Waking Up Playlist #6
Good Afternoon Jellies,I hope you’re staying healthy, eating well, and sleeping well.This weeks theme: 520 (Wo Ai Ni)May 20th is unofficial Valentines day or sometimes called digital Valentines day in China. 520 which is said ‘wu er ling’, is said to sound like ‘wo ai ni’ which means I love you. When I looked it up, I saw a lot of posts talking about how this picked up back when pagers were really heavily in use, couples would send 520 to each other as a little I love you message through out the day. While some may argue whether or not these sound close to each other or not, it’s hard to deny how wide spread it’s become. I saw a lot of posts on Instagram celebrating from many countries. It was fun to have an excuse to dig through my love songs and even pull up a few throwbacks, the last song being an OST from my early drama watching years. Youtube and Spotify 1.

Greeting Jellies, I hope you’re staying healthy, eating well, and sleeping well. This weeks theme: Chicken Nugget’s Vibe listWe’ve been focusing on staying upbeat and positive, but also good music helps when working through physical therapy or trying to get some movement in. These are all songs from the list I’ve been making for Chicken Nugget, and he chose these songs himself. He was having a good time helping me make this weeks list. This is a combination of motivational, vibes, and a few video game themed songs. Did you know that video games can be good for your health? Several of his doctors have recommended that he play video games to help with hand mobility, coordination, and brain function. Thankfully everyone in this home likes video games so we already had a good set up. YouTube and Spotify 1. Fighting by BSS Feat. Lee Young Ji

Waking Up Playlist #4
Dear Jellies,
I hope you’re staying healthy, eating well, and sleeping well. This weeks theme is in honor of Brain Tumor awareness month (gray in May). I am doing this one in particular because that is what Chicken Nugget has(I have his permission to talk about it). Sometimes someone can look completely healthy and fine, and within a month's time everything changes. Kiddo went from sending me the full length Secret Tunnel from Avatar the Last Airbender to being in the hospital in a matter of days. Life can change that quickly. This playlist is approved by Chicken Nugget himself. The first half is fairly self explanatory with lyrics or titles relating to him. The second half is inspired by the awareness bracelet I have that says “No One Fights Alone”. Sending encouragement to everyone out there doing their best to fight this! Fighting! Hwaiting! Jiayou! Susu Na! Ganbatte!

Waking Up Playlist #3
Greetings Jellies,I hope you’re staying healthy, eating well, and sleeping well. This weeks theme: Lixia (The Start of Summer)This year I decided to try and do something different. I’ve been making these lists for my sister for a few years, so for this year I decided to base holiday and observances off of the Chinese calendar. I'm trying to use these lists to add to my personal studies as I research about the holidays and their history. I read a post talking about Lixia and the sounds of summer being crickets and toads. When I went for my last hike, there were lots of toads along the path and the sound of them near the water was like a chorus. Though for me it’s the sounds of birds and cicadas, seeing wildflowers along the roads that is the ushering in of the summer season. I made this playlist after thinking about the feelings of Summer. For some it’s baseball season, for others it’s the sunshine, it’s freedom, it’s fireworks, and it’s being young or feeling young. I tried to encompass a lot of those feelings in this list.

Rei Waking Up Playlist #1
Hello Jelly Squishes, While this blog is new, my “Waking Up” playlist isn’t. Technically I started doing these back in 2022, though only a few people knew about it. It was created as a way to help Chickadee (little sister) who struggled with mornings, getting up, and ready for the day. Each week I put together 10-15 songs with a theme. I try to go a long time between repeating songs and themes, but eventually things do cycle around. The more I did these lists, the more themes, and songs I collected. I also had more people who learned about the list and started following it. Up till recently the playlist was only shared, but I am officially launching it here. Every week when the playlist updates I’ll be posting the link and the list of songs played. I update the list on Tuesday afternoons so it's ready for the midweek slump on Wednesday morning. While the playlist was originally only on Youtube I have started doing it on Spotify too. Youtube allows me to mix in videos so it’s why I originally stuck to it, because there are so many amazing covers and YouTube exclusive I like to mix in. I will try to find fun replacement songs for the Spotify version of the list to replace any Youtube exclusive songs. This weeks theme: Floral Songs featuring words associated with flowers and the names of flowers. Everything around me is currently in bloom and during my nature walks I’ve been having fun identifying the flowers growing. While I know it’s not spring everywhere in the world, I do hope the weather allows for taking in nature for everyone. Youtube and Spotify Lists are the same this Week1. Daisy by Pentagon2.
