Ratatouille / Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I've watched Ratatouille so many times but it never fails to bring back the sparkles.

I'd like to inspire and instill understanding, honesty, love, peace and harmony amongst humanity. It sounds too grand a scale but I'm thinking more like paying it forward.

I know it starts with me and I'm still working on it.

I've come to accept a few things I couldn't before. The understanding of not really able to accept certain attitudes (if in my case) and that for others, it's just basically a different life and choice or even timing.

I hate myself less every time I hear myself spouting un-pleasantries in my head when certain behaviour gets on my nerves.

I've come to like having some privacy on these thoughts.

Feudalism. Revolution. Communism. Democracy. Politics.

It's necessary. Unavoidable. But can't they just do it like, gently?

Evolution worked out just fine only at a natural rate.

We're no Titans and I think Mother Nature has proven that size does matter.

I think ideas are meant to enlighten rather than influence.

I'd rather understand than blindly take sides just cos it seems to suit better. I hate that I'm still guilty of the latter. Cos trying to understand isn't easy.

Sigh... always with the easy way out...

How 'bout that selfless good deed. Does pretending to agree with the mother in law counts as a selfless good deed? It burns me up to oblige since I'm so stubbornly opinionated. And if I just went along it makes at least one person happy. But then again, it's not exactly selfless cos I'd be keeping trouble away, for myself, which should make me feel, good...?

Joey Tribianni's right. There is no such thing as a selfless good deed and I'm okay with that.

I've been a full time housewife for about 3 months now. I must say, I'm getting the hang of it. Although not quite on the routine. Then again routines never really worked for me. So I just go with the flow. And setting the discipline in motion as well. My sleeping hours are just not normal enough.

I won't say I'm the best, yet. Still working on those cooking skill. The cleaning though, is my forte.

So I haven't been the best of moods in between, but I figured it's usually like this when you're trying to figure something out... All the thinking about whether I've made the right decisions... thus affecting my confidence, my central of gravity, my good conscious & subconscious... I was mental.

And also while in the midst of all these chaos, I was completely aware of how supportive Starfish has been. From the mood swings to the tantrums to selfishly asking for time out and taking me to that restaurant which I had cravings for that juicy, juicy steak and I was convinced it would swing my mood the other way... which we didn't get to go by the way because of well, my mood swings.

His patience made me grow up a little every day... I feel precious...

I am the luckiest bitch ever.

There's also the sister's wedding to prepare for. We were running errands as and when. Getting all the props ready. Praying to Mother Jesus Mary for the best, really. And happy to say, that all's gooooood!

I also had one of the best birthday. A treat from the mei mei; Universal Studio. Receiving birthday wishes from those closest to heart and mail from the bestie, a Chomel cystal crucifix & flower and a laundry basket I've been eyeing on. I'm easy to please.

Yes these are the things that matters; love & happiness...

Blessed be, my loves.
