CURRENTLY NO. 06

Currently No. 06 - I'm feeling like a Monet.  

READING
Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisburger. Funny story, I couldn't decide what book to read next so I asked my boyfriend to choose from my stack (I just make it sound like it's a lot but it's not, haha) of unread books. Seeing that I just read Crazy Rich Asians, he handed me this one saying, "since you're reading bimbo..." :| Thanks huhhh!!! Hehe! From the author of The Devil Wears Prada, this is a story about three best friends who vow to make extreme changes this year. It's a light chick-lit read that's (so far) more Sex and the City than Devil Wears Prada.

WRITING
The formula on when to raise your N shipment to 45kgs. :p I need to note it down some place safe once and for all. It's a pain to search for it from the IATA book/software every single time.

LISTENING
Birthday by Kings of Leon - one of my favorite songs from them!

THINKING
Of my commute route for the next few days, I'm bunking in with my mom! The long(er) ride is nothing compared to the breakfast spread, bath tub access (!), and of course, bonding with my mama! Woot woot! Really glad that she's here! Can't wait for the weekend when I get to spend quality time with her!

FEELING
Slightly hungry now. Hehe! But seriously though, there's a reason I chose that pic for this entry's cover photo. I am currently feeling like a Monet. The past few weeks saw bolder strokes (some of which were haphazard). Luckily, it has now returned to the familiar and truly comforting calm. The colors are softer, the transitions more gradual. As much as I've always thought of myself in vibrant, Matisse-ly hues, there's a time and place for everything - and right now, I'm a Monet. And I couldn't be more relieved. :)

LOVING
The progress I'm making on cooking steak! Still have a looong way to go in cooking the perfect medium rare (sear+oven), but  at least I got the proper sear today! The same can't be said for my first attempt. Hehe! Nevermind that the smoke creeped all the way to the living room, I'm getting there!!!

WANTING
An instant-solution to dryness - dry skin, dry hair. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to hydration. Or is there?! Let me know please!!!

NEEDING
A mani-pedi. :'( Three years here and I still can't get used to the prices! I'm always converting it in my head, so instead of having regular mani-pedis, it's just whenever I'm ready to say "F*ck it, I'm blowing a thousand pesos". Funny how the same cannot be said about food, haha!

WISHING
For travel plans. It's something far-fetched at the moment, but hey, that's why it's a wish. ;)

What about you, guys? How's your week so far? Any plans for the weekend? Please do share them below!
