Princesses, pirate ships and the 7 dwarves.

Every time I go to my blog, the counter shows a digit that is more than 1. I really wonder who reads this space, but to those who are reading this right now, I hope you're in the best of health. Here's a nice flower for you. ☀

(Currently rapping to Lose Yourself like a boss.)

When I was much younger, and internet wasn’t a first option to search for song lyrics, I would play my CDs and put the songs on hold every now and then to jot down the words just so I could sing along the next time it’s on replay. I had a book for song lyrics, no kidding. And yes, I'm aware of how random I just got.

Things I’ve been up to of late:
1. Never-ending school work (What’s new…)
2. Completed reading a book minutes ago

"It's okay to cry. Everyone who cries recovers. It's alright to be sad, even mad, downright angry for a short time. These emotions can heal, too. Just not by themselves." – The Cross Gardener, Jason F. Wright

This book is thought-provoking, and it’s so beautifully-written that I couldn’t resist reading it at every opportunity I get. There's an endless list of reasons as to why I love to read and having a book to widen my perspective of life is one of them. :')

The long weekend spells mugging, a nice date, and a whole day at work.
May you have a splendid one! :)

You and I.

Me: "You, me, dinner?"
Him: "You're gonna have dinner with a soldier. Haha."
Me: "More than honoured to do so. :)"
Him: "Then it's a date. :)"

Little things like this instantly brighten up my day. :')

"Happiness is the real sense of fulfillment that comes from hard work."

The weekend is finally approaching, hurray to that! This week’s been pretty exhausting – days and nights revolving around school work. Thanks to The Boy, of course, my Monday was spent doing something other than those projects and whatnot. Thank you, sweetheart.

Despite being weighed down by the pressure to complete the never-ending workload, I’ve been receiving pretty good news these few days. Got an ‘A’ for law paper and public relations paper each! The euphoria instantly made me forget about the taxing routine for a while. Alhamdulillah. :’)

We had our Advertising & Brand Management presentation earlier at 12pm and it went really well. Mrs. Bosco complimented our presentation and that immediately got us all in a state of contentment and joy. And again, it really made us forget about the stress that we were being put in hours before the presentation began. Alhamdulillah for that too. :’)

Now I’m gonna give myself a treat with a nice movie on my ever-so-comfortable bed.

I miss you dearly.

Everyday may not be good,
but there is something good in everyday.

Expectations and happiness are inversely-related, I feel.

Sometimes, when I do not expect anything from anyone or anything, the day ends better than expected. Today is a fine example.

While being put in the misery of brain-straining, I received a call. It was him, saying that he was at the entrance of my school. It has been a long while since I received such calls, so you can imagine how delighted I was. The speed of every action instantly increased as the excitement built up.

His face… the smile on his face is still etched in my mind. The last time I safeguarded such images in my mind – him, standing by his bike, looking up, while I walk briskly to him – was probably 2 months ago.

The wonderful evening led to an even awesome night. The walk on the jetty, the strong breeze, the full moon and the substantial conversation – the atmosphere and the setting synched perfectly as though everything conspired to offer the best they could for our date.

Moments like that are golden. Believe it or not, moments like that are when the feelings I have for him grow stronger. The way he looked me in the eyes, stroked my hair, brought me out of my comfort zone to see things from a brand new perspective and strengthened my belief in so many things in life.

Alhamdulillah, the day was wrapped up far better than what I had imagined. I can foresee myself smiling to sleep tonight. And I shall pray for the butterflies to last forever.

Nobody said it will be easy.

I’m aware that some things in life are beyond control. As much as I try to stay away from what’s already written Up There, I’m in no position to defy fate. As much as I would love to spend the coming days with the people I love, I have zero power to freeze the entire human race just so I can have the earth revolving around us. As much as I wish the pictures that I have conjured in my head would come true, if it’s not meant to be, then it’s not meant to be.

That’s how it rolls, and I just have to deal with it despite the agony in my heart. Albeit crying is never a solution to a problem, these tears always find a way to emerge from where it should have remained.

Waiting is exhausting, but because patience is virtue, I will persist.
