Hello, mabuhay! I honestly forgot that I have a scheduled post this week, not until I started drafting this post. It’s kind of a series, wrote it more than a month back, and now I’m so pressured to finish it. Lelz. Anyway, the past week has been a little productive and my weekend has been well spent. Here’s another Sunday Currently.

CURRENTLY

Reading
Nothing. :( I’ve been on a reading slump since April; it’s so sad. I’ve started three or four books since then but none of them has taken me out of that slump. Everything was put back on the DNF shelf.

Watching
I’m not binge-watching anything at the moment but I’ve been watching a lot of films. The last movies I watched were Cherry – starring my long-time-imaginary-boyfriend Tom Holland – and Friends: The Reunion.

Listening
To the sound of sirens outside. How do you differentiate police siren and ambulance siren, by the way? I may not have paid attention in person. *brb, will google.

Thinking
About what to have for lunch tomorrow. I’ve tried to cook champorado and lumpiang shanghai for the first time this week and both are a yes for me. Weee.

To be honest, I actually like cooking. I just don’t like the process before cooking – aka preparing the ingredients. I can’t cut onions properly without crying. :'( Any tip that worked for you? Everything I found on Google is a scam for me.

Smelling
Fabric conditioner from our newly washed clothes.

Wishing
To have some luck on trading this week. Please… I’m saving for something.

Hoping
For a better week.

Wow… I just realized it’ll be June next week. Half of the year is already gone. What the heck.

Wearing
My university shirt and pambahay shorts.

Loving
The shawarma I had for lunch today! I never liked shawarma when I was in the Philippines but now that I’m living in the Emirates, it’s one of my go-to foods whenever I don’t know what to eat.

Wanting
To read a good book that will take me out of the slump! I’ve been eyeing A Little Life by Hana Y. but I’m still preparing for the emotional damage it can possibly give me. I mean.. Have you read and watched the reviews? Everyone’s a mess.

Feeling
Tired. I rarely go out (don’t get fooled by my IG stories, they’re all planned), so when I do, it drains the heck out of me.

I remember talking to T earlier on our drive home.

A: J and others are inviting me for a staycation this week in Marriott.
T: Okay.
A: I don’t want to go.
T: Why?
A: Not that I don’t want to. It’s just.. my energy to socialize is already used this weekend. I have to recharge first.

And he just laughed because he knew exactly what I meant. Haha! So friends, if you’re reading this and I said no to your invite, please don’t take it personally. It’s all on me.

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you all had a great week.

Love, Amielle
