Let's blog!

You know how you make a plan and you decide what you are going to be doing every day, you have it all scheduled out neatly, so that you get everything done?
Yeah, that was me at the beginning of this year. One of my resolutions was to organise my time better, so that I find time to do what I love while still doing all the stuff I have to. It sounds great, doesn't it? That's what I though, and it works perfectly, in theory.
Sadly, real life takes over pretty quickly and you get, let's say sidetracked by certain things, be it fun activities, a new job opportunity, or learning something new. To sum it up, life happens. You can't really plan for that. So needless to say my perfectly planned out schedule became pretty irrelevant fast. I'm still trying to find that super-organizer that will adapt to my life, preferably on it's own, ha ha. So that it can keep up with everything I have and want to do.
Wow, quite an introduction to what I wanted to say, which was, my blog has been "silently" screaming for attention, ha ha. So here I am, to the rescue of my blog that I'm pretty sure has been feeling like that kid in the back of the class that eats it's hair and has no friends. Be it, my white horse is missing, also my shining armour is at the cleaners, but hey, those are just details. Sneakers and jeans should get the job done just as well. You see it's Friday, so that means casual clothes *hah, who am I kidding, casual-comfy clothes are a constant in my life*.
Okay, enough of this blabbering, let's catch up! Let's see, work is pretty much a given, started learning new skills, checked out the Adwords conference that brought us the new updates *how awesome was that?!*, kept up with friends and life in general also, my Instagram has gotten a lot of my attention lately.
Let's chat a bit about that, what do you all think about Instagram? Everyone else find it incredibly addictive, or is that just me? I'm pretty much on it 24/7 checking for updates from my favourite 'grammers or just searching for new inspiration. It's also a pretty great platform to make new business contacts. I got to step out of my comfort zone and collaborate with a clothing company, which was pretty awesome! I'm also in the process of planning some sort of summer getaway which might turn into an early-autumn getaway, but oh well, vacation is still vacation. Am I right?
So that's pretty much what has been keeping me busy, what about you guys? Anyone have any fun adventures to share? Or fabulous updates? I'm all ears.
Till then, I'm going to start my friday tradition of a 30 second dance party and get this day started.

How to Survive Rainy Days

Coffee? Yes please!

While I love rainy days as much as the next person, that is permanently attached to a fuzzy blanket and lost in her Netflix queue, I do think that a full week of rainy days is a bit much. Luckily I have a few tips on how to get through one of those weeks.
The first step, and maybe the most important one, is to always have hot drinks around. Be it coffee for the caffeine addicts or tea for the bookworms. Next on the list is making sure you're dressed warm enough. My favourite choices usually include an oversized sweater with some warm leggings and comfy boots. In case you're lucky and happen to have a few days off from work then it's fuzzy pajamas all the way!
While these are all important another thing to not forget are headphones and a good playlist. You can't get through a rainy day without music *you can't really get through any day without music, or is that just me?*. If you're at home order some great food, get under the blankets and just watch movies all day. There's no better therapy than movie therapy.
Now if you have to actually be productive, shutting the blinds might just save you from wasting time at work and not completing your projects. I always get distracted by the sound of the raindrops on the windowsill, so I tend to stay away from windows. Just stick to your desk and focus on your work, try and distract yourself with funny memes or reading the latest news from around the world, get lost in a great article about new marketing strategies or look at travel websites and plan a vacation, or go searching for some cool tutorials, just find stuff that takes your mind of the horrible weather outside. And don't go falling into a seasonal depression thinking about how life is unfair and start remembering all the things that went wrong in your life so far. That won't help anyone, neither you nor your colleagues who will probably be wondering why you're on the floor rolled up as a ball crying your eyes out. Instead turn your office into a music filled hangout and get to work!

Why I Love Fridays (And You Should Too)

Cozy weekend it is!

Oh how I love Fridays! It always seems to come at the exact time you need it to and it always brings friends: Saturday & Sunday. How great is that! I always get excited on Fridays, there's all these possibilities of what I could do in the days to come, adventures or spending time with friends and family, or inventing a time machine, travelling to far away galaxies, befriending a polar bear .. wait, I might have gotten lost here a bit. Anyway, the sad truth is I usually end up sleeping in late and staying in my pajamas all weekend if possible. Not sure if that's sad or just really awesome.
So yes, I love Fridays is what I wanted to say. What I don't love is waking up at 7AM but we all have to make sacrifices I guess. Wow, I might get some backlash on that one, but hey, I'm feeling adventurous for some reason today so I'll go with it, ha ha.
Seriously though, I think everyone loves a good Friday you know the type I mean. You get to work early so you can go home at a reasonable hour, your coffee turns out just right, you find a great song that sets the mood for the rest of the day and not to toot your own horn but you packed a pretty darn good lunch. So basically all is in place for you to have a smooth and easy going day so you start making plans for the weekend *well you guys, I already have mine, Netflix and bed, oh and food! God, I almost forgot about the food, ha ha*.
In any case, no matter what you choose to do come the weekend, the point is Friday got you there, it got you to the door that opens possibilities and gave you a two day gift. I consider that some kick ass gate keeping skills. So I'm pretty sure you all agree with me when I say Friday deserves to be loved and awaited. So join me in celebrating the fact that tomorrow the weekend starts and come get your dance on! Speaking of dancing, here's a song perfect for our celebratory dance party - Shut up and dance by Walk the Moon.

How to Beat the Monday Blues

Coffee should be hot and foamy.

Since we are all trapped in an eternal loop destined to repeat itself, we have arrived at that point again where the bad began. You guessed it, it's Monday! And as you might know by now, I'm not a big fan of Mondays, partly because I wish weekends were longer so I could have one more day of laziness and partly because usually everything that can go wrong, goes wrong on a Monday. Besides, everyone is sleepy and moody and usually the best escape is to put on those headphones and try to get through the day without starting world war three with your friends. Anyone else in the same metaphorical boat with me?
Anyway where were we? Ah yes, the famous Monday blues. Nothing left but try and survive it, so here are my tips on how to do so. First of all, start the day happy = CHOCOLATE! You heard me, forget about your diet and just help yourself out. Next is coffee, no brainer really, this one is essential! Once you have that there is nothing else to do but to hunt down your headphones and look for the appropriate songs. I believe there are two types of scenarios that can happen, you start listening to some happy-pop-dance inducing song, or you go down the path of City and Colour or Thirty Seconds to Mars or James Bay.
Sadly I can't help you with the former, but I can with the latter. So here are some of my favourite songs that usually either get me out of the blues or help me survive it. Walking on Cars - Catch me if you can, now this one is also my ringtone, so it had to be my first choice. Just give it a chance and I'm pretty sure it will find it's way into your playlist. Then there's also City and Colour - The Girl, Casting Crowns - Broken Together , Above & Beyond - Little Something, Kodaline - High Hopes  and let's not forget The Neighbourhood - Sweater Weather. Also, if you're really down there's always Breaking Benjamin - Ashes of Eden!
Those are just a few, but they will help you tune everything out for a bit, until you are properly caffeinated and ready to join the real world. That's mostly all I got, just take it song by song and sip your delicious coffee. Also, if you have a gaming room at your company, spend some time there, gaming always helps! Don't worry, Monday will be over in no time. Let me know what some of your tips are on how to beat the Monday blues. Hang in there.

Ugh, Why Are Thursdays The Worst?

Netflix and chill.

You know that feeling when you wake up and for a few seconds you think it's Friday and you just have to get through the day and you can enjoy the weekend? So you get yourself out of bed somehow only to realise it's Thursday.
Also, don't you hate it when your friends talk you into doing stuff you don't want? Especially when all you want is to stay at home in bed all day and sleep? Then again you can't always stay inside, that's just antisocial. *Or so I keep hearing...*
But then you do go out and end up at a movie theater. What's up with those nowadays? I mean seriously, what happened to good manners and showing some respect? I used to love to go to the movies with my friends, have a good time, see a new movie, eat a ton of popcorn... But now honestly, every time someone asks me to go see a movie there's about a thousand other things I can think of I'd rather do, clean my room, work an extra Saturday, literally anything else. And don't get me wrong. it's not because the movies suck, or because the prices have gone up *well, let's not ignore that completely either*, it's actually because of the other people in the theater. This new wave of teens and pre-teens or whatever they are called are ruining the movie theater viewing experience *is that a thing?*. I went to see an action movie the other day, man they wouldn't stop talking! And I don't mean normal commentary during the movie, or even about the movie, no I mean nonsense and childish gossip. Now you might say, well wait a minute, you're being too harsh. All I have to say to that is: NO! Trust me, I'm usually a very calm person, I don't really get upset that easily, also I don't really care what goes on around me. But if I go to the movies and you sit in the back and I can't hear the movie, in the freakin movie theater because of you, than you know you are being loud and obnoxious.
Phew, ranting feels good sometimes. No worries, this is easy enough to fix, this geek prefers to stay home and watch her Netflix queue! Anyone else having the same issues? I really hope you aren't, if you are tell me what you think we could do to take back the movie theater. Ha ha, have a good day.

Early Morning Wake Up Calls and Weekend Fever

Winter has it's moments.

Waking up early is as much of a reward as it is a burden. And some things even coffee can't fix. Of course that doesn't mean we don't try, after all there is no good morning without coffee. So let's get started with our day shall we?
The good news *and yes I have some good news at this ungodly hour* is that today is Wednesday which means we are only 3 days away from the weekend! Can I get a whoop whoop? *Sorry, I go full nerd sometimes*.
Anyway, every year I try to experience new things and visit new places go on exciting adventures. So I need ideas for this year, what cool places have you been to that left an impression and have earned themselves a place in your memories forever? Travelling is one of the things that keeps me going on early mornings such as this one, or at least the hope of travelling in the future. Making plans and dreaming of places far away. Recently, dreaming of places where the temperatures aren't sub freezing like say -13 degrees Celsius. As you can imagine my fluffy blanket is stuck to me like superglue! But winter does have it's advantages, it comes with a sense of nostalgia and magic. Turning the usual, mundane things into beautiful pieces of art. And I love that!
Also, it makes photography so much more fun. I love sharing my view of the world through photography, somehow it seems to be a window into someone's life without having met them before. I always feel better when I'm behind a camera looking through my lens at how the world is moving and changing. I feel safe there, more like me. Do you ever have that feeling? Like it's the one thing that makes you smile no matter how bad a day you are having? Let me know what makes you feel that way and if you hate early morning wake up calls as much as me. Have a fun and productive day.

Snowmageddon and Arrow fandom

Snowy days require hot coffee.

And a snowy morning to you too! How's that old saying go? "Ask and you shall receive". Well I asked and I sure did receive. The weirdest thing happened, I woke up this morning to what *from my window at 7 AM* looked like snowmageddon! I'm not even joking, I know it sounds very doom and gloom *it is what I was going for after all* but I honestly can't figure out what happened. It's like we went to sleep during the spring and woke up in the middle of the winter. I have this weird feeling like I should start decorating my house for Christmas and go shopping for presents. Ha ha, Déjà-vu!
I guess I should be happy, after all I did say I was annoyed with the lack of snow lately, it's just I didn't expect it to appear out of the blue and take over everything. Oh well, happy to have it.
As you can imagine I got to work covered in snow and in dire need of a hot cup of coffee and my fuzzy blanket, luckily I found both at work.
In other news, Flash and Arrow are back! Let's all take a moment to settle down and let our hearts calm down a bit. Alrighty, now that we all stopped jumping up and down like little kids, how great is that!!! Flash was amazing, can't wait to watch Arrow tonight, I have all these questions like what happened to Felicity? Was that her gravestone in the beginning? For some reason I always thought it would be Captain Lance's. Also, does Oliver get elected as mayor? Can't wait to get home tonight, grab some popcorn and enjoy the new episode. Anyone else get this excited about TV series? Or am I alone in my fandom or weirdness, not sure about these two. Oh well, geeks will be geeks. Let me know what you think of the new episode or if you have any predictions about what's to come.
Also, tomorrow is Friday! I leave you to jump up and down with excitement over that news. Have a good one.

Netflix addictions and hot coffee.

Monday morning routine.

I'd like to say good morning. But seeing as this is a Monday, I can't pretend there's anything good about this morning. So I'll just start with, 'sup? *Yes, I'm aware nobody has said that in a very long time.*
I hope you all had a long and comfy weekend. Mine was a bit longer than usual, 4 day weekend, I highly recommend it! Spent it mostly *as expected* in bed, the usual routine, comfy pj's, food and netflix! Btw, does anyone else get lost in Netflix sometimes? Or is that just me? I mean I was on it the other night and I just started watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy, and by the time I looked up from my screen, the sun was about to rise and I was watching some movie about ghosts and supernatural beings! Not sure if that's sad or scary. Anyone else ever been in this situation?
In other news, I'm a big Instagrammer, not as in I have a lot of followers, more like I love it! And these days it seems all anyone can post is pictures of beautiful snow. Sadly, my city is lacking snow big time! It's like the freaking spring over here. Sunshine and great weather. Not that I normally mind good weather, it's just, come on, we had like 2 days of snow and even those were more like a snow preview to be honest. I love building snowman and having snowball fights. *Yes, I realise I sound like a little kid, so what?* So if anyone is bored of having snow, please do send some to us over here. We would be so happy to take it of your hands, or city, ugh you get it.
Not very likely, I know. But hey, a geek can dream, right? Ha ha.
I leave you know to "enjoy" this Monday as my coffee is waiting for me. Have a good one.

Rainy days and fuzzy blankets.

Voila! Bon appetit!

Nothing worse than a rainy day, or week, to make you feel blue. I enjoy rain as much as the next person, I just usually prefer it during the weekend when I don't have to be productive or think or you know, change out of my pajamas.
Anyway, in other more positive news, I tried the mini quiche recipe, better yet I didn't burn down the house in the process, ha ha. I have to say, it was less work than I first imagined, also the ingredients needed were all things I had in my fridge. So that was a big plus! Not to mention, it was really tasty! So if you have an hour to spare before your party or your movie night with friends, I definitely recommend trying this recipe. The downside, your guests might not leave and ask for more, so be prepared for that.
Wow! I almost forgot, did anyone watch The Shannara Chronicles? I am hooked! If you haven't seen it, check out the trailer. I'm pretty sure that is all it will take to at least make you intrigued enough to watch it.
Now excuse me while I go fill my mug with some coffee and I go looking for my fuzzy blanket. All necessary things to get through this rainy, cold, Tuesday that for some reason, feels more like a Monday. Does that ever happen to you? Monday, Tuesday, they seem to be the evil stepsisters of the rest of the week, determined to ruin everyone''s fun! Oh well, necessary evil and all that. I leave you with my: how to make mini quiche appetizers, video. Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you tried it out!

Late mornings and foamy cappuccinos

Good morning fellow geeks, and non geeks of course. Do you know what makes all the difference between a bad morning and a good morning? You guessed it! For this coffee addict it's a delicious hot foamy cappuccino! Getting enough sleep is also on the list, which sadly I am not getting enough of. I hate those mornings when your alarm goes off and you feel like you've just been asked to work a double shift, after being at work for about 72 hours.
In other news, I am beyond excited that all my favorite TV shows are slowly returning one by one. I am officially caught up with every single one *yes, I have a magic list with all my favorite shows and the days they air, what, that's normal!*
Anyway, what shows do you like? Are you as hooked on them as I am? Nothing wrong with that! Though this addiction may be a factor in my non sleeping problem, but then again, I'd rather watch Arrow or Grey's Anatomy, How to get away with murder, and so on, instead of sleeping.
Besides, I have my trusty coffee to get me through the day! What is your secret to staying awake?
Fun fact, one of my passions is trying new things, be it a DIY project, starting a blog, photography, or, since I love food *I mean who doesn't?*, trying out amazing and fun recipes. You're probably wondering why I am mentioning this, out of the blue? Well I found this really cool recipe for Quiche Toast Cups. Since I am sharing my everyday ramblings with you guys, I will try and document the process of making these myself! I'll keep you updated and show you the results, hopefully. Ha ha. Untill then, I wish you a great week!

New year resolutions and fuzzy champagne

Fuzzy champagne.

First of all, 2015 you were great and you will be missed! *takes a moment of silence, and a big sip of coffee*.
Now, how is your first Monday going? Mine, as it turns out is going great. Got to sleep in, got my coffee and my trusted laptop close by. Also, I get to spend it in bed under my comfy blanket and pretty much sleep the day away. Decided to lock myself inside for the day, binge watch some shows, order some food and avoid the outside world for a little bit longer. *wow, I sound like one of those people that are happy when plans get cancelled. Oh wait, I am one of those people. Ha ha.*
How was your new years eve? Was it everything you hoped it would be? Did you wear your shiny dresses and bow ties? Also did you kiss anyone at midnight?
I always liked that, kissing someone at midnight, like that somehow meant you would be together and it would all be ok for the coming year at least. Oh well, fairy tales will make your reality a bit distorted.
Also, did you make your new year resolutions? I have a few. Last year I had a lot of them and I didn't manage to do them all, so this year I am keeping it simple. Be brave and look for the unexpected, try and meet new people as often as I can, be more social *apparently being a geeky shut in that is more comfortable in her room with her head buried in her devices and books is frowned upon*, and learn something new.
These are the basics that I hope will drive me this year. What are some of your resolutions? Are you keeping it simple? I hope this Monday treats you right, I am off to start binge watching Grey's Anatomy. Don't forget, lots of coffee and you will get through the day just fine.

Shiny dresses and movie nights

Red lips and shiny dresses.

Did you notice how New Years is becoming bigger than Christmas? Have you also been swept up in the immensity of this evening and this, almost forced, need to party? Don't get me wrong I love a good party as much as the next person, it's just that this celebration of starting a new year has turned more into a reason to throw a huge party. Also, for some reason, people feel the need to outdo themselves, for instance if they attended a house party the year before that had about 20-30 guests, they feel this year they have to attend a bigger party or a more extravagant one. I feel this is partly society's fault, influencing people and creating the ultimate "peer pressure" feeling.
I'm more of a go with the flow person, in the sense that, I'm fine with going to a party, or going to a friends place and just hanging out or even staying at home in my cozy pajamas and just ordering some food and watching a good movie or show.
Oh well, does everyone already know what they are doing for New Years? Also what are all of you wearing? I wanna hear about shiny dresses, accessories and shoes!
I am seriously loving the idea of just staying home and watching movies. And before you start thinking I'm this socially awkward person that feels more comfortable in her room than around strangers at a party, no actually, you can think that. I'm kinda like that, ha ha.
This geek will wake a comfy bed over a loud party with strangers any day of the week, especially on a Monday.
Then again, ordering food with some good friends and goofing around does sound fun!
Wherever you may end up, I hope you ring in the new year being happy and comfortable and with good vibes all around you. Let me know what you will be up to and what you're wearing in the comment section below.
Catch you next year geeks and non geeks alike.

Christmaholics season

Christmas magic.

'Tis the season to be happy! Best time of the year is, hands down, Christmas. There's something about this holiday that brings out the best in everyone. All the foolish grudges are put aside, friends you rarely see come visiting and family you usually avoid, for one reason or another, is together in one place. And you're happy about it. Magical time of the year indeed.
It's not just about the presents, and as we get older I think we realise that more and more. You know how when you were little you always wanted all the new toys and sweets and whatever else you thought you couldn't live without. Now, it's more about the things you can't buy. Don't get me wrong, I love gifts, but I think time spent with people who love you or seeing someone that really needs it happy, well those things are somehow better than any present.
I love spending the day at home getting everything ready for Christmas dinner. I think everyone has their own traditions and small things that make this day special to them. Mine of course all involve the usual, family time, cooking with mom, spending time with my dad, skyping with my sister, tons of coffee to get through all of it. Ha ha.
Then there's also the best part, you're home with no other plans, so you can say, do all those things while wearing your comfy onesie and fluffy socks. Or is that just me? Oh well, being a rambling geek in a onesie with fluffy socks is perfectly normal, or so I hope. At least on Christmas it is.
I hope everyone has the best time and spends it the right way, with their loved ones and a delicious cup of coffee. Though, maybe some will exchange that for eggnog? Have a good one!

Twas the day of the party

Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity.

Everyone loves a good party! You know what I don't love? Waking up at 7AM, nope that's not fun and usually not realistic for me. Since today is the day of our office Christmas party, I decided to get a jump on things, hence the waking up at that ungodly hour. So just for some context, I am pretty much sporting a look that could pass as an extra from The Walking Dead, also rocking some loud music and drinking, what I'm pretty sure is an unacceptable amount of coffee. Also, I'm currently stalking the UX Reactions page daily hoping for a new post. So if by any miracle, you guys see this, please PLEASE start posting again, sincerely every geek fan!
Anyone else waste copious amounts of hours getting lost on 9gag or thehumortrain? I mean you start out with one post about a funny looking cat and somehow you end up 3 hours later looking at memes of otters. Aw, otters, I love how they hold "hands" when they sleep so they don't drift apart. Where was I? Ah yes, getting lost on the Internet, dangerous place.
Also, am I the only one that starts watching an episode of a TV show and ends up at 3AM saying just one more and then I'll go to sleep? This could very well be what's causing my coffee addiction. Oh well, I really need to wake up so I am going full nerd - 30 second dance party! Grab your dancing shoes everyone.

Case of the monday scarries

First Christmas gift this year.
Love the coffee candle! ♥

I believe Shakespeare said it best when he said: "to sleep or not to sleep". No wait, that sounds wrong. Sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet. Anyway you know how Sundays you say you are going to go to sleep early so you are well rested and a functional person on Monday? Yeah, I had that plan last night, so obviously I watched movies until 2AM. So this morning was all about changing my mind over and over again, and as if the weather and the fact that it's Monday wasn't enough, my bed was giving me a hard time. Trying to trick me with offering me sleep and fuzzy blankets.
Long story short, I got out of bed and braved the cold Monday morning air, not without my comfy Christmas sweater of course. The really good news is there's only 3 days left till Christmas! Does everyone have all their gifts bought and wrapped? Mine are all under the tree or safely hidden away in the closet. (That's normal, right?)

I love how the city and all the buildings get Christmafied (still not sure that's a real word), all the pretty decorations and the shiny lights, they just make me love the holidays even more. 

You know what I hate though? Christmas shopping, when you go looking for presents and you half way know what you want and half way don't? Then there's all those people, I mean seriously? I honestly believe people multiply during the holiday season, I mean I never see that many people in one place, like ever? Where do they all come from? Have they been here all along? It's all just so confusing and tiring and loud. The part I do love is wrapping the presents, I have this tradition with my dad, we always wrap the presents together, he mostly does all the work though (I'm not the best wrapper, but I make a good wrapper-helper, wrapping intern?). It's one of my favourite holiday traditions. 

What are some of your favourite holiday traditions? I hope they somehow involve coffee and family and fun!

Fuzzy pajamas and a change of plans

Cozy Saturday mornings.

I love being able to sleep till late on a Saturday morning. It's like a small gift after a hell of a week. Then there's the added benefit that you know you've got no plans, nothing to do but stay inside and spend your day watching movies or sleeping or blogging.
I love my Saturday mornings, my hot foamy cappuccino and, as expected from a geek like myself, checking to see what's going on in the online world. Still not sure whether my addiction to coffee or social media is of concern or normal in this day and age.
Sadly, we all know how something that seems perfect can turn on you and make you want to crawl under your fluffy blanket and refuse to come out. As Christmas is just around the corner, my plan free Saturday of leisure I had "not planned", now has a plan. Trust me, I'm as sad as it sounds. (Get it, not planned cause of the whole no plans for the weekend thing, umm..you get it right?).
Loads of Christmas shopping awaits, wrapping gifts and soaking up the overly Christmafied (not sure that's a word), spirit that can be found in all the stores. The good thing about those stores is they have coffee shops so yay!
I really hope you guys have better luck and reading this while still in bed. For those of you that are, enjoy your carefree Saturday,  for the rest of us that have to face the outside world, take comfort in knowing you are not alone and prepare yourself with comfy over sized sweaters, boots and fluffy scarf. Good luck.

Missed alarms, a large coffee please!

Christmas decorations & comfy sweaters.

Don't you just hate it when your alarm doesn't go off? Like it's not hard enough to wake up early on a Friday, now you have the added problem of being late. You know how they say Monday mornings are the worst, sometimes I feel like Friday mornings win that one. I mean, you're already in that weekend mood, all you want to do is sleep in till late and watch cartoons, instead you have to wake up early (if you're lucky and your alarm works), get dressed and face the cold outside all so you can get to work and you know, start working. It's like a lose - lose situation.
Anyway, let's get on our feet and end this pity party we have going. Good news is tomorrow is Saturday!
I love weekends! I have my usual weekend habits,  you know sleep in, watch my favourite TV shows (binge watch is more like it), eat great food, stay in my pajamas all day and let's not forget about the beloved coffee. I think my favourite part about the weekend is that feeling you have, like you are free to do whatever you want, go on a spur of the moment road trip to anywhere or just sleep all day, there's a sense of freedom.
Sadly, to get to that part we all have to survive this Friday first, so let's get ready, gather your courage, headphones, coffee and whatever else helps you get through the day and let's go.

Ramblings of an overly caffeinated geek

To all the Starbucks & Christmas lovers!

Morning routines. Everyone has one, some people like to start their morning by reading the newspaper, some like to eat their favourite cereal and watch the morning cartoons. Then there's us, the geeks, we usually start with our heads buried in our devices and we only emerge for a sip of hot fresh made coffee. (Looks for favourite Starbucks mug and takes a sip of a foamy Cappuccino).

Nowadays with how popular and easily accessible Social Media is and how omnipresent the Internet is, it feels like this could be the age of the geek. Which is fine by me, seeing as how I'm pretty much addicted to Instagram and I'm a big fan of Facebook, let's not get into my feelings about blogs! So, I think it's safe to say, I feel pretty at home in this era. I've gotten used to seeing the world mostly through my devices. I do get the occasional break from what is now my usual routine, when I go exploring, or when I travel. Then I usually get to see the world from behind my camera.

Now don't go picturing one of those people that walk around with their nose in their phones or tablets, that by accident hit a pole and say sorry without looking up to see what or who they hit. (I always find that so funny, apologizing to poles on the street, ha ha.)
So yes, we have entered what I like to call the age of the geek, and it's fueled by love for technology and the ultimate superpower - social media. Also, at least in my case, by lots and lots of delicious coffee!

Geek out!
