i haven’t been religiously keeping up with some of the usual shows i diligently kept up during the qorldwide quarantine, but with how efficient my new workplace is with time management for everyone in the faculty, i’ve been able to get back to keeping up with shows that i enjoy watching! here are just a few of them:
tiny house nation (netflix) - while i don’t think i’d be able to live in a tiny house because i love the space, it inspires me to rethink about my spending habits when it comes to clothes, accessories, and even what i would consider as essential that aren’t really essential to my lifestyle if i think hard about it. i can only imagine the dread of plowing through an obscene amount of stuff (which we have a lot now at home sadly) when it’s time to dispose of them. i guess i’m grateful that it helps curb my spending habits while tickling my design-loving brain. (ृ ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ )ु
barbecue showdown (netflix) - it’s that one series i like going back to because most of the contestants are likable and each batch of contenders get better every season, and because i like watching people prepae and cook food, which inspires me to try cooking when i have the time and resources. i like learning techniques and cooking terms whenever the hosts or even the contestants get technical. i’m grateful that in spite of it being a netflix series, the people and events are not sensationalized as most reality TV shows are directed. the people in the competition don’t feel like characters, but actual people, and i love barbecue showdown for that!
cara nicole’s youtube channel - it’s not really a tv show, but out of all the videos i watch regularly recently, hers is one of my favourites, and actually something that i enjoy and look forward to watching and listening to because of the concise but meaty video essays she uploads about mindful consumption and sustainability. i’m truly grateful that there’s someone like her who could make me understand topics that i’ve always found confusing even if it has been explained to me several times already.
Daily Gratitude
August 4, 2024
Welcome to my gratitude support group! All are welcome to be a part of the gratitude crew. Re-blog, write a note or send an ask as often as makes sense for you (just once, every day, twice a year, a few times a month— doesn’t matter!)
I tag parts of the crew almost every day. If you’d like to be on the tag list let me know.
All posts will be tagged ‘resiliencewithin’s daily gratitude group’.
Prompt (if you want): What recent movie/tv show are you grateful for?
sleep escapes me still but it's 100% my fault for having little self control and drinking what was supposed to be my coffee for tomorrow (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू)
in my (f)unemployment season (so far), which is both by choice and not by choice because i chose to resign, but i also got rejected in all of the job applications i’ve applied for so far (so far, because we still be looking, and it’s only been two weeks since my last day at work) so unemployed not by choice, but by circumstance (?). anyway, this did allow me to catch up on some stuff (besides cleaning my room since i was 15 so that i can sleep soundly and not wake up with a bad case of allergies), and by stuff, i meant the regular rotation of the games i play:
here are updates no one asked for but i will update anyway!
rushed the month-long animal crossing new horizons’ museum event to celebrate the museum and galleries month. we also have our national cultural heritage month on may so that’s another reason to go back and visit my acnh museum since i wasn’t able to do so in real life ƈ ͡ (ुŏ̥̥̥̥ ‸ ŏ̥̥̥̥) ु not even blaming work since part of my last responsibility as a resignee is to finsih and submit all the necessary paperworks and other requirements for clearance (or i won’t get the last of my salary, and the Lord knows i need those funds to sustain me while i go looking for work), but i digress. anyway, usually i do drop by galleries and museums when i can during may since most museums and galleries do have their entrance fees revoked the entire month as a way to encourage more people to drop by so i’ll just do that next year irl.
i’ve been playing acnh since the year it was released, and if there’s one place in my island that i still love going around when i’m done with the intended tasks for the day, it’s the kemeroot museum (my island’s name is kemeroot, btw). ofc i took screenshots on my switch. here’s my character as she crams the stamp rally on the last day.
i remember how i used to play this religiously on the year of its release, that i was able to amass around 2k hours of running around kemeroot, terraforming, planting, landscaping, renovating, and decorating but i’m still not yet done with the ✨final form✨ of kemeroot. i’ve yet to check the number of hours i have alloted for this game now that i’ve been playing it again frequently.
june and july are months of hydrangeas in acnh, too, so i intend to do a lot of photoshoots and redecorating in my island because i love hydrangeas irl and in games.
another favourite in-game activity for me is visiting the cafe inside the museum, too. it’s only in-character for my acnh character to enjoy coffee the same amount as i do.
i totally forgot about the 10-photo limit tumblr imposes on mobile so there’ll be another entry that centers on unsolicited updates about genshin and star rail. and here i am thinking i could type them all down in one entry 😭
if there’s one small event in genshin that i find myself “getting sweaty” it has to be the short photo event. here are some of my okay pictures, and i’m saying okay because i actually had a difficult time getting the photo i want, in the composition that my head has already formed (but my hands failed to execute). that said, i still like them enough to post the ones i really like here. and can i just say that wriothesley looked immaculate in all three frames in the weeping willow area. zhongli, too, but that’s nothing new.
the requirements needed for each photos limited my attempt to make this photo event an exclusive photo shoot for all of my favourite genshin husbands. and someday, i’ll have the energy to crop out genshin’s logo on the side of each photos, but for now it will stay.
and of course, here are some goofy shots that i took.
i hope u are doing alright, my dear son chongyun!
i’m sorry neuvillette for capturing you looking so undignified in your charged attack.
there's a sudden urge in me to rewrite my kaveh x sort of self-insert fanfic at this ungodly hour. what is this behaviour.
i thought it was going to be a repeat of my argenti pulls where i reached hard pity and emptied the jades i accumulated in preparation for his banner when i saw the erudition logo on my screen, BUT aveturine immediately showed himself right after himeko showed up on my screen ₊*ˈ˚·(๑˃̶̡̢̥ ॣಐ ॣ˂̶̡̢̥๑)·˚ˈ*₊ now, i only have to worry about getting his lightcone so i’ll just have to play religiously again for the jades. and for the new addition to my husband collection: aventurine (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧
i just want to remember that luck was on my side when i pulled for aventurine with jades enough for one 10 pull (ㅇㅅㅇ❀)
I've added other types of blind box to the shop!! And the new ones are on sale for this weekend!!! we're so close guys, just €2000 more to go 🩷 thank you for your help reblogging and donating 🩷
i try to be grateful for many things, but the most grateful i’ll always be is for my hands. as an artist, my hands are definitely something i can’t (and don’t want to) live without. my mind conjures, and my hand creates. it is with my hands that i’m able to keep dabbling and rekindling my love for art making.
(kind of a shameless plug about some of the things i’ve done, but who else should celebrate my works but myself, right? right! ♡ॢ₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎)
another H that i am grateful for is my friend, whom i’ve kept in touch with regularly since i left one of my previous workplaces. not a lot of my friends have witnessed my most depressive state (and honestly, i wouldn’t be comfortable with most of my friends seeing me in that state since i know not all of them can fully grasp or even have the headspace to try to see things from my side just because of differences in our stages of life), but this friend has seen it, and still chose to remain a friend up until now that i’m beginning to heal from my previous season. i’ll always be grateful for her presence, support, and friendship, and i’m glad our paths ever crossed.
whenever our schedules aligned and we have time to meet up, we catch up over food, drinks, and art.

Prompt (if you want): Show gratitude for something that starts with the letter H.
last saturday, i took some time off my games and work to assemble a small flower made up of entirely building blocks (they're not really lego pieces so i won't call it lego). the tiny flowers and the flower pot kept falling off every time i add a piece, but after the initial frustration of having to restack the tiny parts each time they fall, i found myself too absorbed completing everything, and even added a few pieces to add more details. now i want to buy another one, and buy an acrylic casing to keep all of the tiny building block models safe from dusts and our cats at home.
ofc there's going to be a photoshoot of the final output with pocket kaveh (´。• ◡ •。`) ♡
i loved linkin park in high school, and i love them even more with their new vocalist (ㅇㅅㅇ❀) i am and might probably always be a sucker for rock bands with female vocalists especially because it’s a high school dream to be part of one but my singing voice is not of the rock kind.
please allow my weak jealuc heart to ✨believe✨ that diluc is implying his concern towards a certain acting grand master ♡͙♡͚₍⸉ॢ⸍͕͈ ˕̫ ⸌͔͈⸊ॢ₎♡͚♡͙ because who else is famously stressed and exhausted in mondstadt but jean our beloved? (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧
