No Regrets.

Re-checking myself.. Thinking about what I want, my goals, my dreams, my plans... Checking once again those priorities that I've already set...

Am I doing the right thing? Am I still on the right track?

Minutes of contemplating... Well, I think I could say, it's a yes. Besides, I have no plans of wasting my life...For the fact that I could only live once, I can never afford to buy another life.

Decisions..decisions...decisions... Thank you God for giving me parents who guide me for every big decision I make.

Now I'm checking my life once again. -At this point, I see something bright.. If I continue this path, maybe I could reach that bright side.

Still happy with life. I have no regrets.

....

After a year of being a graduate of management accounting, i am planning to go back to schooling again and try to finish another course.. I miss school. I miss having classmates. I miss the feeling of time pressure during exams. I miss getting busy.


I have my work now, but it's quite different.. I don't get busy much. I'm not time pressured. Actually, i'm really bored. I feel like i'm stuck with a routine. Wake up by 7, work up to 5, go home, sit in front of comp to play, eat dinner, sleep, then wake up and go to work again. I want something new. I want something different. I want to explore new things. I want to achieve more. I want to meet new people. i want to meet people of almost the same age as i am..


I'm actually confused of what course to take. It's either taking up masters in business administration, or proceed to accountancy or take up law. Three options. But i'm a little doubtful with taking up law. Though papa is a law graduate, he can help me with that, still i am not sure with it. Masteral and accountancy are the sure options.


My college best friend aiza is taking up her masters right now in um, but, personally, i'd like to take accountancy more than masters. Besides, mama wants me to choose accountancy..so i think that would be a better choice.

BROKEN FRIENDSHIP

People say, "When someone takes you for granted and leaves, it's their loss, not yours." Maybe yes, i do agree. So okay, if you really wanna leave, then you can. I'll still remember you though, just like I remember everyone that leaves. And I'll still remember too, that bittersweet friendship you've once shared with me.

I'm just a little disappointed coz I really thought our friendship was real. I thought you are one of those people who can accept me for who i am, no ifs, no buts. But then it's just so weird and sudden, you're now acting differently. Like you're back to being a stranger once again.

Maybe, you've unveiled your real self now. So, this is the real you. And that real you just can't accept me for being who i am. So, okay, that's alright. I guess, 'goodbye' is the right word to say, coz I can no longer stay.

com.pli.ca.ted.

I miss the way things used to be. But sometimes, some things are just not meant to be.... Some.times.things.just.get.com.pli.ca.ted. Sometimes, things don't go the way we wanted it to be. No matter how hard we try to make things alright, sometimes some things just can't go right.

God has His own reasons. I will no longer ask why. ♥

The Strange Thing About LOVE. ♥

The strange thing about love is that it can make your heart beat faster, and the strange thing about love is that it can make you laugh and then cry. The strange thing about love is that it's uneven: in this life, you may be loved by someone you don't love back, and you may love someone who doesn't return your love. *aww*

The strange thing about love is that it's always worth it, and the strange thing about love is that it is always there somewhere in your life. The strange thing about love is that you have to believe in it for it to be true, and the strange thing about love is that, even if it's a different story than you expected, somehow it all works out.

Love is strange, isn't it? But trust in it... and you will be all right. :)

One Sided Love. ♥

No complications, no attachments, no commitments. I guess this idea of one-sided love is perfect for me. Having him see me as a friend or as a little sister is good enough. Besides, if ever he loves me back, our love will only ruin his plans.. and i don't wanna let it happen.. So I'd rather stay in this corner and watch him leave.. Hoping that sooner in time this feeling would fade away as well.

The Big Box.

I am afraid of the future, coz I am never certain of what awaits me whenever I get there. It seems to be like a big box waiting for me and I never know what's inside. It's like pieces of jigsaw puzzle, scattered around, still being completed by me. Or like an unfinished painting, that sooner I may call my very own masterpiece.

We always talk about the future. It is something to be anticipated. It is future, every time a 5-yr old boy talks about his dreams and the things he wants to do when he gets older.. Or when a teenage girl patiently waits for that one special boy whose spaces between his fingers fit hers perfectly..

The thing we call future, soon to be present, sooner will become the past. Yes, definitely, I am afraid of the future. I never know what it's like. Will it be the same as what I often wish for? I hope so. :)

Chocolate Love~

Yes, I'm 21 years old, too young to get married or to find that one true love, yet too old for that so-called puppy love. I've been in this world for 21 years yet up to this time, I've never been in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with anyone, never been in that one sweet first kiss, never been in my very own fairy tale love story.

It will be a lie if I say there's no one who tried to get my attention. There are quite some, who dared to start, yet I just simply ignored and then eventually they'll stop. So I'd rather say, no one has ever started, they just dared to start, that's it, no one has ever courted me.

I admit, it's my fault though, since there's something in me that tries to block boys whenever they try to get close, even if I say I'd love to try, there is just something inside of me that doesn't want to.

I won't say I've never been inlove though, coz it is simply not true. As I've always said, I'm inlove with the concept of love. I so love the idea itself. Love itself. Concepts of love I took from novels I've read, movies I've seen or from music I've heard. And there are plenty of times that I've created my own idea of love too. There are quite sometimes that I've formed a fairy-tale love story inside my mind, some with tragic end and some with an "and they lived happily ever after" ending.

It is just so weird how I think I understand the concept of love so much yet I've never encountered such an intimate kind of love before. I see another simple reason, aside from the concepts of love I've read, seen and heard, it might be also because a lot of people love me, my family, friends, random people whom I knew, my dog, including myself too and even those strangers who show they care. It might not be an intimate kind of love but still, it is the same love.

Yes, I'm 21 years old, might be too old for that so-called puppy love but still young to find that one true love. Sooner, in time, I know I will be able to encounter that too. I'm not waiting for it to happen, instead I am making the most of my immature life, who doesn't want to fall in that one true love yet. ♡ ♡ ♡

Who needs a boyfriend?

I DON'T NEED A BOYFRIEND!! coz I've got my GIRLFRIENDS!! ^_^

When we get together, the fun never ends!! ^_^

things happen for a reason... just believe ♥

Time goes, never stops, it runs, and life goes on.

It has been three months since the last time we had a direct talk. Three months of still wishing, dreaming and thinking. I am not afraid to tell you that I love you coz I know you feel the same way too. But this is not yet our time.....

I'm sorry for I still get sad every time I miss you. Though, you told me to just close my eyes and feel your presence.. It's no more enough..

When am I going to see you again? I really want to see you yet I am truly, incredibly afraid of what will happen then :( coz I don't wanna get hurt or others to get hurt..

I try my very best to move on, but it's taking me a hard time.. maybe it's because our love story has never come to an end yet, our love story still continues and goes on...

Time runs, life goes on, but only one thing stays the same: memory. Our bittersweet memories that I've collected since then - forever I will treasure.♥

---this is not about me, okay? i wrote this simply because I'm inspired to write about certain things that time. simply created by my imaginative mind, no more, no less. ;)

I ♥ Papa

You're the best man that owns the very first place in my heart. :)
Happy Father's Day Papa! ♥♥♥

♥

The noise of raindrops made me stay awake
Cold wind blows, chilling me to the bones
I hugged my pillow tight and put the blanket on
Played some music, started to dream on

I realized for all this time I'm still dreaming of you
But for tonight I want myself to forget everything about you
Tonight, no more thinking of you like the way I used to
Tonight, no more stalking your page
Tonight, no more dreaming, no more crying, no more wishing

Just for tonight I don't wanna think of you like the way I used to
Just for this cold rainy night, no more wishing and praying for you
I hate my self coz up to this time I still never stop thinking of you.
I wanna ask you, "Do you still think of me at night, like I always do?"

Suzzane's Diary for Nicholas

just finished reading "Suzzane's Diary for Nicholas"..

That book has been left unattended for months. But i got a feeling just around 10pm last night, i need to read it. I saw it on the computer table in our living room, i asked my sister if that was new. She said in reply "No. I told you to read that before but you never did." I grabbed the book, i turned off my computer and jumped on my bed, and i started reading. I didn't turn the tv off, coz if i might find the book boring, i can still watch tv. But then, it was a good book and didn't notice that i'm already done reading by 12am today.

I didn't realized that tiny droplets of water started to drip from the corner of my eyes while reading that book. As I continue reading, I gave myself some pauses, few seconds to ponder upon the story and the lessons behind it. The diary may look a little simple but it is indeed full of joy and pain, full of thoughts about life, and about love lost and found.

I pay attention to every lesson that Suzanne wrote for Nicholas. And this one struck me the most:

"Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends and integrity - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the begginings of balance in your life."

Recently, I prayed to God and told Him that I'm willing to sacrifice something just to give me the job that I want. I'm starting to like my job right now, but I don't think it's not enough. Coz I know I deserve more. But then, the book changed my mind. No, work isn't that important, and if there is a need to sacrifice anything, it's the ball called "work" and nothing else.

"Bad stuff does happen sometimes, Nicholas. Always remember that, but remember that you have to move on somehow. You just pick your head up and stare at something beautiful like the sky or the ocean, and you move the hell on." - I do agree with this! Just like how good things can happen, bad things may happen too. I think it's okay to cry for a while. It's normal. But we have to move on and that's all, we don't have to forget.

We don't have to forget. Most important is not to forget all the good memories that life has given us. Coz.. Good memories are like charms and each memory is special. We have to collect them one by one, until one day we look back and discover that they make a long, colorful bracelet. Yes, it's true. Few days ago, I've been spending quality time with my mom and I've been telling her stories about what have happened during the past when i was still a little kid until those memories I made recently. My mom was amazed that I can still remember every detail, even though some had happened more than 15 years ago. Whether happy memories or sad, I told my mom everything I remembered, everything I felt. It was good. I realized today how wonderful the bracelet I've made!

"Life doesn't go on forever. Enjoy every moment of it."

That book changed both my mind and heart. And I think, it made me a better person now. ♥
