So the year is coming to an end and though it sure had its own dramas, it was more drama free than the last three years prior. Truth be told, I haven't had a more fun year. If I am to go through why this is, which I sort of reviewing any way in my mind, I would start with one word: CHANGE. I was single for a long time (since last year), after 4 years and by choice, spent the majority of this year as such, so I got to know a lot of new people. Then I did one of my biggest fears of my life, which was to quit the corporate life, job and steady pay. I am now self employed, with me trying to get gigs and clients to work with. Thus far, I have been more than lucky, I've been downright BLESSED.
Because
of all these changes, I now appreciate the little things in life such
as my breakfast. I love breakfasts anyway, but today I really loved
mine.
Technically it is one of my favorite breakfasts of all time, a cheesy omelet topped with flat leaf parsley and mixed in with a dash of nutmeg and a wee bit of cayenne pepper. Apart from that, it is DEAD EASY to make. Throw in a few slices of toasted multi-grain bread, slather on some butter and YUM.
A close up! :) Yummy. See the melted cheese on the sides???
My favorite mug and civet coffee that I got from Vietnam earlier this year. YUM. Bit of condensed milk in there then away we go :)
This is more or less my view when I wake up in the morning :)
Panthro
Then the cats take over the bed and the rest of my day.
Looking at Panthro, who wouldn't want to be a cat, right? All fluffy and vibrating.
A friend of mine is currently in Helsinki in Finland, a place I've always wanted to go to, and at the same time I saw this today as well :)
This is so so so my style of house, I love it. I would probably add a little more color though, pale greens and blues maybe, and a splash of red somewhere. I guess what they call Modern Rustic? Much like this. Urg, Universe send me some mulahs! HAHAHAHA!
If there was another word to describe this year, it would be OPPORTUNITY. I am being given such wonderful opportunities that I thought would not be available to me unless I had a day job. Nowadays, I wake up late, stay up til when I like, and have had been able to get the jobs that I actually was dreaming about in the day job. It is great! :) I can't wait til I start with it all! :) A movie (indie flick), then a new MP3 player, also there are some other things in the pipelines that aren't sure yet.
Apart from that, I have the opportunity with changing the jaded & cynical way I have been since forever, thanks to a new person in my life. I will slowly introduce him, but I will take my time in doing so. We just get on really well, and he's slowly turning into one of my bestest friends.
Now, I will end this by doing
TEN THINGS THAT MAKE ME TERRIBLY HAPPY THIS DECEMBER based on this blog.
Here we go:
1. the gloomy weather; I like grey weather;
2. I also like the cool breeze when it is sunny;
3. white cheddar popcorn with a dash of cayenne pepper;
4. hot dark chocolate, also with a dash of cayenne pepper;
5. warm feet and hands;
6. cold and crisp sheets;
7. my friend Camille's baked brie;
8. midnight snack dates to secret places;
9. being home and being able to call my own time;
10. realizing that my dreams are actually DOABLE and getting them DONE.
Talk again soon :) Til then, keep toasty!
