xxxxxxx

Please be informed that this is a 'G' rated blog. Hahaha... The 'xxxxx' title is referred to the cross stitch pattern, and if you didnt know what cross stitch is, you are not alone. I didnt know about it either until my year college when a friend of mine introduced me to it. 

At first it I bought a simple pattern, a small one with rabbit pattern on it -my chinese zodiac. Yea you sure gotta put yourself first 😜

Later on I started on a bigger pattern, and I have to admit that it was a form of stress relieve activities. Right now there are probably no space on my parents' house to hang all of it (lebay yes), but no worries my masterpieces, when I'm moving out I'm gonna bring you all and hang you on to the wall (I guess?)

Okay so anywaaay I was cleaning up my drawers and I found two cross stitch patterns that I haven't finished yet. I think that it was more that three years since I've been working on the monochrome pattern but then, I found a receipt dated in 2009 when I first bought the wool for this pattern. 

In short, this is a one pattern I've been working since 2009, then I stopped doing it in 2012. Then with a random destined search on my drawer, it takes only one day for me to finish this pattern.

O dear God this is freaking me out. I could've finished it three years ago 😐

And it started to make me wonder whether there are other things in my life that I have given up, that it was so close destined to be mine.

What a creepy thought I had there. Maybe I should have focus on the second pattern that haven't finished yet 😄

The cross stitch pattern that made me think deeply 

Dance shake shake shake!

Hal yang selalu saya percaya: setiap orang bisa menyanyi dan menari. Tapi tentang seberapa enak dilihat dan didengarnya, levelnya berbeda2 :D

Saya sendiri, kalau disuruh nari, masih bisa ikut irama lah. Kalau soal menyanyi? Suara saya lbh terdengar kaya orang sedih dan lagi tersiksa. Hahaha. But hey, singing is supposed to be fun. Jadi walaupun suara segitu-gitu aj, nyanyilah dengan suka cita. 

Belakangan ini di social media, sering saya lihat video karoke di aplikasi Smule antara Jessie J dan user Smule menyanyikan lagu "Flashlight". Dari postingan video tersebut, ada banyak versi suara bagus. Tapi yang lebih menarik lagi ialah suara yang kacau banget, tapi tetep diupload sama usernya. Haha. Itu lah yang paling kece dan patut diacungkan jempol. Life isn't always have to be perfect. You just need to believe on what you have and enjoy every moment of it. 

Kita mungkin ga punya suara sebagus Jessie J. Tapi toh kita masih bisa nyanyi. Mungkin badan selentur penari profesional, tapi masih bisa goyang kanan kiri sok ngerti irama buat joget hepi2 kan? -tapi jangan sampe malu2in diri sendiri dan orang sekitar ya.... 

Seperti kalimat kece: 

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like there's nobody listening,

And live like it's heaven on earth."

Just be happy on what you have and believe that you have enough of what it takes to enjoy this world! *goyang bang!*

Cheers,
