A Blessed 7 Years: Happy Blogversary My Foliage Diary!

Image
This day, seven years ago, was so memorable. It feels like yesterday when clicked the "publish" button on my blog. I had this feeling of excitement and anxiety. Anxiety, that I might not able to make it, but my excitement is overwhelming , it's just like a mom giving birth to a new born baby. It is my first time to own a domain. I don't know what to publish and I don't have any idea on the things that set to unfold. Things pass and things changes, and I didn't expect that I'm going to reach this far. I just love my blog- this is my outlet of my inner self- my inner ego. Sometimes I'm being pessimist on many things, but as much as possible, I'm trying to be an optimist in everything- in dealing with things. I thank everyone who chose to stay. It is a wonderful feeling when I look back on things I've posted here- from heartbreaks, moving on, life of a single, inspirational quotes and my day to day experiences . I feel really privilege to have a o...

Love Music, Get a Life, Play Musical Instruments

Everyone are gifted- they are capable to do something great. Each one of us are given a talent- talent to dance, sing, draw, paint and play musical instruments. There are a lot of talents that needs to be unleash in us. It needs to be discovered and mastered. We are born talented. For me, they say, I was born with paint brush in my hands. Since young I do really love to draw and paint. This is my inner talent which I developed and mastered. But, I still don't loose hope that I could also play musical instruments. This is my secret ultimate dream- to play at least one musical instrument. Playing musical instrument feels like you're serenading your soul. It evokes emotional and musical experience. For me music is poetry. Music is what feelings sounds like. Playing music is a medicine of a breaking heart. Music is the song, the heart sings. See? There are lots of reason for me (for us) to love music. My love for music is eternal. There's that urge in me to get that best guitar...

A Day to Be Grateful

Hi everyone how are you doing? It's been a long time since I last time I updated this blog. I have a lot of things to be thankful for in that span of time. But one thing is for sure, I have so much to be thankful for. Well, nothing really change, it's just I learned to count more blessing now, than complain. First, I am  very grateful for the gift of life. I know that God is really good to me. I thank the Lord for continually pouring out His goodness and blessing to me and to my family. Second, I got a lot of holiday! That means I got the chance to rest and spend time with my family. I also got the chance to reflect, relax and have my "me time". Being by myself, reflecting on things is one of the great feeling ever. It gives you a sense of calmness within. Another thing to be thankful for is that October had come. Yes, it's my birth month. Though I don't really look forward for a big event on my birthday, but still grateful that my God gave me another chance, ...

Sing Songs: Secret to Happiness and Successful Life

I couldn't explain how it really started but I have this feeling of comfort and happiness whenever I do some videoke at our house.  Doing k araoke  or videoke  with families is a good recreational activity. Karaoke  is singing in an amplified voice with the help of a microphone. In videoke, you can select good quality songs in (minus one). I find it very  comforting when I sing songs. Starting to sing my heart out is one ofthe bect feeling ever. It relaxes my mind and soul. It is one way of expressing your feeling through songs. Singing now is one of my stress reliever. It's kinda weird because I am one of those who has the worse voice ever, but I still have all the confidence to sing (and let the neighbors hear it out). With the right choice of song, the lyrics itself could speak whats inside your heart. Together with my cousins and family. It strengthen the bond in our family. Ka raoke with families   radiates positive vibes .  Well, checkout s...

Power Up Your Playlist

I have this hobby of listening to classical music and instrumental music everyday and I think it helps to ease my stress. It gives me soothing feeling. In a long busy day, when we're caught in 8-hours of work and stuck in an hour of traffic- the only way to relax and escape is through music. Yes, it works on me! And it's very effective. I used to have pop and novelty songs on my phone, but then I deleted it for some reasons- it triggers stress. Then, I shift to listening to classical, inspirational and intrumental music. No trashy words- it's just purely music. It is truly big help to me to get rid of my depression. Played intruments - sax, violin, guitar and piano/ keyboard are some of my favorites. It gives me so much feels. But still I keep and hope that one day I can play my favorite song in a best piano like  yamaha ypg-235 . I dreamed of playing my favorite song in some of the musical instruments. It would be very rewarding when you can play it, record it and listen t...

Hi guys it's been a looOong days of,  vacation , wait, what? Let's say  my vacation from blogging maybe.*Sigh. after all there's no room for relaxation for me. I was bombarded  with so much paper works at school. Everyday is a long tiring day that I always crave to sleep as early as possible- but it's really impossible. I still have hope that I could regain the time I've lost.
