my beautiful reality
Ought to be asleep to be in good shape for flight but I’m still running on caffeine! Overdosed as usual. What’s new. Day out with my one of my favourite batchgirl Dia and I’ve found my favourite coffee fix! Affogato – espresso with vanilla icecream at 1-Caramel Dessert Boutique! Talking it out, making new plans…

Carpe Diem
Seize the day. “It doesn’t matter what you did or where you were… it matters where you are and what you’re doing. Get out there! Sing the song in your heart and NEVER let anyone shut you up!!” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

[THAILAND] oo1. ISLAND AND THE CITY (Bangkok – Ko Samet)
The minute our home-bound aircraft took off, I missed Bangkok already. Even with my infected tummy hurting so badly from seafood poisoning, the land of a thousand smiles can’t shake me off. Thailand, I will be back!! The amount of insane things we did on this trip was kept to a minimal We capped it…

rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

I can finally lug my huge pink luggage out for some foreign air) Bombay Perth Haneda – Tokyo Jakarta Auckland Manila Denpasar-Bali Bangkok (again) New Delhi I seem to have an unprescribed affinity with Asian sectors. Not that I’m complaining! (: Fall in love with whatever you do, there will always be…

the fields are frozen gold
As though ten winters have passed since we arrived, thin ice beneath our heels, snowflakes in our breath. Lucent white in ten miles’ sight no sign of impending summer. Yet somebody dreamt of this perfect world. Such a waste of lush green pastures every leaf chilled to the very spine – botanical shards of piercing ice.…

keeping passion at bay (or surrendering blindly to it)
“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path. No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow…

vividly awake in every sense
“Time to leave now, get out of this room, go somewhere, anywhere; sharpen this feeling of happiness and freedom, stretch your limbs, fill your eyes, be awake, wider awake, vividly awake in every sense and every pore.” ― Stefan Zweig, The Post-Office Girl

be free
“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.” ― Maxim Gorky, The Lower Depths and Other Plays

with every touch you fixed them
It’s in the stars It’s been written in the scars on our hearts That we’re not broken just bent And we can learn to love again

hypersensitivity kills
In the long run, allowing circumstances to rid themselves proves to be a healthier emotional choice of being Whatever happens up there stays up there. P.S Releasing helium balloons kills whales, dolphins and pretty sea creatures wherever those plastics go. Saddening how aesthetically pleasing images like these hides such atrocious backlash

if you can be faithless
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. ― Oriah Mountain Dreamer

it doesn’t interest me…
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for…

much more good in it than bad
“At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough, and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.” ― Lemony Snicket

point blank
“Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It’s a choice.” ― Emily Giffin, Heart of the Matter

totally worn out
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” ― Hunter S. Thompson

camera obscura
“Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow. Carl Jung called this his shadow work. He said we never see others. Instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them. Shadows. Projections. Our associations. The same way old painters would sit in a tiny dark room and trace…

Well-spent weekend and a fresh new start. I really appreciate Warm caring gestures of goodwill when the person didn’t really need to… Just a quick call All good.
