Living Her Dream Life

I dunno... When I was a lot younger, I saw a lot of Nickelodeon series... Icarly, Sam and Cat, Big Time Rush etc. Really loved the lot. But between then and now I haven't really many TV series. I think Suits will count for a TV series. And if it does, then it'll be my favorite. I just love the way the characters' lives are interwoven, the plot twists, the law talk (I've always admired that profession), the drama etc. Each character had its own flaws and mega points, but altogether they were beautiful. And Donna? OMG.  She's gotta be my favorite movie character of the decade. I was really hooked. I just like the way the story was not tied around 'Mike and Rachel', the major stars in the movie. That way, when the Duchess of Sussex left to fulfill her royal duties, the series went on for another two or three seasons at least. It's okay that they dragged out bringing Harvey and Donna together until the very end, even though we all knew from the very beginnin...

My parents got lucky. My siblings are some of my blessings I count more than once. Honestly, I imagine my life would have been more grim and dark without them. I have five siblings: three girls, two boys, each different in their own way. I think what I value most about them is our ability to stick together through anything, and how we come through for one another when the need arises. We're not the mushy kind of siblings, but we're there for each other even in ways we don't realize. Last year, when my mom died and I broke up with my fiancé right about that same time, I was so depressed that I stayed off social media for months. Luckily, I was home at that period...and all my siblings were too. Hanging out with them helped me to not fall apart as much as I would have wanted to. Our in-jokes and sense of humour is topnotch. They have their flaws and imperfections, and I disagree with each one of them every once in a while, but they're still the best in the world.

I don't have one, really. I've never had one. And I've longed for one for the longest of times. I'm the girl who walks alone. Sure, I keep a lot of friends. But I realized, I can only tell how I feel about people.  Not about how people feel about me. So, I could call you my friend, maybe even think we're getting really close, maybe even try to get real real close, and then...boom. You drop the boulder that'll crack my heart open. I really don't do well by emotional heart wrenches, especially those coming from people I love or highly value. It's true I come through it looking all sunny like Jesus just died for me, but I know better than to set myself up for heartaches. I've kidded myself on having a best friend. Twice. The first is still one of my girlfriends today, the other is my ex. These days, I just flow with everyone. Of course, I know to define my boundaries and all, but I don't obsess over having a best friend. Maybe I will, maybe I won...

I wake up this bright morning with peace in my heart, and a sunny smile on my face because I had a great night. My little boy is stroking my chin with his tiny fingers...and as I open my eyes he flashes me his wide two-toothed grin. This is like the sweetest feeling in the world I pull him into my bosom and hug him, then I pick him up and head towards the kitchen. My darling husband is there with the girls, as they try so hard to replicate my new sushi recipe. It's Saturday, and everybody is home. Breakfast will soon be ready and... INTERMISSION Everybody has a dream, no matter how tiny. Something you look forward to. Something you long for. Something you wish for. That feeling that comes with having your dreams fulfilled, that's happiness. That feeling of no care for the world, that's happiness. That feeling of contentment, security, and gratitude, that's happiness. That feeling when you care about what the world thinks about you, that's happiness. That feeling whe...

Music is one is the mysterious things God created... Subtle. Smooth. Fluid. Sometimes, it takes the shape of its container. Other times, it rinses out dirt from its bearer. Sometimes, it leaves its scent behind. Other times, it restores your sense of smell. Music heals. Music gives. Music takes. Music becomes. Music captivates. Music lifts. Music reveals. A tool and a master. God loves music. And so do I.

I'm not a movie person. On a norms. But I enjoy seeing good movies, especially when they have a sharp storyline and unexpected plot twist. (Well, plot twists are usually not unexpected for me, 'cos I have a script writer living in my beautiful head.) I'm more interested in the lines than the graphics, that's why I almost never watch a movie without subtitles. I don't do really long seasonal movies. Anything above 2 seasons is beyond me. (The only exceptions till date is Suits.) I easily get emotionally invested in the screen characters. I check the cast, look them up, see what their "outside the movie" life is like, see them in other settings, their current looks, personal life, feats and flaws etc. See? Considering I never have all the time in the world that I need, I think you'll agree it's best to keep them good, few and far between. Most of the movies I really liked were movie adaptations of books I read, or that had novel adaptations. And they...
