First two days of spring break:

Recently I've been absolutely hooked on instagram and I sadly became one of those people who can't help but post at least one picture every day. Overtime, my photos began to have a theme, that is 'the highlight of my day.' Of course, sometimes I just have one of those days that are mundane and an exact replica of the previous, in which case, I do not post anything. Anyway, I decided to give myself a 10 day challenge during my spring break and post things which are the highlight of my day. It's kind of almost an instaglog or blogram of sorts (yes that's me trying to awkwardly mash instagram and blog into one sentence). So these are some whaddups of the first two days of my spring break. In instagram format.

Day 1 - A very healthy morning. Decided to gym early and then hit the pool afterwards. Jacuzzi time was awesome.

WARNING: This might sound like a dear diary post..kind of.

Hello blogspot! It's the first of March where I am now and I decided to come alive for once. Yay?

It's spring break right now which means I'll have the whole week off. Good enough.

So you would probably wonder, what's up with the image I've put up there?

My February 14th basically. I don't believe in the day nor do I actively partake in its festives of giving a loved one gifts and such. But yesterday was the most normal February 14th I've ever experienced ever since I can remember. Which basically means nothing really happened to me. As I said on Twitter, I think I've change quite significantly that it's clear to people I am not made for this bull. I mean, I kind of find it ridiculous to have a special day for love. Love should be an all year thing. 

Yes I'm a cynic and I might come off as a hater with this post. I don't hate people who indulge themselves in the festives, I just don't believe in the day as much.

I love the people I love, and I make sure I know them. And that's enough for me. I don't need a February 14th to confirm my affection.

This afternoon was a slow day for me at the Writing Center, which was where I do my part-time job. Lately, I'm in that phase where if nothing entertains  me for that day, I would search up 'documentary' in YouTube and watch a random one which I find interesting. 

As I was perusing the list of documentaries YouTube offered me today, I came across one titled "Scariest UFO Documentary Ever!" which is the video I've linked above. Now, I'll be honest with y'all, so far in the past, I've always been a cynic towards alien hubub and extraterrestrial conspiracies. Thinking that, so far all the other documentaries I've watched are social issues related because that's what I find most interesting. However, I thought since the person who uploaded said documentary incorporated "scariest" and I love a good spook, I clicked on it, thinking it will just be 2 hours (Yes, the video was 2 hours) of crop circles and UFO sightings testimony thrown at me. 

Little did I know that I actually did get legit chills from watching that documentary.

A day with Gordon Ramsay himself.

This winter I took the chance and opportunity to intern for an independent journalism online publication in my city, dohanews.co. The editor was nice enough to give me the chance to cover a Gordon Ramsay press lunch. I had a great time eating his cooking (for free may I add) and just listening to him. Here are some pictures from the day:

It was an experience. Although I feel so intimidated and clueless the whole time, being able to go through something like this was definitely something unforgettable. Bless journalism, you get to meet all sorts of people.

Here's the linke to the article on Gordon Ramsay:

Can I just say...

I can't wait for these books to arrive? Yes, it's not as exciting as it seems, but these are exciting to me!

Yes I order books online because Qatar has limited choice of decent literature and fictions.

And yes I still read physical books. I can't stand reading anything electronically (hence, I never really like kindle).
