Worship♡

Hello!

I am 25 years old, and this many of my friends are getting married phenomenon has been finally happening to me!

It is an amazing feeling, my friends from high school or even before getting married is like - ...

Literally, I am a mother and my daughters are getting married!

When have they grown so much? I thought they are still little girls!

Kind of feeling.

No I am not married. I am single.

I am constantly reminded.

Anyway.

So I am hoping to be able to attend my friend's wedding in Taiwan later this year!

Taipei this time, and what I am writing about today is my Kaohsiung trip in early May♡

My Townske guide - "Kaohsiung" http://townske.com/guide/14977/gravity-from-wind-turbines

Smir Nasli floral bag♡

Tripod is always a trouble when getting on airplanes...

I should work my way around!

#SorryNotSorry for talking to people sitting next to me on aircraft always!

I met this incredibly kind man who taught me a lot about Kaohsiung before landing in there.

I didn't know Taiwan is like a tropical island until just before landing in there...

Taiwanese Starbucks was SO pretty!

Apparently they have a much wider range of products than Starbucks USA or Starbucks Japan.

They were so pretty that I wish I could get so many of them!

I love hotel breakfast buffet, why are they necessarily so good?

I like breads. I enjoy eating breads, so much. I don't know why...

I didn't stay at Sheraton, Hilton nor Mariott but this little hotel was so cozy and comfortable...

Kaohsiung was a great place, incredibly kind and friendly people,

Close to the sea and mountains ( didn't get to see one though )

Lots of attractions packed together in the city.

Night Market♡

A huge long avenue filled with food stalls and store advertisers.

At early hours there are more local people and later in nights there were more tourists I viewed.

Central station - Formosa Boulevard station.

Famous for the stained glass ceiling! So pretty♡

I went through this station so many times during my stay!

This place was the main attraction and one of the main destinations in Kaohsiung.

Quickly painted that dragon and tiger in airplane but

I was so relieved that I painted them in the correct order!

I was surprised to see even bigger statues around these two though...

Lotus Pond has so many things to see all the way around it!

Whenever I travel, I always go to a harbor.

I personally really liked Cijin island where I could catch a ferry from one of the harbors in Kaohsiung.

I loove the ferry ride!

I went there specifically for the wind turbines,

however the sunset I got to see was breathtaking!

There were people working out in the park just underneath wind turbines.

I was filming the sun setting for over 30minutes... (haha)

It was a great trip down to the island.

I only got to see the quarter of it but I would definitely love to see the whole island!

Apparently one day isn't enough to explore this island and many tourists come back there over and over again.

I am really happy to have a reason to go back to Taiwan and within the same year!

And am also super happy that my friends are getting happier!

2016 will be an amazing year♡

Thanks for reading!

2016

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2016♡

No matter how hard the time could get,

in the end of the day, I always get to experience and feel someone's kindness.

It always makes everything I go through a day worth it.

I have been feeling this over the past number of years.

Hello!

I was back home for the New Years.

I wouldn't make this simply my diary of New Years,

I would rather want to track the color of the sky and water I have seen over the 2 days.

Hello a stretching man!

I liked his silhouette though, personally.

He might have felt really awkward having someone taking photos of him stretching for...

good 20 minutes.

First sunset of the year♡

I fell deep in love♡

Super early in the morning.

It was simply amazing.

It's like the time everything starts moving, getting back to a life.

It is the time of dawn when the sky is too bright for the stars to shine but too dark for the moon not to glow.

2nd of January 2016,

it was so warm and comfortable standing on the mountain.

The sunrise was a sheer grace and it did promise me a soft, tender year full of love and warmth.

And that got me totally determined,

to... this year, I will turn off my phone and chuck it in the drawer on the weekends.

It is written as a definition of "Day off" in the dictionary too.

I don't feel like anything has ended and started all over.

I would say... R.I.P. 2015, I needed you once, but I left you to move on.

2016 is like a stable boyfriend to me ( I know nothing about it yes ).

But I got this feeling that it will be flowing smoothly through the history

after having the most dramatic year - 2015... well it's just my feeling, though.

What a warm beginning of the year.

I might write "throw back to new years day" diary sometime later this year.

But for now, happy new year and I wish all of your 2016 be full of love and blessings.

Love, so much love.

Roses are red and...

Good evening!

Firstly, just a note to self though

we just had a magnitude8.5 / intensity5+ earthquake hitting Ogasawara islands

( which is located in the middle of the ocean, a bit down south of Tokyo )

and my place was in the most intense area so...

doors opened, cups and vases fallen and clothes and yoga matt (lol) fell as well.

I wonder what will happen when it hits 6 or above...

Self diary*

Anyway!

Recently I remembered that May was the "Rose" month.

Roses bloom in May predominantly and I totally forgot about that until a couple days ago.

And today I had a day off so I went for a walk to a big rose garden.

There were still roses, but not many of them and instead

there were more hydrangeas blooming near them♡

Those white ones are called Annabel I think♡

Big chunk and look really good♡

It must have been a rose heaven this month...

shame I didn't realize until today but at least it was really relaxing and loved the walk there♡

Beautiful little white roses♡

They are perfect for my crush♡ ( #HopelessRomantic )

Hydrangeas are beautiful too, rainy flower.

Rainy season coming and wonder how bad it would be

I want to stay home and watch movies and read books♡

I love stormy night...

Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

Roses are red

Hello world!

I am addicted to beautiful flowers these days.

May was a rose month.

Such a shame I didn't get to go see the rose gardens but I will on this coming Saturday...

Hope to still be able to see them♡

This morning I was walking to work and bumped into this beautiful thing♡

How relaxing!

They are eye medicines♡

Sharing happiness♡

I have been starting to think about studying to get some certificate,

like... something related to finance or business...

just in my spare time... :)

Hope this year will be awesome as always♡
