Immerse Yourself In The Deep Blue Of Mykonos

Waking up at 4am for the ferry boat to Mykonos. Thank goodness for the smooth sailing journey. It is indeed a very beautiful place with the blue sea and blue sky with all those whiter than white buildings. Can't see any clouds here. 

The 'Ibiza of Greece' came alive during the evening as its famous for its nightlife. I was told that it's a famous spot for the gays. But I just can't comprehend it, why people have to go certain places to be accepted for who they are? Is it because they are too afraid to admit what they are that made the society bolder in spitting unsavory comments and judging them? Come on! Move forward whether you are a gay, punk or whatever. Just be yourself...

 

Selfish or selfless? 14042015

Every single journey into the different corner of the world has become a lesson in life. Words can't explain it. 

Grew up learning about the greek myths and legends, I was totally fascinated by the stories of their God and goddess, Titans and all. It's a dream comes true for me to be finally coming to Greece. It's a complicated feeling actually. I felt overwhelmed by the great history and yet it had reminded me again that nothing is forever. 

Visiting one of the legendary UNESCO World Heritage site, Kalambaka( Meteora). Originally lived in by 11th-century hermits, the monasteries later became safe havens for monks fleeing bloodshed when the Roman Empire began to fall.

It can be said that there are two types of people. One that is called to selflessly serve the higher calling, another is to selfishly serve their own selves while claiming otherwise. Just like some well known figures that we know so well.

You Don't Decide For Me 15042015

When ancient Greeks and Romans had to make decisions, they consulted the gods—by drawing lots, casting dice, interpreting dreams and analyzing such signs as sneezes, thunderbolts and flying birds. But for matters of the utmost importance, they sought to hear the words of the gods in the mouths of oracles, the Pythia.

Things don't change much........

We got so used to contemplating over some decisions in life, both minor and major ones. Then we started to go back and forth with it, asking for opinions and such. Time was wasted doing all these when we in fact had decided it. We were just lack of faith in ourselves. That's a very sorry fact to mention but it's the truth. Why do we always need another person other than ourselves to validate our opinion? We decide things for ourselves not others. You can't decide for me! You don't have that authority over me! I wear what I want, I eat what I want, I go where I want and I can color my hair with colors of the rainbow when I feel like it and that's my decision.

  

       

                                

                                

My Crazy Theory

I have this crazy theory while I was in Acropolis looking at those architectural masterpieces of the golden age. What if our entire life is a lie? What if it's a conspiracy theory? Our time isn't even the actual modern time. What if there was some civilization way back in time that was way advanced than us now? What if that whole civilization was suddenly wiped out like Pompeii?

Long Distance 09042015

People think I'm nuts for loving long distance flight. 8 hours is already to torturing for some, but for me the longer the better. Make it 18 hours for me. It's the only time when I can detach myself from work. I have this love hate relationship with telecommunications. It makes my life easier and at the same time it's makes me feel miserable. Communication has become too easy, anyone can reach you anytime from anywhere in the world. I know that I have a choice of not picking up those calls or replying those messages and emails,  I feel so bad doing that. With long distance flight, there's at least 8 hours of non connectivity for me, I have no choice but being disconnected. Not my fault right?  That means no emails to check, no calls to answer and no messages to reply.   Just me on board enjoying my in flight entertainment, meals and sleep. That's is pure bliss for me.

Counting down to the day of my departure. I'm going to Greece this time, the land of Gods and Goddesses. 

Packing is always difficult for me. So many days and so little that I could bring with me. And yes, that's a bag within a bag for my shopping haul. It's really hard not to exceed those airline luggage weight limits.

Meeting Baby Ashton 09042015

Visited Frances and baby Ashton today. Look at his hair, so dark so original. He smells nice too. A very good boy. 

Kids like this makes me want one too but the thought quickly dissipated when I thought of those horrible little monster, little destroyer, little tantrums throwers and noisy crying and screaming and kicking kids. It's worse than watching a horror movie. The worst thing is, what will happen to my dogs ? I dare not imagine what will they do to my dogs. 

Not everybody is blessed with a nice and easy going baby like this.

Mission Accomplished 08042015

I have finally done sorting out my accessories! DIY'ed the watch and hairband holder and also the jewellery box slots. All you need is some black felt and glue gun. 

Let's just hope that they will always stay as tidy as it is now.
