Something a little exciting

A couple of months back I signed up for On Wander. It was pretty mysterious because all its said was claim your username and no other details were released on what the site will be. The only clue was you know it'll be a Social Media site.

Last week, I opened my inbox and received a notification. I had completely forgot about it. What the email says that they're starting Wander Weeks which is an orientation for On Wander. The site will be launched on the 4th week!

I can't wait but I am beginning to have a feeling that On Wander will be a social media platform for adventurers bitten by wanderlust. The whole site is beautifully done!

I can't wait what next week brings!

What's your mantra?

Its been awhile since I last posted. A lot has happened since then. I'm no longer with my previous company but I have found a position in another and I am still doing what I love.

My first job was a disappointment. I was left with doubts and what ifs on my career choice.
For a person fresh out of school, to have failed in my  first step into the working world left me.. defeated.

I have no idea what made me hitch up my big girl panties, suck it up and change as I'm really a doom and gloom person by nature. Maybe it was a combination of Mr Wonderful's relentless pep talks, being sick of my endless self-pity, a dose of Zen Habits and a nudge by God?

Well whatever it was, I am thankful and I adopted Leo's philosophy of Breathe. It became my mantra when I go through a rough patch and pretty soon, I was living it.

No more self-induced panic attack from the crazy self-defeating conversations I have inside my head!

It's time for a new mantra.

I actually considered briefly, "Do what you love, love what you do."

After thinking about it, I am doing what I love and loving it. Totally defeats the purpose of what I think a mantra should be. Should you wish to have your own mantra. I have two points to guide you.

A Mantra Are Words And Ideals To Live By

As the heading above says, your mantra should be something you should strive for. Ask yourself questions like, "What do I want to do?", "How do I want to live my life?", "What do I want to achieve?"

Pretty soon you'll have an idea of what your mantra is.

Your Mantra Could Be As Simple And As Cliche As Less Is More

When I first started thinking about my new mantra. I was obsessed over how it should be unique and different. It should be my own. It got to the point where I was unhappy that I can't string together a bunch of words.

Don't be ridiculous as me.

Breathe was a simple and wonderful mantra. It was easy to chant and easy to remember the meaning behind it.

So.. what's you mantra? I'll share mine the next post. :)

Cramping my style

I need a laptop. Its so difficult when you don't have a laptop of your own.

Its numero uno equipment a blogger need. You can't blog without a laptop. Even if you borrow one, you don't have the programmes and files you need on hand, even with a handy dandy portable hard drive. :(

So till then, blogging is going to be sporadic.

In the meantime. When Instagram finally landed on Android, I went trigger happy. Here are some of my faves I took.

Monday Inspirations

Yikes. Its Monday. The weekend flew by so fast don't you think?

Anyway to add some cheer to your Monday Blues here are some beautiful and inspiring things I've found. :)

 

A beautiful commentary Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's tempestuous love.

A little getaway inspiration for me. Pulau Tioman, Malaysia. Crossing my fingers that everything goes as planned. :)

Paperweight.

Love this pattern.

Beautiful embroidery.

And on another note, Remember my post about my awesome yacht cruise?

Well guess what? The Grand Cruise deal is ON at MoxDeals! Trust me, its totally worth it.

I floated no scratch that, I swam

The event is finally done.

We did awesome in my honest opinion. A few hiccups here and there. Nothing major.

How do I feel?

I FEEL F****** AMAZED! Can't believe I was part of this awesome team that made it all happen.

There was a point where, I found time for a breather, a lull in my busy schedule of running around the whole site and I just took in the sight before me and I went "Wow." And then it was back to running around making sure things are running.

Now, what the hell is happening to the world?? I've been out of it, time to play catch up and to get back into the swing of things.

I'm back people.

Hello?

Staying Positive

I must be honest. I am a person full of doubts. I procrastinate. I am lazy. I am messy. I am at times apathetic.I am fearful. I am not perfect. I am human.

But really, saying you're not perfect or you're only human is a sorry excuse.

I have to try.

What is holding me back?

I can only think of one thing.

FEAR.

When I'm afraid, I feel helpless and its easy to lose sight and forget why you're doing it for. I think its difficult to let go of this fear but really, its not.

All I do is breathe. Breathing. It calms you, it centers you. It keeps you focused.

Now, I've just got to remind myself, to take things slow. To do things one at a time and to see through to the end result.

So Close, Too Close

I am kind of panicking right now.

No, scratch that. I am panicking. Its sink or swim time.
