Don't ask me why my hair is so much shorter because I am not exactly sure why..
I do know that I have been dying to chop it short Rihanna style.
That means I don't have to dry my hair for 4 hours, I can leave the house in 30 seconds and wear earrings which dangle longer than my hair-line.

HIP HIP HOORAY!

*

不要问我为什么我的头发那么短因为我也不清楚原因..
但我知道我一直想要Rihanna的短发.
那就是说我不再需要花4个小时弄干头发, 我可以用I can leave the house in 30秒出门而且带比我的头发长的耳环.

万岁!

BEING THANKFUL FOR ALL THE GREAT THINGS IN LIFE...

PH. BLADE PRO

What commonly happens when too much drama, work pressure and lack of clarity slaps on like excess sun-screen is the sure signs of discontent and unhappiness.  I deal with things in a rather odd way, I don't talk about things unless I have and when the opportunity presents itself... I feel that I have to talk my way out of a problem.  Recently, I don't share or talk because I feel that the more I talk, the more I don't get anywhere.

Communication is the foundation of any relationship whether it's personal, work-related or even as a social skill.  I work in an industry where selecting the most appropriate word choice is the most important component of my job.  I find that the more I speak to people on a daily basis, the less I want to speak to people.  And before I know it, I miss out on many things I take for granted: friends, moments and the simple pleasures in life. 

I am good at reflection but horrible in appreciation.

I constantly strive to provide more than what I can give.

As a result, I end up feeling exhausted most of the time.

对人生里所有好事的发生感恩...

通常当太多戏剧化的事情, 工作压力和没有清晰的方向好像过多的太阳油地发生了就是不满足和不愉快的征兆.  我处理事情的方法有点奇怪, 我不会把事情说出来除非有机会... 我觉得我要讲到自己脱离了问题.  最近, 我不分享或讲出来因为我觉得我说得越多, 我越不能脱离问题.

沟通是所有关系的基础不论是私下, 工作上或只是一种社交技巧.  我在一个用词适当是工作里最重要的行业里.  我发现我每天多跟别人讲话, 就越不想跟人谈话.  而且当我还没回过神来, 我疏忽了很多我觉得理所当然的东西: 朋友, 时刻和人生里简单的快乐. 

我很会自我反省但不会自我欣赏.

我常常希望可以超过我能力范围的付出.

结果, 我很多时候觉得很累.

I HAVE AMAZING FRIENDS. I thought that going to a place with lush grass mountains, endless beaches and timeless sunshine would allow for me to find my inner peace.  NOT. One of them has been a bystander to all my train wrecks, always observing and never interfering due to how close things hit to home.  Until yesterday, he said this.

VALERIE, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T APPRECIATE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, HOW YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DO ISN'T THE RIGHT PERSON FOR YOU.  IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE FOR SOMEONE, NEVER DO IT UNLESS IT'S FOR YOUR PERSONAL BENEFIT.

我有一些很好的朋友。我以为到了一个青葱草原山脉，无尽的沙滩和永恒的阳光可以让内心的平静。没有。其中一个是我的失事的旁观者，因为事情对我的感受影响很深，所以一直观察和从没介入。直到昨天，他说了这些。

VALERIE，不欣赏你是谁，你怎样和你做的事的人不适合你。如果你觉得你需要为一个人而改变，除非是为了个人利益，否则永远不要这样做。

Might sound silly, but in the past couple months, my self-esteem took a severe blow.

I kept trying to be flawless for someone and it made me feel bad. 

I just have to remember that it's ok to be me.

ME.

可能听起来很傻，但在过去的数个月里面，我的自尊心被严重损毁。我试过为一个人变得无瑕疵，让我觉得很难受。我需要记得做我自己就行了。

自己。
