New project
I’m going to start drawing again. I know I’ve said this a million times now. but I think I’m on to something this time and can finally make it work.
drawing my food instagrams instead of just snapping a photo. i mean, ok, of course i still have to take a picture first and THEN draw it. but, i don;t know, i feel excited about it. the first time in a long time :)
well, that’s one good thing this week.

a little bit of retrospective rambling
I haven't forgotten about you, I just wanted some time to "brew" my thoughts. people tell me about "blog" branding a lot-- there are design blogs, fashion blogs, cooking blogs..etc they generally stick to a subject and delve into it, deep. I'm not sure how I can do that, since my thoughts are so scattered. so until I figure that out, I won't "focus" this blog just yet. now, to the main point: this past saturday, I was instagram stalking this girl for a solid 15 minutes. she is a friend of a friend of someone who used to me a friend (now that's some degrees of separation). maybe that's just what social media does to you, you look and scroll and look some more, obsessing about this person that you've never met and their life that seems so fun. they eat, travel, live life, buy certain things and see certain people (yes, I know that that's really superficial and instagram isn't "real life") but I couldn't help but to be a little envious. I have wavering thoughts like that sometimes. unhealthy and unrealistic thoughts where I imagine that my life may be or would be better if it was like someone else's. and then I realize how ridiculous it sounds, and promptly snap out of it. part of the time, I blame it on social platforms and well, it's true. doesn't everyone's lives look so glamorous? part of the time, I blame myself for simply spending way too much on the Internet. it's a blessing and a curse. so how do we deal? heh, I don't know ;)

Hair (take 2)
this is take 2, but the first take was deleted by tumblr. thank you. and please excuse the lack of (or random) capitalization. Hair is a sensitive topic to a lot of people, in a way that I had never realized before going to college. it is full of cultural, racial significance, and while that is not what I want to write about (not knowledgeable on the topic and frankly haven't given it the time that it deserves for me to even try to make a semi-intelligent comment), I want to acknowledge it. this, however, is about my hair. or rather, my inability to decide what to do with it. when it's long, I want it short, but as soon as I cut it, I want it longer again and it never grows fast enough. my hair isn't the most healthy, but it's not incredibly shiny and nice either. well, just my hair. two days ago, my hair was slightly dirty (day old, unwashed, and windswept in the not good kind of way) and I had just the biggest impulse to cut it all off. of course, being a couple minutes past midnight, I couldn't actually do it then and there (no hair salons were still open). so I went home, washed and conditioned it, and magically, I didn't want to cut it anymore, whoosh! it was nice again. today, my hair is ok, but my face's been itchy all day and I am convinced that it's because my hair keeps getting in my face. I want this dreadful mess around my face gone! and this time, I made an appointment to get it cut. so there. things in life needs to be done on an impulse. without spontaneity, I will get nothing done. I'm a status quo kinda gal.

2015 New Years resolution partially achieved! one of my New Years resolution is to finish one book every month. and ok, I may have cheated a little bit (ok, fine, a lot) here, since I've started this last year AND I could barely call it "a book". I was browsing eslite one afternoon for secret santa gifts and came across this book. The old fashioned being my choice cocktail for consumption lately (and since then, probably will be always), I just had to buy it. This book is almost half fill with recipes for the classic drink as well as new variations that have become popular as of late, but what really fascinated me was the first part of the book, which chronicled the rise and fall and general history of the drink: pre-, during, and post-prohibition. it's always good to know where things you like come from. now if I can only remember everything I had read about it, it will make for some very impressive small talk topic ;) and yay to my trusty Strand bookmark!

Hiyo, I know I’ve been slacking a bit, but lately, there really hasn’t been much going on. I’ve been tempted to have relatively productive weekends.. that have inevitably failed because I can.not.wake.up.on.time.
and takes naps constantly. I did manage to go to SSP to buy some faux-leather...

Habitual Fatigue
I remember the days when i used to work 90-100 hrs a week and wouldn't even start thinking about going home until after midnight. and yet, maybe I was younger or maybe because I had just started my job or maybe I was just used to it and didn't feel tired anymore.
These days man, I feel like I'm sitting around, waiting around and getting tired very early. and thus, not getting a lot done because I also waste a lot of time.
sigh.

I have an Instagram problem. I check it multiple times a day, and incessantly post and tag friends and my heart skips a beat when I see a new like on my photos. I am by no means (not even close) a professional instagramer, if there is such a thing. I'm not a blogger, not really social media savvy. I don't hashtag a billion things to get the necessary hits on my photos and frankly, the number of people that I follow far exceed the number that follow me. yet, this platform holds a dear spot in my heart. maybe it does really take someone with a certain level of self-centered-ness to post pictures of their lives for the world to see. but hey, aren't we all to some extent? I'm saying that there's another side to Instagram because not only does it fill the hole of self-promotion and existentialist hole we all have in an age of #fomo, it's like a condensed photo book of your life. mostly happy moments, because who posts unhappy things for self-promotion? Instagram condenses, (ok for me anyway) because I don't want to be THAT PERSON who posts 15 pictures a day. so I pic the best ones. and on random days like yesterday, I go through all my Instagram posts and remember the really awesome adventures I've had, the tasty food I've eaten/made, and the people that I shared all those things with 😊

Once you forget, you will keep forgetting
...and that is something that I'm not yet willing to let happen. I mean, c'mon it's barely half the month! So, when I remember, I'll post something-- even if it's just for the sake of posting. I have a procrastination problem. which leads to me staying up until 5am doing something that I should've done over a week ago. bad habits die hard.

Oops
First time I've missed a post. Wine is the worst, by the way, in case I ever forget.
Wednesday was one of those days where everything was a mess. but it was also a much needed day for me to relax and just take things slowly. Didn't do much at all, but I feel like it'll give me a much needed energy boost. Let's see tomorrow.
