I did not expect that I could have such fun watching the movie with my friends.  Probably because it's been so long since I've been to cinemas. Well, it has been a great girl's day and night out for us four: me, Sherry, Audrey and Reah.  And how I love this rainy night in Auckland. I even threw my slippery slippers because I couldn't keep up with Sherry running. I guess I need some more rainy days!

Now I'm back at my place, all I could think about is to drink a jug of green tea! My tummy's full with dinner and late night ice-cream at GIAPO's. Anyways, I love the Burlesque movie, the music and their looks. 

Until here for now...  I hope you will have a great-burlesque weekend!

I can do it!!!

 For the past weeks, I've been having trouble trying to lift my spirit. I have been slow in making progress about my career move for the last year and this year. I've been depressed, tired and felt unappreciated about my career direction. 

So I took a break for two days to spend time with my family and to eat something I really love without feeling guilty (because feeling guilty makes you lose confidence).  And then I realize that to make myself keep going and not losing hope  is to remember a time when I felt free and not caring about what happens next. So I set myself free.  By tomorrow, I'm gonna apologize for my mistakes that I brought  with the current job I have and then try to move on and start looking for greener pastures. I'm not saying that I detest my job. But it's time for me to move on to something that would set me free.  A job that would let me express myself, to help serve others and to radiate that sense of happiness and energy to everybody I meet... and not feeling like I'm facing a wall. I will still be thankful and grateful that I have a job  because not everyone has it right now. 

Oh well it's time for me to bed. I would like to thank the Angels for being there always.

Until next time.

I've seen this at Easter Show last week. I had to take a shot. It might look normal, but these are one of Auckland's biggest pumpkins!!
