Day 1: A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

I present to you a webcam photo of terrible quality. Terrible quality refers to the photo, and not to me of course. But if you somehow dislike me and since I am now too busy learning to love myself instead of trying to please you, then you can continue to be misunderstood and believe that I am of terrible quality.

I digress. Anyway, I'm not a very photogenic person. I've always believed that I look somehow more decent in person.

Honestly, today has been a very uninteresting day like nearly any other day since I'm pretty much stuck at home. It's just me with my very short attention span!

Multiple tabs on Mozilla Firefox is probably the most convenient yet also the most distracting invention ever, because I just cannot focus on anything. This minute I'm blogging, the next I'm on Twitter, another on Youtube.

Okay, it's not distracting. It's just me with my very short attention span!

I better stop before my blog post becomes too boring instead of something of more substance like this blog. I'm glad that the blogger is back to blogging, because I'll finally have another source of reading material with some intelligence and thought injected into it - which is becoming increasingly rare.

Cheers!

..but stolen lives can never be returned.

Today's entry is to highlight the recent tragedy that occured in Japan. I would like to post excerpts from my friends' blog posts regarding their views about said incident.

I think this is just the beginning of major changes that are about to come. We will only know the meaning of happiness after we have defined sadness and destruction. I'm still counting my blessings till this day and the time when I'm at my happiest could be someone's darkest. When we're all snuggled up and warm in our beds at night, we should take a moment to realize what our future holds and how just 5 minutes destruction can change everything.

I hate it when people make fun of things that matter.

"But Aiysyah, it's in Japan/Philippines/Hawaii/Russia - not Malaysia. So why bother worrying?"

Because their pain is worth of my worries. Lives of strangers matter way more than your petty problems. They matter way more than my own petty problems.

I don't feel very chatty about natural disasters like this. It makes me feel like I'm all talk and no action.

With our own set of everyday problems, I would like the readers of this very humble blog of mine to watch Christine's tribute video. It really serves as a reminder to all of us how lucky we are. And honestly, I don't know how much longer we can stay this fortunate to natural disasters of such an extreme rate. The state of Earth is constantly changing, you know.

Let us keep Japan in our prayers.

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
Or…you can click hereto go back to reading!
