My name is Shana & I've permanently moved to Seattle almost 3 weeks ago. This is an old blog that was sitting around collecting dust on the internet & here I am reviving it once more. One of my friends in Malaysia suggested I do this to basically journal my life here. I hesitated for the longest time & today I thought "Why the heck not, right?". I've removed a few things from here that were no longer necessary, but I have yet to update how it looks. Please be patient.
My days & weeks before coming here were nothing special, but it was the ordinary that were the most extraordinary to me. I spent time with friends, catching up with those I haven't seen in a long time & those I see a lot. I'll never forget all the things we did & even if I do, I'll always remember the feeling. A few days leading up to my departure was rather entertaining, but that's for me to know & for you to find out. However, it has taught me the people I've lost were never a loss in the first place. The universe has a way of showing you the true colours of those you once befriended & you know what? It's no big deal. When it happens, laugh about it, shrug it off & keep moving forward.
I haven't been here for very long, but I've already made friends whom I'm very grateful for. I don't know what's in store for us & our friendship, but trials & tribulations. I have my regrets, but everyone you meet teaches you a lesson. Whether they stay or leave, that's not for you to worry about. If it's the prior, you know you've found true friends. If it's the latter, it's the end of their chapter in your life & them leaving only means they are not meant to be a part of your future. Thank them (they don't have to know) & move along. I came here to find a job & so far, I haven't found anything, but that's okay. I just have to stay optimistic about it & keep applying. Nothing in life ever comes easy. Just set the intention, don't worry about how & work hard towards it.
If you haven't already guessed, I just came back from watching the movie. Everyone has their preferences & are entitled to their opinions, but I thought it was absolutely amazing. I personally love Asa Butterfield because he's cute, the story was rather interesting & I love the soundtrack. However, what blew my mind this year, other than the drama, was Ed Sheeran's comeback & La La Land. Everything about that film was orgasmic. Yes, I'm using that word. What I saw, heard & felt were overall exciting & vibrant. The one-takes, the characters, their wardrobe, the flow of the storyline, the music & how everything just blended together so well! It's no wonder they won all the 14 awards they were nominated for & I am not at all surprised because they deserve it.
I have to admit, I've been a little upset over an incredibly small matter, but that's okay. I just have to keep myself occupied & no longer let it have power over me. Have a great day, Malaysians. It's evening on my side & I have yet to have dinner, so this is me, the Californian-born Scorpion in Seattle, signing off.
