11-11-11: that special moment i had with my Umpe
I got to talk again to the most important person in my life. I missed her a lot and how i wish i can hug her and tell her how much i love her. But i don't want to worry her abt me so yeah we just talked about how life here is and how she's doing back home. Whenever i talk to her i tend to worry about her alot and how she is coping back there without me by her side... It breaks my heart to know that i had been selfish to her when i made the decision to leave her alone back home. I feel so guilty & I really regret it especially whenever i hear her cry or even her sad & weak voice or like when news that she got sick... It feels like it is my responsibility to take good care of her yet i can't do anything. I feel so helpless and worthless whenever that happens. It makes me want to run into her arms as fast as i can and ask for her forgiveness... And do anything to compensate for all the times i was not able to spend with her. Oh how i missed hearing her voice and being by her side all the time. I missed how she takes good care of me... how she prepares my meal... how she would give me allowance and extra money to buy whatever i want... how she attends to me whenever i am sick... how she would ask me if i already ate lunch or dinner... how she would worry about me whenever i go to vacations... how she lets me do everything that i wanted to do even if that means she will need to do extra work... how she treats me so well even if i sometimes shout at her or give her attitude... how she'll tell everyone how proud she is of me and how good i am... how she would shower me with lots of care, understanding, praises and love. I miss everything about her! And now that her birthday is coming up, i can only wish her good health and long life. Well that has always been my wish for her. I remember i would always pray to God that hopefully one day we will be spending our days together again. Just like the good old times. It's just sad that it has been four years since the last time we've seen each other. How i wish i can surprise her in her 77th bday this coming november 17th. *sigh* I know she knows i love her a lot. And hopefully, as she grows older, she won't forget our memories together, both good and not so good memories we had. I hope the distance between us will not be the reason for her to forget me, her favorite granddaughter. I love my Umpe so much and my love and gratitude for her will never fade nor be forgotten and taken for granted just by anyone. This special relationship and love we have for each other can't compare to anything. Only the two of us can understand its true and deep meaning... I am really thankful to God for giving her to me and making me a part of her life. I feel so blessed to be loved by Umpe. I don't know how am i going to be able to give back for the kindness and love she gave me. I can only think of spending my whole life with her, loving her, providing her whatever she needs, giving her everything she wants and working harder so she can be more proud of me :) Umpe, thank you for everything and i love you so much.
i was listening to your song...
and suddenly i felt something i can't explain. i feel like crying the moment i heard your voice. then i felt happy... the feeling was very comforting. i wish you know how much your effect is to me...
thank you for your music...
Blessed Hekáte, accept our offerings we give freely in devotion to You.
I want to raise a toast
To someone very dear to me
He won't question my actions
And head straight to the battlefield
If my body aches with pain he will bring my medicine and console me
He's the ideal person that I will never be able to become
He is not like the sun
He is more like the ocean and the rain that will dance on you no matter
The depth he carries may seem shallow sometimes
But it is yet at the crucial point in life that he shows his true colours
So I'd pike to raise a toast to my dearest
You have stood in front of me in times of need
You have stood next to me in times joy
And you have stood behind me in times of desperation
May the world be kind to you
As you've been to me
- your little sister

The Final Gift
Someday I shall perish
It could painful or it could be bliss
When I part the skies will cry
And the flowers will bloom
The Earth will accept me and I shall be her again
She who gives and gives and us who use her gifts
People will weep and so shall I
Not because I left but because I'll be her eternally
What more beautiful gift could she give you if not to be her forever.
Feeling her love to the world and her gentle hand for the old
Someday will come and I'll accept it
But till then I'll bask in her beauty and fruit
Till I one day return back home to her
I wanna thank you all for the likes and readings of my Billy Dunne imagine I know it isn’t a lot compared to some but it’s the most I have gotten and it means more than you know so thank you

The Power of Gratitude: Embracing a Life Filled with Appreciation
Shaina Tranquilino
August 16, 2023
In our fast-paced and often stressful lives, it is easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of negativity and forget about the simple joys that surround us. However, cultivating a mindset of gratitude can bring about significant positive changes in our overall well-being. It allows us to appreciate life's blessings, big or small, while enhancing our relationships, resilience, and contentment. In this blog post, we'll explore the transformative power of gratitude and how practicing it can lead to a more fulfilling and joyful life.
1. A Shift in Perspective:
Gratitude provides us with an opportunity to shift our perspective from focusing on what's lacking to acknowledging abundance. By consciously recognizing and appreciating the good things in our lives - be it supportive friends, a loving family, good health, or even a beautiful sunrise - we begin to develop a keen sense of mindfulness towards positive experiences.
2. Enhanced Relationships:
Expressing gratitude not only benefits our personal growth but also strengthens our relationships with others. When we genuinely thank someone for their kindness or acknowledge their efforts, it fosters deeper connections and promotes feelings of goodwill. Gratitude becomes a powerful tool for nurturing empathy, understanding, and compassion within interpersonal interactions.
3. Improved Mental Well-being:
Studies have shown that cultivating an attitude of gratitude positively impacts mental health by reducing stress levels and promoting emotional resilience. Regularly practicing gratitude helps rewire our brains to focus on positivity rather than dwelling on negativity or anxieties. This shift can result in increased optimism, decreased depression symptoms, heightened self-esteem, and an overall improved sense of well-being.
4. Increased Resilience:
Life inevitably presents challenges along the way; however, gratitude equips us with the ability to navigate these obstacles more effectively. By acknowledging past triumphs and expressing appreciation for lessons learned during difficult times, we foster resilience and develop a mindset that enables us to bounce back from adversity with greater strength and determination.
5. A Gateway to Contentment:
Gratitude is the gateway to contentment, allowing us to find joy in the present moment rather than constantly pursuing external sources of happiness. When we acknowledge all that we have and express gratitude for it, we begin to recognize that true fulfillment does not lie in material possessions but rather in appreciating life's simple pleasures.
Practicing gratitude is a transformative journey that can enrich our lives in countless ways. From enhancing relationships and improving mental well-being to fostering resilience and embracing contentment, gratitude allows us to experience life more fully. By taking a few moments each day to reflect on the blessings we often take for granted, we invite positivity into our lives and sow seeds of appreciation that will blossom over time. So let's embark on this journey together – one filled with gratitude – and watch as our outlook on life becomes brighter, more joyful, and abundantly rewarding.

I caught the sun at a really cool moment! That "Love" is leftover from when my sister and I where goofing with wax-candle-fingers. I was going to clean the mess in the room before taking the pic but then I thought how representative of our relationship it was. We are messy, we goof around, and gosh, I love her. Thank you sis for always being there for me, cooking ramon with me, and putting up with my ridiculousness. Love yah. I'm so blessed to have you in my life, to share our walk with Christ together.
For anyone worried about missing anything in BG3 or replaying the game and wanting to find something they missed there’s a ton of checklists available online and I’m just gonna post the ones I’ve been using for all the acts in case anybody else wants to reference them!
Thank you @kingtwhiddleston and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!
Plush Size
Marc Spector x fem! reader (Implied moon boys x fem! reader)
Summary: Missing the MK System, you decide to make a plush toy of Moon Knight for yourself, so that you have something to cuddle with when they are on missions for Khonshu. While this plush ends up being used for that particular reason, the moon boys are shocked to see that you are no longer as clingy to them as you once were. This leads them to become touch starved, resulting in them hiding the plush.
You miss them all very much. It has only been a day since they left but you miss Marc, Steven, and Jake very much.
Though they have been on missions longer than this most recent one they are currently on. Nevertheless, it’s true when they say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
As you look through Pinterest to look at sewing machine projects that you want to do. You see some pins on how to make dolls. This sparks the idea to create a doll in the form of your boyfriends’ Moon Knight persona that you could use to cuddle when they are gone. With this newfound inspiration, you get to work.
_________________________________________
3 Days Later…
Marc is currently fronting as he enters the key to your shared apartment. Though this mission was shorter, the desire to get home to you was what kept him going.
When he locks the front door, Marc notices the silence within the house. No tv nor music playing in the background.
Imagining the worst case scenario, Marc grabs his gun from his travel bag and begins walking around the house in preparation to fight to the death for you. He hears both Steven and Jake from the headspace, trying to reassure him that you are safe and more likely to fall asleep. Though he appreciates the reassurance from them both, Marc’s mind can’t help but wander to think the worst.
As he finally approaches the door to your shared bedroom, Marc finds you asleep on your bed. Although, instead of snuggling into his side of the bed like you normally would when he was gone, Marc is shocked to see you snuggling up with a plushie that looks nearly identical to what he looks like when he wears Khonshu’s ceremonial armor as Moon Knight. Marc smiles to himself as he returns to his regular clothes, beginning to strip to nothing but his boxers and crawls into the bed to get well earned rest.
________________________________________
In the coming weeks, Marc notices how often you cuddle with the plush version of himself and is a bit restless to say the least. Though Marc is happy you have something to remind you of himself when he is away, the feeling isn’t there when he begins to notice that you sometimes even hug the mini him when you both are lounging around together in your room or living room.
Despite Marc always being a bit closed off at the start of your relationship, you helped him open up. Once feeling as if he had to wear the world on his shoulders, that feeling slowly faded away when he was around you.
No longer receiving those cuddles as often as he was once used to, Marc begins to devise a plan. One that will ensure he gets your attention.
________________________________________
As you finish showering and changing into your pajamas, you exit the restroom and enter the bedroom.
When you walk to the bed, you notice that your Moon Knight plushie is no longer laying on the side where you normally sleep. In shock, you look under the bed to make sure it isn’t there. Noting it isn’t there, you move your pillows to see if they aren’t under the bed.
“Marc”! Have you seen mini you?”, you ask.
Marc comes in and says he hasn’t but agrees to help you find him (unbeknownst to you that he hid it).
________________________________________
Thirty minutes of you two looking and not having any luck. Defeated, you lay on your bed a bit upset.
Marc gets into bed next to you and wraps his arms around you. He is a little shocked by the fact that you are upset about this.
Curious to understand why that is, he asks: “Why are you upset about losing the mini me”?
You answer.“Because it’s something to remind me of you when we aren’t together. Also, I figured it would be a good substitute for when you don’t want to cuddle me as I know I can be a bit too much sometimes.”
Everything begins to make sense to him. Marc goes to your closet to get something. When he comes back out, you see that he’s holding your missing plushie.
“I’m sorry I hid this from you”, he says ashamed. “I missed your cuddles and thought that mini me was taking away your attention from me. Despite what you may think, I love our cuddle sessions. It’s because of you, I feel safe enough to be vulnerable. Can you forgive me, baby?”
The moment Marc finishes, he is shocked to see you get up from the bed and grab the plushy from him. You put the plush on your bed and pull him in for a hug.
“You know you can ask me for cuddles whenever”, you say.
Marc looks at you with puppy eyes, “Can we cuddle now?”.
You take his hand and lead him both to your bed. Both of you get settled in with Marc laying his head on your chest as you run your fingers through his curls. Staying this way until sleeps takes over.
Character redesigns, specifically Maki, (because she doesn't deserve a boring school uniform), Mikan (an sa victim being constantly sexualised? I don't think.) and possibly Tenko, bc her design doesn't make sense as correlation to neo aikido to me.
Hii ! So , i've done some Mikan redesign on her birthday , and Tenko. If you search up DanganRonpa on my Tumblr page , or redesign , I'm sure you'll find it !!!! I've made some Maki ideas , so I'll be sure to make one soon. thanks for the ask ^3^
