I adore the 80s and artists that do covers of songs from the said genre—there are some artists that cover hits from the 80s as if it were originally theirs. I like Japanese Breakfast’s cover of the Tears for Fears original “Head Over Heels”—the simple vibes of the Hammond organ is ethereally good. I am a big fan of the Hammond keyboard from the time I first heard it on a Beatles record.
Yesterday was a relaxing weekend: I switched off the work mode button and turned on the quasi-hermit mode switch: no social media (except this blog) while my brief interactions were a few chats on Viber with family and friends. I engaged my flatmates in a brief chat before dinner, discussing whether there’ll be an office party for Christmas.
Most of the day it’s weirdo mode: keyboard typing on my red netbook, cursive writing on my new Moleskine-look-alike notebook, answering English grammar exercises (I still had some errors, I’m only human), and non-stop reading after dinner (finally completed an epic Stephen King book). Although I ran for half an hour at four in the morning, I recovered back the calories after I devoured a heavy lunch at a Jollibee outlet, but at least I didn’t squeeze in a Netflix movie. I meditated—that would mean staring at the ceiling for thirty minutes while lying flat on my bed, which lead to a chat with God with a siesta as a takeaway
I wrote the first few entries, which was a rough summary outline of my new case study draft, on the first page of my new quasi-Moleskine notebook that I called my APC notebook. I’m still not 101% on the APC as I am worried that I may not be in Qatar anymore next year—now that’s a real key issue.
