Photographs and Religion

Dearest friends,

I am not the best photographer. I can hold the camera straight and warn people not to close their eyes, but that is probably the extent to my abilities to capture "the moment". Recently, I found a program on my computer called Picasa2, I went ahead and edited some photos. I am surprised at how much I liked them, so I thought I would share with you some of them.







Recently, I have been more interested in finding out about the origin of the Species. I am agnostic. Religious people and athiests would scoff at that because I am literally sitting on the fence, not brave enough to say I believe in God, but too scared to goto hell. You can say what you like. I think I am open minded. Right now, I don't think I know enough to be a believer. There are some fundamental principles which doesn't sit right with me. I believe I have the capacity to be a spiritual person, and to hold some fervent beliefs. But I have never read the bible, or any other religious text for that matter. All the evidence I have is hearsay. That is not enough to allow me to be an informed follower. I have to make the effort to find out more. The first step is to read more about it. If I am to become a believer of any religion, I want to do it right.

Later!

How am I suppose to feel?

Hi friends,

Today was AFL day. For Melbournians, it is probably the most exciting day of the year. This year, it was Collingwood vs Saints. I watched an interview with Jeff Kennett , he said "it's not collingwood vs Saints, it is Australia vs Collingwood". So true, when Collingwood is in the finals, the whole country is against Collingwood. Literally. So many anti-Collingwood jokes. Their fans are passionate but so rude and "bogan". I cannot believe the Collingwood fans singing their club song during Nick Riedwolt's speech at the AFL Parade. Grr. On the show "Before the game", all the commentators were trying to explain why there were so many Collingwood fans at the AFL parade. One plausible reason is "mate..it's coz they don't work". (THANK YOU MICK MALLOY!)This was followed by another joke A: "I think Centrelink was closed today!" B: "oh why?" A:"Because all the Collingwood fans are at the AFL parade." LOL

Ok.. just to be fair, there is a good joke about the saints too.
Q: What is the difference between an arsonist and St Kilda football club?
A: An arsonist won't waste 22 matches.

Yeh... BURN!

I can't believe the results though. A DRAW?. WHAT? WHAT? I guess not losing is a good thing, but not winning is crap too.There is no finality tonight. I was so nervous watching the game, I felt like I was going to vomit when Goddard kicked the goal. Alot of people are complaining about a second grand final, but I rather a second final than a penalty shootout, ie soccer. On the other hand, Collingwood isn't the most accurate team. Hmm. well bring on next week. Go SAINTS!

Ok catchya soon!

Ps. Did you know Charles Darwin went to university at 16 years old? Apparently that is normal in the 1800s.

Who motivates you?

Dearest friends,

The topic of my blog post today derives from a question that was proposed to me in an interview. I certainly think it is an interesting question because not every one have someone in particular that motivates them. Furthermore, people need motivation for different things, whether it's for perseverance, for creative ideas or simply for a more effective way to do things. For me, other people's success is a motivation to me. But instead of thinking how 'lucky' they are, I ask "HOW DID THEY DO IT?" Often, I often find that it is not luck, it is their work ethic.

Personally, I have two people who motivates me. First, Lance Armstrong. He won Tour De France 7x after he recovered from cancer. He had 7% chance to live. People like to say he is a drug cheat. After reading his bibliography, I learnt that he did it by pure hardwork. "I rode when no one else would ride, sometimes not even my teammates...To win the Tour I had to be willing to ride when no one else would ride." He also said "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." I truly believe that someone can be so dedicated to their goals, and they are able to achieve unbelievable results because of their deterimination and hard work.

I am not a bike rider, but I was and am inspired. When things get hard, when they don't go my way, when I get lazy and go off course. I ALWAYS return to these quotes. I remind myself that "hard work yields results". So I have to keep fighting, to work harder. I have to keep trying.

The other person that I inspires me is my parents. I won't go in to the details of our personal lives. Let us say that life was not always easy, it is still not for my parents anyway. The reason why we have what we have, and the reason why I am so fortunate is because of my parents' hard work and what they have sacrificed. When other parents take holidays overseas or goto dinner parties, movies, casinos, or even the church and etc, my parents will be working. Things don't magically happen. I learnt that good things in particular,are usually generated by hard work and a lot of sacrifice.

I have a passion for procrastination, therefore I constantly need to draw inspiration from my motivators. It is pretty simple really. Life is too short for regrets, I need to work harder.

Who inspires you? What do you need the inspiration for?

The 10 Pan challenge

Dearest friends,

I am now starting on a 10 pan challenge. I buy alot of things. In particular, pens and make-up. For a while now, the pens have stacked up to large collections, and different make-up has been sitting there collecting dust.

what is a 10 pan challenge?

Well, you pick out 10 things that you will use until it finishes. Now for me that is going to be hard, I hardly ever finish a pen, because either I lose it or I move on to more interesting ones, likewise with makeup. Makeup has expiry dates, therefore the accural has resulted in major wastage. The 10 things I have chosen, I have already used, but this challenge will ensure that I finish it.

Aim: To minimise wasting products and to save money by not purchasing similar products.

Why don't you stop buying crap, you may ask. Well, I can't help it. I am constantly drawn to trying out new products.

To make sure that I don't cheat, I have posted the items.


Here is the list and how much is left:
1. Loreal True match powder -40%
2. Lucas Papaw ointment -30%
3. Clinique Gloss wear - air kiss - 20%
4. Clinique dewy smooth foundation - 20%
5. Rimmel - Fix & Perfect primer - 90%
6. Maybelline - chocolate mousse eye shadow quad - 90%
7. Prestige- black eyeliner - 50%
8. Maybelline - Telescopic mascara - 50%
9. Bourjois blush - 90% left
10. Pilot blue pen - 30% left

I will keep you updated on my progress. It might take me a while, given I rarely wear makeup to university. Also, if you need any reviews or suggestion on makeup. ASK!

Now, I also challenge you to pick 10 things that you use and make sure you finish it to it's last drop. It doesn't have to be makeup, but it can't be food. Especially for those of you who are constantly buying the same type of products, but rarely finishing it. This will bring you self-fulfilment!

XO!

I will be back soon.

Apologise for my absence, will be back soon. Wait for me. :)

Are you like your parents?

There is no doubt, as I grow older, I am becoming more like my mum. I know.......dread. I am not talking about looks because that is attributed to genetics, but rather the way my mum approaches problems. When I was younger, my mum use to tell me not to do ALOT of things. She would go on and on about why I should not do it. I use to respond with "OMG, you overreact, you think way too much. Just relax." Unfortunately, instead of taking my own advice, I too have become an overthinker. Overthinking is not a big deal if you are decisive, which I am not. I struggle with these mind boggling decisions every day.



Should I buy Friends box set or individually?
- Target is selling them for $20 each, with 15% of that. From my research you can not get the friends boxset in stores and 17.00 is the cheapest I have seen it being sold. JB is selling it for $34. But the Targets I have been to, do not have every single season. If I buy them separately, then I am missing a couple and that would drive me crazy.
- I should buy it online in a boxset off ebay. But they are mostly R2 (Europe), I am not sure if I want to risk that not working on all my dvd players.
- Perhaps I should wait until Christmas time, that is when boxsets are released. But that is too long of a wait.

Should I go clubbing?
- I do like dancing, and I like hanging out with my friends.
- But how would I get home? Taxi costs money which is ok, but the thought of going home alone in a car in the middle of the night is just really annoying.
- getting ready is not a problem, like most girls, I do like dressing up.
- Should I drive? Yes, that way people won't be staring at me on the train, but that means I can't drink. But I like to drink, what's clubbing if not drink?
- If I drive, where should I park?
- I am really bad at driving, especially in the city. What if I get lost or crash?
- OMMGGGGGGGGG ok.. I am not going.

Should I goto full time work next year?
- I really should get some work experience.
- But what if tax is not what I want to do? I would be stranded in an area that I don't like?
- Should I work somewhere else? What if I don't get a job offer from anywhere else?
- Should I study abroad, the idea of travelling is exciting.
- But what if it is a year wasted? I am now officially behinded. Behind of what? Behind of everyone who started at the same time as me. It would be so weird getting work off people who use to be my peers.
- Should I get my college of law? It will definately be useful, I do eventually want to be a lawyer.
- I am going crazy.

Being a law student doesn't help either. I am consistently drawing up pros and cons for my decisions, and assessing the risks and benefits. Anyway, that is my disgusting trait that I have inherited off my parents. TO make matters worse, my mum can't decide on her problems, so she always ask me for my advice. This leads me taking on two loads of complex issues.

One of my friend always double checks whether the windows and doors of her house has been shut. She would return if she is not sure. She is like her mother in that way.
What sort of traits do you take after your parents? Do you say particular words? Have you adopted some mannerism? Are you cheap like them? Let me know.

I should go now. More issues to deliberate on.

How old would you go?

The question is no longer how low you can go. THe more relevant question in the modern day is: how old will you go?

There is always something about older men that is appealing. Some really do mature like wine. Before you go "eek" on me, hear me out.

Older men are better in many ways:
1. Since girls are more mature than guys, guys need age to compensate.
2. Older men are more grounded. They care but are still independent. They have gone through the "bro before hoe" stages.(hopefully)
3. Older men have better dress senses. I am not talking about your grandpas or your dad's fashion. I am talking about men in their 30s, with their suits, and trench coats, and those adorable Gucci black glasses.
4. Older men know the best places to eat and to travel. After all they have had 10 years earlier start.
5. Most importantly, older men appreciate girls more. They are less shallow and look for women they can respect, who will be a perfect role models for their offsprings rather than easy lays. They will care for you and support you.

Unfortunately, older men have flaws too.

1. firstly, why are they still unmarried?
2. What baggage are they carrying? This directly links with no.1
3. If they are less shallow, why would they go for a young chick in her 20s, probably prancing around in a short skirt.
4. If the theory is true and all good guys have been taken by their 20s. Does that mean the single 30 years old men are the left overs that no other women wants? Are they like sale items that have been marked 50% off, then 20% on top of that and 20% more? People always like what they can't have. So if no one wants him, do you really want Mr oldy?

To you readers, which older celebrity would you go for? And lastly, how old would you go?

My oldy crush will always be Robert Downey Jr. Johny Depp is too dirty, and George Clooney is just blah. But Robert with his alcoholism is the "iron" man for me. Pun intended. OH I nearly forgot, Robert also sings. When he sang "Every Breath you take" to Ally McBeal....oh my goodness, I was so jealous. (YOUTUBE HIM)

Robert today:





Robert back then:




SO, how old would I actually date? My age + 10.

If I'm not in love with you



Sometimes, we get so busy, that we forget about love.

We are so concerned about our exams, our careers, our need and want for material goods that we forget about love. I don't just mean romantic love, but love for your family, as well as the things you love to do.

I am saddened by the people who love another so much, but are afraid to say it.I know it hurts like hell if it doesn't work out, but the things you are scared of are usually the most worthwhile. Romantic love hardly ever comes along. Most of the times, either you like someone and they don't like you back, or the other way around. But what if it is mutual? How would you know if you don't say it or if you don't try it? My suggestion is that you should try it, be naive.....atleast then you have nothing to regret, you tried everything right?

The inspiration behind this blog post is "If i'm not in love" by Faith Hill

IF I'M NOT IN LOVE (Faith Hill)

If I'm not in love with you
What is this I'm going through
Tonight



And if my heart is lying then
What should I believe in
Why do I go crazy
Every time I think about you, baby
Why else do I want you like I do
If I'm not in love with you



And if I don't need your touch
Why do I miss you so much
Tonight



If it's just infatuation then
Why is my heart aching
To hold you forever
Give a part of me I thought I'd never
Give again to someone I could lose
If I'm not in love with you

Why in every fantasy
Do I feel your arms embracing me
Lovers lost in sweet desire
Why in dreams do I surrender
Lying with you baby
Someone help explain this feeling
Someone tell me



If I'm not in love with you
What is this I'm going through
Tonight

And if my heart is lying then what should I believe in
Why do I go crazy
Every time I think about you baby
Why else do I want you like I do
If I'm not in love with you



Please slow down..check out the song. It's a beauty.

Anything is possible..right?

I am a University Student, I am poor, I can not afford a flat but I do love mansions.
Some girls may enjoy clubbing, lesbian kissing and sticking their heads in toilets on a friday or saturday night, I chose to spend hours and hours scrolling through Domain.com to check out the latest property, and desiretoinspire.com to find the latest decorating inspirations.

There is something about mansions that get me. It's not their grandness, but rather their secrecy. Most of them are hidden behind trees and are barely visible from the streets, but once you enter those enormous iron gates, they tower over you. No houses are made like that anymore. No matter how hard suburbs like Nunawading, Dandenong, Wheelers Hill try to build grand scale houses, the effect is not there. They are just not comparable. They lack quality. Sure they have pools and tennis courts..but do they have the arched hallways, the detailed carvings on the corner of the buildings. Do they have high ceilings, beautifully stained windows? I can go on....and on........

Here is a taste of these beautiful mansions...(to my banker friends, may I please have one of the following:)

367 Beaconsfield Prade, St Kilda



49 St Georges Street, Toorak


Stonington Mansions



65 Clendon Road Toorak




If Jessica Watson can sail around the world unassisted, surely I can buy a mansion. After all she did say "any thing is possible". Kristy - the next mansion owner.

So dearest readers, please support my cause. Rich billionaires - please call me.

A picture can speak 1000 words, but it is mostly lies.


Dearest friends,


How often have you stalked your friends' facebook pictures, paused and said "awww, they are the perfect couple". I have done that so many times. Happy couples at dinner or on vacation posing for the camera, with their arms draped around each other, the sun setting behind them....Lovely, just lovely. Why can't my boyfriend and I be like....(actually, my bf and I take awful photos together, something is always not right, either me or him)

But for those couples that have perfected the art of Kodak moment pictures, 2 weeks..1 month later..Facebook informs me that my friend is now single.

So what happened? What could have torn them up?
A picture may last forever, but relationships don't. (Most of them) A happy couple in a photo is simply a photo with a happy couple. As depressing as that may seem.
Every couple has their issues, no amount of PDA can dissolve these issues. Funnily enough, it's mostly the PDA couples that break up. Man how tedious it must be, to have to delete all those photos off your facebook.

The moral of the story is, the next time I see a picture of a guy staring lovingly in to a girl's eyes. I know to myself, it's nothing to wish for. Because more likely than not, it is a "still" moment that will end up in the recycle bin of their computer.

I hope I have instilled enough pessimism in you for this week.

Have a lovely weekend!

Something about most girls......

I just love this quote from a movie, it says it all about most girls and perhaps boys. The cynicism that affects us all. Guess which movie?

YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU,

MISS WHOEVER-YOU-ARE?
U CALL YOURSELF A FREE SPIRIT,A WILD THING.
YOU'RE TERRIFIED SOMEBODY'S GOING TO STICK YOU IN A CAGE.

WELL, BABY, YOU'RE ALREADY IN THAT CAGE.

YOU BUILT IT YOURSELF.

AND IT'S NOT BOUNDED BY TULIP, TEXAS,OR SOMALILAND.IT'S WHEREVER YOU GO.

BECAUSE NO MATTER WHERE YOU RUN,

YOU JUST END UP RUNNING INTO YOURSELF.







I have been listening to alot of Sinatra lately. Abit of Moon River, Get Happy and Strangers in the Night. What does that say about me? Perhaps I was born in the wrong era. Where has all the romance gone. Sometimes I wonder if feminism, women rights have driven away all the romance from the guys. Girls want independence, they want to work, they want to support themselves. At the same time, guys no longer feel the need to protect girls and provide for the girls, to treat them well. Why do they have to now when girls can do it all on their own. It is really sad. Why does it have to be all or nothing?

Ps. I have been sleeping so well lately. For a while I started to get insomnia, where I lay awake for hours and hours. But these days. I can sleep for 9 hours straight no problem. I think the secret is eye mask. It darkens the room and relaxes me. LOL random point. See ya.

How to handle stress.

Ladies and Gentleman, I know most of you are really stressed out atm.

So here is a tip to relax.

1. go into a quiet room

2. light a candle

3. Put on HOllywood Undead - Undead

4. Turn it up to the highest volume, with extra bass.

5. Now sing your lungs out. Here is the lyrics:

You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.
(Undead!)

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.

Now I see that motherfucker writin' on the wall
When you see, J-3-T,
Thirty deep he's down to brawl
Fuck those haters I see,
Cause I hate that you breathe,
I see you duck,
You little punk,
You little fucking disease,
I got H.U. tatted on the front of my arm,
Boulevard,
Brass knuckles in the back of the car,
Cause we drunk drive Cadillacs- we never go far,
And when you see us motherfuckers,
Better know who we are.

I got one thing to say to punks who hate,
Motherfuckers You better watch what you say.
From these industry fucks,
To these faggot ass punks,
You don't know what it takes,
To get this motherfucking truck.

I'm already loud maybe,
It's a little too late,
Johny's taking hands up, with all the faggots who hate,
Cause I'm god motherfucker and there's a price to pay,
Yeah, I'm a god motherfucker and it's judgment day!

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.
(Undead!)

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.

I'm getting used to this nuisance,
And all the fags who bad mouth this music,
How fuckin stupid and foolish of you to think you can do this,
You cowards can't, never will, don't even try to pursue it.
I took the chance, I played the bill, I nearly died for this music.

You make me wanna run around, pulling my guns out and shit,
Your tempting me to run my mouth, and call you out on this bitch,
how ignorant you gotta be to believe any of this?
You need to slit your wrist, get pissed and go jump off a bridge,

What? You can't see the sarcasm in the verses I spit?
What? You think I just got lucky and didn't work for this shit?
Bitch. I've been working at this ever since I was a kid,
I played a million empty shows to only family and friends.

What kind of person gets disembanded and deserves to get big?
I hate to be that person when my verse comes out of the kid's lips.
That shits as worse as it gets.
This verse is over, I quit.
Signed Charlie Scene on your girlfriend's tits.

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.
(Undead!)

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.

White boys with tattoos,
We are pointing right at you,
We are breaking everything, r-rowdy like a classroom,
Pack of wolves,
'Cause we don't follow the rules,
And when you're running your mouth,
Our razor blades come out,
Because it's nothing in my mouth except my dick and what I spit,
So my dick is in my hand when I respond to faggots talking shit,
Speaking of fags, already wrap with the drag,
We killed him and then we stuffed his body in the Cadillac.

Why you always pressin?
You know I'm never stressing,
With fucking DMS,
J-Johny to my left,
Got Phantom and the rest,
Who are down to rep the west,
A grew up by drive-by's and L.A gang signs,

So what the fuck do you know about being a gangsta?
What the fuck do you know about being in danger?
You ain't doing this, so you know you're just talking shit.
Mad at all of us because every song is a fucking hit.

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.
(Undead!)

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
Ya no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say,
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway.

Motherfucking time to ride, (ride,) (Undead!)
See you drop when we drive by, (by) (Undead!)
Motherfucking time to ride, (ride,) (Undead!)
Watch you fucker's just die, (die) (Undead!)


Good luck!

Back with a BANG!

MY LOVELIES! I AM BACK... like one of the John Farhnam come-back tours. (or...Backstreet girl is back again) oh lame.

I have been away for too long. For those of you who regularly read my blog entries... during your lectures, I apologise for my absence during your first 4 weeks back at uni. I have no excuse this time, just that I couldn't be bothered etc.

For those of you who are reading my blog entries for the first time. Hello! Please come back again!



Since I have been gone, I have been every where! Not really, only to Sydney and Wantirna South. I did climb the Sydney Harbour bridge which cost me $300. If you want to do something that is adrenaline pumping and action packed, this is NOT it. At no point, did I fear for my life. If you want to do something that really "wows" everyone, this NOT it either. Everyone who I have told about my bridge experience gave me a polite smile and said "that's good, is it worth it?". You know it's probably not the most exciting thing when the first thing people ask is how much it costs.

I have deleted over 40 of my old posts. It was sad to, I didn't know I had so many posts over the past year. But I feel that in order to start something fresh, I need to start on a clean slate. (...so I can reuse some of my old jokes). But don't be too sad my lovelies, I have kept some of my interesting posts.

Since I am back on my blog, I will no longer be spending hours on fb and msn.

If you have any topics that you like my opinion on, please leave a comment and I will certainly blog about it.

Thank you for your support over the past year, and please show me more love this year.

Something new:
Leona Lewis - Happy
Sportsgirl lipgloss
Body Attack classes - I have set a task for myself to get a washboard stomach.

First for food, people and poems

Dearest of friends,

3rd of January- Aaron and I decided to escape our daily routines at Camberwell/Glenny/Knox, and decided to eat at a new resturant. We went to Cafe Lagom on Glenferrie Road. It was a pleasant surprised. I hardly say I really like something and I really liked Cafe Lagom. The staff were lovely, warm and casual and not overly obsessive on the customers. The food comprising of some interesting dishes such as mushrooms on a cheesy omelette for entre was mouth watering. It was buy one and get one free pasta night on sunday, so the asianess in me went for that one. The linguini was yummmm. The coffee was also really good, unlike the brown water they serve at Glenny. Overall, it was definately a brilliant "first time" cafe experience.



4th of January - Back into my work routine of insanely early mornings (well for me) and late nights, was not overly adventurous today. I discovered the band "nevershoutnever" on youtube. He is an youtube sensation and has now recorded some stuff. Just a young guy, making music for other people to enjoy. I must say, his music isn't really something I would listen to over and over again, but I do enjoy how unique it is. I like "Trouble", it is awesome. Please go listen to that song.

5th of January - The area I live is very quiet, seldom do you see a person walking on the street. Today, I went for a walk at 8pm for the first time. It is a bit late for my usual walks. Oh wow, there they all were, walking the streets with the rest of their families, women pushing prams and dads taking their sons out for a game of cricket. People walking their dogs. Hot guys jogging shirtless. I couldn't believe my eyes. *kindly reminder to oneself - 8pm is now my new walking time".

6th of January - I went to see the movie "Bright Star" tonight. As some of you may know, it is a movie about a real romance poet called John Keats. He wrote some of the most beautiful poems, and he wrote them in such a short time. He died at the age of 25. It is a romantic story, I must admit, I didn't really understand some of the poems, but I could still appreciate the film nevetheless.

Welcome to 2010!

Dearest friends,


I have been really bad with updating you on my new things for the day. Another year has gone by. What have we achieved? Have you done anything memorable? Think think. Man that makes me sad. I really haven't done anything life changing.



There are a couple of things that I am really glad I did:
- Marathon with Leanne
- doing Vac work at EY

Tell me about what you did on Christmas Day and New Years eve?

For New Years eve, it was so much fun. My friends and I booked a hotel room near the city, and ended up drinking lots and playing a few rounds of UNO and Twister. I would upload some photos from it later. I dunno why, but from all that and jumping around, I ended up with bruises all over my back and legs.

So on to my new things:

1st of January 2010:
- I watched Jane Eyre. This is a Charlotte Bronte book, which was made into a movie. It was so sad. Especially when Mr Rochester told Jane "say it Jane, say that you will take my name". I literally sobbed.

2nd of January 2010:
- I am going to a club called Eve. I have never been there, but I am going to go for a friend's birthday. I hope I will enjoy it, sometimes I make up my mind that I won't like something, and then not try to have fun all night.

I have to constantly remind myself why I atarted "a new thing a day" agenda. The reason is that I find myself stuck in my comfort zone, doing what I always do every day. So I am trying to be less afraid, trying out new things and making new friends. You guys should do it too! Maybe we motivate eachother!

There are so many things I want to do, but don't because I am afraid or I can't be bothered, so I need to constantly remind myself:


Happy New Year my lovelies!
