salamat po!

will be in Philippines until 2nd of February.

free;

I am on a semester break right now. Final examination killed me. I am just glad I survived. Another semester to endure before I end my Bachelor in Legal Studies.

Oh yeah, I'm going to Philippines for a 5 days vacation on 29th January. The only thing that excites me as a vintage lover is ukay-ukay. 

Ukay-ukay means 'to dig,' because folks would dig into a pile of clothes for that hidden gem of a find!

Thrifting, you'll never know what you could find.

Things that I've found at thrift shops before? Pretty and cheap vintage blazers and jackets, Ralph Lauren sweaters, Liz Claiborne blouse, ah, too many to list. 

I am a firm believer that you don't need new expensive clothes to be fashionable. 

puihh!

"Biar celik jangan buta semata, memberatkankan apa yang patut diambil tahu, berpada-pada apa yang ada di dada dan tidak pula mendada, kerana mahasiswa adalah sebahagian daripada masyarakat, bukannya golongan terkecuali. Kalau setakat belajar semata-mata mengejar GPA, tak perlu nak celik mata pada situasi politik dan sosial, dah sama taraf dengan anak murid sekolah rendah. Maka, saya usulkan supaya perkataan mahasiswa digantikan dengan anak murid sekolah rendah. Bye."

run, it is now or never

“If I’m free, it’s because I’m always running.”
  - Jimi Hendrix

Hi. I've been abandoning this blog for ages as I rant much often on Twitter. You can reach me there by the tweet-handle of @benazirjb.

Let's talk about running, shall we? I don't run everyday because law school has totally conquer my life, but whenever I get the chance, I will run for at least 10-15 minutes.

I run to stay in shape and for emotion and tension release. If you want to lose some weight, I suggest that you should start running today as it is the best cardio exercise to blast serious calories in your body.

Think of this, I can walk, so I can run. It is all about our mindset, if you set your mind that you can't run, then you can't run.

Of course it is hard to start running, but it is either today, or never. 

For beginners, start slowly with a walk. After a few days of walking, then you should start with a combination of walk and run.

Take it slow, step by step.

And yes, before I forgot, do not run everyday if you have just started running! Give your muscles and tendons a chance to adapt to running.

Remember, if you can't run, walk, do not give up and take it slow.

Good luck.

bersuara bertindak

mengadap secawan kopi yg tidak berasap tetapi cukup panasnya
mata dilirik setiap sudut..terlihat bermacam ragam manusia warung kopi..
yang separuh umur leka mengadap papan dam
bingkas bersuara si pemuda...
menyatakan resah dengan segala soal keperluan
yang perlu mengunakan wang yang banyak
mencelah pebancuh kopi sokong menambah
anak-anak mahu dijamin masa depan dengan ilmu
tapi peritnya wang
ya wang yang perlu diterbangkan
"pemimpin kita perlu ditukar,yang berkuasa ini perlu diturunkan"
lagak laung si muda laksana ayam jantan
si tua yang sekian lamanya tidak bersuara...
meletak cawan kopi o yang pekat
melihat si muda dan bersuara...
"teguhkan pendirian,jalankan tugas mu pada waktunya"
si tua kembali mencapai cawan kopi
"sudah kau lakukan tugas pada usia mu kini?"
"tergolong sudah dalam mereka yang akan memilih?"
si muda terdiam..."masih belum berdaftar"
si tua tersenyum sinis menghirup kopi o pekat kembali
si muda tidak lagi betah berkata
si tua berlalu meninggalkan kepingan-kepingan syiling dimeja
berlalu dengan langkah lemah dan berpesan
"bersuara dan bertindak anak muda"
"siapa saja yang kau pilih,mereka yang mana kau mahu"
"bersuara dan bertindak "
"bersuara dan bertindak semua"

and the invasion begins,

 

The biggest book sale in the world has begun! On Wednesday, Family Law tutorial was called off thus Reina and I went on a trip to Big Bad Wolf Sale at MAEPS Serdang. It was massive!

 We brought along a luggage and trust me, you will really need it! 

Some people were carrying around boxes filled with books.. 

I was pretty sure their hands were sore after that

 RM12 each. Didn't buy them because I didn't bring enough cash T.T

 A luggage full of books!

RM96 for 11 books. Good bargain ey?

Here are some tips if you're planning to go to Big Bad Wolf:

1) bring enough cash if you're a hardcore book lover

2) bring a luggage, or more

3) Don't make a scene at the payment counter by making sure you choose the books that you really want to buy before going to the payment counter!

4) If you really don't know where the venue is, bring a friend who does. Don't be like Reina and I, but thanks to GPS, we managed to reach Big Bad Wolf and went home like pro(s)!
