New Template!

Work has been exhausting.. So many things to do, so little time! Feeling really sleepy and lethargic right now, but I wanna see new posts in the blog before it gets too rusty and I'll just abandon it! Wanted to make changes to the layout so I googled for floral blogger templates and I found so many I was spoilt for choice! Really love a few of them, pictures and links below! :D

I love this template second best! It's calming and peaceful, not too much yet with intricate details like the bricked walls and leaves background and faded edges of the pages. It was a hard decis

ion between this and the current one! Shall change into this one next :)

Sunflowers are my happy flowers! If anyone wants to cheer me

up, a sunflower will totally do the job! This template has a happy vibe with a serene feel to it, ranked third best!

This one reflects my hopeless romantic side perfectly. The faded roses, the dotted pages.. Simplicity at its best!

I name this Crabtree&Evelyn because it reminds me of the brand as the name suggests! They always use butterflies and floral themes on their paper bags and packaging. Lovelyyyyyyyy!

The notepad design is timeless and beautiful complete with sweet ribbons and floral pages! I personally like this a lot and it's definitely gonna be one of the templates I'll use although I find the brown background a tad too dull. But it makes the contrast looks good. It reminds me of Lydia, my very sweet sister who loves ribbons and all girly stuff!

This one is more structured and neat, but it doesn't represent me well enough. Too organized in my point of view :P

Tadaaa!! Last but not least, the one that I chose! It was love at first sight and it really appeals to me and my personality! If only the phone is an iPhone! Haha I really loveeee my iPhone to bits! :) Found the fonts to be too straight so I decided to change the fonts from classic old Georgia into Homemade Apple and High Tower Text <3 Spent quite some time figuring the html out using trial and error but it was all worth it! Seeing the new design just makes me so happy :) :) :)

P.S. All the designs are sourced from here & here!

Need to sleep now, shall blog soon! Till then, xoxo

Leap Year February 2012

My favourite picture so far!

Can't feel blessed enough for having you to lug the heavy chest of drawers with me! THANK YOU x999999999! YOU ARE THE BEST :) I mean it! Hehe looking forward to assembling it soon!

I edited all our pictures and printed them out, collating them in a photo album and gave it to him as a Valentine's Day gift. He likes it! Haha simply love looking at him going through the pictures and smiling. He was so amazed by how I did it. But I kinda cheated by using an app called Red Stamp on the iPhone. :b It's so easy to use and it's FREE! After printing the pictures I can't help but feel an urge to do another set for myself. Till your next book out, x

The ending and beginning.

I have finally gotten down to creating a space to share my thoughts. Initially I created a tumblr with that very same purpose, but the reblogging button is just so addictive I never really penned down anything in there. Tumblr has a lot of pretty stuff and meaningful quotes and all but I guess I wanted something different, thus this space! So in a way, it’s an end to my procrastination and beginning of something new. I am a sucker for new things and change so I hope I will stick around. (:

So, 2012. 2012 began with a single resolution in mind, which is to STAY SINGLE. Following the events nearing the end of 2011 I guess I got intimidated with getting involved with one relationship after another, dealing with the whirlwind of emotions and heart wrenching moments. I’ve walked away from all these learning that the quote “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” is so true. I gained some and I lost some. But this year I’m not going to deal with any of this. Just some breathing space after 6 years of being attached to different guys. That aside, being single doesn’t mean being lonely, although it really feels downright depressing especially deep in the nights at times. I just want to take this opportunity to rest until I’m ready to love again. And the next time I do, I will still give my 200%, to someone worth it. Definitely didn’t see this coming as I always had the notion that as long as I wanted it bad enough, tried hard enough, I’ll reap what I sow. How untrue is this shit. Guess that’s life. Because you can’t expect everything to work according to plan, which is also the beauty of it.
