Sleep in? I wish. Honestly, I do not to get sleep in anymore. I did however woke up a lot later than normal. But then again – I was up super late last night. Super late to the point that I even decided to just not sleep anymore, but I guess I ended up passing out anyway.

What was the first thing I did when I woke up? Yes. Made espresso. And while that was doing its thing, I fed the doggos. I won’t lie, I was definitely dragging the whole morning – well, the whole day. I was feeling a bit off. My eyes were itchy – well still are. I was definitely feeling unmotivated to move. Yeah, one of those days.

I just made some white rice and fried some lumpia. And while doing that – I was also reading. Bad Blood by John Carreyrou. I am finally almost done with the book. The curse of reading multiple books. The book is about Theranos and the fraudulent practices that company did. The book definitely annoys me. Well, not the book itself, but more really on the extent of what the CEO and COO did to get this commercially available to patients despite not having a working machine. It was crazy.

I did spend some more quality time with my hun. We did watch some episodes of Trigun. We are getting more background now about Vash, and the big reveals on those episodes had me at the edge of my seat. Meryl definitely has thing for Vash. I’m calling it now. Do not ever get personally invested in a subject.

Of course, we did watch some Yuri on Ice. And yes, my emotional self cried again. Not my fault! That anime is just sooo good! Showing the journey of this Japanese ice skater name Yuri Katsuki. The improvements on his routine or should I say program every single time he competes…CHEF’S KISS. We are in that episode where they introduced JJ. Or as he calls himself, King JJ. I cannot. I think he is the only character in the anime that I do not really care for. The few times I had watched the anime alone, I skipped his performances to be honest. His inner monologue just kills it for me every single time.

My hun decided to introduce me to another anime called Another. That one I think is a pass for me. I am not a big fan of supernatural stuff to be honest. I even paused in the middle of the second episode just to ask my hun what the heck am I walking into. Two episodes in and I still have no idea what the anime is about, yeah, no. Third episode in and I still did not have the answers I wanted. It’s like me reading a book, if I’m on the third chapter and I still have no idea where the heck the story is going, I will DNF that shit.

However, I am not going to lie, the premise is fine. And the only reason I know of the premise is because my hun decided to just tell me. And after hearing that, it really bothered me that the protagonist, Kouichi, has been looking for answers and no one seems to want to give it to him especially on the fact that his actions has serious consequences. No one had briefed him on what the fuck is going on. He was thrown in this situation without a disclaimer. Can you tell I’m annoyed? Because I am.

We also decided to watch Persona5. And my hun started nerding out since he played the game before. Adorable. So far, I like it. I am enjoying the pacing of the story, the art style and the animation. The premise is also interesting. One of the characters is a talking cat! Which is also my hun’s favorite character. This one is a yes for me.

Hmmm, you know I hate Sundays? Just because I know that tomorrow I would have to be back to work. It’s not a good feeling to be honest. No wonder I’m always so unmotivated on Sundays. It sets the tone for my week, meaning I know that I will be dragging my ass out of bed just to go to a place that I really do not want to be in.

Here’s to tomorrow.

What is the first thing I did when I woke up this morning? I made some espresso. I have been pretty caffeine deprived lately so I decided to just go for it. Added some french vanilla syrup and oat milk creamer – oh yeah, that was heaven. I honestly do not understand why I keep choosing caffeine withdrawals on a daily basis instead of just giving in. I just feel like a human when I get my caffeine fix.

Like a normal Saturday, I did my laundry – or what my boyfriend calls “sexy laundry”. I still do not get it after almost two years but I just go with it. The morning was pretty much spent watching this new show in Netflix, “The Ultimatum”. I watched it with my a friend all morning. Oh boy that show is definitely trashy…But we cannot stop watching it. The only thing that I appreciated about it – damn, youngins can talk about their feelings. They are more open about it and can freely show their emotions. Pretty refreshing to be honest. This new generation can definitely communicate. Wish, my generation is that comfortable.

Afternoon was spent with my love. Our date nights. I recently introduced him to Yuri on Ice. And from what I can see, he seems to be enjoying it. Granted, he has his “OMG”, “Why” moments. But I appreciate it. Yuri on Ice is one of my favorite animes and I am glad that I can enjoy the anime with him. And yes, I cried during Yuri’s free skate event and that first kiss with Victor…Oh yeah, I swooned. I fangirl’d so much.

We also watched some episodes of Trigun. And yes, Vash the Stampede is swoon worthy. The anime is engaging and it’s just so interesting to me. I cannot stop watching it. I normally hate a character in an anime, and I still have to discover that someone in this anime. My hun thought that it would be Milly, but I cannot seem to find it in my heart to hate such a ditsy character. She is just so pure hearted. It seems so wrong to hate her. I just cannot.

We watched the movie Turning Red as well. And oh boy, the pressure of being an Asian kid and always wanting that approval from your parents. I felt that. My parents were not as bad but the expectations were still there. It was instilled in me that I always have to be the good girl, I always have to be good in school. Growing up being compared to your peers, to your cousins, definitely was not a good feeling. It was nice when I broke the mold. And it was satisfying that Meilin was able to that as well.

We did end our date night early. And that was totally fine. Gave me the chance to look at this blog again and figure out what needs to change. My hun has been pretty supportive and gave me a few ideas on how to start over with this blog. See if that formula works. Just free writing you know? I was not sure why I decided to make this blog so restrictive when I like free writing the best. So let’s find out together where this format takes me.
