11 FACTS ABOUT ME

Finding good books and reusable vintage-looking items in Trash n’ Treasure will make my happy.

Listen to 80s/90s love songs - mostly those sang by male artists.

Singing, dancing, writing, reading and collecting stuff: my life.

I am into poetry now, though I still read novels.

Little things make me really happy.

In response to number 5, just buying me a box of pizza will make me love you more

Planning to travel to Europe in my 20s + other places

I always have my Koala bear beside me whenever I go to bed

I’m the type of person who wants things in order/ a very organised person (in some ways hehe)

I like giving myself challenges and pushing myself out of my comfort zone

Call me lame but you can creep me out through small scary things even spiders (gosh)

11 QUESTIONS FROM JULIA

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Why? Anywhere in Europe will always suit me best but for now, Australia’s what I prefer

What is your biggest pet peeve? People who complain about a lot of things and judge other people without scanning themselves.

If you could be anyone in one day, who would you be? I would want to be a woman in a Nicholas Sparks’ novel.

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Lasagna baby <3

What is the one thing you would change in your city and why? Probably add more tourist attractions, stores (especially Starbucks, vintage ones and record stores hehe) and new buildings 

What is your favorite book of all time and why? I do have four at the moment: Love and Misadventure by Lang Leav, The Wedding and The Last Song– both written by Nicholas Sparks, and Count Me the Stars by Kylie Johnson 

Who has been the most encouraging person in your life and how? When it comes to theatre and performing arts it will always be Lea Salonga. No need for an explanation, everything about her sums it up for me. When it comes to dancing (esp. ballet) Li Cunxin is my motivation as his story is just inspiring as ever! With regards to developing my faith, Nicholas James Vujicic – a very good preacher surviving with no limbs.

Has anyone ever said something to you that you couldn’t forget? What was it? “You write like Shakespeare.” – Ms. Marusic to my descriptive writing in class.  I don’t know but it caught me off guard knowing that Shakespeare is a classic and I honestly cannot write like him.

What is something you couldn’t live without and why? My rosary, idk why I just can’t live without it.

If you could stop time at your happiest moment in the past, when would it be? A certain time when I felt complete and contented.

What was your most embarrassing moments? Accomplishing a dare about a strict

 teacher in school lol just no

11 QUESTIONS FROM KAYE

What movie touched your heart the most? August Rush & The Odd Life of Timothy Green – you know, those movies who kinda like touch your heart and you will treasure every little bit forever.

Whenever you are down or you feel sad, what do you do to lift you up? Listen to old love songs, read, drink coffee, blog, workout, drink NutriBullet

What’s your favourite food/s? Mom’s homemade white sauce, lasagne, parmigiana, Italian foods, chicken schnitzel, pizza, bacon

When did you start blogging? April of 2013 J

Who inspired you to start blogging? Genella Villanueva

Do you want to live in other countries? If yes, why? If no, why would you stay here? Yes, America and Europe – sort of a wish to discover places I’ve never been to.

What do you think about love and friendship? I mean how do you look at it? Love and friendship come hand-in-hand actually, but when it comes to choosing between friendship and a romantic relationship, I’ll probably go with friendship not because I don’t want to fall in love but I’d rather choose something I know will be worth it and will stay on forever. Love comes in many forms, and without it friendship will be black and white.

Who inspires you the most? Jesus, how fearless and loving He was, is, and will always be.

What are your outlooks about life? Whatever life gives you, always look at the brighter side. Be a person who looks at a glass half full rather than a glass half empty. Consider opportunities and always take chances. When a door closes, a window opens – you just have to perceive something special out of it. Always smile, and you’ll make many happy. 

How do you deal with problems in ilfe? Do you stay optimistic at all times? God is bigger than any problems in life, so just pray and hope for the better. Whenever I have problems, I always take ten deep breaths and focus on finding the solution rather than contemplating on what I’m going through. I am though, not optimistic all the time :)

Tell something about me being a ninja. Hahahaha kidding aside. Tell something about me being a blogger or anything else you want to tell me. :) Hi Kaye! I think you’re a lovely person with amazing talents, and as a blogger, I like your writing style and everything in between. Continue blogging, see you soon and I love you dear! *heart heart*

Q&A!

How are you, right now?

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I guess I'm up to 6. I'm not really lonely, but a bit happy, tho it's not really the typical definition of real happiness. To sum up, I think I'm just alright.

Give five facts about yourself,

I'm a random person. I talk about a lot of things, I keep on changing topics. Some people find it annoying, but yeah that's just me.

I prefer Italian and Japanese food.

My stress-free nights would be a picture of me reading a book beside a lamp with a cup of coffee.

I find trees interesting, as seen in my shots.

Vintage is my life, not mentioning old love songs.. yay

What are the things that inspire you?

Children from poor families striving hard to attain excellence knowing that education is a way to a better living.

Ballerinas inspire me, tho I can't figure out why.

Disabled people managing to smile and be grateful despite the many reasons not to.

Books and movies

Everything about God, as He is my forever inspiration.

Do you love to read books?

I'm most positively am. We'll make a good book buddies! :)

What are the top five songs on your playlist?

Overjoyed - Luke Kennedy

Got to Believe in Magic - Side A

I'll Be There For You - Aiza Seguerra

Old Songs - David Pomeranz

Reflection - Lea Salonga

Are there things that hold you back?

Yes and these are the things that ache the most. Insecurities, my weaknesses and society prevent me from being my sincere self. My past is like a rope pulling me away from where I'm supposed to be.

What are helps you stand firm during hard times?

God's presence and unconditional love that reminds me of everything I need to comprehend to be able to stand up for His name and be fearless like Him. 

If you were born in another time, what would you want to be?

I'd rather be a woman in a Nicholas Sparks romance.

What is your dream job? Why?

Someone expert in the field of performing arts.. I guess I'll be an actress in Broadway musicals tho it really sounds silly. This is one thing I enjoy and I want to encourage people to appreciate these kinds of productions.

How do you face fears?

To be honest, I'm not the strongest person you'll know or rather I'm not apt for the word 'courage.' But what really is real strength?

"Real courage is not the idea of a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." -To Kill a Mockingbird

Well, I guess the quote explains it all. Fear is something that I take as a challenge to become a better person. There's nothing wrong with showing feebleness because even the bravest person in the universe has flaws. Strength is when you failed several times in facing your fears but you still try. There's not much to loose if you keep on trying, but there'll be big 'what ifs' that will haunt you for the rest of your life if you always give up.

Prayer is the strongest armour that can defeat the gigantic walls of fear.

Do you enjoy doing things alone?

Most of the time, yes but it really depends on the task I'm doing. I perceive spending time with myself as something healthy and significant. This is the point where my thoughts prevail and my mind contemplates on the happenings during the day. It's really worthwhile to spend some time stopping and breathing.

My 11 Questions:  

What is your greatest 'what if'?

How do you relate your life to sunrises and sunsets?

What is your definition of success?

What makes you happy?

If you were given a chance to swap with someone else's life, who would that someone be? Why?

What's the first thing that pops into your mind whenever you see city lights from afar?

If you were to be a story, who do you want to be the author of your book?

Do you like Italian food?

What is your favorite book and movie?

How do you handle tough and sad situations?

Pick a song that will describe your personality. :)
