Beholding Myself

I was suffering tremendously from boredom yesterday, even though it was the time of our much-awaited salary. Working is a full-time job so I am discreetly aware that I have to spend my hard-earned money wisely.

Likewise, living is a full-time job too.

As an expatriate, I've been missing my motherland, my home, my love ones.

I am bored.

I am depressed.

I am lonely.

What's the best therapeutic thing to possess?

Spend a chunk of my income with friends!

We indecisively went for a fancy dinner, and afterwards we had a sprightly shop along the way.

It was a brilliant relief to unburden myself last night. Not bad at all.

A dinner at Friday's, I had my scrumptious medium rare New York Style Steak which I've been wanting for months. ugh, please ignore my ring-less finger and boring nails.

We went to Zara and I bought this leather cross-body bag, perfect on or off duty, a versatile addition to my wardrobe.

I bought beauty essentials in the newly open super market. You'll see a multitude of hair products because I'm a huge hair junkie. Every time I finished a bottle of shampoo and conditioner, I always switch to other brands. The last brand I used was VO5 Volume Boost Elixir's shampoo and conditioner. This time I'm gonna use Tresemme's Healthy Volume. Without any clear reason at all, this method works healthily on my hair apparently.

Part of their opening is a grand raffle draw which the lucky one will win a brand new Range Rover. Regardless of the small quantity we bought, the representative is still generous to allow each of us a two ticket entries aside from the cute freebies.

I've never won any contest or raffle draws or giveaways in my year of existence. I consider myself one of those unlucky few who never win anything. But maybe, maybe in only a matter of time I will win big time. With all my daydream of optimism, Range Rover here I come.

On the other side, I feel unfortunate to be unable to visit the graves of my deceased loved ones during All Souls' day. Being far away, I lighted a candle in their memory and prayed that their souls may find the everlasting peace and light.

Anyway, have fun everyone.
