It’s been 4 months since I’ve been on a work from home set-up because of this pandemic that our world is embattled with. To say that I’ve adjusted well is an understatement. The lines between work and personal space and time, literally, has blurred making it difficult to keep it balanced. Not to mention the added anxiety of not seeing the enemy in this vast battlefield. As they say, life happens! š Though, I just wish for it to be a different circumstance.
It was definitely not an easy ride but somehow I’ve managed unscathed. I was able to establish a routine which is a biggie for someone like me who doesn’t like routines, at all. During plate number coding days, I wake up and do some work, then run errands for an hour or two. It’s also during these days that I make it a point to treat myself some good coffee and food. One of the many ways in keeping my sanity in check in an otherwise chaotic situation.
Another way that’s keeping me sane these days is Netflix, probably one of the best non-essential subscriptions I’ve ever made thus far. š As I have a lot of time on my hands these days, I’m able to binge watch movies and series both old and new which is so much better than sulking. So, here’s my list of movies and series to binge watch on (in no particular order):
Movies
- John Wick 1 and 2 — for when you’re in the mood for action and revenge; and it’s Keanu Reeves duh!
- Now You See Me 1 and 2
- Kingsman Secret Service
- Angels and Demons
- Crazy Stupid Love — Ryan Gosling people! Need I say more? š
- Notting Hill
- Little Women
- Devil Wears Prada
- We’re the Millers
- Chef — to feed the foodie in me
- The Old Guard
- Kissing Booth 1 and 2
- Extraction
- Sex and the City
- Two Popes
Series
- Prison Break
- Friends
- Suits (US)
- Queen of the South
- Money Heist
- Bodyguard — very short series and only 1 season; would have wanted for it to have more seasons but Netflix didn’t think to have more
- The Witcher
- House of Cards
- Gossip Girl
- and whole bunch of KDrama series which deserves its own post, so stay tuned! š
My list can go on and on, but I choose to stop here. One might observe that I have an eclectic taste in the type of movies and series I watch. Well, I’m fickle like that.
Whether I consider myself as a movie buff, I’m anything but. I still want my books and stories over these any time, as I’m left with my imagination to visualize the story I’m reading. However, for now and in the near future, I might just stick to Netflix for a little bit longer since it only involves minimal thinking. Don’t get me wrong, but I like the part where I get to rest my mind from all the thinking, especially in these trying times. š I feel that if I read books now, it’ll really stretch out my brain (awww, poor brain) no matter how shallow the book is. In time, I can get back to reading.
Let me know what you think! Leave a comment below. Bye!
