A Life in Black and White

am not your usual lady in the neighbourhood. i could be fun-loving and ambitions blazing, yet chilling with a good book in hand. loves audrey hepburn movies, lemon-lime-&-bitters, vintage anything and furniture. am not one effortlessly impressed. i see my goals, my dreams and the enjoyment would lie not merely in the success at the end of the road but in this journey of life. livin` it, lovin` it, keepin` it real. i travel alone, i travel light, in my 20`s - la vie est belle!

Bring It On! :)

How can or should I sum up the past year? Least of all, I had (as usual) a myriad of experiences (both good and bad). I’ve had my share of heart-break, finding love and breaking hearts too… (Something I’m not too proud of by the way). My friends and family were there for me, with the new friends providing new insights into what’s out there, yet undiscovered in this world. I’ve also seen myself grow in maturity, which only a year ago, I never could even have forseen.

What else can I say about 2004? All this is still very strange and new to me, yet so easy to embrace. I must be getting softer with age…I question myself repeatedly “Am I kidding myself?” “Will it work?” “Am I setting myself up for more heart-break?!” But who knows these things? All I really know for sure is not to ‘think’ but just ‘do’. Just go with the flow, and the master plan will be revealed to me in time.

I did make an effort to delve into new frontiers too, so much so I don’t even know what I want to do anymore. I just want to be involved in everything! I am now what I’ve deduced, a Modern Odd-job Laborer. (I work hard for my dough!) This year will be filled with mental strength-and-skill-building with getting in-depth knowledge on certain subjects.

Okay! Summing up- Last year did have its pit-falls and soars into the heavens but one thing’s for sure- I’m willing and ready to get into the coming new year with a fervor like none other felt before!!!

Peace out and have a good one folks! ;)

Take it easy, breathe deep, embrace and accept.

Here's one for the new year!...cherrios...

" The first-rate friends - Help correct your mistakes by showing you the right path.

The second-rate friends - Encourage you and stay with you in adversity.

The third-rate friends - Hang on influential people and are snobs to all the rest.

The fourth-rate friends are dissolute, and lead the rest astray. "

" Ordinary people imagine that merely

Owning things will make them happy.

But the transcendent practitioner,

Knowing that possession is oppression,

Sees emptiness as happiness, because it is endless.

Attachment is a kind of paralysis.

But if you do not move a leg,

How can you move ahead?

Renounce attachment and walk into a new place. "
