Mermaids and Unicorns

My belief in mermaids is so wide that people usually believe that they truly exist as much homo sapiens do whenever I speak about these aquatic creatures.

Mermaids are a myth they say, but I say not. Mer-folk live in the deepest parts of the ocean and only rise above once in 100 years or so, hence we have minuscule proof of their existence. They may be the reason of those sinking ships but that's only because the sailor behind the wheel couldn't believe his eyes. "A human with a fish tail? What?" I'd be freaked too. There was no talk about mer-folk – or as some call them, sirens – singing their way into drowning those sailors, that was just a campfire story to dramatize their existence. These mer-folk are friendly, well I don't meet a wide range of mermaids, but so far my impression of them is quite decent. 

It's not just mermaids though, it's unicorns too. 

Unicorns evolved into what we know them now as horses. They do not poop out rainbows or fart out glitter. They are regular horses with a spiral horn in the middle of their head. Some say these spiral horns were magical and so locals would hunt these unicorns down for the purpose of sawing off those "magical" horns to the point where the majority of these unicorns have lost their horns and magic. Hence, when they began breeding once again, their offspring turned out to be "hornless". 

I'm definitely feeling sporty in my galaxy leggings and "I believe in Mermaids" outfit.

Of course, those short stories of mermaids and unicorns are untrue. Though, less comes to say about my interest in them. Liking them allows me to get intact with the 10 year old me, even if my interest in these creatures started just a few years back...

Getting intact with our childlike-selves is a great stress relief. Going into fantasy-la-la land just for a few moments of the week and enjoying the presence of a teenage mermaid while gossiping about that merman she's into, gives us the permission to just relax for a bit. Nothing else matters right now but that hot merman across the pond petting a unicorn. 

That was a glance into one of my happy places. Do you guys have happy place? 

What's it like? How do they make you feel?

PS. I adore comments to don't feel shy! *sends love*

Weather Talk in Emerald Green

I hope you all enjoyed the Just You features last week, I sure did. It's inspiring to see people dressing like themselves instead of going all out sometimes. 

We went camping a last weekend – or more like BBQ-ing, running around in boots, playing games, and gossiping, with no sleeping under the stars – for my sisters birthday. It was a surprise that we planned a month back and I have to say, it turned out quite well. Everyone seemed to have a good time. 

The weather wasn't as cold as we expected. I brought my flannel, a hoodie, a scarf and a beanie with me to the campsite hoping it would be freezing, but it was relatively cool. Roaming around in my glow in the dark ghost busters tee and green flannel was enough. 

How was everyone's weekend? 

I took these photos with the hopes of getting some clouds to slide into the shot – since it was relatively cloudy today after the rain last night, and the iPhone weather app says that there would be a thunderstorm. The thunderstorm was a lie. LIEEE. I heard no thunder! Darn you weather app, why don't you ever tell me the truth? 

So the weather today was cloudy, windy, cool, but not COLD. Bahrain and her residence are still waiting on the 18 degrees rainy days to swing by for a visit. Nonetheless, the weather is relatively fine and perfect for long walks by the beach – or sidewalk, or park, or around your house. And of course fine enough to go out in just a short sleeve and a scarf.
