DECIDED!

Now is the time.. Since the year 2013 is almost done. I decided that I will have a lifestyle change. And I am dang serious this time! I need this! I need to do this! I can't be like this for the rest of my life. I need to change cause I want to live healthy! I want to be better! 

So here is the plan. 

1. I will be cleaning up my room and I will throw all of the things that are not good for me. For example, maybe I can find some chocolates that are stack up in case I am craving something sweet. I will also be throwing some drinks.

2. I need to do a healthy meal everyday! This can be hard because I am living with my family who will be eating normal foods. But I will not give up. I will do this. Maybe I can also convince them to get in a healthy lifestyle. Who knows?

3. I will be doing some motion everyday! It doesn't matter whether it's freezing cold outside or hot. There are always some sort of alternatives. Like for example when it's freazong outside, You can always do some excersice inside. I will go to the gym! I will do pilates!

In New Year's Eve I will be partying my ass off. And then at the end I will be developing to a better human being. I need to be strong. I know I can do this, I just need to believe in myself. I know this will really be hard, Like really hard but this is for me. This will be for my benefit. I am doing this for me, just for myself.

And that is my New Year's Resolution. The first resolution that I will make sure I will make it happen. 

Evolving to a new, better human being.

Is this help??

I've tired the Baking soda while boiling the eggs.. And I can say that it does really work..

To Love is to destroy. And to be the one that's loved, is to be one that's destroyed.

Resolutions..

Every year there are a lot of resolution list being made. But how many are being followed, How many list have broke.. I, myself, already have some resolutions, I am tellling myself that I really need to follow my list because I need to develop. I can't be like this for the rest of my life. There are just some things that are really hard to change specially when you've been on that stage for the longest time.

You have to develop, You have to grow as a person. I believe in you.

gotta be good again...

Is it just the time goes to fast or it's me who is really slow? Does time really can be fast? Lately, I've been spending too much time in the Internet.. I have this addiction right now in the social media. Ok, I had it long ago but not this serious. I mean like I can spend hours in my laptop. I watch some series, I watch some in YouTube. After I get tired with my laptop I will transfer to my phone.. There comes the Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr. And then I will end up again in my laptop.. Like now.

I don't have time now to read some books like I usually do.. I guess it's also because I am working now. My time is mainly working and then some time to rest then the next morning I will be working again..

I really want to go back to my old rutine. Check my Facebook, my mail, watch a little on YouTube. And then look if there is something new in Instagram and Twitter. Then when I am in bed already I will be reading a good book, so I can get some good sleep.

But change is good right? There are just cases that you need some change in your life. I mean I can't have the same rutine for the rest of my life. That will be really boring.

Internet is not that bad actually.. I learned so much.. Some tricks ;) I will tell you more later..

What wait??? Is it really not that bad or I am just making an excuse for myself..

When were you when I needed you.

Words, where are you now when I needed you. This morning I had something in my mind that I really wanted to write about and to share it to you. But I have to work and plus I was late so i haven't got the time to write it down in a piece of papper. So right now I sat here for almost an hour, No words came and that thing in my mind just flew away and decided not to come back.

Blank. Period. Milkyway. Galaxy. Black hole.

Kindness..

The time of the year when our selfishness disappears. Everyone spends their time buying stuffs, spending a lot, and even hanging around at a crowded mall just to make someone happy. It's that time of the year when wishes usually come true. It's a loving holiday, Christmas. 

Last week, I went to the mall. And there was this Grandma, She is having a hard time buying some things because it was too crowded for her but she still struggles to complete the wishlist she was holding. I can tell the list was long. She stood beside me, she was so confused with all the mascaras in front of her. She was looking for a "Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara" so the salesperson showed her where it is. Without hesitation (I mean without looking at the prize) she took it and marked the list with a check marked. 

"This year I am my Grandchild's Santa Claus"

Everything is going well.

Christmas is coming. But I honestly is still not in the christmassy feeling. I already bought some presents for my family and friends, I've redecorated my room, in a much more festive set but still not a glimpse of christmassy spark. Well maybe while I was fixing my room but after that hour it vanished into the thin air. Maybe it's because all I've done this week is to work. And it's my reason also by not posting for the past 5 days. I've been working so hard. I've been busy for the past 5 conseccutive days. Tomorrow is my last day of working for 5 days and then I will be having my 5 days break and then next week I will be working again for 5 days (whole day). Plus I will also be working in 24th of December. But it's not a biggy cause I will still be celebrating Christmas at home. Maybe you thought I am crazy by accepting that day to work. But I was just so curious how do they celebrate Christmas in a retirement house. Will their families get them so they can celebrate the holidays together? or they will just visit them in the morning to give presents?

I also wanted to celebrate my Christmas with them. I feel like they are already a part of my life, like my half family. Actually I am thinking of buying them some gifts but I don't know what to give them. I better think fast cause I just have five days of free time before I get busy again.

There are so many things to do. I am working. I am studying at the same time. Yes, I am studying. What I meant by that is that I am currently reading some stuffs to get my "Medicine License" and my "Driving License". So there are so many things to learn but there are just little time after work. I basically lay on my bed at the moment I always come home. And then I am out. But this day I got the chance to end pretty early!  But tomorrow is another day.

Oh better get going. I need to study :D

Learning to be.

I've always been the one who wants to talk.. I want to be the one who catch all the attention among my friends.. Yeah, sometimes that's me. I am not saying that I'm like that all the time. Or maybe my friends doesn't even notice me being so self-centered. Or maybe they just don't think I am that kind of person. Sometimes I just can hear myself taking to much. Talking about the most random things and not giving chance for my friend to talk about his/her opinion or story. "Friendly Conversations" are the one I mean. Or just a simple conversation with someone I am close with. That part of me usually comes out when we are only two talking with each other. I end up talking all day about myself, opening too much and not knowing anything about the person I am having conversation with. So bad.

I'm learning. Believe me. But this is hard. It's hard for me stop myself from talking too much. I started practicing being a listener not the talker. It's just hard to not to interupt them. In such a short time I learned so much, by just listening to people voices, listen to their opinions. It made a really big difference about how I look at them. Not in a bad way but instead in a good way. I learned who they are, as a person, as a friend, as a sister/brother, as a daugther/son, and even as a mother/father. I know listening to others opinions might be irritating specially when you have the opposite sight of it. You can't blame them, You can't blame anyone actually. You might meet a person who you think is close-minded, you can't just hate them by that. Experiences is the key. All of us had different experiences and has different point of view in this world. All you have to do is accept it. To respect others and learn from them instead of dissing.

Learn how to listen to others.

It's my daddy.

I just believe that it's my daddy. My biological father have past away long ago. He passed away when I was just still a baby, 2 years old. When I was still young, I always believed that my daddy was a butterfly. Honestly until now, I still believe that he is a buttefly. I don't knew why but i just believe that he is a butterfly. I grew up with my mom's cousin who just taught me that my daddy is a butterfly. Maybe she taught me that because she just don't want me to miss my dad or just to not forget about him. Which really worked.

I always believe that he is just beside me watching and guiding over me. When I feel like sinking in a very dark place because of my problems. I just talked to my daddy. You might find this really weird but he helped me a lot. In some way after talking with him, I can think clearly and gives me courage to keep going to make him proud of me. Proud of what I can do because of him. It's not that he answers me back when I talk to him. But just imagining that he is in front of me, imagining his face, remembering some of my memories with him can keep me from sinking.

At first I was thinking of having a butterfly tattoo since I believe that it's my daddy but an anchor is more appropriate because he is a seaman and he do what anchors do to a ship. It keeps it stable and grounded. He helps me to hold on no matter how hard an obstacle can be. To be strong and not to give up.

Don't be afraid.

This year had change me a alot, change me in different ways. In both good and bad ways. For the longest time, I've been that girl that never dreamt about something big. I was so scared to fail and always thought of that there are just things that impossible for me to do. It seems that IMPOSSIBLE was one of my most used words in the past.

To travel alone. I was so scared of traveling alone cause I am just afraid that I will get loss and will never be found. So childish huh?. Well that was me but i got the will to just leave that old me behind me. Last year, I flew in the Philippines alone which took a day and a half to get there. I was so nervous in the beginning but I survived and even enjoyed it. My main explanation is it just made me feel so free. I don't need to worry about anything else but just myself. ONLY ME MATTER!.

And then this year I got the chance to fly to Turkey for a week! Another barricade I knock over. I never thought of flying to another country other than ofcourse my homeland and Sweden. It was too impossible for me. I am very thnakful that I am surrounded with such positive people that gave me some courage to believe that I can do it. I even had some really horrible experiences before flying to Turkey. To cut the long story short, I had such hard time getting my visa to travel. In the end I got to travel because I believed.

After the obstacles I've passed, I bought a bracelet just to remind me of that day. To remind me that I can make things happen if I will just believe in myself. Unfortunately, I lost it while I was passing the security in the airport. And that was the time I decided that I really want to get a tattoo.

Don't be afraid to fly high. Dream big and just believe in yourself.

Talented.

My first. My story.

I made an achievement. I got inked yesterday. And yes, I am counting it as an achievement cause basically I just achieve something I never thought I will. Why not? First of all, I never imagine myself being inked and having it inked in my skin for the rest of my life. I kinda regret on things so easily, so getting a tattoo was not even one of the things I wanted to do. Secondly, the pain. I am assuming that almost all of us have watched atleast once, some hilarious people reacting while getting inked. I always had those videos in my mind. I don't want to be sitting in there and then backing off in the middle of it cause I can't bare the pain. I thought that it's just too much for me. But I always respect those who really dares to get a tattoo. It's a whole life commitment. And let's face it tattoos are beautiful and even cool looking specially when the mean something really meaningfull for that person. It just made it much more cooler and special.

I got two tattoos. On my right and left inner wrist. Many might not like it or even hate it. Many might look it's stupid, ugly and meaningless.  But I don't care cause I am proud of them. Proud of myself. They are so important to me. And I don't regret anything. I don't regret the pain I felt. I don't regret the money I spent to have them. And most importantly I don't regret that it will be inked in my skin maybe for the rest of my life. I am proud of every inch of my tattoo.

 Stories behind them will be on the next post.
