sunday currently vol. 36

reading: still a daughter's choice. just a few more pages to go can't wait to finish it tonight.

writing: this and still that fanfiction that i've gotten nowhere with. still hoping to finish it because i think it's too funny. but i have to think of how to solve that conflict in the story and that's what's been evading me for weeeeeeeeeks.

listening to: nothing but i'm simultaneously watching a show on nhk world called hometown stories.

thinking: the life my paternal lola (grandmother) had led. this afternoon was spent with the family of lola's cousin/bff who came home from the states for a visit. shortly after having merienda (afternoon snack generally), we watched a video made for the 90th birthday of lola's cousin. it showed practically all the family photos dating from the 1870s. watching that got me thinking of my own lola's history which i learned more about back in 2000 on a trip to culion, palawan, where she spent much of her childhood. i had to ask my pa about that again going home tonight and i was able to understand it more than when i first heard it 19 years ago. won't delve too much about that here as the events are just too precious for me to write about just now. all i can say is that it's been one interesting life which explained why i grew up having to explain why i look the way i do but i'm not what i look like.

smelling: nothing

wishing: everything will fall into place. there hasn't been any formality yet but i hope the one i'm currently praying for will be set in stone whatever the outcome.

wearing: glasses, loose top and my ever-present cycling shorts. duh! lol.

loving: nothing materially speaking.

wanting: to go get that green belt. last sunday my coach sent a message to all who wanted to get promoted this coming april. of course i messaged him my intent and i was surprised that he told me to test for the green belt, which is a level above blue. blue comes after yellow which i am now. blue is good but of course aim for green! that is my battle cry until the end of april. hehehe.

needing: ten hours of uninterrupted, restful sleep every day.    

feeling: still quite exhausted after ten straight days of work. given that two of those days were during the weekend, but the thing is that i didn't get to rest properly.

thanks to siddathornton for this great idea.
