LAST WEEK’S FORTNIGHT’S WISHES

1. Continue to get better
After five days off two weeks ago, I finally got better. Got to spend the long-ish break with family and friends, that’s what mattered most!

2. Experiment with a proper camera
I picked up a Canon 5D Mark II with a huge ass 24-70mm lens and shot my cousin’s wedding. It felt exhilarating and liberating at the same time changing the settings every damn time. I’ve been really spoiled by the automatic functions of a non-DSLR camera. I took a total of 648 pictures that afternoon and am slowly ploughing through editing them now.

3. Do something to the hair
Oops, didn’t do much really. Maybe when I’m back from my trip. My hair really needs some TLC.

4. Be a little more selfish… not in a bad way of course
This is a slowly but surely work in progress. I’ve decided that there are two kinds of people in the world: the ones who are sincere about spending time with you, and those who only want to spend time with you when it’s convenient for them. The former makes an effort, no matter how busy you both may be. Those people I’m willing to give up dates with my bed on my off days for. The latter is exhausting to deal with because while you make time for them to hang out when they asked, getting them to say yes to something requires them to down a shot glass of poison. They aren’t worth my precious time. So either they make an effort, or screw you. I won’t entertain half-assed efforts too. Call me a bitch, but I am done being treated like a last option.

THIS WEEK’S WISHES:

1. Get Thai massage
Heading to Phuket for a night later this evening and quite excited about it. We don’t normally fly to Phuket for work and get to stay so I am gonna make full use of my time there. Like last week while I was in Bali (yet another unexpected stay), I want to laze by the pool and/or beach with a book and an ice cold drink… while trying not to think about the upcoming busy week ahead.

2. Stock up depleting essentials
I haven’t been to Japan in AGES. Which meant that I’ve ran out of stockings, Pocky and travel-sized shampoo bottles among other things. I miss my 105 yen sushi, and Ministop and Daiso. I am coming for ya!

3. Get 3 blog posts out this week
Including this one, which means I have 2 more to churn out. It ain’t too difficult because I have a few drafts lined up. To find the time to fine tune and publish it is another issue :(

 

I had a great time on Halloween over the weekend and hope you did too! I was dressed as a one-eyed girl who spent a good part of the night perched on the side of the bridge, a vantage point for people ghoul watching. What were you dressed as?
