I've been gone out for too long and I admit that though I am not off the international online connections, I had been all over the place spending time with real people in the real world, taking inconsistent hiatus, and being a hermit as well. Also, I had been updating files and fixing the needed papers for my employment. Yep, the freelancer Clyde has been signed under a company!

But, seriously? What have I been up to, lately? Let me give you a rundown, a glimpse of what I've been busy with for the past days.

Pages in a book I saw at the Children's section in a Booksale. Hilarious but why is it in the Children's section?

1. I've been spending time reading books. The tangible ones and the virtual. Yep, for the span of two weeks or so, I had finished reading like six to eight books (and I still have like ongoing reads right now!). I've been visiting bookstores a looooot! And though I've been saving up a lot, lately for my future plans, here comes a random bookstore visit while the family went out for dinner. I asked if I could be excused for a washroom break since we're still waiting for the meal to come. When I suddenly had the courage to make a detour to my favorite bookstore. Then, here comes the two latest books in the Flavia de Luce series I've been following, waving at me by the shelf! GAAAAH! I swear you'll hear me squealing when I got the two books in my hand. So there, I ended up returning to the family dinner with the two books warmly tucked in my arms. Mind you, they're the only copy left in that branch!

What a bibliophile! I tweeted about this the last time. Too happy with the two books I've been waiting for!





2. Our Bible Study Group had successfully carried out the next Beauty 101 event we've planned for this year! Yey! The first one tackled about Beauty (it's real meaning) and some make-up session from a professional artist. This time, we discussed about relaxation, peace, and rest. We invited a guest speaker for the event, this time, a nurse who now owns a spa. We're taught of how to relieve ourselves from stress by self-massage and possible things you could do to de-stress. Also our leader talked about how we could fully rest on God's presence. How all the problems that we think is so big, is truly tinier than a grain of sand compared to the big God and Father that we have. I was the designated photographer/the crazy lady who loved the crackers at the snack table/squirrel that night. 

   My plain drinking cup won't always end up plain. I decided to be a Squirrel that night! (Homage to the crush!)

   
   

   For some reason, I unconsciously channeled my illegitimate brother from another country!

   
   

   Here's my illegit older brother (the one in button-down) with le original Squirrel. We look alike, right?

   
   

   Spot the Cup!
