Joey's Notes

#RoadtoSustainability Day 348 So, it's been a year since I first met these kids and I learned that it is possible to make sweet potato taste like fried potato. Haha...how little I knew about the world 😅 Thanks @theatuazon_ @shiujameru and @donnah.tuazon 😁 #sustainableliving #sustainablerelationships #veganfood #sweetpotatofries #fries #sweetpotato #kamote https://www.instagram.com/p/COXYMybhevg/?igshid=1v9macfuoev1j

#RoadtoSustainability Day 344 Connecting with people isn't exactly the difficult part, it's staying connected that's hard. I miss fieldworks...that's no secret. But what I miss more are the people I go out in the field with. I hope my pips are okay. See you soon po! #sustainableliving #sustainablerelationships #MSGstrong💪 #squadgoals #staysafe #stayhappy #fieldworkislife #fieldworkdiaries https://www.instagram.com/p/COMzb8-BJ4X/?igshid=5tf5p96kdacn

#RoadtoSustainability Day 341 Lately I've been... 1. losing sleep 2. losing focus 3. getting overwhelmed quickly 4. switching moods in a matter of seconds 5. losing interest in the things that I have set myself to accomplish 6. forgetting a lot of things 7. getting really bad migraines thanks to the heat But, I've been actively getting my groove back, one ray of sunshine at a time 😉 #selfsustainable #selflovejourney #countingstars #mentallysustainable #sustainableliving #rayofsunshine #goodmorning #itssohotoutside #summertime #focus https://www.instagram.com/p/COEkUQVB1zd/?igshid=n574g7ec55xb

#RoadtoSustainability Day 339 I am on this road, for almost a year. I will be honest, I haven't been consistent, but my consciousness has improved, I think, and as a bonus, I have been able to face my fears and put my trust in the possibilities of things. I have learned to let things flow and just go. This has helped me accept and process mentally depressing situations better (even though it seems highly unlikely). #acceptance #selflove #sustainableliving #sustainableself #possibilities #justdoit https://www.instagram.com/p/CN_9Np6BJbd/?igshid=o68y9fopjjqt

#RoadtoSustainability Day 327 So, what do I do when I'm triggered, anxious, or heading to a low mental state? I focus my energy on creating something. It doesn't have to be something big or important. It doesn't have to be something sensible. I just create what I can with the energy and focus I can muster at the moment. Does it help me? Yep, but not all the time because sometimes I just don't want to move or sometimes my frustration gets the better of me so I just lay on the floor until my dog starts to lick my face. #mentalwellbeing #icreate #selfawareness #mantaohealth #mentalhealth #itsalldownhillfromhere #alliswell #art #sustainableliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CNhCWveBENT/?igshid=va0faz0g54rb

#RoadtoSustainability Day 326 I was recently reminded of how lucky I am to be surrounded by freshair. I sometimes forget that aspect of my job. I am lucky. Then I remember, I'm wearing a facemask which will eventually not help in the maintenance of the fresh air. So, ano na guize? Salamat kuya Luis sa kuha. #freshair🍃 #sustainableliving #facemask #mangrove #mangroveforest #conservation #protectourmangroves https://www.instagram.com/p/CNeE3gwhV1i/?igshid=1c92fo01psxl3

#RoadtoSustainability Day 319 From root to shoot. From farn to table. I don't know if you would agree, but won't it be cheaper, more sustainable, and generally better if you know where your food is coming from, and howbit was grown, and eventually produced? Question: Do you know what plant this is? 😉 #supportlocalbusinesses #supportlocalfarmers #veganlifestyle #sustainablecommunities #sustainableliving #umanaton #farmlife #vegetables #roottoshoot #farmtotable https://www.instagram.com/p/CNL55Hqh7fM/?igshid=w44khqg3d05a

#RoadtoSustainability Day 317 I just wanted to make that "pork and beans" vibes with tofu instead of pork and, well, black beans instead of kidney beans (because that's what I have). I didn't really think this through but it still ended up good 😉 #veganfood #sustainableliving #tofu #beans #foodvibes #food #riceislife https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHr9E1h1Bw/?igshid=1q3oyenarriuj

#RoadtoSustainability Day 314 My first attempt to vegan pizza. Pwede na ba? I've been re-immersing myself in cooking my own food because, well, aside from feeling a bit lazy, I'm goong to be honest, I have been giving into what I shouldn't. Haay...chicken wings are my Waterloo. Hahaha...but, aside from this pizza, I have discovered a way to make tofu taste differently. I hope I get it just right soon. :) #veganfood #veganpizza #food #sustainableliving #fighting #tofu #mushroomislife https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAOnQshsXe/?igshid=e17whyjjo8yj

#RoadtoSustainability Day 311 It's been a while since I posted anything related to food. Like what I mentioned before, I really haven't been cooking much lately, and that's kinda sad. I'm okay, don't worry. I just needed to break my pattern and then get back to it. I hope I get to cook more random stuff again. #food #veganfood #breakthecycle #pattern #sustainableliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CM4QzMohPHB/?igshid=m7myjsnk5ynf

#RoadtoSustainability Day 305 #fieldworkislife I was thinking of pitting something long here but what came up was: "Joey, kamusta thesis mo?" #thesis #fieldworkparin #fieldworkpamore #fieldworktherapy #mountain #bundok #nature #acadsiswaving #thesisiswaving https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnzHtyhYaX/?igshid=cgharx1d9y5m

#RoadtoSustainability Day 303 Okay...so I haven't been cooking properly lately. In fact, I haven't been cooking at all. You know, that discocering new things type of cooking. Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to receive freshly harvested organic produce, so I took the opportunity and this is what came out. I honestly haven't tasted it so...ehem. On the side...I haven't been myself lately. I have been consuming a lot of chocolates. I think it's because my period's close. 🤦‍♀️🤬 #sustainablelifestyle #organicproduce #vegetables #veganfood #lunch #rediscoveringcooking #cooking #womanhood #period https://www.instagram.com/p/CMiqxonBBeZ/?igshid=18h9a1qstniy9

Ito ay kuha ni Kuya Joseph. Ako: mga kuya, ano pong pangalan ng punong toh? Mga kuya: *tingin sa taas para makita ang dahon sabay sabi ng kanya-kanyang pangalan* Ganiyan madalas ang eksena namin kapag gubat o bundok ang lugar ng monitoring. Hindi ako magaling sa mga puno dahil lumaki ako na ang kilala ko lang talaga ay pine tree at alnus 🤦‍♀️. Kaya naman tuwing nasa #fieldwork kami sa bundok o gubat, isa-isa kong kinakabisa at inaaral ang mga punong pasok sa plot area o di kaya'y madadaanan namin. Ang dami-daming mga puno tapos ang dami-daming gamit sa mga ito. Sa halos dalawang taon ko nang paghahawak ng monitoring na ito'y iilan pa lang talaga ang nakabisa ko. Kaya naman bilib na bilib ako sa mga tropa kong #MSG (Monitoring Support Group) na kinabibilangan ng mga katutubo't tulad kong dayo. Ang galing nila! Bukod dun, sila ang sandalan ko sa maraming bagay, lalo na kapag gutom na ako 🤣. Kaya naman, para sa mga tropa ko, at para sa mga magiging tropa ko, saludo po ako sa inyo. Wag niyo po sana akong iiwan sa kalagitnaan ng gubat, lalo na kapag nagpapakuha ako ng kung ano-anong litrato, alam niyo naman, makapal ang likod ko, gusto palaging nakikita sa camera 😁🤣 #MSGstrong💪 #fieldworkparin #fieldworkpamore #forest #gubat #nature #monitoring #tayoypilipino #mgatropako #squadgoals https://www.instagram.com/p/CMhI-giBU3D/?igshid=qk2mhfmyulxp
