A quick search through my inbox for a purchase confirmation of an ebook I remember purchasing led me down a rabbit hole of forgotten conversations and email threads. I saw an email response to a TinyLetter I sent out back in 2015 and I thought, "Wow, people used to subscribe to my thoughts and actually bother to send me emails to reply." I read through old blog posts and marveled at how I used to recount my day to day no matter how mundane, and now I regret not following through. A chunk of my late 20s and early 30s would have been fun to look back to when I get older.
Writing is still my preferred method to express my thoughts but I don't have as much time to wax poetic about my everyday experience, and so I thought of turning to this current generation's platform of choice: video. My husband and I got a new Insta360 Go Ultra in the hopes of documenting our domestic bliss, and I am excited to bring it everywhere.
Lately I had been feeling the need to reconnect with friends and create new connections. I am very happy with my husband and I never get bored with our little life, but I still feel that hankering for community. Here are the things I was up to in the last two weeks. (ღ˘⌣˘áƒ¦)
Community Garden Club
One of the reasons why I love living here is the many activities the Property Management Office and residents come up with to engage the community. One of this is the Community Garden Club held two Saturdays ago to encourage plant-lovers and greens enthusiasts to plant herbs and vegetables in the community garden.
We even got to go home with our chosen seeds to plant at home. I will plant these in our living room balcony when we move to our new home.
Journal Club at The Beach House
My friends and I started doing this years ago (nine years, to be exact) but it became just another forgotten hobby. I am so happy we revived it!

I also donated stickers for the benefit of Cats of Kapitolyo. Here is Shelly, The Beach House's resident cat, as cat photo tax. When you visit The Beach House, please consider buying these stickers and/ or donating!
Watercolor date with sisters and friends old and new
It has been years since I picked up a brush but I had been on a roll with trying and reviving things so, why not? It was an impromptu invite to our wedding photographer turned friend Mykee of Willow, and I am so glad we got a lot of other friends to join! We held it at Seltsam last Saturday while it was raining hard outside, and the venue was perfect for some quiet and cozy painting time accompanied with sprinkles of girl talk.

All these and my other attempts at other things/ hobbies will be documented on my revived TikTok account, Krissy Tries. Please connect with me there if you feel inclined to do so. As always, thank you for your support, and I hope you are well. Please take care of your hearts.
