sunday currently vol. 33

welcome to the first sunday currently for this year, dear hapless reader who just happened to stumble upon this little slice of the www. 

reading: just finished reading finally london encore, book 7 of the zion covenant series. also finished reading three books by enid blyton, so thoughtfully published as an omnibus: the naughtiest girl collection featuring the first three books in the series. the naughtiest girl in the school, the naughtiest girl again, and the naughtiest girl is a monitor. as the titles suggest, it's all about the naughtiest girl you could ever meet in your lifetime. each book is published in the 1940s but the omnibus edition came out in 2012, with a colourful, quirky cover art. the cover itself as well as the titles should make for a really light read, but the stories of the other children that elizabeth allen (the naughtiest girl) encountered in her private school are quite heavy. i will dedicate another post for this as a not-so-much-as-a-review because i have a lot to say about this. ANYWAY. my actual current read is a daughter's choice by june francis. it's about a teen who discovers her true parentage and... i still have to read the rest. what i can say about this is that the plot is normal stuff in pinoy soaps. but i have to continue to see if it remains so until the end.

writing: this and... another fanfiction which hit a rut. hehehe.

listening to: songs for carmella by christina perri on spotify. i have been christina perri's fan since jar of hearts's release and a proud one. hers is a voice so natural and pure, she never needs autotune for any of her songs. i love her voice range as well. the high notes are on point and to me she hardly ever pushes for an extra high octave (don't get me started on this lol). in songs for carmella, it's just right for standard favourites rendered as lullabies. most of them are my favourites and i especially like the new song christina wrote especially for the super cute carmella, entitled you mean the whole wide world to me. it's super playful and invokes images of playgrounds teeming with kids. but that's just this listener. tonight you belong to me is another favourite of mine. i often that with my bro; he on the guitar and moi on the uke. all ten songs in the album are less than three minutes long but in addition to that, there are also sing-along versions of each. perfect for parents who love to sing to their children.

thinking: about too many things as usual. it's a miracle my head hasn't exploded after all these years. hohoho.

smelling: nothing.

wishing: on a falling star if there ever is one.

wearing: dark blue t-shirt and... the ever-present cycling shorts. nyahaha

loving: there's too much stuff going on in my brain i got no time to love anything. or even think of it. ohohoho.

wanting: to sell all my books. i tried asking a second-hand shop but they don't buy the kind of books i have. hope i can find a shop that will get all of them, because my to-read pile is... well, piling up again. no i never made any new year's resolution on not buying any book until i've read everything in my read pile. one unofficial resolution i did make is to read the rest of the books in the read pile this year.

needing: alam na ni Lord yun.  

feeling: like my heart is in my throat. or i wanna barf. because there are so many things to do this week and i just hope i'm up to the challenge.  



thanks to siddathornton for this great idea.

:)

can't believe another year has flown by just like that. and what a year that was. how surprising that i still found it to be a good year despite the major health issues and such.

it's still quiet due to the extended holiday. i am milking the dregs of the beautiful silence it brings until tomorrow's chaos deems it null.

i'm having separation anxiety. then life goes on until the next wonderful, fluffy, fuzzy Christmas holidays.

happy new year, yo.
