Things I Consumed / Did in the Past Weeks Vol. 2

So we're officially in the mid of April. I've broken my own promise to regularly write, which is a shame. [Insert THAT "Shame! Shame!" scene from Game of Thrones here] Is it just me or does time really go by so fast the more you grow up and moreover ever since the pandemic hit? I've been working from home since mid March last year, with still no plan for working from office in hindsight, and time is getting more and more of a blurry concept for me. Feelings like "Was it 2 months or just 3 weeks ago I started using this skincare product?" "Is it Thursday already?" is starting to appear almost on daily basis. Might as well just say that time is a concept I start struggling to grasp.

So, what have I discovered in the past weeks?

1. This cool global vaccination tracker by Reuters. It gives you insights on the current progress of COVID-19 vaccination in each country that has commenced the process. You can also get insights and graphs for each of the country (e.g. active cases, vaccination speed, vaccination phase etc). Kudos to Reuters data team.
2. The Irregulars on Netflix. They just released in mid March and I'm still on episode 4. The premise of this series is that Sherlock Holmes and dr. Watson, the already-famous and respectable crime detective duo, turned to five teenagers to help them solve some darker cases. Do not expect regular murder cases in this, expect something more like "murdered by an unseen force" kind of cases. I once read that in the Victorian era, where the series is supposed to take place, due to the lack of entertainment, seances are one of the most common "entertainment" people could get their hands on. Makes you feel damn lucky to be born in this era, huh?
3. Somethinc Game Changer Tripeptide Eye Concentrate Gel. Riding into my thirties, I know very wel that eye cream should've been a staple for my skincare routine--and I do incorporate it starting this year. TBH I don't expect much for any of the eye treatment product I bought--I did my research and dark circles are not that easy to get rid of and some even can't be gone due to genetics factor. Hence, every time I bought eye treatment product, I only aim for it to be the moisturizing agent for my eye area, since the drier it gets, the more wrinkles you'll have. If this product turns out to also be helpful in vanishing my dark circle, I would count it as a bonus. 
4. Around end of March I had another bizarre dream. It no longer comes as a surprise for me, since it's become quite a habit ever since the pandemic hit. (Apparently I'm not alone--NatGeo has even written an article about it, complete with the scientific reason, that I've read since). The dream involved me and him, and his dad, stranded(?) in an airport. His dad took off, leaving only me and him in the crowded airport. We got separated mid-way, and I managed to get out of the airport. Guess what I saw the moment I set my foot out the airport? Dago area. BCA Dago junction to be exact. The city was so advanced that they even had roller coaster as one of their modes of transportation and their MRT has transparent track. And guess what city I turned out to be in? I was stranded in an airport in Santiago, Chile. The End.
5. In the same week, only a few days apart, came along another strange dream. It involved 2012-era 1D (guess I'd been watching too many videos of them and listened too much of their songs) and myself. In the dream, they were about to shoot their latest music video, which was What Makes You Beautiful, in Bogor. Yep, our freaking Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. The set was located in some mountainous area in Bogor in the middle of some old kingdom ruins (I know, it was as bizarre as that). Highlight of the dream: Harry Styles taught me how to dance. Do not picture current hot-and-pretty Harry Styles in mind, but this one was 2012, cute, curly-haired Harry Styles. The End.

That's all for now. Hopefully I'll manage to come up with another list exactly next week!
