THE WAR IS NOT OVER YET

We are going to be in March of year 2021 and my country Malaysia is still battling with the waves of COVID-19 (like many other countries right now) however our Prime Minister has announced a National Immunisation Programme (NIP) and it is believed to be effective by late February upon the arrival of vaccination supplies. Dosage will be given by stages accordingly to every quarter of the year, the first Q1 will be prioritising front-liners, govt/public officers/staff and also elder people (Group 1-those who are at more risk than an average) while the rest will followed throughout the year. This initiative is expected to take between 6 - 9 months to achieve national goal, however we are thankfully not experiencing a lock-down situation as our movements and economic sector are allowed with certain restrictions provided we follow the rules implemented or SOP.

NOVEMBER RAIN

Saying hello to November, I am so grateful that I achieved my production goal in the month of October. I have successfully published a blog where I wrote an article educating Gender Roles and Equal Rights in dating/marriage by using my applied knowledges in Sociology and real-life experiences that I observed in this world. All the research I conducted were not endorsed by any party, I did everything and invested all my time alone out of passion. I worked all day and night to some point my parent had to remind me to take a break from the computer but I just couldn't, I realised I am a workaholic when it comes to doing something I am truly passionate about. There's no stop in between, it felt like a drug. It was so addictive to work and get things done, I guess that's why it only took me 5 days to write that article. And the best part is many people I know actually agreed on my stand in this issue after they read the article, it's a good feeling when you have spoken for the voiceless. By mid-october things were pretty chill for me, it was raining a lot and anyone who knows me personally will know that this is my favourite weather, I was drawing a lot too. However, Malaysia is currently going through another wave of the COVID-19 outbreak which is a very big deal considering our country was previously praised for its recovery from the virus therefore this put us back to the main SOPs and encouraging us to "#StayAtHome". At the same time, end-october was the best for me when I took advantage of staying at home during CMCO (Conditional Movement Control Order) by mastering the kitchen and enhancing my cooking skill. I am extremely happy and feel really good about myself after I cook something or whenever I discover a new dish. I have been cooking continuously everyday for the past week : I made breakfast, lunch, prepped dessert/snack, dinner. Within a week I made my very own mushroom soup from scratch, pasta, tortilla, popsicles and more. I feel so proud of myself for being productive because I obviously cleaned all the dishes and cooking utensils I used. I have been making frequent trips to the grocery shop but anyone who knows me long enough agree that my fav kind of shopping has actually always been grocery shopping (aside trip to the bookstore to buy books hehe) because there is just something about browsing the supermarket that gives me joy. The cereal section, buying dairy-free ingredients, snacks, fresh fruits and the list goes on. I cannot wait to see what November have for me in store, I am looking forward as we enter a new month.

My love,

1 year ago today we saw each other on the escalator, I was going up you were going down where you almost tripped when you looked at me. We then went off our separate ways, at least that's what I thought.....

Out of the blue, someone pat my back. I turned around it was you, I didn't know how to react.

I remember the kind of feelings I experienced, it was..crazy. You literally came back up and chased after me just to approach a conversation, for a second I asked myself at that very moment "is this real?" Because it felt like a movie."Did he really walk back up just to talk to me?" "OMG why do I feel happy?" We proceeded to exchange our digits without hesitation and the rest is history.

It was a rollercoaster ride with you, it was good and bad with you, it was joy and tears with you — It was love with you. I found love when I found you, I knew love when I knew you. We have been through all kind of things together to the point we almost made an official end, but you came back once more, this time apologetically and I still chose you unapologetically. I will always choose you, as I have from the first ever conversation we had at the mall. We survived our first year and learnt a lot together — We mastered communication, we embrace forgiveness, we accept each other the way we are and celebrate the beauty of being perfectly flawed BECAUSE of LOVE and many more great things. We have seen each other's lowest point and still loved each other during turbulent moments. I am proud to be yours and happy that you're mine, you are enough for me. I love you and I want only the best for you, you deserve more than a world can imagine. I will stand on top with you, it's us against the world.

You always tell me "I fell in love with you since I laid my eyes on you on the escalator" Oh aren't you so sweet? You never failed to charm me! Not a single day goes by I do not think of you, for you are always on my mind. It will always be you for me. It doesn't matter where I am, who I am with or what I do : Love is You.

I wrote a poetry for you — You always say I am the brightest star, but the sky would be incomplete without you. No matter where I shine I will always have your lovely companion because you are the moon of all nights in my life.

You call me angel, for I am the guardian of the fountain in your heart streaming water above heavens.

You are my sailor when you cross seven seas of all fishes but still choose me, I am your little mermaid.

I talk to all celestial creatures in the sky to tell the universe how much you mean to me, no constellation can measure the shape of my love for you, no paths of stars can track the journey I would walk with you because I love you infinity.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary baby, I love you so much sweetheart, as I do then and forever I will ♡

Yours truly,

ALYA NAZIR

PROGRESS

My biggest achievement for my womanhood this month is my menstrual cycle because I did not experience a delay (unlike one of my last cycles) when I woke up with my period on time! I put many dedication and effort to maintain a healthier food intake and was eating clean roughly a week+ before it came and thankfully it showed result as this will motivate me towards a long-term goal! I used to be an emotional eater linked from depression years and I pampered my belly way too much until I recently started to take my "down there" very seriously. I have spent a lot of time doing nutrition research, recipes and also restaurants serving healthy food. I noticed my diet plays a major role for my menstrual cycle, I saw a significant period arrival last month when I made my fresh avocado banana smoothie so there was no 5 days delay as I initially expected hence why I decided to go all out this month. I am grateful for these moment as it helps me grow and learn everyday. And that is something I love about living, is that I am always eager to learn once something sparks me.

Time Travel

If I had a machine that could allow me to go back in time then I would definitely visit the past because there are 3 different decades I would like to experience.

1. Renaissance era

The golden age where art, literature & political culture were booming, a period of major social change in Europe transitioned from dark to light. It is also a rebirth in architecture and science where great thinkers made their intellectual discovery a history. I am an Artist and Poet myself hence why this decade would suit me best, I also enjoy History just as much and I fancy Italian culture as most of my favorite historical events situated in Rome. My poetry aesthetic are mostly dreamy however I relate with animals & plants in my work a lot because I am a lover of nature. I am also a huge fan of Western Zodiacs, anything to do with the constellations and the meanings behind it really intrigues me because I genuinely think Astrology will help you to understand yourself better based on the fixed characteristics which have already been explained by nature, needless to say it will also give you insightful information about other people based on their signs so you too understand them. Undoubtedly, I connect with the universe so deep that Astronomy & Cosmology have quickly became my favourite science recently and I would always do my homework whenever I am curious. Anyone who knows me well know I that LOVE LOVE theories, I will NEVER get bored of it. It keeps me going and going, discussion of theories is what I enjoy the most in conversation. I absolutely love it when someone is able to relate with me on a certain level which enables ideological growth.

2. Late 1950s-Mid 1960s

Yes I know this post-World War II period may not be a good idea to go back due to political and sociological issues that widely occurred then but in this case I look at the bright side — it was an era of suave men, cigarettes in the hands of elegant women, males singers wrote songs for the lady of their dream on how they wanna treat them right ; life was simple, love was so romantic and music was pure. Putting a favourite record on the player, writing letters as a form of communication. Fashion on the runway was unbelievably iconic with the existing high-end houses like Chanel, Dior and Hermès. 60s styled of winged eyeliner was invented, which is why I now can't even leave the house without applying eyeliner. I have a specific style and aesthetic which makes me authentic. I discovered what I love, and something that define my interests, for instance, an identical old-Hollywood style wing eyeliner on my eyes can tell that I am madly in love with this decade! Red was the known colour on women's lips and manicure, hence why I fell in love with these moments of the world even more because my first favourite colour has always been red and I remember my first ever lipstick signature shade when I was young was also red.

3. My childhood

I'd definitely wanna rewind back to the days when I was a little girl because I was always jolly. I loooooved playing with my Barbie dolls, it was my happiness. I found endless of joy in playing with toys (which explained why I still have the same excitement whenever I walk into a ToysRus now) Personally to me from a grown up point of view, it kept me well distracted from what was rather missing — My parents were extremely career-minded couple that they left the house before I woke up and came back when I was about to sleep on a regular basis, even on days they came home early, they then left again at 8pm to enjoy nightlife with their friends, they were both very outgoing people. But I just didn't see that a problem as a child, on weekends however was the time where I actually spent moments with them when they took me to the mall every time resulting not once I came home without a new toy and yes I was happy LOL. I had childhood friends that played dolls together with me, I loved my twinkle socks and LED Barbie trainer shoes. I loved my PS2 Bratz game and CD-ROM computer games (major throwback huh). I enjoyed browsing Barbie, Myscene & Polly Pocket online websites to play their games (the biggest thing that represents a girl's y2k childhood). I loved blowing bubbles in the park. I loved making ice cream and cupcake swirls from Playdough. I loved collecting stickers and framed it in my sticker book. I still have my Barbie Ballerina Jewellery box like one of those classic key twist and the figurine would spin with a soft tune, I keep my choker necklaces and colourful hair ties inside.

If you could travel back in time, when would that be?

Coffee or Tea?

Everybody has a personal choice, surely you drink one or the other or even both but I am not a coffee drinker therefore I am someone who sips tea, it’s simply my preference. Needless to say, tea generally carries major added benefits that also helps to strengthen your immunity. I think tea is the best, it boost hydration for my body and helps freshen my fluid intake. 

For instance, Green Tea (the healthiest drink I can think of) reduce risks of getting cancer, supports weight management (swap your sugary drinks to green tea) it is great for anyone who wants to lose weight or simply maintain a healthy body system and the list goes on. 

Pursuing this further, teas are easily available at the shops like coffee ; When there is a coffee, there is a tea almost everywhere. I have a few favourites and I usually order each kind according to the shop, mood and occasion I am going for that moment! Sometimes I prefer to have iced peach tea over alcohol drink on a friday or saturday night at my regular Hookah Lounge Bar, whereas at one of my fav tea house which is Betjeman & Barton ; I would order a herbal flavoured Camomille! I also enjoy going for high-teas at good places because I am quite a sweet tooth myself so sugar bites from a beautiful 3-tier dessert tower over some nice tea will win my heart and I like to have this with people especially from my professional circle so we connect in a comfortable environment.  

You can see why I fancy tea more than coffees, now I’m going to end this post by sharing with all of you my fav (and the best places) to treat yourself a cup of tea or proposing high-tea meetings for your associates or loved ones!

Self-Observation

At this point I think some people would have guessed that I am probably experiencing communication breakdown due to my nature because I am completely the opposite though, I open up or rant about small issues but I do not share big problems. I honestly prefer to deal with the bigger picture in private, in fact there are so many things that I do in silent that not many know. Everything I shared is calculated therefore I like to say that I am in control of what people think of me. I kinda like it this way, although this may not be very helpful when I am going through a tough time but I learnt to stand firm alone so I wouldn’t say I am secretive, I am simply emotionally-reserved. Maybe it’s due to after everything I went through, I just decided to stop asking for major emotional help. Self-reliance is all I know.

One thing about me I am so thankful of is that I never let my mental health affect my career, I am normally stable when doing work and have no problem handling pressures because when I am working on something it means I am doing exactly what I love and wanna do as I radiate passionate energy in this moment. Meaning, my loner or isolated nature have 0 difficulty to attend meetings and meet people from professional circle.

Besides all of that, I upgraded my makeup skill! I started wearing eyeliner and killed a good wing on my eyes, started wearing lashes, basically doing everything makes me happy and comfortable. Its craaaazy! I can’t even step out of the house now without wearing eyeliner as part of my makeup look, I’d feel NAKED! I also now apply lash serum on my eyelashes every morning and before bed so i wake up with healthier lashes. I loveeeee doing anything in a form of self-care and self-maintenance. It makes me feel great, blessed, beautiful and powerful knowing every single thing I do is for ME.

IMPROVEMENT

There has been a good result in my sleeping pattern that I am so grateful about! — For the past 5 days I have had sufficient sleep because I surprisingly did not experience any difficulty falling asleep. It's like a fuckin magic and I don't even know how or what I did but I'm not gonna complain. I am so happy, I haven't had real sleep for as long as I remember, swear to god I'd whine regarding this problem to my man every night. Insomnia is commonly linked from depression so with all the emotional imbalances that I struggle with makes my sleeping disorder nothing new actually, however this week is showing some significant hope!! I strongly believe that is what happened when I never give up, and carry on with life no matter how hard it is. Stay alive and things will get better, don't know how or when but let time play it's charm.

[ladymeetsworldxo]

It's just too much

[ladymeetsworldxo]

MINOR CHANGE

This whole restricted movement & quarantine literally deteriorates my sleeping disorder to the extent I find my own moodswing very unpredictable. I would usually open up to my closed ones when something really bothers me at the utmost level but nowadays I try to keep it to myself simply because its just too exhausting to explain myself all over the same thing again— I come to the point where I don't need everyone to understand me anymore, I don't want to expect anything because in the end only I understand/can help myself more than anyone else. Come what may, I want them to think i'll be "fine" but if I need anyone to listen to my problems then I know where to find them. Overall I'm super blessed to have wonderful people around me.

DREAM HOUSE.

We all have dreams of what we'd like our very own future house to be therefore I would luuuv to share my definition of a perfect home AKA my own barbie dream house! DISCLAIMER : using pictures from pinterest for inspirational references only so all 4 media in this post belong to their rightful owners and not mine.

Firstly, I kinda need to set up my own office at home for the time I need to study or do my research as well as completing leftover paperwork in my house so, just a small space with desk area and built-in wall shelves (as seen in the first pic) would do.

As somebody who LOOOOVES to read, I want a reading corner (seen in second picture) so I can keep all of my books collection in dem' huge ass shelving units with a nice white sofa where I can lie down to enjoy my moment of peace.

Thirdly, I would love to have a walk-in wardrobe to especially store my fashion possession such as handbags for instance. It does not have to big but spacious enough to walk around.

La mia casa would not be complete without a modern indoor fish pond design that Ive always fancy so that I can house my dream koi fishes!!

What's your dream house like? ❤

DEALING WITH LOSS.

She still cross my mind whenever I'm trying to sleep so that is when I'll silently break into tears anytime between 1 AM - 5AM and cry myself alone. Sure, I may have had Insomnia before but it is very tough to notice her absence. I know acceptance is the key, its not that I never accepted fact, I did but it's not that simple for me. Thoughts running through my mind, if it doesn't get crazier sometimes I imagine her voice and I still get to hear exactly how she sounded like. I cope with my depression by ISOLATION. If you know me personally you know how capable I am of pushing people away just to have my ""space"" . Unfortunately, my space isn't just a space anymore. It's an escape into the solitary world that only me and my family exist. The severity of my low self-esteem now also fuel me to be distant from everyone else. It just..........hurts. Here is a piece of poetry I made for my late-Mother

8 months since you were taken away, still I miss you everyday, I wish you were here today, so I could be with you for one more day.

Letter to God.

In the name of Allah The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful

O Almighty, I'm extremely grateful for the shelter protecting me from the exposure of hazardous environment or uncertainty weather, for the food on the table that fills up my tummy, for the fresh water I drink to stay hydrated from thirst, for the clothing I wear, for the shoes I walk with, for the jewelry I have as adornment, for the parent (father) I still have to continuously educate me about the rollercoaster ride life gives, for the siblings I was born in, for my best friends who are my laughing medicines, for my boyfriend who loves me for who I am, for the cats that simply are my unlimited happiness and for my heart which still beats on this very moment.

My lord, please forgive my sins and have mercy upon my parents as they had mercy upon me when I was small. O Almighty, please forgive my sins ; the smallest and the greatest, the past and the presents, the declared and undeclared. O Almighty, please forgive the sins of siblings, forgive the sins of my good friends, forgive the sins of my partner, and may they are always protected by the Angels from the worldly troubles.

I feel depressed not because I do not have faith in You but the trials you set me in have put me into some emotional degree leading towards unhealthy choices for myself which affect my spirituality. I take full responsible for my actions, I derseve what I deserve and I will pay my price. I still have good intentions O Almighty, I don't need to tell the whole world what it is because You already know. Only You have the right to grant me that attainable goal. Come what may, I am still a firm believer and I'll always believe in Your Existence, in your Books, in Heaven and Hell, in Angels and Demons, in Prophets, in Day of Judgement, in Divine and Decree, in all living creatures.

I am man-made, I was born to die, this is all just a dream and One day I will wake up to my actual life.

However, in your name I live & die.

SCORPIO + TAURUS

"The planet Pluto, God of the Underworld, rules over the Scorpio man. It deals with his subconscious mind. On the other hand, the Taurus girl is ruled by the planet Venus, the Goddess of Love. This celestial body influences her compassion and devotion."

First and foremost, I used to admire the traits of a Scorpio male because of their all-or-nothing kind of character. I find their posessive nature very flattering and they can be extremely territorial too. This zodiac is ruled by Pluto the planet of transformation and regeneration, and Mars the fiery planet of action and energy which makes the man very dedicated, hardworking, faithful, stubborn, passionate, brave and violent. They are a fixed sign which makes excellent leaders so they will want to dominate the relationship but because they are a water sign, they live to experience and express as they manifest their emotions differently than other water signs (Pisces & Cancer).

On the other hand, Taurus is ruled by Venus the planet of love and attraction so they share traits of beauty, artistry, hedonism and a love for luxury and comfort which makes a Taurus female practical, loyal, passionate, materialistic, hardworking, reliable and possessive. However, they're more notoriously stubborn than their other earth signs (Virgo & Capricorn). Taurus is an independent nature who is industrious and will stretch to any extent to finish the task successfully.

As a Taurus woman myself, I met my Scorpion King on a good friday (10th of October 2019) when we saw each other on the escalators while I was going to the upper floor and he was going lower floor. Unexpectedly, he went back up again just to approach me because we used to know each other but only talked for awhile so it has been so long since we contacted or met. I was stunned when he patted my back, I've never had anyone so interested to talk to me, I was lost in words. There was a spark inside my mind that I didn't know how to explain, it was a feeling that I had never felt before. Being a curious cat, I then took the initiative to exchange numbers to get to know him. When we messaged, I noticed he appeared a little mysterious as he did not open up much about himself yet so eager to know about another person's story but he provided me comfort that I couldn't find a reason to not be an open book so I told him I just recently lost the lady whom I called Mama and he consoled me like no other guys ever had before. Later I asked when he was born and he said 12th November, therefore, as somebody who is ruled by mostly brain and not heart, I decided to take the risk that following night based on whatever knowledge I have from studying the compatibility of Scorpio male & Taurus female so the rest is history!!

We have strongly been together for 6 months and 2 weeks now — We managed to make this far by dropping our egos and embrace forgiveness in our relationship. We went through MANY ups and downs as I expected but I am driven by willpower to try to make this work and vice versa because we do genuinely love each other. We may values different things, hence why we are a good example of opposite attracts, but I am not gonna let that stop us from loving each other. Putting ALL negativity aside, he is a romantic guy and the way he protects me from all the worldly problems is something I always adore him about, I need comfort and he gave me security as well which is a surplus. I believe we are determined to withstand the forces that threaten to tear us apart for a long-term chemistry. I had 2 relationships before but the way my Scorpio man loves me is breathtaking. Sweetheart I know you're reading this, I wrote another poetry for you ;

He is handsome in his own way, still he charms me like the first day, I am so in love with him in every way, that I just couldn't find another word to say.

I honestly don't know what the future holds, nobody does but all I know is I love him so very much and the most that he is so dear to me. ❤

Yours truly, Alya
