the beauty of Sunday.
there's just something beautiful about Sundays.
and it isn't just that (most of us) wake up to coffee and no work.
there's the peace of knowing another week has come and gone.
(or perhaps, now that i've said that, panic that another week has gone.)
a personal favourite is Easter Sunday. (oh and a public holiday!)
as a Christian who was baptised on Easter Sunday, i always remember it as a day of hope and new beginnings.
especially this year, when it marked a new beginning of singledom.
oh and how good it felt to reflect on that.
but sitting here, typing this on a Sunday. the sun is shining (rare for April-end Auckland) and i feel at peace. i will always remember this moment, having let go of betrayal and anger (for now). i feel so new and free again.
and how amazing is friendship (though i'd rather it not be so), that a and i are sharing in this time.
i'm so lucky to have the friends and family i do. love you dear a.

thursday night musings.
thursday night.
it's just almost the weekend and that in itself is pretty much blog-worthy.
for the last 10 months, i've been the intern at a medium-sized community pharmacy.
in a months time, i'll be sitting the most important (and may i say, finally the final) exam of my life.
registration.
basically determining what i'll be doing for the rest of my life.
you'd think that entering the degree at 18, and have spent the last 5 years working towards it, i'd be rather sure it's what i want to do. but as you can see from a & my daydreaming, i have second thoughts.
yet, i enjoy what i do. and as i've learnt, i could be doing a lot worse.
with lots running through my mind. having gone through a crazy emotional rollercoaster last week. and trying to settle myself in to start properly preparing for study... i'm in need of EXTREME distraction. sighs.
things i'm loving...
so glad Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Bones, New Girl, and 2 Broke Girls are all back!
cant wait for the weekend. have a good rest of your week

sunday loves.
it's the first sunday of another month, and h and i have thought we should start blogging again.
it's been too long.
and so we're both beginning again with a subject that is both dear to our hearts, love.
this will be simple, with my camera speaking for itself.
a little glimpse into a few loves of my life.

masking tape & notepaper | new glasses
tea | memories of home
love in taipei.
it's another new week again.
a.
of love.
dearest a and i have been neglecting you, blog.
but we have been doing other things...
like our Sunday morning Skype dates. keeps us up to date and also get to see a's beautiful smiling face :)
i've also just been through one of my biggest relationship challenges.
c and i are reaching our 18 month anniversary next week.
he also has just confirmed that he'll be going overseas for 9 months next year.
since we started dating, i knew c's plan was eventually to go overseas. but at 18 months- when we are stable enough to be 'a serious relationship' yet just past that 'honeymoon- everything is just so warm and fuzzy' phase, this news was devastating to me.
i started to doubt everything i thought about the one person i'd thought i may one day end up with.
i began to think we wanted different things and that he'd changed...
the good thing about us, c and i talk about everything.
so when i decided to voice that i didn't know if i could handle the separation, a bit of a break was decided.
being logical and usually quite emotionally-held-back me, the last thing i expected was that i'd break down and absolutely have a possibly the most painful 3 days of my life.
i cried.
everything that i'd stopped appreciating about our relationship came flooding back to me.
how he taught me how to drive. how he sent me flowers at work on my birthday. how he accepted me, just as i was. and realised just how much he meant to me.
i was lucky, a good talk and a half later, we are still together.
and it's almost the 18 month wake-up call that i needed.
someone said to me, 'you've both gotta try for it to work. if one person stops trying, it's over.'
i'd stopped trying. we'd idled. and that was the real problem.
we cant predict what will happen when he's away, but at least for now, we have to try.
have to thank a, for being so amazingly supportive through this whole week.
that's my huge revelation of love.
