Be you. Let them be.

Ola Octubre, let this be a good month.

 

-- Diet starts, boosting metabolism, cutting carbs and refined grains

-- Exercise upload, taking advantage of this weather before winter hits

-- Willing to try a new hair do, I'm thinking dip dye ;)

-- Our boxes of belongings arrive in 9days!! I've seriously missed my things, I feel lost without them (oh shoot, i sound like a materialistic lol) so will be extremely busy with sorting that out.

-- Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays! including my Brother and Bestfriend. <3 sooo a load of shopping, and drained pockets.

-- Family is finally getting a new car next week! so will definitely be driving, to get my license asap

-- Car = Dad can fulfill his promise to buy me either a guitar or sewing machine. yay.

-- Most likely starting CWS teachers class, to be able to teach church lessons to the kids at church :)

-- This month is about INCgiving at church, "giving to the community to show appreciation" bring on the hard work.

-- And hopefully, maybe, we'll get some snow starting this month ;)

"We tend to forget that happiness doesnt come as a result of getting something we dont have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have"

And today,
with utmost gratitude,
I thank God for my
healthy,
beautiful,
supporting,
loving
family.

Waiting...

I'm surviving without a mobile phone. I'm going out today,
and I am in desperate need to call you, girl. Where you at?
Sigh, oh well, I shall take advantage of my vanity, while I wait.
Nah jokes, im not vain, not vain at all . . .

Picking myself up #determined

One day, I'll draw/paint like this.

I've been so caught up with missing a lot of my life before I moved here, to Canada, a month ago. And it's complicated, I cant go to Uni here quite yet, I'm not authorised to work, or drive yet. Public transport is a hassle to access. And to be honest, I've only managed to make a couple genuine friends.. although I'm grateful everyone is nice.
I realised I need to find myself without all that, without school, University-life, Work, Chillouts, the exploration, cafe's, city, friends, constant going out. To find myself without my life as it was before I moved here, without the continuous reminiscing and nostalgia. I need to pick myself up. And God has truly helped me realise that.

It started today. I used to draw a lot, and today I did a rough experiment to see if i was still capable and happy in drawing. And gladly I can say, "here's to finding a former love"



Now, I want a sewing machine. lol. But I'll wait til I think I'm deserving of one :P

"Strangest pleasure"

"I find the strangest pleasure, just sitting on these city rooftops

and seeing the lights that go on for miles" (8)

Rooftop view from my former University,

ATC building, Swinburne University of Tech,
Melbourne, Australia.

I'd come up here when I'd have a hopeless functioning mind during studying,

when I'd be stressing out, or to escape from reality,

To be honest, I miss going to Uni.

Being in a different country now, I'm going to have to wait a little while,

to be able to go to Uni again, and I most probably will have to start over.

But I'm glad I had that one semester to experience the

independence, hard work, social side and finding my place.

I found that Psychology wasnt really my thing, as much as it intrigued my learning.



Mayday Parade, and Rooftops.
