Onto US: Phase 1

So my parents and brother left for the US a few weeks ago. My sister and I are to follow in less than three months time. In the mean time, my aunt is staying with us to basically take care of us. I've shed some tears because we're leaving soon. Mostly, because of my grandmother. But I know I'll visit soon and often after everything there is settled. I feel like I've been a lot more busy than I have been before my parents and brother left. Probably because there are many things now that are left in my responsibility. I've also been busy with looking for schools so I can take short courses that I can apply (hopefully) what I learn once I'm in the U.S. Honestly, learning make-up is the only thing I am interested in, but my mother told me to take hair cutting and hair coloring classes as well. It took a while of searching but I finally found a school that's near, inexpensive and short. I'll be enrolling soon.

In a few days, I'll be going to my first ever make-up workshop and I've been thinking about it ever since I availed of it. I'm so so so so excited to learn more about make-up. Right after that, my sister and I will go to Cavite to stay with my aunts, uncle, cousins and grandma for the Holy Week. I'll also be practicing and hopefully, getting my driver's license there, as well as do some shopping for clothes we will need for the cold climate. I really hope I pass the driver's exam so that by the time my sister's graduation and her grad ball comes around, I can drive her there and back.

I need to prepare my resume soon. Though to be honest, I don't have much to add from my previous one. I've also started selling some of my things so I can have less to have shipped to me in the future. It's quite stressful to sell though. I thought it would be easy as I have experienced buying things myself, of course. I'm not one to demand or ask things to anyone especially if it has been stated how they conduct things. However, I can't really be picky. I need to sell my things fast, so even though my first buyer asked to do some things differently, and ones that I had no prior experience in, I had to cave in. It did, in a way, open more doors to me. Having that additional option for my potential buyers made it easier to sell and negotiate. It's a lot of work. And these past few weeks, I've gone out more than I think I ever had in the previous months. I do find it quite fascinating to sell online. I quite like it.

What Now?

It has been a week since the board exams for Psychometrician were over. And I feel like I need time to rest and rejuvenate myself. In short, I have just been on the computer watching YouTube videos, movies and Criminal Minds (I'm currently on season 7). There are still things I need to do to finish up completely my school life, but I can't pick myself up to do it. I know I'll do it sometime this week but right now, and for the past week, there's just something that makes me lethargic and lazy. I've got around less than 4 months before we leave for the States and so much I want to accomplish before that. For some reason, I feel like if I don't do it here, I won't be able to do it there. Or it may take some time before I am able to. I just have to do it. Because it's for me. And honestly, the only thing stopping me is myself.

Writing Again

Helloo So.. It's been a while.. I don't want to go into details about what moved me to continue this idea I started years ago, but it was a lot of things happening right now plus watching this booktuber I recently discovered who's been doing these writing vlogs. Also, I was able to snag a 2 month free trial of Skillshare and I have been doing this creative writing workshop and has saved tons of other classes as well. So here we are. I decided to start with outlining my main characters and maybe the basic complete plot. I've been doing okay, I think and I have been enjoying it. I just love writing. Well, that's it for now. I just wanted to write something on here about this writing 'spurt' I had. Hopefully, I'll update soon after this. Pat

Anxiety, Procrastinating and Perfectionism

I'm an INFJ. When I took the MBTI test for this and got my results, I felt so... understood. I felt much more secure in who I am and my preferences. I've always thought nobody could fully understand how I work but here we are. But I also found a sort of peace with myself. I'm a human being. I'm complex. And although this test was pretty accurate in describing me, it's still not all of me, and that's okay. I've always known I'm a perfectionist. I want things done in the right way, at all times. If there's something I must do, I do it with utmost care and precision. If not, I'm not going to do it. That is why I procrastinate. Back then, it was so confusing and frustrating whenever I find myself procrastinating. If I'm a perfectionist, I should do everything asked of me with the right amount of time and never a second late, better if done early. So why do I procrastinate? It was the complete opposite. But when I read about why I procrastina...
