Why?

Today I saw a picture & I cried.

Today I saw a picture which made me ask, "Why?"

I am trying to rationalise what I saw though I am pretty sure it won't be easy.

Word to the wise girl;

When you really want something, you will achieve it no matter what people say.

"Just A Dream" by Nelly - Christina Grimmie & Sam Tsui

First heard this on a dear friend's blog and I must say, its an awesome cover. Wonderful! :)

Love, love, love;

I love CM to bits!!

Awesome! CM oh CM, I love you so! Ha ha!

Have you?

Have you ever thought of saying so many things to someone but ended up not saying even one thing which you wanted to say?

Say it. Just say it. Get it off your mind for once. Easier said than done, don't you think? I know. I know it all too well. Hehe.

Oh well. Smile! :)

Last?

Aiman-Cinta Terakhir

Kau Cinta pertamaku

Engkau cinta terakhirku

Tiada apa yang bisa menafikan kasih kita...

Kau ayu dimataku

Satu antara seribu

Tiada tara didunia...

Mungkin kan terputus di tengah jalan

Mungkin kan terlerai tanpa ikatan

Usah ragu dengan takdir...

Mungkin kitakan berbeza haluan

Berakhirnya cerita percintaan

Segalanya ditentukan Tuhan....

Kelakar ke pe, hana tiba tiba fikir pasal cinta. Tsk tsk. Rasa rasanya tidak perlu kan?

Hello world;

There are so many wonderful people in this world. These people, they are so beautiful within in spite of the hard times they have went through. They just keep standing tall. The beauty within them sparks as an inspiration! Maybe if you know someone like this, you will know what I am talking about. What a blessing, really.

I love myself;

I love myself for who I am.

Who you are;

"You don't know about real loss, 'cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much."

- Good Will Hunting.

The perfect song;

"I miss you so much,
Your light, your smile, your way
And everything about us
Through you're gone,
You're still here
In my heart, in my tears,
Yeah, you sure left your mark,
And we were just getting started."

- Rascal Flatts

I haven't figure it out yet;

Where is the answer?

Sing along!

"When I get older, I will be stronger They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag.."

-K'naan, Wavin' Flag

Tough Stuff

In the book Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul, there was a question which goes like this:

Write here what advice you would give to someone who is feeling suicidal.

This was what I wrote:

"Don't get fooled by anything negative. Problems and trials in life have a way of making it seem like it's all much harder than it is. Don't even be ashamed to feel like you have thought of suicide. You won't believe how many people have actually thought of ending their life at one phase or another but managed to brush off the thought off their mind. We all falter. We all fail sometimes.

Once you give in to problems, you are almost doomed unless you decide to rise from challenges. Each time you rise, you are nurturing the strength inside of you. You may be surprise. Speaking from experience, most of the time you are much stronger than you think you are.

You think you are suffering? Well, guess what, millions of people feel the same way from all sorts of different reasons. You can't find a reason why and you feel like there's no way out. Millions of people out there struggle to make it through their days.

I am not going to say, if they can survive, why can't you?

All I want to ask is, if everyone decide to commit suicide because of suffering, what is the point of strength, will and endurance? Where is your sense of worth then?"

I know this is a pretty heavy emotional post but I believe it's important for you and for me to know that we all matter.

Sing with me!

'Cause it's you and me and all other people
with nothing to do,
nothing to lose

and it's you and me
and all other people
and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off you ..."

- You And Me by Lifehouse

TIll The End Of Time

"They're just words, they ain't worth nothing 
Cloud your head and push your buttons 
And watch how they just disappear 
When we're far away from here"
-Devotchka

Definition Of Life;

Life can be about one thing or a million of things. In the end, you create your own definition of life.

Laughed till I teared;

"I'm glad you're talking again, Dwayne. You're not nearly as stupid as you look."

- From the movie, Little Miss Sunshine.

I watched the movie 'Little Miss Sunshine' a while back. I must say it wasn't exactly what I expected. I expected a comedy. Turned out to be mostly reality. There was one scene which got me laughing till I teared up though.

I haven't really blog about anything except for quotes. I had to make an exception for this post. What can I say, the movie is worthy of praise. Thumbs up for the reality instilled in the movie!

Pay it forward will you?

"I think some people are too scared or something to think things can be different. I guess it's hard for some people who are used to things the way they are even if they're bad to change. And they kind of give up. When they do, everybody...they kind of loses."

- From the movie, Pay It Forward.

Courage;

"Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or mistake, but you're not supposed to question adults, or your coach or your teacher, because they make the rules. Maybe they know best, but maybe they don't. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn't at least one of the six hundred guys think about giving up, and joining with the other side? I mean, valley of death that's pretty salty stuff. That's why courage it's tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you're doing something. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, that's the real reason for you either do something or you don't. It's who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that's pretty good. I think that's what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too. "

- From the movie, The Blind Side.

Sometimes;

"Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals, and to imagine that together we can do great things.

In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible. "

— Caroline Kennedy

Bring back the colours!!

Why aren't the buildings colourful?
What if everything in this whole wide world is colourful?"

I can't wait for Charlie St Cloud! hehe.

Can't deny that one!

"It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,

an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone...

but it takes a lifetime to forget someone."

You have to believe that one! Well, maybe it won't take a lifetime to forget someone but certainly, it will take a long time. :)

Great love!

"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love."
- Mother Teresa

The miracle is you;

"I found miracles there in your eyes."
- Switchfoot

Yes, I found miracles in your eyes. It's so beautiful.

A prayer;

"I'm moving on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone..."
- Rascal Flatts

I think the last thing you will want to say
to a person who is grieving is "it's time you let go."
I'm speaking from experience, really.
Grief is different for everyone.
I  wish people will stop expecting so much out of other people,
thinking that they know what's best. 

Presently, a friend of mine just lost her loved one.
I realised I could not find the right words to say.
I just wanted her to know
that I will be there if she ever need someone.
I pray that no matter how long it takes,
her wounds will eventually heal. 

Sheer beauty;

"And how beautiful they really are. And that there's no need to hide, or lie. And that it's possible to talk to someone without any lies, with no sarcasms, no deceptions, no exaggerations or any of the things that people use to confuse the truth."
- From the movie, Powder.

This quote is the most beautiful thing I have heard and read today. Awesome!

Wonderful, beautiful day;

"I'll run until my heart breaks in"

- Yet by Switchfoot

It's been a very meaningful day so far!
Thank you to each of you who made smile.

Salute;

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."

*Mahatma Ghandi*

How many people can actually do that; be the change they wish to see in the world? I salute those who actually practice what they preach.

I think so too;

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

*Maya Angelou*

Glad;

"I’m glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song, seems like we just got started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone."

*Dr Seuss*

What's your perception?

"There's no greater purpose than service to others."

*Peaceful Warrior*

I’m choosing to be true to myself regardless of any circumstances.

From the book, Sark’s new creative companion (Ways To Free Your Creative Spirit).

Delta Goodrem's Fragile is so BEAUTIFUL!

"Sometimes I feel like I'm alone

Sometimes I feel like I'm not that strong
Sometimes I feel so frail so small
Sometimes I feel vulnerable
Sometimes I feel a little fragile"

I have sorrows too. :)
Sorrows makes life a bittersweet journey!

Kata Hati;

Mendengarkan lagu itu,
aku terkenangkan dirimu
yang dekat di pandangan mata
namun terlalu sukar untukku gapai.

Wooooooohooooooo. I am writing in malay! So good to know that I can still come up with one verse of poetry!

How I LOVE writing!

*Author Unknown*

It's possible;

A year ago, I blogged - "I would love to make it known to all someday if there ever comes a day when I brim with joy without feeling hurt at all. Maybe that is going to be a proof of real happiness."

Presently, I am grateful to say that I have felt joy without feeling hurt at all. I forgot all about my hurt and I realised happiness is possible.

Ryan Cabrera; On the way down

"on the way down, I saw you
And you saved me from myself
And I won't forget the way you loved me
On the way down i almost fell right through
But I held onto you..."

I Love You!

Listen to your gut!

"Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something... and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!"
*Rocky Balboa*

YES, so true. This inspires!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Never Had A Dream Come True by S Club 7

"I never had a dream come true 'til the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on you'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
(Never found the words to say)
You're the one I think about each day
(The one I think about each day)
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you"

This inspires!

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life but it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth but you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

From the movie, 'Rocky Balboa'.

People say what they say knowing what they know;

Nicholas Sparks wrote,

"You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love."

How true. :)

Protect your dreams;

"Hey... Don´t ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something. Not even me... Alright? You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period."
(Christopher Gardner)

Got me thinking;

From the movie, 'Remember Me':

"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it, because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says, "you're nowhere near ready." But the other half says, "make her yours forever."
Michael, Caroline asked me what I would say if I knew you could hear me.
I said I do know -
"I love you. God, I miss you and I forgive you."

How true;

Norman Vincent Peale once said,

"When you become detached mentally from yourself and concentrate on helping other people with their difficulties, you will be able to cope with your own more effectively. Somehow, the act of self-giving is a personal power-releasing factor."

and James Allen once said,

"Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built."
Quotes never fail to inspire! How awesome. (:

This song makes me happy!

"If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh, oh.."

*A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton*

She made my day;

Isn't it just adorable, the mini cornettos?! My godmother made my day simply by giving me ice cream. (:

Quote:

"Some of the shells that wash up on the beach were once very beautiful, you don't know what kind of journey they had to take to get them in there fragile shape, same with people, be kind."

*Linda Gifford*

Rise or Fall;

"Having more does not keep you from wanting more. And if you always want more -to be richer, more beautiful, more well known, you are missing the bigger picture and I can tell you from experience, happiness will never come...

The secret of happiness according to the Reb is, Be satisfied. Be grateful for what you have, for the love you receive. And for what god has given you. That's it."

*From the book 'Have A Little Faith' by Mitch Albom*

I couldn't agree more! I love Mitch Albom's books. I am always looking forward to read his next book. I think the world is a much happier and meaningful place because of the wisdom & inspiration in his books! Isn't that just awesome, to know that you can touch people's life through your words. Its such a blissful feeling! I am utterly grateful!

This simply reminds me of how much I love writing.

What do you think?

You're beautiful;

"When my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you"

*Miley Cyrus; When I Look At You.*

I am so, so grateful for you.

Lovely lyrics;

'When I Look At You' by Miley Cyrus is such a lovely song. I'm actually singing to it. (:

"Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love but it doesn't mean you love them any less. Sometimes, it even makes you love them more."

From the movie, 'The Last Song.'

Learning from the heart;

"It seems as if the more we let go, the more we experience love. Love is beyond everything else - anxiety, desire, hope, resentment. Love is openhearted, demands nothing, and needs nothing. It is more likely to visit when our desires are quiet, when we don't need or want much, and when we accept that everything we love is not permanent but is with us at this very moment."

*Daniel Gottlieb*

"I'll sing until my heart caves in; "

"Yeah, if it doesn't break your heart, it isn't love
Now if it doesn't break your heart, it's not enough
It's when you're breaking down with your insides coming out
It's when you find out what your heart is made up of.."

(Switchfoot;Yet)

"You know that I could use somebody..."

I briefly read through my past blog posts and I thought to myself, how far I've come! From grieving till I managed to feel bliss again in spite of the grief. I've come a long way. (:

Today Tina pointed out a quote to me:

"When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the one person who doesn't."
*Jodi Picoult (P.S: I love her novels!)

That quote was truly an eye opener!

"Off in the night
While you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat

I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody.."
(Kings Of Leon; Use Somebody)

I gotta love you, really. I can't help it. (:

Someday we'll know;

P.s: This is an entry from my journal dated *6th May 2010.

I felt an emotion

seeping gently through my soul.

At first,
I was overjoyed,
I was overjoyed
to feel a bliss
I had thought never existed.

Gradually, fear got the better of me.

I fear embracing happiness.
I fear embracing love.
I fear embracing what I deserve.

Someone told me once,
"I feel you're the most deserving person to be bless with good things..."

and I swear,
I wanted to believe in it.

I struggled
to crawl out of my comfort zone.
I struggled to get rid of the fear
bounded by my past.

I struggled
again
and
again.

I got SO close to embracing joy
but I turned my back.

I turned my back
on what could have been my solace.

I didn't stop trying.
I picked myself up again
until
I could laugh out loud with an open heart
and look into the eyes of my loved ones
and meant every word I said.

Just recently,
I learned to embrace Happiness.

Then, just when I thought
things were going to stay blissful,

I realised
nothing is constant,
not Joy,
not Sadness,
not Anger,
not Hope,
and never the good things in life.

What's meant to be hold
will eventually have to be let go.
It has always been a matter of time.

I started asking myself,
"What good is embracing Joy
if I knew right from the start it was never going to last?"

I had to..
Embracing happiness
was a choice I made
because I knew
if I never gave it a shot,
I would never have known
what I was worth.

Is it worth all the risks then?

I say, YES.
It's worth every struggle I put up with,
every doubt I learned to endure,
every ounce of fear I overcome.

Now, it is time
to let go again.

I've had a chance
to embrace Joy,

to experience
the most amazing emotion seeping right through my soul.

What more can I possibly ask for?

I cannot possibly be holding on
too tight to things
which are meant to come and go.

There was never a promise of forever.

Letting go means I would cry
the tears I suppressed.
Letting go means I would feel
the hurt of
an adversity in life.

Letting go means
it would take me sometime
to get over everything that comes with it.

I believe
I am meant
for some really wonderful blessings in life.

The belief have turned into a reality.
Only that with every reality
comes a whole lot of possibilities.

I am going to endure whatever comes.

Tears streamed down my face
like the river
which wouldn't stop flowing.

My heart aches
as if it is being shattered
and then put together all over again.

I never thought it would ache this bad.
I thought
nothing
could
ever
come
close
to the agony of losing my mother.

How wrong I was
because truth is,
the pain of losing someone
is very much similar
to the pain of letting go.

I gave happiness a shot.
I gave myself a chance.

Now,
it's just down to another phase of life
which would lead me
to another series of experiences.

A blessing
will always remain a blessing

if I choose to look at it as a wonder.

So what if it hurts?

What good is happiness without some sorrows?
What good is Love without Hurt?

I am utterly grateful. :)

I gotta love you;

"It's who you are, baby girl.
You see the beauty in everything
and everyone no matter where you go.
That part of you is never going to change and I won't let it."

Quote from Criminal Minds Season 5.

I love watching CM.

I LOVE YOU!

Memory!

P.S: This song reminds me of fond memories! (: (:

Doubts aside;

Putting doubts aside,

life has been good

and I have never been happier

of

and

then.

I Love You sign :)

P.S: This sign reminds of a good friend who is very good at heart. :)

It won't flow;

I am sad but I don't think I can cry. Somehow the tears won't flow like a river anymore. Haha. Why in the world am I talking about river now?

Well, I am just a little sadden by something but I am seriously sick of sadness. Sick and tired of it.

I am just going to continue to be happy as I can be and laugh my heart out. At least being happy doesn't come with a risk. It's a choice. :)

I am in LOVE with the song Amazed by Lonestar. It's so insanely beautiful!
"I don't know how you do what you do, I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better... every little thing that you do, baby I'm amazed by you.." Awwww. So sweeeeeet. :)
