♫ Nat & Alex Wolff — "Losing You to the Crowd"

So relieved that I could finally breathe easy! We just finished wrapping up our February-March issue and to be honest, I actually had fun doing this one. I don't want to talk so much about work but that's that — it's definitely a good start to the year although we are almost entering February already. Hoping to keep the momentum going!

I watched three movies in the past few days thanks to Popcorn Time. The first movie was Band of Robbers; loved its idea of being about the real version of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer but this one was made to suit the modern times and concept. I had my heart rooting for Jorge throughout the whole movie because I wanted so badly for him to not die. It's so easily to be attached to characters that depict the minority; especially when it involves family matters. Moonwalkers was a little bit absurd but seeing Sheehan and Grint paired together again is just, refreshing. The movie made you realize how we easily fall for whatever the media presented to us although the probability of it being not true is, 100 per cent? Lol. Another movie was HairBrained and I loved it! Probably because Alex Wolff is such a darling and probably because it has been awhile since I last saw Brendan Fraser's acting. OK those are my reviews, so go watch these movies already.

On a totally unrelated note, it feels amazing to be told that you've inspired someone. Finding out that someone looks up to you is just beyond my comprehension but when that someone is your own little sister — I don't know what I did to deserve such admiration.

My youngest sister sent me a screenshot of the said sister's essay to me yesterday and the title of the essay was, "The Person I Admired Most". Yeah, she wrote about me. I was stunned a few minutes into reading it and here's why.

She's turning 14 this year and to be honest, she's not ultimately close to me because this porcelain doll is my Dad's favourite; after my pet kitty sister (the one who bakes amazeballs brownies). She's the tallest among us all - even taller than her two older brothers. One with crazy fair skin and pretty eyes that we used to think we had mistakenly swapped her with someone else's child. But that's not the point. I never thought she would think and look at me that way because duh, I'm her sister. What is there to admire? We share the same genes.

I wish I could insert a picture of her essay though but I'd be too ashamed for myself because the way she spoke about me... is just HEHE and HUHU. Made me feel proud and bad at the same time. Proud because she thought of me as an amazing example but bad because I don't think I am. But then,

"She's so beautiful and her skin is very fair," is the line that I laughed the loudest at because she was basically just describing herself.

I still don't know how to react to that though and I know she reads my blog. She gets easily offended with my jokes sometimes because lol I'm that insensitive. And to be addressing this upfront would just make her feel, blegh. Am I right? But hey, it is such a nice feeling to know that you think I'm such an amazing person, paired with an amazing writing skills too. But please, don't strive to be like me. You can do so much better! To have me as a benchmark is just too easy for you and I hope you realize that. May you grow up to be all-things-amazing and someday I could make you a role model to your little nieces and nephews too, inshaAllah.

Have a lovely day, everyone!
