lesson of the week #1 - stop whining

DO NOT AGREE?

try saying only negative things and only positive things to yourself for one day and see how that separately feel. what you felt are probably what your friends feel.  

不同意？

嘗試一整天只對自己說正面或負面的話，看看自己分別有什麼感覺。

你所感受的應該也是你朋友所感受的。

[personal bullshit]

this is what I learnt this week after a gathering with some old friends. I have been whining and complaining about everything for the last couple of months. I don't know how they feel because they obviously won't tell me straight to my face that I am annoying. But I've came to a point that even I am tired of myself. It's really time for some changes. 

這是我這一星期的體驗。突然發覺我已經好幾個月每一次跟朋友談天都在對人生投訴，

我都快要把自己逼瘋了，更何況是我可鄰的朋友們。

是時候改變了...

what's your experience? do you whine? 

As said by Audrey Hepburn- happy girls are the prettiest

I heard an interview on the radio last sunday before I head to my blu-e energy class. The interview was about a boy who takes polaroid pictures for people in Mong Kok. I've never been there so I couldn't tell you the detail of what he does, but I am planning to go visit sometime this week or next week so I can have more in depth information about the whole thing. He was talking about his experience and he said something that was really inspiring to me. He said －

星期六無意中聽到一個電台訪問，訪問者是一個在旺角西洋菜街幫途人照“即影即有”的一位男生。細節不在這邊交代了，反正我對事情也不太清楚，找一天去探訪後再慢慢跟大家分享。在訪談中男生說了一句話令我感受很多，他說－

"I found something really interesting doing this business in Hong Kong. Every girls or guys who came for the photo shoot know how to smile perfectly in front of the camera. People would rather smile in front of a machine than smiling at a living person next to them."

“拍照這麼久，有一件事情我覺得很有趣。每一位來的都懂得拍照時要笑得開心。但大家都寧願對著相機笑，卻不願意對身邊人笑一下。” 

This is very true. The reason why people would choose to smile in front of the camera is because they knew happy people are the prettiest, and they want to capture the prettiest side of themselves. It's very interesting because people knew the fact, but they don't want to look pretty in front of the people they love. Or is it because you know that they will always love you no matter if you look ugly and grumpy everyday? It's the high tolerance that spoil us to be the grumpy self these days. Start living differently today, don't be selfish and show the best side of yourself to people you love (or not love). Why don't we start doing an exercise from today and see how life changes? Start your day with a big smile to yourself, and live throughout the day by smiling to every person you see. Let us be beautiful together.

我覺得他講得很有意思，人之所以會在照相時對著鏡頭笑，是因為大家都知道只有開心笑的人才最美。如果大家都知道這道理的話，為什麼卻不願意對身邊愛的人展露最美的一面呢？從今天起，不如我們大家一起做一個練習。由早上起床開始，跟每一個見面的人笑一下（不要忘了鏡中的自己！）一起變身做大美人吧！

let me start first by giving you my very big smile!

身體力行，由我帶頭送你一個大微笑啦！

MATCHY MATCHY

// do you have the habit to match your wallpaper with your iphone case? 

i currently bought myself this keep calm and carry on iphone case. i really love the quote and the color so i thought i will be really happy using it. but no. i hate it when i first put it on, and i didn't know what's wrong. i kept thinking about it and i came to realize that it's the wallpaper that it's not matching thats why it is looking a bit strange.

now you are probably thinking. 'oh come on, it's just a wallpaper'. yea, IT IS just a wallpaper. but because the trimming of the case is showing in front, that's why the wallpaper does matter in this point. i am not saying that every case need a matching wallpaper. if you are using a black case or anything that's more neutral in color, probably it will match with everything that you put in that screen. however, when it comes to vibrant color like the one above, a non-matching wallpaper is going to give a great impact of the over view.

i immediately changed the wallpaper for both the home and lock screen. and viola!! im happy as a lark. lol.

if you are looking for some home screen wallpaper to match with your personality or like me, with your case! here are some of my fav. ones that i've looked online. click on it for download and get your phone matchy matchy like mine!

KILLER DEALS

all ladies are going crazy (well, at least i am) for all the sales going on in the city. to be honest, i love shopping. not like i love buying things, but i tend to fall in love with most things i see because i can always see the potentials and beauties in them even thou they sometimes might look super weird to the majority. okay. enough bullshit about me. i have had a wonderful day yesterday hanging out in ifc. my original plan was to go there and get myself (or my future business) a new 27" imac. i was really happy about that already, but i could not resist the temptation of the sales going on in zara.

straight to the haul, i didn't get much things because im trying to control myself as im currently jobless right now. i got 2 pairs of beautiful high heels, one top and a little bag. yes. that two beauties up there in the photos are the things that caught my eyes when i went to the shoe section. what drove me crazy is that i normally couldn't get anything during the sales period because of my shoe size. but since they have it in my size i just have to get them. 

the neon ones are the pair that i will get without thinking. i love everything neon and patterned. so this shoes def. scream my name all over it. the heels look kinda terrifying for those who are not used to wearing heels/ but to my surprise, because the platform in front is so high, this shoes actually feel super comfy in walking. i am not a heel person so im not saying this becoz im used to wearing high heels.

the 2nd one are more elegant i will say. these will be sth good to keep in your closet so you will always have sth nice to wear on special occasions. and for me, these are sth i need for my performances. LOVE THE HEELS. the lighting is a lil bit off here, but it is metallic and reflective so it will make you stand out in the crowd. higher then the first one but still super comfy to wear.

OH YEAH, THE PRICES ARE WHAT WE ARE MOST CONCERN ABOUT. 

neon/ $199 black/ $399. CRAZY DEALS FOR AMAZING SHOES LIKE THESE. 

this 3rd thing is not as exciting. ive never thought of getting this because i actually like the leopard one better. but ive given in some thoughts and i know that the leopard one is going to wear out like crazy in times. and since it will get super ugly very soon, i switch to this black studded one. $399, same price as the shoes, but i like to keep little bags like this with me so i can be organized.

so that's everything. 3 things is not exactly an exciting haul. but i just have to tell you guys about the shoes. grab them if you can. 

stay chic

xoxo
