Girl Crush - Shay Mitchell

I have gotta say, I'm am totally in love with this lady.
She is none other than Pretty Little Liars star:

I have always liked a person who never changes no matter how far in their life they have progress and stick to their roots and true self.  It's hard these days to find these sort of people.  People change and become stuck up, but not Shay, that is why I adore her (and yeh, she's beautiful too).  I remember seeing an interview, Shay was asked what's her favourite handbag.  Being as famous as she is now, with all these endorsements and designers wanting her to parade their stuff, Shay's response was a Chanel bag that she brought ages ago.  She worked hard and saved for ages just to buy that bag.  You'll still see her use it now from time to time.  So to her, it doesn't matter if there are newer bags or more gorgeous bags out there, stick to the one that matter most to you.  The bag that she worked hard for and still keeps it close to her....as it's a reminder of her root and starting point of how she got to where she is today. 

Now Shay plays a lesbian character in Pretty Little Liars.  When asked whats its like to play a character who likes & kisses girls, her response was simple:  "I think of them as a person I love, regardless of gender."  Yeh, no labels for this modern beauty!!!  She is also a group role model to plenty of teens out in this world.  Not only a good role model, but also a mega down-to-earth star for all her fans.  Some might say it's cos she have to promote the show, she have no choice but to be nice.....I beg to differ.  I see how geniune she is with her fans, answering questions on Facebook, Twitter, Ustream live chats etc. and even set up competitions for fans to win stuff.

Another aspect I like about Shay is how she treats her friends.  Ok, Ok....what would I know right??  From what I can see....her friends love her.  She is great friends with her co-stars..esp Ashley Benson (better know to their fans as "Shayley" or "ButtahBenzo")

Basically to me, this lady can do no wrong and is a goddess to all her fans...me included.

How to LIve in the Moment

Just take time out each day, see what really pisses you off.  But when you get home, it all seems to disappear cos there is always something at home that makes you find your inner peace.  :)

How to Live in the Moment

Waiting game

Its torturous that there is nothing to do whilst waiting for something. 

Dropped my car off for service at 9.30am, was earlier told it'd be finish by 12pm the latest.  Wasting 2.5hrs is gonna be a drag, but now I'm told it won't be ready until 1.10pm at least.....this just makes it more annoying. 

I was going to wait for my car at the place, bum out and watch their boring tv, but decided to take their courtesy drop off at Garden City instead.

Whilst waiting for the pickup, bumped into the guy who I brought my car off.  He remembers my name too, thought guys got bad memory with girl's names?!? Once again he's trying to flirt with me. He brought up the whole karate thing again. I already told him no, not interested in going to his co-owned karate business to learn how to kick people or whatever. Luckily I was saved by the guy driving me to Garden City, otherwise he would be talking/flirting with me for the next 2hrs.

Usually shopping for majority of girls would be heaven or paradise, but for me with nothing in mind to buy, it has become more of a drag of time.

I have taken a tour of the whole shopping centre twice, all this by 11am. I've even tried to go and watch a movie but there is nothing good on that I want to watch. *sigh*

Now I'm just sitting in a coffee shop typing up this blog with a large cappucino.  The workers have already come around to see if I have finished my coffee, trying to take my cup away.  Dude, I only had like 7 sips of my large coffee.  Bugger off, I need to waste time by slowly sipping on my coffee.

Now I'm just wondering if it'd be too rude if I bring out my tablet and start watching tv series.  I guess it might not be.  

A lady opposite me is apparently wasting time too by making a big mess.  Scratch-its, she have a big pile of them.  And it seems like she have packed a picnic and is slowly sneaking it out from her bag and eating it.

Now its only 11.24am, what the hell am I gonna do until 1pm????

----

Update: 12.48pm

Waiting to be picked up from Garden City to pick up my car. Have in the meantime typed up another blog (not published yet), look through my whole twitter feed, scroll through my facebook posts, get updates on the Ashes Perth Test match, swore at the dropping AUD and looked for more funny GIFs. Another 20mins wait. What a boring start to the day. And now I'm close to bouncing off the wall from my large coffee.  YEH~~~

Can't stop laughing at this one.  Miley Cyrus, your song came into good use

Xmas sales is on NOW

You know its the time when the sales are on when you start seeing discounts. 

Like I brought a jacket today for $149.99.  The original recommended retail price was $499.98 (!!!), then it reduced to $249.99, and again down to $229.99 before finally hitting the price of $149.99. 

You have sometimes gotta really wonder if it really does cost that much to begin with.  I reckon with $149.99 sale price, they are still making a profit.  Sometimes you just feel bad for those factory workers who are paid minimal wage for companies to make huge profits.

But hey, I'm happy with my jacket and I love it. 

45 Life Lessons, written by a 90 year old

I read the article below, found some of them already being put into life quotes with pretty pictures circling around on the internet.

45 Life Lessons, written by a 90 year old

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short not to enjoy it.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for things that matter.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful.  Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to be happy.  But it’s all up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over-prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words, ‘In five years, will this matter?’
27. Always choose Life.
28. Forgive but don’t forget.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give Time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d
grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you think you need.
42. The best is yet to come…
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

THOUGHT(s) OF THE DAY

It's only fitting that today's quotes are from Nelson Mandela.  

A true icon for freedom in our era.  

RIP Nelson Mandela 1918 - 2013

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Today is International Volunteers Day.  Think this quote fits today perfectly.

Learn from these

“Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference. 

Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for your convenience, not the callers.

Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is. 

Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river. 

Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. 

Don’t major in minor things. 

Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller, Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. 

Don’t spread yourself too thin. Learn to say no politely and quickly. 

Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. 

Don’t waste time grieving over past mistakes Learn from them and move on. Every person needs to have their moment in the sun, when they raise their arms in victory, knowing that on this day, at his hour, they were at their very best. 

Get your priorities straight. No one ever said on his death bed, ‘Gee, if I’d only spent more time at the office’. 

Give people a second chance, but not a third. 

Judge your success by the degree that you’re enjoying peace, health and love. 

Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly. 

Leave everything a little better than you found it. 

Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation. 

Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life and death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems. 

Never cut what can be untied. 

Never overestimate your power to change others. 

Never underestimate your power to change yourself. 

Remember that overnight success usually takes about fifteen years. 

Remember that winners do what losers don’t want to do. 

Seek opportunity, not security. 

A boat in harbor is safe, but in time its bottom will rot out. 

Spend less time worrying who’s right, more time deciding what’s right. 

Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every area of your life. 

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get. 

The importance of winning is not what we get from it, but what we become because of it. 

When facing a difficult task, act as though it’s impossible to fail.”

— Jackson Brown Jr.
