I.PH, you’re gorgeous. but you’re slow. I don’t like you anymore. Sorry about the inconvenience, but i will not be posting here anymore, gorgeous as you are. I’m ciaoing back to blogspot.
So much work, so many people to please, so many things to do, so much planning. it’s making me crazy. i’m slowly going out of my mind, but there is no one to relieve the burden. it’s another one of those times where i camp out under my comforter for a week or so, which i very gladly started today. I’m sick, but who cares. People only care about their money, what they’re paying for, what i can do for them. I just can’t bring myself to do anything. [but blog obviously]. Of course, i know, people care, but what’s the point of caring from the sidelines. Thats like being a nurse that works in a bookshop. Wasted and useless. Rot the lot of you.
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fears and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
I’ve been abit busy lately, running around doing stuff in an effort to raise money in light of my upcoming trip to UK. Been doing a little fashion merchandising, a little artist thing, a little everything just to prepare stock to fill the online shop i’ve been working on. Also been working with different sites to see which would meet my needs more and i’ve finally settled on this. The shop’s ready but i haven’t finished stocking up yet. Am aiming for a May opening.
I’m abit nervous about it, i didn’t really do it properly the last time round [it ended up being more of a gallery] but this time, i’d been researching how people do it and all so i’m hoping it goes well. I’m so tired! Everybody keeps asking me why i look so pale and drawn. Oh well, it’ll all be paid for when i get the shop up and running.
Here’s another movie on the same level as Enchanted on my highranked movies, which is right up there! I really liked this movie, well, James McAvoy helped but really the point of the story hit right at my heart. The "helpful mother" reminded me alot of my own too. But back to the story…
‘Penelope’ is the story of a young woman, Penelope Wilhern (Christina Ricci), born to wealthy socialites (Richard E. Grant and Catherine O’Hara). Penelope is afflicted by a secret family curse that can only be broken when she is loved by one of her own kind. Hidden away in the family’s majestic home, she is subjected to meeting a string of blue-bloods through her parent’s futile attempt to marry her off and break the curse. Each suitor is instantly enamored with Penelope (and her sizable dowry)? until the curse is revealed.
It’s a modern day love story that warmed the cockles of my heart, and left me smiling wistfully at the end of the movie =) Watch it!
That’s where i was tonight. I only went because of Elvy.
Since i was only there for a very short time to hear Elvy sing, i only can review on her and the ONE drink i had, which wasn’t alchoholic Haha…But anyway, the place is pretty interesting, a tiny dinky place, very cosy atmosphere. Best feature: It’s a smoke free place, HAH! All smokers have to go outside to get a death puff, too bad! It’s about time everyone considered the health of those who don’t smoke. Anyway, prices seem like the usual of any bar.
Elvira however, sang better songs hahah, better cos i could sing along to most of them, and cos they weren’t all JAZZIFIED beyond belief. For as much as i like jazz, i think i’m pretty selective and i don’t really like it when everyone goes solo and plays the longest draggiest bunch of mixed up notes. I like big band, toe tapping, power voice jazz, ones i can sing along to. She didn’t sing many jazzy songs this time, but they were familiar n popular songs so it was good. Different. But good.
Anyway, here it is, in case you’d like to visit the smoke-free place. Enjoy!
I don’t know how many pieces of my clothing has been wasted away already but again! AGAIN, it happens. My brand spanking new special reversible hoodie…DISCOLORED because ARGHH!!!! I’m damned pissed. RM40, just bought a couple of weeks ago, wasted. Damn mengade. Really pissifying. So now, i’m washing my own clothes. Nobody touches my clothing any more.
edit: Okay, after a good chat with JJ, and some sense delivered into my brains, i am somewhat less angry, but srill. It’s not stopping me from doing my own clothes. I wonder if my future teenage daughters would yell at me if i accidentally discolor their clothes.
I cheated on you, with my ex. Oh honey, i’m sure you’ll understand. It’s only natural after all, cos you were down for so long and i really felt like it.
Haha. How like a man. Anyway, i really wanted to blog this morning and i was disappointed when i discovered i.ph down and out. Well, i’m glad you’re back to normal now, and i hope you stay that way =P
Great weekend, great lessons, great God!
I learnt so much about Love, Sex, Marriage, Biblical Men and Womenhood and i’m proud to say i am no feminist. God is good, for He opened the eyes of my heart and mind to many many things that just never occured to me before. It’s so great that before we left, we had this short prayer time, where we all could readily and easily identify and think about things we need to change in our lives because of the conviction we received over the weekend.
So i’ve been blessed and i’m back to bless. Although it has been such a tiring weekend, it’s been rejuvenating and although i’m still abit tired [in mind and body: i’m sick by the way], i am ready to love and serve again. Woo Hoo!

Here are some photos from the retreat, for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

I do not presume to know about a lot of things. I merely wish to promote good discussion about some topics that tickle my curiosity. I may be right or i may be wrong, but then, that's my prerogative, isn't it? *grin*
