I have absolutely no idea what I've done for myself in past couple of weeks. Remember going to my friend's wedding, but nothing after it. Work was (surprisingly) busy. Just finished my 2-day training on Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. It was boring, but allowed me to come home early and have a speedy recovery from my regular Monday syndrome. (Downton Abbey helped a lot with that as well!)

Wanted to update about a lot of things but nothing interesting is happening. Sometimes I think I have this paid account for nothing. LOL.

I should update my scrapbook and get ready for the "end of year review" post I'll do on Friday! (or Saturday.) Last year's was so much fun!

Started watching Hawaii Five-0. It's delightful! ♥ I love Danny and adore the Danny/Steve dynamic. Also Grace Park, you have the most beautiful smile and Kono is badass. I'm still towards the end of Season 1 so no spoilers please.

I haven't written a single word for 3 weeks (maybe more, not sure), it's bad. I thought I was done with my writer's block. I guess it's not that easy.

Also, I'm reading all of your entries, but too lazy to comment on all, sorry if you think I'm one of your invisible friends, I am not, I promise! I just don't know what to say most of the time. *hugs you all*

People keep asking me what I'm doing for new year's eve and my answer is "nothing, hanging with the family" as usual. It's not like I want to go out and spend it with a bunch of strangers in a stuffed club, but it feels weird after sometime to tell people I have NO PLANS for ANY SPECIAL DAY EVER.

Meeeh, whatever.

Oh and merry belated Christmas to all! I'm more active on Twitter so I usually forget to celebrate special days on here. Oh LJ, why can't I use you more frequently? Why? I think it's the downtime issue. Hopefully it won't happen again anytime soon. I love LJ and I really don't want to leave here even though I'm barely around as it is.

PART 1


PART 2


So amazing ♥ Not done with watching yet, continue after lunch, but still, SO MANY MEMORIES ;_;

Feeling much better than yesterday, but stayed home just in case... Ate bland pasta with yogurt for lunch, now drinking sage tea with a slice of lemon and contemplating on taking my medicine. Dad says I should, so I probably will, but now I'm slightly paranoid about what I'm eating/drinking.

For those who missed yesterday's entry or just viewing my public ones: I have a slight problem with my excretory system this week.

It is--well, was raining and it was amazing. Had some fresh air in the balcony and have a nice chat with my goldfish.

Yes, I chat with my goldfish, sue me.

Also I'm watching my tv shows like I have no care in the world which is awesome, plus they finally installed the fiberoptic cables so we can select a high-speed internet package whenever we want! Hoooray! We're definitely getting a 50mbps unlimited package! Only 109 liras a month which is a bargain regarding our current situation. (2 mbps for 69 liras)

I'll go back to my TV/nap combo and cherish this day with the least number of visits to the loo. Woohoo!

Yes I'm still watching Sabrina.

Thanks to Kristen Bell's tweet about Bad Lip Reading! I wouldn't have had any idea about this video if it wasn't for her.



THE SONG IS SOOOO GOOD =)) Oh, the night is young now baby we could shoot a Russian unicorn!! ~~

( Michael Bublé's response to the video )

Amazing Mary/Matthew fanvideo to Adele's Someone Like You ♥ (snagged from fauxkaren).
Spoilers for Downton Abbey, all aired episodes.

I was commenting on fauxkaren's entry and decided to make my comment into a reaction post.

( Downton Abbey is slowly becoming my life... )

I'll start watching Upstairs Downstairs (new version, not the ancient one) once Downton Abbey goes on a break, mostly because I don't want to stay away from the environment too much and Alex Kingston will join the show in series 2.
