A VAGABOND
This 2016 passed like as if I'm on a rollercoaster ride with my seat belts undone.. I thought that it would be my year but it really had not favor my expectations. After all the ups-and-downs, I'm still thankful for all the lessons and experiences this year brought. Having this blog is an example of a good thing that happened to me this year.
To be honest, I am not a pro in doodling or sketching. I drew this out of boredom. Nonetheless, I have urged myself to practice any art to become better. So that when I grow old, I would look at all my work and think about how and what I felt towards all those masterpieces.
If given the chance and money to travel, I will definitely explore the unknown and have the most amusing time of my adventurous life! Into the forest we go!
You know you're having a green thumb when the sight of plants and a manual on how to grow them excite you! I actually have 3 baby succulents at home :)
Two of the many reasons why I fell in love with Netherlands are: 1.) It's the country where the casts of TFIOS (The Fault in Our Star) shoot their film, in Amsterdam to be exact. I want to go to find the chair where Gus and Hazel Grace sat on. I also want to experience classy dinner at La Rive or De Silveren Spiegel. 2.) Since it is Located in Europe, it would be easier for me to travel to other European countries. Most especially to Norway, Iceland, and Scotland.
I added painting as my newfangled hobby! It is my way to relieve stress, or if not, to make manifest my emotions.
We are living in a generation where flawlessness and fair skin are the standards of beauty. I say, let's not allow this to continue and tell anyone you know who have anxiety and think they are not good enough, that they are perfectly made with or without make-up. Flaws, fats and all, we should allow ourselves to be mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy.
Remind yourself everyday that you are good enough, you are beautiful enough and you are kind enough. It doesn't matter if you fail, stand up and fight because the whole universe is with you!
Never let anybody bring down your optimism! Be like a plant, once dry season is finished, sprinkle water of positivity back into your life.
Later this year, I doubted myself and my capabilities of reaching my goals. I failed multiple times, lost someone so dear to me and my family, and cried like everything is getting out of my control. Then, it suddenly occur to me that it's part of life. I will still face more bigger problems but will also become stronger, braver and more determined. I have to keep trying and trying and trying until I cannot stop.
How great it would be if someday from now, I will be financially able and physically prepared to travel around the world, to come across things I have not tasted or tried, and to grasp what is more to life? I cannot wait for that to happen.
The idea of alternative living, I guess is a longing for simplicity in an ever more complicated world - Alex Strohl, Traveller and Photographer Just like any other photographers and travel bloggers I know, I, too, want to live alternatively.
The only way out of the madness of this world is connect to the pure energy and vibes of nature, or to pray and meditate. Find put which keys work for you and use them. Otherwise you'll be drowned in the confusion of this hectic and insane world. Oh how awful it is to want to go away and to want to go nowhere.
Seasons change but memories remain. Day will turn night, and night will welcome day. Tell me how to love you until my heart cannot contain. 📝
Just recently, I found my way back to loving and binge-watching KDramas. Lee Min Ho and Lee Jong Suk are the main reasons why. My oppas 😍 I will definitely visit South Korea and hunt those two! Lmao
