After 12 weeks I am exhausted! I'm suppose to be be a market right now selling fudge but with a turn of events I'm at home lazing around. I didn't start the day off too well but on a walk I saw a heir which cheered me up quite a bit.
I therapeutically listened to music all morning and I feel so calm in so long. The song which helped the most was Mademoiselle Noir by ppeppina, Krrr and MarieIv. The genre is folk and tells of a dark fairy tale. Totally hit every mark there is to score with me. I love love love dark fairy tales and I love love love folk. Definitely reminded my of the works of Regina Spektor.

Monday was just like any other day. I lost 1kg within 3 days! Which is exciting because I've been 45kg for over a year now with no shifts. Usually I eat 4 meals a day, with snacks. After three days of eating 3 meals a day with snacks if needed, 1kg was shed. I suppose this is good for me like they say "wise temperance of the stomach is a door to all the virtues". I always find myself eating beyond what I need. I eat until there is nothing else to eat. I eat because I see food. I admit I'm a sinner of gluttony that is why I'm changing my ways. I'm not under any special diet, I still eat unhealthy food, I'm just not going to eat each meal to the point where I can't eat anymore. I don't think I'll be loosing anymore weight but I wouldn't complain if I lost more, of even gain back the one kg. I just want to teach myself good habits. The quote is very much right, if you can't even control your stomach, how else are you going to control other much more important aspects?
Tuesday I walked to Nikki's house with the help of Brendan's directory but unfortunately she wasn't home so Brendan and I part way and just as we did the rain greeted me. It wasn't a light shower and it wasn't a thundering storm. I'd say it was mild. Usually I wouldn't have be pleased to be greeted by such an unexpected guest but that day I was in no rush to get home and my head was mostly else where. I felt the droplets fall from my nose and hair. My vision challenged by the rain ahead and in my eyes. By the time I got home I was thoroughly soaked. Luckily I did not catch a cold. Maybe I was too tired to complain or maybe I'm slowly learning how to dance in the rain. Who knows?
Wednesday was spirit day at school. Many people left half way through the day because they did not want to part take in the event. I still fail to understand the big fuss with how bad the event is. I enjoyed myself and in my group I actually only had one friend. I'm still puzzled as to how Alex did not get my Lion king interpretation in one of the activities.
Unfortunately green lost again and orange takes the title 2 years in a row. I'm hoping next year green will show orange we're not completely useless.
Thursday went in a blur I hardly remember what happened. Oh that's right Laith and Shreyan found a new way to tease me about my height. They would shield the bottom of their eyes and look forward while asking "where's Seryna?". Curses. Apart from that I don't remember much else.
Friday was when my media class can a relaxing session. We started of by playing a gambling dice game which is banned to Russia (let's not tell the parents) and then we had a shared lunch. Mr J bought meat mousse (exclamation marks). I wouldn't have believed it until Mr J handed it over to me on a slice of apple. Strangely, it was nice. I spent the rest of the session again sinning in the name of gluttony. I figured I will allow myself to on occasions such as these. I don't much like sweet things but I ate the biscuits and cakes nevertheless. Sometimes I question myself too. I bought nachos. There was a little left at the end of the shared-lunch and I forced David to eat them. It's the first time I'd had to force him to eat something, the last time we were at a restaurant I was forcing him to stop (if you know David you'd understand). Now that I think about it, I probably didn't so much force David to eat those nachos, he willingly ate them.
I also want to share three quotes I gathered in the last week:
“one cannot win when shamed of one's natural quirks so parade them with pride, never hide them inside for fear of offending life's jerks.”
— The Man With A Turnip For A Head
“Better alone than badly accompanied.”
— Candace Bushnell
“If the past year were offered me again,
And choice of good and ill before me set
Would I accept the pleasure with the pain
Or dare to wish that we had never met?”
— Augusta Gregory
In media class we finished watching Amelie. I can see why it's still on the list of top 200 movies of all time. I really love how quirky the film was and how strange all the characters were. I love the setting of the film, it's something my 8 year old self would have imagine up a make-believe world to look like. Here on my side of the city, everything is urban. Which I'm not complaining. I'm just putting my readers into perspective as to why I think the setting in Amelie was pretty surreal. It's been years since I've walked into a house with wallpapers and if I have it would have been too neutral for me to notice, unlike the vintage colours and patterns in the film. Most people thought she was quite weird but I find her adorable, awkward yes but I feel I can relate to her on some level.
I recently just finished a book that was turned into a movie also starring Audrey Toutou (don't you just love French names?).
Bye bye for now ♥
Gluttons unite. We should form a club of gluttons. 'Hi, I'm Seryna, and I'm a glutton.'

Every time I read about food (which is rarely) ever, I feel like I've gained 5 kilos. But sadly, no. High five for the high Asian metabolism! Also may I just comment on your cheekbones. Not sure if you've ever gotten that before but they're splendid. x
