indulgence, tempered.
Hello again. My pen-name is chiisana, pronounced chee-sah-na. It's nice to meet you.

I don't… Continue reading Hey, guys.

About a month, to be exact. In that time, I’ve been moving all of my things back to my hometown. I don’t take walks anymore, but I’d like to reincorporate that. I also don’t food log, although I plan on continuing again. Perhaps I should include more details about caloric content and macros. Mm... that’s… Continue reading Hi. It’s been some time.
I find that a lot of my attempts to be better than my current self are in a well-intentioned place, but often... not in the right approach. That is, I keep fixating on habits as if they're something I have to be or become. Like, it's not a natural shift in gears for me. The… Continue reading An abundance mindset
...And with that, this will be my last day to enter this in publicly. I still need to continue to do this for at least a month on my own, and that's okay. I may even continue posting these for at least 6 more days, to finish out the 30-day streak, just because having your… Continue reading Day 14 of public food logging

One of my favorite topics. I like using technology to improve my life. Here are a few apps that are free that I believe have improved my quality of life from day one of usage. Have I also mentioned that they're free? You're not entitled to use them, but allow me to indulge in an… Continue reading My Favorite Apps So Far (Feb. 2020 edition)
Monday, Feb. 17th, 2020 Breakfast: ?? nothing. Lunch: a small serving of chao ga. Snack: A few bites of raw green bell pepper. That was not fun to eat. Also, the last of those jam-filled cookies. Dinner: egg rolls, lettuce, and vermicelli noodles, all doused in a special fish sauce mixed with sugar, garlic chili… Continue reading Day 12 of public food logging
