The First Of a New Blog

Where to start?

I decided to start a new one, because I did not like how the old one looked. And also because I was bored and decided i needed a new change. =)

I was thinking for my first post, I'll start it a little bit more personal.

I think its a very wonderful thing to have the sense of smell to remember things by. I'm sure I'm not the only one who recalls people, incidents or things by associating smells with them. I remember a class I went for and how the lecturer was telling us that our brain unconscious register certain smells to a certain things or persons in our life.
For example, someone who stole your boy/girl from you. now think of the scent they wear and everytime u smell that scent, you'll think of the person and the things they did to you.

So, I'll write about my 5 fave smells in the whole world. =)

1) My first fave smell is when you come home from work, you open the door and you are greeted by the smell of something very familiar and close to you heart - Home. I don't know about anyone, but I love the smell of Home, esp when you've been out the whole day and you're really tired. Its very weird but when I'm anxious, stressed or scared once I smell something of home (usually a small hand towel, extra clothes i bring for change later etc), I'll feel more calm.

I like to believe that everyone has a unique smell of thier very own Home on them. And everyone has a different 'Home' smell. I've noticed this when I go over to friend's place and each and everyone of them all have very distinct Home smells.

2) Have you ever walked through a park or a field after a heavy downpour of rain? I like to do that because the temperature feels cooler and everything smells like it has been cleansed. The smells of wet grass and soil is so comforting, esp when you're on your way home from a stressful day at work. It makes me feel really relaxed and makes me believe that the Mother Nature has a lot more of these types of subtle beauties hidden up her sleeves. One only needs a discerning nose to discover it and experience it your own special way.

3) The smell of my Babyee. Everytime I smell the cologne he uses, it always jolt good memories of us when we're together. All the laughter and love we have for each other and missing each other's touch. It will always plant a huge goofy grin on my face and everything just feels so fine. =)


4) I like the smell of pastry being baked in the oven. I just have this warm fuzzy feeling whenever I bake something at home or when I walk past a bakery. Its weird because I'm not a huge fan of eating pastry, but I just love the smell of it. It actually inspires me to do some baking on my own. Lol.. =)

5) Last but not least, I like the smell of clean fresh air. Be it in the mountains, or when I'm at the beach and the sea breeze pass me by. Maybe because we don't get to notice these things in our daily lives, we should pamper ourselves a bit more. Who will love ourselves if we don't do the occasional loving for ourselves (and i do not mean that type of 'self-loving'). Take a day off work to go to the beach, or the weekend off to rent a cabin up in the mountains, with your loved ones and enjoy the little little things in life.
