Hello Hiveans! I hope that everything is fine and chill on your end this nice, quiet, peaceful weekend. I slept early last night and woke up early this morning to do my π stuff so all good in my corner of the universe.
I was talking with a friend the other day about stories and film structure. We are both passionate about film and stories, and our chats almost always, eventually end up in this rabbit hole. Our discussion got me thingking about my latest to-watch choices I've made. You see, I decided that I preferred watching foreign films and TV shows versus those locally made, even if I have friends in the industry, because of some bad Filipino movies that I've seen a long time ago. I have since made a turnaround after having watched some good Filipino movies and TV series; I am now a convert because of the elevated quality. It's an interesting story in itself but I didn't want to go there now so that blog is going to be for another day. Today's blog post is just a short, light-hearted life update. π
Having gotten up from bed earlier than what I'm used to gave me some extra time to reflect, freewrite and bring out some creative tension. I love quiet moments. It calms my mind and helps me to get settled; to dig deeper into my soul and bring out the inner peace that we all have. We just need to find it from time-to-time. And even if there is chaos everywhere, one can still be cool and serene on the inside once we are able to connect to the innate peace that we have always had - since we've arrived into this earthly existence. ππ
I ate the Dark Walnut Cookie, which I brought home from the coffee shop that I recently discovered nearby and it was amazing. I will have to rate it as a 9/10. It was that good. I will have to go back and try it again just to check if it wasn't a fluke. I am not a big cookie fan, but this one really got me excited to get it one more time.
Intense doggo wants to communicate something important...
This is Batik. She is a stray dog that my wife let's in her office regularly. She recently gave birth to some cute puppies who are now a few weeks old. Two pups have yet to be adopted from the litter of puppies.
So my wife attended an out-of-town seminar and got this photo taken when she returned to the office. Batik looked like she was trying to communicate something serious and important that I found very endearing. Her serious demeanor and piercing gaze might look menacing to those who don't know her but she is a sweet doggo. What was she trying to say here? Any idea? π
That's it for today's blog post. Wishing everyone a good, solid weekend with family and friends or just to take the time out for yourself. Have fun, go to the gym, go to a church service. Whatever it is, you do you. You are entitled to a good life because you are a good person. πΆ
Love and peace.

Gusto tlga nya ng food kasi madami padidiin.. .gaya ng pusa namin na bago panganak, parang Lage gutom kc nagpapa didi hehe ...
The walnut looks yummy...
I want to have a movie marathon with my siblings later... You reminded me to haha.. I prefer foreign movies too,.. (medyo lousy kc Pinoy movies, π) except sa iba na the best talaga...
Totoo. Palaging gutom nga. Marami naman ang pinapakain na food sa kanya. π
I recently started watching movies starring the young ones (kathniel, donbelle, etc.). Naririnig ko na naman sila before pero ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng chance manood ng movies / series nila. LOL
Panalo ang Walnut cookies na 'to. πππ
Even me preferred korean TV series kesa sa sariling atin. I don't know, they don't appeal me that much. Pero I can watch some Tagalog Comedy naman. Mas naeenjoy ko yan. Though its reall matagal na since I last watch some. ..anyways, penge pong cookies na yarn. Mukha ngang masarap π€€π€€. And Batikkkkk, oh my, she's a mother now, I hope someone will adopt her na ang her kid para naman she have her own home na. She looks really mabait and tamed
Koreanovelas are one of the best. I also like watching them. Batik has an owner in the same barangay naman daw. She just likes hanging out more at the office. Work din daw siya. LOL. Like I said, I'm not much of a cookie person, but I might just learn how to make it for this. π
