#15 Little Julie - One of my favourite songs from Leona Lewis, 'Happy'
Life's about taking risks, and taking chances, even if it might mean you go down burning in flames. But it could also mean you discover happiness that you've never known before, and your life is changed forever. Whatever the outcome, at least you gave it a shot. I know I sound like a dork trying to explain how I interpret this song, and yes, I know it's about her getting her heart broken and is doing her best to move on, but underlining of it all is that she just wants to be happy despite of it - basically what I'm saying is that I know most of my choices can be seen as mistakes or stupid, but at one stage, it was what I wanted and it makes me happy, even if I know everything can just flip back to being crappy again very soon. It's all about saying 'So what if it's going to hurt me? I'm just trying to be happy'.
(lol, I don't think that made any sense, but oh wells!)
Now and then it's good to pause in
our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

1. My family's cafe with the front counter and kitchen in sight :) Doesn't it look like a little comfy cafe for you to just chill in? 2. TIMES sign above the coffee machine - these photos were taken for The Good Food Guide 2012! 3. Our display coffee cups are the best of friends! :) props to Nicole hehe! 4. The finished painting for Anna, for her friend Roxanne's birthday! I sure hope her friend likes it >.< My sister couldn't wait to show it to her friends, so sweet! 5. Anna specified that she wanted Adidas winged shoes to be part of the painting, so here they are :) 6. Couple of old photos that I dug up from my old hard drive, taken back in late 2009 - where I was just practicing my face decor for Cat's 21st birthday! I really liked wearing those feather lashes! :D Everyone looked great that night <3

So far all I know that this weekend is gonna be
chock-a-block with things to do!
chock-a-block with things to do!
On my agenda so far is working Saturday morning, cleaning out my closet so I can make room for my new one in my room, work on my commission paintings for Anna and my friend, continue working on setting up my small online shop... (>_<) wow! Life sure does get busy when you least expect it! I guess that's what happens when you start doing more things beyond your normal routine. :) It's good!
Also, can't wait for this Sunday! :D Catching up with a couple of the girls, so I hope it'll be super nice weather, like it was today! Well, it was actually boiling hot in the cafe but it looked beautiful outside :) Spring is definitely in the air <3
Anyway, time for bed! Early wake up again tomorrow (>.<) Goodnight!
Love, from Julie xox
