Learn how to KISS

I think I have too many stuffs, too many clothes. too many collections here and there. Actually, it won't be such a big issue if I have bigger space. The thing is my room is so SMALL

I know I have to edit my stuffs immediately. I don't want to end up being a hoarder. Some wacky hoarders videos on Youtube really freak me out! So so scary how horrible it can be. It's like they are living for things/stuffs instead of maintaining relationship with people/loved ones. It's scary to realize that I might have similar tendency to be attached with things (of course it's not extreme, but I should learn to simplify!). I want to create space for new things to come, which means I have to do some serious 'throwing and tossing'. Yes, learn how to KISS (Keep It Simple Smartie!).

Time To Change

It's hard for me to let go

I get easily attached to people

I love people, sometimes I love them too much

I love them and I really don't want them to fade away from my memory

I try to keep things to make sure I don't forget

Bu then I realize the more things I keep, the more I become so tied up with the past

I don't want to live in the past

I want to enjoy my NOW

I want to believe in things that matters...like dreams, love, and peace

To be able to achieve all that...I know I need to enjoy BEING ME...

Happy Flow

Dear Readers,

When was the last time you feel really really HAPPY?
Just now, I feel so happy to be able to share my thoughts and feelings with you. Having this blog is almost like creating a new home for me. As you can imagine, I get so excited about little details starting from the template, colour scheme, and my blog contents (LOL, just like creating personal space at home).

Of course, it is a process full of ambiguity and uncertainty (ie., not knowing what to talk about, not knowing who would want to read my daily rambles anyway). However, the good thing about being a beginner is the sense of ease to simply go with the flow and be honest with myself.

Now, I'm really excited about learning how to write (and all sort of things related to blogging). Knowing that I can have the motivation to learn again, somehow helps me to feel good about myself ^-^. I also hope that by doing so, I can eventually improve my 'limited edition' english.

How do you define happiness?
It's really a wonderful feeling if we can feel 'oh-so-sunshine-at heart' without any special reasons (regardless of the external factors). When we are happy, we wake up with a smile. We sing, laugh, and even dance while doing the dishes. When we are happy, the universe seems to speak to us in a different language. We feel 'lighter' when we walk. The air that we breath feels a lot more fresher too. When we are happy, we have faith that we can achieve great things in our life.

It might be hard to feel a true sense of happiness when we are in time of crisis, transition, adaptation, or recovery. We can still smile/laugh on a certain occasion, but inside we might feel a deep void, a sense of darkness/numbness/helplesness/ simply not knowing 'what's wrong?". Perhaps this flowchart could be a wake up call for us:

I realize that no one has ever said that life is going to be easy for me. I also understand that I can't control everything that comes to my way (no matter how hard I try to be organized or to plan in advance). Now, I do believe that God offers many challenges in my life to helps me grow. All I really need to do is to move forward, find areas in my life that I can improve, and begin at least somewhere. The idea is really to achieve at least one thing each day and feel good about myself)

Make It Happen

Dear Bloggers,

Welcome to 'voici-et-voila' !

I'm giving all of you a warm smile ^-^ to begin our friendships and circles of inspiration. My name is Una Amanda (you can simply call me Una). My parents said that my name was originated from latin words Una (means 'The first" or "The One") & Amanda (means "lovely" or "fits to be loved"). I think it's true when they said that a child's name is like a prayer. Somehow, name seems to correspond to one's personality and character. Of course, I'm not going to self-proclaimed as a lovable person (Hahaha...that would certainly sounds so funny and weird ^-^''). What I'm trying to say is I am the type of person who loves to be surrounded by lovely things. I'm also easily impressed or inspired by little wonders, random beauty, and arts in any form.

Today is a my birthday. I personally believe that this is a very special and magical day, because I was born 28 years ago in 2-8-82 (what an interesting number combination right? It's like a mirror reflection). I believe my birthday date explains a lot about me. I am a perfectionist by nature (maybe it is related to 2+8=10). When I was a kid until my university years, I was so obsessed with the idea of obtaining the perfect 10, I wanted the perfect result for almost anything (Thank God, I am more flexible now ^-^). I always love to reflect, love to ask questions (even if I couldn't find the answers), love to see and be inspired by others.

As one of my birthday resolutions, I decide to start blogging (seriously, I've been wanting to do this for quite sometimes and maybe the word 'procrastinator' should be my middle name ^-^''). Until yesterday, I keep giving excuses about why I haven't started blogging. There's a voice inside that keep telling me to wait 'for the right moment' (I'm sure it's the silly perfectionista inside me...haha).

I am so lucky, I have many dear friends that keep encouraging me to start writing. They said, "Why do you have to wait for the right time? Everyday is an opportunity to grab any chance or special meanings that comes to our way. Better Things come to those who don't wait!!"

And so, to celebrate my first start to Make it Happen, I want to share some cute artworks made by evajuliet (from Etsy.com):
