The universe hints,
teases, and slowly reveals
what our hearts will need.


Daily Haiku on Love by Tyler Knott Gregson

Note to self

I think I am spending way too much time reading other's tweets...
I need to take some break from twitter and start writing some decent posts rather than my mindless ramblings...

Note to Self

I would rather be

the loneliest dress

of all the dresses

hanging in the

back

of your closet

than the most loved

most worn

and most gorgeous

dress

in the front

of anyone

else’s.

DRESS

Tyler Knott

Merci Beaucoup!

I am always grateful for all the things that God has given me whether they were happy moments or painful discoveries for without them I wouldn't have known the difference and I wouldn't have gone this far.


What's the perfect beginning for this gratiture post, Thank you very much Holy Father for showering me with a lot of things beyond my expectations, ForI have stumbled quite a lot but then help was always on the way. I once questioned my abilities and had enormous doubt about myself when people let me down but then there was always a moment of enlightenment and miracles just presents itself through these darkest hour.


With more vigor and passion towards life I can't get more excited. I know I am not perfect and nobody is but with the right attiture and a pocket full of prayers I know everything is going to be alright.

There's just aLot of things to look forward to and I can always find something to adhere to whether it's just the most mundane of things.

Thank you very much...

for my family
for my friends
for my health
for bringing me "here"
for the boundless love from everyone:-)

Because I'm a Happy Happy Girl...

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.

i hope they will collaborate soon...:-)

who wouldn't fall in-love, is such a waste...

Just like

the walls in

the cartoons

if they pulled

open my chest

and took a photo

of my heart

they would find

a perfect

hole cut clean

through

in the exact

and precise

shape of your

silhouette.

"anything to make you feel better..."

One thing about Cold Weather

Sure, I love the idea of snow although I haven't experience it myself I think it's beautiful. But one thing about cold weather that I despise the most is my tendency to get sick more often.

And I guess, today it hit me.( Strike ONE.)



Aside from the fact that I missed my friend's party, I don't have appetite to do anything...


I just want to lay in my bed for hours watching videos over a pile fleece blanket...

Because

I am a sucker for poetry and romantic gestures.
I dig alternative music and acoustics.
And I still heart old-fashioned love letters rather than those
abbreviated notes that doesn't make any of my feet to curl.
Those little things you remember and that I have of you
and you wish and you wish if we can look at each other
and we understand what our lips cannot say.

Do you have one of those days when you
dream of having more than 24 hours in a day,
and if only your heart has its tiny little compartments
so there's more room for one
and you choose and you play without getting hurt.
But what you really need is something that will last eventually.

An old lover from the grave
and the feeling you cannot even remember.
You've seen a ghost walked pass through you
and thank heavens you're done with it.

Spring comes and my heart beats faster
as I listen to songs in the radio I think about
how lovely your image has been encypted in my mind
and I feel alright.

I have nothing to hold on to,
But I just believe I'll never ran out of it
when I have so much to Give.

Too

I am
too
little
butter
on
too
much
bread
I am
too
many
thoughts
in
too
little
head.

There’s a folder of pictures I can’t open.There’s so many songs that don’t sound the same.There’s a number I can’t dial and a message I can’t send.There’s a restaurant I can’t eat at, not with any friends.There’s words and names I can only say in my head.There’s a pair of eyes that belong to you, that I can never look into again.”

Hello Thursday! What a Great Surprise You Brought me Today!

Point Me At Lost Islands

"Point me at lost islands. Point me at the sea.
I’d love to know the sound of nothing else but you.

For the life of me, I don’t know
what took us so long, but here we are.
Standing face to face, suddenly
everything makes sense, at least to me.”

I'd sell my spleen just to hang-out with these guys for a day...hahahaha!!!

Meet My Awesome-Awesome Friends!

There's a story behind the tummy she's trying to hide...






Probably the funniest,the craziest and the smartest people I've ever met in my whole life...That's why coming to work feels like joining the Glee Club or something..
Coming to dinner together to send-away our friend Kara since she'll be leaving Singlehood soon has been another story worth-telling.




We were the last people in Saffron, a-must-try restaurant if you'll visiting Dubai.

Saturday was ASIA-ASIA, (like we're not Asian enough )so straight from duty came the feast.
I had too much Lobster that night and Peking duck.

I can't really recall how many times we attacked the buffet stations... what the hell... It's such an amazing night.

I made the booking myself and told them it's her birthday. Expectedly, a birthday cake was given as the staff were singing the birthday song. Of course, it's not her birthday...
We left the hotel in the wee hours catching the night shift. Actually I just came home for a good four hours to sleep and report to work immediately.


The Next One will be a Naughty Bachelorette Party... ( fingers and toes crossed...hopefully our schedule will permit us)

Men and Sunnies

It's only been the first week of the month and yet my calender is almost full. Today right after work, after the bloody flood of departures and arrivals since its the Russian Holiday and the Eid Al Adha for Muslims everybody seems to be squeezing themselves in to our already fully-booked 1359 rooms and suites. Anyway, I always love the adrenaline rush. So, to reward ourselves for another job well done we decided to treat ourselves. We went Duvet and Pillow shopping! We decided to give our beds a makeover. With my dear friend Ran-ran we went straight to the mall and waste a good hell of three hours messing up Home Center and Artikel. Still not satisfied with our girl-bonding moment we passed by Debenhams to check some girlie stuff , and that little did we know that we were both thinking to buy a new pair of sunglasses. I don't really buy one unless I need one which reminds me of one of my favorite posts from CatJuan and I can't help but agree...

1. I go for quality over quantity.

2. I stay with the same one for YEARS.

3. We only part when they no longer help me see ahead.

Well, I am still shopping for both...

We reached our rooms half-past dead and couldn't even unload our stuff. It's been another wonderful day thank you very much.

I can't get more Excited this Christmas! Hahah!

Over a pile of Christmas decor and Christmas Ideas lurking inside my mind, and from the moment I stopped by Artikel last Wednesday, I can't help but be more prepared this holiday season. I haven't been celebrating Christmas for the past four years since I left my home country. And so this year I made a pact with my friends to bring the traditional feast we normally experience at home and get the "true" vibe of the season.

So in tune with my Christmass-y mood I decided to find some music in Youtube. And guess what I found...

My first Love.
Some things never change...

Yes, I was madly and crazily in-love with Taylor Hanson from the Band HANSON from year 1997-2001. My dear Mother, my childhood friends and the walls in my room back home were the living and the non-living witnesses of my delusional and addictive mental state towards this band. Although,they don't play or record music as much as they used to, I will remain a die-hard loyal fan until the day I die.Hahah...
I will tell more about my crazy-fanatic stage during teenage years later on.

This particular song in their Snowed Inn Cd just makes me feel so fourteen again... Even when I cannot comprehend mostly of the words in Taylor's singing-slash-mumbling. Tulsa accent is just way too hard for me.

It goes between...
mmmmm.... paradise, music in my radio, feel like I'm gonna kiss you underneath the mistletoe... and Merry Christmas Baby...and tadadadadadadadadadda.....
*wink*
*wink*
But man, I still dream about this guy even after all these years....:-)

(p.s. never mind the strange female voice that came from nowhere after the band performs...)

In mY List...

Dear October,

Thank you very much for being the best month ever second was August. What can I say, you've surprised me the most. I never really imagine that a detour would be a blessing in disguise.

Thank you for all my accomplishments. Thank you for making me Number One. Now I know how it feels again to be there. After all, I reap what I sow.

And to November, you have to measure up girl...
You have a huge shoe to fill in.


Love lots,
Me.
