about what i'm writing # 1

It's been a week (or more) since I posted anything here. Maybe I should make it a habit to post a video at least once a week, huh? That way, I can still be consistent. In any case, I decided to start doing this since I am a writer. I noticed that I rarely talked about the stories I've been writing and still writing. This is the start of it as I plan to talk about one story at a time, even if I have to do it in a short video. I know majority of those upcoming videos would be more or less under a minute. Then again, that's how I'd like to do it. 😁✌️

in saying the words

I guess I won't be able to do daily posting as much as I want to. But I still want to do this on a weekly basis. Maybe 2-3 videos in a week. That's doable, right? The words I placed in the video was the question that came up to me while doing this particular walk heading to town. I said to myself that I want to include that in my silent vlog at some point, so I did my best to remember it. To be honest, I still don't know how to properly answer that. Maybe it's a lifetime learning process that I should try emulating or knowing over and over.

first 2025 journal entry

I was only able to record one video yesterday since most of what I did was to sleep to make up for the lack of it past midnight after the commotion of the New Year died down. Wait, should I really call it a commotion instead of a celebration? Anyway, this was just a timelapsed version of me writing my first entry for 2025 in my journal last night. I mean, I still want to post here as consistently as I can. Not to mention, this is what my night usually looks like.

should i or should i not?

Happy New Year! I hope all of you watching (and even those that aren't watching) were able to welcome the brand new year with hope, confidence, and determination.

This is a crazy attempt on this silent vlog, that's for sure. But you know, this could possibly help me with my language learning goals. So yes, I'm open to corrections and any pointers on the (obviously) Google-translated transcripts below the usual English ones I'd put. I want to be able to learn more about the language this way. I want to take it slow, and without putting too much pressure on myself while learning Japanese.

another 3 days' worth

This is another 3 days worth of video clips (Dec. 27-29, 2024) that I just randomly filmed while going about with my life now that the year is about to end. I mean, it's crazy to think that the year just passed by fast for me. It's going to get busy again now that we have to prepare and buy the things we needed for the Media Noche this New Year's Eve. And for this silent vlog, I decided to talk about the one thing I chose to do with regard to my blog and my journal entries. Just so I have something to talk about and post daily. I still haven't given up on the idea of daily posting on my blog, you know. 😊✌️

3 days' worth (merry christmas 😊🎄!)

This is 3 days worth of video clips (Dec. 24-26, 2024), since I still tried to film whatever random and short clips that I can even when busy. I should've edited it in each day to make the usual 30 seconds mini vlog. But the fatigue would really get to me. So I decided to compile them all. I hope you guys have a good Christmas. 😁🎄😊💕✌️

20241225 Dear HARU,

Merry Christmas, HARU! I know I can only greet you here and not in person. Then again, I'm pretty much shy to even make a move to try and talk to you. I might end up complaining about my day here again, so I'll be apologizing in advance.

Hey... Do you really think I should be selfish and self-centered at some point of my life? Sorry for asking something like that. That's actually what I said in my journal. But I know that it's something quite hard to do in reality. And yet I might consider doing that, even with all the complaints that I could ever do both to you and to my journal.

just a dream of mine

This is actually two days worth, since I didn't get to post yesterday. I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep before I knew it. Things would surely get busier starting tomorrow, so it would be a miracle if I managed to even post here by then. But it would surely be an achievement if I ever did, right? 3 more days before Christmas. 😁✌️🎄

just wanting to write

I made it! Got to finish this and posting this before midnight. Holiday rush is still going on and it's tiring me out. But I got to write! After a long while. 😁✌️

showing up again

I didn't get to film anything yesterday because of all this holiday fuss that was making me tired the whole time. I mean, I often find myself sleeping before I knew it. But missing a day was already bad enough for me. I was supposed to include a writing vlog here and make this silent vlog a little over a minute to make up for the ones I didn't get to film yesterday. Didn't happen. Yikes! But this was still longer than my usual short vlog. So... I guess it's still a win for me? 😁✌️

more walking done

Yup. I broke the chain after 9 days. Sorry. But I was so tired that all I want to do was to sleep already. I don't feel bad, though. I was doing this as more of a favor for myself than anything. And because of that thought, I didn't feel as bad as I was expecting now that I missed a day of posting after making a self-declaration or something. The deal here was for me to do this consistently and regularly. And I think I did a good job. Now I just have to keep it up. 👍😁✌️

scared of mundane

So I decided to have the clips taken while I was outside the house. Nothing about the inside of any building or the house. I don't know why I decided that, but I think it's good to do this from time to time.

just start

I guess I'm making this a sort of a journal of my thoughts that included random clips of my daily life, huh? Well, I just realized that today. Kind of strange, isn't it?

my reason for doing this

There are a few things I tried doing here while editing the video. And I will keep doing what I can to improve while keeping everything short and hopefully, something people can take inspiration from.

papers and cooking

For the first time since I started doing this, I haven't put a clip of my face here. Not that it would change anything. But I was in a hurry to do this, to be honest. Maybe I'm just doing this so I won't break the chain.
