THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 06

 CURRENTLY... 

Writing

Finally my 6th The Sunday Currently. Yey! I've been meaning to write  this entry for quite some time now and I'm glad I am now, so proud of you self.

Listening

Playing my 90's Love Songs playlist on Spotify and I'm currently listening to Passenger Seat by Stephen Speaks. One of my all time fave songs.

Thinking

About the world's current situation and wondering when will it end. Honestly, this COVID-19 and quarantine situation is killing me. I mean, I'm trying my best to amuse myself and keep my mind off it but sometimes, I just can't. How I wish this ends soon and we can all go back to normal, if not~our new normal.

Smelling

Zonrox. LOL. I just finished cleaning and disinfecting the house. And now I'm writing, wow! a very productive Sunday indeed!

Wishing

For healing and a COVID-19 free world soon. Wishing everyone a healthy and safe year ahead.

Hoping

Badly hoping and praying for a vaccine and a COVID-19 free world. And I am hoping that we all learn a thing or two from this pandemic and that we all get through this together.

Wearing

My fave mickey mouse oversized tank top.

Loving

The fact that I get to do things that I have been putting off  and I am loving the time I have to learn new things and be more productive during this quarantine.

Wanting

Aside from this quarantine to end, Oh gosh! I badly want pizza! It's been like months since the last time I had one.

Needing

I need  to find a new job. A new career rather. LOL. I haven't been teaching for a few months now.

Feeling

Optimistic. I know that we'll get through this crisis and we'll all bounce back stronger, better and wiser.

We got this people! Just stay at home, safe and healthy for now. The world will be ready and we'll see each other soonest.

xoxo
Mai

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 05

Happy Holidays guys! Oh yes, Christmas is just around the corner and it only means that it has been over a year since the last time I posted my #TheSundayCurrently, I always feel bad for not updating this blog as much as I want to but I guess I've already ran out of reasons and excuses for doing so. Again, Sorry blog.

So yeah it's here my Sunday currently.

currently..


Reading

Well, I am not sorry this time. I have been reading non-stop for a couple of months now. Good job Mai, atleast you're doing something productive aside from watching your KDRAMAs. In two months I was able to read To All the Boys I've Loved Before series, The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy by Jenny Han, I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo~just finished reading Eleanor & Park and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell  IKR. Now reading Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. I'm so proud of myself. Keep it up self!



Writing

Still working on my inconsistency when it comes to writing though. I'd hardly written anything, not even the Sunday currently. Just the 5th since I started it three years ago. Come on Mai!


Listening

Religiously listening to my OPM playlist on Spotify. So loving it.


Thinking

About so many things. I hate that I spend a lot of time in my head. I mean do I really have a choice? Can I really choose not to think? Easier said than done. Arggh!



Smelling

Fried Tinapa. Cooked fried tinapa and omellete for lunch. After three hours, the entire room still smells like it. It makes me hungry again. Gosh!



Wishing

The best for Me and Mikel. His TEKKEN dreams and my ICE-FAD dream. We can do it Baby!


Hoping

For an awesom 2019. Hoping that things will fall into place next year.



Wearing

Still in my sleep wear so obviously I haven't taken a shower yet.


Loving

The fact that I get to spare some time for my so neglected blog. Like I did something productive on a usually lazy Sunday.

Wanting

For December to come faster! I'm finally having a company Christmas party, yuhooo!


Needing

Money. A lot of money for my tuition fee. Fashion school why so expensive?



Feeling

Sleepy. Hungry. Lazy. But Happy. Positive. Inspired.

xoxo, Mai

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 04

It's been a while since I had my last #TheSundayCurrently post, I feel really bad for not updating this blog as much as I want to. I don't really have reasons, it's just that more often than not I feel sluggish and I feel like I don't really have anything to share cause nothing really exciting is happening in my life. Or maybe there are but I am just too lazy. I know. I know. I'm trying guys.

currently..

Reading
If you are reading my previous post, you knew that I have been spending most of my down time watching tv series and Kdramas--that means, I  may not have read a book since my last Sunday Currently post. Or maybe I did, I read a bit of 50 Shades of Freed then stopped halfway through cause I got destructed and yeah, lazy. I feel really guilty though about not reading a book because I am just too lazy and I am too lazy to do anything about it.

Writing
I really want to deal with my inconsistency better--whether it's about reading, sketching or writing, for this has been a constant problem for me. So now that I've got some inspiration to finally write again, I really wanted to build a strong writing habit and to do that, first--I have to be fully committed. And being committed means writing at least The Sunday currently on a weekly basis. Ok, I'll try. I'm writing my 4th now.

Listening
Dutifully listening to my student while she's reading an article. Multitasking at its finest cause time is everything and more.  Lols.

Thinking
Lunch. It's half past one and I am still here having classes. I am really starving and I can't stop thinking about food. I really can't wait to finish these classes and devour my much-anticipated lunch or whatever it is the boyfriend is cooking.

Smelling
Fried hotdogs and tuna. Obviously because the boyfriend is frying hotdogs and opened a can of tuna for lunch. Just the smell makes me even more hungry, I don't care if I'm having breakfast food for lunch (cause that's the easiest food the boyfriend can prepare) all I care is that I am fvckin' hungry--I could even eat a horse!

Wishing
Of having a work-free weekend. I just wish I could unplugged into work on weekends but I couldn't. I mean I could but I just won't. I'm crazy. I know. It’s often a pressure that I'm putting on myself, not necessarily something that I must really do. Argh, I should really work on that. I should make my weekend free time a priority.


Hoping
I just hope I could have a worry-free, nice and relaxing weekend.

Wearing
Striped tank top and comfy yellow short-shorts. I'm still in my sleep wear so obviously I haven't taken a shower yet. It's my most fave working-from-home perk. Lols.

Loving
The feeling of  having something to look forward to. I don't want to tell you guys yet cause I am still working and planning on it and I don't want to jinx it. If everything goes well, I promised, you'll be the first to know.

Wanting
To finish all these classes and give myself some free time not to think about anything, including work.

Needing
As much as I am feeling inspired right now, still-- I am  in desperate need of more inspiration--to write, read and design. So if you have a secret to inspiration that will forever keep me inspired to do the things I want to do, PLEASE do let me know. I know that some people just find lack of inspiration as an excuse for laziness (I do too) nevertheless, it's helpful to get things done, works for me all the time. Sometimes, we all need a little inspiration after all.

Feeling
I'm feeling inspired and I hope it will stay that way. So, I am really trying my best here to be consistent. I don't want to wake up the next morning extremely unmotivated again. Not again, not ever. I finally get to start writing again and I hope soon, I get to do all the things I wanted too. No more excuses. Just get them done. Pablo Picasso once said, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." it's a great creed to live by, so I gotta live with it.

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 03

Reading

Finally back in the concrete jungle but obviously, still stuck with Paper Towns. Have to make time, reading should be something I look forward to--actually, I do.

Writing

My 3rd *yey* 'The Sunday currently post'

Listening

the whirring fan behind me..

Thinking

About future plans, now that I am back into the out--I actually have to do a lot of things. Looking for a new place, planning to take a fashion class, thinking of some charity works, getting a life plan, organizing a new trip--while planning a Christmas party and an anniversary all at once. PHEW!

Smelling

Smelling Misha's fresh, sweet--milky scent. There just something about the way that new born babies smell--they smell really really good, so good that make them irresistible. Giggiiill!!!

Wishing

That everything will be ok and everything will fall into place.

Hoping

To have more classes so will have enough money to rent a new place, buy slippers for island students and to visit Daddy this Christmas with the boyfriend and fambam.

Wearing

Black tank top and a pink short-shorts.

Loving

Misha's pretty lil smiling face, tiny hands and toes--cute lil movements and sounds she makes.

Wanting

A new place. Hopefully the boyfriend and I can find a place we can call our home--our own. 

Needing

Money..lols!

Feeling

Better and fresher. Rejuvenated and I am feeling like I am more than ready to wear my cape again. I have a feeling that Super Mai will fly and save life in no time.

Have a blessed week ahead nation and hey, I am back--Super Mai is back. Welcome back to me!

dogs barking, chicken cuckling ft Ian's Britney Playlist 

Thinking

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 01

So I just promised to update this so neglected blog of mine and with that I mean, now. Oh, well hurrah! Reading YayaDub's blog really made me miss writing so I guess yeah, this is it and hoping it will stay this way for good.  

Ok, here we go. Like what I've said, I have been reading Yaya's blog since last night. I have been trying to do it for quite sometime now, or should I say since she became a constant topic both all over the cyber and real world. However, can't view the blog, thought there was something wrong with it cause the blog link on her IG bio does not seem to work. Finally last night when I tried again, it worked and that's merely the reason why I am here, kickin' my lazy *ss off to write! I call that 'The Aldub Effect', HAHA. I love them so much (who doesn't anyway?) that I have to stalk them on twitter, facebook, instagram, youtube, blogs and everything. And by stalking, I mean digging for info. *malala na toh* Lols! Never been a fan of a loveteam this much and  sorry to say, but I really don't watch much of my country's local 'serye' (drama series) cause I find them really annoying and so predictable. But Eatbulaga's so called 'kalyeserye' is a breath of fresh air. Maybe because it's funny and light and Jose, Wally and Paolo's humor never cease to amaze me. Not to mention Aldub's 'kilig feels' got me like, ohmygee-I-wanna-fallinlove-again *sorry boyfriend* haha. Oh well, going back to Yaya's blog- while reading, I came across  this post, which is called 'THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY'. It was a link up made by siddathornton and like Yaya I've also thought of joining the bandwagon because.. why not? Thought it is a good start for me to update my blog, do some real writings and have my mind off from worrying and over thinking stuff that I don't know how to handle anymore *sigh*. And besides it so happens that today is Sunday so here it is, my very first and hopefully not the last Sunday Currently post. :)

 CURRENTLY... 

Reading

Paper Towns by John Green. The story made me feel like I am living a teenage dream haha. Read a review that said the movie is thematically the same as the book, despite its many changes, wonder what changes are those.. I haven't seen the movie yet cause I am still waiting for a good copy on torrent, lols. The Fault in Our Stars got me drowned into my own pool of tears while watching it so I am quite excited how Paper Towns (movie) will get me like while watching and after I watched it. And besides I am looking forward how Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff will do justice to their characters as Margo and Quentin. Nevertheless, I love Jonh Green as much as I love Nicholas Sparks. Seriously, these two have something in common- they both write about desperate, hopeless, forbidden love and they are really good at making me cry.

Writing

My very first *and hopefully not the last* The Sunday Currently entry

Listening

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough by Charice. This is one of my favorite songs, it was originally sung by Patty Smyth and Don Henley but I must admit I am loving Charice's rendition of this song more, I just love how intense yet calm her voice sounded like here. So heartfelt and  relaxing that it can even put me to sleep. 

Thinking

You gotta be kidding me? I actually am writing this so I can somehow get my mind off thinking but then since you're asking me, fine. I am currently thinking how to spend the day without my mind thinking of a millions things. There are so many random thoughts running through my head and I don't even know to get rid of them. I feel like they'll explode anytime soon so- next.

Smelling

Indescribable smells of nuts, nips and raisins that I am munching right now. (Pasalubong the boyfriend gave me last night)

Wishing

For a miracle? Hmm, a much deserve vacation soon.

Hoping

Get to spend and enjoy my whole hard earned money on me, myself and I. No rent, bills, debts and tuitions to pay. How cool is that? One day. I hope.

Wearing

Blue tank top and a pink sporty short-shorts. My typical pambahay fave.

Loving

My lappy, my Mixed nuts/nips/raisins snack and my Spotify playlist. Keeping me company while waiting for my next class.

Wanting

To avail The Old Spaghetti House's unli pasta and pizza promo now. As in right now. Cravingsss!

Needing
Mai is badly in need of an escape plan. A great and effective one.

Feeling

Feel like I am running out of steam. I am Sleepy and stressed and burnt out and exhausted and tired. But the good thing is I am trying to fight these nega feels by entertaining positive and happy thoughts. I can do it!

Have a happy weekend y'all! I miss you. See you Sunday. 

xoxo Mai
