Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

Hanky

January 21, 2014. Tuesday. 4:54 P.M. At MOA. I had no idea that I will be here today. I called in sick this morning at work, giving myself some extra rest but I decided to leave work for the whole day to make the most of this so called ‘’me moment’’. It’s the enrolment week for the next term and I have a trip on Saturday with friends so I can only go to school during weekdays, i.e., another leave from work. So instead of going Thursday, which I initially planned yesterday, I went this afternoon.
 
After school, with no particular itinerary in mind, I found myself heading here to get away with myself for a little while. I took a walk and now I am having Turk’s meaty on-the-go snack roll (or whatever it’s called) and YohFroz’s strawberry banana smoothie. I love anything with strawberries so I love this moment! While savouring them, I felt something is different today, less crowded and relaxing, than the last time I was here. Then I started to recall that day and realized that it has been exactly a month (31 days ago) since I first dated Dwin. Thus, it inspires me to write this. It’s not the conversation I was expecting çoz I was hoping to write my last term’s paper requirement ones I find a conducive spot to do it. Well… I am still writing anyhow. It was then a season of love and smiles and everyone deserves to be happy. Indeed, it was ‘coz I was happy too hanging out with him. We passed by this place where I am comfortably situated. Now, I wish he is one of the few by-passers, who will then see me and greet me, ‘’Hi, Dais…’’. Hahaha Childish!
 
And… the old man sitting on the other table across mine just farted really loud and it was quite a lasting ass-roar. It ruled among all other noises. What the heck? Seriously? Do I really have to pause and listen to that when I am having a fantastic moment? ‘’Forgive the old man, Daisy. Look at him, he looked sooooo relieved…’’. Yeah, fine, lucky it didn’t stink! *pheow* lol
 
Anyway, while my right hand is scribbling this post on my notepad, my left hand is freezing I couldn’t put down my cup of smoothie. I love it too much! Slurp! Yummy strawberry smoothie!lol:-P Then I remember, I had a strawberry pearl shake with him that day. It was cold so he took my cup and wrapped his hanky around it. I reacted coz I thought that was too much. I mean, I didn’t want his hanky to end up damped, but he insisted. It was weird that I allowed it. The domesticated part of me prevailed hahaha sorry tiger! Well I never want to mess with my own hanky that’s why I always carry dry tissue in my bag but I felt confident he won’t regret it later so why not let him. I’m just not used to simple gestures such as that so I was touched anyway. ‘’C’mon, Daisy, give yourself a break!’’ Yes, absolutely I am! ^__^ Now, sitting here with my freezing hand, I just wrapped my hanky around the cup. It’s actually quite… pleasant on the hand. Looks like it’s gonna be a new habit. ‘’A good habit or a bad habit?’’ Emmm… it’s harmless so for a change why not adapt it even for a while. Ahh! I’m feeling sweet tickles up and down my spine and around my childish heart. What an adorable feeling! I think I look foolish with a cheeky smile I couldn’t wipe off my face right now! Sh*t, enough Daisy, enough! ^__^. Alright, it’s time to move. Later, alligator! ^__^.
