09.04.2026 - Everytime i revisit this album, i feel reborn
Little Simz - SIMBI06.04.2026 - Deep cleaned my room; it had been in a critical state since the exam period started.I also completed practice problems from past physics exams and watched The Scent of Green Papaya.
01.04.2026 - Applied to a part time position at the local inn, watched Sentimental Value.
26.03.2026 - I have been experiencing terrible brain fog lately; I suspect it's because of my disturbed sleep schedule. This semester I have many late classes. Adding in my commute time, I arrive home when it is so dark I can see the stars. When i'm home I still have multiple tasks to do, not to mention eating and showering. By the time i've completed everything , it is already 1:00am. Unfortunately i'm not a night owl. I function much much better in the early mornings but lately i've just been waking up so late , sleeping right past my most productive time of the day.
I'm currently at a point where I can't try to fix my sleep schedule because finals are coming up and I have a lot of work to do but I seriously cannot wait for this semester to end , so that I can re stabilize my life. I have come to realize that the quality of my life highly depends on my sleep routine. It's quite obvious, but I needed this reminder. Moving forward I will try my best to rearrange my schedule in a way that I dont have to take evening classes.
20.03.2026 - Gloomy and snowy eid, i ended up going to work since my family is celebrating tomorrow, also bought some ingredients to make tiramisu.
17.03.2026 - Attended a Torlonia collection exhibition, to take some photos with my film camera. The marbles of ancient Rome are so beautifully carved with great details making them the perfect muse for photography. It's like shooting portrait without having to worry about the subject staying still.
15.03.2026 - As the moon is rapidly returning to its thinnest crescent form, ramadan is coming to an end
10.03.2026 - In the bus a narrow sunbeam found its way trough the window and settled on my book, as if it too wanted to read, it lightened the pages only for an instant but it’s in brief moments like this that i feel how little is required for happiness
Later, I'm going to the cinema with my cousin for a screening of Marty Supreme. I've already seen the film once, but the movie selection at our theater has been pretty mediocre these days , so i will rewatch it with him.
20.02.2026 - I've seriously been slacking on schoolwork the past few days, even though exams are coming up so soon, i want to try to study at least 12h troughout this weekend. I will feel accomplished if i can reach that goal.
13.02.2026 - When im bored at work, i like to flip trough food magazines and note down the recipes i want to try, i have collected so many little pieces of paper in the pockets of my work jacket.I should really organize them into a catalog soon.
11.02.2026 - Started reading The life of the bee by Maurice Maeterlinck
10.02.2026 - Studying for exams, also started watching mushishi
04.02.2026 - My favourite teacher to this day remains Madame Edith from third grade. I vividly remember one day during lunch period while everyone was in the cafeteria me and my closest friend at the time went up to her class to look at the chicken eggs in the incubator because we couldn't wait to see the last ones hatch. I remember making silly jokes about the way the little newlyborn chicks were moving and we were laughing uncontrollably. I don't have a lot of memories from that period of my life, but the majority of the ones I have are filled with laughter.
03.02.2026 - lost my pencil case
30.01.2026 - Carpooled with P for the first time, he was friendly and easygoing. I was happy to find out that he was doing his doctoral studies in neuroscience,so I told him about my plans of switching majors. Hearing about his experience was insightful and reassuring. He also let me pet his cat ,Eden, who was resting on the passenger seat — a shy little cat with beautiful green eyes that kind of reminded me of Miza. My shift went by really fast probably because i was too tired and my mind kept wandering.
28.01.2026 - This morning I finally made use of the gym membership that I signed up for two weeks ago. My body feels sore, my legs and hips from running and my shoulders from carrying such heavy bags. I had not run in months. I can already feel that I will be sleeping well tonight. On my way home after class, I started reading Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. I've been wanting to read it for a while. I thought today would be a good time to do so, hoping it will inspire me to run more consistently.
26.01.2026 - It snowed all trough the night and the entirety of the day, whenever i had the chance to look out the window, I could see the flurries of snow rushing from the sky to the ground, such a beautiful sight.
While waiting at the bus stop, I saw a young woman using a flip phone, which immediately made me want to spark a conversation. She was very sweet and elegantly dressed in a vintage orange coat. We ended up conversing during my whole bus ride. We talked about the experience of using dumbphones, our favourite books and hobbies. the conversation was so interesting that I purposely got off two stops after the one I was supposed to by fear of interrupting her train of thought. I did have to walk 10 extra minutes but it was well worth it. She made me reminisce on two years ago when i was using a flip phone, perhaps i will go back to it. When you really think about it, the clarity of mind that it provides very much outweighs its inconveniences.
19.01.2026 - My first day as a first level ESL co-teacher, I was a bit nervous knowing that i would be teaching students who were much older than me, which is different from what i'm used to but in the end, everything went well, the students seemed motivated and I also have a lovely co-teacher, L. She is an exchange student from Germany. I look forward to teaching more classes!
