#MondayBliss

Hello Monday!

And what's up with all those "Monday Blues" people been saying every single time they wake up on Monday morning and post a selfie in the car or looking in the mirror on Instagram with a caption of "Oh gosh, #MondayBlues". Like, what's up ladies?!

No such thing as Monday blues and there shouldn't be any of that other than force a smile on your face and open your heart for every possibility out there and go make a new history! Stop being so narrow-minded about Monday because you yourself are the only one that can determine whether it's gonna be a great day or not.

So can we change the "viral" hashtag? From #MondayBlues to #MondayBliss? Together, we can change it. Monday is bliss. Let the word "blue" be a colour. Not something that can turn your day so bad and cranky.

So starting today, vow to yourself that no more sighing to Mondays or on Mondays because this day will determine how it goes for the rest of the week! You can change the day how you want it to be depends on your non-gloomy mood.

So I am taking my notebook outside today, just to have a different perspective, good surrounding here at The Library, located in Damansara Uptown. Blogging in a hipster cafe can never go wrong. In fact, it makes you way happier than blogging in your room. LOL! Notebook + blogging + hipster cafe + a cup of coffee + nice music in the background = TOTAL BLISS.

I have a lot of things to do today. I always make appointments or meetings on Monday morning or on Monday specifically so that you have something to look forward to the day before. My routine for every Sunday night would be checking my organizer and plan out on what will I do for the next day and whom will I meet, where and when.  I have everything jotted down in my "traditional" organizer and I could not live without it since ever. Always in my handbag and I once said this to my friends, "If there is peragut wants to ragut my handbag, take everything but not my organizer!". So you understand how important that organizer is to me. Hihi.

I love to take Mondays outside. It means, if you are always spending time in the office or at home on other days on weekdays, do something different on Mondays. Go outside, meet clients and meet your friends or family on Mondays. Let there be something that makes you all excited, thrilled, enthusiast or eager for the event. Stop making your Mondays so dull and boring. Put some activities, put your shades on and be under the sunlight!

Well let's change our attitude towards Mondays. Be productive, be positive.

Nobody wants to know about Malina and they'll be like who is this Malina dude? Is she that awesome? To tell you the truth, I'm a luchador. LOL, kidding! I'm nobody, just a humble human being who is living her life to the fullest.

And this thing supposed to be posted on Instagram; you list out 20 facts about you with a picture that honestly has got nothing to do with the facts and you read it on your small screen which I think it is kinda annoying.

So I'm just going to list out 20 truths about myself and I've been tagged by one of my reader via email (Thanks, you *rolls eyes*). So here we go. Let me think if there is anything good about me. Let's tipu tipu a bit :D

Live at your own pace

"There will come a time when you want to cut off all your hair. Do it. Realize that the thing you want rid of doesn't lie in the long curls that frame your face so perfectly. Live with short hair for awhile. It'll grow.

You won't always want to talk to people. That's okay. When it's late and you hear your friends talking in the next room, you don't have to join them. You're allowed your solitude. It makes company sweeter and it teaches you how to survive alone. You will need that skill.

In the winter, you'll believe that nothing will ever grow again. You're wrong. Every year, London looks like it's on its last legs, wheezing through those last cold days in March. Every year, spring comes like an explosion and the city shakes off its sleep.

Mundane problems will get the better of you sometimes. Don't worry. Try as you might, life cannot be endless, beautiful, intense moment. Find comfort in money worries and late trains; they're a welcome rest in between heartbreaks and breakdowns.

People will call you a cynic, a wry smile on their faces. Pay them no mind. You alone know that you are capable of a love greater than anything they can comprehend. You alone know that you are not willing to sell you identity and respect to the first smirking halfwit to pass by. It is not cynicism. It is reverence for your own vast and fathomless heart, and it makes sense only to love someone who understands that and is awed by it.

You will not always get what you want when you want it. Accept it. Your goals are not set in stone and you are not on a fixed trajectory. Sometimes, life will take its time and you will have to play the long, interminable game. Play it well and with as much grace as you can muster. Live at your own pace.

At night, you will occasionally wake up afraid, wanting to die. Don't give in. Night plays its tricks, but you are not so easily fooled. Your mind will pay its tricks, too. It will make you believe that you're not who you are, but you must not give in. You take a breath and you tell yourself that you are here. That you always were."
