So most of you are well aware that this blog used to be where Sweet and I would rant on about issues that irk us, our pet peeves and what not. One common recurring topic would be feminism, I can proudly and unashamedly say that I am a feminist, I feel very disheartened at the stereotyping that it has undergone, detracting away from the fact that the word at it heart simply promotes equality between genders. There are so many inadvertent feminists out there (thank you) and it is about time for change. Emma Watson may just be the top girl crush of the moment with her UN speech that has unsurprisingly gone viral (you go girl!). It is just a little sad to see the negative reaction with the threats of nude photos being leaked, can we please take one step forward and not have to risk taking two steps backwards. At the very least, the rumoured photos did incite more women to come forward in support of gender equality and it did highlight how misogyny can be so entrenched as to compel some people into making women feel insecure and belittled.
Some word for thought

#528 - Roll with it
I'm really unaccustomed to my lengthy absence on the blogosphere. I don't know, I've kinda fallen into a rut with blogging after almost four years. But let's move on.
I feel like I'm liking the person I am becoming more and more with each passing day. I don't seek perfection and neither do I assume that I am this or that. There's just too much effort involved in pulling off such a fraud. I don't care that much anymore and that's a good thing.
Things have picked up since last time :) I feel at peace with myself. Thanks for the continuous rollercoaster ride you keep giving me, life. Although I will initially sit and wallow in a sorry pool of misery for a while when I'm thrown a curveball, I dare myself to move (on). [Oh Switchfoot]. And I do it. Again. And again, because in the end, I know everything will be fine. Those moments of extreme highs where I have felt so much happiness I just want to jump for joy and extreme lows - I will remember them all as something I've lived through. This is life.
My favourite things à la Sound of Music:
1. Adventure awaits. I am so keen. More details to come :)
2. More adventure in the form of Adventure Time. I am hopelessly addicted.
3. Season 8 Doctor Who. I don't think any words can ever quite express the love I have for this.
4. Fancy tea parties - the whole shebang: English brekky (my love), fine china, cakes and quiche. All spent with the best company (R, G & S) and the one and only fluffy Shiro. I cannot wait for next time. Tea parties for dayzzz
5. Camaraderie.
- C people: so nice. And B? The bestest. I can never shut up and stop my incessant yapping. No judgment ever. Looking forward to many more awesome times ahead.
- L people: awesome, awesome bunch. Enough said!
- H people: my faves! :)
6. Fam. Where would I be without you all?
7. Having a passion for something. And seeing that I'm getting somewhere even if it's happening at a slow pace
8. Using my own means of getting by even if it's done awkwardly. Heck yes. I did it!
9. Moar concerts!
