Here I scribble

Netflix: It's about time Netflix added some good movies, and A Walk to Remember is definitely a good one to start with. Hoping to see some more ever-classics on there. New TV: Finally I got rid of the monitor-sized TV, and now I have a TV I can actually say is a TV. Watching Game of Thrones on this one is so fulfilling. Vacation: It was a much needed time away from work, and a real vacation this time— no travelling, no exploring, no sleep deprivation. Just eat, beach, and sleep. Relaxed week: This past week has been relatively relaxed and stress-free (a lot of people are on vacation and so there's less badgering for now ) and I couldn't be happier about it. Health: For a long time, I have had some health concerns but never been able to figure out the cause. Finally, thanks to the new doctor and bunch of tests, I have some clarity and direction. What are you thankful for today? P.S. Let's connect on  Facebook ,  Instagram ,  P...

October is my favorite month, and that makes today a happy day. What's not to love really— the beautiful weather, the fall colors, delicious food, hot beverages, cozy clothes, three paydays, Pumpkin bread, Halloween,  and also my birthday . So, as this beautiful month begins, here's a little update on this day: Feeling:  sleepy and tired.. Where's the weekend? Loving:  the progress I am making with my fitness goals— it's still slow but it's something. Reading:  nothing— too swamped these days; gotta change that— any suggestions? Wanting:  the new iPhone— 'coz Live photos! Dreaming:  that I am sleeping and dreaming.. it's like inception Having:  Banana blueberry oatmeal Waiting:  for the weekend so I can sleep. Also, for this month, I have also joined the October Blogging Challenge, where I'll be writing something every day of the month! I am kinda scared because my schedule ...

Feeling:  sleepy, and a  little  lonely Loving:   my new job, and the sunshine land Reading:   blogs, and a million little pieces Wanting:   to meet my family Dreaming: of a vacation Having:   green tea Waiting:  for long weekends- so I can fulfill my dream!

The busier life gets, more stressful it becomes. Having a lot on my plate lately, I have felt it even more. And, trying to handle all of it I decided to make a little list of things that help me to handle stress so that I can try to remember them and include them in life. And, since sharing is caring, I want to share it with you too. Take notes- Don't rely on memory. So many times I overestimate myself and think that I will remember everything later, and I have later regretted that. I have started putting things as reminders and taking notes in my planner for things I need to do. Prioritize- Take one thing at a time. This is a very important one, and probably the biggest culprit for my stress. But, now I try to put things on calendar so I have a blueprint for the day. Once you know what is more important, and you get those done, you won't feel so stressed even if you can't get to the last things on the list.. Avoid negative people-  I can't even coun...

Feeling: happy, excited, anxious, nervous, and sleepy too Loving: my new clothes, and my new bag for work Reading: blogs, and research papers too Wanting: to save so I can invite my family to come visit me  Dreaming: of life after graduation Having: breakfast- the usual eggs and oatmeal with tea Waiting: to start my new job, which is tomorrow. FINALLY!  How about you, scribblers? P.S. Let's connect on  Facebook ,  Instagram ,  Pinterest ,  Bloglovin ,  and   Twitter !

There are so many things going on in my life that, all at once, seem to demand attention from me. It is kind of stressing me out now, and the more I stress the more I want to not do any of those. Health: I have to get in a better shape and lose weight, and it needs meal planning, cooking at home, and working out of course. Job: It's a new job, and there's lot to learn, and for that I might even have to put in extra hours than usual. School: I am also finishing up my degree, which means I need to put in at least 10-12 hours each week. Blog: I really enjoy blogging, and reading other blogs, but all of it demands time. But, I just lose track of time very often while writing posts, or going through my feed, and end up spending hours. Relationships:  with me & others: A good work-life balance is important to me, and I don't want to become a person who is too busy to have some time for family, friends, or herself. Also, I need to focus on my...

(Photo: here ) They say when you procrastinate you do the things you like the most. There's a quote by Jessica Hische that says,"the work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life". When I procrastinate, I do it with: Tumblr - it is my first go to app on phone, and probably the most visited website on my laptop. Friends - thanks Netflix!  Cleaning - normally, I wouldn't go for it, but when I am dreading some other task, suddenly cleaning my room becomes very important. Food . I'm always extra hungry when I'm bored. (I should do something about this.) Doodling and writing - I get a creativity boost when I'm shooing away responsibilities.  Phone calls - usually I'm not a phone person but I start missing everyone when there are other things to be done Plan - I try to fit things in future days to make myself not feel guilty for wasting time now.  I think I can be a greatly distracted...

Anybody who knows me knows how much love I have for F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Harry Potter . It's more than love, like this obsession, so much that my friends get irritated at times. The same weekend as my Disney trip , we also took a trip to the Warner Bros. Studios. I was super-excited! Here are some pictures of one of the best days of my life. Let's first go to Central Perk  I got the black one!  Yes, I sat on that couch!  ...and now to my other love  I looked. Mine wasn't there :-(   I love you Dobby Gryffindor!! I also did send out the Bat-signal  and we ended the day with the mandatory Hollywood sign visit. What a weekend it was! When was your last trip? Where did you go? P.S.

Like everybody else, I too have made several bucket lists over last few years. Last year, I had 4 things on my list: Get a tattoo, drive on Golden Gate Bridge, go Skydiving, and visit Las Vegas. But, even after keeping the list short, I could do only half of it. I did get a tattoo and also drove on the Golden Gate Bridge which was awesome . But sadly, the rest of it couldn't happen! I might be a little late in doing this but I am making another list this year, we'll see how far we go with this one! Make this year a year of me. As far as I can remember, I have always given more importance to others- their happiness, their expectations of me. I want to change this. I want to be selfish.  Travel. Like last year, I have a few destinations in mind but I have learned that we cannot plan too much. So, I will try to travel as much as I can without making rigid expectations from this year or from people.  If someone is reading, I still have Vegas and Florida on my list. S...

As you all know, last week I moved   to a new city- which means a new but empty apartment. And there's only so much you can stuff into two suitcases. So it is going to take some time to make this into a home. It is going to be gradual, depending on each paycheck. But, right now I really miss: My camera: Thanks to baggage restrictions on flights, I had to leave my camera behind with my friend for time being. And being in a new city and also buying new things and decorating my place, I want to take pictures of everything. I guess the phone will have to do for now. Half of my wardrobe: Like I said, thanks baggage restrictions. Dresser: I like organizing things in drawers, especially the tiny stuff. I can't figure out where to put all of it till the time I find a good dresser. Bed: Sleeping on layers of comforters until my bed gets delivered sometime next week. Desk: I like to work on a writing desk, for blogging or anything else I have to do on my laptop. Also, I...

This last weekend was my big move across country. I am starting a new job soon, so new city new place. It is pretty exciting; I am thinking about home decor ALL THE TIME! I know it is going to take time set up the place and it will be one thing at a time, but I can't stop. I even made a Pinterest board for decor ideas- Check it out!  But along with all the excitement, it is also scary and overwhelming. There is SO MUCH to do. And having to do it alone, makes it even scarier. For every little thing you have to make a decision yourself, and some of those have to be quick. On top of that, unpacking is so damn hard. I am just procrastinating most of the time because I dread it. Plus I have no furniture to put my stuff in. But, slowly doing what I can. And, like every big thing, this big move also comes with some realizations: You need food and sleep. In a long list of things to do, these two tend to take a back seat. But our body has a way of reminding us their importance ...

Since I am back in the land of sunshine, I was reminiscing about the day when I was here the last time. Hanging out with friends all the time, starting on Monday to make plans for next weekend, travelling like it's the last chance to do so. I had the most fun in those six months, and I look forward to re-live some of it and make new memories. Here are some pictures from my awesome trip to Disneyland!  Like everything else, it's the people around you that make these moments special.  I am lucky to have found great friends in life! --------------------------------------------------------- P.S.
