5/365: Saying Goodbye

I don't know if there is anyone who does well with good-byes, but what I do know is saying good bye is one of the most effective ways to reduce me to tears. I don't do well with good-byes at all.

 Yesterday, we had to wish a co-worker good luck on his new journey. He would be leaving Canada to be with his family in the States. Work is definitely going to be less interesting without him - that's a given - but there's nothing we can do. People who come into our lives must leave at some point whether we like it or not. 

Wishing Colby all the best and good luck in his future endeavors. 

4/365: Happiness In a Cup

To tired to make lunch for myself yesterday, I decided to stop at Subway to get a sandwich instead. I got a steak and cheese sub on n foot long Italian herbs and cheese bread. I'm quite sure the attendants at the Subway I go to think I'm weird since anytime they ask me what veggies I want on my sandwich, my answer is always a very certain "everything". Sometimes they pass me the is-this-girl-for-real look and all I do is just stare them dead in the eye.. nod slowly and reiterate my previous reply - " lettuce, spinach, hot pepper, jalapenos, the kitchen sink, everything! I just want everything".

Yesterday, I got the meal deal. The one where they give you two cookies and a bottled drink or a drink from the fountain. I opted to have a fountain drink and my choice was Fruitopia~ the pink one. Except it's orange, pineapple or apple-flavored, I'm not a champion at telling what was used in flavoring a drink. I'm not quite sure what's in this very Fruitopia or what flavor they were trying to make an artificial version of, but boy is it good. It tastes AMAZING. Lots of calories.. but SO GOOD. Sipping this on a steaming afternoon just makes half your worries disappear.. at least for a while. lol. 

So that was how I spent my afternoon yesterday.. eating a sub and drinking this happiness in a cup!

How did you spend yours? 

3/365: Showers Of Blessing

You know how I have been complaining about how incredibly hot it has been over the past few days? Well guess what? Nature decided to surprise me with unexpected showers today! It's drizzling outside as I type this and the streets are quiet. There's a 16 degree centigrade wind blowing outside and for the first time this summer, I am promised a cool night. And a wet walk to work. :-)

2/365: Attachment To The Inanimate

When I heard it vibrate, I was very excited. I was excited because I knew it was my mum calling. I always look forward to hearing from her. I searched around me for it and it wasn't in sight, but it was still vibrating.  I looked under my duvet, still no traces of it. Then I felt something on my leg. And I felt it move away from my leg, as though my leg had kicked it or something. Then came the loud sound of it hitting the floor. I followed the sound to its source.Alas the sound was my phone. It had landed face down and its screen was shattered. 

I shed a tear. I am sure my mum did too when I told her. My phone was broken. My technological partner was scarred. Needless to say, I am not getting rid of it. Right now, it has a tape that's keeping it together. In the near future, I'm gonna fix it. But for now, I am using it as is. Never knew I was attached. So attached to the piece of technology. 

1/365: Layers To Dust

I am starting off my project 365 challenge with a picture of my Scentsy warmer. I acquired this warmer in December  2011, immediately after my final exams. I loved it the moment I got it.

It just filled my room with lots of wonderful scents which I got compliments on. Today, this warmer

just sits abandoned on top of my cosmetic cabinet. You can even see dust

in the cracks of its floral design. Hopefully, I can replace the light bulb and start using it again.. and fill my life with the wonderful scents it once brought me. 

Take A Picture... Everyday.

I don't know if I have mentioned this before. but for the records.. I am a picture freak. I love taking pictures of just about anything. At work, I take pictures of the official telephone as much as I get people to photograph my fingers as I type away. The only thing that has the ability to capture a moment as it happened and preserve the very value of that moment are photographs. And this is the reason they have become an integral part of my life.

Now to the exciting part. :-) Starting today, I will be capturing a of a bit of my day everyday with a camera. I will also be posting them here and sharing with you guys the story behind them.

I encourage everyone to join me in the Project 365 challenge and share photos of anything - be it something that you found amusing, precious or even hated. :-)

If it's something you want to appear here, you can forward it to my email address and I'll feature it here on GIAM. Looking forward to sharing in your daily lives!!
