These words pretty much sum up my week. My highlights might not be that extraordinarily special but I really do enjoy them. They keep me alive and remind me everyday to be grateful. I recommend everyone to think about all the personal highlights at the end of a week. Even if they might not be that special. There are times where a lunch is the only highlight of my whole day. I enjoyed my lunch so isn't that enough? Some pretty annoying things happened this week besides all the highlights listed above. But I decided to live my life remembering the good times of my life. You know, I had a long phone call with my friend in Korea. I always end up calling her when I'm frustrated about something I can't tell anyone. Anyways, she told me that life is all about making decisions. 

I decide: 

• What I do with my life
• Who I let to be a part of my life
• Why I do certain things in my life
• When I start doing something in my life
• Where I live my life

... and things like that. You know what I mean, right? MAKING DECISIONS. It's not easy! This week, I was lucky to come across a few stuff I want to share with you:

1. online stores

I've been a loyal customer of Nastygal since almost a year. With loyal customer I mean that I never bought stuff from anywhere else. That I ordered a package every month, with knowing that some items are overly expensive without any reason. I paid the international shipping fee going up to 50$. There were also a lot of reasons I sticked to Nastygal. Their in-house design style, the way they present their clothes but primarily because they sell XXS sized clothes. I wanted to try some other online shops and I found the following ones which are similar to Nastygal:

Missguided 

Young Love

Love at nine (small sized) 

Wardrobemess 

Threadsence 

Lulus

Free People

Pixie Market

The Scarlet Room

Stylestalker

2. apps

These were my favorite apps of the week:

For your info, I'm using an android phone.

1. Buzzfeed: Some like it, some don't. I just think some posts are really funny and can entertain you your whole bus ride. 

2. Trello: It's basically another task managing app. This is a lot more different though. It has features like group tasks, completion percentage for every task, and so on. I basically plan my blog posts with Trello.

3. PicLab: A photo editing app where you can add texts (a lot of different and cute fonts), frames (not these ugly lame ones instagram has), etc. It's one of the best instagram photo editing apps.

4. Line: Some of you might know that Facebook took over Whatsapp. This is not really the reason why I want to use another IM app but I never really liked Whatsapp. So I downloaded Tango, Line, Viber, Telegram, OOVOO. The best out of the 5 was LINE from Naver Japan. 

5. Kakaotalk: Well I've been using it since I first got a smartphone but I don't really seem to see a lot of people in Europe and US using it. Only Koreans seem to use it even though it's really good! So how about you guys give it a try?

6. Farm Heroes Saga: I've been Candy Crush addicted for quite a long time. I managed to quit but now, Kings released another similar game which is really god (if not even better). I guess I'm addicted again..

3. Yeoja Fashion

I started a fashion instagram a week ago where I post pics of outfits and fashion items I like. Go follow Yeoja_fashion

Everything is fine

I try really hard to calm myself ever day in thinking everything is going to be fine and all bad is going to find an end soon. Most likely, it's going to be me who will have to set the finish line.. In between the negative events occuring, I realize even more how blessed I am with the people sticking with me. They literally surround me with positive vibe.

Another test in my life. It only made me stronger and I'm absolutely convinced that in the end bad people will suffer. I will try harder to do good work. What this lesson taught me was to trust your inner self and even more to love yourself.

I don't know the photographer of these picture. Found in on tumblr. The pictures just display what I need the most right now. A morning in spring. I used to go to the Han river a lot last year. The feeling of being in the heart of the city but going for a calm walk following the river was mind clearing. I think I need a fresh start since the beginning of this year wasn't really nice at all. But every time a year started bad, it always turned out to be awesome in the end. Let's hope for the best and the spring to come asap!

Mix of February 6th 2014

Because I've been so lazy these days, I'll give you a new 8tracks mix.

This one is more chill and for long bus rides.

Whenever you think I'm dead.. I'm on Instagram

2014 hasn't started smoothly for me. A lot of drama and decisions making took place until now. I'm not blaming anyone. I think it just happened and I'm ready to move ahead leaving the past behind.

I deactivated my Facebook account because I'm not really interested in other's life when I can't even figure out mine. Social network platforms are not what I need at the moment (except for Instagram: mrs_galbi). One and a half week of holidays is left and I want to use them for my advantage. So all I do for now is to draw, watch all the movies and TV shows I wasn't able to watch, work out and be totally lazy.
