  • A few changes contd…

    Nothing alarming, just a forgetful teenager who will mostly likely have a dead battery tomorrow morning. Anyway, as you can see in that quick video, those 2 backyard lights no longer have the side yard in total blackout either. So it was a win-win. And for the last part…this extra camera that gives me a

  • A few changes…

    You might recall that my backyard has had some questionable activity in the past. From footprints in the snow to whatever the hell this was. And it looked more like a black hole than a backyard. So I got to work and gave it a glow-up. These are powerful little lights that come on a

  • Advice taken…

    Many months ago, we all sort of collectively decided that more outdoor cameras of different angles were needed around my house. Early May, I purchased 2 additional cameras for a total of 4 (currently) May 11th…the knocking was faint but it woke me from my sleep and I decided to manually activate the camera on

    Hi everyone…first I want to apologize for the radio silence. I left the blog and email completely to a take much needed mental break. When I finally checked the blog email, I was floored by how many of you have reached out to check on me…then I was instantly overwhelmed with the feeling that I

    For those who don’t know, Lola isn’t the name I was born with. But it’s the familia name I go by these days. In Filipino culture “Lola” means grandmother.

    Not exactly. While sleep-thinking and dreaming share similarities, they are distinct processes. Sleep-thinking refers to the mind’s active engagement in problem-solving, processing emotions, or organizing information during sleep, whereas dreaming typically involves vivid, often symbolic, narratives or imagery. Key Differences Between Sleep-Thinking and Dreaming: 1. Level of Consciousness: • Sleep-Thinking: Occurs at a more abstract,

  • 2003 – The Tall Man

    My first born child is 3 years old. From around 2-4 years old, she would have screaming fits in the middle of the night. She would be adamant that there was a tall, thin man in black at the foot of her bed. She was afraid of the man although she never expressed he caused
