The Sunday Currently, v25

Published by Justine

FEELING A bit of regret over eating that bowl of rice for dinner. Mom cooked shrimp and it was too good. A bit tired too because I was semi-working all weekend. I am also very very sleepy and will probably doze off as soon as this entry is published. READING No book atm because I’m so bad at reading books nowadays. I promise I’m going to catch up! WATCHING Descendants of the Sun and it’s seriously stressing me out. I think gone are the days when I could stomach deep Song Joong Ki (e.g. The Innocent Man/Nice Guy) dramas. It’s seriously stressing me out even though I’m just on episode 5. I might consider switching to a lighter one and people have been recommending Weightlifting Fairy. WEARING The same black dress I wore this morning to work. Yes, I worked this weekend! HOPING For this week to be a strong, productive, kick-ass week in terms of work. And that I don’t spend anymore. LISTENING LOVING That I can easily fall asleep at night now because …

Things I Love Thursday, #9

Published by Justine

Sunnies Specs in Reagan Bronze I used to wear the Alister prior, but in less than 6 months my grade shot up and wearing plastic lenses suddenly became so heavy. I tried their metal collection and was pleasantly surprised at how I loved the fit of the Reagan. What I like about Sunnies Specs is that it’s stylish but inexpensive. Kehlani’s Distraction Been obsessed with this song recently. Terrace House Aloha State Terrace House Aloha State is a Japanese reality show centered around human beings who live and interact with each other for a certain amount of time. This time, it’s set in North America so relationships and way of life are more Westernized as opposed to the original series. Everything is based among the famous Japanese simplicity of interior design and cinematography. Impatiently patiently waiting for Part 2 to come out on this side of Netflix! Riverdale I can’t really say I love Riverdale yet, but the fact that I keep watching it every week is an indication of my interest. I kind of …

Random Questions Vol. 3

Published by Justine

What’s a typical Sunday like: I quite love my Sundays. It’s usually church by mid-morning with Mom and Jana, then off to lunch. Groceries or shopping in the afternoon, then chill at coffee shops before heading back home to cap off the weekend! Name three things that are physically close to you: My laptop, my phone, my flavor of the moment. I have this thing where if I like something I have to sleep with it, except clothes (sometimes!) and shoes. So like if I bought a new planner or a new pen or new makeup, then there’s a huge probability that it’s beside me when I sleep. The drink you always order at Starbucks: Apple Berry Juice Freeze, but they recently officially took it off the list. I’ve been ordering it off-menu for a good two years. Sigh! Other than that it’s Iced Soy Green Tea Latte Venti, but with 2 scoops of green tea, 3 pumps mocha, and 3 pumps vanilla. Yes, I’m one of those annoying people with a customized order sounding …

January: An Eventful Month

Published by Justine

Usually when January ends I would be like, “That was fast!” and wonder how the month flew by just like that. It’s quite different this time. Last month was pretty damn eventful that it would be a waste not to write about it and look back on all the events that took place. This might be a long one! Birthdays My childhood best friend Hazel celebrated her 30th with a bang. 3 decades is a feat and should be celebrated just like she did it. We’ve been friends for 23 years and I’ve missed her birthdays because I would always be out of the country for Christmas but I’m glad I was here this time, and for her 30th at that! Jana also celebrated her 17th birthday at home with about 30 of her friends. The older my sister grows the older it makes me but honestly, it just feels like the generation gap between us gets smaller. She was such a baby to me before, but now I can even start taking her out …
