Sunday mornings are usually devoted to a bit of contemplation and reflection about the passing week. That has always been some kind of a ritual, allowing me some kind of comfort and refuge to handle the week ahead.

I just got home from a long, intense, yet surprisingly fruitful shoot for our History165 video project. It was supposed to start at 1:30pm, but we only had the chance to finally shoot 2 and a half hours later. Blame the holiday for the lack of admin people. We had to go through so much red tape.

It seems like I’ve been on some kind of blogging slump. Mostly because summer permits me to actually have some time not to just waste solely on the internet. I still end up browsing for a bit though, especially when insomnia hits past midnight. Oh what should I do??? Regardless of a terribly exhausting day or not, I still end up like the nocturnal person I don’t want to get used to be.

Shush. The things that bother me during summer time. Sweet.
