People Person

I can safely say that I am not much of a people person.

I love my tiny cave where I can spend hours and hours without moving an inch (except for toilet times and when I'm hungry). The fact that I love spending my time alone in my room does not mean that I do not like to see the world outside.

I do love going out but I just prefer doing it alone or with someone I'm really really comfortable with. I appreciate my alone time so much and that explains why I do not like it when people come and take away my 'me' time for so long. I have dates with myself that I want to fulfill: binging on my food, watching tv series, shopping on my own, lazing around in my room.

It's not a sad thing! Being alone and being a loner are two different things. I am perfectly fine being with myself and I enjoy it.

I am not fond of crowds and I try to avoid them as much as possible, though I do not mind crowds of babies. HEHE. Whenever there's a gathering and babies are involved, you can find me wherever the babies are instead of wherever the adults are. There's this saying:

"Natrah and babies." :P

Travelog: Montreal Botanical Garden

My worst nightmare while traveling: rain.

Don't get me wrong, I love rain. It's just that when I travel, I prefer if it's not raining because it would be easier for me to get around town in my plain clothes and no umbrella or raincoat. My photos would be more awesome too! Blue skies, white clouds in the background is definitely my favourite kind as my photography skill is not awesome enough to turn a gloomy day, beautiful.

When I went to Montreal last summer, the weatherman told me that it was going to rain the day I was there for one whole day. I was pretty disappointed with that news and tried to plan my adventure around that. My friend and I decided to do outdoor sightseeing on the day we arrived and left Montreal because it would be sunny during the day and raining by night.

Therefore, after we checked in that day, we went straight to the Jardin Botanique de Montréal or Montreal Botanical Garden. I am not quite a fan of trees, flowers and stuff like that but I thought it was something nice to see for a change, so why not? I guess I was in a luck for they were having an exhibition called Mosaïcultures Internationales de Montréal where sculptures were made out of different kind of plants and I thought they were awesome! If not for the exhibition, I would have dozed off at the entrance...

One of my favorites: Mother Nature.

I love the bright pink colour on this one.

My bias vote.

Feeling kind of proud when I saw this. :D

Self-Improvements

I am such a lazy bum...

To be honest, I have been thinking a lot lately. There are so many things on my mind and most of them are in the category of self-improvement. I am so not content with myself. I feel that I am lacking in so many aspects...

It's not I-suck-I-hate-myself kind of thing, but more to like I-can-do-so-much-better-than-this.

Well, I think it's good. I'm trying to take care of myself better. Hopefully, it's not just a phase that I'm going through. I sincerely want to be a better version of myself, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

I have these goals in my head that I want to achieve. I think I should write them down and see what and how I can achieve them one by one. Slowly, but progressively.

Hey, I'm taking my baby steps. One step at a time. :)
