Weekly Notes – [Week 1, December 1-6, 2025]

Best moment: having dinner at a restaurant with my boyfriend and getting random free food (garlic parmesan bread sticks), it was soo good! but then again, free food always tastes better hahaha
Something I learned: how to style my short hair using a heated round brush! I’ve had this tool forever but I just finally learned how to use it so my hair is all fluffy and volumized
A challenge I faced: my eyeglasses lost a screw and my lens popped off. good thing I have contact lenses left because I had to order a repair kit online and I have to wait for it to come.

Fibre Arts: I finished a beanie and one fingerless mitt! they’re both crochet and I took my time in making them. the yarn I used came from a frogged project that I didn’t want to continue anymore. I think it’s a good decision.
Reading: the only reading I did was read Kill Hill Carnage by Tim Meyer for five minutes when I remembered it. i’m about 70% of my way through an admittedly short book. just really need to prioritize it over other hobbies so I can finally finish the story.
Cooking/Baking: haven’t done much of this since the semester started this past September. I’m hoping i’ll get more time during the holiday break but we’ll see.
Gaming: I started Winter Burrow a couple of weeks back and still haven’t picked it back up after doing nothing all day but play it one Sunday. It felt like such a waste of time. i’ll revisit that thought surrounding video games in the future because I enjoy them, I want a healthier relationship with it
Journaling: experimented with bullet journaling this week because it felt too restricting using a mead planner I got from walmart. so far i’m enjoying it a lot. less pressure.
Fitness: aside from all the walking while working, I haven’t really been intentionally working out except for wednesday when I did 40 minutes of strength training. I had the stomach flu last weekend so I was off working out for a week to recover.

Movies / TV Shows: some episodes of hemlock grove. i’ve never seen this show and so far it’s pretty interesting. i’m literally only in episode 4 though.
Asian Dramas: i’ve been bouncing from one drama to the next recently. can’t seem to find any that catches my attention.
Books: kill hill carnage by tim meyers. 70% of the way. will read it tonight before bed, yay!
Games: nothing this week.

Three things I’m grateful for:

i’m super grateful for how beautiful snow days are even though it feels cold outside. the brightness of the surroundings when sunlight hits the snow is super magical.
i’m grateful for friends who join me to study and who are super supportive and encouraging as well.
i’m super grateful for my continuous practice of meditation and how it has impacted my anxiety positively.

One intention for next week: might not be the healthiest but study, study, study. exam is on friday and I don’t want to fail. just focus on my tasks one day at a time.
One hobby I want to prioritize: crochet, because I want to be able to finish the other fingerless mitt so I can use them before the winter is over. i’ll prioritize reading another time after all the reading I need for exams.

P.S. food in the photo is my favorite food combos ever. any sort of cheesy bread and tomato soup. heaven!
