I successfully wasted half of my day, even though I promised myself I won't. But in my defence it was because I was exhausted from the flight – JET LAG, duh...
      *sigh* Okay so, the real reason was because I am scared to go out, new people, new place. I don't exactly feel extroverted enough to go out yet. I know, I know that's not exactly a reasonable reason but that's the only reason I have got.

However, my aunt wasn't having me sit and rot in the house, so she suggested we go around the place, explore a little, you know get accustomed to the area so that when I go out alone, I don't get lost.

She said "You'll get bored sitting around the whole day, so try making new friends around here and go out with them. You'll love them. People here are pretty friendly." AS IF I would step out without her. I love the confidence she has in me *smile in pain*.

After giving myself the boost that I came here to explore and I shouldn't be wasting anymore time than I already have -
       I got dressed in a white vest crop top and a black floral print skirt that has a slit that reaches my mid thigh. I accessorize the look with a cute pearl earring and a simple gold necklace. I don't feel like wearing shoes today so, I paired it with brown Mary janes. Ending the look with little makeup on my face, I was ready to go out.

I did a once over in my mirror, it does look like I went a little overboard with my outfit, but...oh well if I'm gonna go out there and embarrass myself, then I need to at least look cute.
      I can't be underdressed and embarrassing all at once, that would just be an invitation to disappear from the face of earth.

By the time I reach downstairs, my aunt and my little cousin sister were already ready and were waiting for me. After some final checking, we all left. I'm not sure if my choice of clothing is relevant, considering it's a little windy today.

Guess I'm just gonna freeze today.

After playing around a little bit in the park, we decided to head home. It was starting to get dark  and my cousin was ready to fall asleep anytime now.

On our walk back home, I realized how peaceful everything was...no worry about my college, no assignment completion, like absolutely no worry about anything.
     I'm just here living the most peaceful life, the weather being the cherry on top, I feel like the main character.

My brain never had this break from all the tension and worry, so this sudden break make me wants to cry. But obviously I won't do it, because it would just be so embarrassing.

While I was busy with all these thoughts, I walk past a café.
      It was a soft blue color café, and even the ambiance of this coffee shop seems so comforting.
