Halfway around to come full circle

February is going to be my new January.

Come away with me

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me

Vanilla Skies & Runaway Dreams.

As i step off the plane and set foot on the tarmac.
I look up the sky, took a deep breath and i knew just where i was.

I was here, where the memories are abundant and kept close to my heart.

How i longed, craved and dreamt about my return.

Every time i leave, it was as if a part of me is left behind.

It was even sweeter that i was celebrating 23 years of my life here.

Here where laid back afternoon and glorious beaches beckons.

Where the sunset never fails to take my breath away and where warm, glistening sun reflects off my skin.

To come back to familiar friendly faces and absorb everything that the island has humbly offer.

I miss the feeling of doing absolutely nothing yet enjoying every single minute.

Here is where i have the chance to watch the world slowly go by and enjoy life as it is.

I am thankful for all 23 years that has been given to me and for this very day.

Even when there wasn't a cake or candles or wishes to be made, mother nature gave me the best present ever.

Thank you my loves for having me in your thoughts. It made everything complete..

19 pleasures

So many of life pleasures are decidedly simple. It's all about getting back to basics and enjoying pure unadulterated happiness.

peanut butter sandwiches

handwritten notes

cameras with actual film

looking at old pictures

a long conversation with a good friend

baking cookies

the randomness of dreams

smelling nice

a great cup of tea

chocolate milk in a carton

fresh, clean bed sheets

having a good laugh till your side aches

walking barefoot on grass

long drives down the highway

swinging on a swing

dancing like you’re crazy

receiving an unexpected compliment

laying back and watching the stars

being in love..

I’m down to the last thought in my head

Seven days feel like a lifetime.
As i sit here carefully arranging my notes, three of my favourite pens by my side.
The sky is grey and the sun is dim.
Zee Avi softly plays on my pod.
My heart beating in anticipation.
A question lingered in my mind.
"Why bother to make decisions when things are already destined and fated for us in this present life?" i asked.
I was stump.
I could not answer but merely bit my lips and took a deep breath.
Why does it have to be so excruciatingly hard when you want something so bad?
What does it take to ease the burden, to gain an infallible assurance, to make things feel just a little easier.
I wished i knew or else i wouldn't feel the way i do now.
That's why i am down to my last thought x

Pucker up, baby!

Current beauty obsession.

Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 Pear, limited edition is amazing.

Available at all Kiehl's outlets.

I see the best of me inside your eyes

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night.

Print Exposure

"No one ever takes a photograph of something they want to forget"

It's true.

I have an infinite passion plus an uncanny habit to take photographs wherever i am.
I do it because i love too. I do it because they are mine to keep.
Love is an understatement to the thousand of lifetime memories captured in vivid, life like images that even words cannot describe.

Capturing a perfect shot & taking it as an inspiration is a thrill of unspoken manner for an amateur like me.
This year, i will be starting a photography project which is yet to be named and i just know i am gonna adore it already! x

John Mayer : Battle Studies

Just when I had you off my head
Your voice comes thrashing wildly through my quiet bed
You say you wanna try again
But I've tried everything but giving in

I bought a ticket on a plane
And by the time it landed you had gone again
I love you more than songs can say
But I can't keep running after yesterday

Why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try

When all we ever do is say goodbye

Promises

My resolution this year is to keep things simple.

Simplicity at the very heart of it.
Making things, life and all just pure simple, real and easy.

I drew my inspiration from a marvelous US based magazine called "Real Simple" and their literal simplistic concept of making things easier.

My favourite issue is the one above dated May 2008 which i fell in love then but only grew fonder of in recent as it sits prettily in my room as a constant reminder.

In all, less is more in my never ending search for contentment and the perfect balance in life.

No more drama. No more impulsiveness. No more regrets.

But in lieu, more love, laughter, wonderment and happiness x
