From San Diego to Naples: The Owl’s Blessing 🌙

From San Diego to Naples: The Owl’s Blessing 🌙

One night, under a glowing full moon, I heard an owl sing in my yard — for the very first time.
It was 1:40 AM on October 7th, the night after my mother’s birthday. I was lying down peacefully, listening to old Nintendo songs that made my heart feel warm and nostalgic: Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3… Breath of the Wild… even F-Zero from the SNES days.

That’s when I heard it.
A gentle rhythm through the night air:
hoo… hoo-hoo… hoo-hoo…

I paused the music and pulled off my headphones, heart still.
Again, the owl sang — soft, slow, and distant. I opened the blinds and looked into the glowing sky. Clouds parted gently, and the full moon lit up the world like a lantern. Crickets and cicadas played their usual background chorus, but this time, something was different. Something magical.

It was the first owl I’ve ever heard in Naples. But not the first I’ve ever heard in my life.

The first time I heard an owl was in San Diego, a few years ago.
It was late at night, and I had just visited the hospital with my mom and brother. My father had suffered a heart attack and stroke, his fourth surgery. I was scared. Broken. We stepped out of the hospital in the dark, and suddenly we heard it:
The same hooo. Loud and clear.

And there, perched at the very top of the hospital building… was the owl.
A guardian in feathers.

In our Mexican culture, owls can be feared — some say they mean death is near. I was afraid. But I later learned they can also symbolize protection during illness, a messenger of wisdom and spiritual care. I chose to believe that version. And my father recovered.
By God’s grace, he is here with us now, alive and smiling in our new home in Texas.

So last night… when I heard the owl again, it didn’t feel like a warning.
It felt like a sign of peace. A full-circle moment.
The first time I heard the owl was in sorrow.
This time, it was in bliss — with my family safe, my mother just celebrated, and the sky softly aglow above our quiet home.

Each call sounded soft and kind, like the night itself was breathing. For the first time since moving here, I felt the land speak back.

They say when an owl greets you on a quiet evening, it isn’t by accident. It’s a sign of peace, wisdom, protection, transition, and connection— five gifts wrapped in feathers. Maybe that’s why there were five hoos.

I imagined the owl perched high in the oak, watching with bright golden eyes, guarding this little patch of moonlight I now call home. And in that moment, I felt something settle inside me—like the world whispered, “You belong here, Tiny.”

🦉💫

Two owls. Two chapters.

One story of healing.

🌸 My Cozy Kawaii Room Tour 🌸

Hi moonbeams ✨🌙 It’s Jackie (aka Chiisai Tsukiko), and today I’m opening the door to my little sanctuary — my new room! This is the space where I create, play, rest, and spend time with my kitties. Every corner holds a mix of cozy vibes, kawaii inspiration, and nostalgia. Come along with me on this tour!

🚪 Walking In

As soon as you step inside, the first thing you’ll notice is how bright and open the space feels. Soft white walls, natural sunlight pouring through the window, and little pops of pastel purple and pink set the mood. It’s a place that feels calm and dreamy but also full of life.

🎨 My Desk & Gaming Setup

My Laptop Setup (PC Setup coming soon!)

My Tamagotchi Block Calendar!

To the left is the heart of my creative world — my desk! It’s both my art studio and gaming station, and I love how functional yet magical it feels.

• My lavender-and-white chair keeps me comfy, while my LED lights give the whole area a soft glow.

• On the shelves, I’ve tucked away essentials like my mini printer, pastel scissors, and storage bins.

• On my desk, you’ll see my cat-ear headphones, a glowing moon lamp 🌙, and my laptop ready with its cheerful wallpaper.

This is where I design stickers, edit art, or hop into cozy gaming sessions. It’s a little command center for both work and play.

🐾 The Cat Kingdom

Right beside me, my cats have their very own tower — a tall enclosure with multiple levels, hammocks, cozy beds, food, and water stations. Each of my kitties has a favorite spot: some curl up high above to watch over me, while others stay low to peek through the bars or nap by the litter box.

It’s their safe haven, and it makes me so happy to have them close by while I work. Honestly, they’re the real bosses of the room! 🐱💖

✂️ Craft & DIY Station

My Crafting Space!

By the window, I’ve created a dedicated crafting area. This is where I keep my Cricut, lavender heat press, and other tools for making stickers, shirts, and other creations.

I lined the windowsill with little crystals, trinkets, and figures — tiny bursts of inspiration whenever I glance outside. The sunlight here makes it the perfect corner for creative projects, and I can watch the trees and sky while I work.

🛏️ Loft Bed & Cozy Nook

My smol loveseat (it can turn to a bed!) and loft bed next to my collection shelf

Looking upward, you’ll see my loft bed dressed in lavender floral bedding. Plushies like Olaf and a chubby green dino sit at the edge, keeping me company at night. It feels like sleeping in a little moonlit garden up there.

Underneath the bed is my cozy nook — a mini sofa covered in a nostalgic Hamtaro blanket 🐹💕. This is my curl-up corner for reading manga, sketching, or just relaxing when I need a break.

---

📚 Collection Shelf

Across from the bed, I have a cubby shelf full of treasures:

• My Tamagotchi family and Sanrio friends.

• Cute trinkets and pastel collectibles.

• Manga lined up neatly at the bottom, ready to read.

This shelf is like a mini museum of all the things that inspire me and remind me of happy memories.

---

📺 Chill & Entertainment Area

My Plushie Hammock!

My TV, Plushies, Shelf Storage (ignore my cluter!) & Holy space ♥

On the opposite wall is my dresser with a big TV for cozy nights of anime, movies, or streaming in the background while I work. Above it, a hammock cradles a whole bundle of plushies — like a pastel cloud floating on the wall.

Next to it, I keep shelves for my supplies, plus a faux fireplace heater that gives extra warmth and coziness during colder nights.

✨ Wrapping Up

And that’s my little tour! 🌙 This room is more than just furniture and decor — it’s my happy bubble. It’s where I dream, create, play, and share my world with my cats. Every corner is filled with love, nostalgia, and pastel magic.

💌 Thank you for visiting my room today! Tell me in the comments: which part would you want to hang out in first — the desk, the cozy nook, or with the kitties?

My New Creating Space — Art, Gaming, & Loftbed

 🌸 My New Creative Space — Art & Gaming Loft

After months of moving, unpacking, and organizing, I finally get to share a little peek into my new creative room! It’s still a work in progress, but it already feels like my own cozy bubble of kawaii, gaming, and art. ✨

☁️🌸☁️✨☁️🌙☁️✨☁️🌸☁️

🌙 My Loft Bed Dream Come True

I finally got the white metal frame loft bed I’ve always wanted! It’s a full-size loft bed with shelves built into the stairs and even a little closet section. That’s where I hang my favorite pastel shirts and sweaters — the ones that feel like me. They’re full of kitty prints, Tamagotchi designs, and chibi animals in the softest pastel colors. They make me smile every time I see them, almost like they’re part of my décor.

Under the stair shelves, I keep my Switch and Wii/Wii U games, along with some of my favorite movies and controllers. It feels neat and organized, but still playful! Beneath the loft, I’ve set up a comfy love seat where I can curl up to watch TV or dive into my games.

🎨 My Art Desk Setup

Along the wall, I have my long white desk (not a corner — I like the stretch of it horizontal across the wall). On it are shelves that hold my laminating machine and sticker sheets, ready for action. My new Epson printer sits proudly on the desk, next to my laptop. One day soon, it’ll be joined by my custom PC — my boyfriend is the one actually building it for me (thank you, love 💜).

And something I’m super excited about — my heat press for tumblers, mugs, shirts, and even baseball caps! I can’t wait to start designing and pressing my own creations. I already have themes planned out, and my biggest hope is that people will feel happy, bubbly, and of course, kawaii when they see and use them.

🐾 A Shelf of Collections & Stories

One of my favorite spots in the room is my collection shelf. It’s full of my Tamagotchi treasures — merch, accessories, and all kinds of versions (and yes, my collection is still growing~). Alongside them are Sanrio goodies, Japanese soda cans (I have the entire Sailor Moon soda set 🌙✨), and some kawaii art books that inspire me.

There’s also a balance — cozy and cute, but with a touch of dark. My Tokyo Ghoul manga collection sits there too, because sometimes you need contrast to make the light shine brighter.

🌸 My Holy Space

Something I don’t talk about much, but it’s part of me, is my small altar. I call it my holy space. It brings peace and love into my room and into my life. Prayer keeps me grounded, and having that little corner reminds me to nurture my spirit as much as my creativity.

🐱 Life with My Cats

Yes… my cats live in my room too (too many to count sometimes, haha). To keep things peaceful at night, I have a tall kennel where they all sleep together. Otherwise, it’d feel like goblins ruling my room! 😂 They go straight to sleep when I bring them in, and it keeps the room tidy. Cleaning is a constant routine — for their health and mine — but it’s worth it. My room still feels fresh, cozy, and welcoming despite the kitty chaos.

🌙 What’s Next

I may not have taken pictures yet, but I’ll be doing a little photo tour soon to share all of this visually with you. For now, I just wanted to write down what I’ve been building so far. Thank you all for being so patient with me while I set things up.

☁️🌸☁️✨☁️🌙☁️✨☁️🌸☁️

Please look forward to my new art designs, creations, and my Etsy shop opening soon! ✨

Stay tuned, and thank you for always supporting me 💜

P.S.

Oh, and that’s not all… ✨ I’m also working on 

something super special for my kitties — their 

very own cat shed! 🐾💜 It’s still in progress, but 

soon I’ll be sharing all the cozy details of how I’m 

building a safe, dreamy space just for them. Stay 

tuned for that post!
