It's May!

Hello there wonderful people!  How's May treating you?  Mine's been pretty great except for the fact that I've been suffering from a bad cold/cough since Labour Day, so it's been a week now.  I'm not sure if it has something to do with the weather in Macau and the sudden changes in temperature (rain=windy/chilly; sunny=scorching hot).  Oh well, I should be used to it by now, but apparently my body isn't.  Moving on, I initially thought of posting this during Labour Day weekend but did not get the chance to do so.  I even thought of posting my "MAY Goals", but I never got around to doing it.  Instead, I'm sharing my photos I took in April with my phone.  It was a wonderful month, as it was mostly about food!  (Food=Wonderful life) 

Oh Happy Days!

Gone are the days when I had the privilege of sleeping at dawn and waking up in the afternoon.  Life as an adult is not as promising as it seemed to me as a student.  Well, what did I know then?  I haven't experienced having to earn for a living at that time.  And now, there are times when I wish I could go back to being a student who knew nothing of budgeting salaries and saving up as much as one can.  Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of perks that comes with being an adult but for once I wish I knew what to do with my life and it's not as easy as deciding what movie to watch or which restaurant to book for a dinner date.  It's more than that because you'll have to think way beyond and actually see where you want to be in the next decade or so.

May.

Hi everyone!  It has been again more than a month since my last blog post.  I have to admit though, that I'm really bad at keeping up with this blog because I have just been so caught up with trying to live in the moment.  Yup!  You read that right.  I have been able to spend some quality time with my family, my big love - Carlos, read a book or two and go to class despite the fact that I have to work 5 -5 1/2 days per week.  Oh and I was even able to attend a wedding reception of our dear friends, Julie & Jerome.

Isn't their wedding cake just lovely?

Oh and other than being able to be with friends and family, I am proud to say that I have achieved my goal.  You see I've been struggling with work at some points, so I'm happy to say that I have been working for a year now and I know some people would think "who cares? and life goes on", but to me, the fact that I've survived for a year is an achievement.  It has been one heck of a roller coaster ride because I've had to cope with the pressure and learn how to deal with keeping my emotions intact while at work.  I'm telling you keeping yourself inspired and being able to have positive thoughts at all times will keep you standing, and of course praying would make things and your life 100% easier as you'll be able to have the strength to overcome obstacles that come your way.

Happy Weekend Everybody!! :)

Merci beaucoup!

March is one of my favorite months... only because it's my birth month!  HAHA!  I had no intention of celebrating my birthday, though I must say, I was fortunate enough to do so (with both my family and friends).  The celebration with my friends was really fun, we had a lot to eat and a lot of laughs and as expected, I got teased at some points for the way I speak (not that there's anything wrong with the way I do).  Anyway, it wasn't just my birthday that we celebrated but it was also a reunion for Tiffany came to Macau from Indo.  Yayy!  Hahaha I was really excited to see her even though we just met a month ago. 

The night ended pretty quickly and it was most likely because we were having wayyyy too much fun that we weren't aware of the time.  It's a pity that everyone had to leave early because we all had to work the next day.  Screw working!  Oh well!  I still had fun though and I want to thank everyone who were able to make it and to everyone who greeted me on facebook, wechat, line, twitter, instagram and via e-mail!  Thank you!  It's been the best birthday so far!

Thanks for the pressies!

I really love the presents I got and I'm so thankful.  I honestly wasn't expecting anything from my friends so this was really a surprise so thank you!

Thank you baby for surprising me two days before my birthday!  I was soooo overwhelmed with joy when I got back and saw this on the table with our sandwiches.  HAHAA!  Anyway, this month has been really awesome!  I just can't say thank you enough.

P.S.  I just wanted to share the moments and photos on my birthday on this blog and just to clarify, I have no intention of bragging or something of that sort.  I hope you like the photos.  Till next post.

Hi everyone!  It's been a while since I've last blogged again and sometimes I wonder whether I should go on but since I have started blogging and everything, I might as well continue.  Anyway, how's 2014 treating you all?  For me, it's been going pretty well.  I mean I've been able to catch up with friends and family.  I've been telling myself to stay positive for I have a feeling that 2014 will be an awesome year :)  Hell yea!  I'm so psyched already!  I am still not sure about my job though as I feel the need to find one where I belong and be interested in what I'm doing but for now I'm just gonna continue to go with the flow.  Anyway, I hope you are having a great weekend!

And so I bid 2013 farewell...

Before anything else, I would like to bid 2013 farewell...  It was, once again, a memorable year though I wouldn't consider it a great year.  I was however, able to accomplish some things which I'm very thankful for.  Of course I wouldn't have done it without God, my family, boyfriend and friends.  I'm done being a student in reality although I wish I weren't.  But at least I've made my parents proud that I've graduated with a Bachelor's degree.  I've started working and I was able to go to another country, thanks to the company I'm working for.  I was able to spend quality time with my family, boyfriend and of course my friends so when I think about it now, 2013 wasn't really that bad.  I just had a lot to endure and I had to adapt to working life, but I'm over it already as I've decided to stop complaining (which I highly doubt I'll be able to do) this year.  After all, 2014 is a new beginning and I have a feeling that this year will be LEGENDARY!  Hahaha And yes, I've been watching "How I met your mother" a lot these days so that explains the word.  I hope 2014 is going great for you all!!  Cheers to a new awesome year!!

Snapshots of Le Weekend.

Heeeeeeeyyy!!  I've been having such a great time that I forgot weekends only last for a while.  I was able to catch up with two of my homegirls from high school which I really think we should do more often.  I met up with my boyfriend where we watched Thor, finally!!  Haha!!  Gotta love Loki! :)  Anywho, it's been a while since we watched a movie so I got pretty excited even though we had a little misunderstanding before that.  Oh well!  Afterwards, we went to the Food Festival where we got to pig out big time!  Yuuuuum!!  I should really stop myself from eating so much but I don't think I can!!!! gaaah!  I had a really great weekend once again though!!  How I wish I could just do what I want every single day!  Anyway, I hope you all had a great weekend and here's wishing you a great week ahead!

Nostalgia strikes once again!

Hi there lovely people!  How've you guys been?  For me, I'm still trying to adapt to my workplace even though it's already been more than a month.  Anyway, before I forget, let me take the time to say Happy Bastille Day everyone!!!!  I can't believe that this day, last year I got up really early to watch the parade by Champs Elysees with my girlfriends which is actually the main reason I'm posting this.  I've been feeling nostalgic again about my adventure last year because I had so much fun. And this year, the closest place I can go for holiday is Hong Kong.  Of course I do not want to keep thinking about how I do not have the time to go anywhere this year because of work, but honestly there are times when I can't help but sigh.  I promised myself, however, that I will be back soon, with my family and my one and only love.  Someday soon!  Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy the photos.

I hope you guys have a great week ahead.  Till next post loves!

xx,
Ginny
