OH, TO BE AN EQUESTRIAN


2026.05.07

Hello, blog! Today, I went to the Don Quijote, a Japanese superstore that has everything known to man, to get protein powder. I decided I’m gonna begin drinking protein shakes for breakfast. Guess what they had? They had baked sweet potato-flavored protein powder. I was so close to buying it, but protein powder is so expensive so I didn't want to regret it and waste the money. I instead got cookies and creme. I might go back and get that flavor when I grow tired of cookies and creme though.

I still have to figure something out for lunch, but I did buy a bunch of yogurt. Maybe I can eat a yogurt bowl with granola + fruits and corn tea. But I already am having something sweet during breakfast, and I don’t want diabetes… God, why am I faced with such difficult dilemmas 🫩


MY EQUESTRIAN LIFE
Today, I saw a video of a horse which reminded me that I really enjoy horse riding. I watched more videos of horses and then seriously thought ‘I’m gonna get a horse when I get back to the Midwest.’ Upon further thought, I realized that I’m actually not that dedicated to care for a horse for 30 years or however long a horse lives to be. I also don’t have any money. I also don’t know anything about horses. So, I utilized the second best option to conjure this dream: my imagination. I thought of a life where I’m a Chicago barista in the morning, then an equestrian at night. After servicing the Chicago population, I’d take the train down to the countryside of Illinois then with Kale, my blonde mained horse, run through trails at midnight. We’d stop at a dreamy swamp, and from there we’d fall asleep gazing at stars I’d go back to Chicago early morning and repeat the process eternally. Maya and Kale forever!!! However, I cannot do this because I need to focus on making MONEY. I don’t have time for idiotic fantasies!!! I want to play Tomodachi Life on Nintendo Switch 2, but it’s like $500. WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!


WHAT ELSE…
I don’t have much to say today. Well, I was going to share the progression of my nose’s blackhead, but maybe tomorrow. Inputting images here is a drag. Maybe I can talk about doing intermittent fasting. It’s been helping me become more aware of what I’m eating. For this past month I’ve been in Japan, I’ve been eating whatever and whenever I want because it’s all been so exciting. Now that I’ve had my fill of fun, I’d like to cut down and do some maintenance.


Now, I’m going to continue reading Sky Daddy, take a shower, then go to sleep. I’m really enjoying Sky Daddy. I really love in books when they have a whacky interesting concept. Like, why is this woman in love with planes??? That’s crazy-sauce, extra boinkers, hold the cliché.

I almost forgot! It’s officially been one month since the start of MAYASMIND™!!! WOWOWOWWOWOWOWOWOW crazy stuff. *sigh of nostalgia* How much I have changed… Okay, じゃね!
