Love

Delila

Think in the morning & Sleep in the night.

Morning & night are my favourite’s time. That means a lot of pyjama times. I love to see my wake up sleepy face. It’s when I could see my personality, my natural beauty & my true colour. I like happy morning & happy mood when I go to sleep.  Magazines & books never fail to accompany me during this time.

Love

Delila

Ohh gowdd, It's Morning!

Sleeping late, waking up early, obviously I need some pick-me-ups in the morning. A nice cup of coffee in the morning to pick me up. 

My obssession of coffee here & here

Raya in Style with Delila Designs

I never wake up early during Raya morning. The latest I’ll wake up is around 8.30 with mum’s background voice volume 5.*thanks for that* So as usual I’ll take my own sweet  time to get ready in Raya outfits no matter how late I am.  To me there’s nothing to rush. Oh come on darling, it’s Raya so it means celebration!! :-)

There is No Themes colour in our family. ‘DRESS AS U LIKE’.

Remember Coco Chanel did say ‘in order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.’ So we follow what she said.He he he...as if. 

The Forgiveness Session

The young will ask forgiveness to the eldest.

Basically this is what I will said almost every year

'Selamat Hari Raya! I'm sorry for all my wrong doing towards you. I love you soooo sooo much!'

*plus it need to come with sad face too :-(*

&

 Trust me every year all of them will reply

 ‘Oh yee, you did this that to me & the list will go on...’

 *Oh my goodness! I always surprise how they can remember every single things that I had done to them*

To make them forgot all my wrong doing I'll give those lots of kisses & big bear hugs. 

* ha ha ha! That’s the tricks guys, learn from the expert!*

with my beloved papa bear

with my old beloved man, grandpa bear!

with my sibling in crime younger brother bear.

Yes i'm not the only child..I have a brother! 

And the Fun part is the Raya's Ang Pow session!

Hooray I got a Raya Ang Pow! 

Can you see my big jolly smiling  here...Oh i'm loving it..!

Love is Wisdom Of The Heart

#Delila Happiness Project 2012 (14)

For me Love is passion. I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. Life is too short not to love people. Only love stops hate. Only by love it creates happiness in you. But first, you need to love yourself. If you do not learn to love yourself you will never have the capability to love others. You need to know to love yourself, so you know what hurts and what not. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Same goes to love. Love people like the way you want to be loved. To me love comes with appreciating, understanding, being caring, respecting the other person & accepting her/his weakness & strongest.

Always love yourself respectfully no matter what. Cos I believe this is the only way to learn to love others & to make people love you the way you are. Stand up for yourself,  you deserve respect & beautiful things in life no matter who you think you are. Do what you feel in your heart to be right. I learned that no matter what you do, people will still criticized you anyway. You’ll be damned if you do & damned if you don’t. So just do what you want with a good intention & fill your life with love.

Cook with love. Smile with love.  Do your job with love.

Speak with love. Do all things with love.

Like I said love is passion. 

So may you find the love that you searching for...

*oh gosh, i'm turning to become lovey duvey...okay please bare with me this time... :-p*

Wrap Me Beautifully

#Delila Happiness Project 2012 (9)

I always get excited and happy when I open a beautifully wrapped gift. I can definitely guarantee there will be a big smile on my face and I might happily jump like a kid because of my excitement! :) I love when people show an effort to do something. For me a gift wrapped in beautiful way shows the effort done by the person. The time, the thought, the love, the honesty & the care to me is priceless.  Everyone can spend money on gifts for others. But not everyone can put an effort and thought for others unless if you are special. I feel special whenever I get a present that been wrap nicely. 

I have wrapped beautifully a gift for a friend. I have made a French beaded wire flowers to decorate the gift. It is my first trial and it takes a bit good amount of few hours to do these. But it is worth it. Show some love by shopping at Delila Designs Custom Gift Box

Food For Thought

#Delila's Happiness Project 2012 (8)

Never knew I had this kind of expression when I see food. Excuse of my sleeping eyes. I swear, i'm not sleeping while eating. It's my Chinese Asian (sepet) eyes that make me look like that.

Time After Time

#Delila's Happiness Project 2012 (7)

some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.

some say love it is a hunger
an endless, aching need
i say love it is a flower,
and you it’s only seed.

it’s the heart afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance

it’s the dream afraid of waking

that never takes the chance

it’s the one who won’t be taken,

who cannot seem to give

and the soul afraid of dying

that never learns to live.

and the night has been too lonely

and the road has been too long.

and you think that love is only

for the lucky and the strong.

just remember in the winter

far beneath the bitter snow

lies the seed that with the sun’s love,

in the spring, becomes a rose.

the rose

[bette midler]

20 Things I Learned in The Process of Growing Up.

#Delila's Happiness Project 2012 (6)

Spending time with the right people. I learnt that I need people that stand by my side when I am at my best & the ones who stand beside me when I’m at my worst.

Solve your problems. Try to face them. I learnt that it won’t be easy. I get upset, hurt and depressed to face problems. But I realised through the journey  it actually help me to become a better person.

Put on your own needs first.  Yes, help others, but help yourself too. I learnt that in life we need to be balance.

Be yourself. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you.  I learnt that don’t change just to make people like you.  Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

Move on. You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.

Just Do It. Doing something and getting it wrong is more productive than just sitting around, wondering & doing nothing.  I learnt that I will end up regretting the things I did not do far more than the things I did.

Never blame yourself.  We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. I learnt that every single thing that has ever happened in my life is actually preparing me for a moment to come.

Find happiness. The things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.

Be happy being you.  You have to be comfortable in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.

Getting involved in relationships & taking time to enjoy it.  There’s no need to rush.  I learnt that if something is meant to be, it will happen. In the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason.

Stop trying to compete against everyone else. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only. When others making success, take this as motivation for you.

Understand things .You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. I learnt that those negative things that thrown at you in the past eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. 

 Enjoy the little things. One day you may look back and discover they were the big things.  I learnt that the best moment in my life will be the small & nameless moments. It’s true when they say “good things come in small packages”.

Stop trying to make things perfect. The real world doesn't do perfectionists. I learnt that i just have to do as best as I can in everything.

Follow your heart. Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile.  I learnt that don’t take the easy way out. Do something  that I love & want.

We are human. It’s okay to fall apart for a little while.  You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well.  I learnt that cry if I need to, it’s good for my soul and the sooner I do, the sooner I will be able to breathe, think straight & smile again.

Stop blaming others for your troubles.  When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility.

Be positive. I learnt that wake up every morning with a thought that something wonderful will happen in my life today, pay close attention to the thought and at the end of the day I’ll often find that I am right.

Be grateful.  Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing. So wakes up each day thankful for your life.

Smile!  Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.

So how about you lovelies, what did u learn in the process of growing up? I would love to know.

Love

Delila

Arabian Land

#Delila Happiness Project 2012 (5)

There’s nothing I love more than exploring new countries, meeting new people & learning new culture.

When I was  in Arab Saudi, women have, needed or must wear hijab (especially in Jeddah, Makah & Medina).  So few pictures below you could see the style of me wearing hijab .

I got to say it was a nice experience wearing them. There was a time when i was there I forgot to wear, just because i'm not used to it. The best thing when I wore the hijab, it was like a care free day where I don't have to think about my hair look when the wind blow or the hustle to comb my hair, washing it every day & blow dry it. But being me, I also enjoy not wearing them. 

Love 

Delila

I wore JapangKimono Baju Kurung, Delila Petite Collection.

Quote Of The day!

#Delila Happiness Project 2012 (3)

The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.

It's a Pet's World

#Delila's Happiness Project 2012 (1)


Should I start making a campaign to everyone how nice to have a cat.

‘Cats are the best, they never cry.

 'Here hold My cat's Coco! Here play with her.'

'Oh my god, you look so happy with a cat.'

'Oh my! I can see coco like you!'

Oh dear someone please save me! I guess i'm crazy obsess with a cat name Coco.

Welcoming June with Delila’s Happiness Project 2012

Delila Happiness Project 2011

The intention behind this project is to reach myself as an individual to make a different by creating moments of positive self realization. I started this project in 2011 (in my previous blog which i deleted) after has been inspired by Henzel with her Happiness Project in Philippines. Like the way she inspire me, I like to inspire others to do the same.

The more I grow up and become an adult, the more I realize because of our desire, dream and surrounding. Unconsciously we have created the feeling of stress, hate, jealousy and selfishness in ourselves. Till we forget that at the end of the day happiness is what we want.

Happiness is what we actually searching for.

 Happiness is what we actually looking for.

Happiness!

YOU fight for it, 

YOU strive for it, 

YOU want it, 

YOU need it, 

&

 sometimes YOU even travel looking for it.

I have learned that happiness is actually come within our heart, mind, soul and body. When your heart is full of love, eventually you will feel happy. When your mind is in the positive thinking, you feel the happiness. When there is a sense of care toward others in your soul, you feel happy. When you smile, it shows happiness. When you accept the way you look, you feel beautiful that create a sense of happiness in you.

The world can be tough. 

Life is never perfect. 

Beloved people will never stay forever.

 But no matter what happen, just find your own reason to smile and be happy.

Trust me the simple act of smiling will keep you burning like a candle in the wind.

JUST SMILE!
