Hello?
Hello my friends. It's nina. Good morning.
There are sounds outside. Oh wow
Oh, I didn't realize there's people right outside.
I wasn't planning on filming a day in my life
But then I realized this month is going to be actually kind of busy for me
so I have to get myself together before I try to do anything else.
I have to take care of a few things
i'm planning on bullet journaling for
the first time in two months.
I just took a shower. I did my morning routine, all that
I'm just going to go have breakfast and get on with this day.
Let's do stuff together
i'm gonna drink some water
Also ignore this. I need to replace the battery for my smoke detector
this one day It went off and I just took it off
because I didn't have the proper battery for it. I'll get it done soon
Don't worry
just pretend it's not there
time to eat breakfast
Hazelnut flavor
Now it's time to cut a watermelon
this is so heavy
Two
Three
here I have a giant watermelon
something I love to do is cutting fruit
It's very calming and you get delicious fruit in the end.
I'm gonna quickly try to wash it
There are many ways to cut a watermelon
i've done the quarters and then cross hatch method
i've done this peeling method
i've done just watermelon slices
but i'm trying to cube this watermelon. I'm just gonna go for it
I've never actually cut a giant watermelon. I always cut the smaller ones
Okay, this looks promising
i'm first going to cut off the sides
there we go
and then i'm going to cut this in half
We've got two beautiful halves
ah, dang it I was supposed to peel the watermelon first
that's okay, we'll do it a half at a time.
That's okay.
This just means more time to spend with your watermelon
We're going to take it slow.
I'm going to need a lot of cutting boards for this
I'm going to start with this half first.
I just hope it tastes good.
There's something just relaxing about cutting a watermelon
Take your delicate time
Yes.
My watermelon lost its balance
Now I usually didn't use this method
I actually learned this from the internet
i've always just cut it into quarters
and then sliced lines into the watermelon
and then scooped it out sort of
but I kind of like this method as well.
There we go.
So I was re-watching bangbangcon
That was a fun time
when I wash the dishes I like to listen to music.
It just makes it more fun
It can distract you a little bit.
But if it makes it more fun, I think it's okay
during my time indoors the last few months
I've kind of learned to enjoy doing stuff that I usually don't enjoy
and just making the little things more fun
I think it just makes life a little more bearable.
We have a perfectly peeled watermelon
I'm going to cut it now.
I have no idea what it tastes. Like I hope it tastes good.
Here we go
I'm gonna eat one
That is so sweet, ah
I like to have my watermelon refrigerated
So i'm going to have to wait till I leave dinner time to consume this
but it's actually good just room temperature like this too
perfect watermelon
Asmr
Would you like a watermelon?
unless you're allergic, because then I understand
you don't have to eat it
but if you don't have an allergy
Here you go
other fruits that I like to cut up are
Pineapples, melons like cantaloupe, honeydew
i like cutting up oranges.
You deserve to treat yourself
delicious
Oh, yes, that was satisfying
I like to also organize my watermelon
so that as much can fit in here
Be very careful when you do this as well
your fingers can easily slip
What's your favorite fruit?
Ah
I actually have a friend who doesn't like fruit.
She's not allergic
She just doesn't like it
i'm going to give this a quick wash. There's a lot of juice
We have one container full of watermelon
i'm going to refrigerate this and then i'll just get a bunch of little tupperwares
Another peeled half
I have finished cutting the watermelon
I'm also going to show a quick treat that you guys can make
so there's this korean treat called hwachae
It's basically fruit and some kind of drink.
It's like a punch. I tried hwachae when I was in korea
Here is basically a lazy way to do it
but it's actually a common way. I just searched it on the internet
This is milkis. This is a carbonated yogurt flavored drink.
I got this at costco
This is a korean drink, but it's also available in costco
I haven't had milkis in a very long time, but I want to try this out
In case you guys are interested
basically i'm going to fill a bowl with some ice
This is essentially a punch, just a punch with a lot of fruits.
You could also put in apples, or bananas, cherries, etc
I'm, just gonna put in watermelon.
You could easily just put in watermelon
i'm going to put a good amount
This is a nice summer treat, very refreshing
and fresh
now we've got the watermelon
and then we're going to pour in our milkis
This is also available anywhere
just safely social distance
and get it if you want
if not if you have sprite and
do you put milk in it?
I guess
you could put in other drinks as well, just search it up
I haven't had milkis in a long time
And then basically you just pour it in
It's a nice kind of translucent liquid
pour it all in
and there we go.
And here we have subak hwachae. Yes
i'm gonna bring you in closer so you can see what happened.
Here it is
Here's the milkis and then watermelon
and then under we have some ice just to make it cold.
I'm gonna try it out
Oh, that's good
it's very refreshing
I would definitely recommend trying this out
and then you can put in any other fruits
grapes are good
Apples oranges bananas
just a tip for the summer
Mmm, this one was really cold because of the ice
hwachae!
Time has flown by for me. It's already 4:30 p.m
I actually got a lot of stuff done. I didn't get to film some of it
But now i'm going to finally set up my bullet journal.
I didn't set up my bullet journal in july
I was really depending on my notes app
I just didn't have the time to sit down and set up my bullet journal
this month I actually do want to set it up though.
I've got quite a lot of stuff happening in april
It's not april, nina
I've got quite a lot of stuff happening in august
so I want to organize myself and I just thought this would be a great way to
kind of unwind and catch up with my life
get things together, kind of be creative
It's been a while since i've been hands on
i've been spending a lot of time on my phone, on digital things
So sometimes it's just nice to go back and kind of go analog
I'm just going to kind of fast forward through this
and show you how I set up my bullet journal
It's the same as my past videos
i've actually gotten requests to do a bullet journal video
because i've made a couple on my channel
honestly, though, I pretty much do the same thing over and over
i just use different colors, different themes
But otherwise the setup is all similar
so I didn't think I needed to make a whole entire video on that.
The only difference really is that I just change up the markers that I use
And the overall motif or image that I use
I mostly draw flowers because I like drawing flowers
for august i'm going to go with a poppy
because apparently that is one of the flowers for august
Oh, there's a bird
I have finished-
Wow
I have finished setting up my bullet journal
as you saw it's literally just the same bullet journal setup that I always do
i just drew a bunch of poppies. They ended up looking like roses. That's okay
at least it looks pretty
but it's all done
i'm going to quickly just fill this out, reply to some emails
and i thought about cooking dinner
but realistically I think i'm going to go get takeout
We're going to do curbside pickup
so I don't even have to get out of the car
time really just flew by
let's plan our month
Okay, I am done with emails and everything I need to do
i just had a bunch of thoughts and deadlines and things all in here
It's nice to see them all out on paper.
It could also be digital
I just like how journaling really slows time down
now i'm going to go get takeout
The sun is starting to set
Time to head out
by the way if you guys are wondering what happened to joonie
because he's not in my room
joonie is up here thriving
My plant was getting a little unhealthy because
I don't have the best indoor light situation
So we hung up joonie here
and joonie grew so much.
Oh my goodness. Look at you go
The vines are so long.
We might have to propagate you soon
We switched out the dirt and the leaves are so crisp.
The vines are also stronger
just proud of you joonie
So this is basically joonie's new home.
This is a south facing window.
So it gets much more indirect sunlight
Just wanted to show you what's happening
proud of you
My contact lenses are drying up
it is now 10 p.m
I am going to go to sleep
today was a nice day to catch up on my life and
slow things down a little bit
organize myself and treat myself as well
I got to plan some videos and stuff for the future
and I am just excited.
Sometimes you just need a day to
pause and get yourself together
think about the stuff that you have to do
before you take on new things and then overwhelm yourself later on
I definitely need it this day.
I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself
i hope you're staying hydrated and
doing things that you like
and keeping yourself happy when you can
Being forgiving towards yourself
looking up at the sky once in a while
doing your hobbies, learning, growing
I hope you are just living your life
I like making these videos because it just makes me kind of appreciate the smaller things a little bit
We tend to think our lives are not amazing if we're not doing something grand
or something... just something big
we kind of think our lives are not very exciting
because we see people doing this or that
but I really just enjoy doing whatever I can
enjoying what I have
but you can also feel accomplished doing the most trivial small things
getting your dishes done
cutting some fruit
playing a video game you like
Journaling
listening to music, watching a show, or a movie
My time in quarantine has just kind of taught me to
appreciate what I have instead of always looking forward to something else
looking forward to something that doesn't technically exist
I think definitely before all this happened
I was always looking forward to something else.
I wasn't really in the present.
I always focused on something that would happen months later or
some other appointments or date or something that would happen later on in the future.
I would forget to exist in the present
and this time has really taught me that whatever you do
No matter how much planning you do for something,
you never know the future.
I had so much planned for 2020 and you know
none of that happened.
I feel like that's also the case for basically all of us
We all had, I think we all had a lot of plans that we wanted to happen
but obviously it didn't happen
So definitely this time has made me realize that I have to kind of learn to be in the present again
I am able to live in the present as well
but sometimes I forget about just living my life right now
That's why I do find the smallest things very big
That's why I like recording my life a little bit
because I get to see what i've done throughout the day
In fact, I can't even remember what I did today
but i'm sure when I edit this i'll realize I did a lot
That's kind of just what I realized throughout this time
So I genuinely hope that you're hanging in there
being proud of every little accomplishment you've made
if you even got through a day
That's something to be proud of
existing is so cool if we just think about it a little bit.
But anywho
It is 10:30, I need to go to sleep
but I have to do my skincare
I have a lot that I need to do tomorrow, but i'm glad that I got it all organized
That's going to be the end of this video
Thank you again for hanging out with me and I will see you in my next video
We're going to bring it in for a hug as always
stay safe out there and I will see you in my next video!
Goodbye my friends :)
