Disconnect to Connect: SoleSearchingSoulJourney in February 2016

Travelling and Blogging are two things that I really love to do but sometimes I find myself lost in the "present" moment while travelling because I'm already worried that I'm not updating this blog regularly... 

You see, I'm still struggling in that aspect especially when I'm on the road. I feel worried, guilty to some extent, that I'm not keeping with my responsibility to those who follow this blog. It might sound selfish but yeah, for the past weeks that I've been inactive on this site, I chose to savour the moment and focus on the experience first so that by the time I've slow down, I can redirect my energy into writing. 

So for the past 27 days that I'm out of the country, I was not able to post any update on this site though I still managed to update my INSTAGRAM (www.instagram.com/msappleallison) and FACEBOOK PAGE (www.fb.com/solesearchingsoul) so for now, here's a quick glimpse of what kept me from pre-occupied: 

MEET-UP with friends and SSEAYP batchmates

CELEBRATING LOVE & LIFE in Myanmar (Alone but not lonely on Valentines!) 

I tried to read the books I hoarded before and so far I'm making progress in terms catching up with my reading habit. 

INTERACTIONS WITH LOCALS & BEFRIENDING STRANGERS AND FELLOW TRAVELLERS  

I ALSO TOOK THE LONG OVERNIGHT TRAIN RIDES AND ENJOYED BIKING AROUND SOME OF THE KEY PLACES IN MYANMAR

And yes, I also had some collaborations with friends from Ai Sense Photography so I had this
TRAVEL + FASHION photoshoot in Kuala Lumpur too. 

I really love the ‪#‎ZALIA‬ graphic leaf dress I wore in the photo above. It's sold by ZALORA. It can be very conservative yet trendy and when you put a little twist on how you wear it, this ‪#‎muslimah‬ dress is perfect ‪#‎OOTD‬ and ‪#‎OOTN‬ too! 
​You can order the dresses on ZALORA MALAYSIA website. 

Overall, I think disconnecting (or atleast minimizing my time online and not worrying about my blog!) is a good decision. I was able to LIVE THE LIFE and reconnect with myself, my friends and with my God. 

Stay tune for meaningful #SSStory from my recent Sole Searching Soul journey. I met different people with stories that will surely warm your heart and inspire you in one way or another. Thank you for staying connected! <3 <3 <3
