Bugger! The day has barely started and the looming black clouds are threatening to completely blanket the sun. Yes, Australia has reached the season where the days start to become irritatingly short, sensible people running around with thick coats and scarves tightly wrapped around their necks like an anaconda, and people like Puffing Billy or smoking chimneys just that its not air pollution. Winter is here. And it seriously bothers me. Apparently, my biological clock follows the brightness of the day. The darker it gets, I get hungry earlier, and when I eat earlier, I get hungry even earlier. See my point? Now, lunch seem more like breakfast, tea time became desert which I just devoured a whole tube of Oreo and 2 cups of milk. And I have to add in 2nd tea time to satisfy my ever hungry stomach. Dinner just got pushed forward an extra 2 hours because the sun sets at an unearthly hour. Supper turned out to be the original dinner time, and in addition to that, a 2nd supper.

This is the quote I shared with a dear friend the other day:
“Love Life, my friend. Whatever that life may be. Because this is the life God has blessed you with, and it is the path God mapped out for you for a beautiful future”.
Hey, hope you feel more balanced and optimistic of your current environment. The days when people envy your life will come, and let that be your dream for now. You will reach it soon, I am sure of that because you have gone through enough to deserve it. I miss you too! My prayers and quotes will always be with you, and it will keep coming. –hugs.

I look ridiculous with a pony tail sticking out at the front. *sigh* the sacrifice I have to do to get my side-parting. And a walk to the supermarket with the wind blowing at an insane direction destroys it all. Sometimes even the wind doesn't even know where it wants to go, humans will be worse! *randomness!
