one of those days

It is one of those days where I just don’t feel like doing anything. I’m just tired.

Certain news were announced today and I didn’t quite like how the news sounded. I know I shouldn’t speculate. In fact, I should instill certain positivity in it. But it’s tough. There’s no sure thing when it comes to working for someone.

So yea.

Life is tough; work, relationship, family and everything in between. Just got to let lose sometimes.

I don’t mind going away for just a day, staying by the beach, looking out into the horizon, doing nothing. At this point, I just don’t have the energy to think about anything anymore. Oh well.

love.

trust

Trust is the one most important source of holding a relationship together. Being in a relationship without trust would have been painful. So painful it is sometimes difficult to go on.

Trust is not something that is given to you. You’ve got to earn it. It is definitely not easy opening up all your vulnerability to someone else. There is always this fear that he or she may walk in to your life, take your trust and your love, crush it and walk out forever. If trust has been bestowed upon you, learn to appreciate that trust, and the love that comes with that trust. Never betray it. Unless, you’ve never really love that person.

It is difficult to find someone who would love you with all of their heart and everything. Trust me when I say that doesn’t come by very often. I’ve always believed that certain things, there is no 2nd chances. Why take that risk? Unless, you’ve never really love that person.

Oh well.

what if

Ever so often, do we use ‘what if’ to question if things would be different should we have the courage to do it. Especially when it comes to love. Yea, it’s just questioning. Not doing it per se. I am not sure why. Perhaps we want to spare the chance of getting ourselves hurt. Sometimes, settling for something easy may seem to be the best.

Not for me I guess.

Dear Claire,

‘What’ and ‘If’ are two words as non threatening as words can be. But put them together side by side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.

What if…

What if…

What if…

I don’t know how your story ended. But if what you felt then was true love, then it’s never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn’t it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don’t know what a love like Juliet’s feels like; love to live love ones for, love to cross oceans for. But I’ll like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I’ll have the courage to seize it.

And Claire, if you didn’t, I hope one day that you will.

All my love,

Juliet

h.a.p.p.y

I believe if we are satisfied with the things we have in life, naturally, we will be happy. If we are not entirely satisfied, there is a high chance that we will not be happy and continue that search for that feeling of happiness. The question is, do we know what would make us happy?

A lot of us don’t. We end up sulking, feeling miserable for ourselves and then start cursing at the universe. The thing is, there is a chance that the things that will make us happy are already present in our lives. We could be experiencing the-grass-is-always-greener-on-the-other-side-of-the-fence syndrome or, we simply don’t know what is it that could make us happy. So if we don’t know, how else are we suppose to be happy?

We have to learn to dig deep down inside of us, to understand the things that would make us happy. Super duper happy. Thereafter, learn to appreciate. Yes, there may be 2nd chances, but 2nd chances come by only for certain things and not everything. Don’t ever take things for granted.

Remember that life isn’t perfect. And sometimes, life isn’t fair either. Don’t go searching for a perfect life and say, that’s the thing that will make me happy. It’s just not going to happen. We’ve got to face reality.

Well, if all else fail, go float in the middle of the ocean. I know the beach plus the sea always make me happy. ;)

lucky number 9

August has been a load of madness and happiness.  Lots of traveling, crazy activities and constant thinking (but of course). Met some really nice people (and some not so nice – blah). In a nutshell;

  1. Beach holidays are the best!

  2. Diving is still superbly fun and I want to do more.
  3. I got my first ticket outside of Malaysia due to extreme blindness.
  4. Kermit the Frog, my favorite froggy, has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame!

  5. Jetlag can do crazy things to a person.
  6. Sea water at Cannon Beach during summer is freezing cold at 1C.
  7. Driving on the right side of the road feels the same.
  8. Seeing how trust of a decade is broken breaks certain faith. :|
  9. Still waiting.

Hoping for a good September. ;) *teehee*

two

Two is better than one. With you that is.

what is a marriage?

What is a marriage? To me, a marriage is a promise 2 souls make to each other to love and cherish both individuals till ‘death do us part’. No? Being in a relationship is all about love and trust and sacrificing and compromising between the 2. No? In spite of the flaws that an individual may have, one can still wake up in the morning, 50 years from now thinking, ‘awww… I love this person so much’. No?

What is a marriage?

I still believe that the UP couple exist in real life. But many have told me UP couple is just fictional. That a marriage will just come to a point where there will be no love. It is not possible to wake up 50 years later and still have that same love feeling u have for the person sleeping next to you. All you feel after a while is just a sense of responsibility. Really? I mean seriously? If that’s the case, why bother getting married? We can all just continue going through the dating process and continue to change partners everytime we feel there’s ‘no-love’ anymore. Wouldn’t that be better for everyone?

It is bad enough to hear couples of my parents’ generation getting divorces after 20 to 30 years of marriage. To hear stories of people my age getting divorces, after only being married for a couple of years felt like a slap in the face.

Oh, and allow me to stress that when there is no love, the crazy 10 to 20 years that the two have been together is NOT going to save the relationship. The number of years is not a valid measurement of the strength of a relationship. No where near. I’ve hear too many people actually saying that they are getting married simply coz they have been together for a long time. All so very wrong.

*sigh*

So, what is a marriage to you?
