posting in my lj for posterity. so that if i wanted to look back on this point of my life, i can just go 'wtf was i going on about' lol
but anyway, life as of late
my baby boy turned one year old!!! truly how time flies. he is as active as can be and often you will find him walking/running around and then i am about a meter behind him, chasing after him. i guess this is my life now.
i started watching jdramas again!
story time: during my pregnancy and maternity leave, i would find the time to squeeze in a drama or two while the baby is asleep. or when i'm up in the middle of the night pumping breastmilk. but after i returned to work, i guess the workload got to me and i couldn't even watch anything. not that anything was of major interest to me that time either. but now i'm more well-adjusted to my new life and new roles, and i can watch jdramas again!!
on a whim, i watched kieta hatsukoi on netflix. i remember glossing over it because it was one of the first jdramas added to netflix but it didn't pique my interest enough at the time so i let it go. but i just finished watching the 5th remake of kindaichi with michieda shunsuke so i wanted to give this one a chance too.
P.S. i need new snow man friends P.P.S. are friending memes no longer a thing P.P.P.S. are intro posts a millenial thing now??? does no one read them anymore???
today was wild. i had my haircut hoping to finally have a chance to get rid of all my split ends and i come home to find out the left side of my hair is shorter than the right. so now to ease my frustration over the world i have taken the challenge to complete all baba arashi episodes in existence.
i feel like so much has happened this year. i cannot comprehend how it is october already, and in a few months it will be november. 2018 has been a whirlwind of good news, starting with my engagement (holy crap!!), to a job promotion and all other happy and positive bits in between. it's kind of funny how i never imagined my life going /this/ well, you know? if there were a way to go back in time to my 20-year-old self, who was struggling with her identity and with her academics and practically everything else, i would do it just for the sake of reassuring her that everything will turn out just fine. what a huge difference nine years can do!
i am currently in a state of content, wherein i just feel calm and happy and honestly the only thing i can wish for right now is an arashi concert ticket. but even without it, i am happy.
to anyone who's reading this, if you're in a state of doubt, sadness or confusion, please know that everything will be just fine for you soon.
i saw avengers: infinity war last night. and and and the movie just gave me a lot of feelings so i will edit this post as i unload everything. it will be all over the place as the movie left me an emotional wreck i do not know how to cope.
obvs spoilers, which i will put under a cut. so don't click if you don't want to be spoiled.
i've been sick since last saturday, which makes today the third day i am battling coughs, colds and a raging headache. it's been such a long time since i got sick i almost forgot how terrible it was to be stuck in bed, to feel blazing hot, how all my attempts to sleep will last me about 3-4 hours and how hard it is to get up to do anything. but no matter. i shall not dwell on the negatives. i have made it a point to balance any negative thoughts with a positive one. so for today:
(-) i am so fricking tired of coughing i am just ??? tired when will this end (+) my hair looks super nice today (-) although nobody is actually here to see it but (+) i caught up with all my ongoing dramas! (99.9 season 2 and todome no kiss)
so....... pretty productive day i guess. yay for me.
