Pursuit of Happiness

Blissed...

why? Coz a small part of my crankiness and moment of boredom has whittled away slowly after the return of some sweet moments. Yes the dramadee of soap opera is back! So it gave me this feel good factor in me yet again. Then, tomorrow's LONG OVERDUE gym workout will hopefully bring in some trigger happy moment in me yet again too. For quite a long while now, I have been drawn to the library which will give me at least 30 min of worry-free moment. Whatever it takes to make me forget about my dark period in life right now, I try to embrace it so long as it does not endanger my life or push me way down the bottomless pit further.

I have currently picked up a book which I have read halfway and then it makes me start to repiece my life back a bit like one big jigsaw puzzle. For now, it will be a long while before it is complete but while that will have to wait, I am just counting on piecing it together again and making sure that it does not get out of place again. I admit that I am like a convenient target for darting life's problems and misery of the world but I can take it and I am going to come out strong, better and wiser. No doubt about it. I learn to be a bit more thick skinned because only one video keep replaying in my mind right now and that is my family.

Nobody has it easy and even beyonce's family, yes that famous lookalike of mine....went through tough times. Her dad wanted her and her posse to make it as singers so much that he and his family came out of their comfort zone, suffered setback after setback, just to help these girls cut a record deal. The stress that they dealt with trying to adjust to their new life was too much to bear that her parents separated as all they ever did was to argue with each other.

But after the girls started to make a name for themselves, and cutting a record deal, they started to taste the sweetness of their sacrifices. Her parents got back together and the family became even more united than ever and their life was much more better than before.

Can you imagine if her dad had not given up that well paying job of his to manage the girls? Well, it was a huge risk because of the sheer number of talented singers in that country and all of them tried to make it big and not many have made it successful. But they did not give up and just gave their all working their butts off and just staying strong after one rejection and another. Even Kelly Clarkson, before she won the famous singing talent show, she had door after door close on her face when she tried to make it as a singer.

Now kelly and beyonce are not much different from me..age wise. But look where they are. Age is nothing but a number (but it still makes no sense to me to date younger guy..hee) and they are now wiser than before after having gone through tough times. They tried to realise their dreams while for me, I just try to make it work for my family. Of course I do wish things would be different and I would be pursuing my studies plus other interests and not having to worry about my family's finances day after day because it bores the heck out of me.

But it's okay. We can only plan but we will never know the outcomes but that doesnt mean we should not stop and think about ourselves. We only have one life to live. It's easier said than done but I suppose it's worth a try to pay more attention about the positive things in our life rather than just thinking about the negative side and also not to give up chasing after that one thing in our life: happiness.

Hopefully, things will look up for me.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
