You can be comfortable or courageous, but you cannot be both.
Everything feels like a blur lately. I'm not sure if I am feeling lost or I just have too many unanswered questions to the point that it's already stressing me out. I just want to run away and escape but I know I can't. At the end of the day, I just have to deal with all of it and face all of my fears.
I don't want to return to that negative cycle I had in 2016. So instead of sulking and having sleepless nights, I will be spending my time learning more and reading more until I am ready. Well, it's actually helping me prepare for anything in the future.
I'm not sure if I am making any sense but let's just say, I'm planning to take up on more webinars, workshops, I will read more articles and books, I will watch more videos, etc. Every day will be a learning curve for me.
Have a meaningful Sunday!
Love lots, xx

What really amazed me with this graphic novel is the art. The illustrations were beautifully done and vibrant. While reading, I found myself staring at each page just to admire everything. But it did not change the fact that I'm still lost in the story. I kept trying to understand what's happening and it felt like I missed a page when I didn't. Maybe it was just me but I think there were mini stories in this volume that they were trying too hard to attach just so they can say it's all connected.
In conclusion, it was a massive roadblock of confusion and I hope the authors will shed light to readers like me because I still believe that there's more to it than the art. I still think that the story can be as wonderful and colorful as all the illustrations.
Happy Reading Everyone!

It's good to be back! After a well-spent trip at Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year, I'm so excited to be back on my own bed. I'm spending the last few minutes of my Sunday reading and catching up with my blog-logs. LOL! Back at it, too!
How are you spending yours? :)
More updates soon!

Remember 2016? What a year it was. It almost felt like it will never end. It was challenging, frustrating, heart-breaking, and it made us nearly give up on hope. Almost everyone hates it. It was the worst.
But when I decided to start 2017 with a more positive perspective, I saw everything in a different light. Last year might be harsh and we might have lost someone or something along the way, but I believe most of us still got something out of it. I believe we all became more resilient, stronger, wiser, and fearless. As cliché as it may sound, you probably felt the same way. Instead of losing the idealism we've been holding on for so long, we clasped it even tighter with conviction.
Everything might not be forgotten, but at this point, it's all forgiven. At least for me.
This year is about moving forward and welcoming another chapter full of new beginnings. Let's all face it with the most beautiful smile we can muster.
Cheers to 2017!
Love lots, xx
