Day 2 – A song that makes you happy

Published by Justine

You I’m Thinking Of by Relish. This song has always been part of my happy list but there are moments that I completely forget about it then suddenly, it starts playing in my head again. Reminds me so much of car rides going to school back in Jakarta when my favorite radio station would play this almost daily. This track definitely plays a pivotal role in my Jakarta life. I don’t even know any other songs from this band but the moment I hear this it automatically gives me good vibes.

The Sunday Currently, v13

Published by Justine

In addition to my blog challenge, I shouldn’t be shelving my usual series. FEELING Pretty chill. Compared to the past weeks, this is what I absolutely need. I am also getting accustomed to weekends without alcohol and partying a lot more compared to last year and I feel like it’s going in the right direction, without all the FOMO and everything. I woke up really late today though, like way past noon (hence the post below) and I sorta felt guilty about that. But then again this weekend has been all about sleeping in because last week was such a busy week for me. LISTENING My August playlist on Spotify! I try and have a playlist each month but I was so caught up with health issues last July so I only got to do another one for August. EATING Kiamoy from Aji Ichiban! That stuff can get so addicting to me. WATCHING Little Mix’s acoustic performance of Black Magic. This has never been a secret for a few years now that it’s always been …

Day 1 – What you had for breakfast

Published by Justine

Well isn’t it a bit late for this now? I woke up at at almost 1pm (yay for Sundays) and as of this writing my sister is cooking meatloaf and we’re waiting for the sushi platter delivery from Azabu via Foodpanda because it’s 50% off today! I know I’m not supposed to be doing this, skipping meals and eating at weird hours considering I just got out of the hospital the past week because of gastritis but I didn’t wake up on time. On weekdays I do better!

30-day Blog Challenge 2015

Published by Justine

After last year’s sense of fulfillment in completing a blog challenge that I didn’t think I would be able to, I realized it would be a good exercise to do it again this year. I had no intention of participating in another blog challenge anymore but I was on Medium the other day and saw Nicole Zhu’s 100 Days of Writing series that it actually prompted me to do a 100 day blog challenge right then and there. I then calculated the timeline and saw that I wouldn’t be done until November (if I decided to do it daily, what more if I didn’t) and my commitment-phobe tendencies tingled so I looked for something of lesser frequency and stumbled across this one from 2 years ago by Live For Tomorrow. Looks like it’s something that will also benefit my current mental health and that’s always a good goal in itself, right? What you had for breakfast A song that makes you happy Someone you’re grateful for Your dream job #TBT A fave memory A food you could eat …

Friday’s 10 Happy Things, v5

Published by Justine

I’m happy that my happy things entries have finally reached the 5th version! Let’s not waste any time.. Busy busy week! The upside to a busy week is that time flies by really fast.. I had to run so many errands this week in between my 3 jobs (phew)! Signed resignation letter. This was one of the hardest things I had to do this year. So much decision-making took place since the beginning of the year and I finally decide to hand it in. This is really for me more than anyone else.. and I hope this decision takes me to great places. Yoga. Woohoo!! How happy am I? The last time I did yoga was about a month and a half ago (one of my longest hiatus ever since I started). Yesterday’s class was a lot slower than the usual flow so it was a bit taxing on my hamstrings.. BUT ALL GOOD. Ahhhh. The Six Pack dot co. My best friends and I decided to start a blog about our friendship and post …
