☆ FakKit ☆ Part#3

Since I wrote the first post about the easiest and cheapest way to be happier in life {{Fakkit}}, I have been keeping my ears open and discovered lots of funny things I am now going to share with you. I didn't fully watch the video when I uploaded it in the previous post, so I didn't notice the website it was referring to: www.thefuckitway.com >> Awesome!! I had no idea this whole thing existed.
Browsing the website, another amazing thing popped out: the F**k It Retreat in Italy!!
So, as you can see I am not the only one advising this as spiritual therapy :)
In my Economizer opinion, I think I'll apply the Fakkit theory in the comfort of my home or at the nearest beach or wood. For me walking in the nature or engaging in any crafty/creative activity are good ways to get detached from the daily routine. Cheap.

☆ FakKit ☆ the Economizer way to be happy in life - Part#2

I told you I was going to look for info to back up my Fakkit theory.... well this morning a supercool friend of mine {{check his website for lots of funky stuff}} has posted this video on Facebook. When I saw it I thought "It can't be! It says the same sh*t I vomited in my Fakkit post!!". Thus I am not the only one embracing the ☆ FakKit ☆ philosophy, which I am really glad about. Of course now that I am aware of the existence of this discipline I will look for more info and support it as much as I can!!



Happy to support my thoughts, I wish all of you a very happy Sunday ☆

Blue Strings

The sea had big waves
Kitesurfers were riding along the shore flying like birds without home.
Silent steps besides her, walking with a stick in the hand,
plowing the sand leaving behind a wake of strings and curls and shapes.
The noise of a camera shutter, a pose and a smile, laughters.
A forgotten umbrella buried in the sand, pieces of a torned apart flag,
the beginning of a moment that would never end.
Hidden in the dunes, forgotten by the time, rocked by the wind.
Lovers, accompained by the sound of the sea,
tight, intertwined, creating blue strings.

New banner ♥ kawaii !!!

Step by step I will completely change my blog look.. as promised. I have been looking around for templates, but I really don't like any. I noticed the nicest one are on sale which is ok for people that can't design a blog, but I can, I am just too lazy to get around it. So I thought... ok, what is the first thing I can change without too much complication?! The banner. Yes because I have lots of ideas for the background, but I need to work on those, while the banner was easy. I used photoshop brushes from people I will now give credit to, one by one. I know PS quite well, as you can see from the very first posts in this blog (2005 or so) were mostly links to PS tutorials, and web sources. Fact is, because of my RSI I usually don't get to spend much time on graphic as I used to. But here it is, my first kawaii banner. I decided I wanted a kawaii - anime banner because I have been looking at manga cartoons since I am a little child. They shaped the way I think and therefore play a huge role in my non-sense. They are probably even the cause of it... I remember a specific cartoon, named Arale Norimaki where everything talks, even a poo! Yep.. a talking poo. A quite cute one too. Just to make you understand where some non-sense can come from. This said, I love anime, manga, kawaii and whatever cute thing that is produced in Japan.
Back to the banner credits.. {{always credit back the nice people that share their creations and ideas with you}}
♥ super cute piggy from Gray Megumi
♥ kawaii cloud from Mistress Mariko
♥ nice windy dandelions by e.derby
The rest was pretty much made by me.. I should download some cool font, used to have many but then formatted my PC and lost a lot. But so far I like it, and it can be a nice temp-banner, till I figure out the final blog look.
Hope you like it! ☆ Shine On ☆

Bathtubbing

As you may have learned from the previous post, my water boiler broke down, and it took one week to be repaired. As I was getting angry about it, my landlord agreed on letting me use the bathroom of the "penthouse", that of course has a bathtub. Ohhh the bathtub, I was so happy because I could finally took the bath I always wished to take. I don't know about you, but I have a sort of a wishlist of things I'd like to do in my life. There are many things in the wishlist that relate to water and taking baths. Either in a tub or at the sea, lake, river.. let's be honest any natural spring clean water, I'd bath in it. "I wish to bath a lot in my life" I thought when yesterday I finally took the ultimate bathtub experience. Candlelight, to start, soft music and aromatic oil (lavander to be precise). I had never taken a candlelight bath before. It's awesome. As I only had two small candles and it was already night, the water seemed really dark and the pale light reminded me of the moon light. As no artificial light hit the water, I could see the vapours coming up.. I felt like being in a hot spring out in nature. It felt great. What a nice way to handle the missing hot water in my house, I say....
Of course I took another one tonight ;-)

☆ FakKit ☆ the Economizer way to be happy in life

Ok - sorry - but some days I just want to scream it to the world: FAKKIT!!!!

We're too kind with the people that hurt us when we don't ever say it or think it.
We believe, or we've been taught, it's bad and that you should always give your offender the other cheek o_0 ... and that's when I say: Fakkit! Not always!!

To say Fakkit doesn't mean you're swearing at the person, it means you give power to yourself to move on in life without ever thinking about those hurting feelings or the person who causes you those feelings. It means that when you're angry hoping to get something from the anger, instead you realise it's a waste of energies. To do so, just remind yourself the word: Fakkit!

You may think: why is she writing this?! I don't feel like saying it... Ok, I give you the reason why today for me this word is useful.
I wake up to know my water boiler is broken, I can't shower nor clean the house, my landlord is going on holidays this week so we better fix it soon. Then I see my on FB that my ex bf is happy and never ever thought back about what he had said to me before leaving (lies) and lives his life like nothing happened, it's OK but it hurts. The government asked me back some taxes money because they realized they made a mistake when giving back to me a year ago, so they'll take them back with interests.
Well - you know what I say to all this?! Fakkit! I am still alive, I am healthy and smiley, life still goes on, people who don't deserve me are not near to me, those problems are only very small bureaucratic issues....

Don't Worry Be Happy, Bob Marley used to sing, which I translate into the Fakkit motto. It's hard to remind, so I say it loud. Make some fun over it and understand that we give priorities to things or facts, we give them importance. We can also move that importance to other things and not overlook always what seems to us more important. Try to switch point of view - sometimes it helps. Watching the same things from different angles will show you different perspectives, so try take the Fakkit way as an alternative point of view- it shouldn't be applied to all things you do - but can be used to your benefit when you need to switch perspective.

I have written this out of my mind and thoughts - but I am sure if I search the net I can find something to back this up - I'll be updating this post. Non sense is about the non sense in life, today I believe that worrying can be a non sense. We could worry so much less... we could try at least. So I'll back this up with proper references and facts, but if I don't then you know now what you should say ...... ;-)

Have a peacefull day ☆
