📷 Day 12: panic #mbsept

Taken while eating breakfast at a hospital a month ago. This was a woozy day.

A green plate with rice, one hotdog, and a bitten-off banana are in view. Two green cups are also to the side, because Chi is eating breakfast with her mom.

yesterday was a daze

getting back into it again today

📷 Day 11: retrospect #mbsept

This was the digital screen interface at the Ayala Museum when I visited a few months ago. Nice to see a copy of their recorded music preserved in the museum 😊

Digital interface at the Ayala Museum showing a grid of the different items collected and displayed at the museum. The item currently selected is the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company, vol. 2 music CD. It is located in the Filipinas Heritage Library at the 6th floor as part of the Himig Collection.

📷 Day 10: cycle #mbsept

how apt that this is today’s prompt 💖 Here’s me with my trifold brompnot during the Car-Free Morning at Ayal Ave. 😁

Chi smiling and posing with her red Banian trifold bike, which is partially folded, while in the middle of Ayala Avenue because it's a Car-Free Sunday morning event. She is wearing a white t-shirt that has the text, "#KabaBIKEihan" printed, and gray shorts and black sandals. On her bike, her red GoFar front mounted bag is attached, and her red Lumos helmet is also strapped to her bag.

📷 Day 9: language #mbsept

I took this photo while I was reloading my easycard in Taiwan. I found it amusing that they had a Tagalog translation 😄

Interface of the easycard reloading and ticket buying machine in Taiwan. The language currently selected and shown on screen is Filipino, and the labels for all buttons are all translated as such. Other options available are: Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesia, Vietnamese, German, French, and Spanish.

📷 Day 8: yonder #mbsept

forgot to post yesterday!!! huhu i broke my streak 😆

this was taken when we were at a rest house near the sea during a storm.

View of the backyard of a rest house in Zambales, Philippines. This was taken while there was a typhoon leaving the country, and part of the typhoon's tail was around the area, bringing cloudy skies, strong wind, and constant rain that would strengthen or weaken depending on the hour. Over the distance, the sea is at high tide, brought about the effects of the typhoon.

It’s only been a few days since we finally got Figma access for our team at work and I feel so powerful. 2 deliverables I would’ve taken maybe more than a week to work on was now finished in 2 days 😂

All because I felt more at home with the tool, and I wasn’t taking a break every 30 minutes or so after it either hangs, or I try to do something and it does something I didn’t intend to do 🥲

Here comes the construction sounds happening at like… 10PM. Why tf is someone jackhammering something at this hour?! 😑

📷 Day 7: panorama #mbsept

I rarely take actual panorama photos with my phone, but maybe this’ll count? View of the clouds during my flight from the Philippines to Thailand ☁️🤩

View outside a flight en route to Thailand from the Philippines. The glare of the sun is out of the frame, but its light shines brightly on the fluffy sea of clouds, further defining their shape. The sky above the clouds is a calming type of blue, reinforcing how serene the heavens look.

📷 Day 6: (oh) well #mbsept

This was a moment that got me to go, “oh well, I’m drenched in the rain, but at least I’m near home.” 😅

(I tried to see if I took any photos of actual wells, and… I have photos of other things with water, but not wells 😆)

Selfie of Chi in her rain gear for her bike commute, wearing her red Lumos helmet and a black rain poncho. Both the poncho and her helmet are visibly drenched or have rain drops on them, and Chi's making a dejected or kind of exhausted face.

I really hope in the future I don’t have to call or check in advance if the venues I’m going to allow (folding) bikes inside, or at the very least have accessible bike parking within or nearby. 🙏🏻

We finally have Figma access for our team at work!!! 😭💖 Finally hahahuhuhu I can feel more at home in what I use for designing 🥲

My calls to my bank’s customer service calls are longer than my meetings. 😆😅

This is generally a summary of why I’m still focused on Yakuza: Like a Dragon 🎮 more now. I’m just taking my sweet time with all of the side quests and minigames. 😁

Screengrab of a cutscene from the game Yakuza: Like a Dragon, where Ichiban Kasuga, the game's protagonist, is seen squatting to look at a cat that is on its back and is showing its belly to him. In the background you can also see Part-Time Hero, who is the owner of the cat, behind an office desk.

📷 Day 5: forest #mbsept

This was from first trip to Europe, back in 2022. We rented bikes and rode along the bike paths around Amsterdam to get around. 😊🚲

Chi is seen walking and pushing a Dutch bike to her left, while along a bike path somewhere in Amsterdam. The path continues on straight, and lots of trees can be seen lining up both sides of the bike path, providing ample shade from the sun.
∞

Alright, I’ve caught up to the photoblogging challenge 😁 back to my gaming. 🎮 Yakuza: Like a Dragon time 😎

(if ever you’re wondering, no, I haven’t finished Baldur’s Gate 3 yet. I got caught up in Ichiban’s story 😆)

📷 Day 4: orange #mbsept

Chi's order of Thai milk tea with choco caviar from Pang Cha, which is raised under the neon orange sign that reads: "Thailand's original Pang Cha".
∞

these were all just from today. My goodness. Who are all these numbers and why do y’all keep calling??

Does this also happen to people in other countries? Is this just a PH thing? 😵‍💫

screenshot of Chi's Recent calls list, showing a slew of missed calls from unknown callers or numbers.

📷 Day 3: precious #mbsept

My preciouses. I don’t own cats yet, so this’ll have to do for now. 😝

(also haven’t colored in the big fat cat yet!)

Chi's 3d-printed cats, given to her by her boyfriend. She has one big fat cat, which is based on the fat cat in FFXIV, and 4 smaller Neko Atsume style cats that have their eyes, nose, mouths, and some patterns colored in with a black marker.

📷 Day 2: buildup #mbsept

The view underneath the roof of the McDonald's branch Chi was eating breakfast at. There are a lot of corners on the roof, somewhat akin to a lightning bolt shape. Also seen in view are some above-ground electric lines, and further in the distance are some high-rise condominium buildings.
