The Commute Home

What do I find?
What can I find
through the hills and holes of the underground?
A brisk wind travels through the train windows
as the rush of the tracks moves us forward.


I sit and stare.
A tired mind listens to the constant entrances and exits.
Echoes of movement follow the train as it speeds
toward everyone’s different destinations.
Slow, steady steps lead upward—
an automated climb back to the street.


Some arrive late.
Some arrive right on time.
Some step off exactly when they need to.
People rest.
People rush.
People stare at their phones.


Another step outside.
Wind against my face.
I reach my destination:
bouncing elevators,
broken mailboxes,
the same yellow and brown hallway.
The familiar clutter.
The low evening quiet.

But somewhere in the middle of all of this,
I practice patience.
Each ride home
is another chance
to become a little better
than I was before.

Basic Food, Seasonings & Soap

The most important invention in your lifetime is…

I would say these two are my i’m thinking that they’re the most important invention in my lifetime.

Well first of all, so because it came to me from a manga and an anime called Dr Stone.

They said some really important points that was just like rebuilding the world. But the one ingredient and factor that helped would be the creation of soap.Because it helps in different situations.

Well, first you gotta be hygienically clean.

And second, it prevents illnesses like with touching and especially the time with the pandemic, how it’s important to wash your hands. And the bacteria would be gone, and it would be prevented from spreading around even including disinfecting wipes.

This substance or small thing has really helped throughout time that I really didn’t think about until now.


The second will be basic food and the creation and invention of different dishes/cuisines and how it transformed.

It also came from watching many tv shows with watching Masterchef growing up and especially from anime like Food Wars. But I did notice one thing that was important, that came from One Piece.

It’s something that a character named Zeff said. And I kind of thought about it in general and seriously, when you’re abandoned, there are no where around you like let’s say an island.

The first thing that is important isn’t how much money you have or electricity or social media or all the superficial stuff….

The first factor you think about is shelter, but most especially food.

And after I saw the scene where he made that sacrifice, and he was thinking about Sanji, and he let him eat, and he didn’t even have any food for himself, just jewels and gold. And treasures that didn’t mean really mean anything.

He remembered and made a good point and how we should never waste food. And that for me that makes me kinda regret a lot. And the respect for resources, because what’s the point if you can’t feed yourself to survive and grow.


Seasonings is an unnoticed thing. That kind of made me realize how grateful that seasonings were invented or discovered.

Because they kind of they transformed food in a wonderful way when learning about meal prepping and switching from eating out and not even eating from fast food for 2 years now. For me and just looking up different recipes with seasonings and styles and appreciating and loving different aromas makes me think it’s a good invention.

Macbook Air: 8 Years and Still Using

Write about your first computer.

My first computer that I bought for myself eight years ago and i’m still using, in the present day is a Macbook Air 2017.

Well, because I was heading first into college. And my dad just informed me that having a personal computer really helps.

Than, relying on handwritten notes…..

You can write notes and record on the computer.And it’s good to store and have especially transitioning into college life.

And it’s still with me today.

Well, never really thought of using or buying a new one?

Because it’s already good to use. Even though it’s been eight years, but it is slowing now. But i’m still grateful that I still have it.

Hey….helps save money than buying a new one every 3 to 4 years.

Marathon/Hike to the Top

What could you try for the first time?

Since I started my fitness journey last year .I really wanted to work on my endurance and grit for long periods.

And I’ve seen people who’ve built up and grown so much in their fitness journey and put so many activities and have really tried one marathon as a realistic goal.

Like, I remember one of the famous movies, I’m not sure. It has something to do with a famous boxer or a person in training. When a person runs up the stairs and then cheers as they reach their goal.

I wanna try to do that. Maybe running a 5k marathon or hiking up a big trail like a mini mountain to reach the top or finish line and look down and say…

Yeah, I did it.

And since I’ve always been sedentary and put some workouts in my routines, I’ve never tried running a marathon as a nice fitness goal, and running as an activity so that could be something I can try for the first time.

Spacious but with a Modern Flair

What does your ideal home look like?

What would my ideal home look like…

I’ve always loved the modern flair, but a little bit of the classic side with stone and with grass.

Option 1

I would like maybe two or three stories. I love a basement with a separate kitchen, but I’m not wanting in interior design but I have an interest in it.

I love a big yard, maybe, with a small swimming pool. Also, whether I’ve attached barbecue, I would love summer barbecues to cook in my own house.

Plus I would like to have lots of rooms. Just a big kitchen and a place where I can work and a place where I can work out inside, with machines so I can have good focus.

Option 2

Storytime Before Sleep

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

Last thing I searched for was children’s educational bedtime stories.

I searched for it because I was worried about my sister-in-law. She said that both of her kids, my niece and nephew. They are not sleeping well through the night.

And she is getting tired and having baby blues.

I just wanted to help, because I thought maybe adding a routine and making sure they know when to go to bed and signal for that is that most kids like bedtime stories and kind of sleep when their parents are reading it to them. So they can have good dreams and their imagination can go wild.

Storybooks for children are a good investment. Because it really adds to their childhood plus kind of takes away from them being too addicted to technology which even happens to little kids.

It’s like reset not to look at anything just to relax and listen and just drift off to sleep.

I didn’t have any storybooks when I was a kid only when I loved going into the library but I plan on doing that when I have my own family.

Mix of Morning & Evening

What’s your favorite time of day?

My favorite time of day? 🤔

Well a couple of years ago, it would be a different answer…

But now I do love the mix of mornings 🌄 and evenings 🌆

Now that I have added a morning routine with some tips of:

  • Making my bed
  • Drinking a glass a water when I wake up
  • Adding a skincare routine
  • Exercise (HIT, Stretch, Pilates)
  • Good Breakfast

Love when the sunrise hits and I see a hue of beautiful colors.

For evenings, I like just shutting off from work and relaxing freely.

Look back at the day and drinking some tea and reading a good book and eating a warm dinner.

Plus evenings help to:

  • Plug out of work mode
  • Set yourself up for tomorrow
  • Warm dinners
  • Good kickback entertainment that brings a smile
  • Read, relax and reset
  • Do something for yourself

A Mix of an Anime World – Alternate

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

I’m such a huge anime fan, that if I had to choose an alternate universe to explain my life in there….

It can be between 2 options, so why not both? 😄

Option 1: Alternative Universe (One Piece)

I wake up on the top of my big pirate ship… 🚢

Sun beams through and one my crew members calls me down for breakfast

Quickly change and get ready and hop on a nearby rope and swing down and land on my vice captain and my medical help and laugh together

And go into the kitchen to a nice meal and loud fussing of my 12 pirate crew

We all laugh and play around

If there is any trouble, I will help defend and fight to get the navy off my back

Escaping and challenging myself to next big threat

So in summary, my life would be carefree and finding adventure and meeting so much people and feeling free on the sea. 😉

Option 2: Alternate Universe (Detective Conan)

Waking up in a big mansion in my house with my family, 2 big brothers and one big sister. 😀

My parents would be well-known and give me more freedom and fewer restrictions.

My brothers would be a police officer high executive and the other would be an entertainer. My sister would be a doctor that is overly cautious.

Me… I would be in high school and working to be a detective like the main character.

Also, I would work with the police department as a consultant to help with cases no matter how dangerous.

I’ll wake up doing the nice routine and say hello my family members. Mom and Dad are off on a business trip but still have the make time to video call us.

My 3 or 4 classmates comes to pick me up for school and we all work together.

I would an acquaintance that I argue, but it will be one of those instances where I argur with him all thr time but don’t know when I start to fall for him

I would have a scientist as friend with a small family friend that helps me and build me different I can use.

I use a scooter or electric scooter to get places and have the wind in my hair where I can  do what I would like.

I would have lots of hobbies, one being karate, karuta or dance that I could go.

Still having responsibilities but feeling more me and better.

Summary in  this alternative would be a smart high school girl detective who helps when there is trouble that lurks in any corner and be sharp like Sherlock Homles or Ms. Marple.

A Little But Can Be Different

Was today typical?

Well, it’s a typical summer day when the sun is shining, but a little bit different…

As before I would not have woken up so early to exercise, trying to get motivated by going for a bit of a walk and having a little bit of a proper routine.

It’s a bit typical, but sometimes I’m trying to work on adding a little bit of new activity or mindset each day. Either learn a new fact or do something that I haven’t done before.

For instance, I never really went for a walk in the morning, even though I was a little bit inside, I stretched my legs.

Also never really spent outside, mostly since I have a hybrid job, but I’m trying to spice up the typical day.
