2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Music | The 1 by Taylor Swift

December 6, 2020 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Professional Scrum Management Training

I finally took a training class. This one was to become a Professional Scrum Master. I have two chances to take the test to be certified. Sadly, I don’t think I’m ready even after the class. I have to study a bit more first. Definitely super engaging using Mural and find that it was very helpful.

2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Friends Advent Calendar

I finally own an advent calendar. I’ve been wanting one since I was a kid but not one with chocolates. Luckily, Friends came out with one and I snagged one when it was super cheap. Will report back after 25 days!

2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Heights Bier Garten | Houston, Texas | Erin, John, Christopher

On Thursday, after work, I met up with Erin, John, and Christopher at Heights Bier Garten. I had told them I’d only come out if it was outside and they stuck by it. We froze our butts off for over 4 hours. Erin and John are finally back from Japan and we met up and caught up. She got me candies and a Hello Kitty bag. It’s crazy how it’s been over a year since they left for Japan and 9 months since I’ve seen Christopher.

I finally got to drink Saloon Door PB Chocolate beer! Still one of the best I’ve ever had.

2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Blood Donation with Mallory

Friday, Mallory and I met at the Donor Center and made our usually blood donation. Mallory came half an hour later than me and still finished before I did, sigh.

2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Mallory's Hamburger Helper & Beth's Baby Shower Favours

I went over to her house afterward to put together party favours for Beth’s baby shower and chomped down on some yummy cheesy goodness. I’ve been craving mac and cheese type foods and this hit the spot.

2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Starbucks, Hot Pot, Steak

Steaks and sweet potatoes, Starbucks drinks, and hot pot hit all the right spots. The cold makes me a little lazy to workout. June’s been walking earlier and I’m usually still working so I’ve pushed myself to complete workouts from the telly since it’s pitch black out when I am able to workout.

2020 | Week 38 of Quarantine | Spotify Unwrapped

Another amazing year with Spotify. Taylor Swift is still my number 1 and as it says, her “The 1” is what got me through 2020. So here goes:

And if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed
And if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow
And it’s alright now

…

I have this dream you’re doing cool shit
Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home

…

I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today?

We were something, don’t you think so?
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it would’ve been sweet
If it could’ve been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it would’ve been fun
If you would’ve been the one

Music | Save Myself by Ed Sheeran

December 29, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

It’s crazy how much a year can change a person. 2018 was pretty rough. I wasn’t sure why I had such dark thoughts. I didn’t know what I was going through other than feeling as if I was floating through the days and the days started to blur together. I tried cutting myself off from everyone at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 to stop hurting those around me. For those that wouldn’t let me, I acted like I was okay until I couldn’t anymore. It was selfish and I’m sorry.

I had all of 2019 to reflect on what went wrong; I put myself first and promised to focus on myself. My goals and dreams have changed and although they might still never come true, I’m learning to be okay with it.

Before the year closes, I want to thank those for all the silent phone calls and car rides, conversations, and hangouts, for sticking by me when I said I just needed time and space and giving it to me, yet being there when I reached out, for believing in me when I stopped believing in myself, for standing by me as I found myself again, as I made myself mentally healthier. Thank you.

Mahal kita.

I gave all my oxygen to people that could breathe
I gave away my money and now we don’t even speak
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
Oh, honestly?

…

I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
‘Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain
What line do we stand upon ’cause from here looks the same?
And only scars remain

…

Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
No farewell
So before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself
And before I blame someone else, I’ve got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I’ve got to love myself

Music | Her World or Mine by Michael Ray

December 23, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

For a while we had forever in our hands
That’s why one of us can’t understand

How one of us moved on, one of us got stuck
One of us is drinkin’ just for fun, one of us drinkin’ to get drunk
One of us sleeps good, one of us hates to face the night
Just depends if you’re talkin’ about her world or mine

Yeah that’s the difference between her world or mine

Music | Happier by Marshmello ft. Bastille

Every argument, every word we can’t take back
‘Cause with all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that the story ends

…

I think that you’ll be happier, I want you to be happier

…

I wanna raise your spirits
I want to see you smile

Music | Black Roses Red by Alana Grace

November 8, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Can I ask you a question please
Promise you won’t laugh at me
Honestly I’m standing here
Afraid I’ll be betrayed.
As twisted as it seems, I only fear love when it’s in my dreams
So let in the morning light and let the darkness fade away

Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?

How long must I hold my breath
So much emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea
I reach to the sky as the moon looks on
My one last year has come and gone
Time to let your love rain down on me

Can you turn my black roses red?
‘Cause I’m feelin like I’ll blame in on love
