Little Thoughts

Sometimes, you gotta make a little mess  before you can pick up the pieces and figure  out where things belong. I'm not gonna give up. Not gonna lose hope. Everything's gonna be alright. Aja!

Health-spiration

Hey there lovelies.Hows your week? Mine's good, but i had to go to the doctors for some check ups. Well, nothing serious though. I just wanna make sure that everything's fine. hehehe :)

I think good nutrition and understanding your body is just as important (if not more) as knowing how to create a good smokey eye when it comes to beauty! Beauty is so much more than the exterior. Having glowing skin, a healthy body figure, beautiful hair all comes down to how we take care of ourselves.

Basically trying to keep everything as raw and as untouched from it's natural form as possible is key. When you do this, there is no need to count calories, look at fat or sugar content etc.. If you're eating healthy natural foods - it's healthy!

YEY!

Hey there lovelies! Hows your weekend so far? well thanks to Martin Luther King for this long weekend :)

Anyway, I'll be visiting Hong Kong and Macau on Friday and I could not be more excited, YEY! 
Special thanks to my dear bosses who approved my leave, you guys are my angels..lol :)  And to you my sweet thing, you're a total sweetheart--i love you  

For this trip, I'd like to ask all of you: What's your favourite Hong Kong/ Macau spot? Coffee shop, museum, park — I'd love to hear any and all suggestions!


Cheers!

A Birthday Thought

"So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land."

                                                                                                                         ----Peter Pan.

I love Peter Pan; maybe because I want to fly too, or because I love adventure, or simply because I want to stay young.

Apart the yearning to look young is the fervor to hold the innocence we once stick into—those days when we believed that life is beautiful. Those days when we never thought that our playing field will soon be a battleground. Well, no one ever told us that though -- everyone has allowed us to enjoy and then soon after the pleasure was the surprises of seeing the astonishing part of life—Failures, world-weariness, and nuisance do exist. It is never easy to chase a dream unlike imagined.

When I was 14, I always wanted to get older. I want to be 18. I thought that it will give me more freedom, more choices, more fun—but I never thought that it would also give me more responsibilities. And now that my birthday has come ONCE again, I've realized a lot of things. Our life doesn't have rewind or a pause button--we can never turn back time.        

Growing up, at times, is something we wish we can get rid of. There comes a time when we wanted to go back to the unhindered world we once enjoyed during our early days. We sometimes long for those years when we know nothing about fear, when we ask instead of we search for an answer, when the only task that tired us was to arrange our toys in a shelf. It was a less-troubled world. We are free of responsibilities, duties, and obligations.

The  magic word we all want to hear during our  birthdays is “make a wish!”.  And today as  I close my eyes and wish, I have one thing in mind--to stay young. I guess this the first thing we could ever wish for when our hearts are broken and busted, whenever we are blamed, when we are discouraged by life, when we are disappointed by our shattered dream,  and whenever we find ourselves astray amidst of nowhere.

I want to stay young not because I'm afraid of wrinkles, well in a way yes, I hate wrinkles but what I am afraid of is not being able to do the things I used to do as a young person.

I still want to eat as much ice cream or sweets without worrying gaining weight. I still want to stay up late without feeling too tired in the morning. I still want to cry like a baby whenever I get too frustrated.

The idea of flying away to a magical world with Peter Pan is a fantasy of many because everyone wanted to stay young.  Despite my envy to him for he is embracing a world of fun, I don’t wanna live in NeverLand. Ha! Now you find it contradicting, right? I wanted some of the things Peter does not want. I want to be one responsible grown-up, I want a job, and I want a relationship. Peter pan might embrace the joy and wonder of being young but has lost sight of the purpose—that part, I do not want to happen in my life.

Everyone has a purpose and choice. I want to respect them whatever it may be. I have my own and my purpose in life is to grow up and conquer life. I love Peter Pan but I would still choose to be ME.

Peter Pan is not going to fly to my window and will not take me to Never Land. If he will, I will pay a visit into his world, just to experience a different adventure, but I will ask him to take me back to my own real world. I just want to experience how it feels to be free.

"Second to the right, and straight on till morning."  ---   Peter Pan
