and what lies before us

are tiny matters compared

to what lies within us.”

Bright side;

Found some quotes on a website; http://quotations.about.com/cs/inspirationquotes/a/MakingADiff1.htm.

Robert Frost

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

Marian Wright Edelman

"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."

Earvin Magic Johnson

"You're the only one who can make the difference. Whatever your dream is, go for it."

I am in the midst of dealing with my fears. I would say it can be a pretty exhausting and painful process but if I do not face my fears now and learn to deal with it, I will never know what it is like to overcome those fears and get ahead in life. With that in mind, I will continue to persevere. Always look on the bright side of life lalalalalala! HA

Sane for now;

[My Sister's Keeper Trailer]

I think work is keeping me sane. So, yayyyyyyy. ha ha

I aspire to stick to my commitments no matter what. Words can be sweet but the experience itself sometimes, can be bitter.

I miss my ma like crazy. I feel like I can go crazy just by missing her more than I already do. Nevertheless, I know better than to fall into the abyss of insanity. =)

Someday(Lyrics) by Rob Thomas

You can go

You can start all over again

You can try to find a way to make another day go by

You can hide

Hold all your feelings inside

You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry

[Chorus]

And maybe someday

We'll figure all this out

Try to put an end to all our doubt

Try to find a way to make things better now and

Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow

Someday

Now wait

And try to find another mistake

If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind

You can run, oh

And when everything is over and done

You can shine a little light on everything around you

Man it's good to be someone

[Chorus]

And I don't want to wait

I just want to know

I just want to hear you tell me so

Give it to me straight

Tell it to me slow

Cause maybe someday

We'll figure all this out

We'll put an end to all our doubt

Try to find a way to just feel better now and

Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow

Someday

[x2]

Cause sometimes we don't really notice

Just how good it can get

So maybe we should start all over

Start all over again

I LOVE YOU;

I would like to share a quote with everyone!!

Here it is:

"There is no shame in finding someone else to be attractive, or good company. Even if they don't like you, there is still no shame. If you happen to be fond of someone, and they're not fond of you, it's OK.. You don't have to wait and see if they'll love you back. You can announce it.. Joy in life comes from expressing ourselves, in taking risks and jumping in. Everyone is not going to like you. But you can like who you like." *Andrew Matthews.

I think this quote is brilliant! Actually it makes me feel better. Haha. So much better. Thank you, Andrew! (:

Smitten! ^-^

I am in love with a song! I listened to it for the first time and I was smiling to myself. haha. I must be out of my mind. (:

Prettiest friend by Jason Mraz (Lyrics)

This is what I look like today

And I'm trying not to pull out my hair

I'm trying how to grow it but I'm far too shy to show it back there

That is probably why I like wearing hats

There's no denying I'm deferring the facts

Avoiding confrontation

Lacks tact in a situation

Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn

But if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming

And oh, it goes to show

There's so much to know

I wrote this for my prettiest friend

But while trying not to prove that I care

I was trying not to make all my moves in one motion and scare her away

She can't see she's making me crazy now

I don't believe she knows she's amazing how

She has me holding my breathe

So I'd never guess that I'm a none such unsuitable, suited for her

And if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentery

And oh, it goes to show

The moral of the story is boy loves girl

And so on but the way it unfolds is yet to be told

I know that I should be brave

Even pretty can be seen by the blind

I know that I cannot wait

Until the day we finally learn how to find each other

Redefining open minds

And if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed

And it's golden, it goes to show then

The ending of this song should be left alone

And so on 'cause the way it unfolds is yet to be told

Better off ;

"Better to write for yourself and have no public,

than to write for the public and have no self. "

*Cyril Connolly

Have you ever;

Some songs are so easy to relate to. For instance, 'Biarlah Rahsia' by Siti Nurhaliza.

"Pernahkah kau bermimpi seketika

berada di tempatku

membayangkan pahit manis berlaku

tak siapa yang tahu"

In English it means,

"Have you ever dreamt of what it's like to be in my place,

the bittersweet moments that I've been through,

do you know?"

It's exactly what I feel like asking some people. I'm just not sure if it would do any good to ask such a question.

With a heart;

"Lucas: Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world...or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives. For better...or worse."

* (Quote from the drama series 'One Tree Hill.')

Let's make a difference! Smile, help anyone in need, spread some love, have faith in yourself in the choices you're going to make, believe you can make a little difference by sharing some of what you have and in any way that you can. Sustain the humanity (kindness) even in the hardest times. And do it with a heart full of LOVE. YOU can make a difference! :)

What time is it?

Time to study!! (: (:

I don't.. but I do.. (:

I don't have much pictures

but I have endless memories.

Memories that enlivens my spirit

and gives me strength that no words can possibly describe.

I don't have a clue

to what life is entirely about

but I have love,

so much love that I want to give.

I don't have much popularity

but I have people,

wonderful people full of hopes and dreams and aspirations,

people who loves me

for all that I am

and

for all that I can be.

I know I can count on these people. Always.

I don't think

I wil get over some things that haunts me like insanity

but I do know

I have blessings in spite of the struggles.

I don't know

if some people realise how much I love them

although I have shown my love through my gestures and my words

but I do know, I love them.

I love them with all my heart.

"Lucas: Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever."

* (Quote from the drama series 'One Tree Hill.')

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Bless the broken road;

"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back."

* (Quote from the drama series 'One Tree Hill.')

I have been told

that there are people who make promises

but can't keep them.

_______________________________________________________________

In spite of it all, I'm looking forward to tomorrow and the blessings it may bring! (:

Do you want to come with?

Before anything else, I would like to express my gratitude to Aishah for the lovely time at her house and to all the wonderful people who made my day by filling it with joy and meaning. Thank You, truly. I haven't felt this way in a long time. I know happiness comes and goes but I will always do my best to cherish what matters most.

That reminds me of a quote:

"Lucas: You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other people's life have we been in. Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died. Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it."

* (Quote from the drama series One Tree Hill.)

If I were to tell you I see goodness in you, would you believe me?

Crying out loud;

I found the perfect quote to describe how I feel now.

"I do not need a reason to be angry with god."

* Movie Quote from 'A Walk To Remember.'

I'm scared. I've always been scared since the day I learned the meaning of 'false hopes' and the deceit of 'happily ever after'.

At the top of my lungs ;

"If you want the rainbow,

you have to put up with the rain." - (Dolly Parton)

It was raining heavily just now. I put up with it. I got drenched and I was soaking wet. So where's my rainbow?? :)

Generally speaking, I haven't seen any rainbow yet.

Metaphorically speaking, you never know. Maybe there IS a rainbow somewhere but I'm just too blinded by the odds of life.

I know what the quote above means though. It's saying that if you want anything worth having in life, you have to overcome the obstacles along the way to reach to your goals, dreams and aspirations.

Are you willing to do it? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals? Are you willing to rise again and again after every fall? The choice is always - yours. You HAVE a choice.

"Where can you run to escape from yourself?"

- (Switchfoot; Dare You To Move)

THERE IS GOODNESS IS EVERYONE

All At Once by The Fray (lyrics)

There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there

Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you've started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you had her, maybe you lost her to another
To another

I'm trying to figure out a poem and a prose (for Literature) and also- ways of how to get all the facts of different subjects into my dear brain.

Oh! By the way, a wise person told me today that "Kindness Is A Great Thing." :)

Stones

In case anyone is wondering how I feel, listen to the latest song on my playlist. Check out the lyrics. I figured I could always relate to a song which defines exactly how I feel.

10,000 stones by Adrianne (Lyrics)

My days are filled with mistakes
Some that I didn't make
I carry them around
Some people don't feel a thing
Some kind of blissful dream
Wish I could live that now
oh I wish I could live that now

10,000 stones are hanging
deep in my heart
no I don't know how they
don't tear me apart
how could I ever believe
10,000 stones would build
the best of me.

I've seen a lot in my life
I've seen two wrongs make a right
When everything was crashing
I know that you got your plans
You're always taking your stand
But I was only asking
I was never asking for ..

who knows what you think of me now
knowing sooner or later
the truth would come out
but I don't want to look back
don't want to look back to

10,000 stones hanging deep in my heart
no I don't know how they don't tear me apart
how could I ever believe
10,000 stones would save the fool in me
10,000 stones would be a strange blessing
10,000 stones would build the best of me.

...

I feel like adding colours to my life. But I could only add so much, you know? :)

Almost seems unreal.

"All your life you are told things you cannot do. All your life they will say you are not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."

again & again

I quote from the movie '17 again',

"When you're young, everything feels like the end of the world.

It's not.

It's just the beginning."

AND

this:

"You might have to meet a few more jerks, but one day you're gonna meet a boy who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. Like the sun rises and sets with you."

I agree with the quote on how everything feels like the end of the world when you're young. Know it all too well. I'm not sure about the second quote though. As usual, I always have my doubts. :)

By the way, I managed to get by today pretty smoothly. The first day of Raya was apparently different without my ma but I have to learn to live with it.

P.S: To my cousin Nurul & Liyana: Thank you for the times you both were always there for me. :)

Vida.

Bless The Broken Road; Carrie Underwood. (Lyrics)

"I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you."

*él salvo mi vida.

Ordinary NOT

Great. What a night. I can't seem to sleep peacefully at all. No can't do.

My head is spinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnning.

"And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And I know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand."
- Ordinary Day; Vanessa Carlton.

My side of the story

My Side Of The Story by Hodges. (Lyrics)

A cold wind blows
I am shivering
My body aches, as my heart is breaking
Why is life, making me hollow
Why is happiness casting me in the shadows, in the shadows
Hold on, dont turn and walk away
Save me

And I cry these words, but nobody came
I'm all alone, running scared, losing my way in the dark
I tried to get up, stand on a prayer, but I keep crashing down hard
This is my side of the story
Only my side of the story
And nobody cares, nobody's there, no one will hear
My side of the story

Emptiness its all around me, I try to catch my breath, barely surviving
I cant go on and I've come undone there's nothing left in me
Hold on, don't turn and walk away
Save me

And I cry these words, but nobody came
I'm all alone, running scared, losing my way in the dark
I tried to get up, stand on a prayer, but I keep crashing down hard
This is my side of the story
Only my burden to bear
And nobody cares, nobody's there, no one will hear

As I fall down, hold on
As I fall away
I cry these words and nobody came
I'm all alone, running scared, losing my way in the dark
I tried to get up, stand on a prayer, but I keep crashing down hard
This is my side of the story
Only my side of the story
My side of the story
Only my burden to bear
Nobody cares, nobody's there, no one will hear
My side of the story

Realize by Colbie Cailat.

Take time to realize that your warmth is crashing down on in.
Take time to realize that I am on your side.
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
But I can't spell it out for you.
No, it's never gonna be that simple.
No, I can't spell it out for you.

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other,
And we'll never find another.
Just realize what I just realized,
We'd never have to wonder,
If we missed out on each other now.

Take time to realize,
Oh, oh, I'm on your side.
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Take time to realize this all can pass you by.
Didn't I tell you?
But I can't spell it out for you.
No, it's never gonna be that simple.
No, I can't spell it out for you.

If you just realize what I just realized,
Than we'd be perfect for each other,
And we'll never find another.
Just realize what I just realized,
We'd never have to wonder,
If we missed out on each other oh.

It's not the same.
No, it's never the same,
If you don't feel it too.
If you meet me halfway,
If you would meet me halfway,
It can be the same for you.

If you just realize what I just realized,
Than we'd be perfect for each other,
And we'll never find another.
Just realize what I just realized,
We'd never have to wonder...

Just realize what I just realized,
If you just realize what I just realized... ooh ooh.
Missed out on each other now.
Missed out on each other now.

Realize, realize, realize, realize, oh.

Quote!

I quote from the movie, 'Patch Adams',

"You're focusing on the problem. If you focus on the problem, you can't see the solution. Never focus on the problem!
See what no one else sees. See what everyone chooses not to see... out of fear, conformity or laziness. See the whole world anew each day!"

21 Guns by Green Day.

"Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins..."
