Smile

Hello you, how've you been?

I'm resuming normal life for about 2 days.

And by normal I mean sitting in front of the computer tumblrin', updating my blog, reading other blogs, watching girly youtube videos, researching on food and recipes and getting hungry etc. My usual routine. Mundane and pointless, yet satisfying as I consider this ME time.

The past week has been hectic and I was drained, physically and emotionally.

What's new in the life of Alicia right? I remember how I always used to feel this way because of school, friends and relationships. But now... I'm thinking anything compared to -this- is trivial and would probably measure up to almost nothing. I just wanted to stay in a hole until everything falls back into place. But thank God for strength, wisdom, family and a few lovely friends. I am feeling better and stronger. I have to be strong for the people around me. I don't have anyone to feed off energy from. For once I have to stop thinking for myself and instead for the people I love the most.

Not gonna explain the situation above cause it wouldn't be nice if the whole world knew about it and I don't think I'll ever forget that. However, I think I might have STM on certain things so this post will help me remember my thoughts and things I have to do.

# After working at a cafe, I've learnt to appreciate drinking coffee without sugar. Just espresso with frothed milk is perfectly fine for me. I've learnt how to make legit coffee. 

(Note: Learnt, not master. I've still a long way to go.)

I stopped drinking Starbucks and I saved quite a bit of money from that.

# I've been thinking a lot about baking and whipping up my own dishes. I miss being in my kitchen. Because of work and such, I haven't had the time to DIY anything at all.

# Thrift Shop is still on repeat on iTunes, sometimes Creep by Radiohead.

The first one is for when I need a perk-me-up and the latter is for when I just wanna be quiet.

# Been staying at Grandma's and I'm loving her company. I hope she appreciates mine too :)

It felt like I got married or something cause I go back to my mother's during the weekends.

# I'm currently addicted to watching 2 BROKE GIRLS.

My all time fav for now. It's a show about 2 American girls who have no money aspiring to own a cupcake business. They work at a diner and one of em' has a handsome boyfriend. A comedic chick flick that's right up my alley ♥

# It's funny how I smile more when I'm at the hospital compared to when I'm outside.

It's not that I'm happy being in a hospital, I hate it. I just feel that sick people wouldn't want to wake up seeing solemn and depressed faces. Life's so fragile and if something so small like a smile can make a person feel better then what's there to lose?

# Gotta do a makeover for an article tomorrow and also a photoshoot for next month's FLARE issue.

Ok that's all for me to remember.

I have so many things in my head that I have to keep a planner, a diary, a blog, twitter, instagram and tumblr to remind myself. Hahaha I kid. They keep me busy and entertained.

Goodnight.
