While Resting

Image source
Remember I told you about having a little rest, well I did fulfill many of my resolutions, so here are the list of things I've done these past days!

Movies I watched: Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Temple Grandin, Flipped, Blue Jasmine, The Phantom of the Opera, and perhaps a few more. I really enjoyed Flipped, I watched it without any expectations, but it was incredibly sweet!

Books I read: 1984, started reading Mornings in Jenin and The Book Thief, all the while The Count of Monte Cristo still hangs at chapter 61; no progress since ages.

Unfortunately, I have not discovered new musics!

Ice-cream score: I ate at least a half a dozen of cheese sandwich ice-creams in the first week, then I got addicted to eating chocolate coated vanilla ice-creams everyday!

How about nap? Napped a thousand hours and slept in all kind of places in our house!

Miscellaneous: Blog had some makeover, but that's something I do every day... Sky blue was my most worn nail polish color along with wearing A (shocking revelation?!) grey t-shirt everyday with different types of clothing layered upon it.

Hope you had a lovely weekend and wish you another happy week!

    I love Breakfast at Tiffany's as well as Blue Jasmine! I could be napping all time these days too.

      I enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's, but I have mixed feelings about Blue Jasmine, I expected more from the ending :/

      Thank you Sam! I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday yesterday after realizing it was Audrey Hepburn's birthday, and the fact that I haven't watched any of her movies made me watch these immediately!

    Sounds like the perfect break! I don't find anything quite as rejuvenating as a much needed nap...let alone several. After reading the post you linked, I'm curious, what was the beautiful accomplishment? :)

    The new blog layout is so pretty! Hm I haven't attempted Count of Monte Cristo yet, the sheer size of it is terrifying...

      Thank you Jane! The Count of Monte Cristo is long (I agree!), somehow I didn't have a problem reading it in the beginning, but now I just find it hard to continue! It's fun and interesting once you concentrate... but I can't concentrate on it!

      I really really liked Roman Holiday (I think I liked it better than Breakfast at Tiffany's), and 1984 was brilliant!

    Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a few days! Tomorrow's my last day of a very long semester, so I hope to do lots of reading, movie watching, napping, and ice cream eating soon too! (Ok, actually I've been ice cream eating all along!)

    Naps are the best! I haven't had a nap for a long time though. I used to relish them when I came home from school/college/uni! I am craving ice cream now...

      There's cheese flavored ice-cream in the middle of two (sweet) castella-like breads, it's delicious!

    What a pretty photo that is surely making me hungry!! I don't know if you still remember me haha But I no longer blog at "Melodies In The Sand." I now have a new blog, which I hope will last long. I haven't been here for quite some time but your blog looks so cute and cozy as the previous layouts you've had. Take care, Ellie! ♡ :-)
