Blissful Break


Hey there. I just got off from my doctor's appointment, 
I hath been served yet another 5 sessions of physical therapy.
 It made me feel uncertain about a lot of things. It's not that bad really, just back pains but it made me feel uncertain.  I have undergone the first 5 sessions for my back, I'm not complaining but I've been out of work
for almost two weeks, I am getting paid and I know I don't have any right to complain
but it just makes me unsure of whether or not I would still like to get back to work. 

Work has not been okay recently, not that it is hard. The work is fairly okay. not to mention my boss has been such a goody about my therapy, everyone has been really nice to me, so far. I am just at that age, where I want something I can really sink my teeth in to, and my current career disposition does not promise me that. I want something I can keep forever and this is not it. This current bliss of a break that I was given for this Myofascial Pain Syndrome only adds up to my list of reasons why I should quit. Anyway, enough of work.

I am finally done with the book I was reading; The Ocean at the End of The Lane, by the great Neil Gaiman. I fell in love with it and would have finished in one sitting but I was successful at limiting myself
so as to prolong the joy I get from reading, hehe! It starts off with a man who grew up with books and well, you should read it, There was this one particular quote which I like very much.

“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.” 

I grew up with books, too. My mum never allowed me to play outside as a child, I clearly remember my first two books were the illustrated ones of Snow White and Alice in Wonderland, I was four years old with Alice being my absolute favorite. I remember not being able to read back then, I was so worried I won't be able to read at all. I eventually learned how-to a year after,. My parents bought me all kinds of books from dinos to fairies. 

There was this one time, my parents bought me a giant Atlast/Dictionary for my 6th birthday.
It was a big and boring and blue, that's how it looked like to me. I wore a straight face for the rest of the day.This could have a been a big book of mythical creatures or witch incantations but no, it has  to be this heavy duty book with words I don't really encounter. I finally learned how to appreciate this boring book by 3rd grade when we were learning about the dictionary, I thought it must have all the words in the world written inside. Ah, what are these feels?

Ah, the boyfriend at work is not responding to my messages.
I could give him a piece of my mind or I can treat myself to a piece of cake.
I think Imma do both! Happy Weekend!

Phase One

I will write about love. .
Soon...After I’m done with this book which I've compelled myself to read
I will, however, write about something since I’m already here sooo....
 Got it! I shall write about this movie I saw a few days back.
______________________________________________________

It is called, “My Black Mini Dress” or something like that, it’s a South Korean movie, So I can only hope and wonder if the English title that came with the download link is legit, hehe!
It is a nice coming of age / chick flick though! So yeah, if you are somewhere in your early errr mid twenties and you’re faced with the usual, trivial, quarter life crises and issues such as career and the likes, you should give this movie a look see J


It’s not that great of a film in terms of depth and content but am not going to be over critical about the movie, I’m just going to be very safe when I say that it’s about the stories of four young women and their struggles... or the lack thereof... hint Park Han Byul!
It honestly got me questioning a lot of things going on with my life, like if it’s time for me to quit my job and strive to fulfill higher ambitions, or if I’m being too complacent about something, haha!


Anyway, I just wanted to see if I can still write and string words together, ya know? It’s been a quite a while since the last time I've read or written something so I really don’t know where to start, it’s like back to square one for me.. in love, too... and many many other things. 
I will keep in touch from here on.

Subspace Cafe with Sempai

Dearest Sempao, where were you all my life?!! Say hi to my Sempai, First time I talked to her, I knew there is something about this girl that is all wrong which makes it all right! HAHA! We share the same wavelength you see, that makes us super twins! Anyway, a few weeks back, I was in front of the pc spreading my cooties online when we, in a spur of a moment.. decided to meet up! We were craving for the weirdest food plus we needed some girl talk time, anyone who knows us in real life would know how much of a dork we both are! But I guess there are times when you just have to be a girl, sometimes. hehe!

Sempao also keeps a blog by the way, you guys should go check! http://xoushii.blogspot.com/
Subspace Cafe 

Holy crow, Hi chairs attached to the ceiling!
I absolutely adore all the random and vintage decoration pieces they have at Subspace, very quirky and cute! Gives off a light and friendly environment, perfect for hang outs and catching ups.
This, I really want in my room!
The staff were really friendly, too!
Rabbit.
I want to steal.
Pretty wall decor.
I wanted to sit on this chair but I'm not sure if it was placed there to be sat on or if it's a decorative piece or what haha!
Hi cool looking light bulb!
I ordered the purple yam latte and requested the staff who accommodated us to do me a maruneko latte art, oh my happy heart! 
Sempao ordered this tasty treat, green tea ice cream and waffles, yum!
Foodie blogger in action!
Our beau la escort for the day, haha! After chatting our hours away at Subspace, we decided to head on and walk for a bit. Then we went to the bookstore to catch up on a few titles, time flies when you're a reader, I tell you.
And then we got hungry so we ate..
and ate some more.. 
And some more.. still.. haha! So that was our day, no actually that's our life right there, food, books, good music, awesome company and a tinge of anime.. yeah pretty much it haha!
You gotta love the natural lighting at subspace, perfect for selcas, haha!

Thoughts on Passion; and the lack thereof.



Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
-Vincent Van Gogh

I wonder how it feels like to be extremely passionate about something. 
I'm not talking about people who had their eyes set out to for just one ultimate goal.
Like those freaky super competitive types.  
I'm talking about people who just love what they do, and everything about what they do, and how they strive do it everyday. I am extremely envious of those people. 
Seems like I'm stuck at wanting to do so many things all at once to the point where I can't seem to actually start something. It's like, I have so many things I wanna do and all of 'em are at a certain level and none stronger than the other, to the point where I can't decide which one I should do first.
Oh God, I am wasting my days away. And all these because of that swimming anime, Free!
Cause Haru is just in for the water and nothing more, and I think it's beautiful *u*
