I don’t know how people make it look easy but tryna act busy is actually quite a difficult thing to do. I’ll give you an example for “acting busy”. It is what I’m doing now. My laptop screen is safely shielded from any of my colleagues’ eyes and as long as I can keep a straight face and type calmly, I’d look like I’m doing work when I’m actually not.

Don’t give me that look and don’t even go thinking what is wrong with me, wasting company time and resources by acting busy. I’m going to give you guys a little heads up about corporate office life – acting busy is how you’re going to pass time in the future if you end up with a corporate desk job like me. Mark my words. Your future is set in stone. /evil laugh/

I found an article online about how to look busy and it’s so true I wanna laugh out loud but of course I can’t because I’m supposed to be “busy” tying my paperwork. Na mean?

Either way, I think it’s safe to say I’m Meryl Streep’s newest fan! LOLs

Honestly I don’t even remember how I got to know her all those years ago. It’s like that one good friend from school that you don’t even remember how the two of you met. It’s something like that. I think my earliest memory of watching her movies was..Mamma Mia, back in secondary school. Honestly I only watched it because everybody was talking about it and I’m sort of an ABBA fan.

I didn’t like it very much because musicals weren’t really my thing yet at that time. I knew that there was a movie called The Devil Wears Prada (“TDWP”) way back then but I never got around to watch it. Wasn’t a big movie junkie back then, too.

On the flight to South Korea a few years back, I decided to watch some of the in-flight movies. Since I had no idea which movies were good, I watched the ones with familiar faces in it. I watched Anne Hathaway’s movie. I started with the one about her and her best friend wanting to get married in the same hotel or something and then I moved on to TDWP because I saw her face on the poster.

And that did it. I recently revisited the movie and baaam! I love all 3 of the leading ladies! I love Anne, Emily and Meryl! I proceeded with my standard operating procedure:

1.       Read the Wikipedia page

2.       Search for notable movies

3.       Binge watch the said movies

4.       Watch cast interviews for the said movies

5.       Search tumblr for their photosets and gifsets

6.       Follow their fanpages

Binging Meryl’s movies was fun because she is so adorable! Like legit she is so adorable. Honestly! Like, I can’t even type this without my face threatening to break into a grin.

Just take a few minutes and watch some of the examples:

1.       The Graham Norton Show with James McAvoy and Mark Ruffulo

2.       At her daughter’s convocation

3.       TDWP Gag Reel

4.       The Graham Norton Show with Nicole Kidman, Nigela Lawson and Carey Mulligan

She’s just so adorable. I can’t! I really can’t. /sighs/ be still my heart.

That’s all I can think of at the moment. Haha!

Day 2 of boredom and I’m running out of things to say. I suppose I could always update this Word document about every small little thing that happens because I really am that bored.

I had a really great talk last night with my dongsaeng. I’m going to refer to her as Regina since that’s what I’ve been naming her in my phone for the past few months. We talked about a tonne of things which was awesome, from our band days to my uni days and to my first heartbreak.

While we were talking, she suddenly got very serious and asked

“are you very unhappy right now?”

And when I asked why would she say so, she answered that she recognizes the signs and the vibe I give off. She came to a conclusion that I’m depressed. And I couldn’t be more glad that somebody finally picked up on it. but then again..for somebody to actually picked it up, it must be getting worse.
