happy

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Hear, hear.

till next time

It's always sad to see another fellow friend at work go. I pretty much keep to myself a lot at work, so meeting people with common topics seem like a rare chance. Not to mention my company has possibly 90% of the older generation, so there. And honestly, groceries and are hardly my kind of talk so spare me. Ah well, I'm just really waiting for my turn at some point soon too anyway. Le sigh, work life woes.

AND. Check out those ginormous eyebags yo. I sure am lacking in sleep these days. I blame it on YouTube, I'm addicted! I follow quite a whole lot of people and watch them endlessly. I really have nothing better than to do in life. I need more hype. I need more adventure. I need more time. Okay back to work (boo), ta.

TGIF

Finally the weekend is here again, hoorarah! Man does time go by faster each time I hope for the nearing weekend. And guess what? I'm bored. Again. To such point that I absolutely had to take a shitload of self shots during work. Yikes. Oh well, let's see how I had my fun.

Hah. What a shameless git. Happy weekend people! x

touch of words

Tim and his partner, Bill, had been together for six years. One morning it all ended. “I really have never talked to anyone about this,” Gunn says slowly. “There were two major things that happened. The job advancement that I thought I was going to get, I didn’t. But the biggest blow was the complete erosion of my relationship. It was abrupt. It was like a surgical strike. I still have a big raw spot on me from it, and that was 24 years ago. We were watching television in bed, and he just turned to me and said, ‘I don’t have the patience for you anymore.’ I said, ‘What do you mean? Do you mean you want me to leave?’ And he said, ‘Yes.’ That night, I got all my stuff together and left.”

It’s here that Tim stops with the story, his voice wavering. “I’m about to break down,” he says before taking a long pause. “I’m not gonna go through it again. I’ve never been in a relationship since and I never will be. It was so devastating that I can’t possibly conceive of being more emotionally hurt and scarred than I was by that. I still love him, and I haven’t a clue where he is now.

out of control

So its been some time since I last wrote here again. Besides the last update of my Japan trip last year, I've yet to upload on my Bali trip from early this year. Bah, I'm really getting so lazy at this. But oddly therapeutic at times too. Oh blog what am I to do with you. I'm fickle like this, shrugs.

Into the mid-month of March already. Time flies. No changes to the daily usual. I've been out and about, sick, and shopping way too much. This month has been the absolute bomb since ages. I've been eating out a lot too, so that counts to the additional dollar bills spent. Splurges splurges splurges, shopping frenzies have been (extra) addicting of late. It seems like shopping alone could possibly be more dangerous to the wallet than I thought, not to mention my never-ending love for online shopping. I'm not sure but I've been obsessed with make up lately. I mean I've always been into them, but just the basics y'know. The other day I bought myself two new MAC eyeshadows. Thank God for vouchers, I bought another MAC kohl pencil too. Spending too much, saving too little. Last week I actually rushed down to town to get my hands on the Nars Happening Eye & Cheek Palette (j'adore!) as lusted and previously mentioned. So happened that Tangs was having their 12% rebate event, so I'd like to think that my expensive palette was fated to be a worthy score.  After which I scooted off on a 15 minute sprint to class for hot pilates. Oh, did I mention about taking up hot yoga again? Well, I scored this awesome deal on Groupon, ten sessions for 42 bucks. Like, seriously. Too good a deal to miss. I love a great bargain, who doesn't duh. So yeah, my first class started last week and it was pretty awesome to sweat like a pig again.  But of course, I totally sucked at it since giving it up for so long to habitual swimming instead, I was panting like a dog by the end of class. Liberating though, I have this sickening love for aching of muscles. And before I end off, I finally did a new set of gel nails yesterday, for friggin' 30 bucks. So so cheap, and money rollin' deep. Love.
