Yay Scotty!!!

Wow what a finale, many delightful performances on American Idol finale stage! The end result also very satisfying :) Yay Scotty won! From day 1 I have been totally impressed with Scotty's voice, manners and poise *aww... One fine young gentleman from Garner, North Carolina. Kudos to his parents for raising Scotty! So now, I'm so looking forward for Scotty's first album (:

My Dream Patio

On a public holiday like this, I feel like chillaxing at my (future) patio. I'm going to build a patio exactly like this in Tontalete, Minahasa Utara. It will be a great addition to my home, especially because the view is already (more or less) the same! Until the day comes, let's just enjoy this photo shall we? Have a great day!

Written by Bob Marley

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.

When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quite calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. 

The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. 

Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

Mahatma Gandhi

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength."

Hair Tutorials

One of my favorite bloggers, Joanna Goddard, been posting quite a lot hair tutorials. Very useful when you have medium to long hair and completely useless for a girl who just cut her hair rather short (read: yours truly). 

Speaking of which, I originally wanted a pixie cut. I really really really wanted a pixie cut. And I’ve heard numerous things from numerous people, most of them had this "disapproving" look on their faces. I have rather chubby cheeks and a square jaw and not a very pointy chin. I love Jessica Stroup’s pixie cut. I think it’d suit me much better, especially since I’d love to style it. 10 minutes before cutting my hair, my husband forbade me to do pixie cut *supersadface*. He doesn't want his hair longer than mine. Gah!!! So, my hair now is just plain classic short bob, the shortest I could get. Boo! I hope someday he'd change his mind!! *fingerscrossed* #istillhavehope #believe.
