It’s that time again, where I’ve decided to write a post. It’s usually because I have nothing better to do or I had a mini mind breakthrough. And for this post it’s the latter.

The past few weeks have been pretty eventful. Ups and downs at starkly contrasting magnitudes.

Here goes, for the latest mind revelation (drum roll): this too shall pass.

So much for the breakthrough. Heh.

Well in my defence, the phrase has decidedly become my mantra. Shit happens, you just gotta deal with it. Of course the phrase is unfortunately ambiguous so the same thing applies even if you are high as f***.

But then again, nothing a good book and my faithful iPod can’t cure. I have so much more to live for. Everyday is a blessing with the beyond awesome friends and family. And there are simple pleasures that make each day an adventure, but also regrettably involves blowing off some bucks. Who said money can’t buy happiness?

Allow me to demonstrate:

1. Feast like a king. As in order the food anyway even if the price will normally bring about a  heart attack but you thought, screw it and order it anyway.

2. Buying a book you’ve always wanted to read brings a certain satisfaction, even if you haven’t gotten around to read it yet.

3. This might seem trivial but going to the cinema and karaoke joint just bring such joy.

Things that keep me sane and contented AND do not involve the paper include blasting the music in the car at dangerous levels, screaming along together with my sister (so glad we share some of our musical preference), discovering the Lumineers, guitar and talking to my dog. Haha.

At the end of the day, it’s not so bad after all.

It’s gonna be alright. At least that’s what I tell myself for now.

All Smiles

Hi there. I am not gloating but I am just honestly really happy with my life now.

The leaves are greener.

The sun shines brighter.

The air smells fresher.

Plain water tastes sweeter.

The current song that I’m listening to reflects my mood just right: On Top Of The World by Imagine Dragons. Clever, clever Ipod.

In fact so happy that I can’t help myself from putting a smiley after this sentence. 🙂

Now on to the part as to why. For the past few months, as aforementioned in my previous post, I have been vegetating happily. Well, not exactly vegetating, I am faced with happy dilemmas each day. For example, what to eat for the next meal, where to go for the next short vacation, where to go shopping, which movie or series to watch, which album to blast out without any reservations to scream along since I don’t have to memorize anything from the textbook.

Amongst other gems that illuminate my now colourful life include countless hours spent with the close friends and family time. There are very few things can rival the content of a simple meal with good company. Oh and also the fact that I didn’t gain any weight in the midst of all this feasting without exercising. (!) Though that has to change soon, the exercising bit because it goes against the health freak principles.

Of course this elevated state I am in will not be permanent, I am a realist to a certain extent. But I am not waiting for the shoe to drop, let it be. So, to whoever who is reading this, I hope some of the positive energy I think I am emitting through this post will rub off on you. I do hope you feel great as I do, if not better.
