Nail art and other stuff

Was too busy to paint my nails these last 2 weeks....
And I so needed a pamper myself moment today.
There was some voucher for express manicure somewhere in Georgetown....
I ended up doing gel manicure and a simple pedicure that's now a bright fuchsia
(both ideas that had nothing to do with the voucher).

The beauty on my fingers are a total contrast to the bright funk on my toes.
And my toes were done by a male manicurist, which was plain awkward.
There's always a first to this changing world, I suppose.

I was being indecisive over what flowers to paint.
Ended up getting those 3-D stickers.

Was surprised the lady was so patient with me.

Especially as I directed where each flower and how the leaves should go on my nails...

Weeeeeeeee..........!!!!!!!!!

Painted nails lifts my spirit up.

Oh! And on some random note:

Bon Odori fireworks was awesome!

~Seriously just so thankful (#184) for the parking spot so close to the Esplanade.~
Couldn't have had it without the right timing.
Giant balloons.
Cosplayers.
Yukatas!
And the little girls all dressed up in traditional costumes.
Kawaii to the max!!!!


Chocolate muffins from Continental Bakery is superbly awesome~!!!

UB Happified

The smell of caramelized onions wafted through the room.

*happy happy happy happy*

Advanced BPM

I woke up this morning doubting if I was ready for the training course today.
And as I showered, all of a sudden I remembered.
Simply put,

#182 I desired not for just an octave, but two and received just what I desired.

A dream, a desire that's been buried for some years came alive today.
The incredible leap, where others before me have gone one octave before going on this training today that's like a two octave difficulty.
And even though the span is wider and tougher, He's made it all happened.

There was just this total delight in telling my colleague;

"I just gave birth".

in a whisper of excitement and awe at what I've accomplished.

Today was a reminder that He's still in control of my future.
And I needed it as clouds of i'm-not-where-i'm-suppose-to-be have started nibbling at me recently.

Things I'm glad about today...

#179 Silencert talk, talk and talked~~~!!!!
I'm as joyous about this as if someone mute could speak.
Was just blown away with the abundance of words spewing out all morning.
I know I've been making progress with this one, but today seems like a great breakthrough.

#180 Slave driver wasn't mad.
After spending 16 hours soaking in miserere nobis, I still couldn't get it right.
But the tears shed was only for what I perceived to be a failure, a disappointment.
Which wasn't what mattered in the end.

#181 To just been somewhere where you are told to be still and receive.
It was timely considering what went on in the morning.
I went along thinking I was redeeming myself with Slave driver that way.
Instead I heard the still small voice during worship and just felt everything was over now.

UB was open...

ON THE DAY WHEN I JUST HAD A CHICKEN FOLD-OVER FOR DINNER!

*pouts*

I can imagine God's laughing up there.

And,

It's only a burger!

Isn't it?
