a date

every day, since confinement started, at 8 o'clock people meet outside their windows or balconies to give a round of applause and cheering in appreciation of the effort the medical personnel is putting out. touching because this also has propitiated seeing neighbors who you didn't know they existed. it is also a good exercise in building  community .the whole country at 8 o'clock.

since vanity cannot leave this building i am finishing this to wear next time i join the applause (ಠ_ಠ)

was debating whether to leave a gathered skirt or make a pleated one.But gathered looks elephantine 

therefore box pleating is the way to go.
 while everyone is threatening with jail w/out trial if you mention weight gain after all of this is over i am so weird that i am actually losing weight.go figure.

sewing this top from a gorgeous linen recouped from a dress that doesn't fit anymore.the bliss of time.

already getting my japanese class homework and don't feel like doing it.

i am studying really hard watching all those doramas on netflix and rakuten.

seriously, with the dictionary app by my side pausing the vid and looking up the word that i do not understand.

apple trees in bloom from one of my windows.
distance makes the heart grow fonder.
