Formula

~Do the right things; Do things right.~

If
Love = You make someone a priority even if you're only an option to them;
Stupid/Dumb = You still care even though you know you'll never get their heart

So,
does Love = Stupid/Dumb?

Why Love is great; and Being Dumb is stupid? Which situation we should apply the word Love, and which situation we should apply the word Dumb?

Is doing something without asking for return = Love or Dumb?

Do the right things; Do things right. That's Effective and Efficient.
Smile, let it be, see how it goes, and never think or don't want to think about it, isn't that Delaying or Avoiding? Worst if it is Denying. By not thinking about it, the matter or the unclear or uncertain still remain there, unsolved.

Understand the facts, accept the facts, eventually you will live with the facts, without suffering your emotions and mental.

Here I Am

I'm hurt.

There is only one thing I need - tell me if you ever going off.

There is only one thing I'm doing - I'm always here for you.

My Love Horoscope for 26th April 2008

"Make plans with your sweetie, avoiding too many restrictions. The future holds infinite possibilities. Decide which route you'd like to take and give it a reasonable timeline."

hmmm... i like the word infinite possibilities..
also, i like the word avoiding too many restrictions..
and, i like the last sentence..

Basically, i like it all.. for i think, isn't words that is written here, supposed to be what i should be doing?

Affirmation?

Give Up

I'm alone.
All the while, it was all the while me..

Yesterday, i was singing whole day, from home to work, and from work to home. A day earlier, i was talking through phone. The truth hurts, yes, but I was glad for the frankness. I'm outside the border, standing there looking, alone. It seems so near, but in reality, it's far. Of sudden, I felt so lonely. One sided as mentioned in earlier blogs.

I remembered I told a friend before, when you are having disagreement with someone else, stay cool, and listen; if the other person is yelling, you should not. There, you can get the facts and truth which that person was trying to hide before; for when someone is in anger, and unable to control his / her emotions, they can't really think logically, especially when they're trying to cover lies with another lie. There, is where you can pick up the facts and truth about things if all you do is LISTEN. That is why I always say, "You will never know what a word meant to someone; it may heal, it may kill," In this case, it may kill the person who said it, if he / she was actually trying to cover lies.

Today,
"one is confused, having problem with the husband; one is getting married; one is single; Of course single lar"
"she speaks better english too,"
"she's a graduate,"

I know, that was only conversation. Yeh, I may be being too sensitive, but what can I do? During meet up, I sense nothing else but maintaining a certain distance from me. Certainly I will be sensitive.

How should I learn, how to love properly, in these situations?
This is how I love...
If you're not pushing me away, but together we go through these, I am always here, whenever wherever. Against whoever or whatsoever, I will stand for that person who is willing to walk the path together with me.
But,
If you're trying to distance away, I will double the distance, and never look back. I guess I'm holding to the statement,"Don't make someone a priority when you are only an option,"

It's either Yes or No for me. Is that wrong? Do I really give up too easy?
Silence, that's me awaiting by holding to the love; Duration, that's a decision by my heart.
It won't be long, if I found out I'm only fighting alone. It will be long, if I know I'm right to hold on.
I promise myself, I will not mention another word of I miss you nor I love you, until you are certain of accepting me into your life. How long will I wait? That's an answer only from my heart. Heart is supported by? My feeling. My feeling is supported by? Your confidence in us.

What is that...

Something is changing, I'm not sure what is that, but I think I wouldn't like it.. for I'm feeling pain within.. it's making me feel even lonely in this.. what must I do to prevent... what am I preventing now? Hold on... hold on... it's an ability... hold on, girl..

The Weekend I Spent

"Please don't worry about me, I know what am I doing,"
That was the message I sent to my dad. Do I really know what am I doing?

Last night, I was in the room, noted down my thoughts and whatever happened for the past weekend. Never bring along the note, now I'm re-writing it, with a better mood, I hope.

Catch came by for the weekend, I've been looking forward for the weekend to arrive. I was even imagining how I shall welcome him. Well, it was supposed to be parked the car, waited him outside the arrival exit, grabbed a big bear hug from him, and that, was all the while my mood since the day he confirmed that he will be arriving by the weekend.

I had training in the office last Saturday. It was supposed to end by 5pm, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I arrived home pretty late. I didn't even have enough time to take a good bath nor pack my bag. Everything was rushing, and I was even late to the airport to pick up Catch. So, I didn't get to hug him then. There, I guess, accumulation of my moody mood started. haha. I'm so full of crap, aye? A hug, cures everything. Hold tight, gently.

So coincidently Catch met his instructor at the same hotel he was staying. I got to know him as well, a nice and funny guy he is. Steve, that's the name. That night, we hang out for late dinner, and for partying in one of the pub in town. So lucky we were, there was a huge police operation in town and we got caught in between. Sigh, they both spent the night waiting for me outside the pub, and I at the same time, standing, sitting, waiting, observing in the pub, while the police got themselves busy by randomly called out some people for urine test. Man, it was my first time caught in this situation. Reminds me of the reasons why I didn't want to get myself involve in partying like this when I was younger.

This weekend, I learnt, whatever you planned, not necessary it will turn out as you planned. Yes, I do aware of this all this while, but I had always try to make my plans run as how I planned. It's kind of difficult to accept and learn this fact, I guess, that's partly why I was moody the past weekend. I tried to question, why it didn't turn out as it was planned? Well, sometimes, unexpected, right? Still, I continue asking, actually the plans can go on as planned, I could have just adjust the timing, no? Yeh.. everything wasn't as planned.

Sunday, I woke up 845am, got hungry, had the Sneakers Catch gave me. Waited till it was almost 1245pm, Catch was awake then. Yeh, that was the plan, late lunch. I didn't want to wake him up, it's more like a holiday weekend here. So, relax as he can, or must. We had a good lunch in Dragon-I, together with Steve too. Then they started to talk about Steve's girlfriend, what's wrong with me? It was like a "click" again to me, am I the same like those girls? And this, also partly why I was moody.

After the lunch, bikini shop. Nah, it didn't look that pretty for me. I didn't like those designs; or maybe they were pretty, but to have it on my body.. hhmm... ugly. haha. Anyway, Steve bought a set for his girlfriend. Remember that day BN told me that HuiLing wore bikini to swim with her and Winnie. Well, I don't even dare to imagine how she looked like in the swim wear. BN said i should get myself one, yeh, I do want, but no, I am not qualified enough. haha. Too shy? Nah, I am not, just don't want anyone to comment negatively about me. hehe.

Anyway, such a sweetheart he is. I know he meant good. Catch asked me to do some shopping, but how would I? I don't even know where I stand yet. Too soon to tell anything. I don't like to spend like how some girls used to tell me,"go ahead, spend it, he is willing to, who cares anyway?" Yeh, some even said,"I got to know this guy, he brought me shopping, so I went in and buy the lingeries, not only 1 set, you know?" How would some girls behave like that? Don't they feel weird and uncomfortable when somebody who is just a friend, or maybe more like a stranger, bought them a lot of stuffs, and spent hundreds or even thousands on them? Most of all, where is the morality?

Too soon to tell anything, because i felt, I'm all this while with my own assumptions and conclusion, me and Catch, we didn't really talk about us. Mom asked me again this morning, still I was blank. I couldn't give an answer, for I myself don't have the answer either. I wanted to ask and talk about so much of things, but then I realized, what was the priority of the weekend. It was supposed to be some kind of holiday for him (and also me lar..lol), so why would I want to ruin the weekend then. However, I am so sorry for I was being so moody the weekend. Catch said," I still prefer the YOU when the first time i met you, the always smiling face," and that's my another "click". Sigh, why the heck I was so self-centered? I knew the priority but I didn't act as it.

That Sunday, in the bathroom, letting the shower filled up the bath tab, flowing through my body, and I was sitting in there, trying to look for the answer,"Do I really know what am i doing?" No answer at all. I was so blank. Very.

Why worry the Later when you can't even handle the Now? Is it because I can't handle the Now, that's why I am worry of the Later? If I am trying to handle the Now, I need to find a solution, but it seems that I am lost in current situation.

Brother knew I am in some kind of emotion disturbed again, that was why when I gave him a call yesterday, he asked where am I and what am I doing. I don't get much support of what I am doing now, will I get his support? I am worry of this too, for current situation, it still seems uncertain to me. What do I have to tell and convince my brother? None. Only my feelings, but that is not enough.

Man, now that I'm writing everything, only I realized that there was so much thing making me moody. Catch told me to share with him and talk to him if I ever ready to do so, but I couldn't. Really. I bet he himself too is very troubled. So, priority. Yeh, it was a holiday trip. Maybe, that was why I was so blank. Didn't want to talk about it but still worried about it. haha. Complicated? Nah, it's just simple. It's just between Do the Right Things & Do Things Right.

I'm feeling better I think. Yeh, as long as i know what is important at the Current, and act as it is, i should be alright. Why would I worry more? Let's see how things go. I'm glad, I met Catch, and that is the most important at all. I'm glad, he is willing to come by, shouldn't I appreciated that? Well, I'm consider lucky too, am I not? Why? He does appreciate me as well, no? Are you thinking that I'm trying to console myself? Maybe you are right, but all I'm doing is, trying not to blind myself with negative thoughts and assumptions. I'm learning to look at the bright side of the situation. Anything that happened, there are a lot of possibilities and outcomes, and reasons too. Take it easy. Think of only things that is within your control. When it involves another party, look for the suitable timing for both parties before trying to confront anything, of course it doesn't mean denying or delaying. hmm.. I remembered i wrote something on that topic last night. I shall write again in a new blog about it.

Today at work, got an email from the Admin Operation Manager, telling me that the company do not practice half day leave, however am given two hours to settle personal things in the morning if necessary, and need to report back to work by 11am.. sigh, my working hour start at 10am alright. And it was written that if I report in later than that, I should apply one day leave. What the heck? Doesn't a company want their staffs to be at work?


Oh, I just finished typing my resignation letter. Keeping it for now. hmm..

Human, funny aye?

Worries within

No idea what's running in my head.
I've been so lost and confused ever since the last blog I wrote. There were times I wanted to write something but I just couldn't come out anything.

What was I thinking? What am I thinking? Am I only worry,"Am I just an option?"
What makes me so lost?
That day, "I'll see how long you'll be like this," he said. Also,"Why you so serious?" he asked.
I couldn't help it, I've always meant what I said and said what I meant. I just don't simply joke about anything.
With the "I'll see how long you'll be like this," does that indirectly confirmed myself that, I'm still all by myself? Yeah... only one sided... dumb me...
I told him,"Learn to look at the bright side of the present," but I myself can't do it in this matter.. what the heck.

I've been looking forward to meet up again, but why at the same time I'm feeling worry, anxious, or scare? Scare of knowing the fact that his heart ain't with me? I can't blame him for that, right? Who am I anyway? Even 10 fingers can count how many time have I met him.
Scare of knowing the fact that I am only an option? Scare of finally awake that I was the one whom always encouraging him and trying to make him like me, instead of the liking feelings developed itself within him?
Scare of knowing the fact that I'm only being accepted because I was encouraging him?

Were those my worries? Were those reasons why I was so lost? Are those... only one reason - I'm afraid of losing him? ... but... why?

My Apology to Janice and Alvin

Towards Janice, a lovely girl whom loves Alvin dearly, I'm sorry if I ever create the arguments between you and your sweetheart. Believe me, he and I, we are always a good friend, for we understand each other well, during some path of our life. It was one yesterday, we were close to each other.

The message I sent, it meant nothing but only recalling back the old times. It's like elderly people talking about the young times, the memories stored. Looking back sometimes make us feel good, looking at how we behave, how we have come through all those days. In fact, it actually reflect us of what we did, and how we should learn from the experiences. I'm not regretting of what happened. My current situation and Alvin's are the same, we both had given our heart to each other, but things didn't turn out right for us; today, both us too has given our heart to someone else, and trust me, both us holds the sincerity within it. His is towards a girl named Janice; whereas mine is towards a guy I refer him as Catch.

Please do not misunderstand him, trust him if you can't trust my words. Use your heart and you will see, Alvin is always about giving his heart truly. From the day he told me about you, I know how he feels for you, and yes, I sincerely wish the best for both of you, it has always by the reason that he is a good friend, nothing more.

Love can be magic. The love i have towards Alvin, it is only a good friend caring for a good friend, or it could be more like an old friend, it doesn't involve developing any intimate feelings. I'm only appreciating a friendship. My miracle, I hope, that will be my Catch. Janice, I wish you and Alvin happy together and all the best will always be with you.

One Sunday

13th April 2008
BN was pretty stressed last night. I was with her till it was almost 4am. We talked and she cried. We had a burger after that too. Gone our diet plan. sigh.

So, Sunday. I asked her to hang out with me. First, went to the salon I went for my hairdo, bought a very expansive shampoo, wanting to buy the conditoner as well, which smell so nice!! But, I bought only the shampoo. Then we went to Perangin Mall.

I wanted to buy a nice hair clip, so that I could kinda fix an opening for my hair (erm.. get what I'm trying to say?) How can a hair clip cost RM20?! sigh. Didn't buy it. Then thought of wax might do the trick, so, we went to Guardian and Watson to have a look. Sigh, it cost almost RM20 or more! Damn it! I didn't buy it either. Guess what I bought? A conditioner. RM14.88.

Then we were just simply window shopping. This coming Saturday is BN's birthday. It was my plan to give her a surprise by visit her at her home with a birthday cake. Then I thought, I've not been giving her present for years now, so, I shopped for a present, didn't tell her that it was meant for her. I love how the present turn out to be. I love the wrapping, I love the photo frame. All are handmade, unique and as special as it looks like. I really hope she will love it. I kinda decorate the wrapping though. haha.

And I found myself another musical item.. well, it wasn't a box, so I can't say music box. Nice, you know? With modern song instead of the typical music box music, which if you were to buy 10 different designs of music box, but playing the same music.. you get what i mean? I found one last year, which I wished it would be my year 2007 birthday present, but no one seems to have the interest to get it for me. haha. The design? It's a hanging down, with 6 or 7 cute small colourful aeroplanes, spinning in a circle, and with not the typical music musical item. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. They have 2 versions actually, one with the colourful aeroplanes, another only with the silver colour aeroplanes. The cost? Freaking expansive.. RM90, made in China. Anyway, back to the one I found during my outing with BN. It's something like Mary Go Round, and with the not typical music la. RM80. Nice crafting though. Still I think I love the planes one. I took the picture of it and it's my handphone wallpaper. haha.

So, done shopping, I spent everything on BN. Just trying to make her feel better. I don't even dare to count how much have I spent. Looked at my wallet when we were ready to leave, sigh.. this month, I'm dry. I gonna top up my Touch 'n Go card in a day or two. I have to drive to work for the next at least 2-3weeks... I still owe AL money this month. I haven't start paying CH. I haven't start paying PTPTN this year. AAAAAAaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!! .... ssshhhh... cool..

Well, the day went off well. I had my dinner with BN. Then we headed home.
I should be sleeping.. but I'm blogging. Listening to songs..
Okie.. good night now.

All by Myself

Over the line, "Can you hold on with me?" he said.

That morning, he was so emotional, he was so hurt, of what is going on, of what went wrong, also questioned his ability in protecting his own family. Without further discussion and talking, he went off for prayers and resting.

That evening, he spent on shopping.
That late night, we talked.
"Can you hold on with me?"
"I don't want to lose you,"
"I'm getting there,"
"Everything comes easy, lose easy,"

Yesterday, "Don't ever get involve with a pilot," he said.
For the first time ever, I almost lost my temper in front of him. It felt as if there was tears in my eyes. I guess, my mood was a little influenced by my buddy's (BN) mood, who seek for my companion and dropped tears for the first time, in front of me. Maybe that was why I almost lost my temper? BN was telling me, she's so lost, felt as if whatever actions and decisions she had taken before were all mistakes. I didn't find it a surprise of what she told me, I have been through what she is going through right now, in fact, I think I'm still in the situation. I told BN, that she has make an improvement today, for realizing the fact that sometimes she doesn't need to win in every arguments; for realizing that she has been repeating her mistakes, and for knowning the reasons why she has been behaving so. The most important is, she has made the first move by sharing her problems and doubts with a friend, instead of keeping all to herself. I told her, that was the reason why she couldn't let go of her stress, that was the reason why at times she felt so lost.

While I was trying to make her feel better, I shared with her my own experiences. There, I too realized some things that I have never look into before. As the result, I was kind of emotion affected as well, but still I kept cool, for the priority was to be my buddy's companion. Till I got a call and heard of the statement, I guess, I started to question myself, does it worth it? One side clapping, it doesn't work. Am I in an one sided situation here?

In the day, I called G, she's my best mate. That call was meant to ask about hair salon. It ended with my story with my Catch. Some little things I heard from her and about the other friends within the group. Some advices and opinions from her. The only one that caught my attention was,"Could it because of the kids, that's why he wants you?" Could it be? Possible. She asked,"There must be something he did, that's why she could do something as such. A wife will always give chances to a husband,". I defended him in this, but it does make sense, isn't it? When something went wrong, it always involved at least two parties. It is because there was disagreements between both parties, that was why things went wrong. Still, sometimes, it just couldn't be explained, people just changed; situation changed; feelings changed; environment changed... What am I thinking now? I fought for it, fighting myself, believing in love does exist, be strong and be there, yet questions and statements kept on making me feel weak.. why? I do scare, I do worry; all I'm asking for is supports to be strong, confidence to stay on. If there is no confidence, should I hold on still?

I felt the desire of having a fairy tale in him at times, but was that what I felt, or was that only my assumptions of what he wants? He ain't confident in these, I ain't either. I try to stand strong and firm, I ain't facing any other problems other than MONEY NOT ENOUGH (haha), ain't I supposed to be stronger than he is? Yes, I'm starting to feel lost. I know this path is tough, but I seriously do not know, how am I supposed to make myself prepared for the situations I may face. How tough it will become? I told BN that actually relationship is very simple, as long as you handle the communication well, as long as you handle well the human interations... but, am I able to do so? It still need both side. Does distance really affect much in the communication? For me, yes, it certainly does.

"I would rather work than stay home and see her,"
Denying is the word I have. Avoiding is another. Confront yourself, accept the fact, it may be hard, but in time, it does make your life easier. Why let someone else misbehaviour controls your emotions and actions? Worst when it makes you don't feel like going home.

Today, of a short conversation through phone, I noticed, she's tensed; she's shocked; he's frustuated; he's confused; what is she trying to do now? A conclusion came into my mind, "They're trying to pissed each other off, to make each other feel how it felt like when they were treated wrongly," Emotional actions? Let me tell you, she'll be back, on what reason, I do not know, there are some possibilities. I'm telling myself, "Let's see what happens in the next few days,"

"Do you know what you are getting yourself into or not,"
I do not know.

Below are my statements to BN when she says,"As a friend, just wouldn't want to see you fall and hurt, again and again,"
"Do my part well, for this is what I have feeling for,"

"I know I need to get myself psychologically prepared of the concequences, the possible reunion of his family, the happily ever after of theirs, the sorry and the awaken of his confused actions, as well as mine; but now, currently, I've been telling I will be there, and that's what I will do, I may be a little confused and maybe wanting to give up.. but I'll be there as long as I'm still having the courage to stand strong,"

"I'm able to let go if I want to, I may be sad for days, but I'll be alright pretty soon, it's just another type of feelings,"

"Family is my goal, to build a family, it isn't easy; It's just the same as you are trying to build your career. You need to do it step by step. Family isn't about liking someone, falling in love, sign the paper, and there you have the family. Family is something you have to carefully nurture, showering it, taking care of it, spending your time and effort, it is the same concept as you are trying to keep your career safe... that was why, I used to have this concept that I will want to be in relationship at least 7 or 8 years before marriage, just like my brothers,"

Questions to answer? Or answers to questions? :-
"Is he the one?" Is there answer to every questions?

"Why do you fall for me?" Must there a reason?

"Do I know what is love?" Does love has the same definition in everyone's understanding?

"Is it simply just a feeling?" How if it is? How if it is not? Feelings can be developed, it as well can be vanished in a second. When there is feelings, why want to questioned it so much? Because worry the feelings will be gone later? Why worry the Later when you can't even handle the Now? Is it because the Now has not been carefully handle, that's why the Later occur?

Appreciate the Now, that is what I am doing. Is it right? Or is it wrong? Frankly, I do not know. I walk my life letting my feelings leading me. Is that right, or is that wrong? Wrong you may say. My reason, if I'm happy of what I'm doing, I continue; if I'm unhappy, I try to confront it; if to no avail, leave it for awhile, then only decide what to do next.

Am I starting to be selfish already? Both my looking serious relationship in my life, holds the same heartfelt pain. Both what I did and what I'm doing, no one is supporting, am I doing the wrong again? Maybe I should confront myself and tell myself, "You just can't handle your relationship well,"
望着你突然一阵心痛,一次又一次让那感情放纵。
你的脆弱让我走不开,你的依赖所以我存在。
想着你还是想到心痛,期待我做的将来你都会懂。

My Love Astrology of The Day

The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing and you're in love. Definitely. Well, congratulations. Just in case you're not quite sure, somewhere in the back of your fragrant, pink, smoke-filled brain, however, arrange for a prenup. And don't let Elvis do the ceremony. He's dead, you know.

Learning

I should be working, but I'm blogging.

I'm bothered, because I've make love as my goal.

Relationship, it's just part of life.

If it makes you unhappy, leave it. If you're happy of what you're doing, live with it.

I read my blog, Towards the Ups and Downs just now. I feel better now. I should always remind myself of what i wrote in the blog, I think it was really well written. Please take a look.

Argh... life, a forever changing, a forever learning process.

Downtime

Being asked tons of questions, it felt as if I was being told,"Now I can make you fall in love so deeply, I can as well break your heart one day," ; also it felt as if I was being exposed to that person's wild desire,"I have the ability to make someone fall so deeply to me, why the heck you are going away from me?"

The situation now, it doesn't look as beautiful as it was in my imagination and desire. Or am I thinking too much? Sigh, I always with my thoughts and dreams. I always with my world.

I don't deny, that my mood is always being influenced by what is happening to my love life. Just recently, i actually make Love as my goal in life. Sigh. As naive and as stupid as i may be.

Those who read Catch makes My Day Everyday, please tell me, you're thinking I'm too naive...

argh... I have no idea what is in my mind now... I want to go out.. should I just go somewhere this weekend?
So sorry, wrote this kind of emotional and non informative type of blog. Bear with me please, this is how I express my sad moments.

Catch makes My Day Everyday

9th April 2008
Smile when you make a call, or answer a call; and it's true that the person who hears you, hears you smile too.

I got to know a friend, someone who is so full with life. I have never thought there is such a painful experience that is running on in his life now. Let's refer him as Catch.

The first day I know Catch, I remembered how I tried to distance myself, at the same time try not to be so obvious. Distanced away because i noticed there was some chemistry running within the group i joined that night. Tried not to be so obvious, because he is a new friend, didn't want him to feel offended. However, at the same time, I noticed, he is such a lively person, enjoys life, and appreciates friends. It was actually a short outing that night, I didn't really get much chance to talk much either. haha.. well, not forgotten, I was trying to distance away.

After half a month, I got an overseas call, which I thought was my prince charming calling, but surprisingly, it was Catch calling from Japan. We had a good chat and it ended with a date for me and him when he came back to Penang.

Never cross my mind that I would develop further in the friendship. WE talked about our past, our debts, it was all about joy and sad memories in our life that we shared with each other. Soon, we get along so well with each other and became close friends. Guess what? Now, almost everyday I'll get a wake up call, and that call actually make my day a better one. It's just a wake up call, a short chit chat, and filled with a lot of laugher, my days always start will a sweet smile on my face. And the main reason is, whenever i answer his call, I was always greet by a lively "hello", and straight away I felt that, smile is already there.

11th April 2008
Today, as usual, i got a morning call from Catch in Japan. Everything went well, i even got a second call from him. Yeah, I was really happy. Then he started to talk about his problems again, which always a hurtful things to him. And I will be the one trying to console and trying to make him see clearly of what is his main problem that leads him to how he is now. It's rather sad to do it through chit chatting in skype, you know?

I'm hurt hearing what he said, because that make me realized of the facts that I'm facing now. And the same time, I'm hurt I couldn't do much to help him now. However, realizing the facts that I'm facing now, I went out for a ride during lunch break. I asked myself, do I really know what love is? Or is it all this while, it's simply just a complicated feelings within myself? Does what he is doing now, that is love? If I love this guy, as I thought so, what must I do? Pull him out of his current situation? Or help him to save his current situation?

Once I loved a guy, that which I refer to as my eternal love in my other blog; I hurt him to love him, I hurt myself by hurting him, I hurt his feelings, broke our dreams, just because I want him to be strong, and yet at the same time, i knew, what I did was because of him, that is "I want him to stand up without emotional depends on me," Was that my love? Was that consider love? No regret to see he is happy now. At least i know, he is happy and lucky enough to find a girl whom appreciates he as he is; at least not like me, trying to form a new him by hurting him, instead of leading each other, holding hands. And I thought, that is my way of LOVE, sacrificed my desire just to bring him up.

And today, to be frank, this man I'm seeing, he is a married man who is currently having marital problem with his wife. This is even tougher than the path I was in with my eternal love, I guess. I was told, they have divorced, but they are still staying under one roof. However, each other will have their own life, no one would interfere each other's life. And they have 2 cute little kids.

I told myself, don't ever deny if I really care and if I really love a person. Let the person knows that I care and I love him / her. Yes, I do tell my friends whom I really appreciate that i love them, I do tell them I love you. I tell my parents, i tell my brothers too. That's me. No regrets if I'm dead tomorrow.

So, towards my eternal love, yes, I told him, I love him, I've always do. But I meant nothing to interfere his life now. Then, towards Catch, i did tell him too, yes, I'm loving him so much now. He kept asking me why am I falling for him? I think, Catch seems no confident of my love. Is it because I'm being too frank? Too straight forward? Too good to be true? I may be conservative on certain things, but when it comes to feelings like this, wouldn't it be better to be crystal clear? When things are crystal clear, there won't be complications, right?

Today, through the songs that meant so much for him, I understand now. I shouldn't listen to everything i was told. I could have seen more. Within the song, I felt his love towards his wife. His wife may have turn away now, but he is willing to hold on, and he is willing to accept her, anytime she is ready to come back. And yes, he is hoping and wishing she will be back, turning back, look at him once more.

I'm hurt, but as always, I offer love. But I'm glad, that I really see him as such a loving person, that's why he is so emotional unstable now. I have mentioned in previous blog, that I will never love the same way again. This time, I will not hurt him; I want to help him to win his marriage back. I will do my very best to stand by him, whenever he is in need of a loving heart to heal. Fairy tales can always happen in another way, isn't it? Cry only when I want to, but never in front of those that I love. Because if i do, that will hurt them and actually make their situation and burden worst. I shouldn't.

Ha.. maybe one day, someone would write a story of me "The Legend of A Lovely Love Lady". My, I'm in my dream again. Pardon me for that. Yeah, I look forward so much for love, end of the day, I'm the only one giving and giving, my happily ever after is to see those i love to live happily ever after with their love ones. Maybe you who read this might say I'm a freak, or I hold myself too high, well, what the heck.. love makes me alive, it makes me discourage as well.. maybe I'm just too hunger for a man to hold my hands and walk my life with me. Who knows?

In my previous blog, Love Reminder, I've mentioned that love is an ability, and there would come a time when we have to stop loving someone, not because that person has started hating us, but because we found out that they'd be happier if we let them go. It's such a statement to study, you know?
My eternal love, if I ever keep bugging him, telling him I want him back, can you imagine what will happen?
My Catch, if I keep on bugging him, ask him to let her go, and come to me, can you imagine what will happen?
Well, of course those above are very simple questions to think about.. I've think so much of the statement. If only I could cry now, but I can't and I won't, I wish I won't cry. haha.

Nah, I'm just a close friend, and that I shall be. Pain, that is the difference of what it is, and what you want it to be. The luckiest person in this world, the person who is able to love and be loved. It's my wish that you who is reading this blog, that you will find your happily ever after. Let's make a fairy tales come true, it does happen, you know..

U2 Song Lyrics - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

Bono says: "My father worked in the post office by day and sang opera by night. We lived on the north side of Dublin in a place called Cedarwood Road. He had a lot of attitude. He gave some to me - and a voice. I wish I'd known him better." (The Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own music video)

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
You’re telling me and anyone
You’re hard enough
You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that’s alright
We’re the same soul
I don’t need, I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I sing
You’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me
Well, hey now
Still got to let you know
A house doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

U2 Song Lyrics - I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well, yes, I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
And my shame
All my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Don't go away
I'll sing my love for you
Don't go away
Oh you know I love this place
Don't go away
I won't go without you baby
Don't go away
Don't go away

U2 Song Lyrics - Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh Lordy you've been stealing
From the thieves and you got caught
In the headlights of a stretch car
You're a star

Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
You're a headache in a suitcase
You're a star

Oh no, don't be shy
You don't have to go blind
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Star

Oh no, don't be shy
It takes a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
You're a star
Oh child, of course you're not shy,
You don't have to deny love
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

U2 Song Lyrics - Staring At The Sun

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over youS
tuck together with God's glue
It's gonna get stickier too
It's been a long, hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all

I'm not the only one starin' at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind

There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
You wanna see what the scratcing brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do often have to
Those that can't do often have to preach

To the ones staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind

Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I'm nearly great but there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me

You're not the only one starin' at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind

U2 Song Lyrics - Elevation

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse

You elevate my soul
I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now, going down, excavation
I and I into the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I into the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly so high
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation

U2 Song Lyrics - Discothèque

You can reach but you can't grab it
You can't hold it, control it, no,
You can't bag it
You can push but you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, oh no,
You cannot connect it

You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what it is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff

You get confused but you know it
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, love,
You don't always show it
Let go, let's go, let's go,
Discothèque
Let go, let go, go go,
Discothèque
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head
Love

It's not a trick 'cause you can't learn it
It's the way you don't pay that's okay
'Cause you can't earn it

You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what it is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff
Let go, let's go,
Discothèque
Go go, go go
Discothèque
Love, love
Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
I want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head

Love, love, love
You want heaven in your heart
Heaven in your heart
The sun, the moon and the stars
But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
And you know there's something more
But tonight, tonight, tonight

Boom cha, boom cha
Discothèque
I can't get it, I can't, it's not enough
Boom cha, boom cha
Discothèque
I can't get it, I can't, it's not enough
Boom cha, boom cha
Discothèque
I can't get it, I can't, it's not enough
Boom cha, boom cha
Discothèque
Boom cha, boom cha
Discothèque

U2 Song Lyrics - Gloria

I try to sing this song loud
I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete
Gloria, in te domine
Gloria, exultate
Gloria, Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips
I try to sing this song loud
I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in
Gloria, in te domine
Gloria, exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you
Gloria
In te domine
Gloria
Gloria

Be Careful When Buying Baskin Robbins Ice Creams

Information i got from a friend's blog. Below is written by Wan Cheng Huat.

This matter that I am about the share here actually did cross my mind on the day that Janice bought Baskin Robbins Ice Cream on March 31, 2008. There were 3 small block of dry ice in the Baskin Robbins paper bag; it was to keep the ice cream cool. I realized that dry ice was made out of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the effects of inhaling too much CO2 could be detrimental. I did contemplate awhile on the matter but did not weight it to be as severe as I could had been; as the blocks were really small like a size of a 20 cent coin.

Exactly a week later, I received an email from my dad regarding the similar situation. This time it involved a larger amount of ice cream; which directly meant larger amount of dry ice to go with it. In a small enclosed area like in a car, CO2 cannot escape into the environment. Little did the driver know, he set up a potential silent killing box. He found himself short of breath and began to feel woozy. Fortunate for him, there was an ambulance beside him (I don't trust this part of the email, how coincidence). He immediately requested help.

Our blood has higher affinity towards CO2 than O2; which means that CO2 will bond better than O2 when it comes in contact with our blood. This means gradually our body receives lesser and lesser O2 and eventually will lost its functionality. This condition is called CO2 poisoning. In a perfect conditions, death is inevitable.

Not many of us are that fortunate to have an ambulance beside us. For me, I could do without the dry ice next time I ever buy myself a Baskin Robbins take away.

Love Reminder

Almost forgot to blog this, it has been written in my notebook for some time.

~Love is not simply a feeling, love is an ability~

There would come a time when we have to stop loving someone, not because that person has started hating us, but because we found out that they'd be happier if we let them go.

Of What I've Been Searching For?

It bothered me so much before this, on how i should look good in front of whoever I'm going to meet in another few weeks time.

Today I asked myself, why the heck I ain't stopping myself from eating those junk food, those tasty food which I shouldn't be touching anymore during this period? I felt, I ain't being bothered of the outlook anymore. Why? Is it because I found what I needed the most? I do really hope so. Well, I do still wanna look good, but it isn't as tension as before now. It's more like looking healthy and fit now.

I guess... I am really loving what I have now. Though, it could be a very hard and difficult path or risk I'm gonna take, but.. I just couldn't stop myself from doing what I'm doing. Kept telling myself,"hey, you might get hurt, come'on, stay focus and clear up your mind," lol. Well, as stubborn I am.

They said,"Love as if you never got hurt before," I said," Everyone knows you'll never love the same way again," Is my eternal love still within me? Yeh, I guess so, (I'm such a loving person okay? lol) but I think I'll never love the same way again.

Recently, I read in a book, "It is important to experience painful situations and learn from them, rather than try to distract yourself with something else," You see, it was said in the book, that Pain is the difference between what is, and what you want it to be. It sounds so true and make sense, isn't it?

How I wish I could type the whole thing from the book into this blog and share it with everyone out here. After reading the book, you'll find that to be happy is so simple, it's just that we have forgotten about it. To be honest, I have not finish reading the book. So, today I gonna share some tips I learnt from this book. I hope it helps whenver wherever you needed one.

"When you are fully engaged in what you are doing your mind doesn't wander. You enjoy life. And you are happier and more effective. You are intent only on what is happening at that moment. And that focus and concentration leads to your success."

The above sentence means, to live at the present moment, the right now moment; it is not the past, nor the future. Try it, and you'll see. Well, of course there are some factors you will need to consider. Read below for the tips.

"Being in The Present means Focusing on What is Happenning Right Now! It means Appreciating The Gifts You Are Offered Each Day."

It's amazing how simple it is and how fast it works. I myself did always tell myself to live at the Now Moment, i have never thought I would read a book like such, which actually make me feel so good. By being aware of the importance of living at the Now moment, and now being exposed to this interesting book, I need to really help myself to be happier. I'm learning.

"Even in the most difficult situations, when you focus on what is Right in the Present Moment, it makes you happier, today. And it gives you the needed energy and confidence to deal with what is Wrong."

"Being in the Present means Tuning Out Distractions, and Paying Attention to What is Important, Now. You Create Your Own Present by What You Give Your Attention to Today."

"It is Hard to Let Go of The Past if You Have Not Learned from The Past. As Soon as You Learn and Let Go, You Improve The Present Today."

People always say,"my past experiences make me who i am today,". I don't deny that I did say that as well. And if i keep on saying this, does that mean I ain't learn anything from my past experiences? I guess so. Because if I did, I wouldn't have said "my past experiences brought me who I am today," because that sound like I'm regretting of what or who I am today, isn't it? I may learnt a little or nothing from the past. And I may have done or doing the same mistakes again; isn't my present would be the same as my past then?

"When you do not use your feelings about The Past to learn from your experiences, you lose the joy of The Present. Once you have truly learned from The Past, it is easier to enjoy The Present. While it is true that one must not live in The Past - for then you are not living in The Present - it is important to use The Past to learn from your mistakes. Or if you've done well in The Past, look at why and build on your successes."

"Anytime You Are Unhappy In The Present And Want To Enjoy The Present More, It Is Time For You To Learn From The Past Or To Help Create The Future."

Hmm.. I guess that's how much I have read so far. If it caught your eyes and interest of what I wrote in this blog, and you are wondering what book is this, leave me a message and I shall let you know. I hope, somehow, it helped a little.

I'm using the knowledge of the book, helping myself, also helping someone who is such a loving person as well. Man... I started to feel like I'm a forever loving person, or I have so much of love to give away. When will I start to love myself, hmm? lol. I love it when I care for someone. Plain me. =D Love Freak?? gosh!

The Secret to Being Naturally Thin

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to just naturally stay slim while others gain weight just looking at food? A new study may shed some light on why: It all boils down to brain chemistry.
Researchers studied the differences in MRI responses in people who were "naturally" thin and those who struggled with their weight with some interesting results. They found it took longer for the area of the brain called the left amygdala to register "fullness" in overweight people than thinner ones. Or in other words, heavier people had to eat more food and more calories to get the same signal that said "stop." Researchers said the discovery may someday lead to a treatment for overeating.
If you tend to overeat, you can put this news to work in your favor right now by starting your meals with a low-calorie soup or a salad with low-calorie dressing first to help encourage a feeling of fullness without a lot of calories, and then by taking your time when you eat, which will give your brain more time to register satisfaction. Soon others will be wondering how you stay so "naturally" thin, too!

The Truth About Chocolate

The Truth About Chocolate

If you’re confused when it comes to chocolate, you’re not alone. A health food? A tasty indulgence? Maybe a little of both? I hope you’ll find the answers to your questions, and also post a note with your own thoughts!

Some basic chocolate “truths”:
  1. Chocolate comes from a plant – it’s the seeds (within the pods) of the cacao tree. It’s naturally very bitter; if you munched on a cacao bean, you would find a very harsh and bitter taste, nothing like chocolate as we know it.
  2. Chocolate varies in its preparation. There are government regulations of what can be called “chocolate”, depending on its ratio of: cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk. Ranging from baking chocolate (almost no added sugars), to dark chocolate (limited sugar and abundant cocoa solids), to milk chocolate (lots of sugar, added milk, and less cocoa solids), to “white” chocolate (NOT classified as chocolate at all, because it has no cocoa solids!)
  3. A special type of antioxidant is found in cocoa solids, called “flavanols”, which are where the health-promoting heart healthy claims of chocolate come from. This is dose related, meaning the more you eat, the more flavanols you consume. As a comparison, it takes nearly four ounces (that’s 3-4 regular size dark chocolate bars), consumed every day to promote a reduction in blood pressure! That’s 500 calories and 42 grams of fat!
  4. The new “super cocoas” are the wave of the future to harness the health benefits associated with the flavanols. The first of these is a Flavanol Rich Chocolate (containing 200 mg per serving – that’s a lot!), produced by the company, Cocoa Via. It’s the active ingredient, without the sugar and fat of a regular chocolate bar.
  5. Chocolate is also a “carrier” for other nutrients, which are unrelated to the activity of the flavanols. Calcium fortified chocolates (in milk and dark varieties) provide ½ the daily calcium requirement in one disk (at 30 calories), plus vitamin D. Plus, phytosterols (plant chemicals) are added to some chocolates to boost the cholesterol lowering ability of the product (Cocoa Via bars with 80-100 calories each). Again, any potential health benefits come from regular – daily – consumption.
Bottom line? Enjoy a modest serving of chocolate IF you enjoy it. Don’t start consuming chocolate as an addition to a “healthy diet”. Calories count, so monitor your portions, and allow a small indulgence. You don’t need to justify a chocolate treat for the health benefits of chocolate. While there are some health benefits to flavanols, they’re also present in a variety of other foods, including apples, grapes, wine (fermented grapes!), and tea.

As with all things eaten, moderation is key! What are your thoughts?

5 Super Food for Weight Loss

Some foods make it really difficult to lose weight. They create their own self-sustaining cravings ("Betcha can't eat just one!") and play havoc with your blood sugar and, ultimately, your waistline. But other foods do just the opposite. You might have heard that certain foods can help you shed pounds. It's true! Here are some other tasty options that will fuel you up and generate weight loss. Make these foods a part of your daily diet and watch the pounds come slipping off.

1) Grapefruit. Ever tried the grapefruit diet? Turns out there may be some good research to back up grapefruit's reputation as a fat fighter. In a 2004 study at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California, researchers investigated the effect of grapefruit on weight loss and found that eating half a grapefruit before a meal can actually help people drop weight. The researchers studied the effect of grapefruit capsules, grapefruit juice and real grapefruit. All three seemed to help, but the folks eating the real grapefruit got the best results. The mechanism isn't completely understood, but the results speak for themselves. As an added benefit, grapefruit contains cancer-fighting compounds like liminoids and lycopene, and red grapefruit has been shown to help lower triglycerides. And half a grapefruit has only 39 calories.

2) Sardines. Sardines might just be one of the greatest health bargains of all time, and they're a boon to anyone wanting to lose weight. First of all, sardines are loaded with protein, which helps stabilize blood sugar, makes you feel full and helps stimulate metabolism. Second, they're a great source of omega-3s, which not only strengthen the cardiovascular system but also are helpful in boosting mood. (And when you're in a good mood, you tend to crave less junk food!) Third, sardines are convenient, easy to find and cheap. And because they're very low on the food chain, they're remarkably free of contaminants, such as mercury and heavy metals.

3) Pumpkin. You may know this vegetable for its central role in Thanksgiving celebrations, but it's also one of the greatest weight-loss foods ever. Plain old canned pumpkin is absolutely loaded with fiber and has a mere 40 calories. Dozens of studies confirm that high fiber intake is associated with a host of health benefits, including weight management. Pumpkin is also among the easiest food in the world to prepare. You can sweeten it with your favorite low or 0-calorie sweetener, sprinkle it with blood-sugar-lowering cinnamon and nutmeg for good measure, throw in some healthy almonds and make it one of the best tasting weight-loss treats around. It's filling and delicious.

4) Grass-Fed Beef. Meat is a great diet food -- if it doesn't contain antibiotics, steroids and hormones. Eat grass-fed beef and avoid the health concerns that go along with eating meat while getting all the terrific benefits. Buffalo burgers are a good alternative if you can't find grass-fed beef. High-protein diets are associated with weight loss for a variety of reasons: Protein stimulates metabolism, helps you feel full longer and helps decrease the desire to overeat. Grass-fed beef has a high omega-3 content, giving you multiple health benefits into the bargain.

5) Green Tea. This natural weight-loss stimulant might not be a food, but green tea is still a great slimming solution, not to mention that it's rich in antioxidants, promotes heart health, aids digestion and regulates blood sugar and body temperature. It raises the metabolic rate and speeds up fat oxidation, thus helping people lose weight. Drink it daily to boost your metabolism. Some research has shown that five cups a day is the magic number for fat loss. As an added benefit, the theanine in green tea is also a great natural de-stressor.
