Hey guys,
been busy brainstorming these past couple days.
Been toying with this idea in my head for a few months already...and I've decided I'm going to go through with it. :)
(but, i'm gonna discuss that in another post)
#1, "5cent Campaign"
I'm going to talk up my apartment supervisors tomorrow, and I'm going to discuss the 5cent Project with them.
It's basically me out-branching from the Y-generation's "5cent Campaign".
(You can help out too! For more info, here's the link: "5cent Campaign" )
I'm going to see if I can persuade the main office to help out.
What I plan to do is basically place a jar/box in the main building, where everyone and anyone can drop their loose change. Their "5 cents", if you will.
Depending on how the collection goes (I'm thinking weekly), I will bring the jar to the bank and TT the money over to the collections.
The money will be used for a bunch of things- feeding communities in Australia, education in Bangladesh, empowering sex slaves in Cambodia, preventing child slavery & trafficking in Ghana and education in Rwanda.
Personally, I think it's a great move and I'm really psyched about it- hoping that my supers will feel the same.
My quote of the day for you?
Never feel you're too small to make a change in the world :) It always has to start with ONE person.
*P.S. I do have another project on my hands that's being formulated at the moment...but I'll share more on that soon. :)

The sweetest thought just popped into my head,
A smile against all odds, is the best bet in your favour. ♥
Sunshine always makes the best mornings for me. :)

Morning, sweethearts :)
I managed to survive the two past weeks where I was swamped with assignments!
Doubly-confirmed that I'm not that good with stress management.
But hey, you know what? That's alright to me. Because everyone is made with their weaknesses. And once you realize that you're not good at something, don't freak out! Just slowly deal with it :)
After all, life is about constantly growing and learning as a person.
And that's why they say life is a beautiful journey.
Because at the end of it all, you're going to be the best version of yourself you can be. :)
You know what they say-
"Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not yet the end."
Very overused quote, but true!
So, chin up, beautiful. :)
And I've been going through some of the comments -once again, I really REALLY love it when you guys leave comments for me!
It's nice to have something to read on my side too, you know. ;)
I'm picking them at random- so don't get discouraged if yours doesn't show :)
#1, from chaussure air jordan. May 3, 2012.
"Beautiful!!! You truly have an eye for colour."
Thank you :) It's sweet of you.
#2, from Louis Vuitton Bags. April 24, 2012.
"I follow you VIA GFC and I love your blog!"
That's wonderful to hear :D But if you don't mind me asking, what is GFC??
*Please feel free to answer me in the comments or the chat box :) I WILL read it!
#3, from Nike shox nz. April 17, 2012.
"I "like" you on Facebook. Would love these for my oldest boy!"
Thank you! But umm....how exactly did you "like" me on facebook? I'm pretty sure I don't have a fan-page...and now I'm just curious and confused. Haha, please let me know!
#4, from Air Jordan Retro. April 24, 2012.
"Your write-up is fantastic. It is essentially extraordinary to me. I like it greatly and I hope to determine you additional content articles."
Thank you! But Heston really is an amazing chef, so it wasn't hard to give him praise he deserved :) I hope you continue to enjoy reading my blog too!
#5, from Dylan. August 5, 2011.
*yes, it's from last year but i really like it! so i'm giving it a mention :)
"I saw a falling coconut sign but it read 'warning- gravity effected coconuts' "
Haha, it did make me chuckle. :)
**
There are a few questions that have been plaguing me though..
1. How did you guys find my blog?
2. Did you know that you guys can sign up for email alerts every time I update my posts?
3. Why do most of you have weird random names like "MulberryBagsUK" or "Air Jordan"....? haha
I would love it if you used your real names.
Nothing bad will happen if you do! I promise! :)
(Big thank you to Dylan for doing that. :D )
Have a great day, guys~

Sometimes I sit and wonder what could have been.
I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it.
Sometimes I miss you.
The memory of how vulnerable you sounded.
Your words and their echoes
in this tunnel of memories, seem endless.
Sometimes my mind can't help but wonder at you.
I miss you, you silly boy.
The silly boy who broke my heart.

People say that you shouldn't dwell on the past.
But if their past were you, they would, too.

Under the sea, under the sea
There, darling it's better. Take it from me.
So, today's another day! :)
It looks so peaceful and calm.
And yet, all I can think about is what is going on underneath the surface.
That this deceiving calmness can't just be it.
It might have crossed my mind to just jump into the serene waters, but as we all know, the sea is never serene.
No. It is unpredictable and home to many beautiful and also, deadly creatures.
So it begs the question...
what wondrous chaos can be going on under that surface?
Saw this shot and all I could think of was how I wished I had such a best friend that I could share life's awesome moments with.
Imagine you and your friend just lounging around in your underwear, donning oversized tees whilst making pancakes and coffee.
Without a care in the world.
Sounds like a pretty darn good day to me.
It's rare to find someone you can completely "go" with.
Usually you do come across moments where you and another person can truly "get" one another and just BE. But those "clicks" and happy moments are brief and few in between.
Of course, it doesn't make those friends and moments any less valuable or wonderful.
But, imagine a friend who you can be completely yourself with. At ease, complacent and happy, doing whatever crazy things you two can come up with.
The one person who knows you inside and out -not your "twin", but simply someone who truly knew and understood what you loved.
We're talking about someone with whom you would entrust your love and credit card to choose and buy and DO things that are important to you. :)
Wouldn't it be beautiful to find a friend like that?
*
And now, I'm just going to leave you with a beautiful quote-
-and a plate of cookies. ;)
Have a good day you guys~
