Taipei in Polaroid

I've already told many people how much I'm in love with Taipei. My first visit was a short and untimely one and I promised myself that I will be back and will stay longer to fully get a feel of the whole place.

At first, Taiwan for me is just for fandom but now I began to love it beyond numerous taiwanese dramas, F4 and Jay Chou.

Can't wait to see you... maybe not too soon but I will. Thrilled to go back with my family especially with my Sister, I promise.

For my 26th birthday, I just wanted to have a dinner in our house to celebrate my birthday. What made it special is, I decided to cooked a special dinner for my family. This is how I wanted to thank them for always accepting me even at my worst circumstances.

I prepared Cajun Shrimp with Aioili bread, Brandy and Mustard-Glazed Tenderloin Steak , a disaster Chicken Pot Pie, Lasagna & Fish fillet in lemon sauce with roasted potatoes. It was tiring but it was worth it. I'm so proud of my lasagna dish because it tastes so good and I made the fish fillet for my Mom and Dad, since both of them were in a special fish diet because of their health.   

I have lots of things to be thankful for and hopefully this another new year for me, I wanted to be a better person. I didn't make any wish list this year but what I made is a simple list to remind myself on what I really wanted to change for myself.

1. Say what I really feel
2. Learn to say NO
3. Self Sacrifice
4. Patience
5. Learn how to drive (Wooot Good luck to me!)
6. Cook / Bake often

Hopefully I can do all of that this year. Jia you, Terry!

Feeling Melancholy

Tired of feeling down these past few days. It's quite amusing that people who surrounds me think that I never get sad or as if I don't care. It's either I'm afraid to show people what I really feel inside or always having this uplift attitude towards things. I think it's a little bit of both.

I'm glad that someone texted me this:

Behind every event is God's purpose. At times what we consider a trial is simply His permission for us to rearrange our lives to be more meaningful.

Although I'm feeling down, maybe I should think that there's no other way but up. Jia you, Terry! 

 

"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may, in fact, be the first steps of a journey."
