Embrace the unexpected


Only using this as a portal to voice out my feelings and to keep track of my happenings.
Went way out of my comfort zone to apply for something I've always wanted to do and I am indeed glad for this experience. New hair to welcome new adventures of the future. Glad to have met these wonderful girls on this amazing journey & I hope it wont be the last.

Paradox of our time

@weheartit

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. 


We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. 


We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.


We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. 


We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. 


These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. 


Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.


Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. 


Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.


Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. 


Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.


Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.


And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

Isn't she lovely

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love

Hungry Chimps





Out on the ocean, diamonds of sunlight danced on the water
-Mitch Albom

Cafe located along Prinsep street hidden at the end. Would never have noticed it if not for that adorable chimp face! Wonderful ambiance and atmosphere for a chill-out session :)
Satisfied!


New beginning, new environment.
Rather intimidating I would say.

Addicted to the sun :)

No reason

My trust in you is so vast, I can't seem to find its origin.

Trust (n)
belief in something as true, place confidence in.

Brunch, Wild Honey

Brunch at Wild Honey. (Last week)
I'm totally a brunch person. Wouldn't be able to wake up properly for breakfast so we decided to settle for an all-day breakfast menu.





Sushi Tei for dinner
Too full from the 2 waffles I had for lunch and tea break. Grilled squid anyone?

Concoction of truths

 Every year, the memories I have of my father become more faint,unclear and distant. Once they were vivid and true, then they became like photographs, and now they are more like photographs of photographs. But sometimes, at rare moments, a memory of him will return to me with such suddenness and clarity that all the feeling I've pushed down for years springs out like a jack-in-the-box.
-Nicole Krauss

This I can relate to. I miss my mom.
Love. Cherish before you regret.
Happy Mother's Day.
