Weekend well spent @Beringgis Beach Resort

It's been a while since the last time I post something on my blog.
I don't really have time for myself actually recently. Too busy devoting myself for other people and other things. haha.

So last week, I mean on 14/15/16 March 2015, I have been spending my leisure time at Beringgis Beach Resort in which located at Papar, Sabah. Thank you so much to my beloved occasional sponsor-er for this. <3  

So we went there during the weekend, at the same time, there's another event held, which was the golf tournament.

The Garden
The room in which we stay
I wake up to this-the view from the balcony.

I was so impressed with the overall designs and comforts. However, I have to admit that it was a little bit creepy during the night time. Especially when there was a huge tree in front of the room. I always imagining somebody was hanging there, looking at us, So creepy, Lol

I have been spending my Sunday morning almost alone in this place. The cafe @Cabana cafe was a bit afar from my room and I have to go for a long walk to go there, The foods were nice and the staffs were so friendly. :D

What I bought from the bar during the happy hour. hihihi



Due to my ultimate loneliness, I decided to spend my time at the spa. I pay about RM 158 for their signature whole body massage and foot massage. I don't really mind spending long hours at the place since I am actually a spa lover. I love to get massage since I always working more than 12 hours 6 days per week. You might understand the tension of working too long. I always love to pamper myself because I concern about my health. Occasional body and foot massage will help me to have better blood circulation. Not forgot to mention, I also have fortnights routine to visit my favorite woman( she was not at Beringgis fyi. haha), who will conduct facial+sauna for me in which she will charge me with reasonable price. Salute to  her!

I need to take bath here before get massage

Done! inside the massage room.

By the end of the day, I get out of my room since 4.30pm because I am hungry and I was planning to watch the sunset at the beach. I was so impressed with the idea " I have a dream to watch the sunset with you, before I die".

Too shiny

Hahaha

I never felt ashamed to take selfies in the public. :D

The sun start to hide itself at 6pm. And the scenery turn out to be very mind blowing. The saddest moment when I looked around me, many couples were there. Holding hand and might be they were promising something good with their partner while making the beautiful sunset as their witness.

I am the only one who sitting there alone while thinking, "someone that I love should be sitting there besides me instead of my bag and my shades." Nevermind then, life goes on.

And then, time passing by so fast. I hate the fact that every good things ended by so fast. That was what always happened to me. So sad. Nothing good last forever. But life goes on, either I am ready or not.

So I hope, I will visit another interesting place again soon.
I started to count every blessings that I have.
Thanks God.

The myths of Purity

“For women especially, virginity has become the easy answer- the morality quick fix. You can be vapid, stupid, and unethical, but so long as you've never had sex, you're a "good" (i.e. "moral) girl and therefore worthy of praise.” ― Jessica Valenti

“While boys are taught that the things that make them men--good men--are universally accepted ethical ideals, women are led to believe that our moral compass lies somewhere between our legs. Literally.” 
― Jessica Valenti

I have been thinking about this since I don't know when, but I'm sure that was when my brain started to function correctly.

I called it double standard. In which, people made funny meme, telling the world that when a guy fucked with many girls, that doesn't make him a slut but a 'master-key' who can opened as many keys(women) that he loves. But when it comes to women sleeping with many guys, she was officially a slut. A bitch. A hooker. Whatever you may call her.

I still remember a few months back, when I had the chance to hang out with a friend from Vietnam, who spent his life mostly living in USA. I can say that I am actually like  the way he explaining things and his perception about things. I still remember the times he asked me if I already have boyfriend or not. And then he asked me if I was a virgin or not, because he said, I have a great figure in which, usually owned by woman who's having great sex life.

"I am 24 years old and I never slept with anybody. I am not a bad girl," I told him. And then he looked at me astonished. "Do you said, having sex is bad? making you a bad girl?"

That was the day I started to open my mind for things I never wanted to accept. I was raised within a culture in which, teaching me that as a woman, we shall be 'pure' till the day of our marriage. That was the biggest sin to lose virginity If I am not marry yet. I will be worthless and lost my dignity. I will be labelled as a Bitch, and my parent will never be proud of me. Nobody will marry me if I am not a virgin anymore. That's it. These advices haunting us for years.

I used to ask my parent, "Why man don't want to marry me if I am no longer pure?" then they replied," Because having sex before marriage is a sin and only slut doing that. You are not a slut," "How if I get marry with someone who already not pure? I am marrying a man-slut then?" Unfortunately, the term and condition was only applicable to women. Not men.

That was the day I understand that, I can be clever, pretty, asshole, dumb and so on, as long as I am still a virgin, I can be proud of myself. Women's morality will be judged based on the word "virgin or not". I can say that I am a bit disagree with it, but what can I do?

The easiest way to make myself less valuable is to have sex. Don't mind about my past achievements. My greatest things that I already did for others. As long I am not a virgin before getting marry, I am no longer valuable. Easy as that.

"You will never be happy in your life, If you commit sex before marriage" that was the ultimate curse I ever heard. Whatever then.
I thought God will forgive people's sin.
What is the purpose of praying and asking for a good life when in the end, sex will make your whole life miserable.

I thought that going to garage won't make you a car, Going to church won't make you a saint. And having sex won't make you a slut.

The Day I started to realize, I am beyond Imperfect.

The good old days. I want my old figure back
Recently, I had spent most of my time wishing I was someone else. I am not really sure what had happened to me, but I keep on feeling that I am beyond imperfect.

I became so pessimistic. I don't want to see the good things that I have. I keep on searching my weaknesses and feel sorry about it.

I started to blame myself for not taking care of myself.  I keep on thinking I am supposed to be better than this.

I hate looking at the mirror recently. I was like, I don't feel like I had doing something better for myself. I hate my face. I hate my hair. I hate my body. I hate myself.

Maybe I am just too emotional. I hate to accept the fact that I am actually nothing but why I behave like I was something. I blame myself for making people liking me, falling in love with me and most of all, I blame myself for letting the good guy to love me.

I am beyond imperfect. I don't have something to be proud of. I am too ordinary to be special. I am so pessimistic. I am the example of worthless.

You have wasting your time trying to love me.
When I don't even try to love myself.
