Dear Diary,
I apologize for the overdue entry - was supposed to have done it over the weekend but it kind of slipped my mind, amongst other things I had going on.
May was a rather busy month, with work starting to peak, and pick up. There were good news (lots of cases closed - not just me :x) etc, and bad news (a kind of family member is hospitalized - get well soon!).
There was a dilemma with work that left me wondering if I should have chosen yes or not, to take on a certain role. However, now as circumstances go, it seems inevitable that I would be the one for the role after all. Wish me luck alright. it is going to be a challenge.
The main writing project has been put on hold and I am kind of focusing on the other BLOG now - it is just a leisure blog meant for some reviews and impersonal stuff, but I am glad the advertising dollars are ker-ching-ing in and the events invites are starting to come. I also became the featured reviewer on a couple of prominent sites.
I am so blessed with supportive friends who usually let me decide on venues to dine at, or choosing places I have not been to, so that I could write about them! What wonderful people they are! Thank you darlings, muachx muachx!
So, there had been a mini trip to a regional area for some food, shopping and just relaxation, none other than revisiting Batam Island.
There was celebrating of the Beau's and my 8th year anniversary.
There was celebrating of the Mom's birthday and Mother's day at a restaurant she brought her mother thirty years back! I kept making reservations for 6 persons even though the sad truth is that we only have 5 now. But oh well, I believe he was there with us in spirit :)
There was a cousin's wedding at Marriott Hotel where we watched the gorgeous couple entering nuptial bliss and mingled with the rest of the paternal cousins, some of whom we only get to see once a year.
Since the demise of my loose face powder from The Body Shop (Shade #001), I have been going around trying out different brands hoping to find something that will make me feel the same. I took most recommendations that came my way - BB cushion by Laneige, loose powder by Clinique, by Laura Mercier, by Muji. So far nothing fits as well, yet.
Then there were other events, and the Dumpling / Dragon Boat festival, Labour Day holiday and thus ended a lovely but busy May 2014.
Again, it is daunting to note that time has taken flight once again, eating up nearly half of 2014 that fast! The quick sands of time?
There are many movies that I want to catch this month too - Grand Piano, Occulus, Mindscape, Grace of Monaco, to name a few. I hope I am able to find time for them. I have not been attending plays or musicals for so long too.
Rest in peace, Maya Angelou - I just love her poem "Still I Rise".
Finally, I believe it is vital to let go of bad things that we don't need in our lives, so as to make room for things that are better. Words to live by - I shall leave you now in the cold hands of the deep night and may you stay tuned to this page! Kisses!!
