant was packed with families celebrating Motherโ€™s Day. We ended up waiting a while before we could finally be accommodated inside. For those who havenโ€™t been, Lobster Pot is one of Caymanโ€™s long-standing…

  • Cayman Turtle Centre

    Cayman Turtle Centre

    Did you know that turtle meat is one of the national delicacies in Cayman? Where I’m from that would be bizarre to hear but interestingly enough it is not in this side of the world. The Cayman Turtle Centre is a conservation facility for turtles and also tourist spot here in West Bay. I’ve only been there once when I was 13 and never dared to go back until a couple of days ago. I got the urge to go visit due to a number of calls I receive from their Aviary department regarding problems with refrigeration. If you didn’t know yet, I work under a contractor for refrigeration so everytime the farm has some problems with their coolers, ACs, or fridge, I arrange for…

  • Halloween in Cayman Islands 2020

    Halloween in Cayman Islands 2020

    Hey guys, you might have already read my post the other day about The Hallotober Tag. I mentioned there that I love Halloween because I like dressing up, going to parties, and having fun on spooky community events. Last year, I went on a Halloween party bus (with missions and games) and since then I’ve always looked forward to this years event.  My costume was ready since the beginning of the year. Yes, that’s how excited I was! I even signed up on three events: Fright Fest: The Strand Block Party, Nightmare on Walker’s Road, and Dead On Arrival: All Inclusive Halloween Event. Finally, the wait is over! This year, I dressed up as… *drum roll please*… Sailor Moon! The Fright Fest is an annual event and has…
