After an action-packed weekend, I've spent my Sunday night in my sweats drinking ginger tea trying to keep warm. It's wonderful to unwind. But now it is time to head on over to bed so I can tackle this coming week. Hope you've all had a nice weekend <3
PS. my bangs have grown out~ yayyyyyyyyyyy. took only eight months.
Well not really, but I've been in my 80s music mood this past week. I don't know how it happens...these random feelings sweep over and then I get sucked into a particular "mode." Nostalgic feelings. I think it happens to me whenever I'm in a transition period - when I know change is on its way. When that happens, I fall back to something from the past that is comforting. ANYWAY. Been a hectic two weeks with lots of things happening - fun and not so fun. Work is interesting but I'm not where I want to be. It's not challenging me creatively. It's a fairly dull environment. I am in front of the computer from the time I get there till the time I leave. I hardly talk to anyone except when I ask how everyone's weekend was. I want to gain experience though, which is why I'm glad I got this job. I want to learn everything and then move on. I want to experience this so I know if I should go back to school for a masters or if I should go in another direction. I feel like if I stay here for too long it will stunt my creative growth. I know I wanna be where things are happening...where experimentation is taking place...where new technology is used....where things are more "cutting edge." I think I miss the studio environment where you discover things and push yourself while collaborating and receiving input from others. Here everything is static....same old apartment buildings.
Outside of work I've been hanging out with friends like always. A couple of friends and I have made Wednesday nights the time when we get together to eat ramen and discuss the troubles in our lives right after work. We call our group the "Little Tokyo Round-up." It's strangely comforting ~
I went to a Halloween party last weekend thrown by a friend. I wore my Indian sari and managed to pull it off although I wrapped the sari very incorrectly where it became difficult to walk around. I was either jumping or wobbling around. Luckily, people were very helpful ~
During the actual day of Halloween I helped pass out candy to little kiddies and then went barhopping around Silverlake with friends. This time I was dressed as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction. Got lots of high-fives throughout the night for this one.
Now I'm gonna go and prepare my lunch for tomorrow - brbbbbbb~
Have a good week guys ~
I am not a morning person. When I don't have work I get out of bed whenever I feel awake enough...which is usually late. So when my friends asked me to go on an early morning hike over the weekend, I thought I must have hit my head somewhere to have agreed on tagging along. It didn't help that I went to bed at 4 am the night before. Anyway.
I ended up joining them with the help of a miracle and we completed a very uphill 6 mile hike with no problems. It was refreshing. I have, however, been walking around the office like a penguin due to the muscle aches that followed.
I've been overflowing with nostalgic feelings and at first I welcomed them because it was fun but it's become quite overwhelming. I think it's the changing of the seasons that kicks these feelings into motion. I don't know how to explain it so I'll share some photos from over the weekend instead. Had a packed weekend with friends and with plenty of strange moments. Highlights were going to the Korean Spa (we shared a table with the dude that played Eric Forman), tea shopping in Chinatown, and eating ramen in Little Tokyo. Sunday night was a mini reunion with old friends. It was nice - we are planning a camping trip for February~ Overall, a memorable weekend.
