I am "Me"

Every morning you wake up and the first you probably due is head to the washroom to get ready and when you're there you'll wake up to see yourself. YOUR TRUE SELF. Messy hair, no make up, no heels or nice clothing. Just you and your comfortable PJs. Nowadays, so many people focus on how important their image is and stress about how others see them. Numerous advertisements, in  fact, promote and sell the idea of the "perfect" image. Young boys and girls whom are now attached to their hand held devices such as smart phones and tablets etc are exposed to such ads everyday. You click on YouTube on your iPad or computer and you'll be forced to look at an ad of some sort, and out of the thousands of ads you'll probably be exposed to  one that talks about how to achieve perfect hair, skin, body structure etc.

I don't think many of us can step outside without wearing a nicer piece of clothing, not wear any facial products or makeup, and have our hair fixed the right way. It's true, no company, no public place would accept the fact that a person heads out looking like a bum.  If there was a person who just wore a big t-shirt and baggy pants or just PJs with messy hair and bare face, people would probably look your way and judgemental thoughts would be racing through their minds like " what's wrong with him/her?" right away.We cannot control that. However, there is one thing we have control of, our acceptance of ourselves. If you can accept that maybe you don't have the perfect skin like the model of the Olay ad does, or maybe you don't have the perfect wavy dark brown hair the model of Pantene does, or maybe you don't have beautiful blue eyes with  curled eyelashes like the model on the mascara ad in the magazine does; you have learned to love who you are. If you can look in the mirror in the morning and say, "Hey, I actually look pretty good without all that product slapped on my face." Congratulations, you have learned to accept your true self. You have learned that no one else is as special and as unique as you are.... you can be proud and say "I am "Me" and I am unique!"

Love yourself, have fun!

Summer... the splash of fun begins!

I love the summer months, with the hot weather we can enjoy lots more activities, foods, and the best part... staying up late while the sun is still up when its 21:26 at night. AWESOME. Summer in my opinion is the most colourful, liveliest, and exciting seasons of all with bugs all over the place, people wearing short shorts, eating ice cream for breakfast, and just having the permission to be lazy and relax. I am a summer baby... I was born in August and so to me the Summer like "my season" I feel like I am more involved and I actually have something to look forward to!

Somethings I really like to do during the summer months is waking up early and heading to the pool and excercising, second of all evening walks after dinner (yah, even when mosquitoes feed off of you like you're a piece of juicy steak), and thirdly, the numerous possible things you can do with your wardrobe from mix and match to patterns, to the basic plain t-shirt and jeans with a pair of ankle high sandals. =^___________^=

While the warm weather is still around, head out and have your splash of fun before it's too late!!!!

P.S. Please pray and support Albertans affected by the Flood 2013 that occurred in June! Help and support is much appreciated for numerous families who have lost their homes due to the severe damages of the flood.

Thanks!

Back from HK and Japan!

Finally back from a fun filled trip full of adventures and fun! At the end of April I jetted off to Hong Kong to visit my Aunts I haven't seen for 12 years and got to squeeze a tour to Tokyo for 5 days during my 3 weeks stay in HK. This year was really a year I solely traveled alone with my childhood friend (of 18 years)...no parents! Let's just say without your parents behind taking care of things, you become a lot more cautious and careful. But then I must emphasis how much fun I had...no curfews and no pre-made plans, just me and a friend and we would go wherever we wanted!

Just wanted to say thank you to that very special friend of mine for a fun trip! It was really a great trip and I look forward to more adventures with you in the future!

I will hopefully pull some time out of my work schedule and update the travel log page with some funny things that happened during my 5 day stay in Japan!

Cheers!
