Friday Things


Hello scribblers,

How are you? How is life treating ya'll? What's going on lately?

For me, it is pretty usual- Get up in the morning, get ready for work, eat my breakfast, try to fight sleep at work, come back home and cook, watch Game of Thrones with dinner and then try to sleep early. I have been failing at that last part a lot.

I made some changes to the blog recently- I changed the header and also the default font for my blog. I also did a little tweaking in my template so now my posts titles are centered. I have to thank Dana, for her tutorials. They are really simple and easy to follow, and the small changes make a big difference. For creating the header, I used Canva. I love it- it's so easy to create images for my blog posts, icons or headers. For the fonts, I used free fonts from Google and imported them to my template. They have so many good fonts and it was so hard for me to choose. I initially had picked way too many, but thankfully they have a tool which shows the effect adding all those fonts has on the website load time and I ended up picking just three for now.

I have also started with some lifestyle changes- mostly diet changes. I am not following any of the famous diets, but I am trying to eat healthy in general and cut out junk as much as I can. One problem I face is lack of protein. I am not a vegetarian strictly, but most days I just am. I am looking for healthy protein alternatives for vegetarians so I don't have to rely so much on meat. I still need to work on my schedule to fit workout time.

I had my first roommate fight this week. No matter how hard you try, how good you try to be, these things are just inevitable, right?

I watched Avengers over the weekend- I love marvel movies!
I also finally watched that dreadful episode of Grey's Anatomy, and the even sadder one following that. I just hate it! I ended up crying for so long. Those who watch the show would understand.. I am not sure if I even wanna watch that show anymore.

Other than that, life just consists of routine, some boredom and online shopping. But, there's reading your blogs to brighten my day! I love to read your blogs, and sometimes I just miss catching up when things get busy. Sorry for that, and to make up I'll share some of cool things I found in our web world:
— This Westeros map, for the Game of Thrones peasants
— Love captured by a Korean artist
— This rational flowchart
— Lifestyle difference between New York and San Francisco
— A mug cake recipe
— Motivation to stop watching TV
— This man fighting his rapist
— What is Friend to you?
— Quadruple rainbow in New York
— Breakfast for dessert
— Super cute geeky kids
— Another reason to color
— Things your can do with embroidery

This weekend is mostly chores and hopefully sleeping in- unless something changes.
I hope you have a fun Friday and a great weekend!

    I love the coloring and the no TV thing. TV is my thing and sometimes it would be nice to escape from it.

    I have tried to that before, but TV is too addictive. :( gotta make more efforts I guess.

    Your blog looks good! I'm trying to be healthier at eating too, but no way am I depriving myself of goodies if I want them,. I've never watched Grey's it's one of those shows I wish I had started watching and now I feel like there is so many of them I'll never catch up!

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

I am thankful for

1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back.  2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others.  3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch.  4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...

There I was: a story

There I was. Standing in the midst of the hustling crowd, all excited faces around me, all waiting for a change - a new start. Some of them might want a new life, a new career, a new direction or maybe even a new love, but they all had one thing in common - all they wished was to leave behind their past full of mistakes and bad memories, a past filled with betrayals and broken hearts, a past that witnessed all disappointments and let downs. They wanted to put it all behind them, and start over new. They all needed to move on, just as this night would leave behind the darkness and turn into a beautiful canvas, with sparkles all over it, in few minutes. Yes, it's the New Year's Eve party. And I could see all eyes around me carrying that sparkle in them, ready to take risks, ready to go for another adventure, to face their fears, to dare playing with their hearts again. I was wondering what I was doing there, I had no one to be with, no one to kiss at the new year. Go...
