I'm Roanne

Feels nothing as compared to when I was a child. Taking one step into life satiated my gastronomical needs big time. I had the yummiest gyoza fondue ever, as well as the tastiest bouillabaisse. I gobbled a LOT of seafood, more than anything you can imagine–scallops, mussels, prawns, oysters, squids, you name it.

What’s more surprising is that I didn’t drink a lot. Stomach’s been hurling like a hurricane lately, so I welcome eternal sobriety. Not fun yet healthy.

So, what are the things I learned and been constantly learning?

I’ve felt so close to myself that I can understand it even better.
I’ve started feel more responsible, and less carefree.
Change is the most constant thing in the world. Things come and go. The works.
Nothing beats a crowd of people around you. A crowd doesn’t have be a multitude.
Beware of fakes.
Pleasure is subjective.
Everyone has his/her own spiritual side.
You choose your friends. They choose you. It works that way.
There’s always something more than the superficial.
EXERCISE.
EAT RIGHT. But, never afraid to explore [different kinds of cuisines].
There’s always a balance of things. There’s always a ying and yang to everything. Respect the cycle.
I can be hurt. I won’t pretend that I’m NOT.
I can hurt someone and do not feel sorry for it. I’ll only try to when I feel like it.
LET GO.
MOVE ON.
Trust your INSTINCTS. I’m starting to trust mine.
Learn the art of scrimping.
Be selfish. Somewhat. But don’t be self-centered.
You can always hurt the ones you love. Don’t try to please everyone.
Forgive and Forget.
Don’t fix if it’s not broken.
Don’t fix those who/that doesn’t want to be fixed.
Don’t try too hard.
Always remember that when things go wrong, you’re never alone.
Animals are people too. Love whatever pet/s you have. Each has a different character. So, they’re irreplaceable.
There’s a “right” time to everything.
Everything’s gotta be perfect, even the imperfect, coz happiness is relative. And, for as long as I’m happy, it’s all worth it.
Last but not the least, have some RESPECT for yourself.

It’s been nearly five to six years since I started blogging. I regret to say this, but I think blogging stifles me lately.

I deserve a hiatus, an indefinite one.

Maybe I’ll start over as soon as I got this come next month.

I’ll draw my own Christmas and New Year in a different picture. I hope you’re in it!

Ta-ta!
