deceitful in grey


Don't let the sunny and blue skies deceive you, it is still winter here in Calgary. Yup, I braved the cold once again to get these shots. You are looking at -28 degrees. My hands were freezing and my bum as well from not wearing gloves and wearing a shorty short skirt. Nonetheless, it is perfectly worth it cos I loved how the shots turned out. You'll be seeing more of these brightly-lit shots prolly when Spring is in full bloom. I am guessing that won't be anytime soon cos I looked at the weather for the next 14 days and it is still the same -10 to -30 awful coldness. 

As if the cold isn't enough to make me gloomy, I had the most terrible weekend of my life. I was working last Saturday for my boss' mom when I suddenly felt nauseous after lunch. I thought it was only because I over ate (think steak, salad and sweet yam) but I kept coming back to the washroom vomiting like crazy. I rarely get sick so I told my boss that I cannot stay and work for another minute. My sweet boss drove me to the clinic instead of driving me home and I still stayed in the washroom for as long as I can remember suffering from diarrhea and nausea. The nurse had to put me into a room, let me lie down as I was holding to the pan (in case I feel the need to vomit and I'm telling you, I still did a couple of times in that room!!) like my dear life depended on it. It is true though, I never felt so sick in my entire life. I felt like my tummy was being punched over and over again. It was so painful I screamed a couple of times. Alas, the doctor came and said that I am suffering from Norovirus which is highly contagious and I must have possibly gotten it somewhere...anywhere, actually. I was advised to rest, go under liquid diet for two days and no dairy for the next 4-5 days.












I'm so sorry if that story made you guys sick out of your stomach but some people from twitter tweeted me that they had it too and it is really very horrible. I am still in bed nursing from that experience. I thought I was gonna die...the stomach cramps were that severe, I'm not exaggerating! All I've been drinking since yesterday was Gatorade although I did have asparagus soup today for lunch while watching No Strings Attached to kill my boredom. My tummy still acts up every now and then but not as terrible as last night. I haven't vomited too ever since I started taking the meds but I've been drowsy and sleeping like a baby cos of it. I feel gross and i've been imagining some greasy bad food like burger and fries as I eat my soup. On the brighter side, I do hope I loss some unwanted weight cos of this.

Okay, that's it for now. I better rest and eat asparagus soup with Gatorade...once again. Being sick sucks.

never underestimate the power of hanes

when i say i'm back, i mean it. happy friday everyone!!!

today started a bit rough for me but i easily bounced back and thought, "haters gonna hate. let them. get back to work." i've been through something like this so i know how to deal. i've always followed this mantra: "Treat everyone with respect even those who are rude to you � not because they are nice but because you are." and thank God too because i believe in the golden rule.

moving on, i did some DIY last week and it was this hanes shirt that i converted into an off-shoulder top. i just patterned it with my off shoulder top from zara. i think i need to put a string at the back too like that of zara's to keep it in place. although i love a plain shirt because it is easily to mix and match, i am planning to do another DIY with this hanes shirt. i plan to sew my old bib necklace to one of the shoulders to make it more non-casual looking. of course i will share it with y'all when i'm finished :)

so there you have it, your old hanes shirt transformed. not just one but two possibilities...probably even more! tell me if you have more ideas!

when did skirts become this good? i swear i have so many skirts in my closet too that i don't know why already. so many skirts, so little time.

P.S.
since i have nothing better to say:

? Dont cry over someone who would never cry over you.

? There's AMAZING power available to those who can walk away, SAY NO & go on to new adventures.

? When love is not total madness, it is not love.

? You know how they say, "you can't live without love"? Well, oxygen is more important.

? You can't give what you don't have.  

? Human beings often display emotion they do not feel. And they often feel emotion they do not display.

? Heartbreaks are overrated.

? Tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth.

? If it is not working, change.Recoveries seldom recover.

 ***especially ?s the last one. AHEM. AMEN!
