2026, in search of Happiness. If it means enjoying every little trinkets and stationery on the daily, then so be it. Coz temporary happiness, is still happiness.
I mean, I shared di IG plang sudah. eheh but the sharing on this blog must continue~~
I don't think I was in dillema for September's theme; I did some research, nothing was catching my eyes. and when Amanda's posted her video, I thought, yeah, let's recreate her September theme.
it's easy and soooo me! I mean, I grew up in the era when internet was just starting so this theme is a tad bit nostalgic.
put my own little twist to it, with my picture. coz September IS my birth month. and color scheme is love 💜💜💜
I started this page last month.
Data Balance. I mean, look at the amount of time I spent on the internet! 😅
I think it's a good addition.
oh I should mention, its been a year since I started this BuJo theme thing! yay! can't believe I have been doing this for a year. as in, a year doing a cover theme for the month. I used to just write words and paste some pictures whenever necessary.
One good thing doing this? Helps finishing my countless number of unused journals/notebooks. When starting this, I have used two journals/notebooks. 😝
Glad this one finished in the first few days of August, unlike my July's. I actually search for ideas a week before July ends. coz I don't want what happened in July, happened again in August.
I came across two themes on youtube that I thought would be easy for me to follow or recreate;
1. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. by Temi Danso Art
I feel like this one is noice. Umbrella and tri-color. also FRIENDS.
2. Kites by SheDoodles
this one terlalu simple. I mean, just drew kites. but the color a bit dull? I know I can change them to fit my feel.
I keep going back and forth with this two themes. I wanted to start the 'base' even before August started but I keep putting it off. I guess I was waiting for Amanda's theme.
3. Studio Ghibli by AmandaRachLee
I mean, I'm no artist. I can try but I also don't want to stress about it. and also, if you read too much into her videos, I can't really relate. I don't grow up with Ghibli's movies. I only started watching them last year with Spirited Away and I was 31. So, no. I can't relate. it's still a beautiful theme and I wish I have the guts to pursue recreating it but no.
that was when I decided to go with the Umbrella theme by Temi. I tried to 'fully' recreate her theme but like I mentioned, I don't want to stress so I improvised. It'd still be umbrella and I enjoy her color scheme too. I just have to change it up a little. also, Brunei is in rainy season now. it's fitting.
look how vibrant! I start preparing on the night of 4th Aug and began to finish them on the 5th Aug.
I even made a little video. which I hope I can share here. (plis internet, be good).
I tried to video my July theme as well but I made a huge mistake with that one. so I discarded them. not gonna dwell too much on that mistake and move on.
Can you believe that its already August? you would think the pandemic slowed down the time. I guess not.
Hope everything is well with you and your family. stay healthy and safe, everyone.
Have you ever been SOOOOOOOOOOOO lazy that you couldn't even bother to do shit?
Well, I have.
For context, I am currently doing so many things; running 2 jobs, trying to read, trying to update my diary/journal, and trying to sleep at least 6 hours every night. and some times, when I was too tired, I skipped the reading and journal updating and focus on finishing my dinner before I go to bed. During this too-tired episode, I usually become super lazy. Like, super. I usually eat in front of my laptop so before I start eating, i usually browse thru my hard disk, trying to pick a movie to watch. Yes, a movie.
Image Not Mine
I hear one of you said, "baik plang ko liat movie cDO tu". and my respond to that is, "malas ku make an effort. I don't have the enegry kan baca subtitle".
Yup. You read that right, 'don't have the energy kan baca subtitle'.
I don't know about you but watching any non-malay or non-english movies or drama requires a lot of effoft; liat screen, baca subs, liat pinggan ku, suap makanan ke mulut ku, liat screen lagi, baca subs, liat pinggan, ARGH! no. I'm not a slow reader by any means but I just can't. My brain already too tired and I already decided I'm gona be lazy, I'll just pick a movie yg aku sudah pernah liat saja, ok?
but seriously, I much rather watch movie balik2 than having to watch a new one when I'm feeling lazy. coz to me, watching new movie/drama requires focus. Actually, the same goes to all malay/English movies/drama. i don't know. thats just me. I prefer to concentrate on the new ones. kalau movie/drama lama, I don't mind missing a few subs/or scenes coz I already know the story. I don't have to constantly rewinding a scene when I missed it. you know? Here's to name a few movies that I watch on repeat all the time (that I can actually recite them in my sleep);
... to name a few.
I'm sure I can't be the only one with this kind of lazy.
frying pan!! or dalam bahasa Brunei nya, parimpan. hahaha and I have never wanted to hit someone in the head with a frying pan before. until this movie. I watched this new movie Pan at our local cinema, starring Hugh Jackman who played Blackbeard.
It's a story about the beginning of Peter Pan. before that story where he met Wendy. I wasn't expecting much when I watch Pan, so I find it very interesting and touchy, especially towards the end. but it isn't about the movie that I decided to make a post of this it was actually about some very offensive actions that some mother and daughter did that made me post this; not even half thru the movie, these two people stood up and after that changed to the empty seats in front of their previous seats (we sat at the top most seat (Row A), basically the best seats and they changed to seat (Row B) ). and noticing their action, suddenly i was conscious. It was the mother (who sat next to me) who stood up first and I saw they contemplated for a minute than took the row B seats. then Zawir was like, "Pindah duduk durang ah" and I said "Yeah" and remember feeling really offended and embarrassed. Earlier before the movie, me and Zawir had our dinner at Burger King and our burgers had onion rings in it. So, I was thinking, was it my breath? was it stinking too much for the mother to move seat? or was it my quiet laughter? yes, i have learned to control my 'barking' laugh to a quiet, shy laugh when I'm in the cinema. Although I still enjoy the movie and was really into it, every time I cast my eyes to those two beings, it made me wonder what i did wrong? I even almost confronted them when the movie ended! like, i was that embarrassed and did not appreciate their offensive manner! But after that, as we walked out of the cinema, I thought, it's not me. it's just that mother being 'annoyed' with me somehow. She's the one with the problem, not me. If I stink, I am sorry. If i laugh too much or giggle at every little bit (coz I'm probably some crazy nutter who cannot control my imagination), I am not sorry for that. Coz, lets face it 'mother' of someone. if you want peace and quiet while watching a movie in a public cinema, I suggest, you don't. I suggest, it is better for you to watch them at home. later, when the HD version of the movie is release in DVD format, yeah? Because what you did was very offensive. and no manner. I know I am to blame if i have bad breath but if its because of my laughing, that's just..go home, woman! . . . a/n: I could go on about how maybe she had some OCD and I shouldn't be saying things about her but still, I have never been so humiliated in public! and I am sure to go on about this again when I'm reminded of it. #MannersIsForAll . . .
Coz I am jobless and hating my job (plus a certain someone) to death (╹◡╹)凸
I am making myself busy by trying to memorize this song by the end of this week.
This song was supposed to be easy because it has so much English that I don't understand why is it not in English saja? щ（ﾟДﾟщ）
But it's not easy. I'm always off key during the chorus (not saying I wasn't during any other part of the song; it's just I am more off-key-err during the chorus). and I really don't know how I else I should do it.
I only just realize that I actually have the minus one (meaning the karaoke version or on the official Track List says 'Close To Me (Inst)' Inst being instrument only) version of this song! Now I can record myself (as I usually do when I'm "memorizing" a song) and pretended that I'm in some kind of a studio, recording my new single (n˘v˘•)¬ Currently I've recorded two and I'm not very happy with the outcome.
Practice makes perfect they said.
But I say, lets just give it a rest for tonight and try again ...say, next month.
ahahahaha
So for now, enjoy.
Here's the romanized lyrics for you to read.
Let's memorize together! xD
Sitting alone kabe ni motare reminiscing
Taiyo falling thru kigi no suki ma kara
Now I'm so sorry Konnanimo afure teru
Amai kaori ni
kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you
Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
you're always here with me Ima, ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
Now I'm getting you close to me
Mayoikonda koneko no yo It's embarrassing
Kako mo, ima mo, mirai everyday
I'm looking at pictures and know you and then donna ni datte
Aoku tada so clear
Kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you
Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
You're always here with me imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
now I'm getting you close to me
You are the sin, you are the light
You are in my perfect picture, here I am
mo hitostu can I ask
Oh am I getting too close
I just want you to stay zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
you're always here with mr imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
and now I'm getting you close to me (close to me)
oh I'll be next to you now I'm getting you close to me
Here's also the live version
I have a love/hate thing with this live version. i hate it coz she used too much nostril voice. I love it coz towards the end when she builds up the song, it's her awesome live voice that made me love her so much! but no matter, you gotta respect BoA for getting where she is now. I know she deserves it. I'm not really a 'constant' fan of hers but from where I've been following her up until now, I've seen her hard work and versatility. I just hope she will stop trying so hard to break it into the US (as in becoming English). She is great where she is now, she should focus on that. I'm not saying she shouldn't try at all. I'm saying stop 'trying too hard' and lose focus. that's all I'm saying. Remember her Make Your Move movie? BoA was the female lead and at one point the movie was just trying so hard to make this Aya's character 'awesome' like she can switch languages without trouble; speaking Japanese to her friend and then spoke Korean with her brother in the same conversation. It's just, maybe not the best way to sell a movie? I don't know. Critical Analyzing maybe one of the Sept characteristics but Music/Movie business isn't really my forte so, imma shut dap now. Maybe I should try and stay focus instead~(◠﹏⊙✿) . . .
Reading is always fun. been reading a few more in recent weeks.
but somehow I was more in hurry of finishing the current books that i haven't read than actually just enjoy reading. Oh, I do enjoyed them books that I have read, of course. it's just feel like I have to rush it. No one rushed me to finish it though. It's just me rushing myself. Why? Coz, I know I'm gonna continue buying books before I finished the ones yg I bought earlier. force of habits, I guess. hahaha. the least I can do is read them, right? So it wouldn't be call 'wasting'. by this rate, I can fill in all my books on my new shelf at my new room nanti.
Rushing or not I have these to read the year is up. Hopefully I can make it.
I'll an update if I managed to finish earlier. hahaha AzNuur, hwaiting!! . . .
I have a thing/habit with trying to wake up sleeping;
cats,
this looks like cBobok kami..tapi bukn..ani kucing urg lain..ahaha cute what?~!
dogs,
usually yg tidur bawah parked cars plang..and i would be like 'ssht shht" from inside my car, with the window rolled down a little. when I see the dogs' ear perked up, i stopped but continue until i good really scared that they would jumped into my car and stop for real. and would do it again the next time i see them (at my work place lah selalunya..ahaha)
babies,
hmm..most parents only trust me with their babies during play time. but during sleep time, I'm not even allowed to go near. ahaha am good babysitter whattt...
people...
of course bukn cOnew lah..but i would love to. see if he'd kill me on the spot. wawawa and jua, klu urg tu memang pemental, inda plang ku gila sangat kn kacau slumber nya.. xP
like, I'm serious.
they looked so cute (for the animals and babies) and calm (for others xP) that i just have to, you know, bangun kn.
and I actually have the satisfaction from seeing the annoyed look given by the awakens. ROFL!
