Abandoned meetings and the overall hangover mood of Monday mornings
Here's the thing: I had a fabulous weekend. By 'fabulous' I meant that I did everything I wanted to do and still managed to relax and forget about real life (i.e. work and other shite) for 48 hours. I ate well, went shopping (and lost money to retailers) and even got my hair done. I also enjoyed the return of my favorite TV shows and just had fun ( Read more... ) -
Whaling and wallowing
So this past weekend I spent a lot of time learning about whaling, in between bouts of wallowing over the state of the world, and well, it was quite productive.
In The Heart Of The Sea looks like a great whale movie that I might not see. (Just reading the description about future Spider-Man Tom Holland's time spent inside a fake whale head covered ( Read more... ) -
Last days of deadline
I wish my deadline would be over already. I thought it would be over last week. Then it got extended to Friday. Then to Monday. And yesterday they decided it would be extended to today. My response to that is to sigh indefinitely and lament the way we all work ( Read more... ) -
It all ends in space
Hello.
Today was a sucky day because of a few reasons:- Gojek's app decided to be an a$s for half the day, causing me to lose a good portion of time I could use to be productive. All I wanted to do was hire a courier to get 3 damn copies of my magazine to my house. When it finally worked, it took the courier 80 minutes to get the thing done!
- And ( Read more... )

Summer is not the only season
So much for forgetting to blog for almost the entire month of August because I got busy with work. Back in March or April, I'd already felt somewhat overwhelmed by the prospect of the then upcoming summer movie season because I just knew we were on a tight publishing schedule: publishing a monthly magazine before those summer blockbusters come out ( Read more... ) -
Red alert!
Early this morning - at around 3 AM - I received a terrible horrible no good very bad news: arancia became a victim of a purse-snatching theft in the middle of the roadShe was going home with her boyfriend on a motorbike from watching a movie in the Senayan area and they went home via Hangtuah, which is a very familiar route for her to go home. She must ( Read more... ) -
Things that happened on 11 August 2015: Floptastic Four
So of all the summer movies that I've watched, Fox's Fantastic Four was the:
A. Most pointless ever.
B. Most controversial ever.
C. WORST EVER.
I can't believe this version was even worse than The Rise Of Silver Surfer, which - now I think about it - is actually kind of okay. Sure, it's ridiculous and childish and wacky and very family-oriented, ( Read more... ) -
The most miserable week in the history of July 2015
Why is it when I've committed myself to write more often in all of my blogs suddenly things happen that prevent me from doing so?
Magazine deadline aside (which really took up my time last weekend and for the first half of this week), there are also things like wonky internet connection problems and family shenanigans that absolutely came out of ( Read more... ) -
I want this feeling to end
This week has not really been a stellar week. Other than this, I still have the deadline (try getting people to turn their work in on time and it's a huge massive FAIL) and none of my articles want to write themselves (so I'm one of the people I'm complaining about to myself this month). So annoyingThe good news is, my grandmother is on the mend. ( Read more... ) -
Fasting, interrupted
At precisely 5 PM today, less than an hour from Maghrib, I went to the toilet and discovered that I got my period. So, the entire day of fasting was wasted... sighIt happens. This is far from the first time that I had to stop fasting because of my period. But it's still annoying that you're so close to the day's victory - one full day of fasting - ( Read more... )
