A New Birdie Update

THEIR FIRST WEEK

    It's their one week and three days living with us! Woohhooo! There are changes that happened since the last update. The first thing that I noticed about them is that they move and play around their house more cheerful than before. They eat and sleep well together. I can see them flying all around their home which sometimes makes their bird seeds scatter. There are some times where the male bird hides inside the wooden box, I don't know why, but he'll go outside and play with his partner eventually. Also, I named them Chit and Chat. Chit for the white and gray bird which is the male, and Chat for the female bird which has the green and yellow feathers.

    Their playpen has, yet, been customized again. The orange colored plastic pipe was added to the side of the first pipe where Chat always sits and rests for a bit. Under it was a long piece of wood that was originally placed to the left side of the cage. Then, the swing that was hanging at the center of their house, was made into a resting place at the left corner of the pen. Also, the reason why the entrance to the box was opened is that Dad feels like Chat would make her nest out of the malunggay twigs and she would hopefully lay her first ever egg! They are so noisier than before. Sometimes, I thought that they are singing or chatting with each other because they chirp so loudly.

    The reason why I named them Chit and Chat was because they chirp high-pitched noises as if they are chit-chatting with each other. They make me so happy everytime they do that. 

    That's all for today. Thank you so much for reading my blog post! Don't forget to come back next time! See you in the next post. Bye!

Tools for modelling clay

A NEW PIECE UNLOCKED

    My family and I went to the mall because my grandmother visited at our house. And also because we attended my recognition at our school. At the mall, we immediately went to a classic restaurant where we always eat when there are any celebrations, such as birthdays or recognition. We all ate there. Mom ordered the set meal where there are drinks, rice, a half chicken, pansit, and fish fillet. After that, we went to National Bookstore. 

    There, I strolled around to find some polymer clay so that I could make my dream charms. While I was strolling, I came across a whole shelf of Tombow Dual Brush pens which I'd love to use on my journal. Well, sadly it is so much expensive for me to buy. Also, my notebook is thin and I write with so much force, so the inks would be seen through at the back. 

    I was also shocked when I looked behind it. I've found a Monte Marte® Modelling tool set that comes in 10 pieces, with dual purposed tips which makes it into 20 tools. The tools are wooden and can be used for cutting, shaping, sculpting, and modelling polymer clays. This was my request for my grandmother and she bought it for me as a gift. I'll have to find next are the dotting tools, clays, and glaze. 

    Here's how it looks: 

    Thank you for reading my post. Don't forget to come back for my latest post! See on the next post! Bye!

A Journal Addition

A NEW MONTH FOR JOURNAL

INTRODUCTION

    Days just come too fast so another month is approaching, which means another page to your journal. Specifically, the month of April. I started journaling just this year and set up my first ever journal/planner. I've studied and tried to understand the system which was made by Ryder Carroll. I adapted his system and added a touch of my designs to personalize. If you prefer to make it simple and minimal, you could do to.

    I can't explain the system very well but you could go to the bullet journal website for a more clear explanation: https://bulletjournal.com/pages/learn

    I personally make mine colorful, a bit cute, not too overwhelming, and creative. My journal notebook is a simple 148 x 200 mm lined notebook. It has a yarn stitching that I sewed which I use as a bookmark for the current page that I write in. Each month has its own theme, as well as their monthly logs, and daily logs. I don't use weekly logs because I think it would be repetitive if I write tasks and events on both the weekly and daily log.

    For the next month, I decided that I'll give it a star theme. I just got inspired by my random doodle on the notebook, and then why not make it the theme on the upcoming month. Here's how it turned out:

Disclaimer: I am not a professional in calligraphy and designing. So please don't hate it. Thanks!

TITLE PAGE

    This is the April's title page. Every title page that I make, I'll put a quote at the side that has the month's theme. [ On the right ] My title page has the month's name in it as a heading, a calendar, and stars as the design. It also has a border a black box outline around it, and another one inside it using my color pencil. In this case, I chose yellow. I decorated the stars around the month's name and four patches of stars on the corners and at the sides. [ On the left ] There's the quote that I found on the internet. I wrote them in cursive form with black inked shadow and another color pencil shadow. I also decorated it with stars all around it with the orange, blue, sky blue, green, and red ballpens that I have. 

    Here's a closer look at the two pages:

MONTHLY LOG

    Sorry if it's a bit blurry but this is my monthly log setup. I, again, put the month's name on the upper left corner of the page. I wrote it in red; in a simple cursive style with sky blue shadows and a blue star beside it. I made a very big box that is split into six rows and seven columns. In each box, there are the numbers that indicate what day of the month it is. 

    There are five excess boxes in which I wrote the word "Craft". The seventh row is a long rectangular box which I made into my "Currently Watching Youtube Series". I drew the youtube logo on the left and watch series on the right. The one on the right is supposed to be watching series, but because I wrote it too much on the right, I didn't have enough space to write it correctly. Hehe, my bad.

    On the right, there are two sidebars that are entitled Notes in which I keep stuff that I have to remember and the other one is the Upcoming Events section where I write the events that are going to happen that month. I also included a saying, I think, or quote that says " I love you to the stars and back" which I found on the internet and I heard on a movie.

    A closer look at the monthly log pages separated:

    I hope the picture is clear now. I took this picture on my camera that is poor in taking pictures.

DAILY LOG

    

    This is blurry again, sorry. This is how I designed my daily log to be. The days are written vertically. Its color is orange and it comes with a green star under it which contains the day. I used my yellow color pencil to make a border to separate each of the days. I've placed the week I'm in, on the top decorated with brace "{" like shape rotated ninety degrees that has stars at either side, top, and bottom. There are also two sections that are named as notes for the week and what are the events that are going to happen next week. I forgot to put the month markers on either the top corners of the pages. It's like the shape of a rectangle that has a triangle cut at the side. I got this idea from Pypah's Art, here's her February plan with me video -> https://youtu.be/mBFTubN2ydE?t=701. You can see it on the side of her habit tracker.

                              

    Here 's a closer look on the separate pages

OUTRO

    That's pretty much all of it. Thank you for reading! Don't forget to come to see more of my what I do. I hope you enjoyed seeing all of it. See you in the next post! Bye!

Kawaii Overload!

Play Pen and Additions

The Bird's Home Renovation

    This is their sixth day and there are some minor changes that happened again. 

    To start with, Dad opened the hole to the wooden box, so that they could hide there while he's doing the renovation and never be stressed. It was surprising that they didn't just dived right into the box to hide. They hesitated a bit. Well, I think it's because they have been outside the box for so long, and they adapted to live outside without hiding. Dad placed an orange water pipe cut into small piece (I think) on the far right corner of the cage.This tube is where they sit and they would sometimes cram themselves up, together inside it even though they do not fit that much.

    Dad also dismantled the long wood where the birds always hang out which made me so mad! He instead split it into half which he then made into another hanging step coming from the side, and the other one as a stair to stand on when they drink water because the container is a bit deep for them. We also rearranged the feeding and water container in another position to change it up a little bit. I saw them sleeping with their heads bowed which answered my question on how the love birds sleep.

    There's also a cuttlebone that had been added, which dad said that the birds could eat and it's a good source of calcium for birds. I've researched that it's a bird accessory which, other than supporting the bird's calcium intake, practices beak and jaw exercises.

   Here's the reference link for the cuttlebone informations:

My Lovely Bird

    It is the birds 5th day at my house! Yay!

    I did not make, the past two days, a birdie update beacause I think I make other contents or alternate my blog posts.

    Anyway, on the bird's 3rd day, the birds always play outside, the birds always play outside, they could probably recognize my family, and they ate malunggay leaves. Dad said that the birds make the stems as their nest.

    Yesterday was the same as the third day but they seem to be playing tag, and make more loud noises. The female bird's beak also changed to red. They're still cute as always.

    This day, they are eating, playing with each other, and staying by themselves side by side. It's nice to see them together. And also, I noticed that they always grab at the side of the pen, or at the top of the cage's ceiling. I don't know if they get dizzy in some way but I know that they're ok. Dad said it's natural to them beacause they're playful.

   With that all said, thank you all for reading on my blog! Be sure to come back for more blog updates! Bye!

A New Mineclash!

    It is a new minclash challenge! Stacy and Graser has a minecraft series called mineclash. The mineclash series is over but they also post some extras for some events, for example, new updates on minecraft, world events like Christmas specials, and more.

My Ukulele Adventure!

    Ukulele is a four-stringed instrument which is played by plucking or strumming the strings. I have my own ukulele. My family bought it for me as a Christmas gift. It was always my request to them, and they granted it.

    It has been my third month playing the ukulele. I practiced every weekends so that I could improve as time goes by. Learning and remembering the chords are the most important and very hard to do, but once you practice you'll get the hang of it. Every chord have finger positions which you also need to familiarize yourself.

    Now, I am making a song accompanied by my ukulele just for my own. My singing voice is a bit of a disaster but my ukulele skills are pretty much an average, if I may say so. Here is a picture of my ukulele:

 
    It is a beachman ukulele in the size of soprano.(Btw, ukulele has different sizes, there are concert, soprano, baritone, sopranino sizes and others). It is made with ABS plastic, from body to headstock. It's strings are aquila strings with a linen cloth bag for carrying. The ukulele's original tuning pegs are color black, but sadly I broke them. So I replaced them with white metal tuning pegs.

   I bought it on Lazada here

Webtoon!

    Someone asked me to visit this link because she said that this is a website where she reads webtoon, specifically my friend Zam. Webtoon is an online platform where you can read some comic-like stories. These stories are made by various people around the world. Every webtoon story has different characters, authors, artstyles and genre. The genres that I encountered are mostly drama, action, slice of life, romance, and fantasy also. Some stories have translations to other languages, but some does not. Some authors also adds some custom sound track for every part of the story, which gives more feels to the story.

    I've been reading ther for about a year now and I love each stories that suits my taste. If you also want to read, here is the link to Webtoon --> https://www.webtoons.com/en/

   The stories that my friend suggested to me was:

1. unORDINARY a fantasy story made by Uru-chan. It is up every Thursday.
2. Tower of God also a fantasy story made by SIU. It has some translations and is up every Monday.
3. I Love Yoo which is a romace story made by Quimchee. It is up every Friday.

   And these are the stories that I came across together with the three stories:

1. The Four of Them a drama story by Mai Hirschfeld. Up every Monday.
2. Cape of Spirits a fantasy story made by Elie Byun and Kristina Nguyen. Up every Wednesday.

    That's all for this blog post. Don't forget to come back for more updates! Bye!

Another Possible Hobby

    Hello! This is Alinsky. I just want to share something that might be added to this blog. As I was surfing on youtube, I found a youtuber which makes charms out of polymer clay. It made my crafty senses activate and I think I would like to give it a try. I saw on the video that it needs to have an oven because you'll have to bake the cake, which my mom had. Well, it just passed through my mind.
Anyways, thank you for reading my entry! Don't forget to check back here for more posts, updates and more! That's all for now. Bye!

Feathery Friend's Second Day

 

Their Second Day!

    It's the second day of the love birds! Yay! There are some changes that happened. Yesterday, Papa blocked the entrance to the birds' wooden box. Dad did that because they always hide there and would never go out meet and greet with us. So, yeah that's done. Another one is I could see the couple and they are not hiding anymore! Earlier, as I am watching them from the door, they stood at the corner of the enclosure. As always, they make loud noises. But they're cute and they look well together. They play and roam around their house. I watch them eat their bird seeds and drink water.

    My birdies are adapting to their new home, a bit nicely. But they really want to hide in their box. Especially when they see me. (Am I really that scary? Probably. A bit) The birds always fly around the cage and would hang onto the steel enclosure when they are startled. Dad said that they'll calm down when you call them, mimicking their voice. He said that cat calling them in a soft tone would calm them down, but it's hard for me to do. Instead, I came up with another way, whistling. Whistling like the bird's voice also. It kinda works for them, I think. Hopefully, next week they'll be familiar with me, and never be stressed and scared from me.

  

    As I've said, they're so cute! Like now that they're asleep. The male bird leans on the female bird that made it even more cute! I noticed also that the bird also opens and closes their beak, as if they're talking en though they are sleeping.

    These are all of the bird updates for now. As I'm typing, they are now awake which means there's more incoming noises ad cuteness. Thank you so much for reading! Don't forget to come back and read my latest posts here on my blog.

    I still don't have a name for them yet so any suggestions would be appreciated. And also a correction, their colors are white and greyish blue (I can't tell because of the light) which is the male bird, and the yellow and green bird which is the female bird. They are also an African love birds. Until the next post! Bye!

Our New Bird!

My Feathery Friends

    
    We have two love birds!

    I have a white and gray feathered bird with it's green and red (I think) partner. My father bought them from his friend's shop. When I first heared that my father would buy the love birds, I was so excited because this is the first time to have a pet. The birds arrived here, at our house, yesterday but I didn't have the time to welcome them because I was sleeping at that time. It was nighttime when dad brought them. 

    The birds are shy and would never go out of the wooden box beside the cage. They always hide there. They seemed to be startled when there is someone who is looking at them. Our door also makes loud noises which also makes them hide. I hope they adapt to their new home happily.

    Their home is a rectangular stainless steel with a black tray underneath. The tray serves as a poop catcher so it would never fall down the floor. Dad also made a wooden box and placed it on the side of the cage so that the birds would have a place to place their egg. There are two short and one elongated shaped would attached on each sides inside. The cage also has a little tree at the center with no leaves, some hanging ring binder and also a swing so they could hang out and play together.

    The couple are very cute! and they make high pitched noises. I hope I could see them play around their home because it makes me happy. I'll take a picture of them if I can. Anyway, thanks for reading guys! Until the next post! Bye!

Sqaishey Quack

   Hello internet! This blog is a little bit different than any of my posts here. So, today's post is about my youtube series that I am currently watching. I'll start it first with Sqaishey. Sqaishey is a cheerful duckie that is always ready to have fun, she plays minecraft and made her latest minecraft series that I am watching today! I think as I've posted this, it would be her 5th episode on her "A World for Me" series. 

  This is her series this time around because of her health. She decided to stay away for a bit on making a series to give herself a break. I've been following her since I found her on the internet and loved her until now. I still support her until now and hopefully she is now fully recovered! 

  Check her out here --> https://www.youtube.com/user/sqaishey/

    That's all for today. Thank you for reading! See you on the next post!
