reading: nothing yet although i just finished reading neverwhere by neil gaiman this morning. a review from san diego union-tribune states how it's the stuff of dreams and nightmares. i totally agree on that. it's a very descriptive book that reminds me of my own dreams and how i narrate it to my brother, much to his consternation as he got older and eventually sick of listening to my tales of my vivid dreams ('how can you remember every single detail???' he often says in disbelief). i also like the cover from the 2016 edition, which is illustrated by robert mcginnis. it's what caught my eye in the bookstore many months ago. the copy i have on hand with that particular cover was graciously lent to me by an officemate who also shares my love for fiction.

writing: oh dear me. i've been stuck in the writing rut since forever.

listening: to stone cold by demi lovato. oh my heart, how i love this song. it's the first song of demi's that i really took notice of back in 2016 because of its melody. it is described in wikipedia as a soul sentimental ballad. much like my strange affinity for the melody on let's hang on's line 'got a lot o' love between us', i love how demi sang the line 'if happy is her, i'm happy for you'. the song is just fairly new that it doesn't have a lot of versions/covers like let's hang on or else i've had created a playlist dedicated to it. i do have a favourite live version of stone cold which is the one from billboard's women in music. there is so much emotion in how demi sings it, the listener would have to have a heart of stone not to feel all that pain in the song. and let me just say that this is one of the songs in this millennium that i don't need to check out the lyrics websites for, well, the lyrics. the song is just that good, and demi slays it every single time, may it be live or recorded.

thinking: of vacations in faraway places

smelling: nothing.

wishing: on nothing.

wearing: sleepwear. duh.

loving: the song stone cold. lol.

wanting: i don't know what i want at the moment. maybe just a restful sleep.

needing: stone cold has replayed ten times already but i really have no idea what i currently need.

feeling: cold. literally. nothing to do with my current ultimate lss, thank you very much.


oh. will i end this post without sharing the video of my latest (old) favourite song? of course not. hit play!

Currently...

reading: some fanfiction i've already read last year although i've started on miss marple the complete short stories by agatha christie as well.

writing: should i even mention what i'm currently writing???

listening: to laughter in the rain by neil sedaka but in my head. been playing it on the uke earlier this evening and then on my toy piano when i got home.

thinking: of oh, so many things that my heart is in my throat.

smelling: nothing.

wishing: it were the 14th already because it means the event on the 13th will already be over.

wearing: sleepwear. duh.

loving: that my coach told me my form and flow (arnis) has improved a lot. and that's even after three consecutive saturdays of not being able to attend the training.

wanting: the 13th to be over and done with already but of course not without everyone having the time of their lives celebrating the company's anniversary.

needing: everything to fall into place and for the event to be a success. oh, and more sleep.

feeling: like my heart is in my throat about everything. ha.
