Some Hillbilly: Timeline

I'm suddenly reminded that i have not been putting things into writing for the past six months. It must be the aching deltoid muscle post booster, the freezing temperature, or the thin haze that blankets the sky. Sometimes there's too much or too little to share. Sometimes not every idea is viable and some words are just an impossible choice. So to keep this from ending up in the trash bin, i'm not forcing words onto the page, i'll be sharing photos instead.

July 03, 2021-- Random evening walk at Richard Bodeker Park, Diplomatic Quarter. Who doesn't love nature and fresh air? This park is next to the hospital where I work, so I sneak out from time to time. It's one best way to clear the mind.

July 07, 2021-- A taste of molds from Starbucks. lol

July 08, 2021-- A warm evening dip.

July 09, 2021-- Waiting for the baby to come out, and rehearsing water birth 😂

July 17, 2021-- After a good rain. Anything that's rain-related- the sound, the storm, the smell of the earth, the temperature, the color, the atmosphere, the aftermath-- heaven for pluviophiles. I love how it's gloomy and clear, and I love everything that comes with it.

July 18, 2021-- Elevator thoughts. I had this sudden #Hugot when I went on a short visit to the previous workplace. It's crazy how when you step out of the elevator you see the same place that now looks unfamiliar. Even the faces you used to see everyday are now strangers. And the voices, you only selectively recognize them. And you just hope to not totally forget. How much effort does it take to keep everything in place, to immortalize the lovely little things in your head, to smile at the crazy happy memories...when they are being snatched away in pieces, and your world is slowly turning upside down?"

January 05, 2022-- One small step, one giant leap 😭. Walked by myself to the embassy and it was one scary experience. Because i have very poor sense of navigation and I didn't know how to use the map. Finally figured it out after 3 hours, but because I don't know how to use Uber, I had to walk.
