Lifestyle of the Poor & Un-Famous Judy Ly

The late bloomer.

Yeah that was me… actually scratch that.. that IS me… why? there really isn’t an answer or explanation - things just happen the way they do & sometimes the decisions or events in your life either speed you up or slow you down.  

People say there is a path. The “right” path or rather the “normal” path and anything outside of that is considered unusual. It is the pressure of society that causes us to feel confined - I am no different.

However, it finally dawned on me - there is no such thing as a late bloomer nor is there a timeline. We all live life at our own pace and all I can do is continue living at the pace that feels right to me. All that matters is that I don’t take for granted those that are truly there for me especially during my tough times and appreciate all the little things that people do for me (after all - the small little gestures are super meaningful and are rare).

So what if it takes me a little longer to mature or if it takes me a little longer to build confidence or to finish school or whatever else…. WHO CARES

We are writing our own novel and a new chapter takes place when we decide to end one. How long or short we want each chapter to be is up to us - after all, we are the author no? :)

So LIFE be prepared because you’re now living at MY PACE :)

Change is the only thing constant

A statement that will never be false. We are constantly evolving and changing as we continue to grow and create our path. Even if we choose not to change and continue to stick with what we are familiar and comfortable with, the things around us will change and we will need to adapt. It is inevitable.  We should continue to embrace change.

Note to self: change is good :)

What’s the point of this? eh… I don’t know either :P hahahaha 

5 Things…

I bet you didn’t know… (taking a brain break haha). so enjoy!

1. Robyn during an interview inspired me to write songs in 6th grade & I’ve been writing here & there in pieces ever since (I’m not saying they are good, but… it’s still songwriting!!! LOL :p) I need to write more!

2. I wanted to be a radio host so I took radio training courses and was on the radio during dead hours for a little over a year (yes - that was me putting you to sleep!! LOL)

3. If I could have any talent it would be to sing… (I did have a dream once that I was on stage performing, but then the bad guys came & when the song was over the whole audience fell asleep BUT I swear it was because the bad guys dusted something in the air!!! hmpphh)

4. Two of my biggest flaws : being an over-thinker & indecisive…. (am I sure? ehhh not really LOL)

5. I once bought a punching bag, but due to the number of bruises on my hands my mommy made me return it… (I was just trying to be like Chung-Li jeez)

Over-rated….

Have you ever been super excited that you are on the verge of peeing in your pants while waiting in anticipation? Have you seen all the facebook postings raving about how AWESOME some thing or some place is? I’m sure you have…we’ve all been there! :)

sooo….you are determined to jump on the band wagon and check it out… you wanna be able to rave about it to your friends… try and see what the hype is all about..

you are SO EXCITED you could hardly wait for that yummy food to fill your grumbling tummy…

you are SO EXCITED that the movie will make you cry & laugh at the same time..

you are SO EXCITED that this experience will blow your mind

then you try it… and OVER-RATED!!!! :p

haha either that or your expectation just increases the more excited you get ;)

We all know I ain’t getting any younger……

therefore, good skin care products are important! :) I am currently trying 100% pure products (http://www.100percentpure.com/default.asp). Apparently they are 100

% natural & 100% vegetarian…so NO preservatives & NO alcohol !! Let’s see if they work!!!!

Fate

Fate is interesting … it is something that cannot be controlled even if you try to choose your fate.

A few months ago, I learned about fate… I was at the airport half dead (couldn’t sleep for the past 2 nights) trying to sleep on the uncomfortable chairs at the airport - my hair is a total mess and I look like crap. After several attempts to sleep, I look up and see this guy - fairly cute/handsome, tall, and very well put together. I saw him walking around for a bit until he found a seat on the other side. I do admit, I did think “that would be so crazy if I ended up sitting next to him”, but as we were being called to check in based on our rows - he had already gone in.

I didn’t think much of it, but when I walked in to go to my seat - I found it was taken. A man was already sitting in MY seat… I didn’t mind, but at the same time when the lady found out it was my seat all she said was “well I figured I didn’t really have to ask because no one would want to sit in a row next to screaming kids” - interesting because I would never take someone’s seat unless I asked them first; anyhow, she points to where her husband’s original seat was and to my surprise that guy was sitting in that row!! I toss my purse across to the floor accidentally waking him up (he had his eyes closed) - apologized and went to put my luggage up in the cabin.

I find my seat and we were waiting for the middle person to come, BUT that person never showed up!! It was supposed to be a full flight too… anyhow, so the guy asks me “did they take your seat” and I said “yeah, but it’s totally fine, I totally understand and I don’t mind” since the seat actually had “extra leg room” - I’ve never sat in the aisle that had the extra leg room it’s pretty nice and the tray’s come out from the side :) anyhow.. we ended up chatting throughout the entire flight - about 2 hours about random things and before we left he had asked for my number.

I am still chuckling on how things happen the way that they do… who would have ever thought a guy I had saw while chilling at the airport would end up being in the row that I was sitting in (originally I was in row 21, which I changed to row 7, which then became row 6), who then would end up just being us two (the middle person disappears) .. then having a conversation… life surprises me, but then again this happens to me often.

I wonder why that is the case, but in the meantime whether the person becomes a good friend, a future bf, or just a stranger - life has always worked in mysterious ways in my opinion. Fate is something that just happens. For me personally, I’ve been lucky because there have been a few instances where I see someone from afar and sooner or later by chance we happen to run into each other again :)

Oh Fate… you like to play your magic
