A reminder to myself to say a little prayer every day, to thank God and be grateful to be able to receive beautiful gifts like this more often than I deserve. To remind myself not to take things for granted.

This Year To Me.

So, I’ve been less talkative here lately compared to previous years. Guess I’ve shifted from writing my thoughts to capturing moments, or rather, my emotions.

Been discovering my kinda-newly-found hobby and it’s really, better than writing. Since most of the time I don’t know how to write it out, now I just post images. Most images might not mean anything to anyone, but it contains stories behind it, at least to me it does mean something.

Years later, I might not remember why I capture those images or maybe, I’d see different meaning behind it. Maybe I’d feel different.

I don’t know.

Anyway, since I’m in a writing mood, let’s see what I’ve been achieving this year. Can’t believe that it’s already December. So soon!

Early this year, I made a resolution. Or you can say, I recycled my past years resolution. Haha!

Hmm. Let’s see if I managed to keep my promises...

- Going to gym regularly. (I actually managed to keep this routine. Until August. Shame on me. I blame it to work and laziness. Haha. Ever since the Puasa month, we stopped gym. Sigh. Well, bright side, at least we maintained it for 8 months.. heh.)

- Settle the debts. (I actually DID settle more than half of it. But then I took up a lifetime-debt commitment by purchasing a house. *dread*)

- Saving for rainy days. (Clearly this didn’t happen. Refer to reason above. #foreverindebt)

- Passing Level N5 of JLPT. (Proud to say I passed.. ngek ngek ngek! Probably the ONLY thing I managed to achieve this year.)

- To finish reading all the 30+ books (I only managed to finish ONE book. And bought at least another 8? Boo! But I’m going to read more now, I promise…)

- To be more focused. (Meh… no comment.)

I guess nothing much changed huh? I’m still a procrastinator and a liar. *boo!

Still don’t have much determination to complete simple things.

I guess it’s right to say that I’ve never wanted something so badly to be determined enough to achieve it.

Anyway, a lot has happened this year.

Along the way, I’ve learned so much about myself.

I’ve picked up a new hobby, met new friends, discovered ugly human characters, getting out of the comfort zone (almost there..), made new promises to myself, found unexpected surprises, giving up treasures, keeping sweet memories and the most memorable experience was being introduced to a faithful invisible friend and I loved all the stories being told to me. It kinda changed my perspective towards certain things.

I guess we’ll never feel blissful until we lose something precious or experienced a downfall.

I can only wish that the coming years will treat me good.

Disconnected Two.

What has technology made us?  

Smart title eh? *smirk*

I Love Public Holiday!

 

Not exactly my favorite cocktail, but why not? It's a holiday today! hehe.

I Love Celebrations - Daddy's Birthday!

I Love Red Roses!

Pretty hand bouquet Peks bought for her ROM last Saturday. 

I just found out that we totally forgot about it! left the roses on the dining table before it starts.. and then.. forgot... :(

I Love Spintop Ride!

It's really a LOT scarier than it appeared to be. But it's really FUN! 

Reading Again

It's been a while since I last picked up a book to read. Last week, I finally chose a book to accompany me during breakfast. Just want to share a quote from the book that I found inspiring.

"If you don't love what you are doing, do not give your life away by continuing to do it!"

-How To Save Your Own Life by Michael Gates Gill

I read his first book, 'How Starbucks Saved My Life', few years ago and it instantly became one of my favorite memoir (I guess partly because I was a barista at Starbucks too and I felt connected in a way.. haha!). I knew I wouldn't be disappointed when I bought the second book. The moment I started reading, I knew I'll love it as much.


Need to get my reading momentum back. 40-ish books to keep me sane.

I Love Pancakes!

First attempt. Unlike what I expected. Hmm. Kinda disappointed. Will try again next time!

People just don't talk anymore, don't they?
