Is love overrated?

2008-05-22T23:42:00.000-07:00

What is love?
Have you been in love or tell someone “I love you”, your family member not counted la.
I think the sentiment of love has been twisted and manipulated in order to suit each one’s need. People says “I love you” because it becomes an obligation or just to evoke some feelings that don’t arise genuinely. In this current world does true love still exist? All I can see is that love comes along with materialistic needs and desire.

We see couples get together and binding one another in relationships. Is that what you called love? Once upon a time marriages used to be based on true love. It is now only based on money, status and fame. This is some comments I’m sure you heard before, “I’m saving money to get married”, “I got no money to get married la” or “wait till I earn more money first”, “ aiyah he’s nice, caring and even got huge package(giggles) but too bad he don’t even owned a car”. So I guess people rather opt for security than affection.

For some love means sacrifice. In a relationship, we are known to give up things for the person they love. We adjust and compromise because that is how they are conditioned to sustain the loving bond. But does that really help? It only makes us feeling miserable thinking it is for the best but in the end we’re left with nothing.

I still want believe that I’ll find true love and that destiny will bring us together or it’s just a myth. So is love overrated?

Flashback

2008-04-15T00:31:00.000-07:00

It's been more than a year

Whenever I have flashback of you

I still feel the emptiness you left behind

You've been great all along

Even though I have my ambiguities

Wherever you are, I wish you well

Take care

2007

2007-12-12T06:54:00.000-08:00

Friends got married
Won a few random competitions
Performed in front of a small crowd
Heartbroken
Lost my best friend which I shared my life with
Made some mistakes at work
Made some wrong turns in life
Broke my ankle in succession
Fell very sick
Admitted to hospital
Trying to find a place to move out or move my family out, haha
Met new friends
Emotionally and physically breakdown
Picked myself up
Still looking for faith
I tell you my life is like those peoples in drama series, cannot remember all but,
Most important I’m still alive for 2008
My high and lows of 2007, what’s your?

Human by Jon Mclaughlin

2007-09-20T14:08:00.000-07:00

Can you tell me how we got in this situation
I can't seem to get you off my mind
All these ups and downs they
They trip up our good intentions
Nobody said this was an easy ride

After all, we're only human
Always fighting what we're feeling
Hurt instead of healing
After all we're only human
Is there any other reason
Why we stay instead of leaving
After all

Can we get back to the point in this conversation
Where we saw things through each other's eyes
Cause now all I see is ruin and devastation
We all need some place we can hide inside

After all, we're only human
Always fighting what we're feeling
Hurt instead of healing
After all we're only human
Is there any other reason
Why we stay instead of leaving

I'm smart enough to know that life goes by
And it leaves a trail of broken hearts behind
If you feel I'm letting go, just give me time
I'll come running to your side
Can you tell me how we got into this situation
I can't seem to get you off my mind

After all, we're only human
Always fighting what we're feeling
Hurt instead of healing
After all we're only human
Is there any other human [2x]

The Run

2007-09-19T06:45:00.000-07:00

The 5km marathon run we entered went by so quickly
You running by my side meant a great deal to me
I’ve made some wrong turns but you’re always there to correct them
During the run, we made a few stops to catch our breath and to refill our thirst
At one point we both wanted to give up
Both of us were exhausted and tired
But the strength in us kept us going
We did hell of a good job supporting each other didn’t we?
If not for your good sense of direction, we wouldn’t made this far
Halfway through the run, I accidently tripped and hurt myself
I tried to regain my composure to continue the run
But you didn’t want to wait because I’ll only slow you down
I tried my best to chase and look for you
But you have already reached the finish line

Memories

2007-07-15T23:22:00.000-07:00

Memories are all that remains,

Of a perfect love gone wrong,

Memories of your warm smile,

Of your soft loving caresses,

And your sweet tender kisses,

Memories so bitter yet so sweet,

Where my lips curl into a smile,

Yet the joy never to reach my eyes,

As unbidden tears streak down,

Memories of a classic love story,

That ended on a rain soaked day,

As if the sky saw and empathized,

And wept along with my heart,

Moments we had spent together,

Will live and last forever,

As unforgettable memories,

To be played over and over,

Memories are all that I have left,

Of a love that once burned bright,

Now masked, dimmed and dying,

But it is in this eternal moment,

That I love you the most,

But it is too late to turn back now,

For we have taken a one way road,

To memories and might have been,

And used up all our given chances,

So now, while I hurt and ache,

I will also pray, hope and wait,

For a gentle and loving heart,

To heal and revive this love broken soul,

And give a new home to this orphaned heart...…

The 90/10 Principle by Stephen Covey

2007-03-28T10:48:00.000-07:00

Discover the 90/10 Principle.
It will change your life.
What is the 90/10 Principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.
What does this mean?

We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down.
The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.
A driver may cut us off in traffic.
We have no control over this 10%.
The other 90% is different.You determine the other 90%.
How? By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction.
Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example.
You are eating breakfast with your family.
Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt.
You have no control over what just had happened.
What happens next will be determined by how you react.
You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.
She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table.
A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.
Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.
After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school.
Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye.
After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase.
Your day has started terribly. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse.
You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.
Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is D.

You had no control over what happened with the coffee.
How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry.
You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time." Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and Your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus.
She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff.
Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference?
Two different scenarios.
Both started the same. Both ended different. Why?
Because of how you REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens.
The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.

If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge.
Let the attack roll off like water on glass.
You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!
React properly and it will not ruin your day.
A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, Getting stressed out etc.
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper?
Pound on the steering wheel?
A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off! Do you curse?
Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?

WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later work?
Why let the cars ruin your drive?
Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated?
It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day.
Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant?
She has no control over what is going on.
Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger.
Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle.
Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.
You will lose nothing if you try it.
The 90-10 principle is incredible.
Very few know and apply this principle.
The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache.
There never seem to be a success in life.
Bad days follow bad days.
Terrible things seem to be constantly happening.
There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships.
Worry consumes time.
Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest.
Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel.
Does this describe you?
If so, do not be discouraged.
You can be different!
Understand and apply the 90/10 principle.
It will change your life.

It changes mine.

Virgin Brides

2006-03-02T20:02:00.000-08:00

you guys probably read this somewhere before, just to light up your day

A mother had 3 virgin daughters. They were all getting married within a short time period. Because Mom was a bit worried about how their sex life would get started, she made them all promise to send a postcard from the honeymoon with a few words on how marital sex felt.

The first girl sent a card from Hawaii two days after the wedding. The card said nothing but "Maxwell House". Mom was puzzled at first, but then went to the kitchen and got out the Maxwell House jar. It said, "good, till the last drop".

Mom blushed, but was pleased for her daughter. The second girl sent the card from Vermont a week after the wedding, and the card read: "Benson & Hedges". Mon now knew to go straight to her husband's cigarettes, she read from the B & H pack: "Extra Long. King Size". She was again slightly embarrassed, but still happy for her daughter.

The third girl left for her honeymoon in the Caribbean. Mom waited for a week nothing. Another week went by and still nothing. Then, after a whole month, a card finally arrived. Written on it shaky words: "British Airways". Mom took out her latest Harper Bazaar magazine, flipped through the pages, fearing the worst and finally and finally found the ad for the airline. The ad said: "Three times a day, seven days a week, both ways".

Mom fainted.

My Life

2006-03-01T22:50:00.000-08:00

Soccer or football
It's whatever you like to call
It is my favourite game
Pass me the ball, and I'll put you to shame

Creating goals is what I do best
Dribbling and flair is what I possess
Finding the net is the biggest test
On the field, I’m nothing but the BEST
