the first quarter of the year has passed. welcome to the second quarter. times moves so freaking fast it makes my head spin... but life goes on and here are some things that keeps me hanging on...
1. currently busy with...
teaching conversation english at the university near where i live. and where i am also employed as a teacher for a government project in nonthaburi (a nearby province). it's fun... at least i get to teach adults, people you can interact with inside and outside the classroom. two of my students offered me a ride today... how cool is that?
2. currently listening to...
keane's "perfect symmetry" and snow patrols' "a hundred million stars". also to kala's "minute". (kala is a thai band. i bought the album late last year but havent really had the chance to listen to it closely until recently. and i like it. they're good.)
3. currently reading...
"clinical kinesiology" a physical and occupational therapy textbook. again, im such a geek...
4. looking forward to...
songkran festival. thai new year that falls on april 13-15 (but it would be a week-long holiday in my work!). if my best friend (in philippines) would come over, we will hit the road to cambodia and vietnam. if he doesnt, i'll probably go to malaysia.
also looking forward to seeing "x-men origins: wolverine." i've been an x-men freak for almost 15 years now... although i dont like the movie versions that much, it's just fun to see my favorite xmen characters come to life (in the silver screen, that is). special effects dude...
5. currently watching...
"supernatural" season 3 (for the second time). and next week i will start watching "heroes" season 3. i've already seen the first 8 episodes, actually. i just had to finish the complete 3rd season.
6. presently craving for...
shawarma or kebab. and grilled mutton (egyptian style) at the arab town on sukhumwit soi 3. and also an authentic daging rendang, a malaysian delicacy. now my mouth is drooling...
i've also been craving for some cinnamon bread... thick and creamy, which, for some reason, is hard to find in bangkok (or anywhere else in thailand).
7. what i've been dying to do again...
get to hit the gym again. and run... long distance running. and hiking. crap, i miss outdoor activities. in bangkok it's just malls and shopping and dining and traffic jam!
8. something im thankful for...
friends... i have a few wonderful friends that i can rely on in times of needs. (and even when i dont need them, they're there!) and my thai bestfriend (salman) is equally incredibly generous and supportive.
9. something that made me laugh...
cant remember, actually. i laugh a lot, that's for sure. i just dont remember the last time i really laughed out loud.
10. something that made me cry...
nothing in a long time. i just got teary eyed in one of the episodes of supernatural season 2 (which i've just finished watching for the 2nd time) because it reminded me of one person who i loved so deeply, then just vanished from my life. just like that... like it happened so freaking fast my life stopped for a moment.
11. current favorites...
sleeping, writing blogs, tv series on dvd, and enjoying the summer break.
12. one thing that i have been hoping for..
new direction. like, new job, new environment, new life... and a hot girlfriend. a chick so hot i would warp...
