Set Up Camp On The Front Step Of Each Moment And Always Say ‘yes’ To The Present Moment.

Love and stress: Multitasking doesn't come easy, unless you're not aware that you are multitasking. I have found myself in a predicament that involves being childishly in love and staying focused to get through the last few weeks of university. I'm not here complaining about life, but to talk about how I feel and how I am managing this stage of my life. This stage of my life is actually the topping to a bitter dessert. I've been studying ongoing and 5 years later, I am literally coming to the end of my schooling years. In about two weeks I am officially done and can start looking for a proper job. But lately I know that I have been slacking with prioritizing uni with love. When you're in love, all that you want to do is spend every breathing second with your companion. No matter the hours and hours spent together, it just isn't enough. I could lay in bed all day without a single thought of having to get my assessments done, I could stare at his face without getting sore from smiling from happiness, I could listen to him talk for hours without being afraid to get sick of his voice. It feels like paradise with every eye contact and I honestly don't think I could ever get sick of studying his expressions. In the other hand, I am quiet aware of the fact that I keep pushing aside work that will determine whether I will walk away as a teacher or not. I am aware that I may be enjoying the love life a little to much. I am aware that all my assesments are piling up, and they need to get done as soon as possible otherwise I will become an owl. I am aware of it all and I am somewhat stressed about it, but the advantage for me is that I am quiet a chiller when it comes to meeting deadlines. I find myself work better under pressure, knowing that I need to get it done. That is how I deal with it. I've gotten through the past 5 years of uni with this attitude and this performance. If I had done it wrong, I wouldn't be here today... So I must be doing it right... In my own way. Loving him has been the best thing that's happened to me since I bought my first ever car, which was a huge step into my pathway to becoming an independent young woman. I know that my work needs to be done, I am quiet informed of it, but being in love is just so much more fun. I will get my work done eventually.

Oh Miranda stop it

What you think, you create.  What you feel, you attract.  What you imagine, you become.

Bali Retreat

Bali has never really been a location I've wanted to see. I've been to Thailand and assumed that Bali would be similar; hot, packed, dirty, beggars, annoying street markets and people ripping you off. But wow was I shocked!  And yes to an extent Bali was similar to Thailand in relations to the weather, shops and street markers. Early January was my first trip to Bali, during this time of year is their wet season (but still hot as hell). It was a trip more focused on exploring Bali, relaxing and pampering rather than the party destination scene (which most people assume Bali is), but I did go to a few bars and enjoyed a few bevys... or two.  

This post is more a reflection in combination with some recommendations for many beautiful places I stumbled across while in Bali.

We landed Saturday midnight at Denpasar airport. The minute you walk out of the plane, the heat and humidity hits you in the face. This time of year is the wet season and because it’s such a hot country, the rain makes it dry and sticky.

Aminosity towards unknown

The other day, someone broke into my car by smashing my window. This made me furious because all my identity was gone, the thought of someone else knowing my details gave me a nightmare. Not only that but now I am left with the responsibility to get the window repaired. I was full of rage and felt like the world was against me. I wanted to do bad things and prayed that the thief had something terribly absurd happen to him/her/them. I hated the person who did this and I don’t even know the person. 

After so much anger , I realised this behaviour was something I was against. I acted like Emily Thorne from Revenge. The anger was eating up my peace. I took out my anger to the people who are closet to me. I felt so angry at everything. I cried because I was annoyed. Within a week, this behaviour needed to stop. I reflected and knew I had to accept what had happen, and move on. I realised I was being a sook. Why was I making a scene over something I could repair? People are suffering from illnesses, dying of hunger, fighting to stay alive, and I’m over here crying over a stolen wallet.

Bad things will happen but we cannot let these bad things take away our happiness. Some people are raised up with no love, all they see around them are hate and how to survive on a daily basis. I need to not cry over a materialistic item and focus on the real humanity issue.

Mantra

I search to be completely human; to feel, to give, to talk, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love; to just be so human

Single Fin and  Badang Badand Beach - Uluwatu

We came here with no plans aside from accommodation and notknowing much about the landscape/landmark of Bali. Using instagram as a guide to see the pretty places, we get a taxi (he ripped us off $20 for a 10 mins ride) to Single Fin and the surroundings. We were greeted by the locals with many endless smiles, some spoke to us wanting to know what nationality we were and overall they were just such beautiful and genuine people. We basically spent our whole day around Single Fin, enjoying the ocean view and surfers catching big waves around the cliff. We than headed to Badung Badung beach, which was a calmer beach/ocean with many market stalls full of beautiful and vibrant coloured materials.
