The beauty of Port louis || Islander 04

Hello humans !

It has been a while since I last posted, apologies :p

For the first time in my twenty something years, I have been to Port Louis moments after dawn. I was blown away by the beauty of it all. I was lucky enough to witness a breath taking sunset.


Around 7 - 7.30 a.m, the city starts to get crowded and due to the amount of traffic, it is not very easy to pause and enjoy the view.

I took a few snaps and wanted to share them with you. Again, I am not a photographer and my phone camera is not really that great, so excuse the quality.

Annoying things

Dear Humans,

I compiled a list of some of the utmost annoying things:

1. Sneezing while wearing red lipstick !
I am not talking about those tiny sneezes, but the ones that come unannounced and you feel like your lungs are gonna squeeze out of your body ! It is already an unpleasant feeling anyway..now imagine that happening when you have carefully applied red or any dark shade lipstick. Eurgh i hate it !

2. People who cough/sneeze behind you in public places and do not cover their mouth
Gosh I can vividly picture all that bacteria coming out of their mouth right onto my hair. Disgusting really.

3. People who chew with their mouths open
Like seriously? Who wants to see that?

4. People who play with their fake teeth !
OMG this sets me off so bad! I just cannot handle the sound.

5. People who do not flush toilets
I am sorry, do you have somebody else do it at home? ><

6. Family members who attempt to clean/organise your room.
wtf?

7. Family members who feel way too at home when they come over to your place.

8. Old people carrying heavy bags

9. DECEMBER ! Thank God it's finally over !

2016 to 2017

DECEMBER IS FINALLY OVER !! I CAN BREATHE AGAIN

December 2016 definitely made it to the top of my crappy December list. It was horrible most days, slightly more bearable on others and let's forget that the 31st even happened ! I wish i could get into every inscrutable detail but I will try to let go of it all. Though I must say 2017 does not feel like it is going to be a great year for me. I truly pray otherwise !!

Usually i do not make resolutions.. and i would prefer not to call the changes I wish to make this year 'resolutions'.

I primarily need to change my perspective. My mind is an uncontrollable evil beast ! Seriously.

Secondly I wish to do more of the things that make me feel better and not depend on others to dictate my mood & thoughts. Looks like i have drifted off from myself.. engaging into activities that really do more harm than good to me. As cheesy as those quotes about 'loving yourself' and 'being positive' that float around on the internet may seem, they seem to hold some degree of truth in them.

Thirdly, focus on my ambitions.
As evil as my mind might be, there are some pretty interesting ideas and ambitious projects in there. Although somewhere deep inside there is the ability for me to achieve all of those, laziness, lack of focus and dedicating my attention to petty things that will not help me become a better person seem to over power my brain. Hopefully this post will remind me not to get back into that vicious circle again.

I watched 'He's just not that into you' recently again. Do watch it and read the book as well if you haven't.. girls especially !! It definitely makes you realise that you really gotta live your own life... going after some guy will not get you any far. If a guy really wants you for something serious other than one night stands, then he will make the effort. Gigi's story is my favourite ! I probably need to keep watching that movie and care less about stuff.

Lastly, not giving a shit.
I am probably going to fail beautifully at this one ! But we'll see.

That was not a very interesting blog post.. whatever..
