the heart as it is | courage • grief • beauty

These are the days of…

…using this image from Kpop demon hunters as my avator on multiple platforms (I have yet to talk more about Kpop demon hunters on this blog because it is having its own post):

…celebrating my father’s birthday at Pacific catch:

…seeing Kpop demon hunters in theatres (sing along version):

…meeting up with some friends and their new baby ! Also having good fish taco (and good fish tacos are difficult to find):

…making my own cabbage dumpling swith impossible meat filling. It was really good, but the prep time is quite long:

…finally starting classes again and returning to campus as only a student and not as a student and an employee:

…using AI to make a temporary office room be more conducive to conducting therapy sessions. The first one is the actual photo and the 2nd one is AI-generated. The third one is what the room actually currently looks like.

…finding this STUNNING Rujinu computer background wallpaper (from Kpop demon hunters). The original artist is ConYang.

…going to Placerville for my birthday since it’s a city we pass by a lot but never really stopped by at. We went hiking too, but it was really hot while hiking, so I did not take much photos then. Here are all of my photos from that weekend though, mainly from the downtown area:

… stopping by Ione for sorbet in between our Placerville to Modesto trip to make the drive shorter:

..,going to my favorite restaurant for my birthday dinner and having lots left over so I did not even need to meal prep for that week:

…visiting the coast due to whale sightings after my internship on Wednessday:

…dogsitting JJ:

…trying out a new game with some students at one of my internships:

…being so very grateful that Activia is actually healing my gut (so far)…

…seeing that in addition to the Kpop demon hunter OST album on Spotify, Netflix also added a deluxe version !:

…taking JJ hiking but in a backpack. Plus the view when we got to this vista point and where we relaxed afterwards:

…meeting with a friend for the last time before she moves to a different state and then contemplating that night how many of my good/close friends have all moved pretty far away:

…having froyo with Jacob and being given free stickers (apparently this artist’s name is pronounced “jake” and not “juke”):
