New spirit

Hello.
First of all, Happy warm New Year! :)
Where are you starting the New Year in?

As for myself, I have finally landed on my hometown again after having been gone for 6 months. It feels so good to be in the same town with the family and friends, the place where I used to spend 3/4 of each year in.. the place I often call Home :)

Does New Year have a particular meaning to you? For me New Year represents a fresh new start, and a time to change to another life-book. (yes I believe a lifetime means a group of books) And it's up to us what stories we want to write in. Maybe some things remain the way they are from last year. Maybe some others need to be redefined, and maybe the rest just needs to end.

What I'm about to share is the things that need to end. for me.

I'm actually that kind of person who when things get rough, like to look back and reminisce the old good times. High school years have the most happenings I can hardly forget til the present times. Sometimes I long for the friendship bond I had back then with my classmates, or the school-tuition-home-tuition routine that I took for granted, or the anticipation of meeting the same friends in the same class each morning I arrived at school. Yes all of those little events that always dance around in my memories.. good old times they are. ;)

Now for the parts -I guess I prefer to say- letting go.

The grudges I've hold since I left high school.
The people whom I cherished sincerely, whom I put faith in, but whom I feel betrayed from.. I probably won't be as strong as I am today without all those challenges. Thank you
Last but not least, to the good old memories I've been trying to relive. I've made a mistake by trying to walk backwards. All I get is nothing but pain. 

I forgive and let go..

May from this moment onwards I acquire the skills to prioritise professionally. If not for the sake of a clear future, for the sake of a happier me. xoxo

PS, This is my way to detoxify my mind, maybe you have yours! Nevertheless, for this New Year, try to eliminate the negative things by gradually filling in the positive ones..  it's easier to do it now that you still have the new year spirit, for a fresh new start!


Good luck,

What will you do today to help beat cancer?

Hey guys! Today this post will talk about a most recent event I'm involved in: the Daffodil Day!

Cancer fact:

Have you guys ever realised...
that 1 in 3 women are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85;
and 1 in 2 men are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85?
coz I just do.

What is Cancer Council?

Cancer Council NSW is a community funded, community focused cancer charity dedicated to the defeat of cancer. 

Through the development of prevention strategies, research into new treatments and cures, and by providing clinical and emotional support to those affected by cancer, we work towards realising our vision of a society where lives are not cut short by or their quality diminished by cancer. 

We have the broadest reach of any cancer organisation in New South Wales and have been a trusted cancer charity for more than 50 years.

Here is a short compiled facts about cancer from cancercouncil I find very interesting and boring-less! It presents facts and reasons why we should start preventing cancer today!!!

I see...so what is Daffodil Day?

Daffodil Day is one of Australia’s best known and most popular fundraising events. 

Each day more than 100 Australians will die of cancer. 

Daffodil Day raises funds for Cancer Council to continue its work in cancer research, providing patient support programs and prevention programs to all Australians. Daffodil Day helps grow hope for better treatments, hope for more survivors, hope for a cure.
To Cancer Council, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer-free future. You too, can help in the fight against cancer by participating in Daffodil Day. Daffodil Day merchandise is on sale throughout August, and you can donate to Daffodil Day at any time.

For more detailed information, or if you simply wish to witness some beautiful web design (not kidding)... care to drop by at https://www.daffodilday.com.au/ :p


So this year, I get myself registered to volunteer in one of their fundraising events here in Australia which is held next Friday, August the 24th! This will involve selling merchandise at Darling Harbour from 2pm-7pm.
Here is the list of merchandises I'm helping to sell!

I am so excited I can be indirectly involved to cure cancer or at least help raising public awareness of cancer issues :D oh well I hope I've raised your awareness if you care to read this far ;)

Ok I'm convinced! How can I help? :)

There several possible ways you can help. See, if there is a will, there's always a way ;)

But... the easiest one would be to raise awareness, starting from your closest people: Family, friends, boyfriend(s), girlfriend(s), teachers, colleagues...by sharing the videos to your social network pages, or more excitingly....wear Yellow on Daffodil Day!! 

You can also donate!
