traveling with high spirits

Traveling is an inevitable want. It definitely sounds so inviting and when people start to talk about it, you would never want to miss that very chance to go and be there yourself. For others, it is a gift to the oneself, for some, an outlet of relaxation. For me, traveling heals.

It sounds so sentimental but it really does. It helps me put my mind together and lets me focus harder on whatever it is that I have ahead of me. It solicits a lot of emotions that I can't get anywhere by just sitting down. A privilege to reconnect with yourself and at the same time the perfect moment to be with your friends.

I suggest that whenever you plan on going somewhere,

GO, then plan. ^^,

the feeling sucks

i love you ui!!!

a day's realization

I find it hard to listen to the echoes of my heart, or maybe i pretend not to hear it.
loving someone is a painful ordeal.. its a sacrifice, its something we can't always be happy about.loving someone is a risk I am willing to take over and over again. no matter how painful and how worst it gets. i embrace love regardless of anything, exhale deeply and tell myself, once this is over, i can be myself again. i envy those who look so happy together, it seems that i want to defy the heavens and ask for an explanation why I am in pain and they're not. more often, i fall in love with the wrong people, or maybe i'm just a coward. simple. i always want to love at a safer mode yet i think of the worst that could possibly happen without even starting anything at all. sometimes in this world, i wish the feeling would just be blown away far..far enough that i would't be able to do anything to get hold of it again.
it sucks when you feel something so deep for a person and then later find out its the worst case you could ever imagine... all because of the lousy line..."i like you"
i cry, wipe my tears, and still find myself falling in love all over again. it gets more ironic that sometimes i don't know what to do anymore. love songs are products of the imagination. some of them has a percentage of truth, maybe a line or two...the rest are history. they break hearts, they mend for some, they add up to the burden, if you ask me.

love, love, love... if god created this for us, why should it hurt this much?

Am I original?

charlatan, fake, faker, fraud, hoaxer, humbug, mountebank, phony (also phoney), pretender, quack .............

OH how I hate pretentious people...

I know a lot of them.. and most of them are not my friends.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic but I have to admit I don't like the company of people faking their way through everything.

Why should you pretend to be what you are not?.. Doesn't it feel a LOT better to be just the way you are? I mean, if you pretend to be THIS to people then you have to be that SOMEBODY for like... forever? Isn't that just tiring?

Come on... people will always have a way to understand you or whatever that is you lack, or have excessively. Don't be unfair with yourself just to meet the standards of the filty rich ones.You don't have to pretentiously live lavishly when you go home with an empty stomach.

risk

We all know everything is undecided until it really happens. You wouldn't know how things will turn out the next day, a week after or maybe after a month. Would you bet your life on pure luck without giving in any efforts at all? Wouldn't that sound too lazy? or too boring?

Risk, the biggest and most controversial adventure in life. It is an act people are mostly scared of doing, hesitant and always gives it a second thought before acting. Sensible people don't look at risk as a possibility but rather a waste of time. Others, like me look at risk as a mystery in itself.

I look at risk as an activity that is just within the realms of "the possible"... It always has the 50/50 state of possibility. Spice up your life and take risks so you wouldn't spend the rest of your life wondering "what could have been"...

FAD

"Sometimes I want to be out of this world and be myself for a while." A lot of people are trying their best to have a job in the call center industry or take up nursing because their parents (OH! I meant they) want something better.- a better life, a better environment, a better currency. The latter is most obvious and true to all.

I don't understand how it is possible to send out an approximate of 77,000 nurses to less than 10 countries needing them? Everybody, everywhere, there's a nurse...there's a call center agent. To me, the words: Nursing, call center agent and Fad sounds synonymous already. I bet there is a big proportion of these people who would have wanted to be something else rather than what they are now. But because of unlimited aspirations, they choose to join the FAD in exchange for what makes them trully happy.

A fad is a practice or interest that is very popular for a short time (m-w.com) which proves me right to agents and nurses. By the time USA doesn't need nurses and Americans wouldn't wanna trust outsourcing anymore, what's next for them? Come to think of it.

Just be yourself and don't try so hard to be in the FAD, if you really can't do it. No one really pushes you to the limit except yourself. There's always an option.

So stop changing and becoming into a FAD freak and be someone you really want to be.

P.S: I am not trying to say its wrong or I'm against it; This is my opinion and this is how I see things. T_T

"When you love, things make even more sense." -the alchemist

Loving someone secretly can be weird yet no matter how weird the feeling becomes, the more interesting it gets.

I have been loving someone for almost five years now but it never came to my mind to stop loving her. So many years have passed ever since the last time I saw her and the feeling never faded.

It never changed degrees. It remained beautiful... just like a daydream.

To me, it doesn't matter if I see her again or not.. because no matter what happens, her face will be engraved in my heart, mind and soul and no one can take that away from me. Not even her.

Love is still love even if I choose to keep it in secret. Love will always stay as what is has always been... silent; yet so profound.

Heart-breaking truth

Shake off the dust and move on.
It sounds so simple but its very difficult to do.

It is a choice one has to make to move on.

It is an acceptance of either defeat or victory.

It is a sign that you want to prove other people that you can be better,

better off without that other person you consider your "life".

What had happened in the past will be engraved in the hearts of people.

Everything will pass by but never memories with people.

No matter how hard we try, it still remains impossible to do.
We all know life is like a game of cards.

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.

No one played knowing they will eventually win in the end.

Life is always a surprise and no matter how hard we tend to control our lives,

it just always slips away and makes things happen on its own.

Maybe that's where the forces of nature comes in..
It's bitter when we carefully plan out the future with the people we love

and without you knowing it,

you'll find yourself realizing your dreams and plans...ALONE.
Nothing could be more painful than being alone-

Being rejected and having your heart broken.

Think of it for a while and don't dwell on them so much.

Listening to music that reminds you of the people you once loved,

watching happy pictures of you together are just giving you false hopes

and you just don't realize that it is only poisoning you, that's all.

For you know and everybody knows that nothing is more dangerous

than understanding your own emotions.

Look at your past as something that no longer fits your life...

You need to move out of it.

There is no such thing as going back to the past.

You cannot make people forget what you did

and neither can you wish for time to turn back.

Move on, close the past chapter of your life

because the new one has to start..

Open new doors, open your heart again..

There are some things worth remembering,

people worth making memories with

and moments worth reminiscing...

Korean Dramas

Full House, Princess Hours, Jumong, Love Story in Harvard, My Sassy Girl, Endless Love 1-3, Stairway to Heaven, A Rosy Life... are a few of my favorite Korean dramas...

"I love them, I admit." I have been a huge fan of Korean dramas ever since I formally went out with one. Yeah, their stories seem to be all the same. A love story with a third party (more often a more beautiful girl), a character dying in the end, someone loses a loved one, or they end up happily together. Whichever way, it is very typical. Anyone would know what would happen next and yet I still find myself watching every episode of my favorite dramas.

One reason why I keep on watching these dramas because it makes me understand their language more. I like they way they say things and how their tone simply express the message they want to convey. I have to say, learning the Korean language (Han-gul) is not easy at all. It's difficult plus the complicated pronunciation which is not any close to english.But I tell you, it's fun and challenging.

I have watched "Full House" a lot of times yet I still cry in the most "touching" episodes. My mother often tells me "watching those again and again will make you memorize those..".. and I thought "I'm glad if I will." My sister is annoyed at me thinking I just watch without understanding the drama. Of course, if I don't understand, I wouldn't want to waste my time on that.

Korean dramas have been widely accepted and "loved" especially in Asian countries... and plus,a growing population from other parts of the world are eager to learn translation for Korean words they commonly hear in dramas/ songs.

Huge thanks to subtitles~! For without them, the world would be in chaos. LOL
