Perfect Sundays

I love having my Sundays to myself. Perhaps the weekdays and weeknights get so busy that I look forward to spending some time in solitude. I almost never book any outing with friends on Sunday. I also love starting out my Sunday with a cup of coffee and blogging.

As busy as it was in the past week, I had the luxury of seeing a good friend from University after a year and a half. It felt really good to be around an old friend. Thanks Rebecca!

I also got a postcard from Mr. Eric this week! That was surprising because I didn't expect one so soon. I think towards this year end, I'm going to fill a section of the wall in my room and call it the "postcard wall". When I was shuffling through my bookshelf the other day, I found a few postcards from some friends. Re-reading them put a smile on my face, especially when they fill out every space of the postcard with their experiences.

Yesterday, I did something new in my life and it felt liberating and almost "grown up". I have Mark to thank for all the input and listening to all the relaying of the indecisiveness. I also have Eugene to thank for being there with me and my family. And Salima for always being there for me in every step, from the researching to the excitement to the actual finish.

I also love finding out new things about some of my friends. Just this week alone, I found two other friends who are into photography. I'm looking forward to many-a-photography escapades with them. I also love spending time with people one-on-one now as opposed to a group. There are so many things that I learn about them that I never had the fortune to know when we're in a group setting. Sometimes I think I'm continually surprised by them, that if there's anything surprising about me that they don't know of. Oh, the surprise elements of friendship.

I've also been making a list of places to travel (in no particular order): Vancouver, Thailand, China (incl. Taiwan and HK), Australia, Singapore, San Francisco, Italy, Buenos Aires, Peru, Tanzania, Mauritius, Sweden....
