#Catillaturday guidance:

Bee tee dubs this would be for #Saturdays. Like #Caturday, but #Catillaturday

Theme song is "Can I lick it (yes you can)" by A Tongue Fall Quest

(Summender Kopf, Morgengrau knapp über Null, Krähen auf Premiumfahrzeugen und die Baustelle kennt keine ruhigen Tage. Rückweg, Wind zerzaust altes Papier, Spätherbstgefühl, Magnolienblüte.) #outerworld #concrete_city #returning #saturdays

#Saturdays are for petting #cats, doing all the #laundry, #volunteering at the #community #garden, feeding #peanuts to #jays on the back deck, and #updating all your #selfhosted #docker #containers (like #nextcloud and #onlyoffice ) <3

☕️ Books at arms length. Collecting paragraphs and perspectives. Coffee and other sides of fences. 9am, sunny horizon. #outerworld #concrete_city #saturdays #still_waking

Verknittert, verpeilt, verschlafen und zu spät, für was auch immer. Die letzte Stunde vor dem Tagesanbruch reibt sich immer sehr spürbar über Geist und Seele, und irgendwann kapituliert man vor der Unruhe, lässt Decken und Kissen zurück und verknüpft sich wieder mit der erwachenden kleineren und größeren Umwelt. Vogelbeobachtungen, akustisch. Ein Schlüsselbund fällt im Hof, eine müde Stimme drückt Schreck und Ärger aus, hinter anderen Wänden spielen Kinder. Frühstücksplan, Routinen, Kaffee und noch nicht sehr viel mehr, um diese Zeit. Habt es mild heute. #outerworld #concrete_city #the_early_hours #saturdays #waking_to_the_day

COMMUNITY THROUGH KOLLECTIVE

At Kollective Studios, community is among their core tenants alongside creativity, choreography and just a little bit of chaos. Among Kitchener- Waterloo’s newest creative ventures, the Kollective Studios partnership introduced Kollective Kreations, a crafting space that focuses on the art of decoden. Decoden is derived from the Japanese words for decoration (deco) and phone (den). Known for its over-the-top cute designs, decoden is a DIY craft using whipped cream-inspired glue and adorablecharms to decorate items like phone cases, Polaroid frames and accessories.

Their grand opening weekend for their new venture took place over the weekend of Jan. 9 to 11, 2026. Community members came out en masse to try their hand at decoden and to support business duo Kezea Shayne Gamboa and Alex Duong.

Following up the successful launch of their dance studio Kollective Khaos on Aug. 22, 2025, the two are now offering alternative creative outlets to their dancers as well as the wider Waterloo Region audience.

As an immigrant who came to Canada from the Philippines with her family in 2017, Gamboa always found that community was a big part of her life. Being able to foster a creative community in a leadership role has been a lifelong dream of Gamboa’s, starting in high school where she choreographed dances and taught them to her classmates.

“I really want to build a community where it’s filled with different stories, different backgrounds and different types of creativity,” Gamboa said. Gamboa and Duong met in 2023, in one of Gamboa’s K-pop dance classes. They quickly became friends through the environment that Gamboa cultivated in her classes, with post-class group dinners to Korean BBQ.

Duong loved the atmosphere so much that he began encouraging Gamboa to open her own studio and further expand her ethos to more than just her own classes.

“That’s where Kollective Khaos dance comes from. We want everyone to feel like they’re part of it and that they’re not just coming for dance class. It’s a safe space and a place where you can feel empowered to be yourself or discover new parts of yourself,” Duong said. Gamboa’s ambitions were not just limited to the dance studio either; on weekends the dance studio used to sit empty, but now Saturdays and Sundays host bustling decoden workshops, allowing folks to come out and try a different kind of creativity.

“When people ask for my advice on how to get over a choreography creativity block, I always tell people to do something else. Do something else that fires up that creativity that’s not dancing,” Gamboa said. “

It really helped me a lot with my creativity blocks and then, because you’re still using your brain, it’s just not on the one thing that you’re stressing about. It’s like a different type [of creativity] and it’s making your brain happy again and allowing it to breathe,” she said.

At its core, Kollective Studios is all about community and connection. For both Gamboa and Duong, without opportunities to socialize together outside of class, they wouldn’t have some of the meaningful relationships they do now. Every month the studio holds a movie night in their space which they pair with a themed dance routine. In January, they watched Bring It On: All or Nothing and learned a routine with guest instructor Sky Pahl, Canadian Football League and National Lacrosse League cheerleader and dancer.

“[It’s] a great time, because we have like a little slumber party almost, so we get to talk to each other … we get to hang around, we get to laugh at the movie and talk about it. I think that’s a huge thing with building community, and I think we’ve had a good response,” Duong said.

Kollective Studios offers multi-week sessions and drop-in dance classes from Monday to Friday in the evenings. On weekends, Kreations runs from noon to 6 p.m. and offers a multitude of accessories for crafters to customize. The studio is moving on Feb. 8 from their current location at 275 Larch St. in Waterloo to a bigger space at 259 King St. W., Unit 203 in Kitchener.

Back after all, listening, watching. Birds nearby, birds in distance. Student life across the streets behind windows half opened, both kinds: That one involving books and paper, and that one involving music and drinks. Chances and paths within familiar boundaries. And ones own limitations everywhere nearby. A sigh in cold air. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

Nachmittag Vorabend in Stadtluft. Die eigenen Schritte auf kaltem Stein. Parkbuchten, Haustüren, Nachbars Hunde. Die ersten Supermärkte haben ihre Tore verschlossen. Zeitlos am Rande des Weges, immer noch im Tag.

#outerworld #concrete city #through the afternoon #saturdays

(Grey sky dim streets black coffee bright candles. 8am and on, slowly taking shape, a day ahead and setting a brief route to steer through the hours. Curious restless and always in a bit of motion.)

#outerworld #concrete city #saturdays #the winter in everything

9am already, slow and indecisive. November in its grey clothes, hazy rain, clouds and mood hidden somewhere below. Pondering words, rituals, time. No real ideas, just fragments. As always.

#outerworld #concrete city #saturdays #november grey

Past 9pm, feels much later, slow breath, sleepy and detached from these hours. Clean dishes dirty dishes and a teapot, mostly empty. Diffuse lights on a hazy windowpane, the city outside feeling like but a layer of shapes and colours, forming images but lacking any depth or structure. Music from the pub, a bit more noisy today, not annoying but just not blending with the current mood very much. Yawning and turning down heat. Early night but late enough again. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

Mit den Stunden schwand die Sonne. Vorabend unter dichten Wolken, milder Wind fächelt über den Parkplatz. Im anderen Supermarkt werden die Regale umsortiert und allein die Beobachtung erzeugt spürbare Nervosität. Gegenüber warten noch zwei große grimmige Kürbisse an der Kreuzung aber in ihrem Inneren fehlt heute das Licht. Ahnungen von Äußerlichkeiten und Leere, während der Tag weiterzieht.

#outerworld #concrete city #afternoon deviations #saturdays

(Innehalten in stilleren Räumen. Die Heizung rauscht wieder. Warten auf eigene Lichter, deren Stunde noch nicht heran ist, während laute Bässe über die Straße treiben, an den Fassaden tanzen. So viele Aufbrüche in den Abend, so viele lose Bilder zwischen zwei Atemzügen.)

#outerworld #concrete city #crafts and magic #saturdays

Early hours passing, day clothing itself in autumn. Kids playing downstairs, the rooms are echoing laughter and the sound of running and chasing each other. Energy to be envious of. Elsewhere: Fruits and a candle, breakfast, still waiting to fully wake up yet.

A lot later. The city and the night. Some light in some windows, some guests arriving late, some leaving early. Neon sidewalks, teenagers drinking in front of the pub and uncounted conversations escaping into the starless void. Dim kitchen. A cup of cold tea. Trying to catch up with oneself, unsure where to meet. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

#outerworld #concrete city #later that day #saturdays

Past 9am. Caffeinated again, observing the thick clouds and the life unfolding behind all the windows opening to the street. Somewhere in between still sleepy and again restless.

Off somewhere Spock?

At the spaceport there's a rare freighter docking from the Delta quadrant with unique engineering and I'm meeting some fellow enthusiasts to compare notes

Many moons ago on earth stream engines were prized at train stations by train spotters.

I'd love to have been there sir
AHH the legendary flying Scotsman

With all the rain (and some thunder), I got out my sparkly pink wellies so I could go splishy-splashy as I ran my errands :)

(Too: The surprising endeavour of listening to ones inner monologues while mind and body are idle. Somewhere in between unsolved daily challenges, weird anxieties of all flavours, fantasies same as weird, and a transforming subtext hard to understand. Moving on as a strategy to avoid this kind of exposure. Trained to feel guilty in idle mode.)

#innerworld #saturdays #the art of not doing

Almost 10am again. Moving around dishes and furniture. Collecting laundry. Chores in a mechanic mode, somewhere in between feverish activity to confront the shortcomings of ones own closer surroundings - and the desire to just leave for the garden now. Decisions decisions.

#outerworld #concrete city #saturdays #moving with the day

Too, fading daylight makes dirt on windowpanes disappear for a while, grants several other shortcomings in a dusty old flat with the mercy of temporary invisibility. Stories of keeping things in order one doesn't want to run into while returning.
