Quarantine - Blog Posts
welp, I am now over a month into quarantine. I have not seen any person face-to-face that is not my family for over five weeks. Chances are that quarantine will be extended anyways. my motivation to do literally anything has plummeted, until i end up lying on the floor knowing that i should be doing something productive, but not having enough self control to make myself actually do the thing. sigh.
Respect that she still loves her fans enough to protect them and give them what they want at the same time. 👏🏻👏🏻 @taylorswift
can someone plEAse give my Transformers: Prime fanfic recommendations I’ll take anything at this point quarantine has me desperate.
I've been writing an original story in my spare time since quarantine is coming back. While writing, I had a sudden urge to draw an oc in the story. So I drew her and experimented with the pose. Hope you enjoy! ^-^
Decided to replay the trials from Drv3 and I drew Himiko. Honestly, I think it's my favorite piece of art I've done so far. When I get the chance I'll color it and post the colored version as well.
I've been in a danganronpa mood recently and saw @minnie-edits-dr Sprite edit for heartbreaker Mikan. So I decided to try and draw a sketch of it. [Any reason to draw best SDR2 girl] I like how it came out for the most part. Love the original edit btw!
I got bored and drew Junko Enoshima. As a challenge, I was only allowed to use a basic .2 pencil and crayola's erasable colored pencils.
Here's 2 pieces of art I did recently and forgot to post. The first one is fan art of Uraraka from bnha. The second one is art of my oc named Sage. Enjoy! =>
I did a background on my school notebook w/posca pens because I was bored in here in quarantine. Looks odd, but I like it.
So I have these OCs based on colors and I thought I'd show off a colored sketch of my blue OC Sapphire! Maybe I'll draw the rest, idk.
So apparently in my part of Texas there will be a full lockdown where you can only go out if certified for work or getting groceries. It's official, Plague Inc has become reality. Thanks Corona! 😑
Gotta figure out some way to combat the quarantine depression. This is a dairy and gluten free Victoria sandwich cake! Link to recipe is below:
quarantine is making bertha rochester a much more relatable character, ngl
I don't know how tf this happened but I suddenly have the overwhelming urge to go to school.
Beauty
Those I love say they're proud of me, now
Tail-end of 8 months in infinity
I don't look for their words of affection.
I'm not scared to be ugly
In the way women are taught to be
All sunshine and beauty.
I do not doubt now,
That I may in fact be beautiful -
I am Beautiful
Not because I'm pretty
I don't turn heads when I walk the room
I'm hardly precious in dear finery.
What's more,
My hair doesn't always flirt with
The wind, my feet don't know how to
make love to the earth and grass, the show
Doesn't please lusty onlookers.
I pause when I see beauty,
A pleasant surprise waiting within me -
I don't wait to achieve anymore
I revel in my company.
I've learnt to hold friends tightly,
Look them in the eyes so
They may smile from inside me.
I forgive my family,
So they may not hurt any
Longer than I can help, for
all that I love about their journey.
I don't rest in the past anymore
I don't pine for a whimsy future
I'm elated to just be
And in being, I achieve me.

Okay people.
I'm at the twichy stage now.
The stage where I'm ready to say f*ck it, and make a run for the outside world.
Now I know what 15 days in hell feel like.
Note to future self- do more good deeds, hell is not a nice place.
The work I got done from 9:00 to 21:00. And I will continue. #school #math #quarantine #quarantinelife #productivity #mathematics #homeworks https://www.instagram.com/p/B--MwAbBtRe/?igshid=omhm4b830ay0
greetings from quarantine
A silver lining: use quarantine as an opportunity for healing. Yes, I am putting aside all the negative things about the whirlwind of what is happening right now, because:
1. We all know that
2. This is my personal happy place
3. I’m not giving that microscopic horror a spotlight on my blog
4. But please do cooperate! Stay indoors, take your vitamins, wash your hands/sanitize, and always keep safe!
Since my work is at full halt until the lockdown is lifted, I have been spending most of my time on my hobbies and interests. Perhaps this is what you call a “distraction masterlist”, a distraction from all the crazy that’s been going on, and these are the things and the people that keep me sane and what gives me genuine happiness during these very difficult times.
1. Orenji Project Orenji Project is a brand that I’m currently building. For now, I’ve been doing plenty of passion projects and fanart to increase my audience, but I do plan on turning it into something bigger in the future. (hint: selling my own merch) Even though I work as a Multimedia Designer on my day job, I feel like designing is still my #1 hobby. It’s just what I love to do! I just finished doing a collection of collages and I plan on making a zine next. I’m really excited because I love making visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing layouts. I get to conceptualize, write, and produce it all from start to finish, HELLA FUN!
2. AB6IX (A.K.A. The Best Boys™)
Get yourselves kpop boys who’ll teach you how to make soap and hand sanitizers during a pandemic, haha! Kidding aside, I’m honestly very thankful to them for giving us so much content these days so we won’t be deadass bored while we’re stuck at home. April fools’ pranks, mafia game night, Idol Radio week, and just Youngmin failing to sew a belt for an hour whilst never forgetting to remind their fans to always wear a mask, wash their hands, and stay at home, that’s some high quality content if I do say so myself. ㅋㅋㅋ I love these precious kids to bits and I’m very grateful. Just being their fan gives me so much delight and joyousness. Although they’re helping to flatten the curve, I’m very worried for them since they’re risking their health. 예삐들 잘지내시고 건강하세요! 많이 많이 사랑해요 ♡
3. Korean Language Lessons
While trying not to fall deep into unproductivity and bad habits, I thought why not continue this again? I’ve always been interested in studying languages so I chose to self study Korean/Hangul back in 2017, but I was busy with my last 2 years in college then I had a full-time job so I didn’t have a lot of time for it until now. I still have long ways to go but I’m at Lesson 10 out of 17 a.k.a. learning how to use future, past, and present tenses in sentences. As I type right now, 3 languages are getting scrambled up in my brain; nonetheless, I still love learning! I love studying, memorizing, and taking down notes. I guess that’s a hobby now too since I already graduated from college? Haha. Also, a friend invited me to take Japanese classes with her, so I guess that’s the next agenda after this.
4. Bon Appétit
Bon Appétit, the only Youtube channel ever. Period. I love this channel and I’ve been binge watching their videos since the start of the quarantine. From a recommended “It’s Alive” episode, I fell down on a very deep rabbit hole of culinary videos I never knew I needed in my life. Why didn’t you recommend this to me sooner Youtube algorithm? Google AI overlord? My secret FBI agent? I trusted you guys! I absolutely adore everyone in BA, though my all time favorite chef is Chris. His show, Reverse Engineering, is so fun and satisfying to watch! Plus his small cameos on Gourmet Makes and It’s Alive are way too comical, never fails to make me laugh. The way he always wants his work perfected to a T, I relate to that way too much, and I get little pockets of happiness in my heart when he gets an ingredient right, especially if it’s cheese, haha! Runner-ups:
5. My family and friends, of course.
Actually, this would #1 but I don’t wanna be cheesy like that. Vibin’ with my fams all day and video chatting with my friends at night has been keeping me sane. Always love and appreciate them to bits.
6. KJH PH
Being a somewhat lead designer for a fanbase has been keeping me pretty busy at times. Not to be that pabibo designer, but I even made digital branding guidelines for the fanbase, haha! (note: I’m really that pabibo designer, sorry I couldn’t help it)
7. Last but definitely not the least, Hospital Playlist
GREAT DRAMA. AMAZING CHARACTERS. LOVE IT. ALOHA SOTY. LEE IKJOON LOML. WATCH IT!
To anyone who’s reading this: I hope you’re staying at home and doing well. Please continue to take care of yourself as well as your mental health! When this is all over, please come back to this post and tell me you’re alive and good, alright?

What quarantine feels like:
lockdown stage #209: hearing a knock at the door and instead of opening it, hesitantly standing up from my chair and saying “who’s there? are you man or beast?” like a 19th century explorer
The quarantine is helping my baking skills
this is depressingly relevant
What's the point of living in modern society
When my internet connection isn't working and people have stopped believing in science
You know crona has been going on to long when in doing my school work for entertainment. 😐
