Talking about "Alone"

I know there are people who think that the whole world revolves around them. I can't blame them if they are these world's narcissists...but to be asked to "leave me alone", that's deep.

Here's a piece of my mind:

"It's better be alone than be with someone who makes you feel alone."

Somebody's coming home soon...and somebody's gonna cry for sure.

Karma works in so many ways that you get exactly what you deserve and ask for.

Damn these narcissists..."leave me alone..." LOL!!!

Here is the road back to the old me

For the past few days, I may have been physically sick but 'twas the five days in which I have discovered the way back to my own self. Thank God for the people around me, I now re-discovered what I was and improved how I view the world. This world may have crushed me empty...for so long I struggled bringing back my old self, the lively, colorful, feisty and quite irresponsible me. All I am saying is that I may have suffered a great deal for the past few days but those were quite memorable and life-changing. Those days brought my back to ME.

cryptic huh? well that's how life is anyway. I may have suffered enough personal downfalls but it's up to me how I will rise above it, step on it and move forward with the life that I have. and I decide to embrace it fully, especially now that I have all the reasons to live...better reasons to look forward to waking up each day for a new day.

Self-centered

You wanna know the simplest meaning of being self-centered? Observe a toddler. Observe the way he or she constantly asks for things that will give instant gratification, without even bothering to give back anything in return.  Observe how he always serve and work only for his needs and convenience. As we people studying linguistics say, toddlers practices the most perfect first person "I" point of view in speech, and even in deed. It takes so much for them to change. Over time, children learn and improve this behavior. But there are people to gets stuck at this stage...making no bones of anything else but themselves when they are way past childhood.

“It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.”

- Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Russian novelist, Nobel Prize for Literature (1970).

Excuses Excuses

In life, you may complain about simple things like the heat or lengthy commutes. You can throw a fit over things like being ignored by the server in the fast food counter, which made you wait for hours just to grab a “fast” lunch, or just being ignored period. There are times when we get so easily pissed-off  by the most trivial things… like being asked to the nth time “are you okay?” when you are obviously not so let’s get our business done with. Now I know why some people sometimes act like jerks to unknowing bystanders…a nuisance.  But what can we do? We can’t help but feel miserable at times. My reason? I am sick with flu and I can’t beg off work, school or motherhood. At 39-degrees, I still have loads of paperwork and school runs to deal with. Bearing with niceties is real challenge when your headache drives you nuts. So give this woman a break will yah? Perhaps I should wear a shirt, “Beware: Jerk on the Loose!”

Mornings Like This

I am glad to have welcomed this day with you. Thank you for being my comfort zone...for the longest time. My heart was fluttering like butterflies the entire time. I can't even remember the last time I felt anything close to that. I never thought I could feel something like that again. You brought out the bubbly, lively and giggly girl in me.You made me realize that there is more to my life, like you always did every time I needed a reality slap.

Our agreement will stay. But no matter what happens, my love for you my dear one will never change. Thank you for wiping off my tears, for listening to my pains and for loving me just the way I am. With that said, I can say we may be looking for more mornings like this, together, hand locked...together.

Simply Fair

I am a simple person with simple needs and simple means. I know how complex life can be, that is why I opted for a life with nothing but my basic needs. As a daughter raised by her patient father, I have learned that although life is not always fair, it is my responsibility not to be the cause of such conflict to the lives of other people; to the people that I love and even to the people I never knew. I was taught never to cheat as I would not want to be cheated. I was taught to be patient for everything will run its course when the time is right. 

Ultimately, I was taught that in my life’s simplicity, people may see value in things that I have and that these people may take from me. As I was taught to learn my place in every circumstance, I was also taught to stand my ground and fight for what is mine. 

Silent Resilience

Why would anyone feel like a victim when there are no lost causes?

Self-pity is an excuse to do nothing. To appeal to sympathy for pity's sake is to seek affirmation of the choice to do nothing.

"I've been there, done that, and know suffering -- but it's all good. I'm still standing."
