Things That Make Us Happy

Finally I solved the problem of Maria! I mean..I finally solved the problem of my missing share buttons. Thanks to the blogger forum, some kind soul has posted the answer for it. Anyhoo, you can now share my posts to any social networking website and drive traffic to my poor unread blog! hahaha..


Oh yes, I love tweaking my blog because blogger always seem to come up with something new :S and tonight I came home and I'm like..'whalamak?!' how do I nagivate the page? They changed the layout and suddenly I feel like a blind woman trying to navigate my way around. Needs time getting used to it.


I've been ranting about my poor sad life and the weekend had been so 'fantastic'. In short, I lost money, had to use money reserved for my bills so that my family and I don't starve this week and I just felt like I lost a whole lot of motivation in my life. But I guess that is life in general. Some moments are good and some moments are simply so bleh. 


Yesterday I thought I would strive to be happier since happiness lies in our hands. Life is about choices. We can choose to be happy or we can choose to continue being in a sad depressing state. Anyway, life DOES have its moments like when you get something new, managed to buy something at such cheapo price and still looks good on you (don't forget that cheap doesn't mean MUST BUY) and even something nice to read. 


I share with you some pics taken over the weekend...









My friend made laminated frames of me and Nutty from a photoshoot we had a few months back. One of the pics, I used for the banner on the blog even before I got the actual copy, heh..


I look fat but oh well, I got praises for being so sweet and pretty. I loike..but of course, I beg to differ on that. My friend Nutty hardly wears makeup and I'm just dying to put on makeup for her one day..hehe...but once Snow puts on blusher on her, she totally looks so radiant!


I admire her coz she can really look good but we're the type who can walk out of the house almost barefaced. Being too made up all the time can be boring and it doesn't really show the real you. I know we must always look impeccable but that can be so tiring and time consuming having to put loads of makeup all the time and hardly reveal how we actually look like. There are a lot of beauty junkies out there (in my defense, I still think I'm not though I love love love reading and watching on make up and its applications) who are such pros but a pity, they are so consumed by it, they hate how they look sans makeup. You shouldn't hate your look :) you should learn to embrace it.


Enough blabbering..haha. Anyway, you will also get to see my new bag all the way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It looks like a balenciaga city bag which I love but I can't get the real deal coz it's too ex. If people ask, I won't say it's a balenciaga but rather, inspired by it.


I told you I won't get that much bags so when I do get one, I make sure I get one that I would really like. Simple as that. Even clothes. It's called selective shopping. Saves money too, like how over the weekend I got two new tops, one that costs $10 and the other $15.


Alright, hope this is a good read for ya!

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
