She made my day;

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

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!

"..When it's just me and you

who knows what we could do

if we can just make it through

the toughest part of the day.."

[Staind; Everything Changes]

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

Doubts aside;

Putting doubts aside,

life has been good

and I have never been happier

in spite

of

the

struggles

every

now

and

then.
