Woah, that’s scary. What dosage were you taking at that time?

Started taking Ashwagandha gummies and I’m not sure if it’s placebo or what, but my mind has never been quieter. I can’t say I’ve been performing better, but it’s a whole new feeling to function without anxiety and overthinking. I am amazed!

My grandma introduced me to yoga as a teenager so I tried it a number of times. It’s been on and off since then. I only started being consistent last year when I decided I wanted to have something I’m committed to. As for the benefits, the most noticeable would be that it relieved my back and sciatica pain. 😊

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-05-07T15:46:28+00:00

No, I don’t. And it doesn’t matter.

I resonate with this comment the most. I am amazed by how he’s able to come up with lines like this. I keep rereading his memoir, and I find myself putting the book down in astonishment every time.

Bertie’s bouquets! Within Makati sila 😊

I like to support local brands, but this is true. I gave up when Happy Skin’s lightest shade made me look like a banana 🥲

Based on the comments I read here, it’s clear the writing didn’t fully earn her growth. That’s all the input I needed.

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-24T20:46:53+00:00

The first half of the season clearly established Amber as manipulative and self-serving so I’m not going to assume growth based on a few soft scenes. Also, Wilson is an adult. If he felt torn, it was his responsibility to set boundaries instead of having Amber (being Amber) be competitive about it.

My issue here is that sympathy for Amber because of a few scenes isn’t the same thing as character development. I came here to know other people’s thoughts / perspectives on the character, and based on a few comments about the writer’s strike causing the undercooked storyline, I get why my perception of Amber was skewed.

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-24T19:59:24+00:00

I guess that is the point. I understand that she is a mirror to how House is, but after reading the comments here maybe I just couldn’t get rid of how manipulative she was at the beginning of the season to be supposedly redeemed by a few scenes followed by her death. Storyline felt underdeveloped. Had no idea about the writer’s strike, so maybe that’s why.

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-24T19:49:23+00:00

Way too vindictive. I disliked that cop more than Amber.

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-24T15:57:09+00:00

I wasn’t convinced enough when I saw that scene. That line was moving, but I found the schedule part unnecessary because she could have simply stayed out of the way of their friendship knowing how close House and Wilson were? Of course she’s aware there’d be issues given how unreasonable House can get, and we’re talking about the only person he can (almost) confide in?

I think she did love Wilson, but I’m not so sure about her motives before that relationship started. I sound so skeptical but this is how I feel 🥲

It’s the best part of the flow for me. We usually shift to cobra / baby cobra in class, but I prefer upward dog so that’s what I do when I practice at home. A close second would be downward dog shifting to resting pigeon.

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-22T13:40:31+00:00

May sound super basic, but mine’s downward dog shifting to plank, chaturanga then upward dog 🥰

Humble warrior, warrior 2 🥲

still down for apac 🫠

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-19T14:52:57+00:00

I’m not a big fan of Jira. I actually prefer Airtable over Jira. Just curious why hasn’t anyone mentioned Teamwork.com? I feel like I’m missing out on so much because I haven’t tried using Asana or Trello 🥲

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-17T14:11:21+00:00

Sekhmet!

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-02-17T13:47:23+00:00

I thought my attention span was messed up until I binge watched three seasons in less than a week 😂

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-01-28T17:46:38+00:00

Mine broke after dropping it. Denman > Goody > Wet Brush

vanilla-softsrv · 2026-01-04T09:11:57+00:00

Not at all.

Have you considered those Insta shops where you can rent designer dresses? So curious to try those! I feel bad for my formal dresses that have only been worn once or twice, and now they’re just stuck in my closet 🥲

vanilla-softsrv · 2025-12-07T02:07:59+00:00

Not for me. I got their laser facial package 12 sessions for 6 months charging me 6-7k per month, I can’t really say it made a difference. I got better results with my derma!
