Big Big Big

Blame it on the heart, this indispensable thing that beats and makes everything so soft and fluffy. My insides tend to curl and twist in a complicated way that clouds my judgement quickly.

Blame it on this thing that makes my eyes water; makes my palms sweaty. For sure I will say Yes in whatever you say.

I give away so suddenly, with just the sweetness of your voice taking me where I used to be.  Blame it on this heart of mine that is too big for one, the crowd is welcome.
It hurts not to, I suffer to ignore you.

Blame it on the heart why I love them too dearly.
Blame it on its color.  Red or white. Innocent. Pure. Coward. Forgiving. Understanding.
Blame it on the heart. This poor thing in my chest.

 So I just got back from a 6-day trip to Australia and New Zealand, after nine days of being just in Dubai. I lost my KL flight and Scheduling did not put KL in my December roster. I wonder what happened there? It's too bad because I really like shopping in KL and Christmas is coming.   
  Well, I loved Australia. I like finding myself in tiny streets full of secret shops filled with books and unique stuff. I loved having a great range of choices where to eat and things to buy. I loved looking at people and how they seem to enjoy their lives immersed in this beauty. I loved relaxing in the greenest parks I have ever seen and enjoy my sandwich while watching the kids play. I liked it because it's so laid-back but so rich with different cultures. Certainly, it's worth the 14-hour pain of flying there and besides our company is giving us good allowance. Yey!
   Well, it looks like I am celebrating the New Year's in Melbourne. Not bad for a good start of 2013.
    And yeah, I'm back again in Australia next week. Back to Sydney. Perfect for my shopping extravaganza for the holidays.
    I wasn't able to take loads of picture while in Melbourne. I divided my time sleeping and preparing for the next flight. But still, it's been an amazing first time in Melbourne!

Everything Melbourne!

It's 12 hours DXB-Mel...

Looking for the Yarra River....

Surprisingly Sunny in Melbourne today!

Waiting for the Circle Line Tram 

This Lunch...BBQpork :-) 

Oh dear Christmas...

@the City center...A 20-minute walk from the hotel 

it's chilly today ....first day in Melbourne

I found my way to ChinaTown!

Beware!

Bohoo! for Twilight Breaking Dawn 2

        Certainly not the best I could have anticipated. Most of the time I feel like I was actually watching cartoons. It was hard to believe that it was what I've been waiting for a year to see. Well, anyway I guess the only bonus part was to see Bella, Edward and Jacob for the last time.


   I guess going to the cinema was kinda like going there for support and not for entertainment's sake like K-Stew and R-Patz were actually my best of pals. Haha.   since the Twilight Saga was there for me during my lonely pathetic broken-hearted days. I was a megalomaniac Twi-Hard Fanatic when no one's around to cheer me up carrying a paperback everywhere I go. Edward Cullen was my hero. I fell head over heels in-love. Like  Bella, I  had lost interest with human guys and considered vampires were really cool and undoubtedly gorgeous blood-suckers. Oh, please feel free to bite me!


 And last night, Edward Cullen actually visited me in my dream. To bid his adieu perhaps, I will surely miss this epic love story. And still hoping that like them, I will get a "and they live happily ever after" in the end. Kudos!



   And if you don't feel like seeing the movie, come on! just see it for the laughs! You won't get disappointed. Promise.

I think this will be a more appropriate  BD2  poster.  But Still, hands-down to all the cast for making Twi-hards fell-inlove for these past  four years or so...

              XOXO

A day in IKEA

Breakfast or Brunch ....it's 1130am!!!! already!

 Oh Well, our failed attempt to go to the beach at 7am in the morning was rewarded instead by a stroll here ---a Swedish Furniture shop and turned out to be not so bad after all. Furniture-shopping is my"thing" as well. So many ideas to pretty-fy your space and seeing Christmas ornaments made me feeling like a helpless five-year old who still believes in Santa. Oh I just love IKEA. 

feeling IT

Oh those lights again....

very festive dinner table 

Nice headboard idea 

    Can you imagine nine days with nothing to do? Well, I am already at the middle of it in fact. My company   for some reason gave me a surprise. I am not really ready to take it since I am flying around nonstop for the past few weeks and now my butt is freezing in my yoga mat while watching YouTube and Gossip Girl. It's really quite hard to plan my days. I get bored easily. I get distracted easily.

    I am going to lose my mind.

    I'm certainly in-love with traveling. It gives me so much to look forward to. I get more inspiration.

I wish I can do better in doing the things I love to do; art, foreign language, writing, those stuff. Probably that's the reason why they gave me a break so I can breathe and analyze the things in my life that I am taking for granted in a while.

     It's the middle of November already. Time flies so quickly and my favorite holiday is coming not to mention that I am going to be a year older in a few months. I hate it.

     I'll probably crash into my cousin's couch to breathe some fresh air. I feel like suffocating in this house. Meanwhile, this has been a great long weekend...

And celebrating my Mom's birthday this year turned out to be uniquely romantic...

#Purses Love

A girl can never have enough purses...

#BulletProof

Been there, done that, messed around
I’m having fun don’t put me down,
I’ll never let you sweep me off my feet,
I won’t let you in again, the messages I’ve tried to send,
my informations’ just not going in,
burnin’ bridges shore to shore, I’ll break away from something more,
I’m not to not to love until it’s cheap,
been there, done that, messed around,
I’m having fun don’t put me down,
I’ll never let you sweep me off my feet,

Chorus:
This time baby,
I’ll be,
Bulletproof x2

I won’t let you turn around,
and tell me now I’m much too proud,
to walk away from something when it’s dead,
do do do your dirty words come out to play when you are hurt,
there’s certain things that should be left unsaid,
tick tick tick tick on the watch and life’s too short for me to stop,
Oh baby, your time is running out,
I won’t let you turn around,
and tell me now I’m much too proud,
All you do is fill me up with doubt,

Chorus:
This time baby I’ll be bulletproof x2
This time baby I’ll be bulletproof x2
This time I'll be bulletproof x2
This time maybe I’ll be bulletproof x2
This time baby, this time baby, this baby, this time x2

Old and New

 The sun came up, blinding me with its rays. I rolled over the side and found it empty. There's no echo just the crease of what's left of you. The memories used to haunt me like dark shadows every single night. I had my fair share of nightmares, trying to preserve what's lost. Hoping in the morning the bright days will come back. I was glad they did not. I loved and carved the stone we built together thinking it would last until the storm came to wash out everything, leaving me helpless in the rain. Right in there I soak up in my own tears. In despair I lived and in misery I found friends.

I was bruised and burnt out. Flowing like an endless river going nowhere. I was just asking to let it die, let me die there. When hurt was my sustenance to reality, I thought that was the only way to live.

Then I suddenly found strength. I grew back the flesh into my bones. My frail body begun to get better. I found a logical reason to live. Suddenly I started to forget you. While my heart beats for no one I was complete on my own. I had scars from the past. But it's good to remember where I should not be.

After several attempts to let another love to grow back into my life I finally found what feels right. This time it's easy like a sweet melody playing in my ears. The darkness of yesterday were gone and lost. I could not even remember how it feels.

I loved and let go.

And now I am on a new journey.

He's like a breath of fresh air. How his mere touch give me shivers and when he kisses I just don't want to let go. I have wonderful dreams every night. And for the first time after these long years I don't want to wake up  if I am just dreaming.

I love him.
I do.
And I know he loves me too.
This is right for the first time...
