#thoughts

I can tell that I can be the most positive person in the world. But there are just those times when a sudden shift in my daily normal routine can bring me stress. They are the things that i simply cannot control. And I am left with no power but to just change how I think. Sometimes it takes 2-3 days to finally get back in the zone. Sometimes the thoughts we allow our minds to entertain are simply even far from reality. Mostly it's our imagination that takes over. I realized I am just human after all. If I fail to be affected that means I fail to give a damn as well. Like a small kid, I used to hide under the blanket when dark settles in the room. In this ripe age, I still hide under the covers when I feel afraid, only this time I chant with a prayer.

It's the significant things in our lives that affect us most. I think about my loved-ones most of the time. There are times when I can't help but worry about the future. How I see myself five years from now. Working and not giving up my dreams.

There are times when jealousy comes crawling. I know it does no good . I am a confident and self-sufficient woman. I can achieve anything where I put my heart and soul into. There's no need to be afraid. I am far from perfect and I am not the most beautiful person in this world but I can make my life and others lives beautiful. It's human to compare. And I should not be shaken. If we know our worth, we know what we deserve.

Dear melbourne,
You never fail to give me shivers down my back...

Thoughts on this windy day...

Last night I was feeling incredibly lonely. I was about to finish my book but decided not to, since I don't have anything yet to read right after. And I ended up re-reading The Power by Rhonda Byrne and Miranda Kerr's Treasure Yourself. In an instant I felt so much better reading positive affirmations and positive tips for positive mind. When loneliness starts to creep in ( from time to time) it comes handy to have some of your favorite books nearby.

Been out and about. Hardly even got the chance to catch a breath. My reserve month seems like extending to a never-ending roller coaster ride. Just when I thought I got everything figured out, I realized that the Scheduling People can do just about anything and everything in my Roster. So I got pulled out to do a Beijing flight. With hardly any sleep I board the aircraft half hallucinating. I was just so grateful that the entire crew were so nice and the passengers just dive into coma-like sleep which made everything in my case a little big convenient. Of course, Beijing is a great destination for shopping. I burned all my allowance to buy stuff that we will need in our upcoming vacation. Unfortunately, my bargaining skills suck big time. My crew friend Pranita spent 50% less than mine and bought stuff practically close to nothing. Damn this Chinese store clerks! Why can they just be nice when you haggle? No need for intimidation. And yet, I still love shopping here!!!!


Top tips for Staying Healthy
-Miranda Kerr

Been following her since VS days. And I can't help but secretly wish to have the kind of body she has. So here below are some of my favorite things I emulate from her...

1. Focus on filling your body with nutrients instead of counting calories.
2. Fresh food is the best, so try to avoid processed food and artificial sweeteners , colors and additives.
3. Supplement your diet with a nutritional product that works for you.
4. Try as much as possible to use natural and/ or organic skincare products and remedies.
5. Establish a daily routine. For me that's body brushing, twenty minutes of power yoga, affirmations and having a shower to my favorite song of the day
6. Sing, dance, smile and laugh. Nothing makes you feel so blessed as a big belly laugh. It is a great medicine and it rejuvenates the soul .

I've been spending so much time engrossed with my recent book purchase. It seems that I will finish the Trilogy tomorrow and I have to come up with something to keep me occupied.

While browsing Pinterest and YouTube for inspiration I happen to click a video that just somehow automatically give me the boost I need.

I am really grateful for the wonderful life I have. There were times though that I just can't avoid to miss my mom obsessively. She's always in my dreams. And most of the time I wish I can just call her on the phone and ask for advice. My dad is still a ray of sunshine. His text messages in English just crack me up instantly. I always love his light, carefree attitude. Truly, without my wonderful parents I wouldn't be the person I am today.

Everybody needs somebody. Dad worries if I miss to call four days in a row. Living alone can be lonely and painful sometimes and to have just one person who will never fail to remember you is really a treasure. We cannot simply deny ourselves the luxury to love and to be loved. It's an incredible gift.

When I feel really down and confused I hurriedly go and open my bible. It's a quick reminder for me how much God loves us and how many people love us and how much we're willing to do for those we love.

I am happy to have found the love that inspires and strengthens me. Not a long time ago, I can settle for anything just to feel good. Only when I understand God's love that I realized that He never wants me to settle for less.

I am blessed to have my awesome loving family. I am blessed to have an incredible loving partner. I always happen to remember that we can only give something that we have, and you indeed cannot love without being loved first.

I hope you get a chance to open your bible today and see how blessed you truly are.

Have a Great Weekend!!!!

#weather update

The weather is changing rapidly. Winter is just around the corner, not really my favorite. The cold spell normally gives me endless colds and my weight drops by default. Growing up in a tropical country we only deal with the extreme humidity during summer and the constant flooding on monsoon seasons. In Dubai, it's summer almost the whole year 'round but my job entitles me to experience a great variety of weather conditions. I happen to catch a mild case of a flu. As much as I don't want to get the flu vaccine I just might have to. I think it would be better to get sick one time than suffer every time.

My right ear is blocked.
I see it like a blessing in disguise. The high level of noise in the Crew Stand by Lounge has started to get the best of me....
