It's only the 3rd week of the year. How time goes so slowly... well for me anyway. I think I'm in a rut since the same thing occurs every day -- it's like groundhog day except I don't know that each day is repeating itself. Ignorance is sure bliss (I think).
Maybe it's because I haven't got any plans and therefore nothing to look forward to? I had plans to watch a movie with Jamie but then last minute uni things pop up out of nowhere. Whoever said that spontaneity is the spice of life... hold on a second, nothing's perfect. Speaking of which, our daily (at times weekly) walks around the neighbourhood have been fun; it's more of a catch up session. Nothing trenuous but I love them regardless. Getting up early is a real pain though -- I am so not a morning person!
What else have I been up to? I borrowed some cook books involving Vietnamese cuisine. I figure that I should be able to cook something by now and with vietnamese food, mom can offer help. I've been skimming through the books and found the names of some vegetables including okra, kohlrabi and the one I absolutely love *drum roll* water spinach. Who would have thought that I'd like spinach? It just summons connotations of brussel sprouts. I've never had them before but apparently they're really awful! Working with veggies has helped me identify ones that I'd otherwise would never know. Like parsnip, fennel, swedes -- what the hell do you do with them? As you can imagine, I'm gonna be a hopeless cook but I'm learning... at a snail's pace.
And I haven't finished reading a book since God knows when. It's crazy. Insane.
Okay, that's enough for now. I'm sure I'll be back soon.
Another year gone and looking back, I haven't achieved anything. Yeah, sure I've started uni but I'm talking about having adventures, travelling the world... stories to tell your grandkids. Sure, I'm still young and there's plenty of time for all that but time is slipping and does not wait for the late and tardy! But lately, I find the days going quite slowly that I tend to forget what day it is. Maybe it's because it's the holidays!
I'm quite content with life at the moment. All I've got to worry about are the units I'm studying next semester because I've decided to extend my degree an extra year. So I'll have to go back to uni some time this or next week for some guidance.
It's been a week since the new year but to me it feels like it's been a month. Jamie was nice enough to spend new year's eve with me after I couldn't make it to the city and guess what? We made our resolutions (she came up with some of her own):
1) Get fit
Jamie and I have started walking around the neighbourhood in the
morning. It's nothing strenuous (we're not even power walking) and
doesn't last longer than half an hour but it's something at least?
Right? You gotta love our talks though!
2) Be happy, healthy and stress less!
It's a working process but I'm getting there! I find myself sleeping
late and waking up even later. On xmas day, I woke up at noon -- tell
me that's not normal!
3) Balance family, friends, work and uni
I had a lot of trouble with this one in 2006. Like everyone, I've
lost contact with many of my high school friends but gained some uni
ones instead. Wish me luck on this one, hopefully I'll be able to
juggle everything so my grades don't drop.
4) Not be single
Jamie came up with this one. I know for sure, my love life will continue to be nonexistent this year.
5) Get a haircut
Jamie again. If all goes well, I'll get a trim this Tuesday!
6) Be a better person
I've got to become more patient and understanding. And complain less but it's so much fun! hahAaha.
7) Get licence
Jamie yet again. Highly doubtful. I haven't had a driving lesson these
holidays unless you include a 2 minute drive from Marconi to my place.
8) Blog regularly
Need I say more?
What else have I been up to? I'm loving Gilmore Girls -- I've finished
the 1st season. I've caught up with the gang ice skating and I'm still
in pain. I stacked it and scrapped my elbow and it stings like crazy! I
feel like a 5 year old falling down in the playground! I can’t remember
the last time I fell down like that! My legs are still in pain!
I can’t wait for another outing. Maybe someone can organise bowling? I also need to go shopping. I haven’t done much post xmas shopping!
I really can't think of anything else so until next time!
