The last time I laughed out loud was just today, when I took my dog, T-Bone, out to do his usual “sightseeing time” – it’s basically when I let him out the front yard, and he peeks through the half open gate, just looking out at the people walking and cars passing by. It’s been a routine and it’s now come to a point where he’d go to me when it’s time to sightsee to also remind me like, “Hey get off your laptop, it’s sightseeing time” haha anyway, today, while he was sightseeing, a black labrador passed by with his owner and they both were just staring at each other for sooo long. The other black labrador was friendly and pretty big haha his bark sounded soo heavy it was like a small gorilla honestly, and that was the first instance that made me laugh because I wasn’t expecting a bark like that at all, it really caught me off guard! hahahaha
What was also funny was that T-Bone does this thing where he’d bark back, but from a far, and then whenever he’d move closer to the other dog, he’d walk backwards and today, he literally waked backwards for quite sometime until he reached the main door of the house. I was laughing a lot because it went on for a while, I was just watching him walk backwards slowly like how a human would, but he was doing it on four legs hahaha it also made me realize It was the first time I’ve seen a dog walk backwards for that long – I totally wish I got that whole thing on video! But the photo I attached here is T-Bone in his sightseeing element :))

Andie constantly thinks of music as an escape to a whole other place. It also brings out this different side of her that only music can. Like, you ever have a bad day, but when you listen to this particular song or shuffle this certain playlist, everything seems better? Yeah, that's pretty much how it makes her feel too. And for her, music has to be playing everywhere– as in everywhere. It's like she has a soundtrack for anything. She can't stop writing or talking about it. It's something she can talk about with you for hours and hours. Music helps her get lost but in the best way possible.
