I believe doing a little good thing each day will lighten your soul. Yes doing good things. It doesn't mean you have to save a person from drowning nor buy someone a house. But it could just simply letting the person queuing behind you to go ahead with ordering her coffee first or help someone with her heavy groceries. Yes it's as simple as this and you will definitely feel happy that you have done a little good to others.
And I helped a lady picked up a penny she dropped as I was walking passed her. Although it was that simple but hell it felt great. You don't need anything in return but I believe a little good you've done will gift you eventually. Like parents used to tell us about Christmas, it's all about giving not receiving. I myself is not a baptized christian but I learned a quote in a bible that I loved most – love your neighbour as yourself. This has taught me to treat people and stranger with kindness in regardless of how you're treated because maybe one day you will get your thanks in return. I have to admit I was never a nice person and in fact I'm quite mean but I've tried changing myself to a little better. Being mean to others won't make you happy but a good deed will. Afterall a good deeds brightens a dark world ;)
It's been a while since I've read anything about font. I have not been doing design for almost half for a year. But I will be starting my designer job next month. I'm afraid my typo skill might get rustier than before so I stumbled across the site talking about 'What Font is your City?'. Sounds interesting. Sadly it only talked about 10 cities in America. But it's fine because I'm able to learn about the main characteristics and why they have chosen the fonts that matched each city. They actually describe as short and clear as possible with the use of 3 adjectives only. Enjoy!
Negative thoughts. They do spread like germs. Sometimes if you're surrounded by negative thinkers you will get infected too. Well the most basic way to counter these negativities is counter them with positives and avoid thinking about negatives. Doesn't sound easy eh? Well it is. Let me tell you how.
Believe
Yes you gotta believe. Dont think that you can't, think you can and you will! Believe it or not. The word 'impossible' is actually an excuse of not trying. How would you know you can't do it until you try? Ever heard someone saying it's only possible when it's done. Nothing is a failure unless you've stopped trying. Well take a look a Walt Disney, he was rejected and nobody wanted to hire him. He's a legend today because he was determined to try and try.
Don't get affected by others
Again you gotta believe! Don't let criticisms bring you down because at the end of they day your opinion matters than anyone else.
Don't underestimate yourself
First of all, don't compare with others. You may think they are better but they are not. Just because person is good at something which you're not good at doesn't mean you're not good at something. He or she is not better than you. He or she is just different from you. Well everybody is different.
Don't complain, do something about it
A little complaint is fine but please don't brag how unfair your life is. It will just rob away your happiness. No one want to spend hours in a dark room when you could be enjoying a trip down a city. Well how about this, have you try compare yourself with the less fortunate rather than people who seems better than you? Everyone has their own doubts. It's better to do something about it rather than feeling hopeless about it.
Make a list about 'good things about me'
Well don't laugh! In fact it helps. Write at least 10 things you like about yourself. For example, I'm not arrogant. That's one good thing. Or I have a nice smile. Just keep going and you will feel better about yourself.
Think the opposite of the negatives
Well a lot of us would think what if it wouldn't turn right. But have you thought what if it would? Well if it doesn't turn out the way you hope for, dont feel hopeless just take it as a lesson. Don't be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes make us wiser. Afterall tomorrow's a new day!
You are beautiful than you think
Low self-esteem? Don't fret, A happy person is a beautiful person. Confidence is a beauty too. Hey, afterall a personality still matters. Be happy that you're not blind nor sick. The video below also proved that we are beautiful than we think.
Well that's it for now. It will be continued. Do comments and let me know if this helps ;)
P/s: I'm sorry if the video is too small. I don't know how to make it bigger. Video and image are taken from website.
After hearing what my friends described of of Warm Bodies my first thought was like yet another sappy drama/love story like Twilight. After reading some good reviews about it I've decided to give it a go. For some of you are wondering what's Warm Bodies is about, here's the trailer:
Lucky that I was able to find a site which I can watch some of the new releases online (www.megashare.info)
Well after finished watching it I actually liked it because one, it's something different as it narrated from the perspective of a zombie; what's he's actually thinking and two, most importantly it's not too much of a sappy love story and least serious. But although, the ending is predictable I still gives two thumbs up for him. I even downloaded a Warm Bodies pdf to read more about it (Sorry, I forgot where's the link). Afterall a novel always contain more juicy details. Enjoy!
And I figured I always have nothing to blog about and it would take a long while for a new update about my artwork. I get demotivated sometimes and I need an 'ooomph' in life. And because Im a pessimist and my journal is filled with such frustrating thoughts. I might just take it out in a good and positive way.
So after thinking throughly what I want to share. I've decided to share what's been keeping me inside and it has drained away my joy. And I'm sure that I'm not the only person who have hard times which can't be dealt. So I hope it would help not only myself but everyone to overcome the damn storm.
As you might not know I've changed my blog urls and tittle. Previously it was just a combinations of my name and nickname, 'odine-claudinechin'. So now it has changed to 'Life in a positive space'. Yep, it's basically a new start for me and I want a positive space to keep me moving rather on dwelling on something so stupid. In time I will share some of my embarrassing experiences (yes, including love ones which my friends would laugh if they're reading this) and some acts which I'm not proud of.
I guess the next post I shall talk about is unfortunate love stories or some people should called me stupid. But I don't really care anymore because I enjoyed it selflessly.
Cheers on to the beginning of my life in a positive space.
;)
Yep my love. It's illustration. I super love love loveeeee watercolor. Though I have little technical skill. A lot of improvements needed. But this portrait piece is far the most satisfied. I love letting the colour flow. It makes me feel so relax and happy when painting it. Note that all my illustrations drawn are based on my reference. But the artwork I've painted is based on my study. Every stroke of them is a baby step for me. It's very hard for me control when I have shaky hands.
This is a failure due to the poor quality of watercolour paper.
Ok this is my first skincare product review. I just wanna share with everyone about my personal experience about this product.
I bought two tins of these when it was having promotion (2 for RM 40 something) a year ago in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Now that I'm back in Brunei and I almost finished my second tin. Sadly there in't ant Nature Republic's branch here. However I was lucky that there is one branch in Miri, Malaysia and it's just an hour drive from my hometown.
I know this product has been around for quite some time. I'm abit outdated but here goes.
Nature Republic's Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel
As per mentioned on its name, it contains 92% of Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is one of the multipurpose plant in beauty. It soothes sunburns, hydrates any dryness, reduces eye puffiness and apparently minimizes pores. This gel is indeed served as a multi-tasker. But the main role of these gel is that it soothe and keep your skin or hair stay healthy and hydrated.
Appears watery upon application
Feels hydrated and appear less dry :D
How to use
My experience
Honestly I've been abusing this gel ever since I bought it. I'm already bought two more tins as you can see it's running out soon.I'm really impressed with the outcome. The moment i tried it, I was wow-ed as it gives me a soothing on my skin and I loved how it felt. It felt as if my skin was sated from drinking water. I've bring it along with me whenever I go travel. This gel really helped me a lot when I was in Taiwan. Because of the cold weather there, my skin get dried very easily regardless I have combination skin. I even shared my gel among my friends for as long I was in Taiwan. My friends love it as well. This gel instantly hydrates my skin upon application. It's fantastic!!
What I used to gel for? I always used it as a face and body moisturizer and make up base. It serves great especially as make up base. My foundation doesn't get cakey and it lasts longer. And as i said I have combination skin, my nose gets oily from time to time. By reapply the moisturizer will reduce the oiliness. I believe there is no skincare that can magically make the oiliness disappears. However it wasn't that great when I've tried using it as a hair treatment. My hair got sticky. And lastly for eye treatment, it was fine as it does reduce the puffiness of my eye.
Pros
Hydrates instantly
Make up lasts longer
Soothes dryness and rashes
Does not clog pores
Control oily skin
Cons
It contains alcohol ( WHAT?! But I still love it)
Rating
5/5( as a moisturizer)
Buy again
Well of course. I already bought 4 of it so far. :D
Enjoy.
P/S: This review is based on my personal opinion. Everyone's skin is different so it might not work best for you.
