07.26.22 – This Heat is Discouraging

I don’t think I need to say that today was hot as well. When I say that all of us in the office felt like we were melting, it means that it was really how it felt like being in there. I was thankful that the lab was actually climate controlled so it was just cool all day. But the extreme differences in temperature when we leave the lab to enter the office were not good. I mean I was having a headache for a bit. At least I didn’t have to be in any meetings today so I was able to just stay in the lab for the most part.

I was able to spend time with my love tonight. We just watched a movie but that is okay. We watched Mission: Impossible, the first one. I honestly don’t remember if I watched it before. I feel like I did, but I really don’t remember anything that happened in the movie. Maybe I started with Mission: Impossible 2. I don’t know. My hun said that it was a heist movie and most likely the reason why I really like it. Who knows. My thoughts on the first movie was good. I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely not as much Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. I’m trying to look for the third movie but none of my streaming services have it at the moment without an additional subscription. No good. 

Planning on reading a little bit tonight before I decide to go to bed. Normally, my bed would be calling my name at this hour. Or maybe it is calling my name, I just didn’t want to hear it. The thought of lying in bed is not really enticing at the moment because of this heat. I already took a cold shower too. I wiped down the dogs using a cold washcloth. Not sure if that helped them at all. But this heat is just so much.

07.25.22 – Brain is Melting

Today was too hot. We apparently have another heat wave. Not good. Since I already feel that my brain is melting all day today, I am not looking forward to the rest of the week. Anyway, since the office is in an ancient building, whatever the cause is, the AC is not really good in the office. So we can definitely feel the heat.

I went to grab an early dinner out – sushi. It was good. It was about 3 blocks maybe from work, never been there. The ambiance was really nice. But then again, I’m not surprised, I always enjoy the ambiance of a Japanese restaurant. It just seems so relaxing. To say that we didn’t want to leave the restaurant because of the AC was a huge understatement.

The drive home was nice. Since it was later than the normal time I leave work, there was no traffic anymore.

I am currently watching Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. This is the last movie I watched from the series so, as it stands right now, this is my favorite. So when this is on any of the streaming platforms I just watch it over and over.

07.24.22 – Surfing the Crimson Wave

Well, I did a disappearance for a bit. Why? Womanly issues. Let’s just say that I was having a rough few days – still having a rough day, to be honest. Let’s say that my best friends right now are the heating pad and Midol.

I had a mini breakdown yesterday in front of my hun. I was a bit emotional about things that I won’t discuss here. 

We did hang out yesterday, we watched The Amazing Spider-Man. I have not watched this in years but I was reminded yesterday how much I love Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker/Spider-man. I know there are a lot of people who didn’t like this version. But I love it. And more importantly, my hun enjoyed it as well. He was very adamant that he likes Tom Holland’s version, but now I’m not so sure. I’m pretty sure he was leaning towards the Andrew Garfield one. Not to exclude Tobey Maguire’s. That version will always have a special place in my heart. I was very open with my hun that I didn’t like the Tom Holland version and was not interested in watching the rest of the trilogy. The only reason why I wanted to watch No Way Home is because Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were there.

We also started rewatching Attack on Titan Season 1. This anime has been in the back of my head for a while now, wanting to continue on with the series. I am still not a fan of Eren and Mikasa. But my annoyance with Eren is not as pronounced now compared to the first time I watched season 1. We shall see how this will pan out.

07.20.22 – My Brain is Not Working

Nothing really happened today. I did manage to squeeze four trainings today. So that was productive I think.

I tried reading a mystery thriller and gave up after one chapter. Not in the mood for it. I am craving for something dark or maybe something sad. I don’t know. But I’m really struggling with this reading slump.

Still watching Gilmore Girls. In fact, I was watching it at work. Normally, I would be on YouTube the whole day. But now that I canceled YT premium, I really cannot take the ads, they annoy me. So that’s a no for me. So Netflix it is.

My head is really hurting thinking on what to type here today. The struggles were real. My hun is doing a double today, so of course no hang out today.

I guess I’ll end it here. I’m getting irritable with all the ads on Hulu and the heat. PMS is definitely not helping.

07.19.22 – Lazy-itis Strikes Again

Nothing exciting really happened. Today was the same as yesterday: meetings and more meetings. 

I found a YouTube video interview of my favorite Filipino actor – John Lloyd Cruz. I knew he was on an extended hiatus from making commercial movies and shows. Years now. Although the three interviews I watched were from 8 months and 5 months ago, I was so excited to see him again. And I was so late in the game that I didn’t realize that he is back, has a show right now. So what I have been doing for the last hour? FINDING A WAY TO WATCH IT. I tried going to the website and watching it there and it says that the show is not available in my region…Hmmm, maybe VPN will come in handy this time. We shall see.

I was supposed to be reading but I find myself staring at a page and reading a sentence over and over. Not fun. It’s very disappointing. 

Dead by Deadlight released new skins – Attack on Titan skins. So I was watching someone on Twitch just to see the new skins. My hun also streamed today while I was at work. And it definitely made my day enjoyable. Just hearing him play. Even if I am not as active in chat but the fact that I can hear him having fun was enough.

And since he was having fun with his friends today, we just decided for him to continue playing with his friends instead of hanging out. We did get to video call when they were taking a break earlier. So that was nice. I am not entirely sure what his schedule is tomorrow, but we shall see if we get to hang out then. 

I was also super lazy today. I ended up just stopping by the Filipino store on my home to get cooked food. I didn’t feel like cooking. It was too hot. I bought pork sinigang and balut. I wished the sinigang was sourer. And I wish that the balut was not dry. But it was okay. I can’t really complain since I really didn’t cook them. I had no control on how they cook their stuff, which was okay. I was paying for convenience and the dishes were good, I just have preferences is all.

My work schedule is super open for tomorrow so I am hoping it stays that way. The place I work likes surprise meetings. So we shall see.

07.18.22 – Gilmore Girls is a Cure for My Slump

Today is another meh for me. Well for work anyway – SHOCKER! A lot of paper pushing for me today. Not fun.

Anyway, I had fish and rice for dinner. I am definitely PMS-ing. Craving for salty and sweet and buffalo sauce. At least I am not irritable yet. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that this month. I was very irritable last month. Or at least there was a day that I was. I think it was only a day. But who knows.

I am currently getting sucked in Gilmore Girls. I’ve been watching this the whole weekend. I was watching this at work today. I do plan on getting some reading done tonight. I won’t even feel bad if I am only able to get through a page. A page is still a page. It’s still reading.

Also my brain is having issues trying to type this up. So I think I’m just going to end this here.
