How do I blog thee ?

How do I blog thee; let me count the ways.  There was a time everybody were blogging.  And even getting paid to blog about products.  All they do is register and mention a product a few times and they were getting paid for it.  I did blog a bit.  Nothing that will change the world or sell a product or me getting money out of it.  None of that.  It was just a bit of highlights in my simple existence really. 

People has moved on from that.  There's Facebook or Instagram where you just click and post your life in pictures.  Especially Facebook all I do is open it and my timeline is floodied with pictures. Somebody's birthday,  wedding, christening.  Even just their usual day to day activities,  what they're eating what they bought.  Pics pics pics.  It's not listen or read what I say ...it's look at me. In my new dress,  new car, new bikini,  new bag, new shoes,  and in hundred different poses too.  I know it right? ..I have done my bit too.  Although I wasn't as intense as my peers.  I post a couple of pics and that's it.  Who's got the time? I don't.  I have other things I was engrossed on.  Like I was busy getting miserable and depressed about my life.

I still do a bit of selfie now and then here and there but nothing too overwhelming.  I get so feed up when I go out with friends ,  pics first ,  don't touch your food yet.  Pose this way ,  that way,  let me have a look ,  don't post it yet.  One of my friends she's lovely but she is so obsessed with photoshopping ,  slimming the waist,  elongating the nose whiten her skin a bit, enhance enhance enhance to the Max.  Me I couldn't be bothered I use filters in my iPhone and just better lighting and at times I get good pics.  How about a woman having surgery worth thousands so that she looks good in selfies.  The world has gone mad.  It's look at me me me.  Seems everybody are in competition if who's pics are better.  I rather do my brain teasers sometimes at least I get clear headed .   Somebody claimed she deleted me cause I never like even one of her hundreds of pictures. But I think it was me who deleted her really I was sick of all the pic floods in my timeline.

Video blogging is another ...I used to do vines ,  it's only 6 minutes .. Just a snippet of one's goings on.  But I lost interest people are just putting pranks and gags.  There are lots of video bloggers out there too.  Some have a channel in YouTube.  There are some interesting ones out there.  But then you all already know that.  So let me blog about something in the next topic. ...hmmm should I? 

We Are Travellers

Standing in the platform, waiting for my train, slowly sipping my takeaway cappuccino to warm and wake me up. The hot shower just jolts me to a new day, but it's the coffee that boost me or it should.  I watched my fellow commuters filling up the platform.  I am traveling to another state to get away and to visit a friend to cheer her up, she had an unfortunate accident trying to break the fight between her two male dogs, they have savaged both of her hands.  Or maybe it's just the excuse I needed to get away.  I wanted to go home to my homeland but let's not go there.

I settled in a corner by the window and the carriage was filling up fast with commuters, some weary some bleary and some are perky.  Then the warmth of the coffee and the cosiness of the corner made me snoozed a bit.

Finally the announcement blared that the next stop is the Central Station.  I gathered my luggage and my shoulder bag,  as I wearily stumbled onto the platform, retracting the bags handle I tank god for whoever invent the wheeled luggages.  

Customer Service

You have an appointment at 12pm you arrived on time and made them aware of your presence.  You understand that the officer that arranged the appointment is caught up with another customer.  So you walk around and inspect their displays and stood around a bit more.

You saw 4 others inside the office just chain wagging not doing anything.   Then you stood some more for about 20 minutes then sit your car for about 10 then decided to just drive off.

All up you were waiting 30 minutes,  then 10 minutes after you get home you get a call would you go back?  I didn't go back, to start with somebody else in the household drive off in my car.  Maybe another day I might go back if I get desperate for their goods.  But I doubt it I've seen better and better customer service that won't ignore you for 30 minutes.  Then another call after , offering to drop the goods in my house to test it? Hmmmm ... I said thanks, but no thanks, it has already dampen my enthusiasm.

Now I know how our customers feel.

We better work on our customer service. Because, the most important person in our business are the Customers.  After all without them we won't have a business .

Hobby vs Business

It's none of your hobby I mean business , I feel like saying to madam no 2.  

I was talking to her about starting a small hobby that involves fashion and girly things.  I consider myself a simple woman, I stick to safe and classic styles. And I can live in jeans, cardis and heels and a good cut jacket is a must.   But I like collecting fashion for other women.

I get so excited choosing stuff for my friends and most of them like what I choose for them.  One friend said I got a good eye for detail.  Then I putt thinking cap on and thought ,  I'll start a hobby of buying stuff for my friends for a little profit.

Anyway, back to my conversation with madam* she insisted I should get an ABN .  I explained to her, no I don't as its only a hobby at this stage.  And I'm not conducting it in a business manner yet.

They say I Do!

Wedding is always a joyous occasion. Two people in love say their vows and seal their love. To honor, love and obey, 'til death do them part.

Yesterday I attended a beautiful wedding by the cliff. The bride was my girls's
best childhood friend. Her mum and I were pregnant together. Anyway the wedding went through without a hitch. The weather was perfect, just a gentle breeze from the ocean. The woods provided a shade to otherwise scorching afternoon. Everybody looked beautiful especially the beaming bride.

The wedding was originally to take place at an old cathedral and the venue was suppose to be at a historic army barracks the same venue as my friend's wedding last year, I was a bridesmaid at.

But the young couple decided to save money and went low key. So, they settled for the cliff wedding and reception venue by the beach at the surf club. And they just invited the closest friends and family on both sides. It was a good move they saved at least about $10k that way. It can go towards a deposit to a home of their own...very practical.

Simple can be very wholesome and very beautiful.

It's a splurge of practicality and lots of Love and warmth. Congratulations to Bree and Luke, the newly married couple .

Bags and relationships.

I have a love hate relationships with bags. I had them big, small and medium. I'm sensible and don't spend a lot of my hard earn money on these items. The big ones just swallows everything. I'm forever rummaging for my keys, and things inside it. It seems to swallow stuff. The smaller bags...just not enough space. Anyway my girlies bought me a Guess bag for Christmas . And guess what? I hate it now .  The love is gone. I want to get another one. My real relationships are much stabler than that of my bags though.

Lots of ladies buy second hand bags.  I'm not sure about pre-loved bags.  I tend to question what happened to the previous owner. They say a bad owner leaves bad energy on any of their properties. why I'm hesitant to buy second hand. We just don't know the energy of the previous owners. But how about a bad bag that ruined it's owner?

There was this bag I've grown fond of. It keep saying choose me I choose you. I was ready I thought, then I pondered over the previous owner, why it didn't worked for them? Is it the compartments? Then after a short while of inspecting it and revisiting it at the shop, it clicked on me, the zip keep trapping me. Then I went home check my cupboard, and found I still have my old bag, over the years, still work and hold things in properly, the zip doesn't bite my hand. It's a bit worn but it's okay. The question is should I get a new bag or keep this one?

I did have a brand new bag, it was perfect, I loved it and it seemed to love me back, but I lost it, somebody else owns it now. But like they say, if you love the bag set it free. If it comes back it's yours, but we know the bag will not come back the current owner would not let it go that's for sure. I just hope she didn't ruin the zipper.

There's another type of bag that I hate it's under my eyes.

The cat's in the bag too? Which bag?

Space

We need space for everything. In a vacant space we can put a house in it. Inside the house there's space. Then we fill it up with furniture, appropriately placed for it's purpose according to the room it's filling in. We also need some empty space to move around. I particularly like my empty floor , I like the feel of it under my bare feet.

Inside us we also have space. I focus more on my heart space and even more so in my head space. I have to declutter
both. I have let too many occupants there over the years. And much like a house space I have to de clutter. It's essential for self-preservation .
