There's No Rush. Hush Hush.

Photos from an outing with the sibs and cousins few days ago :)

Yesterday my baby sis and I attempted to fly a 15minute-homemade kite. It never made it to the sky :( But it was hilarious. I felt like a kid again. Lil' bro was there to support us with more laughter. Tee-hee. The kite fell into the sea and got soaked. Aahh but all the laughing made up for the failed attempt! We're gonna try again tomorrow. Maybe. Whee :)

p/s: There's gonna be a lot of photo log posts for a while. Still a bit caught up with some errands. I'll manage a few art posts as soon as I can!

Christmas & Shooting Stars.

Hello :)

I hope you dears had a lovely Christmas!

I finally get to take a break today from all the busy-buzzy-ness of the past week. But this final week of 2009 seems to be quite packed as well. Huhu. Well today I finally have the time to post an update. Hee.

Christmas was a small gathering at my grandparent's this year. Something we haven't done in a looong time. It was nonetheless merry even though there wasn't the annual planned activities. We had guitars and aspiring singers (ahem!) singing oldies and carols. A scrumptious meal. And loads of whimsical laughter. The cousins and I even managed an hour of stargazing. We saw two shooting stars! Hee.

On Christmas morning we (a family troop of eleven) had a small hike to Aki and Nina's fruit orchard to hunt for some tarap, durian, and rambutans! Fresh fresh mountain air~ :)

Later that late afternoon we did some cycling rounds. It was sooo fun! I haven't cycled in ages...! We left that night then left again at 5am the next morning for another 2 hour ride to a wedding... Well that's all for now. Will continue again in the next post! In the meantime here are just a few snaps taken at the grandparents :)

Have a gorgeous week peeps!

Making Pancakes Are Therapeutic.

Well for me at least :)

Few weeks ago I suddenly had the urge to make pancakes after being struck by a lovely memory of the good ol' morning breakfasts I had back home. I have always been a breakfast person. I love it when I can take my sweet time to enjoy the first meal of the day. Especially when the sunlight is still shy and the air still lingers with a little midnight chill. Breakfast is a ritual. When I'm not in a rush that is.

Lately I found that this pancake making thing has been quite therapeutic. I don't know why but there's a jolly beat in my heart and I'm practically humming my way through pancake flips! Haha.

OK, so this may not be the prettiest pancake you've ever seen, but it was still yummy!

Honey, is ESSENTIAL!

Dear lovelies,

I know I said I'll be posting lotsa updates once I was done with the projects and all. But obviously there hasn't been much of an update going on. I still had lots to do it seems and even more so now since Christmas is just around the corner! I will be flying back soon (!) so perhaps you can expect some holiday updates....hmhm. I'm currently going through a tough period right now... but I'm determined not to let this crush me. I've got no where else to go but forward. Pray for me, dears! Anyway, thank you for dropping by :) Please keep checking for updates ^o^

This morning I enjoyed my cup of green tea with toast and some cookies. At the last sip I was about to open my blog when I hit the wrong link. I was directed to my old blog. I let the page load and that's when I noticed this comment:

I know it's silly but it made me laugh. Tee-hee. Perhaps it was the green tea kicking in. What a nice way to start the day :)

Stuck.

Guilt. Fear. Insecurities. Anxiety. The heart is crippled. So is the mind. It's not a phase. Phases don't take a year do they? I don't know. Turning a new leaf has become routine. You walk the straight path 7 out of 10 times. But it takes only ONE time to screw up. And you find yourself starting back at square one.

Do you keep walking the straight path? Or do you give in to all the non-believers who have always waited for the day you falter? Or perhaps those who have lost their faith in you? It's worse when that lost faith is your own.

Oh, what now? You keep trying but no matter what you are judged in black and white. There is no room for 'because', 'but', or 'you don't understand.' The jury is also sick and tired. But you won't give up. You don't go roll in mud just cause you accidentally spilled coffee on you favorite shirt do you?

Despite being reduced to dust countless of times, you suck it in and accept. Owning up to your flaws. Owning up to the crimes you're guilty of. or even the ones you're not. The world continues spinning. Just don't go to bed angry.

I have a goal. Gotta keep going. Gotta. keep. going.
