The yearly pilgrimage

Image
 It's that time of the year...our pilgrimage to the Martyr Shrine, which our family tend to do around October every year. For those of you who don't know, the Martyr Shrine is a Catholic church that honours the Canadian martyrs St. Jean de Brebeuf and his company. Here is the link to the site. Just a few pics:) How was your weekend?

New in...the culottes (but not really)

 I've been trying to revamp my wardrobe lately without having to spend so much money, but finally gave in when husband offered to buy me these pants...bwahaha! This revamp is highly influenced by finally seeing The Glory that Rowena has been recommending for a long time (loved the outfits of Song Hye-Kyo), and some life developments lately. UNIQLO culottes They're supposed to be cropped but they fit me like regular pants so I don't have to hem them. YAY! :D Any new addition to your wardrobe?

Losing my mojo

 I've been having a hard time getting motivated to post anything at all these days. I've deleted X on my phone, and am on Bluesky now, but even then, I don't really post much there. (I've stopped posting on Instagram and Facebook years ago, and don't have a TikTok/) Even having a hard time posting consistently on my Art YouTube channel.  I do have a small Catholic YouTube channel, and another small  "fish" channel (and I use that term lightly coz I mostly post random stuff about our shubunkin goldfishes), but even then, these days, I just want to go "off the grid" :( That is all.

 I wrote just a couple of blog posts ago that it's getting warmer here already. Well, well, well....I spoke too soon....huhuhu. It's cold here again, and in fact, it's supposed to snow today. On the first official day of spring, it was raining (which was to be expected, I guess), but then, temperatures went down again, and now....this....sigh.... Sweater weather again. Danier jacket, hand-me-down sweater from my older sis, UNIQLO pants, Doc Martens How is it going where you are? PS: My daughter had a recital again, where she sang two songs🤗 Here's the video.
