before i proceed to my currents...

happy new year!

yep. don't care if it's five days into the new year. it's still relatively new, so there.
talagang nagpaliwanag pa eh, noh.
all right, moving on to the topic at hand.

Currently...

reading: just finished the girl who chased the moon by sarah addison allen. it's the last book i bought last year and the first one i read this year. it's also the first book by ms. allen that i've read and i say that the story felt very much like the warmest, most welcoming hug i've ever received. the story kept me stuck on the couch all day yesterday, that's how good the story was. i was riveted by the protagonists' parallel stories which intertwine at some points. but if i were to choose a favourite character, it would be julia winterson. not just because she bakes the most delectable cakes, but because her personality is just so raw and real. her storyline somewhat shows a bit of hallmarky elements without being all-out hallmarky. the magical realism in it is a joy to read as it's not too forced. ms. allen's imagery also teases all the senses. one can practically catch a whiff of barbecue in the air and taste julia's cakes, to name a few. there's just something lyrical in how ms. allen wrote the book.

writing: none. have already done my yearend chorva. my two stories have been stewing in the back burner for almost a year now and they'll remain there until i get my creative writing mojo back. boo-hoo.

listening: to desperado, originally sung by the eagles. and also sung by kristin chenoweth. by susan wong. by diana krall. by linda ronstadt. by karen carpenter. isn't it obvious that i've discovered my very first LSS for the year??? frankie valli's let's hang on now has another companion in my top LSS list.

thinking: of sleep

smelling: nothing.

wishing: for nice dreams. and for my other wish to come true this year.

wearing: sleep wear because oh, it's bedtime. duhhh

loving: my pillowcases. they're made of some kind of cottony material that makes my pillows feel fluffier and more huggable.

wanting: to sleep... heheheh

needing: more sleep.

feeling: okay
