+ It’s been so long +

OMG! It’s been about 2 months I haven’t visited my blog at all. Yes, I’ve been too busy with this and that and in my free time I just wanted to spend with my big boy. :)

OK. There are so many things I want to put as updates here.

1. I finally had the time to draw a silly room plan…

And, believe it or not, everyone loved it! So, we tidied up the whole place together and it turned out so well, as planned. :D

2. I am fat again!! It’s just that I’ve been too busy and I had no time to exercise and when I got stressed, I ate a lot. I mean so much!

As soon as I can be free again, I shall do something about it. Sometimes, I feel like I want to have anorexia or bulimia. :(

3. What do you think about my new haircut?

It’s been way too hot right here in Bangkok. I sort of miss my long hair sometimes, but then this short one is not bad at all. Easy to wash, to dry to look after. What could I ask for more! But still, I’m growing my hair long again. :)

4. My digital camera has been broken by my 2-year-old monkey girl. :( Thank goodness, it’s the compact one, not my beloved D-SLR. There are a few lovely shots I took stuck in the camera which I haven’t been able to get them onto the computer yet. I will as soon as I get a card reader or, even better, a new compact camera. :)

So, the recent pics I have are mainly from my mobile phone.

5. I’m so excited about taking Mr. Holga out and about again. I really miss him and every moment we have spent together in old days.

Here are his fantastic works from the last road trip.

(The blurry ones are totally my fault. I don’t have a scanner, therefore, I have to put these prints into my camera so they would turn out to be in a digital format.)

That’s it for today! I’m so tired updating this blog, but of course, I do enjoy it a lot!

:D

+ silly thoughts +

..when I was feeling blue..

Someday, I will be heard.

Someday, I will be seen.

Someday, life will be fairer.

But now, I’m in between.

Some days, I feel happy.

Some days, I feel sad.
Some days, I have a hard time.
And end up making someone mad.

Life is hard.
Life is short.

Life is scary.

But it’s all I’ve got.

I eat.

I sleep.

I work.

Get paid cheap.

I laugh.

I cry.

I walk.

Wish I could fly.

I breathe.
I see.

I’m someone else.

Not me.

I was born.

I will die.

I wonder.
Then I sigh.

Somewhere nice and simple.

Sometimes not too long.

Someone I really love.

Somewhere I belong.

To be continued when I feel blue (again)

:D

+ the issue +

Yeah, as you could see, probably about a month ago when I started to get addicted to quizzes on Facebook. I’m sorry that I’m a selfish bitch but I don’t think I see anything wrong with that.

I mean, can’t I do anything I want with my Facebook account? OK. My news feeds on your ‘home’ page might be freakin’ overloaded, because I couldn’t stop pressing “Publish” once I finished each quiz. I’m totally truly sorry about that if whatever I’ve done bothered you. I definitely didn’t mean to.

The thing is Facebook has provided the users a special button called “Hide”, at the end of the first line of each news feed, in the case that they do not want to see someone’s news feeds. Hiding the whole thing of that person or just specific one is absolutely up to the users. No need to ask that person with this kind of question: “So, you want me to hide all your updates, right?” Well, it’s totally up to each user. Don’t people this “AGE” think anymore?

For example, I bothered each and every friend of mine with all my silly quiz publications. Each and every friend of mind could just click “Hide Shieri” from that button. [No need to ask for my permission if they can do so or not. None of my business! Sorry for being so careless.] So everything I decided to publish wouldn’t be able to bother them anymore. Obviously I’m not that interesting to have super-duper stuff to update on my status, as I am just this dumb ass farting about Facebook, so anyone can just ignore my news feeds. But if you clicked that button and suddenly want to know what’s going on with this dumb ass, how about looking at my profile?

I don’t need to know whether all of my stories will be hidden or I’ve been deleted or blocked by someone forever. I mean, just do what you want, OK? But for my friends who love doing quizzes, PLEASE keep publishing. You never bother me at all. Someone asked me what I’d feel if her news feeds are all over my ‘home’ page. I haven’t told her yet that “I’d feel excited. I’d read them and maybe give comments on them. I’d do the quizzes afterwards if I haven’t done them yet.” [Satisfied with this dumb ass’ answer?] I’m sure she’d wonder how on earth someone brainless like me can still live in this planet. Whoa! :P

At the end, I’d like to apologize to every person listed as my friends. I am so so sorry if I have annoyed and bothered you with my stupid lifestyle. I really don’t know it has caused you all such a big trouble in life. Please forgive me. But if you don’t feel like it, just delete me from your list. I know I deserve that.

Thank you.

:D

+ lovely little trip +

In mid April, I finally got the chance to head to the beach. Unfortunately, my monthly visitor arrived at such a very wrong time. No matter what, I was finally on the beach – the happiest moment of the year so far.

The place we stayed was so nice, but crowded with kids. I guess it is a family-friendly hotel as all the facilities they provide are for all ages.

Walking along the sandy beach, feet touching the sea water, hearing the wind blows, watching little crabs running, looking at people and being under the bright sky. What else could I ask for?

O.K. Except the fact that I didn’t have my bikini on.

O.K. Except the fact that I didn’t bring a book to read by the pool.

I only stayed there for a night. Too short though, really.

I’m not sure where the next destination will be, but I do hope to get to India some time next year. :D

WORK HARD!

SAVE HARDER!

+ new books on shelf +

I haven’t had the chance to write on my blog at all in the past week, been busy working on Hamish’s book and also with the school events. So 3 posts I’m giving! :P

Last week or so, Hamish was so kind that he really bought me 2 books. Unbelievable, wasn’t it?

I can say that one of them is my most favorite book so far – with the stories, the illustrations, the concept, OK.. the whole thing! I’ve finished reading it twice already. It is this super cutie pink little book called “The Pink Happiness”.

Everytime I take a quick peek at this book, you can see a smile on my face. :D

Another book I want to talk about is the book I’ll definitely keep with me as long as possible, like those old ones standing on my shelf.

Have you had a dream job? Mine is a traveler. I haven’t been quite successful with it. But I will be one day, hopefully in 10 years’ time.

This book takes me to Tokyo, where I long to visit again. The thing is I don’t get to see only those sassy places I’ve been or always heard of, I’ll also get to see Tokyo in so many different angles, i.e. the little corner in Shinjuku or on the way to somewhere by train during rush hours.

The book itself looks totally awesome. With the layouts, page designs, Polaroid photos. I couldn’t resist not looking inside when I saw it at the bookstore. And once I looked inside this book, I couldn’t resist leaving one of them there. Yes, I took one home with me. :D

I think it was the best week I’ve had so far this year. Thanks a bunch, HoneyBunny!

:D
