Thankful Thursday


I have to admit that the end of my really tough and crazy academic week is looking really great and hell yea, gorgeous just like the photo above. Took this shot while I was walking to Chancellor's Place after walking Connie to her office.

Tute paper and discussion went pretty smoothly and there were some funny moments in class because as usual, I went all ghetto and punk. Hahaha. Well, it certainly adds life to the tutorial. When it comes to Politics class, I try to level them up by being all ghetto at times and it makes my tute mates laugh and I like that.

Insomnia is taking over my life so I haven't been sleeping properly which also made dozed off in MSTU3001 class while watching Take Off. If it weren't for Connie's email that shook my entire table forcing me to wake up, I would have slept throughout the film screening.

Went to meet Connie for our much urm awaited semester coffee session. Wasn't really a coffee session since both of us got soy hot chocolate in the end. It was as usual fabulous catch up - spoke to her about the recent NZ trip and the adventures I had there plus how I think NZ is the right place for me should I want to work overseas or if I do consider moving there for a bit. Funny and maybe the most lucky thing about the NZ trip that I managed to escape from being affected tremendously by the horrible and strange weather there. After we flew off from Wellington to Queenstown, Wellington was hit by an earthquake and just days before that happened, there was a massive storm. We were supposed to meet last week but we had to reschedule due to her being busy with markings and I wasn't in any good state to meet her as I had my own battles to settle and Connie was really sweet about it, offering help or basically asking me if there's anything she could do to help me go through it. When we spoke about it today, it was nice to hear from an adult's perspective and she made a few good points that also made a lot of sense. I was pretty relieved to hear that the decisions I have made so far is actually a good sign to restart my life and loved how she assured me that everything will be okay. Wouldn't have been able to survive Brisbane and the many ups and downs living without the parents if it weren't for Cons's positivity.

Today has been a great day. This week has been pretty fantastic albeit the crazy amount of assignment and work to be done but nonetheless, I have managed to complete most of them and have not delayed any submission. Coffee with Cons definitely made the day and a great way to end the week. Really, extremely thankful for such a wonderful day. :)

My love, she keeps me warm

Remember the song 'Same Love' from Macklemore? If that song made you cry and stirred up so many feels just because you can relate to it and by all means you believe in same love, lo and behold, the lady who co-wrote and sang the song, Mary Lambert released 'She Keeps Me Warm' not too long ago. Honestly, I feel Mary's parts are the most relatable ones and perhaps because I am a girl in love with another girl, it sure did close to home.

Just listened to the song today and a huge wave of emotions swept me and I couldn't stop tearing up because the lyrics were exactly the same things that ran through my head when I think about my love, how we first met, when I first saw her and when I knew that I am pretty much head over heels in love with her. I saw the music video which premiered on Billboard and it brought me sweet memories on how we got together - perhaps not the same way as in the video (it'd be a dream come true to fall in love with a barista but hey, one thing I have learnt from this relationship, she was nothing like my dream and in fact, she was better than what I have always dreamt of), the same emotions on Mary's face when we first held hands and at the very start when I would steal a few glances to look at her. Our love is beautiful and yes, my love, she keeps me warm. Tried and tested especially during -1 degree weather conditions. :p


The ending of her music video on Billboard showed a background of Seattle and it was beautiful and made me thought, while everyone wants to be held and kiss before the Eiffel Tower, I too want to do the same thing but in Seattle. Don't ask me why but I am a little fond of Seattle and Paris is too mainstream. Lol.

This song got me at the very first verse and I think it is becoming one of the top songs that will be on loop for a while. A great song to get me going this few crazy weeks just because I know I can draw strength to survive the incredulous tough journey ahead from my love and at the end of the day, before I head to bed, I know I am blessed to be with somebody who makes me laugh, smile and keeps me warm even if we are miles away from each other.

Sup baby cakes!

In June, I bought a domain since the one in Wordpress.com expired but till this very day,  2 months and 23 days later, I have yet to set up anything or even log into my website server. Call me lazy. Yeah, I guess you are right. But, in my defense, I have been traveling and moving and now back to school and fighting assignments and wow, so many 'ands'.

Well, I decide to just go back to the simple blogging days and use Blogger.

Look out for more stuff in this space and please give me a little bit more time to sort out my domain matters.

Be right back, errbody!
