the unsaid...
there are so many things left unsaid. sometimes couldn't find the courage. sometimes couldn't find the words. sometimes self-esteem gets in the way. and sometimes the brain is busy, or the heart is heavy... and needs to let off some steam. ha!
Dear Readers,
"La Tahzan, InnaAllaha ma'ana" (Al- Quran: Surah At- Taubah- Verse 40)
Translation: "Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us."
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." ~Edmund Burke~
In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Bridgerton Season 3: What do you think?
I think, I'm loving the sweet love stories. Colin Bridgerton & Penelope Featherington, Francesca Bridgerton & John Kilmartin.
Although I do not understand why each couple didn't get a season each.
So many stories crammed into one season. Argggghhhh... messy!
So many unnecessary scenes that I don't think provide any value to the series.
Benedict scenes... urgghhhhh... Michaela... why?! *fed-up*
The dresses, the suits, the flowers, the settings... beautiful.
Colin in in the beginning... awkwardly flirting... ewwww... But the glow-up, wow. Then, when Colin tries to redeem his friendship with Penelope, when he is jealous, his tortured heart... him getting angry, being protective, and taking charge... loveeeeee... I feel like Colin is so innocent and forgiving. As Penelope said, he is a good man. That is so true... I almost wish that he found someone better.
Penelope glows up. Love! Is that it? What else do I love about Penelope? Hmmmm... oh yeah, I love that towards the end she finally owned up to her faults and when I finally realized that she was a very successful writer, I was inspired. However, I was unimpressed with Penelope's heavy breathing... her chest up & down non-stop, and after a few times of that, I was fed up again.
I love how Francesca & John, as introverted and quiet as they are, can still be firm and sure about what they want and not afraid to pursue their wishes.
John Kilmartin seriously can make anyone fall in love with him by just his presence.
Francesca Bridgerton can make anyone fall in love with him with her killer smile and sweet voice. And also, by that determined character of hers. Love! You go, girl!
Gosh she's beautiful! As Claudia Jessie once said to Hannah Dodd, "Have you seen you?!" |
I love the mothers... Violet Bridgerton especially. How she knows her children and how her advice is always on point. Portia Featherington is no less. She works hard for her family's survival.
Mama Bridgerton always knows the right thing to say... |
Mama Bridgerton always knows what's going on with her children. You're always on her radar. No need to throw tantrums... |
Mommy Featherington... it's a tough world, but I'm a tough woman. An occasional headache, so what? |
Eloise Bridgerton and Cressida Cowper made an unusually good friendship. I love that Eloise finally takes charge of her life and goes looking for some adventures in Scotland.
Eloise is off to Scotland. Benedict ought to be looking for a better adventure too. |
Lady Danbury... as smart as always. Such a philanthropist.
I slay and I know it... |
*****
“I think you should consider yourself uncommonly lucky you
have never been in love.”
I was getting mad at Penelope again when Colin said this to Eloise. We still remember Theo Sharpe right. Eloise and Theo were good together. Not ideal considering the difference in their social statuses, but good, nonetheless.
*****
My favourite ball of all.
The Butterfly ball!
Now Varley, the bugs! Genius! |
"How lucky I am to stand by your side and soak up even a little bit of your light." |
"If my only purpose in life is to love a woman as great as you, then I will be a very fulfilled man indeed." |
You are a very good man Mr. Bridgerton. Yes you areeeee... |
Arghhhh... this Colin Bridgerton guy is making us set unrealistic expectations again.
But is expecting a man to be a good man, unrealistic? Not at all 💖
Wishing all of us looking for true love, a true love. 💋
Until next time!

Bridgerton: Polin or Lukola?
I've got you Pen. Don't you worry about a thing... |
The end of season 2 revealed that Penelope is Lady Whistledown (whatttttt???!!!) and Colin said 'I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington' (Colin! How could you?!)
I've read Julia Quinn's Bridgerton books, but I don't think I've read 'Romancing Mr. Bridgerton'. I didn't know this book was about Penelope & Colin. If I did, I would have grabbed and read the book since Bridgerton first came out on Netflix.

Go Jetters and Souvenir Selfie...
Is a concept that I really like right now.
Somehow nowadays, I'm not really fond with the idea of posing for photos. I prefer to take photos of sceneries when I travel. Plus, the aspiring landscape photographer in me hasn't been practising and is now rusty.
But I do like to take one or two group photos just to captured the memories.
So, I really do appreciate Go Jetters and its idea of souvenir selfie. One comprehensive photo that summarized the event and captured the emotions. I should practice souvenir selfie more often.
Would you just look at how nice their photos are.

It's been too long...
It's been 7 years since I last wrote here... can you believe it? 7 years!
I wonder if people still read blogs nowadays... hmmm...
In the last 7 years, I believe people have moved to other social media platforms. Blogs may not be relevant anymore. Nowadays, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have taken over. Not forgetting Facebook and some other apps that I know nothing about.
So, here I am, contemplating whether I should start writing here again. I've failed at so many attempts before this. The willpower is so weak, the heart is tired, the brain is cloudy, and the ideas are blocked. The words are all jumbled up in my mind and there is no excitement.
There are so many things that have been left unsaid... It's time to clear out all the spider webs in this room.
I'll start writing again. I will fight the pressure to stay under my 'coconut shell'. It doesn't matter if no one reads this blog, it only matters that I keep on writing. There is joy in written words, and I hope to spread that joy.
I'll see y'all in my next post. Stay tuned!
