After the exhausting craft fair on the Sept. 10th weekend, I thought about going on a short vacation to re-energize myself before getting busy again for the new Fall “co-op term”, but abandoned the idea as I don’t know how to justify the cost of going alone and without a purpose.  Did a brief stay-cation instead and saved some carbon footprint.

For the past couple of weeks, I had been consistently having my daily devotions in the morning, a habit that I’ve grown to depend on in preparing myself for the often stressful day of urban life.  Another thing I’ve been doing a lot is watching movies, watched 4 movies in about 10 days!  It was kind of spontaneous, except for one documentary which I bought the ticket about a month ago.  I enjoyed all 4 movies, and they all seem to speak to me in little ways:

六弄咖啡館 – I started dreaming about opening a small coffee/gardening shop because I enjoyed the subtle personal exchange of life stories.

Florence and the Uffizi Gallery – The little artist inside of me was yearning to come out, but I don’t think I can afford sculpting David for 3 or 4 years like Michelangelo did in this day and age.

Pele – I always enjoyed playing soccer as a kid.  The soccer ball even became one of my best friends in university days, I would go to a nearby grass field to juggle the ball alone to relief a little stress while my friends were busy studying for exams in their dorm rooms… But I’ve never dreamt of becoming a professional soccer player.

Life | Animated – Despite my mom’s suspicion, I don’t think I’m autistic like Ross Suskind in the movie, but I can relate as I do get trapped in my own little world sometimes too.  And I still occasionally dream of starting a regular comic strip… someday.
