It’s Been a While! A Little Life Update 🌷🐾🎄

Hello there! 💗

Wow, I just realized that I haven't written a blog post since March! It's been months, and honestly, life has been keeping me busy with so many different things. Before I knew it, time just flew by!

So, what have I been up to lately? Quite a lot, actually! From decorating my room and learning AI to exploring new places, trying new recipes, and taking care of five cats, there's plenty to catch up on.

🏡 Room Decorating, AI, and Creative Projects

I've been busy decorating my room and making my space feel more cozy and personal. At the same time, I've also been learning more about AI tools and experimenting with different ways to use my skills.

This naturally led me to explore various social media platforms, where I've been trying out creative ideas and learning more about content creation. There's always something new to discover in the world of AI, so I've been enjoying the process of learning and experimenting along the way.

🧳 Airbnb Adventures and Staycations

I've also been exploring different Airbnbs and enjoying staycations with my twin sister. It's always nice to take a break from the usual routine, stay somewhere different, and enjoy a change of scenery.

Whether it's checking out a place's interiors, relaxing in a cozy accommodation, or simply spending quality time together, these little getaways make life more interesting. They also give me inspiration for decorating my own space!

🍪 Baking and Plant-Based Cooking

Another thing I've been exploring is baking, especially cookies and other treats. I've also been experimenting with cooking and trying different plant-based dishes.

It's fun learning new recipes, discovering ingredients, and seeing how everything turns out. Not every experiment will be perfect, of course, but that's part of the experience! I might even share some of my baking and cooking adventures here someday.

🐱 Life With Five Cats

Of course, I can't forget my five cats! Looking after them is a big part of my everyday routine, from feeding them to keeping everything clean and making sure they're comfortable. Life with five cats can be a handful, but they also bring so much personality and fun into the house. 🐾❤️

🎄 Christmas Is Already Here at Home!

Believe it or not, I've already decorated our home for Christmas! I know it's still October, but I'm happy to get into the festive spirit early. There's something about Christmas decorations that makes the house feel extra cozy and cheerful.

Now, I'm planning what food to order and have delivered for the holidays. This year, I don't feel like cooking everything myself. 😂 I'd rather keep things simple, order delicious food, and enjoy the celebrations without spending too much time in the kitchen. I enjoy baking and experimenting with recipes, but sometimes it's nice to let someone else do the cooking!

🌷 A Little Bit of Everything

Looking back, this year has been filled with different hobbies, projects, experiences, and everyday responsibilities. I've been learning new skills, exploring creative opportunities, enjoying little getaways, experimenting in the kitchen, taking care of my cats, and preparing for the holidays.

I guess that's why I haven't been blogging much. I got caught up in life, and months passed without me realizing how long it had been since my last post.

But I'm happy to be back! I hope to share more of my experiences here, whether it's about AI, room decorating, baking, plant-based food, travel, or simply little things happening in my everyday life.

I don't know how often I'll post, but I'll try to update this little corner of the internet whenever I can.

To anyone who's still visiting my blog, thank you for being here despite my long absence! 💗

Here's to more creativity, new experiences, cozy moments, and a stress-free holiday season.

Until next time, take care and enjoy the little things in life! 🌷✨🐾

Creating My Happy Space at Home

Blogging these days is a bit harder to keep up with. I can see why many people now prefer video blogs instead of written ones—vlogging has definitely taken over. Still, there’s something about writing that I enjoy, so here I am.

Life has been pretty good lately. I recently redecorated my room after a shelf topper was installed, and it made a huge difference. It also helped improve my sleep because I finally created a separation between my sleeping space and the cats.

When my twin sister moved to a quieter room, I ended up with the master bedroom to myself—and, of course, the cats. As much as I love them, you can’t really stop cats from being cats. Their wee-hour zoomies and the occasional knocking things over definitely disrupted my sleep and caused quite a bit of stress.

Now that the room is divided into my own space and the cats’ area, I can finally decorate it properly and keep things a little more peaceful.

My current obsession is the Bauhaus aesthetic—bold colors, strong lines, and lots of playful elements. I’ve also been getting into dopamine decor, which focuses on surrounding yourself with things that spark happiness and lift your mood. Aside from becoming quite popular lately, it really does bring a positive energy to the room.

They say the key to happiness is finding joy in simple things, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to do.

With summer coming up, I’m hoping to enjoy the season and maybe find some fun activities for both me and the cats.

Letting Go, Holding On, and Welcoming a New Year

Another year has gone by, and January is almost over too. So much can happen in a single year, and simply having made it through 2025 is already something to be deeply grateful for.

The year was filled with challenges: flood corruption in the government that led to many lives lost as well as natural calamities—some truly frightening. Earthquakes, in particular, remain the scariest of all, like a thief that arrives without warning. Living through moments like these makes you realize just how fragile and unpredictable life can be.

On a more personal note, 2025 was an especially tough year for our family. We lost two of our senior fur babies: Atari, our 13-year-old cat, in June, and Yumi, our 14-year-old dog, who unexpectedly followed in July. Losing a pet feels no different from losing a dear family member. They had been with us for over a decade, through thick and thin, quietly sharing our lives and routines.

The grief was heavy, but with time, we learned to accept that they were never truly ours forever—only lent to us for a season. We chose to have them cremated, which was a first for our family. Surprisingly, it made things more manageable and helped ease the grieving process, allowing us to honor them in a meaningful way.

Despite everything, life went on, and we made it through 2025. The holidays were celebrated as usual, and even amid loss and uncertainty, there was still so much to be thankful for.

Now comes a new year and with it, new hopes. I pray that this year brings luck, good health, and prosperity—that it will be a fruitful one. There is always something to be grateful for, in both the little things and the big ones.
