12.12.12

For the highs and the lows. The days of being completely on my own, days of pure joy...

For those who have broken my heart, those who have tricked me into loving them by wearing a disguise, those who love me more than I ever have myself... 

The scary moments, the moments of utter embarrassment, the laughter-filled nights...

The family I miss (but always close in my heart)...

The friends who've moved on and the friends who've stayed close...

The tears of happiness, tears of sorrow...

For confusion, clarity, and everything in between.

These are the things that bring me even closer to love. These are the things that are meant to happen.

These are the things for which I give my thanks on this special day (12.12.12), the things that make me love my blessed life. 

Every little bit of it.

I love you. Have a nice day. ^^

Follow the Brush

If you follow the paintbrush with your eyes without moving your head, it forces you to use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which is a therapeutic technique to calm anxiety or panic. Watching fish swim causes the same effect. 

Keep calm and enjoy your life. I love you. ^^

P.S: I tried this, and it actually makes me sleepy. :p

Sky's the Limit

I frequently look at the sky while enjoying the view anytime anywhere. It's like my new hobby. The sky, which is constantly above us every night and day, is such a wonderful creation by God. When I look up into the sky, my brain just stops..wondering how high is high, how far does it go, and why do clouds smear like that? And sometimes I feel like looking back in time.

Yes, it’s a freedom zooming out of your brain and into the unknown. Staring up into the sky, as the clouds roll by, way past the trees, deep into the stars, as our spinning world reminds us how small we all are. It literally freezes the time especially when I'm drowning in stress. You know how it feels like to have so much in plate and no "me" time. So this is how I relax and remind myself that I'm not alone, that The One who could make things easy for me is always up there. :)

These are some photos that I took recently:

Subhanallah. 

On Life and Love

Did you ever notice how a stranger's smile can turn your bad day around? How much sweeter reunions are, the longer you've been apart. How much you appreciate warm in a cold day, and cool in a hot day. How great it feels to relax after a week of going non-stop.

Life's weird like that. But in a way, life's beautiful like that.

And so is love. The more you hold love in, the less loved you feel. The more you let yourself love, the more love you experience. The more you love, the harder you sometimes fall. And most importantly, the harder you fall for the wrong love, the more you open yourself up for the right love.

And when you fall for the right one, you're forever held by the wings of love, never allowing you to fall again.

Have a great weekend. I love you. ^^

Paramore Returns

I've been really stressed out lately due to the awful lots of assignments and presentations. Deadlines were close to each other. It drove me crazy.

I presented my thesis proposal last Friday and it's just okay. I mean, yeah it's the toughest 15-minute Q&A I've ever had, but at least the waiting's over. Then I spent my Sunday in library doing assignment which was due on the next day. You see, the problem was I always leave everything to the last minute and what did I get? A sick night. It wasn't easy but I managed to write 15 pages of Fermented Fruits in a night. It's not like writing on blog where you can pour out everything. I had to read 30 journals and more to make it complete. After submitted, I continued on other 2 assignments and at the same time, prepared for another presentation. 

I was fatigued. 

Now it's over and I just need to focus on final exam. But I still feel like throwing up when I see my books and journals. I feel like I can't take it anymore. I never thought that final year could be this hard. Whenever I felt like giving up, I got myself back fast because there's no point of giving up. 7 months to go. Be strong, Aemy. 

Oh by the way, I have something to announce. Well, maybe most of you may already know this, but I'm telling you anyway. Here we go,

PARAMORE IS COMING TO MALAYSIA ON 17TH FEBRUARY 2013!!!! 

They also play live in Manila before hitting Malaysia. Yay!!

See you guys in 2013! ^^

I am sooooo excited for this!! I really hope I could get the tickets and I don't want to miss it this time. I must go! Now I'm memorizing all lyrics so I can sing along with Hayley in the concert. I already dream of meeting her at the backstage. OMG!!!! I'm thrilled!! 

You can place your RSVP on their event page. More info here. ^^
