One of the best things we can do in our lives is to fall in love. I think it’s cute. I always love the thought of love and the wonders it can bring. It can make you smile in your worst mood, and can turn your gloomy days into a fun adventure. It takes away the negative thoughts and paints a smile on your face 24-7. The wonderful feeling is just so great. And now I wonder, am I ready? No, I’m not. #hellofebruary14

One Day

            I've been unexpectedly hooked to romantic films last year and for all of those movies I watched, I just really so love One Day. The film was adapted from David Nicholls' novel of the same title, and starred Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. I was so moved by the film's story and honestly, I cried the whole time watching it (embarrassing fact). Now i really must find the book, can't wait to read the novel itself.  ^_^

Friends

"Friends" 


Tell me, how do you define this word? I could have run my fingers through the keyboard and type google to search the word if I was not half drunk and gained enough sanity to realize that it is more than what people can imagine. Could it be like laughing at the same old jokes, or crying over the same movie… drinking beer together and sharing the craziest things you have done, or just sipping coffee together in a cold, rainy afternoon while looking back at the past and figuring out the future? Well, at least… it always includes the word “together”. Then it doesn’t mean being alone and lonely again. For one of the sweetest experiences life has given, I will try to be a good friend. I may not be the most understanding person, not the patient one, and not the sweet girl one can talk to…but I will try to put happiness in the heart of somebody I can consider a friend. I can give my time, my emotions and the whole of myself to be a part of that friend. Now this is all about how you give and how you gain, and you both end up winning… The love in friendship is never one-sided, doesn’t know treachery nor cheating, and flows naturally and unending. No pretentions… no expectations… no assumptions so you never get disappointed. You can fall in and out of love to a lot of strangers in this world but you can always go back to that one person you know would never leave. I know what they mean. I’ll stay because I chose to. It doesn’t really matter what happened or what will happen, because right now it is the only thing that helps me describe happiness. I might go back into life’s reality someday and see the right from wrong, but I just hope I can keep the feeling. And yeah, I’ll stay.

Hello 2012!! ^_^

          It is never really nice to recall this one but I did step into 2011 with a weary heart. I met that year anxious and scared of all possible situations that could lead me into disappointments, frustrations and regrets… again. The other past years had been quite challenging. But God is really so wonderful He would never put me into situations I can’t handle. I know He wants me to be tough, far from that frail, self-centered and insensitive girl I once was. And there are no words to describe how grateful I am for His undying love over pouring on me. Yeah, His love came in different packages I always get so surprised and excited. They would come in forms of events, situations or my most favorite—persons. Persons who never fail to give colorful hues in my life, be it bad or good, for they all became lessons I learned along the way. As I trudged the road of this year, I’ve realized a lot of things I was never aware of in the past. Realizations came so swiftly I was almost stunned at one point and now I understand why life is such a surprise. Everything may have been so tough, but I still love the life I have today. For the new career and colleagues I am with right now, for the best set of parents I have and the family I will always love, for the old friends who have always been there, for the new people I met who have inspired me to keep going, and for everything… for everything. I am grateful for every piece of events that occurred, for every word spoken and heard, for every laughter, smile or tear…for faith, trust, friendship and love… I may have cried a lot this year and gone through a lot of complicated things but yeah, I am happy. I may have failed myself in one thing, but yet I have a whole lot of reasons to be happy. I am letting go of all the bad thoughts and experiences, hatred, pain and anguish. Life is short to remain trapped under the bad cloud. And yes, happiness is a choice. I am learning and I know I’ll be good. Let’s raise the glass and cheers for 2012!=)))
