What to eat?

IT'S OUT!

hehehehhe!! malu pun ada after watching this video.

it was COMPLETELY SPONTANEOUS, because i didn't think i would do something like this.

so yeah.

ingat senang ke nak belakon sorang sorang spontaneously?

hmph!

editting, shooting, and everything la was done by 1tube.my crew!

i hope you all enjoy it! and support 1tube.my =D

oh ya!

hehe!

Stay tuned!

so i'm back from Putrajaya where i met 1tube.my crew which includes Mr Big Ben Ashaari himself!

then apa kena mengena i ngan 1tube ni?

ok here are a few hints on what you can expect from the video.

1. saya, Maria Elena, berjaya buat Ben Ashaari confused
2. saya, Maria Elena, berjaya buat Ben Ashaari gelak
3. saya, Maria Elena, berjaya buat Ben Ashaari malu
4. saya, Maria Elena, berjaya buat Ben Ashaari menangis
5. saya, Maria Elena, tipu pasal number 4.

see you soon! 

ps: 1st time blog cepat2. biasanya bila cite dah basi baru nak post kan. muahahaha! Abe Ben's influence la ni. =p

The Answer!

firstly i want to thank all of those who answered honestly and shared their views of my last post.

what was it again?

yes, ze white or ze black, which did you zee firzt.

if you saw white first, that means

you see a new person as a blank page where they are as white as the paper.

you see the goodness of a person rather than looking for the opposite.

that's good! but when you see that black dot, which represents a bad side of a person, what would you do?

if you saw the black dot first, that means

you look for the bad side of a person first.

you're not open when meeting new people because you are careful.

that's good too! means you analyse before you trust!

but now that you see the bad side of a person, would you try to learn the good side of them?

that's why i said there's no right or wrong answer.

you can't help seeing what you saw first. takkan you macam "hmmm. i rasa nak nampak black dot first." that doesn't make sense!

but here is where you are able to choose.

let's say you're best friends with A, and he/she did 1 mistake, would you still love him/her the way you used to?

let's say you just met A, and you saw him/her at their worst time. would you want to try and learn about him/her?

what would you do?
the real question is not what you saw first, but how you react to it.

i too saw the black dot first. but im not the kind that doesn't like a person immediately.

when i see the 'ugly truth' of a person, then i know where not to thread when im with them. 

so that's all i want to share really. i'm no psychiatrist, so i can't really explain into detail about this. i did this pun so that we probably can learn something about ourselves. even if it's just a small insignificant thing.

nobody's perfect, and mistakes are probably our 2nd best friend.

if you're open enough to accept other's mistakes, then when you make a mistake, insyallah orang pun can still accept you.

=)

tu jeeeee!!

hehe!

which colour do you see?

Salam.

take a second and look at the picture below, 

and tell me which colour do you see FIRST.

white or black?

there is no right or wrong answer.

but there is a reason for the question and hopefully something we discover about ourselves from the psychology of this 'exercise'.

don't worry, it's only for fun! and i assure you it's harmless.

promise!

=D

next week, i'll tell you what it means, ok! 

Thank youuuuuu!! 

ada gaya tak?

today i camwhored like crazy (as if i've never camwhored before la kan.. myehehe!!) and i want to ask you GIRLS (kerana guys don't wear shawls, so what do they know?) if i ada gaya tak?

heheehee!!

Ayun nampak gila hot. I look like i was trying to cover up a bruise. ugh.

Mass looks more ayu. I look tak ayu langsung!

we're actually looking at a sign saying "We're awesome", that's why =p

but Yana looks more Datin-ish than me. I just look like "heeyyy girpreennnn". know what i mean? hehe!!

Ami rocked specky + shawl look like crayzeyh! my pouty look memang mengundang penampar.

tampar la! tapi i elak. muahahah!

Mira looked stunning! i think kan, i think la.. i think our nose is like the same species. 

besar. 

tapi cool.

wahahhahahahhaa!!

conclusion:

memang i takde gaya macam they all.

well duhhhh, because i have my own gaya. 

hehee! 

here's how I would gayakan all the shawls! 

click on the pictures to go to their respective blogshops! 

=D

also 

MAYSAA.COM for the black inner =)

i personally am into shawls that are simple, not see through, not licin, have big widths so that it covers the chest area and not too hot for our weather.

so i hope you girls out there choose the shawls wisely!

when you wear your shawls or tudung bawals or whatever, remember that the sole purpose of wearing a hijab is to cover our aurats. we may not be perfect at it, but let's just try our best and learn as we grow.

=D

peace.

ps: i was wearing an oversized shirt which i really really love. haha! sorry kalau nampak bacin sangat =p

Word of the Day: Considerate

so a few days ago, i was reminiscing on my internship days which was what.. 2 years ago? omg. rinduuuu!!!

ok anywayyyssss,

i did my internship in KL.

so everyday, i'd park my car at Kelana Jaya LRT station, hop on the train till KLCC, and then walk about 1000miles so i can see you, tonite (ting ting ting ting ting bunyi piano lagu 1000miles by whatsernameiforgot).

in the lrt, i hardly ever got to sit down because it's always full and when there's a vacant seat, i usually just leave them be.

let them old and more in need of the seat sit.

but then, many many times, i saw people younger than me, sanggup berebut for a seat.

zaman noob i dulu, i too sibuk nak berebut seat. doesnt matter where la. in the lrt ke, bus ke, anywhere where there're seats, i wanna sit. that was when i was not reminded to be thoughtful of others. 

but as i grew up, i realised that i am young. i am able. i am fortunate to have strong limbs.

so i have absolutely no excuse to say that i'm more tired than everybody else, or i deserve to sit or whatever.

so that's how i came about this video.

as a reminder to you youngsters, which doesnt necessarily means budak sekolah sahaja. you feel young? then you're a youngster.

be kind to others, be thoughtful, be considerate. 

IN PUBLIC PLACES!

i think later later i'll make a video of being considerate in a different scenario. heeeee! =D

ps: if these people whom you've helped didnt show any signs of appreciation, then biarlah! why should you be bothered?

you wanna help kan? 

should be ikhlas isn't it? so whether or not these people acknowledge it, don't worry. Insyallah Allah SWT does.

=)

peace.

pps: OH, thank you to all you Singaporeans who told me, shea and yanny about ILovePastelina.com being featured in Berita Harian Singapore! check it out at Shea's blog HERE! saya selaku self-proclaimed duta pastelina ingin mengucapkan CONGRATS to my bebehs! =D hehe!

when Dato' meets Peliks

Dato' and i hardly see each other now that we're both working and in different states.

although our states is next to each other, but hey, the fact is, we're both working means we're always tired after work. 

but once in a while, we do meet up for dinner or just jalan-jalan.

last time i saw him, i was having my menses.

so yeahhhh. i was feeling quite insecure about myself. but then he, being a Dato' kan, tak reti nak make me feel awesome pun! cis cis!

1. me: aiseh, i rasa i buruk laa..

    Dato': sebab i handsome sangat kan?

2. me: i rasa cam peha i besar..

    Dato': sebab i kurus kan?

3. me: datuks, ok tak? (referring to my tudung yang gila out-of-place)

    Dato': okay je. (without looking at me pun)

haih.. sabar je la. he is one of those yang bila malas nak layan, memang malas nak layan. 

despite all that 'malas-nak-layan', for him to be able to tolerate me at times i lose my temper, when i fall asleep while talking to him and then suddenly say the most random thing, for him to come all the way across the state to see me even for a short while, for him to listen and support me, and a lot of other things, makes him the best Dato' i've ever had. =B

moral of the story?

menses sucks.

=p

peace.

sorry ter-cheesy.

Peliks
