This week I’m going to introduce you to my ideal weekend. Now I do all my university classes online, there is no big difference between weekdays and weekends, but I’m going to write about my ideal weekend not regarding COVID-19. So I haven’t been able to spend this ideal weekend in a while but I hope I can soon. Please keep in mind I don’t spend this kind of weekend every week and it’s just my ideal one. (Usually, I lie on the couch and spend my day on my phone.)
Sleep In
Because it’s the weekend I would like to sleep in. I usually sleep at around 2AM everyday so I would like to wake up at around 10AM. (I just watch YouTube and play around on my PC so I’m not busy. There are times that I am studying though…) For me sleeping in until around noon feels like a waste of my day. So I would like to wake up the latest at 11AM.
Eat Brunch
I live with my family now so I actually eat breakfast and not eat lunch, but my ideal will be to eat brunch. In our house we have bread for the weekdays and rice for weekends but I would love to eat pancakes and Eggs Benedict as my brunch. Off course it is great to make your own brunch, but it is also good to eat something that you got the day before. I would like to watch YouTube, Netflix, or some TV while getting my brunch ready and eating.
From here on we will have two patterns.
Go Out
The first pattern is when I go out. I would like to finish eating at around 11:30 and start getting ready. I would like to do makeup I can’t do on weekdays, challenge on some hair arrangement, and enjoy taking time to make myself more beautiful and confident. I would like to finish at around 12:30 and head to my destination of the day. Normally for shopping I go to Ginza or Shinjuku and I will go to Omotesando or Ginza when I’m going to meet a friend. I normally shop alone, so I window shop by myself and take my time. When I’m going out with my friend, we just wander around and go to a cafe to talk. Often I come home at the latest around 5:30 and study or lounge around until dinner.
Lounge Around at Home
The second pattern is when I lounge around at home. What I do will differ day by day, but I will introduce you to what I normally do. The first thing is study. As I wrote in my last blog, I want to learn a new language and get some new qualifications, so I would like to study for that. I normally study at home for the sake of saving some money and I rather make my own coffee or tea. But I do sometimes go to my local cafe. The other thing I do is watch YouTube or Netflix and do some self-maintenance. I normally do my nails or study new makeup technique or take a bath and do some self-care.
Dinner
My family don’t go out for dinner in the weekdays nor weekends, and my mom makes dinner at home everyday. For my family, dinner time is the time when we come together, we always have some music going on in the background and talk about our week. After dinner, our family tackles the dishes all together and at around 9:00 we watch TV. When we watch one show, we turn the TV off and go on to do what we like individually. I normally lounge on the couch and have fun on my phone or read a book.
Sleep
At around 11:00 my mom heads to bed, so I start my night time routine around that time to head to my room at around midnight. I have already posted my night time routine so please go and have a look at that. Not much has changed from that and I go back to my room, and PC time starts. I normally do email checks, blog writing, or online window shopping unless there is no immediate deadlines, I enjoy things unrelated to my study. Then at around 1:30 to 2:00, I go to bed and check my phone for 10 minutes before going to sleep.
This is the end of my ideal weekend. This week’s blog was long but I hope you enjoyed it and thank you to the people who made it this far. It is a rare case when I actually get to spend this ideal weekend, so it has a lot of what I would like it to be. Also, it will differ when I live alone so I would like to get you an updated version when that happens. Next week I would like to upload my goals for my first trimester of 2021. It has been a while since I’ve uploaded anything related to uni or study, so please be excited.
