Just another day

I think my motivation to write anything stems from reading my favourite blogs. I only ever end up writing anything after getting inspired by some of the amazing blogs that I follow (for exception is when I write to vent off anger of course haha)

Anyway on this mediocre day, I just want to ponder on the decision I have made recently. I decided to visit Europe again next year! It really just came together in a month's time I would say, it was a pretty quick decision that we came to. All thanks to the earlybird sale, my friend and I caught the bait of buying flight tickets to Europe! We will be joining up a tour around Europe, though not to Spain and some other countries, but we will be visiting France and its other neighbours. We will be on the bus for nearly two weeks so it'll be somewhat a challenge I think. I'm up for it, I think we'll just need to unwind and relax in a 'more extravagant' hotel after the tour ends in London. That is only if we can watch our spending and succeed in not becoming broke as soon as the tour finishes.

We will also be spending some additional time in Paris and London pre and post tour. I'm excited about that! It's the best way to actually explore the city from a local's perspective. Not to mention the plethora of local stores/markets we will have the chance to visit! I can't wait to hit up some of the pharmacies available in both countries. If not, all the countries that we will be visiting for that matter. I see this trip as a foodie/architectural sightseeing/skincare and beauty searching to be honest. I don't know how lucky or successful we will be in ticking off the latter part of the brief. Though I have full confidence that by doing a lot of pre-departure research through this world wide web, we will be able to find some gems in a lot of the European countries!

I should probably document some research that I have already found on youtube :)

I'm happy when you're happy too

What is key of being happy? Unquestionably, it's not just from the joyous experience you individually go through. I feel that it involves much more than that. It encompasses the happiness of others you know or may not even know. Happiness is a virus that does not stop spreading. Everything it touches can feel its positive effect too. Though in today's world, everything seems to revolve around our own happiness but it really is such a privilege to look outside our own bubble. And when you do, the prize you earn is to feel the happiness and love around you. It is even possible to feel it through the virtual world where the source is thousands of miles away from you. Anywho, being happy is not a one-man show. Just look around and find that happiness in you.

Eliza Doolittle - Big When I Was Little

Would you know me know me know me
If you saw me saw me saw me
Nothing but hopes and live in the moment
Where we were meant to be

Oh those days don't seem so far
When im flicking through my old polaroid photographs
Me and you you always made me laugh 
Dancing to cassette tape singles
That was big when I was little
Big when I was little [x2]
Just like Malcolm in the Middle 
That was big when I was little

Hey Dad

So this is it.

Si, I decided to take a semester break from university. Quite dramatic for someone like me, isn't it? I think it is the best decision at this point in my life. Things are just passing by so quickly. The other day I was still worrying over finding a good car to purchase. And today came, the time to hand over the money for the car and later today, I was able to take it home. And now on this night, I currently have a car, I am out of university for the moment, I have a clear and strong plan for the future. I know where I have to go, what I have to achieve exactly, in life and spiritually. I love life and everything else in it.

On another note, Barcelona post is still not up. Huff. Maybe it will never come up. Doesn't matter, there's always other adventures to post up here. Til then!

Ciao ciao!

When procrastination kicks in

It's that time of the year again. Back to uni, back to work, back to boring day to day tasks in life. It is only the first week and I am feeling a little discouraged and unmotivated to do the best I can. What is happening to me? It may actually be the worries I have over the work commitment and final results that the students are expected to achieve by the end of this semester. It is the final semester of second year, after all. It makes it that much more daunting if I don't produce great works or ANYthing that I can be proud of by the end of this semester, in that matter. Anyway, life must go on. Let's look forward to a more productive tomorrow.

Ciao ciao!

Back in the motherland

For the most part, I have always thought coming back would always teach me a lesson or two. No doubt, it has but the funny thing is that this time around, I see it as a negative aspect of the trip. I'm not entirely sure on how to describe it but it may be the result of how the society runs over here. A system that I really do not condone and wish would never happen else where. Of course, this is just another one of those utopian thinking I have in mind again. In all seriousness though, I am willing to detract as much as I can from this whatever thing going on around at this place.

It's rather frustrating that in a place you would think you could understand and fit into, turns out to be the opposite. That in reality, you really still don't. I know this postt has been somewhat cryptic but even I am having a little difficulty to describe it.

On the other hand, I will be back to my daily life in a couple of weeks time so I'm really looking forward to that.

Ciao!
