eid, thoughts & food

eid day! technically it's tomorrow. it's the dawn of 27th which makes it chand raat.

update: it's the 30th. 

I wasn't particularly excited but I had a very nice day so I'm happy. I rewore one of sadia's kurti and lehenga. it was very pretty. i took lots of pictures. even though only a few actually turned out well haha. made a few reels too. one of which was a transition reel I posted on 4lyferz. for someone who makes so many reels my skills are still very..... lackluster. 

I spent a nice eid with my sisters, as always. we went out; ate, had ice-cream, went to the theater to catch a horror film and lastly, had dinner and came home to a hyper-active obi

moving on.

today has been sort of dull and boring. 

I feel down because of this one particular thing and i just wish i had more passion. or maybe wish I was brave. 

I checked up on this company i went to for an interview last year. even made two reels for them. and frankly? found it unempressive. their page has not grown at all. they're still making the same boring content and I'm glad. because they f-ing sucked. 

I've been trying to think about what path is most suited for me lately. I'm not someone who could survive in finance. i feel like it's too fast paced and everyone is just so much smarter than me. anyhow, I'm sure there's something for me and I'm very close to finding it. it's just something that has been weighing heavy on my mind.

something funny (now, but not in the situation) happened yesterday. me and sadia got locked out of the house and we had to call the locksmith. in the process 500 rs was lost but I gained another 500 so maybe it wasn't such a bad experience. 

yesterday, for the first time I made mutton! since we were home alone and I was feeling experimental. it was pretty easy since I'm not a complete noob at cooking.

cooking for me is just throwing things in the cooker and guess what, it usually works out! it was delicious. presenting saba's handmade mutton pulao: 

today morning. I made mutton once again and it was good too hehe.

after two meals, the mutton fatigue hit so we decided to eat jin ramen for dinner.

it was a pretty chill day otherwise. I didn't do a lot besides the usual routine. 

thank you for reading. love you all 🩷

about my day

recently, I've learned the power of documentation, or rather, it's preciousness.

it's a bright day. I wake up to the sound of obi gagging right beside me. very typical cat-mom fashion, I have to say. I'm annoyed yet I can't fall back asleep so it's an early morning for me. although 8 isn't very early. my deepest apologies to the true early birds, I haven't seen routine for a while now.

at this very moment, he is on my bed, aggressively cleaning or, licking would be the right word. cat cleaning asmr. very enticing. he's cozily placed and attempting to nap on my bed now. a lovely distinguished gentlemen. shush. he has completely fallen asleep.

I have breakfast, made by the hands of a person I don't like very much. hence, it lacks the love you need for a meal to be fulfilling. regardless, i'm grateful and eat it to the best of my abilities. a little secret but I have trouble finishing my meals. maybe it's my gut that's a little f-ed up. 

every day, i set up little tasks for myself. today, I had to go through notes my friend had sent me. watch a movie, recommended by another friend. spend some time scrolling on one of those investing apps. make a short visit to my stardew farm and say hi to haley (my in-game lover). write on my blog. heh. solve sudoku and win rummikub. stare at obi and make atleast three videos of him sleeping. and um. that's it I guess. 

random thing that brings me joy is when there's cake or ice cream in the fridge. I don't have a strong urge to consume it but just knowing it's there for when I have my little craving outburst is sort of comforting.

sunlight, to me, is subjective. the only time I enjoy it is when I'm taking pictures and I want it to hit at the right angle. but when it's 2 in the afternoon and it's glaring inside my room? horrendous. I want it gone. ms. moon, may you grant us with your presence already? please? 

sometimes, I have flashbacks of terrible smells. hence, I burn the candle. the scent is 'laundry day' which smells exactly like fresh laundry and slightly floral. not my favorite but it's a nice, subtle scent.

although I don't do much throughout the day, atleast nothing mentally or physically taxing, I always end up sleeping at the same time. I'm done with dinner by 8 or 9. i prepare to sleep around 11, and then I'm in bed all cozied up. I don't fall aleep until a little past midnight, though.

I want to end with a small note; I don't believe in making wishes or hoping, because ultimately we are all doomed. but peopleeeeeee. are so important. every person in my life is a good person and they make me very happy! I find joy in random ways and you have certainly given me purpose in some way or the other. so thank you. that's all for the sappiness. I shall see you next time. 

thank you for reading.

-boogey, or saba, I like both.

having two mummas, a blessing or a curse?

(written from obi's perspective)

today, i'm here to report my findings.

so....  I have two mummas.

i realized it when i was asleep! i was picked up by mumma... lets call her mumma 2 then she put me back on the chair only for me to be picked again. this time, by mumma 1.

mumma 1.... is my main mumma Because she feeds me! her name is ummmm saba appi? that's what I've heard mumma 2 call her! I'm quite positive mumma 2 goes by the name sadia! 

anyway, enough about their names. let's get into how they treat me 😼

mumma 2 (sadia)

she manhandles me!!!!!!!!!! she has no respect for me!!!!!! she hates me!!!!!!! she makes fun of me!!!!! she takes hideous pictures of me!!!!!

she took me in from a miserable place and gave me a new home... my forever home. 

she also plays with me hehehhehw

mumma 1 (saba)

she is who I go to when I'm hungry!! um she is very nice to me I think ?

she does horrible things to me like.... holding me hostage in her lap, aggressively wiping my face and shaving my gorgeous fur off! she calls it grooming and it's a terrible thing. All cats should beware!

she pets me very nicely. she never over does it. she is the best petter I know! 

- 

this is a secret but I have another mumma... she's the oldest and I've heard they are all sisters. I'm not sure what it means. 

I don’t see her much but she is very sweet to me!

enough about mummas!!!! lets talk about ME. I AM. THE MAIN CHARACTER. 

-

hello to the peeps reading. I am obi. 

nicknames: laddu. sunshine. poko. and a hundred more. how do i know it's me she's calling? the trick is to learn to distinguish between all the mummas voices! and the tone! she speaks to me in her soft gooey voice since I'm her cutie son hehe.

my favorite slwwping spot is mumma's desk chair. it is also the best scratching spot! I have destroyed 70% of it. when i stand on top of it, I feel like simba muahahhaha.

mumma calls me a greedy boy when I go to eat from her plate. but she says sharing is caring? mumma's kind are confusing. 

my favorite hobby is bird watching! birds get so scared when i look at them with my predator eyes! I must be so scary and intimidating! poor birdies... who don't stand a chance against a Tough Man like me.

my favorite poopoo time is 4 am! peepee time is any time but poopoo time comes only once a day. that's how the digestive system works. of course I know big words! I'm a smart cat although mumma says I'm stupidly cute 😾

that is all! I shall come back with more findings.

signing off,

obi.
