You guys, I am not dead yet! In case you are wondering, I have been busy. Gosh, those are two of the most overused sentences in the blogging world. I am sorry for that. Not writing much makes me a dumb writer.
Highlights
I celebrated my birthday doing overtime at work, which was against my life rules: not working on birthdays and never doing overtime in general, but it was still a fabulous day. I was treated to McDonald’s breakfast, which I had been craving for months and greeted by a huge bouquet on my office desk. I also celebrated my birthday on the weekend with my people. I plan to write a separate post about it like last year; I hope to stick with that plan! If something were lacking on this birthday, it would be a balloon and a picture of me with a cake; a good view of me with a cake, to be exact.
Work has been crazy. I usually come home to take two showers in between sleep. I practically live my entire life at work. Hence, only two posts for this month. I do have weekends, but I prefer to meet the little people made by my cousins, who are all extremely adorable, especially the littlest one, Kiwi. She has been my steady date for months now.
Also, I killed a fly, which was the office’s pet. We have a fly who resides in our office building. It only came out in the evening, usually after 7 PM and hung out with us until as long as we were there. Usually, I ignored it, and it would go and bother another colleague. On an unfortunate night recently, I was the only one at our table when it came out to play. I was on double doses of bitchiness that day because I was feeling sick or had just recovered from being sick. I couldn’t remember. So when the damn fly kept nginginginginging around me, even after I sush-ed away a few times, I half-heartedly smacked it with a stack of paper in my hand. It died immediately. There was no witness, and I will never tell my teammates who have a weird fondness for the fly, who shall be called the late Rita Skeeter from now on.
Found and Love
I got a watermelon candle as a just-because gift, ate a plate of extremely spicy fried rice called MAFIA and frequented 1/15 coffee shop.
I retired my Samsung NX3000. Unlike me, I am pretty loyal to the camera (I still have the pocket one from 2011) because 1. I don’t know how to use a fancy camera, and 2. I don’t notice the difference in the pictures taken with different cameras.
I liked the camera, but no one else did. In short, it has heard a lot of complaining voices. I own a camera so that people can take pictures of ME. If they don’t feel like doing it because they don’t like the camera, I am missing the main point of having one, aren’t I? So I sold it at half the price, only after 18 months, you guys! The guilt kept me awake for two nights. Now that I am in the market for a new camera, I want to ask you what camera you use. Do you like it? Is it easy to navigate for someone lacking basic photography skills or unwilling to learn? Does it come in pink colour? I would love to hear your recommendations. Please help me!
I am addicted to Activewear parody/song/video. I listen to it at least multiple times a day. I relate to it because I have bought at least four pairs of activewear since I joined the gym, even though I have only been there thrice this month. Well, at least I run a marathon. Yep, that happened! I got proof: a Music Run medal, which I proudly hang on my mirror, ignoring that whoever passed by the finish line got it, even if they were crossing the road, got it. I truly enjoyed it and plan to join next year’s event, probably in another city.
Look at me, being all healthy-ish! I even keep cold-press juice bottles in the office fridge these days. I drink them between the copious intake of bubble tea and iced chocolate chip coffee, but still!
Read, Watched, and Browsed
Also, I believe weekends are reserved for low-brainpower activities like TV watching. And the fall TV series are just awesome: SCANDAL, How To Get Away From A Murder, Grey’s Anatomy Season 12, Mindy Project, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Downton Abbey, The Empire, Law and Order SVU, South Park, Nashville, CSI, CSI Cyber, another CSI, Castle, and Scorpion, to name a few. Gulp, I watch way too much TV. Maybe I do have time to write after all.
Other than those major news, I have been listening to various podcasts as that’s the only thing that could wake me up every morning. I also have been catching up with reading, the last book I read was another Chelsea Handler.
The reading list for the rest of this year includes Modern Romance, Furiously Happy, Binge, and Why Not Me. Are you interested in reading any of these books? Shall we exchange witty tweets about them in between? It will be like attending a book club but way cooler and easier.

Thank You, Next!
September might not be my finest month this year, but at least I am on the right track, I think. Thanks for reading, people. It makes me happy to see a healthy number of visitors to this blog despite the lack of updates recently. I will try to post more than two times in October. Mwah!
