Quick update

Hey guys! How have you been? It’s been a while! *blows dust off this blog*

I have been surprisingly busy the past few days especially with work. The economy is slowly getting back on its feet in this side of the world. In response to COVID-19 crisis, the Cayman Islands government has allowed residents, regardless of age, to withdraw at least 25% of their pensions. Guess what happened? Locals are shopping now more than ever and spending tons of their money on new stuff such as home renovations, appliances, air conditioning, and what not.

As you may all know, I work at an air conditioning and appliance business so sales has been crazy like it’s the holiday season. Can you imagine, in some parts of the world, people are starving and stressing on how to handle the pandemic, and here almost everyone got a huge payout.

We’ve been selling appliances like hot cakes. Most of our clients replace all their kitchenware in one go. It still amazes me how the first thing locals do is spend spend spend instead of saving their pension for a far better investment such as real estate (or whatever, just my two cents).

Also, all lockdown restrictions have been lifted since the third week of June so everyone can go anywhere as long as they practice the common courtesy of social distancing. Night clubs, bars, even restaurants are also allowed to welcome customers as long as the lounge is outdoors with minimum six people in one table.

Who would have thought that wearing as mask in this generation is considered a show of respect?

Also got my COVID test done via drive thru (thus photo above), got the results the same day, and thank God, negative!

Anyway, I barely get the time to open my laptop ever, let alone come up with blog topic ideas (by the way I have a couple listed down so I’m looking forward to write about them next week!). I am so busy with life apart from work, which I am very excited to share with you as soon as it materialises. I am also still learning how to drive, and will hopefully get a license and a car before the year ends!

Well that’s it for me, if you still know who I am! lol.

Thanks for sticking around!

    First time in Tokyo, Japan

    This trip to Japan was so unexpected. Me, my husband, my mom, my uncle, and my auntie all ended up going together. Thereโ€™s been a lot of drama with my mom lately, and I just wanted to take her somewhere new, somewhere she could breathe for a bit. I also havenโ€™t seen my cousin in years, so I thought, why not visit her in Tokyo? Then I invited my uncle and auntie too, hoping we could all have a happy, peaceful vacation as a family. I only had three weeks of vacation left for the year. I already used one week in Jamaica back in May and another week in Manila, so this basically gives me one week in Japan and one week in Korea…

    Living life offline (somehow)

    Hey there! How’s everything been on your end? I’ve been up to some interesting things lately, and I thought I’d share the highlights with you. So, buckle up, and let’s dive in! For starters, Iโ€™ve taken a bit of a social media detoxโ€”well, except for Reddit, of course. Itโ€™s been a game-changer. Without the constant scrolling and notifications, I’ve found myself living more in the moment, really soaking in the real-world interactions. Honestly, it feels like I’ve been living life more authentically. A couple of weeks ago, my bestie Beatriz and I decided to hit up a nearby restobar to unwind. Trust me, we donโ€™t do this often, so you can imagine my excitement! It was a Friday afternoon, the perfect time to shake off…

    Busy bee?

    It has been a very busy start of the month for me! First off, I tried to do this thing called “Keto” diet. I signed up for a meal plan that costs $670/month. Breakfast and lunch/dinner will be delivered daily, 100% Keto compliant, prepped by a renowned chef on island. I thought it was going to be easy. I thought all I had to do was eat whatever they provide me everyday. I had no idea it was going to be this excruciatingly difficult! On my third day, I started feeling nauseous and lethargic. It almost felt like the withdrawal I had when I stopped my SSRIs abruptly. My coworker said that when she did it strictly for the first time, she felt like she…

    Toronto Day 4: Winter Village at the Distillery District and St. Lawrence Market

    I thought I was completely prepared for my trip. It was only on the third day that I realized I badly needed a moisturizer. I had no idea that the cold weather could dry my skin so badly! I noticed bumps on my skin and my lips began to crack. I quickly realized that it was because of the chilly, dry breeze. As someone who has never lived in a winter climate, I didn’t know this could happen. Fortunately, I was able to purchase Mugwort Essence and Cream from the brand “I’m From” at Sukoshi Mart in Eaton Centre. After using it for just one night, my skin felt hydrated and refreshed. I appreciated that it didn’t leave a sticky feeling like some other moisturizers…
