Mind Guards

It's good to finally have some personal time to myself.
I have been literally busy and crazy probably everyday in college until the point that I'm so tired of going out and gotten sick a few times on and off which is pretty ugly honestly

I've finally finished my first semester of my degree and it is definitely not a very good semester for me since it's degree. I've never expected it to be this hard but it is. Surprisingly the assignments were even more stressful then the exams itself. And due to all these assignments, I've been having zero time for myself and even to study much. I did have to steal time to sneak some personal time off with some of my close friends.

It's been a tough semester and some of the close one I talk too were really supportive, by encouraging me to do what I should and I'm really glad to meet you all in college ;)

I am sure there are people probably going through the really tough times in their lives right now, especially those who are going through the horrible tragedy of MH17 which I did teared up reading when I saw the toy monkey which was photographed at the site. I am putting all my condolences from my heart to those who are involved and I pray for you to be strong and not to give up. This year has been tough for Malaysia. So, to those who are having tough times, do reflect on this tragedy and to think you still have the chance to change what you dislike about your lives. That's what I am going to do now and should stop blaming anyone including myself. We should always:-

-Real Friends
Surround ourselves with friends that care truly about you where they constantly send you text messages and send you weird website links to weird videos. These people will cheer you up and make you feel like you are important to them and surrounds you with positivity. They would come when you call and will make time to actually have a simple lunch with you. Find friends that would automatically think of you as part of their plans that keeps on check with you.

-Hobbies
Do things that you and only you like. If you are hanging with a bunch of friends that are constantly asking you to do things you do not really enjoy, stop doing it. It makes you feel pressured to accommodate too much and it may cause unhappiness. Fitting in is amazing but doing something you truly enjoy, it is even more amazing. If you like to crap, then do it.

-Food
Feed yourself and pamper your pallets with food. Anything you feel like eating, eat it. Of course, try not to overdo it. Too much of everything is not necessarily a good thing. Take one day off to detox by eating vegetables and fruits in your diet. Other than that, eat all kinds of food that makes you flutter. Pamper yourself!

-Beauty
Trust me, making yourself feel beautiful is one way to build self esteem and confidence. Take time to feel pretty by going to a saloon, do a facial mask or try a DIY body scrub. Paint you nails and try to manage your skin by going on searching for new moisturizers. Go on YouTube and watch ways to put on make up, how to keep your skin glowing it even learn how to make scrubs. It's always fun to see people do their hair or makeup and I think these are the best tutorials! I love Michelle Phan's videos. You should totally watch them.

-Coffee
This is ridiculously random, but coffee makes me happy as hell. This is my boost and my happy pill for the mornings where I get cranky and annoyed to classes. I would take coffee as my personal life savior because it totally feeds my palette. I love coffee from the smell of it to the process and to the taste. If you are a coffee person, congratulations because nothing beats coffee. Hehe.

Be grateful to what you have and cherish what you own.
If you keep looking anything a you don't have, you will never find happiness.
The fist step to be happy, is to be happy with yourself.


Have a great day ahead
