Windows 10

Since news of Windows 10 came out, I've been excited over this! Because 1. it's free and 2. the start up menu, the ones from earlier versions of Windows OS, will be back with this upgrade! 

YES I AM EXCITED! 

So for Windows 8 users, reserve your upgrade now (I already did *wink*). 

The Sunday Currently, No. 1

Well, hello, August!

It is a new month, and I want to try something new for this blog. Introducing.. "The Sunday Currently." I was lurking around Maine Mendoza's blog (or better known as Eat Bulaga's Yaya Dub) and saw this. I was like this is do-able. So I am doing it. Hah! Btw, this concept is by blogger Siddathornton.

CURRENTLY:

Reading | As of lately, I am subscribed to a whple lot of British YouTubers and have been watching/enjoying their videos and vlogs. One of them, Zoella, has a book called "Girl Online" and I am minutes away from finishing it. It's a light, happy read. Her second book will actually be out in a few days, I believe, and it is called "Girl Online: On Tour." Aside from that, I am also reading 2 other books.

Writing | This blogpost, and other hugot notes because I am inspired by this. Spoken word poetry ftw!

Listening | To my sister's voice because we're on vidcall! 

Thinking | THE CASE PRES THAT DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE DONE (soz, I'm yelling)

Smelling | My room's very, very hot stench because the air conditioning is not working. 

Wishing | I was back home. Naman talaga 'tong buhay OFW. #homesick

Hoping | I lose the weight I put on while I was on 2-week Eid Fitr break. 4 kilos of weight.. like whaaaat?

Wearing | My black shirt that has "#SELFIE" on it and my purple pajama pants with headphones-on-hearts print.

Loving | My weight loss progress. I seriously have exercising and avoiding rice for this week. Go, push!

Wanting | To eat junk hahaha kasi naman pag diet I think of eating bad agad hahaha

Needing | more than 24 hours a day para happy 

Feeling | productive because I exercised, I ate well (boiled squash, carrots, cucumber, spinach and baked chicken), I did my laundry and writing this blogpost.

P.S. It is ultimate crush's birthday today, so I'm putting a favorite recent photo of him here.

Til next update!

Life Update

Last update was from my 24-year old adult self, now blogging is my quarter-life-milestone version. I remember when I was around 11-12, I thought 25 was OLD. But as I age, I truly can say, that age is just a number, just a technicality (or maybe I that's how I cope? ha!). 

1. I turned 25 last 30th of June, a few days after our second Umrah since arriving in Saudi Arabia (by "our," I meant me and my cousin, Weng)

This was taken during the second part of our Umrah, I didn't take that much photos as I was having leg pain and there was just too many people, mashaAllah, and I don't want to distract them and myself as well.

Weng and I had no idea that they have huge serving size so we ended up taking most of it home for suhoor.

2. I am still single. I wanted to put it out there. Single at 25. wow. That is fascinating. I like being by myself (plus, I don't think my folks are ready) for now. Haha. But my friend, Z and I have been talking about how we want our "forever" to be like. Trust me, you don't wanna know (the list of musts is VERY long).

3. I love lettering! I have fancied writing/lettering for such a long time but I just started to actually work on it. I love it.

Obviously, I need MORE practice.

4. I fancy someone! I know I just said I am single but nothing wrong with a good-ol' crush  He's very smart and very suplado! My EMU family definitely knows who he is (hi Dingdong Dantes, you're still my MAIN crush). *wink wink*

5. Binge watching VLOGs! I love Zoe, Marcus, Jim, Tanya and the list goes on and on but British YouTubers mainly. Why am I not born a brit or just have the accent? Lels

6. I don't sleep anymore. Born panda, secretly (not a secret anymore) an owl.

7. Thoughts on hair dye? Anyone? I want to dye my hair. Grey? Purple? Blue?

8. We are transferring accomodation! The towers (that's what they call our housing units) being constructed within the location of the hospital is nearly done and I can't wait! Being near the hospital gives us a little more time for lazying around in bed, and is just so convenient when we have urgent stuff to do in the hospital (education/passport or travel issues/mini-grocery/gym/cute doctors, kidding :p)

9. I wanna travel. Who doesn't?

10. Still. Not. Losing. Weight. Help. This is truly getting old. The maximum time I get motivated is like 2 weeks and then I just go right back where I started. #fatgirlproblems

Maybe I should do a monthly 10-point life update?

P.S. I know my photos are sized differently. Sorry if it bothers you. Know that it bothers me bigtime as well.. I'll work on it soon though.

Til next update!

Eid fitr mubarak!

.. a day late where I am currently living (and most countries) but just in time for the rest of the countries celebrating it today! Eid saeed, my brothers and sisters from all over the world!

Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum (May Allaah accept it from you and us).

May our duaas, prayers and fasting be accpeted by Allah SWT. May we carry on with the good habits we have developed within the beautiful month of Ramadhan and continue on for the coming months until next Ramadhan in shaa Allah. May Allah SWT make and keep us steadfast in our prayers, may we all become the best version of our selves for His sake and may we all be united with our families and friends with Him in Jannah.

Ameen.

To My Almost

"You changed me. You are someone I try so hard to forget, but you find me. What happened between us burrows beneath my skin when I’m least expecting. You are not a footnote. You are a highlight.

And I’m finally admitting it."

Freaky Friday

I legit don't have the most exciting of days that is worthy of a "a-day-in-Sheidy's-life" post/vlog/chatter but when I do, THIS happens. 

OH MY G like yesterday was WOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH

1. Earliest to catch the bus ride home

2. MANGO MANIA

3. Naps anywhere

4. Zombie sleep

5. Airport friend finds yet another inconvenience

6. #hunna

8. #rxforlove

9. #TeamSoCal

10. Sorry for the distraction #boxesdropped

Anyway things are just too personal to share in detail so let's just keep it as is.

Friendly reminder

How many of you can say you were a robot once upon a time? I know I can! That is me inside the robot suit and with me is one of the insanely creative people who made this impressive (by the reaction of the people who came to have photo opp with the robot) suit, Ate Iris.

I tell you, guys, if we charged everyone who wanted photos with the robot, we will probably end up with a month's salary. But we didn't because it doesn't feel right. The team wanted people to be engaged once they see the robot hence getting into our booth, and indeed, we met that goal.

Thanks to the team for trusting my "robot" skills, to Ma'am Mayon for being my sub, to Ate Iris, Ate Joyce, Ate Camille, Ate Richelle--aka the robot's glam squad, and everyone else who had fun during the Global Hand Hygiene Day!

Remember, guys, safety starts with washing your hands!
