I'm so glad to have a restday today. It seems that I've been too busy this month. In fact, out of the 10 rest days that we have this month, only 2, including today, have been spent at home. No wonder I've ran out of money and had to resort to "borrowing" from my savings that have been allotted for something that I've been saving up for. I keep wondering how am I going to earn more money aside from my salary at work, but I don't have much time to look or do sideline work right now. I need to channel my high school self, the one who has tight control over his wallet...and hunger.

Though I spent this today at home, I didn't let it pass by without doing anything. I spent most of it cleaning my room and repairing some old stuff. The aftermath: I've fixed 3 of my old sunglasses and now I have at least 10 pairs to choose from. Not so bad at all.

I know there's along way to go before I get to make my room cleaner and look better but it's a start.

This month has been so busy that I don't even have time to update this anymore.

So I'll just give a quick recap.

I've watched 4 concerts this month alone. I've seen Sheppard, All Time Low & The Maine, and Walk The Moon (twice!).I even made new friends or perhaps I should call them my concert buddies. I also have one more concert lined up before the month ends. I hope I get to watch.

Got treated to dinner and also found myself commuting to Eastwood! Watched Man from UNCLE which was surprisingly good and had some shisha sessions. 

Drank several times after office hours and even during office hours!

Celebrated our company anniversary and pretended to be a sax player for a "Beyonce" performance. We won as well!

Watched Inside Out.I found it good but not as good as everyone else is saying. Also watched the movie 50 First Dates for the first time. Also watched Fantastic Four which was terrible like everyone else has claimed.

My digicam which has been with me since 2011(?) broke down. I guess it needs a much needed replacement. It's a good thing that I've been saving up for it for quite some time now.

I'm glad my life is becoming a bit more active since work hasn't been so nice.

Today was my first rest day of the month.I was planning to stay at home because there was news yesterday that it was going to rain hard today but it didn't. Instead of being stuck at home, I decided to go to the mall and watch a movie. It's the premiere day for the Fantastic Four reboot. I didn't feel the hype for the movie but I wanted to see it since it's another superhero movie. Before leaving the house, I quickly browsed through early reviews from those who have seen it and most were negative. I didn't get discouraged though and still proceeded to watch the movie.

I don't want to talk much about the movie but all I ca say is that I should have trusted the fans. It wasn't good simply put. The casting was ok. Though I still prefer a different actor for the Human Torch, that wasn't why the film sucked. I can't really pinpoint what exactly was bad but it's different from the previous movies from Marvel. The story felt rushed and cheesy. The resolution of the conflict was also boring. I expected to see more action-packed scenes and got the short end of the stick.

While in the restroom after the movie, I heard two persons who also watched say that it should have been a direct-to-DVD release, and I couldn't agree more. How many reboots will it take to get it right?
