Nothing here but my musings about daily life, books, anime, and food.
I often get tired of daily huddles. First, and this may sound selfish, but I really couldn’t care less about other teams’ KPIs. All this information can be done via email. I DO NOT CARE. Second, the person leading the huddle always asks how is everybody doing? We’re at work, what do you think? We’re in this huddle saying the same thing, over and over. Yeah. Again, what do you think? I swear, I’ve been tempted a few times to say, “Same shit, different day”.
Work today was meh. But then again, work is always meh for me.
I came home and I just wanted to hang out with my hun. Good thing that he wanted to hang out as well. Usually, Mondays are for the boys. But today, I guess he was not having fun playing video games. I was more than happy to hang out with him when he suggested watching some episodes of House.
The season 2 finale of House was trippy. I was so confused – with his hallucinations, and with him trying to figure out what was real and not. It was a good episode. Also for some reason, Amazon Prime decided to play Episode 1 of season 3 instead of auto playing the finale of season 2…We were so confused and lost. Both of us were like “What? Are we missing something?”
We also watched an episode of Rosario + Vampire. We are enjoying it, my hun is enjoying the minimal fan service. We both have issues with an 11-year-old character being sexualized. And no, that character is not a Loli. I’m sorry. That character is a literal kid. She is an 11-year-old witch who skipped grade levels to be in high school. There is no reason for anyone to sexualize that character.
At least tomorrow is already Wednesday. My hun is doing a double shift. I really need to put studying Python back on my schedule. I really need to get a move on.
It’s really nice to sleep in on a Monday. We really need to have more three day weekends…OR you know, just make it a fucking four-day work week! I don’t get it. I mean personally I prefer a shorter work week. Knowing that I’m only working four days this week is awesome. I don’t dread it too much.
Aside from the usual chores, it’s trash day today. So I did that. And the rest of day was pretty much spent watching House and anime with my love.
So in every show or anime, I tend to not like one character. Decisions might annoy me, but there is always that one character that I cannot stand. House MD of course has one character that I cannot stand…Cameron. Her complaints on the episodes that we watched today annoyed the shit out of me.
We finished Battle in 5 seconds after Meeting. This is an anomaly for me. I didn’t outwardly hate any character on this anime. I really did enjoy it and I’m annoyed that the second season is still not out and no confirmed date of release yet. I think Akira Shironayagi is a very intriguing protagonist. And he kept me watching the show. I am not one to be impressed by pure strength, Akira has brains and he thinks first before making a move. Sure, he is manipulative but with a survival of the fittest kind of game, you need to strategic and let emotions be on the sidelines. My hun thought I would not like Rin Kashii. I think I surprised him when I said that I’m also intrigued by her. Same with Kuroiwa, I preferred him more that his brother for sure. Hands down.I’m also intrigued with the Blue Team’s leader, Iori.
We also watched some episodes of Rosario Vampire. Yes the fan service was definitely present in this anime, it’s still not as bad as some other ones. I remembered enjoying this anime a while back so I would like to see what my hun thinks about it.
You know, for being lazy I feel like I was very productive today. Well, for the most part. I finished my laundry. I cooked fish. And practically washed dishes. The side of the kitchen where the dishwasher and the disposal still has no power. I did send a maintenance request to the office, and still have no reply. Understandable though. It’s Sunday and tomorrow is a holiday. So I am not expecting any communication from them until this coming Tuesday.
My hun and I decided to hangout early today. We haven’t really spent time online since Saturday last week. I was feeling sick last week, and his schedule was a bit off. We decided to watch a few movies and an episode of House.
First movie, Forrest Gump. There are definitely some differences between the movie and the book. I’m not mad about the difference. I like how Lt. Dan was given an actual reason to live. His story arc and character development was awesome in the movie. I hoped they kept Sue in the movie. But of course they did not since the whole Forrest was sent to space was not in the movie. I’m glad he got to keep his Medal of Honor in the movie. And he got to raise his son. My feelings for Jenny is the same – I am very neutral and maybe bordering not liking that character in both the movie and book.
Second movie, Senior Year. Cringe movie. It has funny parts. I enjoyed it enough. I was about to stop the movie since I was feeling the high school scene before Steph went into a coma. But after that, it was pretty smooth sailing. Definitely some cringe moments, but I appreciated the laughs.
Third movie, Hard Ball. Keanu Reeves. ‘Nuff said. Kidding aside, that movie was really good. I appreciate Keanu in romance movies, action movies, but this drama hits different. And I appreciate that he does not shy away from other roles. This one made me smile, and made me cry…But more importantly, this movie also annoyed me because of some decisions made by Keanu’s character.
Then we watched an episode of House. That show is such a gem.
My hun and I are planning to hangout again tomorrow.
Well, since I went to happy hour with some coworkers yesterday after work, I forgot to post. I was too inebriated and all I wanted to was to get ready for bed and sleep when I got home. Well, that and talk to my hun since I am always missing his voice.
Surprisingly, I had fun last night. For the whole week, I was dreading happy hour. I was being antisocial, and I really did not want to socialize. But I’m glad I went. The first I did when I got to the bar was went straight to the bar and ordered myself a vodka redbull. I was surprised that it was in a tumbler! Our group secured a nice big table hidden from the public and it was pretty nice. Well, I appreciated it. I hate crowds so that table was god sent! I ordered six carnitas rolled tacos, and while waiting for food, I finished my first drink. I went to the bar again to order my second vodka redbull for the night. Conversations on our table revolved around books, movies, shows, the JD and AH defamation trial, and random things. Some of us wanted to play some arcade games since we were at an arcade bar. So they went, and I ordered my third vodka redbull…Was I drunk, not exactly but I was having a good buzz. All of us wanted to play DND so we just decided to form our own with Everett to be the DM. That will be interesting if that actually happened.
When I got home, I had some left over subway sandwich and realized off the bat that I wished I stopped by Jack in the Box and got me some burger and fries. Because all I really wanted when I’m inebriated is some greasy fast food. Note to self: next happy hour, stop by Jack, buy some ultimate cheese burger, curly fries, and a large coke.
Today, my hun and I had to cancel our date night. I met up with family for lunch. We went to my cousin’s place and some good sinigang and rice. Finally was able to see them since they moved here a year ago. I also met my cousin’s daughter and their doggo named Murphy! They are both cuties. Both sweet. We caught up with my aunt and uncle who were visiting from California. After lunch, we watched a movie called Old. I am still deciding if I liked the movie or not. The premise was really good. Acting was great. Dialogue was meh. And the shots were…interesting. After that, we watched another movie, Lady and the Tramp 2. That was cute. What’s not to love about dog movies? Nothing.
On the way from there, I stopped by Half Price Books. It took a lot of will power to limit myself with just two books and a bookmark. Because if I don’t, I will end up with more than five books and that is just not going to work. I have way too much books already that I need to read. I bought the Devil of Nanking and the Secret Garden. There are some new books available in the store for a discounted price but with my Book of the Month subscription, I can get them cheaper. So if I feel the need to get more books, I will just peruse Book of the Month first and get it from there.
Paco was smelling me intensely when I got home…And all I can in his eyes was judgment for cheating on him with Murphy. He did not relent from sniffing my clothes until I changed. He is one adorable furbaby. Doing laundry now so I won’t have to do that tomorrow.
Planning on spending a lot of time with my love tomorrow and on Monday as well. I miss him.
nerdy bunch.
I love an overcast weather. Not that I hate the sun, I just prefer a more cloudy weather is all. And I was glad that today was overcast…It was feeling a bit stuffy inside the office earlier so I decided to step out to get some cool air. And the moment I stepped out to the terrace, bam – not so cool air. Yuck. I was so deceived. I mean granted if you ask people maybe they will say that it was cooler out, but not to me. It was definitely not cold enough. At least not what I was expecting for such an overcast.
Work was busy – with meetings. I was drained. There really is no point of me rehashing my day. I just do not want to think about it anymore. There really is nothing interesting happening there to be honest. Just me being exhausted every single day.
Tonight I will read. I did read some last night but I fell asleep at some point. I woke up with the book on top of Paco, closed, with the bookmark right next to my head. And all I could think of was “Great, I’m going to need to figure out where I stopped.” So far the book is interesting enough. I feel like I already know who the protagonist will end up with if the book goes there.
I couldn’t decide on what to play in the background right now. I pretended to browse through Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, and Amazon Prime…But I already knew what I wanted to play. It was between You or You’ve Got Mail. I know I know, why even bother when I always on the same things. I just wanted to know if there was anything that might pique my interest aside from my usual go-to’s. But to no one’s surprise, I picked You, starting on season 1 again.
Sometimes I wish my days are not so repetitive. I feel so bored with my life at times. I don’t know. Of course people will say if you want change, you need to make the change. I know that. I should really start making something out of my life. I think I feel I’ve been stuck in such a rut and I’m getting bored. Not just about my job, but my daily activities.
Remember when you were a kid and your mom always pressured you to take a nap at around noon? Yeah I wish that’s still still a thing when you’re an adult, without having to sacrifice your pay if you’re working an hourly job. All I can think of right now is that I want a nap.
Work was meh. But no surprise that there. I’ve been feeling meh about work for the last year or so. At this point I’m just really going with the motions. Just doing my day to day only willingly giving 80% of my energy. I’ve learned to never give work 100% of your energy? Why? Because it’s not worth it.
I will definitely read tonight. Because last night I passed out and totally did not even read a sentence off the book! How embarrassing. I’m itching to annotate the book. I only get the itch to annotate a book if I’m reading a nonfiction book. Annotating fiction reminds me of homework because that was all I did during my English writing class back in college. We’ll see.
Guess what’s playing in the background? You’ve Got Mail…again.
My hun is working double shifts for the next few days, so no hanging out for us until the weekend. And depending on when family wants to meet up over the weekend, our hangout time might even be cut short. I don’t like it.
I guess that’s it for today.
