Evening Change Up

So as I was commuting to work today (or maybe I was thinking in the bathroom?) I thought about how every Monday morning, my first thought would be, "Ahhh I can't wait until the weekend". I think that's because I get to sleep in (I'm so bad at waking up early and going to bed early.) and also I have plans to look forward to that are always different on the weekend. I also don't plan stuff usually for weeknights, just because I'm usually so tired.

But y'know what, it's summer now and so I feel like the days are feeling longer, and so I'm going to make the resolution to have plans for most of my weeknights! I've always just lounged around and watched stuff, or napped after work... Recently in the last few weeks I have been going out pretty often in the evening either with work or with my friends. And so by making these plans, I'll have lots to look forward to :)

On Mondays & Tuesdays I already have plans, which is usually editing. Today was different, I still had editing to do (I've finished half), but I played with Tofu, spent time with my family, got popcorn and chilled with our friend for a bit. Oh, and I also took a stroll to the post office to pick up my makeup order. I've been waiting for it for three weeks, so I'm pretty excited to try out my new makeup! So my Monday evening flew by after all these plans, which is cool.

Tomorrow I'm going to be finishing up my editing, but we'll also head over to Express to get some items that are on sale. I hope that includes sunglasses. I've been meaning to get a pair, but it's really hard to find sunglasses that suit my face. I tried some on at Express before and I think I've found the ones that I think I look good in. :)

I don't have anything planned for Wednesday, but I'll probably take that time to either clean up the garden plots or hit the gym and possibly work on a blog post/my website. Thursday, I'm meeting up with a friend for some ramen, then it's the weekend after!!!

So I'm doing pretty well for plans for this week's weeknights. :)

Next week, on the other hand, I'll have to plan something for Tues - Thurs. The thing is, I also want to save as well. Going out means spending money T_T, so I'll have to plan to work on things for those evenings.

Alrighty, it's almost 11pm and so I should be going to sleep soon. I was so tired this morning but had some coffee and that kept me up for the entire day. Usually I make my lunch at this hour, but I've got spring rolls defrosting in the fridge right now, and a bag of apple slices to take tomorrow. Yum!

Just chillin'

This week was more tame than last week. I didn't have any evening plans except for video editing on Tuesday, so I pretty much relaxed the entire week during the nights. We were supposed to film on Wednesday night, but there was an intense rain storm, so we postponed the film date until next time.

I didn't do anything related to updating my blog or website. Actually, Thursday, we did have friends over and played board games. Chicken Ceaser and Celestia. We also went to 7-11 to pick up some chicken and tacquitos for dinner. The tacquitos are so good. Yum.

I wasn't feeling so great on Friday night after work, and barely got sleep the night before, so I spent 4 hours napping, and then we started watching Terrace House on Netflix. It's kind of like a Japanese version of Big Brother, but it's about a bunch of people who live in a sharehouse and we get to see how they interact, both inside and outside of the house.

On Saturday I had to film and I also spent some time with my family and Tofu. Dan had kickboxing and so after our separate events we went home and watched more Terrace House, then went out for dinner and ice cream with some friends. We went for thai food for our friend's birthday dinner, at Khao San Thai and also had some thai iced tea there, it was sooo good! I wish I could've taken a batch of it home, haha. We then went to this new rolled up icecream place called, Scrollio. Dan and I shared one with macademia nuts, caramel sauce and sea salt. It was pretty good. The ice cream was hard and it was kinda too salty? But we quite enjoyed it. Afterwards, we walked and talked along 17th ave and called it a day around 10pm. Watched more Terrace House after and then fell asleep around 1am.

Today we cleaned the house and went to Original Joes for some food and chats with friends. Dan's friend is in town so we caught up with them and now the guys are playing board games while I do my own thing. They're doing Picnic in the Park outside right now, so I might go check it out in the next few minutes before it closes. But there's an admission fee... just to go to food trucks... so I'm kind of on the fence here.

I finished prepping for my work week, and cleaning most stuff, so now I'm just thinking of what else to do today. I kind of want to go outside for another walk, but I also want to watch YouTube videos or play games, or colour. I don't feel like working on my website stuff right now, but I think I said last week that the weekend was going to be the time that I would use to work on it... ahhhhh. It's Sunday, so I feel quite lazy and more inclined to do fun stuff because I have to go to work tomorrow.

It's 5:30pm right now and although a few hours ago we just had lunch, I am starting to feel hungry! I wonder if we'll go out to grab something for dinner... hmmmmm....

Victoria Day Long Weekend

Another long weekend has gone by! Well, it's actually Victoria Day right now, but we had a pretty eventful weekend. :)

I'm kinda not exhausted but sort of exhausted from this WHOLE week. Omg. I was really busy at work this week and after work almost everyday I had plans for the evening. Tuesday was my only free night to just chill at home, which was nice. :)

Wednesday we had a work after hours thing to chill with our newest team member. On Thursday, I hung out with my friend  at Diner Deluxe and we caught up with some breakfast items for dinner. Friday night we took Tofu to the park and had dinner with my family.

On Saturday, we went grocery shopping and bought some seeds, and de-weeded half our garden plots. We then played Yedo with a couple of friends and then called it a night. Dan had kick-boxing earlier in the day, so he did that and I stayed home, we got some icecream afterwards at the market. :)

Sunday was another big day. It's quite funny because I planned for a very low-key weekend this week, to just sit back and relax while I regenerate my energy from a long week at work/evening plans. But nope, it was a super eventful weekend. Anyway... yesterday we went to Red's Diner and had brunch with our friends, talked lots, then went to the National Music Centre. I had a 20% coupon from Calgary Attractions, so it was great to get a discount for our first visit.  There was a lot to see and a lot of cool instruments to try and listen to. It was fun but we went there a little late and felt very rushed towards the end of our visit. There were 5 floors to check out and on average each floor was about 30 - 45 minutes to get through. If they have newer exhibits, I'd want to go again. Afterwards, we came home and ate dinner, had a quick nap and then went out for karaoke with my friends for a bit. After karaoke, our other friends asked to go to Hexagon Boardgame Cafe, but as it was closed at 11pm (it was already 9:30pm), we just invited them over to play at our place. We played Hanabi and big 2 (Japanese style) and played way too long into the night... didn't go to sleep until 3am!!

Today we took it a bit more chill. Bought a screwdriver and step-ladder to fix our vent, made some colourful bowls for late lunch, and had dinner with my family. I should really be outside enjoying the outdoors a little more, but yikes it's 9PM right now. We also took a nap too since we were both very tired from yesterday.

I should be editing right now, but I might leave that to tomorrow...

It'll be a more chill week this week. We have evening plans on Wednesday so far, so I'll use the other evenings to work on my website, blog and other stuff. Yup. Gotta stop procrastinating.

Food Coma T_T

I am late with the weekend blog, again! That's because I was pretty busy on Sunday :)

Friday - We were supposed to go out for dinner with a friend, but they weren't able to join us so we ended up catching up on Riverdale and watching the finale. We were going to go somewhere but stayed in the entire day. I think we went to the gym, though! :)

Saturday - I went to my friend's house to meet her baby and to hang out with some friends. Then we went for Oishii Sushi for my friend's birthday. I ate too much. I definitely had food coma afterwards on Sunday...

Sunday - I cleaned the house and did laundry, then celebrated my Mom's birthday and Mother's Day with the family, played with Tofu for a few hours (he was really happy!) and then ate food. Before that, I was in a food coma and took a 15 minute nap. Buffets are tough... especially sushi buffets.

So it was a very slack but enjoyable weekend! I am hoping to use this coming weekend to relax and work on my website. I haven't touched it at all... :( I should also start filming more too. I lack motivation. But I'll get there.

Before I Forget...

The past week I have been so exhausted, and totally forgot to write a blog post for the weekend!

On Friday we took Tofu out for a walk around the park and he hung out with us at home for a bit. We watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on Saturday and shopped at the mall for a bit. We also had some Korean food from Migarock, which was a place we were wanting to try and it was delicious! On Sunday we bought a new vacuum to help us suck up all the dirt in our carpets and my hair (haha), and we binge watched some Riverdale.

It was a low-key weekend, but really relaxing.

This week's also for more relaxing. May work on my website... hmm.
