The Sunday Currently, No. 5

(I know I missed a couple of The Sunday Currently posts, sorry. Life lately has been sooo frustrating because 1. I DO NOT HAVE MY ROUNDTRIP TICKETS YET and 2. MY INTERNET IS THE WORST SINCE TRANSFERRING TO THE NEW ACCOMMODATION. Soz for all caps, I'm just really upset.)

CURRENTLY:

Reading | A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) – George R.R. Martin (eeeek! currently stuck I haven't even scrolled down the next page since my last bookmark--and yes, I am reading it on my laptop)

Writing | I want to share my Dubai trip but I have no idea how to

Listening | Locked Away by R. City ft Adam Levine *hearts*

Thinking | my Pinas bakasyon! One of the perks of working here in Saudi Arabia is the yearly roundtrip tickets home. It has been working smoothly for the past years until very recently. Usually, you book tickets, have your direct supervisor approve your leave, wait for the purchase order and you are granted the "golden ticket." That is not the story as of lately. I do not have a ticket yet even though my flight's in about 3 weeks.

Smelling | Nutella on my hands!

Wishing | THAT ROUNDTRIP TICKET TO THE PHILIPPINES, PLEASE

Hoping | Yep, that ticket is all I really want right now

Wearing | My USA flag printed shirt and comfy PJ bottoms

Loving | everything but that ticket issue and oh, one more thing: my internet speed since transferring to the new accommodation. I haven't been able to do anything! 

Wanting | STILL THAT TICKET

Needing | A PRINTED COPY OF MY ROUNDTRIP TICKET

Feeling | uwing-uwi na ako!

Things That Make Me Happy: Intro

(This blog went on an unofficial and unexpected hiatus, I'll write about it in my next post.)

A few days ago, I've decided that my main pursuit in life is to be happy. Last year, I joined the #100happydays challenge where I discovered that there is, indeed, joy in every little thing; that no matter how busy it gets, it is important to take a moment to breathe and appreciate the world as it is. So, let me try this on my blog as well. I'd post every now and then about things that make me happy. 

You're most welcome to share yours!

A Mini Review: Inside Out

I'm probably the last person to recommend an animated film because it's not usually my cup of tea, although I have a few favorites (Up, The Book of Life, Tangled, Frozen, Big Hero 6).. But I just cannot let you not know about this film. You might have seen countless of posts related to this movie popping in and out on your social medias because it is sooooo good, and yes, it's been a couple of days since I have first watched it but I am still affected. Well played, Pixar.. well played.

(Left to right: Fear, Sadness, Joy, Disgust and Anger)

This animated film features the different emotions that live inside Riley's head, (and/or brain,) the "headquarters," -- Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. As Riley grows, so as her collection of memory spheres that gets stored, and then, there are these so-called "core memories" (like the very first time she opened her eyes to the world and sees her parents, the first time she scored a goal playing hockey with her dad and a lot more) which are significant memories/achievements that eventually develop her personality. The conflict comes in when Riley's family moves to another city because of her dad's work as it stressed Riley and her emotions.. and something happens with all those "core memories."  

The movie will take you down memory lane, well, that's the case for me. It took me back to my childhood/pre-teen years and all these internal conflicts that I struggled with (still struggling with). And there was this part, I have no recollection of it whatsoever (but maybe I did have/go through), that just tugged at my already vulnerable heart strings. 

No spoilers on here (just don't read "The Sunday Currently" post before this review). I'll just leave it at that. 

So if you haven't seen it, go watch it. You will never regret it!

(Me: lights off, grabs a bag of M&M's, rewatches Inside Out, probably bawl my eyes out in a bit #shameless)
