Rainy Saturday, late movie night, walks and cafes

When it’s grey, windy and raining on a Saturday, some may be disappointed; for some it is as though the stars aligned overnight and provided the perfect reason to stay indoors, without guilt, all day in my pajamas.

Sound on

Instead of just lying on the sofa, mindlessly scrolling on my phone or paying half-attention to whatever is playing on the T.V, I have mastered the art of hermit life with a jam-packed to-do list at home. You see, I am a very busy person at home (lol). I want to read my book (I finished one over the weekend), practice the piano, study Japanese, organize and edit my photos, plan out my posts on this site, edit my videos (see YouTube icon located on the top-right-hand corner of this page), take pictures and scribble down whatever I want on my notebook. It is fortunate that these hobbies do not require a lot of money or outdoor time.

Although, I actually did go outside eventually in the evening. I worked out downstairs at the gym and met my friend to watch ‘Little Women’ at the cinemas up the road. It was a 10.30pm session, yet given the late time, it was a nice, pleasant film to watch to end the day.

The next day, we had brunch at Westville for the first time and we most definitely will go back. We ordered the baked challah bread french toast and holy shiz it was delicious. The breakfast burrito and California benedict were solid as well.
After our very big meal, we walked around DUMBO soaking in the winter sun and blue skies, admired the New York skyline as we looked out onto the East River and then did some grocery shopping. We went our separate ways, where I headed towards White Noise Cafe to work on my hobbies as mentioned above. I ended up staying there for three hours! Who needs a social life right?


It’s OK – I worry too.
