Describe the last difficult "goodbye" you said. Yesterday, I was driving to work, and a thought came into my mind. My mother commented the day before about some women in our extended family. She mentioned that they are very much "Afghani" women and are not trying to act American. I was confused by her comment…
Review: Oscar Animated Shorts
I watched the animated Oscar-nominated short films this past weekend. Halfway through the film, I lost my cell phone and was distracted. I found it halfway through an animated short where a naked man is flying in the air…seriously you know what was flying mid-air on the big screen. It was beautiful to watch these…
#272 under pressure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_RyzmQljQ8 Favorite song this week! Heads up, this blog is EVERYWHERE. Taking the pressure off of myself has been life-changing. I sometimes catch myself putting the pressure back on myself, but I stop myself. I need to train myself and unlearn this bad habit to form new healthy habits. I have an all-or-nothing mentality sometimes.…
#271 tired
Random truck Hi readers, I am tired but I wanted to post. Here are some photos of this past weekend. It has been a long week. Washroom in a random cafe Valentine's Day seems to be all week this week. It is not easy being a server during these types of holidays. So many people.…
# 270 calm chaos
My spirit was challenged this weekend. It was a very chaotic weekend. There was so much chaos in my home, and it was fogging up my mind. I want to learn to be at peace even amongst the chaos because this past weekend, I let my mind indulge in it, which was not healthy. It…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 42
Nothing remarkable happened next, and I learned a valuable lesson that only dawned on me years later. Every week, we would meet with an executive from Blumhouse and have lunch together. Some were nice, while others weren’t. The most notable one was from Jason Blum's right-hand man, Cooper. I had heard a lot about Cooper…
#269 a wonderful life
I had a wonderful weekend full of friends, good food, and exploring. Of course, there were some hiccups. It started with loud construction in the house because my father was renovating the roof and the driveway. The banging started on the roof at 7am on a Saturday morning. I was tired and cold. Since the…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 41
So, here I was, in contact with someone that could possibly help me get into a company that I desperately thought was supposed to be my path. I had doubt about it. I was supposed to be at Blumhouse. I mean, why else would some random person, who I have never met before, overhear my…
Review: The Whale
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn46ZZyzegc I was intrigued when I first heard of the film “The Whale,” starring Brendan Fraiser. I was excited about a film that would make me feel powerful emotions. Unfortunately, I started to feel sadness for a couple weeks, and one of my coping mechanisms is avoiding media that might be triggering. Therefore, I decided…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 40
I am back with another blog for Bla blah Land after a new week's hiatus. In my last blog, I explained that I started sending out resumes and recommendation letters. Nothing panned out. I ended my internship with Barry Katz after six months. Also, I ended up graduating from college with my BA in Communications…
