Keeping in Touch

Sooo 2 days ago I just remembered that I have a blog and was kind of wondering, how is it going? Of course, there was nothing going on because apparently I hadn't logged in since 2019. Spent an hour trying to logged in because I kind of forgot which e-mail I use and which password. I was still surprised and a bit amazed that my last entry was in 2019. I thought it was gonna be further back.

I don't really have anything to write about so I'll probably just write some updates so in 10 years I'll look back on this post and be like, "oh this is how I was when I was 27" and hope I won't cringe.

Yes, cats are very important. My family adopted 2 cats. The older cat is Keket, not sure if I have written about her here. She moved in to our house in 2017 when she was 4 years old. Lately, I feel like she's grown more open to me. She regularly meows in front of my room everyday at around 5pm to just... hang out. She would just sit on my bed next to me when I'm chilling or she would sit on my lap if I'm on my laptop. After like 20 minutes or so, she just walks out of the door. She's only been doing this for the past one year and I'd like to believe that that's how she shows love.

Our second cat is Haru. We have her since she was a baby. She moved in just last year when she was very smol. She has a truckload of energy even after we neutered her, but gets upset stomach often. Just 2 days ago she had diarrhea. She doesn't really like to be touched but she enjoys being with people. Sometimes she just follows me when I walk around the house.

If you haven't heard yet, the whole world is in a pandemic for a bit over a year now. I got my first dose of vaccine yesterday.

Ooh, romance. Smexy, hawt, and steamy romance... not. My boyfriend, who lives in Malaysia since 2018, still can't come home for also a bit over a year now because of the pandemic. It's been 1,5 years since we last see each other in the flesh, as if it wasn't hard enough keeping a long distance relationship.

But weirdly enough, I feel like the quality of our communication sort of boosted up and has highly improved. It was quite hard at first because we needed to find ways to adapt to this situation and I was a bit on the edge because so many things in my life were changing in the early pandemic days. After series of fighting and debates through the phone, we figured things out and be more open and try to talk about things more because... what else can we do now other than talking? Other than our movie dates that we've been having since before the pandemic.

One thing I'm most grateful for lately is because of the pandemic, I got to reconnect with my old friends from school. It's not that we were out of touch or anything, but like we talk and meet with each other more. Even when we don't, I feel like we've became more sincere and there for each other than before (remember when I felt like we were just "pretending" to be friends because we were in the same circle of friends but not actually, personally close?).

There's actually so many details about these things but I won't go there because you (me in the future) will probably be bored. Also I'm still so sleepy, either because of the vaccine or because I spent 6 hours chatting on the phone with my boyfriend. I'm actually glad that I recovered this blog because I was kind of out of touch with my feelings these days and wished I could sort them out like I used to. Turns out, writing on the blog is the way to do it.

I may have to write more.
