A Day in my Life — October Blogging Challenge Day 8


A Day in my Life — October Blogging Challenge Day 8


Today I'll take you along for a day, to show you how a day in my life looks like usually.

My alarm rings at 7:30am and another one rings 5 minutes later, and I play snooze game for about half an hour before I give up and decide to get up. The first thing I do after getting up is drink some warm water with lemon in it, and I take some good 10 minutes in doing that. It may sound very long for a glass of water, but I am actually using that time to really wake up. I cannot function if jolted out of sleep. I need slow awakening, before I can get to anything.

In the next 30-45 minutes, I get ready to head out— the usual shower, clothes, hair and little bit of makeup. I eat my breakfast at home everyday, which is usually an oatmeal or a smoothie. I make my breakfast and hop onto a daily phone meeting, while eating my breakfast. It's a short 15 minute meeting, just for updates among co-workers. After the meeting and breakfast are done at 10am, I head out to work.

I drive to work, so this is my loud music thinking time. I enjoy driving, and I enjoy music— so even when I am stuck in bad traffic sometimes, it doesn't bother me much. In fact, there are days when I am excited about the traffic because that means more music time, more me time. 

Once I get to work, first order of things is usually posting on social media if there is a blog post. Otherwise, I just get on my usual work stuff.  I take a lunch around noon— some days I meet up with friends for lunch, and some days I eat at my desk if there's too much work to catch up on. Sometimes I go workout during the lunch hour— Zumba or Yoga.

I head out from work at around 4:30, because I try to beat the peak traffic hours after that. I head to the gym for workout; it's just easier to go directly because once I come home, I get too lazy to go for workout. After gym, I rest for a bit with some Netflix before I get to cooking for dinner and sometimes next day's lunch too. This does take up more time than I would like, but then if you want to eat healthy this is something you gotta do. 

After dinner time is my time to finish up on any work left from the day, and also catch up on my blogging, writing, planning or reading. I would like to end my day just here, but I have bad addiction to my phone, and I spend quite some time on phone before I can sleep. It does affect my sleep for sure, but also I get some blog-related things done during this time, like catching up on TwitterFacebook, and Pinterest. Are we friends yet?

At the end of the day I still feel I needed to do so much more and I couldn't. 24 hours is not enough.


What does your day look like, scribblers?

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

What if ... ?

What if — an agonizing feeling that no one is spared from.  We all find ourselves in situations where we look back and think about things we  have done, things we should have done, things we should not have done, or things we should have done differently. They are not necessarily regrets, but more of questioning and second-guessing the choices we have made. I for one get this feeling a lot, and I find myself thinking about how life could have been if my choices would have been different.  What if I studied harder in school:   I would have gotten into a better college with more opportunities, which means better job and satisfaction. But, who can guarantee that would have happened- so I'd rather be happy about the other things I did and not just study all the time. What if I stayed at my old job:  I would have gotten to be roommates with my best friend for a much longer time, and would have definitely enjoyed more and I wouldn’t be stressed because of studying, assi
