Serenading Sissy While I Teach Her To Curl Hair

November 21, 2015 :: I opted out of the studio to serenade Sissy in her bathroom while I taught her how to curl her hair since she wanted to do it for Brother’s wedding. And when I played she asked me some questions about guitar. It’s funny how the little sissy is teaching the older sissy things. I’m proud to say when wedding day came, she killed it with the curling of her super thick long hair without any help. So so proud. Moments like these with anyone are my favourite. I don’t get much of these moments with anyone anymore since we all have our own things going on (or because I’m kind of lazy to get out of my comfort zone) so I cherish them with all my heart.

Brian and Tammy Wedding - Dallas, Texas

September 26, 2015 :: B is officially married! I cried when I saw him get out of the Tesla in his suit … but other than that, I didn’t cry at all which surprised me. I was honored Tammy asked me to be a bridesmaid. I got to spend more time with B throughout since I was part of the wedding party. I get probably only three times a year to spend with him since we live in different places and I constantly contemplate if I should move to Dallas to be closer to them. But then I’ll want to be close to Sissy and the parents as well. At the same time, I feel like someone or something is keeping my heart hostage in Houston even though I know nothing will come from it. Maybe one day my heart will be free and if not fully, enough to where Dallas might be more of a possibility. We all joked that in the picture I am waiting for my significant other. He never shows up … per usual. haha

Wine Night - Pinot Noir

October 02, 2015 :: Sissy had a wine night at her place. Everyone brought a bottle of pinot noir and we blind judged them to best to least favourite. I got second place!!! Which is pretty sweet since I don’t know anything about alcohol but that I like ’em (all). I probably drank a bottle and a half and I was feeling perfectly fine. I was having fun and laughing and joking and it was grand … until I decided to chug a few shots of fireball. For the first time in my life I can say I was fully drunk … the kind of drunk where I actually threw up (like a lady) and where I didn’t remember a little part of the night … the part of the night where I might have said something to someone who doesn’t care about me that way anymore … ever? At least I can check off getting drunk of my bucket list once and for all.

Pete's Piano Bar and MKT Bar - Houston, Texas

October 09, 2015 :: Tried out a new place. MKT Bar. BIL and I got beer flights and we did our trade off of the ones we liked and disliked between the two per usual. Had chicken and waffle sliders, chickpea fries, and three different types of creme brulee. The other two got some kind of cocktail and desserts. We were so stuffed. The best part of the night other than trying out a new place is getting to go to Pete’s Piano Bar. I hadn’t been since last time I went with Travis and Jenny back in San Antonio when we did our little trip. I love this place. I love watching people play and sing and just act silly. Gahhhh … wish I was as talented as these folks. They can literally play every instrument AND sing. I was “in love” with the douche as BIL put it. He was douchey … but he made me laugh the most which I needed since the whole entire week was horrible. So So SO SOSOSOSOSOS horrible. I can’t even begin to start explaining.

Hot Pot - Houston, Texas

October 10, 2015 :: I finally got to try hot pot in a restaurant here in the USA. I’ve only had it in my household and in Asia whenever I visit. They don’t have as much choices as Asia … obviously. Would I come back? I don’t know … it’s debatable only because when we do it at home, we get to buy everything we like so that means more food that we love. The only downside about it is having to clean up. But if we have enough hands helping out, it’s not too bad.

The week is almost over. One more day and it’s the weekend. I have plans to see my faves. Hopefully I actually don’t get lazy and follow through with my plans.

Hope you’re all having a great week and an even greater weekend ahead!

Till next time, Stay Positive and Think Good Thoughts!

Hold My Breath

September 14, 2015 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’ve been so busy these past two weekends that I went shopping to de-stress. SHOPPING. Who am I? Wake me up when September ends? haha I’m glad I went though because I bumped into Amanda and Brent who made fun of me for shopping out of my own free will.

Been on repeat these last couple weeks. Easily one of my favourite couples on YouTube. They were meh about one another until he fell in love with her voice. After a while of courtship (bahaha courtship) they are now married. Love the glances they give each other when they sing. Stinkin’ cute.

After all this time memories won’t fade.
And your voice hasn’t left me.
It’s the fuel that keeps my heart from lifting,
But things can always change.
And your next move will choose which way I go.
And losing you would shake all that I know.
… I don’t feel I’m asking for too much.

Just a word from you would be enough.
And while you decide what you feel is right,
I’m saving all the air that I have left.
While you decide about you and I
… I’ll sit here and just hold my breath.

September Is Here …

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness and PCOS Awareness Months

(via|via)

It’s Childhood Cancer and PCOS Awareness Month! I would get asked why I care about things like this and my answer is that we never know if or when it’ll affect us or our loved ones. So spread awareness and help when you can. (:

Sit Like A Lady - Cat

I hate crowds, especially sales people coming up to me every few minutes, so I shop online. A lot of dresses made it to my front door and as I try them on I realize I keep buying ones with easy access. I understand all dresses are easy access … but these have flaps. Crossed over in the front. So if you were to lift one of the flaps, it’ll expose me for …. easier access. Awesome! Then there are some that just wouldn’t fit my chest area. Sigh. I hate shopping.

I watch crap like this. For them to still be friends is pretty awesome. For their future significant others to be okay with it would take a lot of trust but … it’s possible. If I had the chance to do this with an ex, I wonder what I would ask. haha See Part II here.
