Wrong Type Of Reading Material

I will admit to spending most of my day reading.  However, it wasn’t the review material that I was supposed to read.  Ah, so weak-willed.  I wasn’t even able to finish Old Man and the Sea, or Death of a Salesman.

Ah, darn it.  I suck at concentrating at any kind of academic reading.  And to think I skipped out going to DLSU too.  Tsk.

 

 

 

Didn’t Get What I Wanted

So those plans yesterday?

I wasn’t able to even do half of the stuff I mentioned.

Yes, I hate myself right now.

Really Abrupt Halt To… Working

I can’t really say much about my day, which is to say it was the epitome of goofing off.  My initial intents aside, I think I spent the good part of the day just in front of the computer playing video games.  And I wasn’t even able to watch any anime too.  

Ugh, I wish I could channel all of that energy spent video gaming to something, I don’t know, creative.  Or useful.

So, nothing to show for my day, aside from perhaps an added pound or two from eating again.  Move along, while I mope in the corner of my mental room again at the time wasted.

 

 

 

Another Progress Report: Endweek

Progress: Virtually Nonexistent.

Temperament: Lethargic.

What can I say, I’m not feeling particularly driven today.  It was raining, I overate, and am feeling generally… lousy.

On the bright side, it’s my day off tomorrow.  I can devote all of it to just writing… something.

Bingeing Out

It was a relatively uneventful Sunday, as far as work shifts go.  Given my usual problems with my system, I ended up taking up membership application duties again.  It’s pretty much old news, but I do so prefer it than answering CS calls, and it being Sunday, there are usually a flood of those coming in (indeed, one of my co-workers was stuck answering CS calls for most of the shift, meaning he wasn’t in a good mood for much of the morning).

Aside from that, I pretty much pigged out at Yoshinoya.  Ordered their biggest beef bowl and ate it without even a hint of guilt.  I’ll totally hate myself tomorrow for it though.

Incidentally I was only able to indulge in said beef bowl (and the full-body massage that came some time after) because I had a recent infusion of cash care of a hundred US dollars sent by my mom.  She didn’t really specify what it was for, but I’d like to think that it was for the Christmas present that Tatay never got around to giving me last year (because he couldn’t decide on any — what happened to having the thought count?).

Can’t really say much. Oh yeah, chipping away at the screenplay. Hard to keep off the net though. Viva distractions!

Throwing Up My Hands (Again)

Progress report: No progress done.

Damnit.

Step An Hour Back

Boy, was that embarrassing.  I went to work late because I forgot that, starting this week, everyone’s schedules shift back one hour because of Daylight Savings Time.  It looks like I missed more than twenty-five minutes all told, and honestly I’m not too keen on facing my supervisor tomorrow because of it.

Anyway, I’ve adjusted my alarm, so there shouldn’t be any trouble from now on.  Hopefully.

My father and sister just got back from their trip to Bohol today, with the expected amount of goodies for me in tow.  There’s the obligatory t-shirt and tarsier phone strap-doll, but they also brought several plastic jars of calamay as well as peanut treats (five packs that lasted about thirty minutes from the time my attention was brought to them).  I fear for my dieting plans for the coming week, as all those sweets, and all the associated calories… It’s going to be hard, given my sweet tooth. 

On other news, starting tomorrow, I’m limiting my net usage so I can focus on my rewrite.  This means that, depending on the situation, I might not be able to post anything on this journal, but I think that’s kind of expected from me at this point.  Yeah, got to get serious, especially since there’s no guarantee that my LOA request for the final week will be allowed.

Ah, curse my lack of focus.

Status Update: Down the Wire. Again.

Welp, that was yet another day lost to distractions.  One more day to go, else I’d have to be stuck with the old unrevised screenplay to present for Saturday’s class.  And I don’t want that.

Time to burn something fearsome for Friday.

Quick Status: The Usual

… Which is to say, not that good.  While I was sent home for the day (until the issue with my work schedule is fixed), I wasn’t actually able to put all that free time to good use.  As usual, faaaaaar too many distractions on my desktop.

Time for plan B, and fire up the laptop, I suppose.

Urges and the Lack Thereof

When I went to bed earlier this afternoon, I did so fully intending to actually do something once I woke up from my siesta.  Possibly something hobby-related like continuing the Alduin’s Wall parody sketch I did last night.  Well, that didn’t pan out exactly as I expected though.  Although by all accounts I’m fully-rested, I couldn’t muster the urge to do anything.  Anything except more sleep, I guess.  

Sleep debt striking again?  More likely than you’d expect.

Anyway, since I’m not feeling sleepy at all (ironic isn’t it?) I think I’ll try to do some sketching.  At least until I get sleepy again. 

Oh, and about my workshift today?  It was still relatively slower than average, so I suppose it’s still a good thing.  Hopefully this continues until at least after New Year’s.
