Just another day... where little things in life brings me so much happiness!

-reposted-


You know the little things in life that make your life just that much better? I am here to tell you my story with the little things that has recently made my life a lot more relaxing.
It is this Pello Chair.
I first came in contact with this species of Chairs at my sister's in Montreal, like anything that's new to you, it scared me a little bit, I thought it was going to break as soon as I sat on it. it took me a while to get used to it. With its little rocking method, this chair was able to capture my heart. it became my chair till it was time to leave Montreal a week later.
I fantasized about that chair quite a lot, I imagined the both of us in a room together, for hours, with no distractions.. I imagined the both of us in the backyard, rocking to the same beat... With its attractive looks and feel, I was able to convince the Mama that the Pello Chair and I are destined to be together, and so it was.
One day I was sitting in the living room watching TV. My mom walks in with a big box. All I could think was "could this be true?.. could this be happening?" seriously people, was I really that much closer to my lovely Pello?
I gave the chair a lot of love. And it all came together. Now, tired or not, happy or not, the chair is always there for me, to literally rock my world and take away the stress and negativity one rock at a time.. I <3 My Pello.. Its the little thing that made my room a better place to live in.. 

What's your pello??

Just another day with just another stranger!

I stopped by the café near my work this morning to grab a bagel and coffee for breakfast but I wasn’t carrying cash. I made an order and soon after I realized that I should check whether or not they take debit.

The lady behind the counter said that they’d only take debit if it was above $ 5. I knew what I ordered wouldn’t come to $5 so I asked her for what my total would be if I added another coffee.  The answer was $4.50. I looked at the display, wondering what else I can get in order to reach their target, when I heard a lady behind me asking “did you only want the bagel and coffee?” and I said yes! She was like “ don’t worry about it then, I got it, I need to order lots of stuff so a bagel and a coffee won’t make a difference!”

I attempted, and I attempted really hard to get her to understand that she did not have to do that. But she insisted. She was a complete stranger! And she made my day!

I don’t understand why we’ve always been taught to fear from strangers, when most of the ones I’ve encountered have been really nice

Thank you lady at the café place! I’ll make sure I pass your kindness on!

Just another day... that I’m impressed with people!

Running a child care center can get pretty hectic sometimes and today was specifically tiring.

I am not sure how I got involved in this conversation, but yesterday, I found myself talking to my two co-workers and a child in grade 2 about red-velvet cupcakes, which are the specialties of a dessert shop nearby.

 

When the child’s mother came to pick her up, we asked her for directions to this little dessert shop. With a big smile on her face, she gave us the exact directions. The two coworkers and I decided that Friday (tomorrow) would be the day to go, right after our afternoon shift and before hitting the gym.

Today, I got to work a little late, and I had to step away for a moment because I was having a conversation with one of the parents. When I walked in, I was tired and stressed. My co worker came up to me and said she has something to cheer me up.

Jumping at the chance to feel good, I asked what it was. She said that the child’s mother we were talking to yesterday has brought in a gift card for 12 cupcakes from that dessert place :)

It made my day and cheered me up when my day felt like it was never going to end. I was impressed! I was happy that someone would go out of their way to do something that –even though small- is selfless and for no other reason but to make others happy!

I asked my co-worker to hold on to the gift card till we go. I just hope she doesn’t cash it out and take all my cupcakes. :)

Just another day... that I can't seem to decide what I want!

Since I moved back to live with the family in Oakville, I have been trying to perfect this living space I have. I want to re-create the apartment I had for the last couple of years in downtown Toronto.

My Dolce Gusto machine, which makes the best macchiatos and cappuccinos, have made me feel a little more at home. Recently, I've been finding myself trying to make everything look as neat as possible and as practical as possible.

Using some of my creative ideas, I managed to -finally- display my accessories such as necklaces and bracelets in a way that makes them both look nice and easily reachable!

But something is still missing...

Few days later, carpet was washed, curtain rod installed, closet lights fixed, bed seheets changed, clothes arranges, drawers organized, junk thrown out, unused items donated, and room perfectly cleaned.. 

but something is still missing... now what?
