shiny happy people

everyday I'm shuffling.

that cute little boy from the movie "crazy little thing called love"

"I have something to tell you.  I like you very much.  Been loving you for three years.  I've done everything - chenged myself in every aspect because of you.  I applied in a classical dance club, played in a stage drama, be a drum majorette, did good in studying.. it's for you.  But I know for now that the thing I should do most, and shoould have done since a long time ago is to tell you straight - that I love you." (-Nam)

life according to Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago

“Life is absurd, because you don’t have any clue what we are here for.   I’m talking about the meaning of life.  There’s no meaning to it!  Look for the meaning, you can never find it.  If that’s the case, we have to invent our own meaning.  That is what we are reduced to. We have to invent why we get up every morning.  You get up, cross the street, and get run by a bus.  Isn’t that absurd?  You’re in a big hurry to get your clothes on so the bus can run over you?”

The Benefits of Having “Time Alone”

 

“The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude.  Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind.  Be alone – that is the secret of invention: be alone – that is when ideas are born.”

(Nikola Tesla)

Although I beat myself up to write more here because I know seven people read this (hahaha), I am most inspired and driven to write when I’m alone.  In solitude, I can hear my thoughts and realize what I really feel.  It’s what makes me define me and not get corrupted by pop culture or the society.  When I’m alone, I get to play around inside my head, realize how much of a headfuck I am and then I find ways to control.  "must.not.manifest."   =)))

 

Every person need their “alone time”.  Because it’s only when we are alone that we can dig deep into our thoughts and find truth and beauty in it.

 

It is in being alone that you hear your inner voice and not get lost in the roar.

 

Writing on just about anything (I wish I was getting paid for it) is something that I really love.  and I can’t be talking about the same thing over and over so I need to be creative about it.  And I found out that creating from within is the best way f expressing ideas.  And that the only way to reach within is [the art] of isolation.  And the fact that doing what I love to do also inspires me to be more creative. ;)

 

If people start to appreciate the benefits of having the time alone, it will help them realize that being alone is, in fact, never a scary thing.

(..because the princess misses you so.)

Because I am a very appreciative person, I will be posting a thank you note to the man I fondly call “boss”. 



I’ve always had a lot of things to be grateful for.  Most of them is work-related.  Then there’s FB. Then MSN.  Then you.  Thank you for the time; for your honesty, your patience; for your stories, you humor, for your efforts in keeping our conversations interesting; for your curiosity and craziness; for sharing a lot more than what’s asked; and most of all, thank you for making me happy.  It means a lot.  I don’t know why you’re so nice =) I hope that you will find your greatest adventure here.  See you soon and take care.

 

 
 

(PS—“belle” and “jolie” doesn’t really suit me.  You will only be disappointed in time. HAHAHAHAHA)

15 Things You Should Give up to be Happy

 *Taken from another blogger. just sharing the love <3

 ---o0o---

Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go:

1. Give up your need to always be right

 There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question:

“Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer.

What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?

2. Give up your need for control

Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu

3. Give up on blame

 Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.

4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk

 Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.

“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle

5. Give up your limiting beliefs

about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!

“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle

6. Give up complaining

 Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

7. Give up the luxury of criticism

Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.

8. Give up your need to impress others

Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take off all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

9. Give up your resistance to change

 Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.

Joseph Campbell

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” 

10. Give up labels

 Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open.

“The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” Wayne Dyer

11. Give up on your fears

Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.

“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.”

12. Give up your excuses

Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.

13. Give up the past

I know, I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. After all life is a journey not a destination. Have a clear vision for the future, prepare yourself, but always be present in the now.

14. Give up attachment

This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another,  attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.

15. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations

Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves.  You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.

 Franklin D. Roosevelt 

..and may the odds be ever in your favor.

the return of the comeback

It’s been a while.  And I couldn’t wait.  Can you tell?

The muse came in right when I thought I don’t need one anymore.  But just like before, I’m going to make use all of it – while it lasts.  Because the one thing that I’ve learned from having a muse before was being able to easily let go of it when it decides to leave.

And now that it’s here again, I just couldn’t wait for it to just show up, knock me off my feet and make me create something beautiful again.

So thank you, my lovely muse.  You’re making my heart feel happy again.

love, actually ....

I see pain everywhere.  It's because love had been on their top priority.  If it hadn't been for love, I'm pretty sure they were someone else... maybe someone better than who they are right now.  I wish everyone would get contented with just having to experience pure love without having someone to share it with.  Or the contentment of sharing your love to everyone and not focusing on only one.. but what do i know about love?  Not that it was never a priority, I just realized earlier on in life that love, if you want to be realistic and statistically honest about it -- is not for everyone.  That's why I turned out to be like this.. and of course I had this series of heartbreaks that I didn't tell anyone because it was never a big deal to anyone who knew those boys.  I hate it when I talk about my pain and they really don't listen. I hate it. So I stopped talking and sharing my own pain.  Just like before, I got through all of it alone.  It made me stone-hearted? maybe.  But at least I'm fucking realistic.   I used to tell my girl friends to wait on someone better to come along but now I know better - I don't want to give them false hopes anymore.  HAAAAAAY. Men are so lucky to have too many options. 

I'm telling you all of this because I hate it when people suffer out of love.  I wish I could take pain out of their hearts but it's not possible.  Maybe this trade trick I had might help:  i keep this love for someone.  It was that kind of love that doesn't need to be reciprocated. No expectations, no "making my way to make him love me". I just loved.  And that's enough. I don't know if I send the message right but it worked on me.  Never expecting..that alone  is contentment.  That's all there is with love.  If you want to be happy with the one you love, let him go, let him fly  to where he wants to be -- even if you know he's never going to go to your direction. If you see him really happy you will be happy as well - because you love him that deeply.  for further explanation, please see this video:

I do not suggest to go out look for a new love because male fishes in the sea are already on its way to extinction.. and ladies have to hold on to facts and not on 1900s saying that 'there are many fishes in the sea'.  Because in the 20th century the female fishes outnumbered those 'many male fishes in the sea'. 

I hate that I make this entry sound pessimistic.  But we have to live with the facts these days.  Unfair, you might  say? YES, it is.  you want to blame it on population? Go right ahead.  Just live life with these options: maybe there is someone out there for you, maybe there wasn't.  And start living your life independently.
