Hello Bipolar

Why do you visit?

Fancy Sunday

Hadn't actually just sat down and do nothing the whole day up until about now. =)

I am terrible. In a good way. If you know what I mean.

I wasn't expecting it to affect me this much. But I guess I now understand what she meant. It's not about the amount at all. But it's more of, does this mean I haven't been performing as good as the rest?

Withdrawal symptoms this time around ain't as bad as it once used to be. No, I am not referring to drugs or anything of that sort. Please. I suppose people do get used to it after awhile. #whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger

I went a little crazy with Blogthings yesterday. I am right brained in love. My ideal relationship is serious dating. I am comfortable PJ's. I am the living room. Hah, I am a natural beauty! I am wild at heart. I am a Japanese Zen Garden, and lastly, my brain is organized.

What secrets do you keep? Or do you keep none at all?

Internet's a bit laggy but I am thankful that it's at least working. Streaming Ships In The Night by Mat Kearney. I can't quite explain why I like it, I just do.

Had a good Sunday, on with the rest of the week!

The Pain of Being A Parent

And I am not even a full fledged one because my kid essentially is my doggie. -_-

If you've been following my blog, you'd know that doggie is sick and therefore is on medication. The first few days it was easy. Lure him with bread and he'd eat his medication guai guai. Today is probably the third or fourth day and he's NOT eating his meds no matter what I do and I wanna cry because how else is he gonna get well!

Prompted me to think back to all those times when we were kids and we refused to eat our medication when we were sick. Parents had to find and use all sorts of ways including violence rewards to get us to eat our medication when it is for our own good.

And that's just when we were sick.

What about all those time when we struggled with homework, when we had our hearts broken, when we fell down and scratched our knee, or bruised our hands, or that time when we had to make life decisions in which we felt so confused and miserable. Parents probably feel double of all that we are feeling and hurting. And yet, they somehow manage to just keep showing us love all throughout.

Parents are, probably the strongest people on earth.

So while we always take them for granted, maybe today, at least just today, think about all the things they have done for you. And appreciate them.

Today, I know I am thankful for my parents. For all that they have done for me. For I am me, because of them.

Gahhh! Why Am I So Darn Tired

Today, someone said to me, "It's the first time I am seeing you smile all week". I said, "It's Friday, that's a DAMN good reason to be smiling!" But really? Have I not been smiley throughout the week?

I caved. And had some ice cream. MmmMmmm, so gooood!

Someday, my dear friend, you will find someone just right for you. Like what my little bro tells me, "Jie, one day you will find someone perfect for you". I trust the same for you.

Had dinner in Marmalade BV. Think I've just found my new favorite salad dish. The Avocado Accent was the yummiest ever. And Pumpkin soup is fast becoming my to-go-to comfort dish.

Like how respect works, I suppose you cannot ask for something that you yourself are not doing right.

One step taken to be closer to finding out potential aspirations. Work has actually been kinda awesome lately. Productivity has been hitting high ends of my scales. So if anything, it is the good kinda tired, so don't be too worried.

I am thankful today for realizing the fact that although I am not amongst the brightest of bulbs, I am in fact a pretty well balanced individual. Also thankful that doggie seems to be recovering well. =)

But whoever who calls me before 9am tomorrow when my alarm is supposed to ring is going to get shot in the head.

"Do You Have Ice Cream At Home?"

Yes. It's a good thing I do.

But I probably shan't have any anyway. In no way is it going to help with my 48kg's challenge.

Double whammy! Seeing, more hearing actually, hearing what I heard, I believe I have done a fairly decent job, considering the current result, I actually suppose it's almost a fantastic job I did. /pats self on head

I guess I could be proud of myself for that at least. =)

Doggie seems to be doing okay. But his infection is still worrisome. Please pray for his speedy recovery. And he just pee-ed on my floor. Not so cute anymore. -__-

I thank God for good food and awesome people and also for that sweet smile (supposedly) that I own.

You Had Your Chance And You Took It

It didn't completely work in your favor but you tried and gave it your best shot. Well done, I am proud and happy for you..

Sparks don't account for a lot of things, and maybe it's wise to not put so much emphasis on all that sparkles. Sleep is important and sleep deprivation is not fun - explains why I am a bit incoherent now, used up whatever remaining battery power I had in me at work today. Work was productive though, which is always good.

People can be nice, and being nice to people is always a choice. A choice we make, a choice they make. People should learn to make good choices.

Poor doggie is sick, heart. break. I hope he's not in too much pain. Get well soon doggie!

Today, I am thankful for awesome colleagues in the office, whom of which I have grown to love quite a bit as good friends outside of the office too.

Hello Day 1 of TwentyThirteen

I just got up from a nap not too long ago!

And between waking up from my nap and now, I was streaming Girls' Generation I Got A Boy music video which was released today. All of them look out-of-this-world kinda pretty, but at the same time, they all kinda look alike too.

Of "But I have got no rent card", to "Just say No", to Chinese Monopoly deal cards, to boyfriend.com, to good food and great times!

And between the above and below, I also managed to watch the full 11 mins and 33 seconds worth of London 2013 fireworks. Simply spectacular! Though, it makes me wonder about what's all the talk with inflation and all that. Oh well, who says no to pretty fireworks! Go watch.

Today, I am thankful for each of you in my life. =)
