November 25th, 

YUP! It's just about 3am and I'm still up. This only means one thing.... I'm procrastinating !!! Honestly I'm just drowned in papers lately !! Like seriously this is the time, for serious procrastination ! I never realized till a few days ago that, this time of the year, when uni first term comes to an end, is really the most stressful time of the year. It really doesn't get to me in the spring term... But WOW ! I'm really feeling the stress this year ! It's funny how school work takes you to the worst time of the year, filled with paper and projects then exams... Then life brings you back to best time of the year, CHRISTMAS of course !! No school, eat, sleep, repeat, now that's what I'm all about !!  It's really just a roller coaster of stress ! 

Anyways I was just taking a break from paper writing and decided to check back to my blog ! So far so good ! Hopefully I'll be back soon ! Time to kill this paper !

Lots of love ❤️,

November 16th, 

What a busy day its been ! For quite a while now, I realized that I haven't done this much work, meaning school work on a Saturday since... wow, possibly since high school ! But, to be honest, I've been losing so much focus since gramp's passing, I haven't done any schoolwork or catch up to any of my readings for hmm... a few weeks now. Its definitely not something to blame since this basically happens every term - me being so enthusiastic about starting the year, where I'm all up to date with assignments & reading ahead for classes and by the end of the term, I'm more like blehhh, whatever, reading can wait, I just need more sleep ! Anyways, I don't know if its just me, or do you guys experience it as well, but I'm really not a "do work ahead of time" kind of person ! I often have quite a bit of time on Fridays & Saturdays but NOPE ! I never (and I mean NEVER) do work ahead of time on either days ! I am definitely a "procrastinate on Sundays" kind of person ! Maybe this applies to you as well - I work better under procrastination - I tend to have more focus & get things done faster. I know its not the best way to do things, but hey ! if I can get the job done, then that's how its going to go right? Just do what you gotta do & be what you want to be - thats life & no ones there to stop you ! 

P.s. I wonder if people really see what I post, I mean theres page views and all, but you know...

Lots of love ❤️,

November 14th,

Ahhh... now this is the weather I love ! Although the breezy winds still come at me, the sun can still shine through the thinnest layers of clouds. That feeling of the warm sun on my face  just brings back the best summer memories. Nothing too special today... 

Cheers to a good day ! 

Lots of love ❤️,

November 12th, 

It's been such a busy day today - early classes, chilling with the buds, cleaning my room, yadee yadee yadahh... things that people do all the time. To be honest, what's making me tired is the fact that there's been so much going on at home : gramps death, grans in the hospital & just purely the thinking I've done lately that's making me so sleep deprived. To summarize it all in one word, it'd be - FRUSTRATING. So I've been thinking, back in the baby booming days a standard family would have 2+ kids. Okay, that sounds normal. The parents would spend their whole lives caring for their kids, again, normal. But, how do the kids repay their parents when they're all grown up as adults ? By abandoning your mum & dad? By stripping them from the money they've saved up their whole lives ? NO ! That is definitely not the way to repay those who've raised you. I honestly don't understand how people become so materialistic! Lately I've been learning about the idea of filial piety - meaning for kids to care for their parents when they're in old age. This idea has been around since the earlier development of china. All in all, I just don't know how people can put money over family. As a note to you guys (myself included) - please be grateful for the love that you take granted for everyday & have family above all. 

Alrighty ! Aside from the frustration, let's share some positive feedback of the day. A high school friend of mine left for a different university and came back recently (YAY) so of course we hung out, reminiscing the good ol' days that we had - it was definitely a great way to catch up. Also watched Ender's Game (the movie) today! If you guys haven't read the book or seen the trailer,don't worry, this movie won't disappoint ! Myself, as someone that isn't really into action movies actually found Ender's Game to be quite a surprise. I won't spoil too much of it for the time being, but one last comment...I really thought the ending could've been better & not leave me hanging :( 

Favorite part of the day was the tarot card set I got from my friend. I'm quite into art history, so once I opened the 'manual' the informative description of each card and it's symbolic purpose really kept me intrigued. So far I've still got a bit to read until I finish the book & learn the ways of the tarot cards. For the time being, I will be studying the manual & talk to you guys soon ! 

Lot of love ❤️,

November 11th,

First post, great. Let's do a bit of an intro.

Do you guys remember teasing people for telling their life story with a "deeeear diary, today I blah blah blah ... " Yup. I do, never thought I would ever (yes, EVER) start a blog, and to say that its a dear diary blog, mind blowing. Anyways this is just a place for me to say what I want. I'm not the person that speaks up for every little thing, and definitely not a good expresser of my own thoughts - I know I should but...well, that's how I roll (haha). Back on track, this little dear diary is where I "speak" up (more like WRITE up), a place for me to vent and a place share the good times!

I've started a blog a long time ago, I swear there was only one post hanging there for the past couple of years. Hopefully this dear diary will survive for longer than that !

P.s. First post will be up soon - lots to say & even more to get off my shoulder
P.s.s (or is it P.p.s ?) sharing the last minutes of Remembrance Day with you, lest we forget.

Lots of love ❤️,
