A Year Older , A Year Wiser...


June 27th...it's here...reminding me - a year older, a year wiser (?). Sigh. I’ve been fortunate and blessed. I’ve been given room and a safe environment to make mistakes. Because of this, I succeed. I’ve been far from perfect, but those around me have more than made up for it (strangers and friends alike) I’ve been trusted with the opportunity to speak to others as well as speak for others and I’m thankful for that.The ultimate goal is to be more satisfied.

"Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
- Lao Tzu


So, here goes...Happy Birthday To Me :)

a tribute to my dad

It's been 8 years dad passed...and it is still hard for me to accept the fact. I dun need his birthdays & father's day to reminisce about him....but these are the extra special days when we really miss dad. It hurts everytime and breaks my heart. So...here's to dad...Happy Father's Day pa...

Life Lessons
You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The person I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

Carpe Diem !

My recent posts talked a lot about values of friendship. Things happen in life for a reason. I know -sometimes it is  hard to accept the reality...but life goes on. Constant regrets and the feeling "if only I could turn back time" remains cluttering our mind & heart. The ones is my mind is - I should've been more careful! Cos only as time passess you will eventually come to know about people.

Now, I would like to move on... If  there's a devise I can use to erase everything - that would be great ! Unfortunately - none. Sigh ! nevermind. I have a lot more in life to ponder about than some people who is not worth my time.

hating someone is not good, i know. No matter how despise, angry or frustrated I am with someone. People will be people. I know I've done my part as a friend. The more i hold onto this pent up rage, the worse for me. I need to let peoples actions and words roll off of my back. Realize that they don't matter in my life and focus on the good things in life. True... i have some great things in life I cherish. Moving forward, I should blog about something else that matters.

God - Forgive me, bless me and please avoid me meeting this person ever!

Gotta go...time to change !

Enough Is Enough !

u know how sometimes people tend to screw your day or your mood without even being present there...well, it has been happening to me lately.

what makes me smile is...when people say they understand & love you as a close friend,only to throw words that don't even justify the so-called-friendship. my late father always reminded his daughters- be careful with what you say to others, because it is difficult retract words. think before you say anything.

it is so easy for someone to accuse you of  belittling them, being coward and so on. it hurts when this someone claims you are their close friend. well, news flash, it does not seem so. i am a firm believer that in friendship you don't judge. you accept them as who they are.

i dun tell my friends how to act in any situation. as a friend, i will be there, i listen, i advice, i share, i feel but never judge. how you react to smthg or what you decide, is solely your choice. as a friend i can learn to adapt or understand but not accuse just because it is done not according to my rule. Well, that's me.

Why is being silent so wrong ? How sure are you talking or arguing will not make thing worst ? Sometimes people resort being silent to avoid confrontation or arguements. just let them be. Praise david tyson who said "True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable". obviously none here.

Fine, once confronted and things are going well.. who screws it up again. For the first time, i am being called lame & hiding behind my work. Mind you - it's from the same person who 'loves' me as a friend. Like I said...I will not judge. The moment this 'friend' listed all my flaws, i understood clearly. i am no prime minister or the secretary general but does that make my life or job less important. well it was my mistake because i tot u'd understand as my friend...my bad. bottom line, i dun have to justify to those who dun even care to understand. what hurt the most was when someone without properly asking you lash out at you with sentences like "you think we are a phone company"? seriously ?? you ? my close friend ? yeah rite !

we have a tendency to think that our way of seeing the world is accurate or ‘correct.’ However, there are many different types of people, all with a different way of seeing things.Sometimes you are going to meet individuals with a very different way of looking at things, so much so, perhaps, that you can hardly agree about anything at all. The key here is to genuinely try to put yourself in the other person’s position and try to see the world as he does.
fine with me..as long as i have conscience & i know that i have treated them right. only God knows. i dun know about others but let me make it clear here - i am not showing off or hiding behind my blog posts. what i say reflect what i am. i've had enough...find a friend that suits your standards. God bless! Adios ! Period !
