It’s officially summer! I bet most of us, if not all, are so looking forward to this season. I like it when it’s warm and being able to just wear my tank tops and shorts, but coming from a tropical country where the temps are always in or near the 100’s, I don’t like it when it’s way too hot. But the highest we get here in this part of North Carolina is low 90’s. And, thankfully, that seldom happens. Our usual temps are in the 80’s during the summer and I like it like that. 🙂
Anyhoo, time for another Currently post. If you’re new here, this is where I share what I’m currently loving, enjoying, etc. Read on.
Listening…
To…Oh Mandy by Barry Manilow.
Have you been on TikTok lately? Well, I downloaded TikTok a couple of weeks ago to actually learn the ins and outs of it. My main purpose was to learn how to TikTok because some advertisers are actually considering paid ads from there. To be honest, the more earnings, the better, right?
So I was just scrolling my For You Page when I kept on seeing this handsome young man’s face lip synching 80s music. I did share in the past that 80s music is my absolute favorite music to listen to. I was like, who is this kid? And then I eventually learned his story and about the stir he’s created in social media. It’s fun to watch his TikTok videos, for sure. Gave me nostalgia. 🙂
Watching…
The Morning Show on Apple TV.
If you haven’t heard about this show, it stars Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. They’re both good actresses and I like their acting skills. We actually have finished the first season already and it was a good series. Now we’re just awaiting season two which I think is coming later this year.
Eating…
Dried squid.
This is a favorite in my home country and I’m just so delighted that I found it on a Filipino online store. We usually have this with steamed rice. Yum!
Loving…
My ponytail palm.
The hubs and I were looking for a certain plant when we came across this beauty. We brought this home instead because the hubs said it reminds him of the Philippines.
Enjoying…
The deer.
Well, actually, we already enjoyed this site. We were attentively watching TV when we saw this deer walking in our yard. I grabbed my phone immediately and took this shot. Look at it. It really was staring at me while I was taking this photo. I also took a video and it was just staring at me like that while I was doing it. It must have been wondering what I was doing. LOL.
Looking Forward To…
More DIY projects.
We have done a lot of DIY projects last year, but haven’t done any this year yet. We contracted a guy to fix our floors because we are not experts to DIY that part. But we’ll be doing DIY after he’s done with the floors and I can’t wait to finish everything.
That’s it! How about you? Any Currently you want to share?
Yup, I have Tik tok but I really don’t know what I’m doing. My teen daughter has to help. She loves the app!
I have not seen deer by me lately but they are all over Staten Island. I have to see that show and I love Jennifer Aniston
Dried squid sounds awesome to me. I love fried squid so I bet I would love this.
I have eaten squid, normally battered and fried, but never dried. That certainly is something a bit different.
Sounds like you are having a great time! I would love to do more DIY projects!
What a great ponytail palm! I would love one of those for myself. Sounds like you are enjoying the month of june!
Oh Mandy.. Gosh I love that song too! I’ll search for that lip syncing video right away.
I’ll definitely watch the “The Morning Show”, I love the actresses, Reese in particular.
That ponytail palm is really neat. I love plants! I need to find myself one of those.
I LOVE that you have gotten into Barry Manilow via TikTok, That song is such a classic!
Yes, I love summer. My favorite time of the year. But eating dry squid???? I’m going to have to say no to that one. lol.
LOL
I’m learning TikTok, too, because a lot of local brands are paying for a collab on the platform. Oh, dried squid, it’s been so long since I had it, too. But we’ll have friend fish and fried rice tomorrow for breakfast.
Oh, fried fish and fried rice. YUM!
i would totally try that dried squid. i wonder if I can find it locally here in Texas
Sounds like you are having a great time. I do need to get into Tik Tok. It is certainly worth learning about it for the brand opportunities. I really like your little tree. So relaxing.
It’s always great to see what you’re up to. I have a similar plant in my home.
I bought a ponytail palm a few months ago and I love it! It is so low maintenance and beautiful.
Dried squid!! Yum!! It’s a favorite here. We always eat it and love it.
You got iut all figured out so far! Summer is going very well for us over here.
Deer? oh wow, how lucky you are 😍 I haven’t watched The Morning Show yet, so added it to my watch list! I love summer season too ❤️
Sounds like you have a wonderful month of June and it’s been a while since I ate some dried squid.
