Reading | This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

Writing | Initial packing list for our transfer to our new housing!

Listening | Ready by Kodaline

Thinking | How cute Dr. K's smile was last Friday night #pabebe

Smelling | Our newly fixed air-conditioning! (Finally, after a month of suffering, maintenance guy got hold of the valve and fixed it! It feels so good to be back to my room.)

Wishing | I could be where you are now, I bet you are busy but still wherever you are, I'd like to be close.. #Krush

Hoping | I don't get pulled out to other wards this Eid Adha week (same as last week 'cos I'm serious I don't want to work in another ward)

Wearing | "Don't grow up it's a trap" tee and my purple mushroom pj bottoms

Loving | All the feels from the movie "Inside Out," I got really emotional because of Bing Bong. Watch the clip below, you guise.. and if you haven't seen it yet, please go watch it. It's Pixar's best!

Wanting | This packing to be over and done with ASAP 

Needing | A good exercise

Meh

I missed a "The Sunday Currently" post because it was my first day back to work (first day back from Eid Adha break and first day of the week in the Kingdom is Sunday) and I am pulled out to another ward. I came home knackered so I just rested a bit, took a shower and slept.

Maybe next Sunday, then. In shaa Allah.


Til next blog.

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!

Sheidz x

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.
