On a high.

I'm in such a total high from that big leap I made yesterday and I can't wait about what to do next!

I already swore to my friend that we'd have our ears pierced together in about two weeks!!! So exciting.

After that.. I'm thinking I'm gonna go on and get that tattoo!!! Look at what I've decided to get...

Leap of Faith

When you find yourself one day, lower than the lowest state you thought possible, there is nowhere to go but up. Keep the faith. Don't lose the hope.. Because you will never ever know when life will take you by surprise.

You want your two eyes open when God gives you the answer to all those questions you've been longing to ask. And you know what, God knows best. He knows what can get you back up on your feet. And it happens in the weirdest of days, in the most unexpected moments.

that's why it's just so hard to give up on life. because although it can hurt you like a bitch, it will always always bring back your desire to live it.

Today I'm so excited to say that I made a very big leap. It's excruciating not to shout to the world how free I feel. Even if I'm not there yet, my body, my mind and my heart, are already there. It's like they are already there waiting for my arrival. I feel like this could be one of the craziest things that I've done in my 27 years of existence.. but you know what, I vowed to make things happen in 2011 and now I'm doing it. Positive Articulation. By repairing myself first, I can give more to others when I'm finally fixed. I can't wait!!!

how to make 2011 a better year than the last.

It's been two years now, that I start the year battered and bruised. And I don't think I'd want a third. So this brings me to the point where I look back on what has gone wrong before and to acknowledge the mistakes that I've made.

These are the things NOT to do in 2011:

1. Believe that fairy tales happen in real life. Hello, they are called fairy tales for a reason.

2. Jump to conclusions, make assumptions or make impulse decisions about anything or anyone. Take time to know the person and also consider ALL sides of the situation.

3. Think too much of what other people will think when you do something that really makes you happy. You are living your own life and they can live theirs the way that they want it.

4. Give up on lifelong dreams. They can come true any day now...

5. Buy expensive and unnecessary things. The time has come to save up. We are not getting any younger and as long as we have plans in the future, it is safe to have some money saved up.

6. Deprive yourself of vacation. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't always remember that sometimes, vacation can be a state of mind.

7. Only think about yourself. Widen your perspective. You'll see that there is a much bigger world out there.

8. Listen to other people's negativity. Control your own thoughts. Fill it with positive ones.

9. Be lazy. Time is still as valuable as gold. Do as many things as you can in any given time.

10. Be afraid to try new things, may it be sports, restaurants, places to go to.. You will never know what you're missing.

11. Say everything that pops up in your head. Discretion is key. And, if you have nothing good to say, SHUT UP.

12. Lose your temper easily. Just breathe in and out. Then proceed with a smile.

13. Forget to pray. And to always thank God for all the blessings that he has given and is still giving you.

14. Be ashamed to tell people that you love them. Tomorrow might not come. And it will only be a big regret.

15. Hold on to negative feelings. It will just bring you down. And other people around you as well.

16. Give your trust too easily. Because even though there is goodness in everyone, let's admit that most of them will gladly take advantage of you.

17. Be swamped with work, school and everything else. Give yourself fifteen minutes each day not to talk to the Lord, but to just LISTEN.

18. Compare your life with others. God has plans for EACH ONE of US. And what's yours is the best for you. Trust him.

19. Take your friends for granted. Keep only the few good friends. Quality trumps quality. All the time.

20. Stop yourself from falling in love.

When you're beat.. learn to concede.

I've been a fighter. I've never been a quitter. But I'm not stupid. I'm not insensitive. Though nearly numb.

I will fight for you as long as there's fight in me. A chance, I see, that there's hope for you and me. Until now, I've been waiting for that sign and until now, I still haven't seen it. I'm trying to be patient here, but everything has limits.

This is mine, right here.

I did try.

I'm done. We're done.

Trying to.



Our little secret just might be the kind of thing that you can’t hide
It’s growing like a tangled vine & rising like a river in the tide
And everybody knew when you walked into the room
I was just a fool for you, nothing I could do
Everybody sees you taking control of me
Well I’m not begging for release
I’m just begging darling please, please

Act naturally
Don’t let our troubles show
Don’t let anybody know
Till we get it figured out
Don’t give them anything that they could doubt

Our little problem doesn’t seem to be about to go away
As far as I can tell it’s gonna keep on showing more with every day
And everybody look, yeah, that was all it took
I can’t help believing they can read me like a book
So hide your feelings tight till we figure how to make it right
I don’t know what I should but i
Would do it if I could

Act naturally
Just be you beautiful
Just be you casual
I’ll be me before the fall
You be you before this all came down
(act naturally)
Don’t let our troubles show
Don’t let anybody know
Till we get it figured out
Don’t give them anything that they could doubt
Act naturally (remove this line)
Just be you beautiful
Just be you casual
I’ll be me before the fall
You be you before this all came down

There is more to this count-up than the eye can see.

13 days.

It took 13 days for things to go back to how they were.

I only had hopes for this. It's not at all disappointing, I guess I saw this coming.

I said let's see, and that's what I'm doing. Seeing.

Kids have reason to be childish

Children never fail to disappoint.

When you have a bad day, just a hug. Just a smile from them. Just a kiss. When they say a word that they have never said before. These are the instant pick-me-uppers only kids can give.

They are children. Hence, the word, childish.

If you are not a child, you are permitted to be childish once in a while. But not all the time. And we have to make sure that someone is there to pull us back to our mature selves, cos if not, we're just big children running around the city, pretending to be adults, but really we're not.

All of us will have a specific time to actually grow up. Cos maturity definitely does not come with age. it's a choice.
