To be the bigger person

-
I find it to be such a challenge.
That is, to be the bigger person.
When your heart aches and your world yanked out from beneath your feet, it is hard to be generous.

I miss the girl I was. I was always unbending and relentlessly righteous. No qualms about doing what's right, even at the cost of a great personal sacrifice on my part.

Years ago, I lost something. Afterwards, it came back. There's a saying about letting go of something and it coming back means it's destined for you.

How about when it's wrenched away again.

I want to be the bigger person. Someone who turns the other cheek. It's just that I haven't been tough on myself for a while. I need the practice for whatever it is that's to come.

If anyone is reading this, please pray for me. Pray that I have the wisdom to see things as it is and the strength to do the right things.

The Good Virtues Co skincare set

Review untuk skincare set ni sudah lama dalam perancangan saya cuma pada hari ini barulah saya berpeluang untuk tulis . Gambar yang aa ialah gambar set skincare The Good Virtues Co cuma yang tiub kecil tu ialah serum dan bukan pencuci muka yang saya gunakan. Saya membeli skincare set ni setahun yang lalu semasa berada dalam pantang. Mula-mula beli memang rasa bersemangat nak review tapi buat keputusan untuk tulis review ni setelah saya habis gunakan set ini. Saya sendiri tak pasti syarikat yang keluarkan prosuk ni dari mana tapi saya rasa ini produk Malaysia. Rasa sajalah..tiada alasan yang kukuh pun. Jika kita lihat laman web skincare ni pun, nampak imej antarabangsa. Mungkin ini salah satu cara untuk mereka meluaskan pasaran mereka ke peringkat global. Dalam skincare set yang saya beli ada pencuci muka, toner sembur, pelembab siang dan pelembab malam. Kulit saya jenis sensitif dan mudah kena eczema jadi saya memang tak berani pakai sebarangan produk TETAPI saya amatlah ter

Our Arau - KL Central ETS adventure

We decided to take the ETS just so that the kids could experience a train ride. I thought it would be nicer than a bus because the kids could move around. We took a train from Arau and stopped at KL Central. From there, we took the KTM commuter service to Seremban.  My kids couldn't sit still so I took them to explore the length of the train.  The cafe coach offers a number of microwaveable selections that my kids like.  I ordered chicken lasagna. After I was full of lasagna, almost midway through the trip the train staff distributed free meals, biscuits and soy drinks, that my kids like very much. We didn't get much photo opportunity, we had our hands full with the kids.

L'Oreal UV Perfect Matte & Fresh SPF 50

  This is a sunscreen from L'Oreal. I got this picture from the L'Oreal website. My friend Jamie introduced this to me. My exact words to her was I want something affordable and something that wouldn't make my face shiny. She took me to the L'Oreal section of the aisle at Watsons and showed me this. She told me that she usually uses this as a top-up after wudhu after noon prayers. I was worried about acne but she assured me that she has no problem with acne while using this product. This is a chemical sunscreen and the active ingredient is mexoryl. Mexoryl has been around for quite some time, relatively cheap and is very effective as sun protection. Because it is a chemical sunscreen, it does not have that white cast on your face after you put it on. So, that's a plus for me. I find that physical sunscreen quite annoying because of the white cast.  So, I got this for the very affordable price of aroud RM 26. The bottle is very thin and light, you could just chuck it
