my two weeks of rest and relaxation

struggled to wake up at 12 pm
ate breakfast, 酸菜粉丝汤 with leftover birria taco rice, homemade soy milk, cold tomato salad with sugar, pickled radishes, and defrosted frozen mangoes, and half of a korean cheesecake. this made my mom’s stomach upset the same way avocado does. going to look into this…
called my boyfriend, changed, and got ready for an eye appointment at 2
went to bloomfield hills for my eye appt, got my eyes dialated and felt like a lemur
wore very cool mason margiela x gentle monster limited edition shades that my eye doc gave me on the ride home
beginning to type this, carlin jumped up to squeeze next to me in my chair. put on another pair of socks over my tomato socks because i have been snotting non stop
went out for a neighborhood walk with my mom
got korean bbq with jordan at chung ki wa, caught up on everything we were up to for the last five months. postgamed with matcha ice cream
saw the housemaid with rochelle and maya.
critiques: predictable, but still enjoyable. the second half of the movie was rushed. wished there was more complexity to andrew’s character, his psychopath persona felt kind of 1D. liked the ending for millie though. somehow the simplicity of the plot didn’t take away too much from the suspense and thrill. amanda seyfried did a great job. 7/10
came home, facetimed my boyfriend again. he showed me his target haul: navy yeti water bottle, ninjago legos courtesy of lisa, and fruity pebbles. also rearranged his desk into an L shape using his roommate’s desk. he made a late night bowl of cereal and listened to me recap the entire plot of the housemaid to him. he also predicted andrew being the bad guy.
showered and bed, gn
