Cherry blossoms and whatnots

-

 


The anticipation was worth it. Every single day, I would ask my husband to check out the trees at the park when he goes back home from work. And finally yesterday, they are in full bloom. There was no one at the park, so we enjoyed these ourselves. I wondered, and asked my husband, "am I the only one who is looking forward to see them, anticipating the bloom each day? No one is here!" Or maybe it was a weekday anyway. I am sure this weekend will be packed to enjoy the full bloom, just like last year. We won't be here for that as we will be visiting my husband's family and spend Easter with them. I look forward to egg hunting and some balade digestif (if I am not mistaken). His family loves to walk a lot after a big lunch. It's enjoyable.

It's been a while since I wrote here. The older I get, the more I don't have the time to really sit with my thoughts and pouring out everything into a while blank digital "paper". I am glad to have that tonight.

My life's been busy so much, or maybe I am just too preoccupied with mundane things. Recently, I wonder, am I really doing things that matter in my life? I feel that I am not in the right work environment. Maybe I am burn out? I need inspiration from leaders and people who I am supposed to look up to lately. Surely, I am not the only one who feels this? I hope not... and if that's true for you, I hope we both will find a better mission in this life. Life's better after 6pm, so all's good. 

Currently, the gas prices per liter has gone up crazily. As per my husband, jokingly he said, "Soon we will have to sell the car to get gas!" What kind of world are we living in? Can we go back to how it was... before? I don't even know which year though. It feels like 2019 was the last okay-ish year? Technology has changed a lot since then. I miss the simpler life where we do not really allow it to control our lives and the way we live as a society. On the other hand, my husband and I are addicted to playing Overcooked 2 lately. It's a great game!

Anyway, I hope we get through this alive and better! Enjoy your spring days ahead!

Remembering how it feels to write random thoughts

-
We went for a walk in the neighbourhood after lunch today. The flowers are blooming everywhere, it is so beautiful in Spring. During our walk, I told my husband that we go to Picard to get some frozen goods and he thought to get ice cream too. I am sure that we have ice cream in the fridge but my husband kept insisting that Picard's ice cream is still better. He is really craving for it! I don't remember how it tasted like to be honest but I trust his judgment when it comes to food. Unfortunately, the shop is closed (it's a public holiday - no one is working today - what were we thinking!) so we will go next time. Anyway, going back home, my husband took a small elderberry flower for me that I can put in my small vase. The house smells good, but he doesn't smell it.  I do not know where this blog entry is going... I just miss writing! It just feels much better to write whatever is in my mind. I've been consuming a lot of quick small content that in the end probably ...

Another Golden Summertime

Summer has been great so far although the heat wave two weeks ago was awful - it was only 4 days of staying more indoors than enjoying the sun. And while tomorrow may be another 30-something, I do enjoy the presence of more sun and daylight. So I am enjoying this season a bit more outdoors so I can hold on to something when Winter comes back in a few months. There's a lot of places I'd like to visit, but something in me (and my husband - probably because we did not plan a trip anyway) wants to stay in our home. Visiting Paris on weekends is enjoyable somehow. As they say, it's the perfect time to visit Paris because the Parisians are out - but I'm not sure about that. The last time, there were lots of tourists in the city and in the metro... I'm not complaining cos I still see myself as a tourist here too! So anyway, we visited the Conciergerie last weekend and spent sometime around the city after that. The visit was good; the country's history is really interes...

Life will always be confusing

-
At 20, I thought that life will be easier to live; that I have experienced enough to face problems on my own. I thought all my choices are going to be all right. I thought that I can do everything I want because I am technically not a teenager anymore; no one could stop me from all my choices . So I spent days outside the city mostly, going to other places within the region, going to friends' houses and eat/drink a lot, many nights were spent at the beach and many days ended up not able to talk because I drank too much alcohol. It was fun. Everything were all  I ever wanted. I planned summer outings and even regular days and nights whenever there are no classes or there's a holiday. I enjoyed everything I did. I loved every single bit of it . It was perfect. At 21, I admit that I was undecided but just fine. I was puzzled and suddenly I became focused on other things. It was a year of realizations for me. Realizations on life in general and then going through each bit of ...
