I want to be the colour of someone's world.


Patience is a virtue.
Enjoy today.
Live in the moment.
Be the best version of yourself.
Trust in God.
Everything will follow through.

An itch to fashion design today.

And what better people to turn to for fashion inspiration than the Olsen twins.
Always been a fan of these ladies, always will be. My biggest fashion icons.
Bohemian, Chic, Classy, Edgy, Bold. They got it all.












Best way to start the day.

With some spiritual guidance and care. Church. My sanctuary, where my strength and faith is renewed all over again to help me through.

One day.



"I need to speak to someone. Not someone - you." -Dexter

..

If you were to leave.

I think if you were to leave, to fulfill someone else's dreams, to complete them... to have found a significant other, I think I may well be lost. I kinda wish now you'd find your way out of my system.

Roadtripping.

I've been on quite a number of roadtrips these past few months. I am not a big fan of road trips, and to be honest, it's because being in a car for hours does not give me fulfillment for my day, my hair and skin goes pretty oily and gross and I ALWAYS get sick after coming home from one. But anyways, they really are a must-experience, for one thing is the views along the way. Roadtrips are never complete without capturing a simple photograph along the road, postcard styles.

Regina to Estevan. (August)


Swiftcurrent to Regina. (August)

Vancouver to Washington, USA. (September)


One thing I loved about Washington, the tree's are so giant, fresh and beautiful.

Regina to Estevan (October)

Estevan to Dakota, USA. (November)

So white, its blinding.

November 5-8, 2011
in Regina, Canada.

Our first snow-filled winter. First few days of snow experience. It's still so surreal for me just looking out the window and seeing it in real life. So white, so beautiful.















Legitimate Autumn.

October 2011, in Regina, Canada.






Dont question it, just live in the moment.

For the one that's always giving me sad faces when he misses me,

I like how it is right now, and I'll leave it at that. We both have our own world's to live. Most day's of the week, we would meet half way to share our stories and time. When together, eyes against screen, that will be the only time I have for you. And when we part, I'll live my life, without letting my deceiving heart trigger thoughts of you. Until we talk again (which is most probably tomorrow), this is your chance to miss me, and I'll try my hardest not to miss you.

In other words, I'm letting this go. The distance just causes a little complication.

Winter lips.

A day of answered prayers.

I was hoping I would be better for Saturday's Grand Evangelical Mission for our church. I was chosen to be a receptionist rather than perform my duty in the choir, considering I'm an "english-speaker". (Majority of people in my locale are "tagalog-speakers", so they needed my help) I was chucking dumps the past 5 days like 5 times a day :\ and they werent your normal dumps, nahh mean? ..anyways I'd prayed I'd get better by GEM. I happened to get better that afternoon, surprisingly, and thankfully.

Well, It was definitely a successful GEM. Our locale has a serial number of 189. We managed to invite 244. Amazing work of efforts, prayers with all help from God.

I also got to meet the sexy brown boy I've been eyeing, and had a good chat with him. He's pretty gentlemanly and charming, but didnt seem really interested nor devoted in church activities by what i eavesdropped him saying to his brother. But Im glad I got to see his true light, now I dont have to keep obsessing over him. I finally also had this overwhelming sense of belonging within the kadbins. Its hard enough communicating with them when they speak tagalog and get all awkward or cautious when I'm around. But tonight was different, with the efforts i usually make to get to know some of them, they finally approached me.

I also heard that in the past 5 years it has started snowing in October. Our GEM on November 5, it still hadn't snowed. Right after everything was finished, and everyone would've been at home, 11:30pm, it started snowing. Our prayers were truly heard and answered. Now to enjoy the beautiful snow. Thank you God, on behalf of the locale and I.

I wanna Vlog.

For times when I'm extremely bored, I'd go on this beauty guru's daily Vlogs channel. I dont know how she does it. She makes me want to start Vlogging. I'll get around to it one day.

Life is Beautiful.

I guess in my earlier teenage years it was hard for me to accept the life I live. The ministerial life, as cliche as it may sound: "I wouldnt have it any other way", I honestly wouldn't. With all the hardship, sacrifices, expectations that comes along with it, it truly is a beautiful life. Travelling to a new destination every few years, I used to see it as putting my life on hold, or leaving my life behind. I would grieve in silence in letting my former ways behind. But now I see it as being able to see the beauty of different people, culture, places I come across. It lets me marvel at the good things in life. It helps me appreciate the things others would take for granted. The high expectations and standards that have made us to seem perfect.. That is added weight put on us. So despite whether they think we make mistakes or not, we do. We're human. I know and understand though that that is the way it will be. There's more to it than what I've just said. I may have exaggerated or underplayed my words, I dont know how you see it. But just remember that whatever you're thinking right now, I will always consider this the greatest blessing.

"If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you." Liz Gilbert, Eat Pray Love
The above quote does not go for my life, but life in general.
Life is a journey, where letting go can be hard, but it makes room for learning, and changing. Everything happens for your own good, but it's how you look at it though. Give your heart to where you are now, that when you do look back, you're not silently grieving and terribly missing, but have an uplifted heart that a moment like that, or a certain person gave you overwhelming joy even for a short while. Finding the beauty in everything around you, finding beauty in the people you come across. Accepting flaws as what makes someone. Pacing yourself for those ambitions you aspire in doing. Giving without expecting in return, and taking in what life has to offer.

Find God. Pray always. "In all your way, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:6

In my earlier teenage years, I used to tell myself that no one will ever understand unless they've been through it. And now I tell myself that no one will ever understand unless they've been through it. Now, the difference is.. my perspective. Go figure :) Maybe I'll write about this another time. For now, I gotta run some errands and canvass for an investment in a guitar. You should go watch Eat, Pray, Love ;) Have a good day xx

Delightfully moving movie.


 
“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
 
“We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy's fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, under him the whole time. Your treasure--your perfection--is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the buy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

10/08/1. Crazy rambler.

(..mm gotta get used to writing the month before the day 10/08/11) #TransitionFromAustralianToCanadian


Anywayssss. Hullo, hullo. This looks so uncoordinated and messy, but oh well.

My brother took these photos,
Went down town today, again. Wait, is it a noun, Downtown? or is it 2 separate words to simply indicate that you're going "down town" ..slash going "City", which is what we call it in Australia. (If you dont know already, my family and I moved from Australia a little more than 2 months ago.) We livin' in Regina, Saskatchewan. OH YEAH! representingggg Regina, yes, pronounced like vagina, but with an R. no vag jokes please goiiiiz.. LOL. dont get me started. But seriously, I guess i got used to not being so immature about it and cracking a joke every once in a while, because people here just dont get it -_-" I feel like a child though when I hear "regina" and my conscience is being all dirty talk about it hahaha. Shut up, listen up, trust me, I'm a mature, sophisticated, young lady with elegance and class. *sarcasm intended* In all seriousness though, I do try to be, i mean, i have to be, cmon. Actually rephrase --- I am that, occasionally.. lol but really I'm utterly graced with an ambience of imprudency? aka being a total silly goose. hmph, makes me miss home #Australia. I miss my friends, who I could be absolutely imprudent around. It just seems like everything is different here, even Canadian's sense of humour. But considering, I havnt really encountered a variety of Canadians, I could be very biased about that. Anyways I like difference, I like having that grasp of "new"... experiencing and observing different people and their lifestyles. Moving around a lot has allowed me to speculate on the beauty in all things new, and in differences. :)

(Is it just me.. or did I kinda transition from one topic to the next so fast and so many times in that last paragraph?)

Anyways, so went down town today with my not so little brother. He was off school, so he decided to spend the day with me, nawwiess! No, really, he just wanted to shop, just cause he knows I have money and it's his birthday soon. -_-" no, but really, we've been having lots of bonding time together, since we're not really "close" to anyone here yet. I mean, in all honesty, dont get me wrong, everyone is super nice and approachable, but yeah, i dno, just most of them aren't really our crowd.. or we're not their crowd :\ ergh anyways, WE. ARE. ALL. GOOD. AND. GET. ALONG. FINE. period? (why is that all in capitals..zz ceebs re-doing) Shop-hopping, one store to the other, browsing for anything my brother would consider wanting for his birthday. And there was shoes, hats, jackets, khaki pants.. yeah you get the point, he's into all that "what to wear stuff".. whadya call it -- "CLOTHES".. right. hehe.. had to think about that :\ lol settle down guys, my mind's going woohoo (somewhere else). There was this store we went into a week ago. Last week, they had this Miami Heat jersey that he was eyeing - last one too. But we didnt have that much money that day, because I left my wallet at church. The things is, I went out and bought it a couple days ago without him knowing. I'm waiting for his bday to give it to him. We went into the store today, and so he's oblivious to the fact I've bought it. He's lookin' for it, and is totally shatteredddd that it's not there anymore.

So yeah cant wait to give it to him, with the rest of his presents! or present? no plural? mm we'll see how generous I am.. haha but come on, the shoes he wanted was $74.99. Oh, but I'm willing be generous. He deserves it anyway, no matter how much we fight, agh. he. is. so. disrespectful. sometimes. Lets not go there! buahah. I shall be off then, I've written a load of pointless chitter chatter. But eh, I'll look back at this one day and be like, "oh dayummmm girl ;)...... ergh you're such a poser :\". I got church bright and early tomorrow as well.

Props to you if you read this far into the post. YOU. ARE. WEIRD. kidding kidding. You're pretty Legend!Thank you heaps! Good night. Have a good day. Whatever may be relevant :)

In commemoration of my heels.


2 and a half months, without any of my heels. They're still back in Australia. aghh. Hurry up and fill up my closet already.
lol, actually I'm fine without them. This kaleidoscope abstract just inspired me to draw these heels.
If I had shimmery shiny heels like this, I'd feel like the luckiest girl on Earth. haha temporarily.
But seriously, I'd love these!

Cheers to better skin.



Hair tied, chilling with no makeup on. Usually I'd say "yuck.. never"
But cheers to skin that's recovering.
I can honestly say I've suffered from acne.
It wasnt so bad before I started using Proactiv last April, 2011
But After using it, I didnt know that all that junk that lies underneath the skin would just shoot up.
(which i found out was part of the healing process)
And I was devastated and depressed because I thought Proactiv ruined my skin. It was horrible, dont ask. Been there, thought it was the end of the world. LOL, nah but it's a selfesteem killer, i know.
I found out my skin was really sensitive to the product, so I was adviced to reduce the usage to 3 days a week, rather than every day. I used other products to use instead, taking into consideration that I have Combination skin.
The bumps reduced as time went by, and eventually my skin cleared up from break outs.
Im just living with the dark spots now, but theyre slowly disappearing. very slowly lol.

Know your skin guys. As long as you figure out what works for your skin then you're on the right track :)

I may be lame and silly sometimes, but C'mon..



Current Favourite: Bold'n'Blue Satchel.

Materialistic moment.
So goiiiizzz, I gotta share with you my new and official favourite item.
I've been wanting a Satchel Bag, (or whatever you call it) for a while now.
And considering that i love, love, love statement pieces with bold, solid stand out colour,
I just had to purchase this,

From D-Fusion. $35.99, from $69.99





I was gonna put together an outfit, but my Pj's are way too comfy, I seriously ceebs.

Macho Gracias ;)

Olivia Palermo's style.

Although she's very neutral with her colours, and I do like my colour just popping out and bold, I love how she's got Simple, Trendy and Sophisticated wrapped all around her stylin'
