at some point in my life, I'd like to be magnificent please.




Heard this song in like 4 or 5 of the shops I entered at 313 today. HMV was pretty much playing her entire CD. It was pretty awesome.

The past week was terrible. Work, this week at work was probably the worst and most stressful week ever, even beating the GE week and likely the coming PE week. But you know, people can be really very nice to you in time of need. I've never had so many people offering me comfort this week. I'm lucky, really lucky to have such people in my life.

Anyway, been having a spurt of must be productive spirit rushing through my veins recently. Signed up for Japanese classes with Cindy for Sundays morning. I don't want to waste my weekends away again. But then again, sleeping in should never be considered a waste of time. Getting old, I can feel it. I can't take late nights and little sleep like I used to. I guess I like this as well, being busy.

Having things to do, people to meet, things to rush out, gatherings to organize. I want to feel like a super woman. Being able to cope with work, having time for friends, being the person there. spending time with family. I want it all. And I know I can.


This feeling better last, cause I've never felt this determined and so good about myself. ever.

Let's go Evelyn, be magnificent!

Change

Why are we so afraid of it? If things are wrong why dont we correct it?
I understand, the comfort zone is such a big thing in everybody's life. But I cannot stand that everyone knows something isn't going to work, hasn't been working, can no longer work and they don't do amything about it!!! Why? So we are safe? In the long run who suffers? Everyone! Who benefits? No one! How is this not clear to so many of you who have experienced so much with your life's?

Have you not learn? The ostrich will never solve anything! If things are not going well you damn well do something about it.

There is always a time and place to whine and grumble and complain. But if the issue has a time constraint do really think looking for the person to blame should be your number one priority? How about fixing the problem first? And if there's someone to blame it will never be just one person. How about the supervisor? The supervisor? The auditor? The partners? No one saw trouble coming? Then either everyone else is equally stupid or just did not bother. That itself should be faulted as well.

I'm not going to take this lying down. It's ridiculous and so porposturous that it's still happening now. Super irritated.

Change people, or you will never know and you will never be sadder. But never happier as well.

up North Down Under with some trusty film.

It's true, excellent company make for excellent trips. This trip really showed how much fun, joy and laughter one can have with the right people. Every single day, I enjoyed myself, every moment was either fun, gorgeous or breathtaking. I never wanted to come back. It was almost everything I wanted in a road trip. The singing, the eating, the late night chats and the silly games we played. I don't understand how it could be better.

We don't need no five star hotel,
we just need this freedom.









Also, this trip rekindled my love for film photography. So beautiful how so many of the pictures came out. Brought the right cameras with the right film to the right place. I love the sun streaks which appear on my photos and I am in love with slide film. But not much sense using them in Singapore cause the pictures won't turn out as nice. Unless I go snapping on a hothothot day, which I totally DNW. oh well. Enjoy them abroad!
