To stay positive in life is super important. But it isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. Maybe confidence is needed from within us to gain that positivity. Maybe it’s the mindset. Maybe it’s just you telling yourself that you can do it.

Things don’t always go our way in life. When it doesn’t, that’s when negativity tends to slowly creep in and stay within us. Negativity drains every bit of energy out of a person, and it does more damage than one could ever imagine. It impacts not just the person themselves, but more importantly, the people around them who cared and loved.

Confidence is not exactly something that one can be presented with. It all comes from within. Motivation and encouragement does help, sometimes. Still, it’s something where only you and you alone can bring it out. Although, I must admit that sometimes I do wish that confidence can come in a nicely wrapped present, so I can have them for my birthday.

I’m not exactly the most optimistic person I know, and sometimes the pessimism impacts me in many ways which I, myself do not realize. It’s not good, really. I know. But I’m learning everyday the importance of staying positive, especially when things are not going as planned. The pep talk yesterday was yet another slap in the face, but it was a good slap.

I am trying. To learn the art of staying positive under all circumstances. I need to learn to build a higher level of confidence and also, to learn to trust. Trust; man that’s another tough lesson.

Well, we are all learning everyday to be a better person. aren’t we? :|

bit by bit

Sometimes, I would sit down and wonder about the things that have happened in my life. The people I’ve met, the things I have encountered, the stories I’ve heard, the lessons I’ve learned, all of which have made the me I am today. A super-emo-all-about-love gal.

:)

It is amazing how lessons in life can be so priceless. It is not something you can google or find in a text book. Some of these lessons are earned through the experience itself, making it even more priceless. It is these life lessons that shape the real you.

Up till this very day, I still believe everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the coincidental situation is not so much of a coincidence. I don’t think there’s so many coincidences in life. It’s just a way of making us learn. Sometimes we choose to ignore these situations. But if we study each situation carefully, there is a hidden lesson to be learned. From trying to find a job to reading certain messages you are not supposed to read, from meeting new acquaintances to having a long chat with an old friend, from the countless arguments and the endless laughter shared, every situation has something to offer.

I don’t know if any of us have ever thought of life that way, a medium who is constantly throwing bits and pieces of lessons in our face, hoping that we will learn the little things to make us a little better. It’s like a secret code, and it is waiting for us to decipher.

As for me, I’m still learning. Everyday. Bit by bit. I’m at this stage where all the lessons that can be taught is thrown at me at one go. Everything, from career, to relationship, to family. It does get a little overwhelming sometimes, trying to connect those dots to make everything make sense. Coz at this point, it doesn’t make sense at all. Confused as hell.

I’m determined to make this work. Somehow. I’ll figure this out one day, after I find a way to decipher the codes. But until then, I believe everything happens for a reason. The dots will connect one day. Maybe not now, but I’m sure it will.

Nite.

loving u

I am truly a sucker when it comes to love. My belief for what love is has stand strong for many years, after discovering the beauty of love. It isn’t about the butterflies fluttering in your stomach when he comes up to you and say hi, nor is it about not being able to sleep and eat simply coz you’re in love. To me, it is about the union of 2 souls, trying hard to make the best out of the relationship, bringing out the best of one another when they are together.

It is easy to love someone for their good side. If someone pays more attention to you, make extra effort to care for you, be there when you need them, what is there not to love, right? It is sometimes the good side that allows us to forget about the bad side, temporarily. One day, when the good side becomes a norm, the bad side will surface. Do you stop loving that someone then? Do you love them less? If loving someone is all about loving them for their good side, you will never settle down for anyone. Perhaps one will need to settle for a few, to get a diverse area of good stuff.

When you truly love a person, in spite of the bad behaviors they may have, you can’t help but smile and say to yourself, ‘he’s my man’. When you truly love a person, even when he drives you up the wall with his crazy habits and attitude, you can’t help but wipe away those tears, smile and say to yourself, ‘he’s my man’. When you truly love a person, even when it comes to a point that his love for you may depreciate, you look at him and say to yourself, ‘he’s my man’.

Both party has to work together in a relationship. No one is perfect. You’ve just got to find the one that is perfect for you, in his own little imperfect way. When those tears are wiped away, you can still find it in your heart to say ‘I Love You’, then yes, he’s that imperfect guy who is perfect for you.

in U I trust


Trust – it takes years to build trust but seconds to destroy them. It is never easy to earn the trust of others. So if you really have earned it, appreciate it. I’ve always had problems with trust, in fear of getting hurt. The fear can be over empowering sometimes. But I guess without trust, a lot won’t work now would it?

Well, in you I trust.

P/S: Monday blues is doing its thing.

709

It has been 2 days since the Bersih rally. Tons of videos of the rally have been posted on Facebook and Twitter, flooding my timeline. But to be honest, I haven’t had the guts to watch any of the videos. I guess I wasn’t ready to feel the pain.

Having said that, I was glad I click the play button to this video.

It showed us all nothing but the truth that happened on July 9, 2011. I was disgusted by how our citizens were being treated by the police. It was tragic. This group of trained policemen, who holds the responsibility of protecting the safety of us citizens have turned their backs on us when we didn’t come close to doing anything wrong, beating us up inappropriately and folding their arms when a man of no threat was injured. They have brought nothing but shame to our beloved country. It almost felt like they haven’t got any compassion within them, only anger.

As mentioned in my previous post, I believe that there’s nothing wrong with Bersih. There’s nothing wrong with pleading for fairness. There’s nothing wrong with doing a peaceful rally with regards to this matter. The only reason why the authorities were so worked up is simply because they are afraid that the truth will be unveiled. All the lies our leaders have spoken of this situation have been nothing but disgusting. They are making a complete fool out of themselves and yet, till this very moment, they have not realized that fact. It is really sad.

The greed for money and fame and the temptation of possessing power decides to knock on some of our leaders’ doors one day, and that’s when our leaders were sucked into this stage of illusion that all of the above are good, where they lose their brains, leading to stupidity and moronic behaviors, where they will LIE for all of the above. This, is the faces of our leaders. The leaders that are supposed to lead us to a better future. But have they done their job?

At this point of time, after knowing all the ridiculous lies that have been told, how does one bring themselves to vote and support the government? Perhaps they fail to realize that they have made it so much easier for many to choose who to vote for in the next election.

*sigh*

Something I read earlier today moved me. It was written by a girl who went to the rally just to look around. Now, this is what I call a true 1Malaysia story. If only our leaders would see things from our eyes.

I am still a Malaysian. Though I feel much shame for our leaders to behave as such and I’m sad that this has got to happen, Malaysia is still where my home is. Let’s just pray that righteousness will be unveiled soon enough.

a lie

I don’t understand why someone would choose to lie in a love relationship. When someone choose to lie, are they really lying to that person they want to lie to, or are they simply lying to themselves? What good does it do to you when you lie? Just because it brings you less problem, does it mean the problem is solved? Perhaps the people who choose to lie fail to realize that a lie will only grow into a bigger lie in time and will abrupt one day.

Trust is what’s most important in a relationship. With a lie, the trust would have been broken. Sometimes it doesn’t take a lot of lies to break that trust. At times, one lie could have been enough to destroy the entire trust that has been built over time. Is it worth it? Is it worth to lie to your partner and break that trust and love? Perhaps to some it is. For others, it may just be a regret that will linger on for the rest of their lives.

No one likes to be lied to. It’ll just make you feel like you’re a dumb ass. At least that’s how I feel.

Oh well.

gotta love life

Life is about living it to its fullest. It is about taking that journey, good or bad, without any regrets. It is about doing the things you want to do, at the time you want to do it, and making the best out of it.

A huge part of life is;

  • about the love – the love for your family, the love for your friends and the love for that one person. It is all about giving all the love you can ever give, before you kick the bucket. It is about living together in harmony, being able to spend the rest of your life together.
  • never about the materials. Money is important, but chasing and owning material stuff isn’t.
  • about searching for a passion. A passion to cook, a passion to write, a passion to draw – a passion for anything. It is tough to realize these passions, but if you look hard enough, I’m sure you’ll find it.
  • always about changes and challenges. Nothing in life is certain. Only uncertainty. But I believe there’s one thing that will always be certain – YOU. You will always be who you are.

Life is beautiful. It will be if you believe in it.

p/s: I think I’m dedicating this post to ME. haha. ;) May Nov be good.
