Sunday Reset: Editing Photos, Cleaning, and Gardening

Time flies isn’t it?

This Sunday was a little bit different from my usual lazy Sunday. I was so exhausted and dehydrated due to the carnival. While I wasn’t wearing a costume, I was taking pictures of the participants and walking alongside my neighbors. I wrote about our pre-carnival situation over here Behind the Scenes of Village Carnival Festivities. The next day, when we got to the venue, people came with crazy costumes and awesome decorations. They did awesome choreography dances too and did the street dance all along the main road. It was truly festivities on its own.

This morning, my mom was being asked by neighbors about their pictures. I haven’t really edited all of them because they were quite a bit and I had to sort them out from random people that I took pictures of during the carnival. So, as soon as I woke up, that was on top of my priority list, to get the picture out so people could share them with their other family members who couldn’t participate in the events. Here are some of my works from the carnival that I managed to get edited and done.

They are pretty, aren’t they?

My room was a little messy too because during Friday-Saturday, I was too busy with everything and even woke up late to bother with putting things out in their place. So, today was a good opportunity to clean up a little bit more.

Gardening

Another update from my balcony is that I am growing lemongrass and I threw in watermelon seeds a couple days ago. It looks like some of the watermelon seeds have grown.

I got a lemongrass today and I read that they thrive in an environment with full sun. My place has exactly that so I am looking for them to grow. The lemongrass seller told me to just leave it in the sewer and they’ll grow. She sounded happy when I told her that I am buying it for planting rather than something to consume.

The idea to grow lemongrass was from this cafe I visited a while back. The place has this lemongrass as a decorative plant and it looks really nice. It makes the space feel dreamy and so idyllic.

I hope they’ll thrive one of these days especially when the sun is blazing hot.

Have I been staying consistent ?

Sunday reset is exactly for things like this. It’s the time when I write about if I’ve been consistent about what I am doing. While I am still exercising and moving a lot, I feel like I haven’t been strict with the food consumption especially these last 2 days. It’s also that time of the month where I typically have little energy to do things. I still pushed through with all the cravings. I am still consistent with tracking my food even though lately, some days I eat more than 1200 calories. So, I am not hoping I’d lose anything this week and be stagnant but next week, I’ll do a lot better with working out again.

See you again on another reset day with me!
