Autumn

November vibes

, , Free time, Hobbies, Instagram 0 Comments

We’re having lovely weather for this time of the year. The beginning of November was cold and rainy, everything was gloomy, but now things are better.

Even the stray cats are taking advantage of the sunshine.

I must admit that on some mornings, I can feel the cold air and it makes me feel giddy with anticipation for the Winter holidays. I feel the need to watch old movies, re-read books, and just stay in bed all day long. 

Then there are moments, when I feel the need to go out just to feel the cold November air. This happens especially in the evenings. I love the fact the days are shorter. I love the city lights and how everybody is just to busy with their own thoughts, not noticing things around them. 

This time of the year, a lot of feelings are stirred up inside me. I long for the old times, and I also long for new things, new adventures. I am taking these feelings as a sign of me getting back to my old self. The self that wouldn’t worry about what the future will bring, and would only think about experiencing life at its best.

Until then, I will enjoy the day to day activities, may they be good or bad. I will make the best of what is thrown at me. That and I will keep taking photos of all the stray cats I can find.

I like the feelings that I am having lately. It might be from the November weather or from nostalgia, but it is good to have dreams and goals again.

Pay day = shopping day!

, , , , Free time, Korean 0 Comments

I got paid and I went shopping. Online shopping to be more precise. A new order was placed today on YesStyle by yours truly.

Shopping

Winter jackets was this year’s target and I think I did well. For $100 I got 3 jackets (two for Johnny and one for myself) and a notebook. The package should arrive at the end of this month and I just can’t wait.

Since I started work this summer I decided that each month I will try to buy certain clothing items to improve our wardrobe. Upgrade it, if possible. I’m not referring to expensive clothes, but to certain items that we don’t have, that we need or which are work related (like shirts, skirts, things like that).

Last winter I kinda ruined Johnny’s jackets since I used to wear them whenever I had to take Pluto out. And, of course a lot of dogs jumped on me. The jackets are not wearable anymore. Well, they are still wearable, but only for dog walking.

So, to make it up I bought him 2 jackets. I hope to God that the measurements are good. I bought him one which was on clearance (so there’s no way to return it).

Stand-Collar Single-Breasted Coat

There were mixed reviews on it, so I went with 2 sizes bigger. It was funny really, each size was with 1-2 cm bigger than the other one. I just wanted to make sure it fits him well. I think it’s more of a autumn jacket, but that’s still good. Because the other one is more suitable for winter.

Zip-Up Padded Jacket

I went with navy blue with this model. Again, the product had some mixed reviews and I went with a bigger size. I even measured Johnny’s old clothes to be sure I am buying the right thing.

And for myself, I went with a classic black jacket.

Faux Fur Trim Hooded Padded Jacket

I was really tempted to go with red or any other color. But, I’m not the kind of person who likes to stand out in a crowd so black suits me just fine. I couldn’t help myself, and I bought a notebook as well. It’s a really cute notebook and I’m sure I’ll find a purpose for it.

Embossed Small Diary

I guess I just can’t help myself when it comes to shopping. Now the money is gone from my account we can only wait for the products to come.

The only productive thing I can do in the meantime if to work hard to make more money for next month. I still have boots on my list.

Autumn, is that you?

Autumn, is that you? I know it’s impossible, but the weather has turned around. It’s actually cold for this time of the year. It’s amazing!

For the next 3 days it will rain and it will be cloudy.

I’m the happiest person ever at the moment. I’m actually drinking hot tea and I’m wearing my long pajamas.

I wonder if my minions will cuddle with me if I get in bed. I missed sleeping in the same bed with Pluto and Marlanu’.

Autumn

I want the trees to go from green to the nice autumny shades. I want to wear chunky sweaters. Boots! Oh my God! I almost forgot about boots. I love boots. I should get a pair of brown boots. I don’t have brown boots.

Oh, oh and I can knit without getting a heat stroke. Snuggling under the blankets! There are so many awesome things I love about Autumn. It would take me a while to list them all.

If everything goes right, I might go wild and I’ll buy some new blankets so I can have something to snuggle underneath. Oh my, I can watch Bollywood movies or anime. Hayao Miyazaki comes to mind and a few of his movies that I haven’t watched yet.

I should make a list. I should definitely make a list so I won’t forget this feeling. But, that means a new notebook/agenda. I saw some pretty ones on the Internet.

I’m all giddy.

Just a few more weeks for Autumn to take her rights.

My favorite time of the year

, , Free time 0 Comments

It’s that time of the year when the cold starts to make its presence felt. That’s my favorite time of the year.

It’s a gloomy day, it’s windy and it’s raining. It’s perfect.

Warm weather

, Free time 0 Comments

It’s very warm for this time of the year. I was expecting more rain and bitter cold weather. Yet, it’s sunny and warm.

I cannot complain but I really wanted to take lots of autumn photos. No chance, because lately I’ve became so lazy that I barely got out and when I do I get annoyed because there are a lot of people around me. I don’t like people, I want empty streets.

I know I’m an idiot but I shall focus on being lazy today.

In the last 2-3 months I haven’t done anything. I’m wasting each day and it’s sad. I really need motivation. Yet I cannot find anything that can keep me motivated for longer than a few hours.

Tumblr is not helping me at well. I’ve became addicted to all those awesome blogs.

I shall need a break from Internet…

It’s Autumn and I already have a cold. Its not that I wasn’t prepared for the chilly weather, its more that I wasn’t prepared for my colleagues. They really love me and they enjoy sharing anything with me, from food, cute things to a flu.

And that’s how I got a cold.

I can’t complain. I mean I got some really cute stuff yesterday from my colleagues. It was like a mini Christmas. Really made my day a lot easier at work.

This is a food container from Ikea. Not that functional, but cute. I mean, besides a sandwich or fruits, I cannot put real food in it. It might spill and it will make a mess. Still, its something I wanted and Ikea is in the other part of town; it takes around 1 hour to get there during a normal day. I’m glad someone bought it for me.

I wanted a wallet for a while, since my wallet ended up with my mother in law (long story). But I am not prepared to spend so much money on a wallet. After all I am on poor mode for almost 3 weeks. I’m trying to save money not spend it. So, I got a mini pouch from one of my favorite friends at work. It’s perfect as a wallet for me.

Its not like I will have lots of money with me, more like work card, metro card, ID and taxi vouchers. I was really happy when I got this. I don’t know if she read my mind or noticed the plastic bag I had as a replacement. Yup, I’m that cheap. Then again, we (me and Johnny) are trying to make a major step and it takes a lot of preparation and responsibility.

We are trying to save for our own place. So, for use to avoid paying our entire life for a small apartment we decided to save money and pay one big chunk of it in one go. Growing up sucks in these times. Its easier being a kid, because parents now will do anything for their kids and they spoil them rotten.

Still, it will be fun, I want to see how far can we go.

On an autumn day

, News 5 Comments

The morning bus can be a source of frustration, sleepiness, various diseases, and in some rare cases, like today, a source of inspiration.

This morning, as usual, I waited for the second bus knowing it would be less crowded. It wasn’t! As I was being squished between two girls I was hearing heavy metal music. At first I thought that maybe an emo kid got on and had nothing better to do than annoy us with loud music. But after a closer look I noticed it was no kid. It was an old lady listening to Metallica on her headphones. But the music was so loud anyone could hear it.

It was shocking actually.

I mean, these days’ people seem to frown upon anything that isn’t as it should be. I mean an old lady listening to Metallica on a crowded bus. What is this world coming to? 

I managed to squeeze my way on a seat behind this lady and it down on me that she does not give a single f**k on what others might think of her. That woke me up faster than any coffee.

So, I got off one station earlier and went to the park. I had another half an hour before I had to get to work and why not go to the park. I took my camera out and at first I was a little hesitant with all the people there. So I walked around. After a couple of minutes I found something that caught my interest and took a picture.

Then I took another one, and another one and so on.

At one point a guy with his dog (a cute Labrador I might add) walked right passed me and it didn’t bother me.

It didn’t matter that my photos weren’t great or were pretty much ordinary, it matter that I took them and I was’t embarrassed to do so in public. It was a great autumn morning!

October already!

, , , News 0 Comments

Wow time sure flies when you’re not paying attention. I was almost certain it was still September.

It just doesn’t fell like Autumn since leaves are still green, it’s not cold outside and I haven’t seen any rain for a month or so. I wish Autumn would stop teasing and just come already.

There are a few things I want to do:

  • Go to the park and visit “Muzeul Satului” (The Village Museum) with Johnny during the weekend, and just walk around and enjoy the fallen leaves and crazy squirrels.
  • Visit the Zoo with Johnny, cause they brought new animals to see and I’ve never been to the Zoo with Johnny.
  • Drink hot coffee in the cold morning with Johnny while walking to work.
  • Wear sweaters and cardigans and cuddle up with Johnny.

 Autumn, for me is the best season, when everything just seem warmer, even if it rains or when is really cold outside. Also, Autumn is the beast season to start something new, like learning a new language or to cook, take on a new hobby, or even lose weight cause you’re already wearing clothes that cover you up so, there’s no pressure to hurry up. Ahh so many possibilities…

Darn you Autumn! Come already!

PS: If I remember right, last year in October, me and Johnny started this blog. It definitely was something new for both of us.
