Friday Night Requiem – Page 2 – A bid to prolong the weekend

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/page/2

A bid to prolong the weekend. Self-discovery series: people I can’t stand. May 16, 2016. May 16, 2016. What the title said. People who don’t own up to their mistakes / flaws / behaviours. I know this is a condescending view because I’m very in touch with who I am as a person. Of course I’m far from being that ultimate self-aware human being, but I’m always pretty switched on when recognising my mistakes and behaviour patterns. You can’t understand why people can’t stop talking about you? These people jus...

Consistently epic – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/2015/08/08/consistently-epic

A bid to prolong the weekend. August 8, 2015. August 8, 2015. It’s been consistently good three days. I’m not complaining, and I’m not afraid of what’s going to happen over the next few days either (considering my ‘waiting for the other shoe to drop’ tendency). This was a really cool day! After work I went to catch a film as part of MIFF – The Second Mother (Que Horas Ela Volta? So that day ended up being the perfect balance of two things – the fact that I made things happen that set the tone for t...

Favourites – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/favourites

A bid to prolong the weekend. A few things in life inspire me, other things simply make me appreciate what it’s like to be human. Here are the things I can remember so far that make me feel happy. Floating in the seawater and looking up to clear, blue summer sky. The taste of hazelnut and milk chocolate melding in the mouth. Staring up at a clear night sky after a whole day of working indoors. Sleeping in a comfortable bed lined with so many pillows that the bed feels like a safe cocoon.

Calm your backside down – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/2015/06/06/calm-your-backside-down

A bid to prolong the weekend. Calm your backside down. June 6, 2015. August 7, 2015. While I’ve been cooped up in my apartment on this lovely Saturday, expecting nothing but a lazy, quiet, hermit-like day, people have constantly been coming to me with the range of expectations of my becoming their punching bag, their buffer and their pacifier. That was followed by another friend’s text, saying she wanted to chat because she’s been feeling down. I don’t know the details yet but I&#82...Finally a series of...

The chronicle of single girl living in Melbourne: episode 2 – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/the-chronicle-of-single-girl-living-in-melbourne-episode-2

A bid to prolong the weekend. The chronicle of single girl living in Melbourne: episode 2. August 4, 2015. August 9, 2015. While in the last three months of living solo has been relatively classy in terms of cooking, the subject of tonight’s episode still revolves around food. After successful run for my meats, fruits and vegetables, I needed to get some bread. I was quickly struck by this sudden excitement that I was able to get. Whatever the hell I wanted. I got home feeling confident, especially after...

Recap – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/recap

A bid to prolong the weekend. I used to write the month-by-month blurb, but as the years progress, I found it got too tedious to keep a monthly record. So I’ve decided to do a yearly recap instead. But since I don’t want to let all that writing go to waste, I still keep the old monthly record here. A year of self-discovery where I had to really ask myself: what do I want to do in life? Although, let’s face it, writing this 3 years later, I still can’t really answer that question! This was an eventful yea...

Wheee – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/wheee

A bid to prolong the weekend. August 6, 2015. August 6, 2015. Let me be juvenile for a second (when have I not been, really? So I just went out for coffee with that guy I went on a pseudo-first date with. Yes, I think he will now forever be known as the pseudo-first date guy. It’s a nice name – a bit of a mouthful, but nice. And then last night, I don’t know what came over me but I just messaged him again, making up the excuse that I actually wanted to ask how he was but couldn’t because I wa...And then ...

Float my (European) boat – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/2015/06/11/float-my-european-boat

A bid to prolong the weekend. Float my (European) boat. June 11, 2015. June 11, 2015. I have been dreaming about Europe again, and how I can’t wait till my next trip there. Perhaps the next northern summer? I think if I were to go next year, I would like to go to Stockholm and Prague, in addition to another trip to Berlin and the various cities / towns in Holland. I could probably go to London, but that isn’t exactly a priority for now (as much as I used to be an Anglophile all those years ago). Build a ...

Chums – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/chums

A bid to prolong the weekend. People in my life that I mention in this blog and their initials. B is a long-time friend who’s currently doing Visual Arts at university level. I started becoming friends with BS in January 2010. We met through mutual friends. She is a little bit older than I am so she has been a really good person to learn a lot of things from. She seems to be cool at first but once she gets into something, she can be. To me, she embodies the smart and sophisticated woman. A long-time clos...

Mixed up in general – Friday Night Requiem

https://fridaynightrequiem.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/mixed-up-in-general

A bid to prolong the weekend. Mixed up in general. July 14, 2015. July 21, 2015. I feel like I need to reevaluate a few things about myself. I thought I was mature, but there are definitely certain things that I’m not mature about. I thought I was pretty in control of my emotions, but there have been embarrassing moments where I lost it and people may or may not have been surprised by my lack of repression. But I didn’t. Hey, more anger coming your way. Hello, I'm X and I'm not going to tell you my name.
