Reminded Thursday

Have you ever waken up and understood that you woke up hours later than the actual time?

I woke up today thinking it was 8am when it was already 10.30am. Apparently my friend who is visiting, turned my alarm off before it blasted (every single time it rang) and so I basically slept through the alarms.

And since it was snowing, and I'm still not quite biologically used to waking up in the cold (I usually turn off my heating blanket before knocking out), I am usually out cold till my eyes naturally blink open.

Then when I looked out the window, the buildings nearby had snow caps!

WOOH!

And before I know it, I'm now home, after finishing up a whole day of shipping, shopping, and meeting up with a friend for dinner and desserts. Even slipping in some time to visit a giant teddy bear

But realizing just how quickly time flies, and how waking up even an hour late affects your day.

When I was a kid, my parents used to make me wake up early (we're talking 6am) and would get mad whenever I would wake up even at 9am. And now I finally understood why. As much as it was great to have done quite a bit, at the end of the day, I can see why it would've been so much better to wake up really early.

Waking up late isn't counter productive, but life could be more productive if more stuff was done in the 24 hours that can never be retrieved once it's passed.


Speaking of time passed... And I believe we've all heard this before, but one of the most common regrets among those who were at their death bed, is that they went through life only working their asses off.. all for money.

Just a reminder. 

A Day In The Life

So here's what actually went down yesterday.

I woke up to a stuffed nose. Hooray! But was taken to breakfast with the parents. So that was kinda nice. Ate some not-so-tasty noodles but my tummy was filled, so that's good! Upon arriving home, I decided it was a good idea to just lie down and take it easy. So I set up a cove (and did not take a picture, what a dummy!) and watched

I needed something that had no intentions of leaving me mind blown, so this was just what I needed.

So much laughs! That was all fun and it allowed me to just fall into a nice brief nap. I say brief cause mom started yelling at me to get ready to go out. Ah, mothers. I changed into something better and headed out for a late lunch with mom. We did some grocery shopping and after running across the entire mall, I ended up staying even longer for an impromptu dinner.

My dinner was nice and chill, with the other person checking the phone a lot (for work, poor thing so hard at work on a Saturday). Then it was home time to soak my feet in a nice ginger & lavender concoction in attempts to rid my body of the ick I've been feeling with the flu. Before I knew it, it was almost midnight and my body was already pretty exhausted so I headed to bed and knocked out like an amateur in the boxing ring. 

Just another Saturday in the life of mine. Paired with a stuffy nose, some Vicks inhaler and lots of tissue paper. But I also noticed there were a lot of interlocked fingers at the mall and so many love confessions on social media...
