Monday Blues

Yes, its one of those monday blues. Weird urge of not wanting to end a phone call or just simply lie in bed but not wanting to sleep on a late Sunday night before has its consequences when you have to go in for a full day job the next day. 

Today's note to self :
1. I shouldn't fret so easily on certain things but sometimes, I really can't help it. Am gonna try, one thing at a time. Can't wait to start crossing things out of this checklist. Heh
2. Sleep early. Well..by midnight. Hopefully :)

And just thought I'd share this,
Perseverance is not a long race : It is many short races, one after another – Walter Elliot

Perseverance. A reminder of our goals in life and why we have them there in the first place. Everything we have is here for a reason and we should always persevere. More than having a goal because of someone else, always have it because you yourself want it. Now that, when achieved, is satisfaction *winks*

Shower me Down

There's something really beautiful about taking a long shower in the dark when there's a thunderstorm brewing outside. There's something quite about it that's quiet, calming..soothing. A sense of je ne sais quoi. The room in darkness with the only light coming from that little lamp by the bedside and from the curtain slightly drawn back letting in the last low golden rays of the day that made it through the grey clouds and onto the parquet floor makes you just want to stop in your step and gaze at the beauty of it all. The greyness that I can see through that little window above my head as I stand beneath the shower makes me feel safe where I am. The smell of cold rain hanging fresh in the air can never smell better as you breath it in amidst the dark surroundings. Inhaling deep and long like it's never going to be enough. That yearning for more of it. Feeling the rhythmic movement as your chest rises and falls and feeling so in tune with your body, it feels strangely good. And you know that soft zzhhhhh drum of the  heater's water pump as it works? It's like soft comforting music to the soul. The toilet door left slightly ajar sends the soft music playing from the room wafting in and a soft stream of yellow light into the toilet illuminating the blue and white checkered mosaic tiles of the bathroom's floor. All this as you feel the droplets of water patter and slide down your back, scrubbing yourself in and smelling like fresh apricots after. Towelling dry and curling up in bed, I can only wish for more days like this.

A little update. Wokieee lets see
1. My first day of job tommorow! For the next 3 weeks at least. Gosh, early mornings once more. Definitely not used to that.

2. Jogging today was terrible! Sheesshhh. Must've been the late night and late morning making me feel so lethargic. Plus the omg weather that we've been having this week. Seriously hot. Like no kidding.

3. The sunburns are getting better! Though uhmm, I do look like a reptile currently undergoing a phase of the changing of skin. Whatever you call that scientifically.

4. Out of context, but I wish I am more a straightforward kinda person *explanation removed* Rawr

5. Had a small surprise birthday gathering for Mademoiselle R. Got her a clutch bag that I thought was just so her. It was B&W, had zippers running aross it horizontally, cute and well, it reminded me of a zebra as well. You see, she has a thing for zebra's. Don't ask why. Did she like it? I'm pretty sure she loved it. Hahah!

6. Has developed a liking of strolling down streets and walking into boutique shops. Well, I meant those with unique pieces and things but at an affordable price. High end ones like ThirtyFour are well..lets just say that they take alot of kachingg outta your bank account. But I gotta say, those Italian leather on those bags. Yummyyy. Love love love the rouge bag. And ohh, the mustard coloured one that caught mon amies eyes were a darling as well.
