A Little Girl's Story

Hello Beautiful People

Today, I'm sharing a story with you. There was once a little chubby girl who did not know and have completely no idea that she would grow up to what she had become; anxious, depressed and insecure. She used to be able to laugh her heart out, not care what people say about her and eat as much as she like. This girl grew up and got bullied. Not physically but emotionally and mentally. She was called dump, fat, bitch, not good enough, ugly and even worthless. At first she ignored the criticism; push away the judgement. Until one day, she had enough. She couldn't take it anymore and decided to listen to the judgement. She believed that she was fat, dump, not good enough and worthless. She believed what others said to her but then slowly, it wasn't just what other said, it was what her demon inside her said. The demon was praying on her slowly day by day. Eating away her humanity, her self-preservation and her love for herself. Days went on and she started hating her self more and more; thinking why cant she be skinny, or smart or just a little pinch more worthy. She started to believe the demon and the demon slowly took over her heart and soul.
She counted calories and ate 900+ calories a day, she exercised 5 hours a day, studied all the time, and tried to be perfect. She believed that no one is perfect and everyone is beautiful but she just could not convince herself that she was one of the beautiful imperfect people too. She tried, but the demon taught her otherwise.

Until a day came that she decided enough was enough. She missed the old chubby girl she used to be and wanted to live. She gathered her courage and talked to her parents. Her parents did not understand her at first and was judgmental. She knew that she had to recover but no one was there to help. No one was there to tell her that eating this few calories can literally kill you, no one was there to guide her out of the dark. no one was there to scoop her out of the demon's hand. She got worst. She dropped weight but she still thinks she wasn't good enough or thin enough. So she went on dieting. She would run for and hour and half everyday, eat fewer calories each day and study still her brain literally freezes. She could not find the energy to move most of the days because she was giving up on eating, on life. Still, the demon screamed at her saying she wasn't good enough. Her parents came by and saw what really was going on. They begged her to go back to the chubby little girl she once were but little did they know that it wasn't that easy. It's not like a wound you can heal after placing a bandage. It's not a broken furniture you can fix with a hammer. It's a mental issue where you have to kill the demon inside you and the only way to do that is by time. The girl needed time but her parents didn't want to give her that much. They still think it was just a sickness you can get better after medication and a kiss at the scar.

The girl gave up explaining to the world. She got into recovery herself and she met friends online who was helpful. She was strong but the demon in her was stronger. She fell back two steps again when she got up one. When her parents finally got to understand fully what was happening, it was too late. The demon scared the girl deeply and was living in her. She was slowly turning to the demon. Hot tempered, selfish, and stubborn. Her parents helped the girl to fight a battle that the girl could not done so herself. But the truth is, the only way to recover is if the girl was willing to accept. Her parents, family and friends can only be her shield while she holds the sword. After a year of tears, blood and a hell lot of downs then ups, the girl got her weight back. She was finally finding life and living it. She was finally understanding the beauty of being imperfect. 

That little girl was me. I used to have eating disorder, anorexic, and constantly have anxiety. I got through it and admit that it was 100% not easy. I have seem many people suffering the same thing and went on the wrong way to end their pain while others got through the storm. I am not sure I have recovered fully, I still get anxiety, I still get nervous when having too much food, I still suffer when I could not work out when given a chance to. But I am fighting, I am fighting every single day not to go back  to the demon's home. It's a dark and scary place. I'm sharing this not because I want pity. I'm sharing this partly because I don't want to hide my problems anymore, everyone had problems and it's okay. Partly also because I want some of you out there who may be suffering from body image, bully or eating disorder that there is still hope and the storm will pass. I may not be the best person to ask for advice or guidance but I promise I can and will be there for any of you who wants to talk or long for just a silent listener. My mail is always open.

Thanks for reading this awful long post. To all of you, when you are down, just Stand Up, Chin Up, and Smile. You are the best that you can be and no body can be better of being you then you yourself.

hugs and kisses.

If I Stay || Book Review

If I Stay

This book, I took along with me on the plane and travel. I have no regrets. This book is so beautifully written. It not only tells a story of a girl but also delivered a deep meaningful message to all readers. We should appreciate what we have before its gone cause you never know when faith turns its back on you and you never know when things will slowly slip away from your own palm. But what the author really wants to say is that you always have a choice, a say in life and that even tho there are accident, even tho there are false, there's always hope in life and light do shine their way in if only you let them in. People tend to give up when things get messy and hard to handle but this book taught me that when things get tough, you get stronger. 

Mia in this story was an ordinary girl who lives with her parents and a little brother, Teddy. One day she and her family were going out and there was an accident. From there, Mia lost all of them. She watch as they carry her love ones' body away. What surprise her most was that she was still alive, in spirit. And in her spirit she has all the flash backs of the old times. Adam, Mia's boyfriend was there for her all the time and so was her best friend Kim. They know it will be hard for her to face her lost if she wakes up but at the same time they were not ready to lose her too. Mia's grandparents weren't selfish enough to hold her back. Mia was given a choice to erase  her pain and rest in peace or she could stay and face the pain of her lost. The pain of grief are not easy to pass by. It may not seem real at first when when it does, the pain eats up the heart and soul in you one by one.

In the end, Mia chose her path. She wasn't sure if the path she chosen was right or wrong. But one thing she was sure of is that, right now, Adam, Kim and her grandparents needed her, as much as she needed them.

New Video Up !

Pei Wei & Food Shopping Vlog

Hello Everybody !

I have been so busy lately with college and moving stuff so I have not have the time to write any blog post but.- but I did take my camera along with me and amde it into a small little vlog/video where you follow me around. This vlog is mainly food (cause who doesn't like food?) and because we ran out of grocery that day so it was a food day aka fav day. hahah

NOTE : I do eat healthy most of the times, but its good to treat yourself once a while and I haven't had a treat for 5 months (literally). It's okay sometimes to let your taste bugs swim in a sea of indulgences because that is healthy. Eating healthy 24/7 can make you go insane and even cause tension when your meal plans goes a little out of order; believe me I know cause I have been there. So remember to treat yourself and have a lovely day peeps.

My Deepest Fear.

Yesterday, I took off. I flew to a whole new country, a whole new environment that felt like a whole new world. Many of my family and friends asked :

Wont you miss this place? Home?

Wont you miss your family? friends?

or say something like

You must be happy and excited

Don't get me wrong, I am excited and happy. Say the truth, I still pinch myself every time I wake up so I would know that I am not dreaming. But the truth is, I am scared.

I am scared of what lies ahead, the unknown. No matter how many smiles or how much I convince myself that I will be alright but being alright was a definition I still don't have the answer to. What does alright feel like? I often think what my life would be like if I did not took off? What would my life be if I did? The future scares everyone, don't tell me you aren't scared. The unknown is like the darkness, we yearn for the comfort of light as it provides shape and form. But what if you couldn't find the light and your darkness became a blur. What the future lies may be great when I am here, but will it be what I want. Leaving my family, my friends, was it worth it ? What if it didn't turn out the way I wanted it? What if my plans were like the millions of plan people had but never did come to life?

I had so much doubt and worries but when I was on the plane, I thought, it doesn't matter where I go. Family will still be there, true friends will stick but dreams are just one life opportunity. Its a grab it or leave it decision. I am not good with decisions if you know me well, I suck at them but I took this risk. What is life without risk right? My thoughts are now on a fine line but there is one thing I am sure. Right now, I am happy and that what's matter. This thought me a lot that we should do what we want and what makes us happy. We shouldn't think so much of the future. since we cant control it then way waste time worrying how it will turn out. Let faith have a word in our life and let faith bring the light. If you love what you do then do it. What matters now may not matter tomorrow but as long as now, you are happy then that whats truly matter.

The Maze Runner Series || Book Review

The Maze Runner Series

Thomas as mysteriously sent to a place that was in a middle of a maze. There were also a group of boys there. They were all surprised to see Thomas. Thomas, who was still dizzy in his mind of confusion, was not comfortable there. He found out that the boys had been there longer then he could ever imagine. They had divided themselves to groups and running the place like a city; cooks, builders, healers and what Thomas fancy most was the runners. The runners are selected to run into the maze when it is open to find any trace or clue of an exit and come back before the door closes. Thomas wanted to be a runner so he became one by proving himself worthy. It wasn't the fact that he didn't want to cook for the other or garden but something in his heart told him that he could find a way out and he knew it in his heart, just forgotten about it.

After a few weeks, a girl was sent to them. It was like having unicorns for your birthday, it doesn't happen, not at all. The boys all got curious but what made them more suspicious is that the girl knew who Thomas was. When she got there, she recognized Thomas immediately. Thomas had no memory of her. The girl too did not know her own name so that was that. A pile of questions. 

The end, they did find a way out but not many made it. It was a bloody ride. But once they were out, Thomas wasn't sure if being out of the maze was a good idea anymore. The world was different. Everything changed. The weather changed dramatically from hours to hours. There were people too, but wither they were sick or going to be sick. There was this disease going on where it gets to the brain of people. when you get this disease, it eats up your brain and you slowly go insane. Its like the walking dead. 

Thomas then got back his memories. SPOILER ALERT Tomas was in a mission for an evil government But he saw the wrong in doing what the government wanted so he created a cure. However the government locked him in the maze and washed his memories. SPOILER ALERT Thomas and the boys went on a mission to find the cure which, figure, is difficult.

I personally like the basic of the story, about getting out of a maze and finding a cure but the downer was that it was too draggy and long. Also it was so scary and its like a race literally. But if you like a good run and also action, I assure you there are a lot, a lot of action.
