Daydreamin’

always daydreamin’

06/10/17

I used to think nobody reads my blog, so why do I bother writing? Well, even if nobody reads what I write about.. I do not care. Nyahaha! This is my outlet. It’s this one place where I can vent out and share my thoughts about whatever. I’ve been much too lazy to write on my journals.

I have been thinking a lot and as much as I try not to think of anything and just let things go. Let things flow and let nature take its course.. Stuff like that. But I get anxious sometimes and the over thinker in me just wish I didn’t have to go through all this thinking. Like I wish I could just fast forward to that space and time wherein I’d have my tiny beach house and I’d crochet for a living because I’ve already saved enough money for Travis’ education til he graduates. I can only dream, for now.

I’d just be by the beach and I’d be writing about life and love.. All the good things and tragedies. I’d be sippin’ yummy yummy fruit shakes and eating my home-growned papayas. I’ll practice yoga on the sand by the sea shore. Do my morning walks and maybe run from time to time too. Dance to all my favorite music at night, under the big, bright and beautiful moonlight along the million stars that will shine and twinkle up in my sky — that will be my gift to me.

And oh I’d also draw mandalas and listen to sweet reggae music and be so in love with myself and life itself. Oh man, that would be the life. Living simply, day by day, helping others in need and trying to make this world a little bit better.. I am so excited about those days and I know I will get there, with or without anyone by my side. 

I’ll keep dreaming and visualizing that until it becomes my reality. ❁

20 minute crochet beanie for preemies ❤️

Hello, hello.. I’m still working on the dress tutorial but in between, I like to make little projects so I would feel some sort of accomplishment. and, storytime.. I was on Facebook just scrolling through my feed – which consists of all things crochet. and I came across this post from BayaniYarn I think – about them donating beanies for old people and preemies. I wanted to help in their cause but they are in Luzon and I’m far down south in Davao.. so it inspired me to start my own little donation thing. and I’m starting with these simple beanies for preemies.

I made an easy tutorial for beanies fod preemies ~ for those who wants to make these and donate, thank you 🧡✨

I’ll be donating to Preemiehood Davao – that’s their Facebook page. and I hope that others may also want to donate beanies to keep the babies in the NICU warm. this pattern that I posted works up quickly, so you can make a lot in just a few hours.. also please note that you should make use of cotton yarns/ milk cotton because the babies’ skin/ scalp are very sensitive.. ♡

I’m also planning to make beanies for our grandpas and grandmas in the homes for the aged here.. will possibly also make another pattern for that soon. those in Davao, you may contact me if you want to help and donate your crocheted creations as well.. I’m sure the parents of the babies and as well as our elders in the homes would very much appreciate this little gesture. ♡

love is..

wrote this right after I woke up from that strange ass dream haha! I said the exact same words to this man in the dream and after I said it to him (sort of like an advise) — he wouldn’t stop chasing after me like I swept him off his feet right away. 😜😂 na in love man nuon. Haaay nako haha

crochet is healing~

knottybon

crochet for me has been healing.. 🧡✨

there is a thought in every knot I make, a feeling.. ~ pauses in between ~ to just be, to feel the music, to feel the hurt, to cry, to take it all in and eventually let it out.. and then realizations about how grateful I am for so many things ~ my Travis who is the sweetest, the few people who genuinely love me, my senses, and being able to see and feel nature around me ~ the simple basic thing wherein I’m able to see the world every day is already something to be grateful for.. having these beautiful visions is another..

I’m still filled with gratitude for all the good and the bad experiences ~ because they’ve all brought me here ~ this mindset and the woman I have become and still am becoming 🌿✨
