Prayers for 2016...

Hullo 2016 late as it may be tho'

Here are my wishes I'll have you know...

 

To pay what I owe

Return what I borrow

Befriend every foe

End whatever row

Careful what I sow

More rooms to grow

No space for sorrow

Real feelings to show

Enjoy the meadow

Out from the shadow
Welcome every tidal flow

Ride with the tempo

Less goodbye more hello

Love with true gusto 

From here on after so will I go

May bright and clear will be my tomorrow.

Amen.

I may be 20 days late to wish everyone, but Happy New Year 2016 everybody! May the year be kinder to all of us, even treat us exceptionally nicer this time around, who knows?

On another note, 10 Jan was my 5th year Anniversary as Coffee Girl! Here's a Double Celebration on the 5th Year Existence! May my blog continue to breathe, live and let on! And be updated consistently. Fooh fooh! Amen!

Cheers!

Coffee Girl reaches 4-year milestone today...

First post for the 2015, and here I go registering my 4-year old existence today as Coffee Girl.

For a long while, I have kept writing and drafting posts all along going by the rule that a blog is about being written and not about being read. Some things however do change, have changed and will keep changing. And sometimes I hit a wall and thought of taking a break, but I wrote on because having gone this far, it'd be a shame to just stop midway. And also most importantly, because having you as readers have kept me going all this while.
.

So whether you're an ardent follower, outright supporter, silent reader, subtle stalker, shadow chaser... This is for you. Thank you all for reading me and following my blog, Not to be dramatic, but you have no idea how much you mean to this blog.

I didn't choose the mug life. The mug life chose me. And so today I will drink coffee, smile and be thankful.

Happy 4th Year Coffee Girl! Let's hope we can make better posts and more meaningful writeups this year.

Coffee Girl reaches 2-year milestone today ...

Technically it's more than that, but unforeseen circumstances and one or two glitches made it impossible to retain a permanent one that long, as you can read here and here...

Come what may, Coffee Girl (ze blog) has been alive and well for two whole trying years now, and boy did we astound them all! One extraordinary year after another, and here we are today... blogging about our 2-year existence. Quite the survivor, aren't we?

We did promise to blog more, to blog indiscriminately, to blog articulately, to blog uniquely me, to blog and blog on as long as we still can... And so we will uphold that promise, no matter how long it might take us to post one entry after another.

And this is a dedication to all of Coffee Girl's readers, followers, fellow bloggers aka blog-friends, and other social media enthusiasts cum peers, and not forgetting the stalkers...  

THANK YOU. I hang on because... 

You probably heard that from me before, but be assured, I mean every word. We made a great team, didn't we? So before I start feeling a little emo here, let me take a few seconds to wish myself and this blog...

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY COFFEE GIRL! 

You're past the point of crawling, so start running already!

Resolutions, anyone?

It's tough to live among the optimists.

These bunch always make a list of what they want to achieve every beginning of the year. In fact, they started talking about it way even before December of the previous year ends. And sometimes I can't help but poke fun at them for looking too far ahead when they're not even sure if they could achieve any of those endless list, let alone tick them one by one. And if you notice, some actually would recycle (if that's even possible) all the past unfulfilled wishes to the next year in the hope of trying to at least salvage some pride in attempting to fulfill them. Hard work, that.

Oh for sure, no offence to the optimists. In fact I hold you in highest regards (yes for real, that's no-oo, not sarcasm at all) because I was once one of you until sometimes it got too exhausting.

Ok get this: I'm not an optimist. Neither am I -- yes this is me speaking out loud the words from the back of my mind -- a pessimist. I am, if you can call it anything, is a daydreamer who lives the life of a realist. And being a mixed breed of a daydream believer stuck in reality, I too, have a list of things I want to see done or keep doing, not just this beginning of the year, but at all times, while I still breath, Mayan afflicted or not.

So, we don't play around with resolutions because that's what the optimists will do. And me, forever loving to procrastinate and all, do not like to be bogged down with wish list. Instead, here's a little reminder of what I should keep doing.

Note To Self:

#1. Hang On

The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground. 

#2. Blog On

Easy reading is damn hard writing. But I have resolved to be consistent in posting.

#3. Keep Calm and Drink Coffee

Actually, this seems to be the basic need of the human heart in nearly every great crisis — a good hot cup of coffee.

#4. Keep Dreaming 

The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary. 

#5. ...But Be Realistic

Everything you can imagine is real.

If none of these make sense, that's okay because at the end of the day, like every dreamer out there, I too want a homelier home, a better car, a fatter paycheck, a dream career, a new status, travel the world, be a millionaire. But in order to get that, don't we all need to first discover ourselves and what we truly want and what truly matter?

Hello 2013. How will you fare?
