I've been thinking of what to say after my recent trip, but all I can think of is, I'm so happy to be olderrr and just be alive! It's bizarre! Like, I am really ecstatic at being where I am now 😜 I just came back from a week in Bali with the first few nights alone, and was then later joined by some friends and family. Yes, I love my alone time - no, I ADORE MY ALONE TIME. Partly because when I asked everyone to do Batik painting class and cooking class with me, either none of them wanted to or don't want to spend money on it or some shit like that so I was like - fck it, I'm going to do everything I want. So I did. Doing everything I wanted. Like I'm always privileged to! 😀 Me with zero pants. I did what many any young woman would do when traveling. Eat, sleep, swim repeat. When I was in Ubud, I swam nekkid underneath the stars, cold, but the sound of fluttering leaves and bugs honestly were music so it calmed me. I could even hear prayers - it w...

Has this been one year ago?  Oh don't remind me how terrible I am keeping up with the time. Oh wait, it's me reminding myself. Since Denise was getting married that weekend , it was only right that her sister and her best friends sort out a hens night for her. Candice (sister) did most of the planning, and buying - we came only a day before the party so we could only help doing the things on that evening itself. Like. Making a penis like dessert, chocolate covered banana and marshmellow. GENIUS. Turns out, it was really delicious toooooo. Just, like all things long, avoid eye contact when eating. These things were so good, we couldn't help but eating them halfway through while making them. Look at our sprinkles covered bananas!!!!! The place was an extension of a private area comes with kitchen and outdoor area too. The long table was sorted for us, so we basically just took some time to prepare dining setups. ^More penises shape like straw...

Hi folks, I'd rather spend my time trash write in this space then scrolling on FB/Insta cause I'm a blog fan like that. It is also a make-believe that I'm actually doing something I love as a past time which is writing. I also treat this place as my photo album, caption and stories and stuff. Except my English these days. Terribly influenced by social media and I listen too much to rap and rnb (I blame Drake)..... Is it just me or has it been January, February la la la la ------- AUGUST!! F. Where did the rest of the months go? 💨 But first an aged, filter-less, update selfie of me I tried this hobby lobby challenge but got super shy went people started walking around hahaha THIS YEAR, I SAID NO TO MANY THINGS!  Wohoo, a huge achievement for an opportunist like me. You know doing out of the ordinary by NOT TAKING OPPORTUNITIES. For the first 6 months of the year, I have slept 👉A LOT MORE, and 👉 read a few lines from books more GOD forbid I picked up t...

I see myself as an energetic and vibrant person. A blanket word for all things the two words may carry. To be able to do many things at one time, always keeping a positive attitude for the most part and being able to find resolutions on difficult issues. This year, I found myself having shifting energies within me and I'm writing it down. I wasn’t sure it was even possible without me acknowledging them, what it entails?? or where it came from but it IS happening. I am no longer hasty. I find this as the biggest shift in me. These days I see opportunities as wrapped candies in a chocolate box. I had to pick the ones I really wanted, instead of wanting the entire box. I no longer find myself taking every single opportunity I see. It was really the case for me in my mid 20s. Now some people might see this as “lost opportunities”, but there are far more important things I value right now – which I will tell you more. Earlier this year contrary to probably everyo...

99% of the time, when I enter my house I walk straight up ahead to my bulky 15 inch television, turn it on, and untangle one by one of my clothes so that by the time I reach the bathroom, I am stark nekkid and ready to bathe. 99% of the time, I am not bothered of what's on it. I just needed that buzzing sound, that's battling with the beetles' sound outside, so I don't feel completely alone. Living alone is the most exciting, and most dangerous thing in the world. Especially for someone like me, who forgets almost everything and - by everything I mean the iron, the stove and the heater all together at one time. Not only is it expensive to live as me, it's also hazardous. I know many friends, and families and online apps have been trying to get me to go out there (which I occasionally do in between 6 months), but orchestrating something in this department is not really my thing. And I mean, by NOT. Whenever Jazz is around, I would hang out with her and hear al...

One of the most important thing that has happened to me this year, is self awareness. This is going to sound like self help, but if you're in your late 20s and need some (any) inspiration, you might just enjoy this. After all, I am 20 something as well. With similar if not with the same dreams as you. This will sound like a broken record, but the past few months have been very difficult. I cannot reiterate enough. Both physically and mentally. I went through severe stress, which I knew was so severe because my body would literally shake in pain in the middle of the night. I know my day would dive to shit-hole the moment I wake up with a severe head pain, mainly due to overthinking. One of the most vivid times were when I begged myself to sleep because I have another long day the next morning and I needed to be up early. Rewind to a few years ago, I would only take this as stress and continue my life again. But this year, I fully embraced it and acknowledged it.  I went ...

Had to get a lot off my chest lately. The couple of weeks have been very painful for me, mainly because of stress.  None of that ex-boyfriend BS, nor loneliness (possibly – but right now I’m certain that it’s mainly due to stress). It’s a broken record I know and that every other week is a story of “how much I have to do” blab bla bla that I try to NOT say those words when I’m with my friends or family. Even I get sick and tired of myself. But alas, complaining is too easy. (So I do it again so casually like drinking water). FML. So the past few weeks have been one of the worst. And I’m writing it down, and telling everyone especially myself. I am building a house from scratch This was the main bane of this episode in my life. I would love to share with you the happy pictures of before and after like the Astro home channels do, but that wasn’t the complete truth. I struggled. Not renovation, nor extension. I am BUILDING an actual house  from...

If I had not known my brother and wife Anastasia, I would think that their wedding was the most beautiful I've ever experienced 😍 But because I know them, it became 10x more beautiful 😌 Because I knew their stories, I danced carefree, I revel in their pursuit to start a family, I took part in the process, and because I know I will grow with them.   ^Screengrab of the actual day wedding day
