Just got to know a friend's friend passed away due to stress.. @_@ Not sure if that's the main course but it kinda tells me to get my stress level in check!!! Gulpz..
What do I do when I get all stressed out? Well.. usually...I...
EAT LIKE A GLUTTON!!
..and not forgetting ICE-CREAM treats!!
But of course, that's quite unhealthy...WHAT WAS I THINKING??? So, let's go for..
Exercising! (Something which Lil' Piggy me finds it a HUGE CHALLLENGE!)
Swimming!
A day at the SPA - Body Massage, Facial, Manicure, Pedicure..
The picture above happened to me a number of times... hmmm.....
Catch up on ZZzzZZZzz...A well rested sleep with no interruption and nightmare =p
Read a novel / book (I love this one.. takes me away into another realm! =p)
Go for a walk in peaceful park / garden, or just sit there to clear off your mind...
Of course.. PRAY..Have faith & trust in God..
Take care and God Bless all of you wherever you are!
Seriously, there are A LOT of reasons why we hurt the ones we love the most OR the one we love most, hurts us the worst! But I guess, one of the main reason is because they are so close to us, we felt too comfortable to say whatever we want although knowing damn well we will hurt them, and at the same time we know they will later forgive us. Tsk Tsk Tsk...
The song "I HATE MYSELF FOR LOVING YOU!" by Joan Jett is ringing in my head right now.. it's such an AWESOME SONG!!! ^_^
"I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do I wanna walk but I run back to you that's why I hate myself for loving you "
After a while, I feel like dancing to this.. I mean like.. ROCK ON!!! hahahaha! Yeah.. I think it's quite a good de-stress song! :p
Then, I came across a song by Mills Brothers and I find the lyrics are so hmm... well.. kinda true although the melody.. is a bit too slow..
You always hurt the one you love The one you shouldn't hurt at all You always take the sweetest rose And crush it till the petals fall You always break the kindest heart With a hasty word you can't recall So If I broke your heart last night It's because I love you most of all ( Listen to Mills Brother's version ) ( Listen to Michael Buble's version )
Sometimes, it's not just your partner or spouse hurts you (or vice versa), but it also includes your family members, especially your siblings / parents. Whatever is is, they say BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER..so.. LET THERE BE LOVE!!!
Something to read if you have time to spare : A snippet of a book entitled : Cupidity
The NEW YEAR is approaching and to welcome 2012, let's be more positive towards life ^_^
I was in a depressing mode past couple of weeks and I remember coming across this inspiring quotes and it sort off shakes me up a little and made me get all fired up to face the world again.. ;)
Cheers! Happy New Year too all of you and may 2012 brings you wonderful joy, peaceful days, good health and success in whatever that you do. God bless!
Came across this song by chance when I really needed a boost of positive reminder :)
If You Dream
by Tank, Tyrese, Toni Braxton, Faith Evans, JoJo, Omarion, Jamie Foxx
I never thought the sun would shine my way
All I've known is empty promises and pain I need a way out or some type of escape So I take refuge in this place
Even though the road to glory seems long
The fire in me could win a marathon Believe there's nothing you can't overcome
If you dream, then you can do anything
If you dream, you're halfway to destiny If you dream, dream the impossible If you dream, cause a dream's unstoppable
I could've gave up a long time ago
Though the door I need to get through will always close
Storms and Rain everywhere I go
But I don't give up cause I know
Even if they say you just can't win
Believe you can go where you've never been
And you can fly high with the strength of all your friends
If you dream, then you can do anything
If you dream, you're halfway to destiny If you dream, dream the impossible If you dream, cause a dream's unstoppable
Dream That you can fly, Dream That you can climb Dream
A mountain, all you gotta do is just Dream
That you can win, Dream With Confidence Dream To the very end cause dreamers become champions Dream Until it's real, Dream, Don't let them kill your Dream
The fight still is in you, all you gotta do is Dream, Just keep the faith, Dream, Don't ever break Don't let it slip away cause all you gotta do
Even though the road to glory seems long
The fire in me could win a marathon Believe there's nothing you can't overcome
If you dream, then you can do anything
If you dream, you're halfway to destiny If you dream, dream the impossible Dream, then you can do anything Dream, you?re halfway to destiny Dream, dream?s unstoppable
A forwarded email from a dear friend that I felt worth sharing..
Maybe...
We were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that great gift.
Maybe..
When the door of hapiness closes, another opens; but often at times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.
Maybe..
It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing untill it arrives.
Maybe..
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Maybe..
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life untill you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.
Maybe..
You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you only have one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.
Maybe..
There are moments in life when you miss someone -- parent, spouse, friends -- so much that you just want to pick them up from your dreams and hug them for real, so that once they are around, you appreciate them more.
Maybe..
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Maybe..
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe..
Happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.
Maybe..
You should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to kep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
My sister sent me a link to this beautiful song.. from then on, I am hooked to it..listening to it, over and over again.. The lyrics touched me so much and it reminds me that He’s with me throughout my struggles although I am not aware.
I am thankful for all the lovely people around me..who have been supporting me physically and mentally. Thank you for reminding me of who I am and the importance of being myself.
Sending ALL my LOVE to each and everyone of you (you know who you are) and God bless each and everyone of you … where ever you guys are ^_^
Thanks to Janice & Sonia for singing this beautiful song and most of all, thanks to you both for sharing it to the rest of us. God bless you both!!! ^_^
Turn To Jesus
Jesus my Saviour My Lord and My King Insulted, rejected for all of our sins Knowing pain He went through it all So I turn to Jesus He's there when I fall
(chorus) Lord I need you Lord I cry out to you My only refuge from this world Lord I need you Lord I cry out to you My only shelter my hope and saviour
Jesus my comfort my strength and my shield Sorrow and sadness He knows how I feel Knowing my struggles He went through it all So I turn to Jesus Who's been there before
*by MystiqueAsh* Learn to appreciate those who love and care for you It will be too late When they leave Intentionally or unintentionally And all that will be left Are sweet or bitter memories
Disappointment and regrets Are feelings you don’t want to dwell in Cherish those closes to you at heart Cherish every moment spent Cherish every word spoken Cherish the love they have for you
Count your blessings Be contented Be thankful Have faith Be at peace in your heart and mind Have good fun Be joyful!
I was not feeling on top of the world for the past few weeks and was condemning myself for every reason I could find. Coupled with stress at work and college, I was losing a grip on myself.
Instead of focusing my time on more important things, I allow myself to be depressed and succumbing to negativity. Once you’re in it, it takes so much effort and courage to get out of it. Thankfully, I am surrounded with people who loves me for who I am and it was comforting to know you are not alone after all.
An E-Book by Clove&Clive entitled “LOVE IS ALL ABOUT YOU” was forwarded to me by someone who cares a lot for me and as I read the lines, all those struck me on how simple life could be, by just.. Loving yourself first! I would like to share the highlights with all of you.
Listed below are the 50 listings (or chapters if you like to call it that way):
Love is accepting yourself for who you are and who you are not Love is allowing others to be themselves Love is giving worth to yourself Love is giving up self-pretense and simply be who you are Love is recognizing abundance in you instead of lack Love is receiving with joy what is entitled to you Love is being grateful for the little blessings that come your way Love is being thankful for everything that is already you Love is being kind to yourself in moments of stress Love is seeing everything with gratitude Love is opening up to greater possibilities Love is inspiring others with confidence Love is sharing your innermost fear Love is sharing what you love Love is rewarding yourself for a job well done Love is listening to your heart Love is guiding others to grow at their own pace Love is embracing negativity with forgiveness Love is listening with the silence of the heart Love is speaking with fullness of the heart Love is giving yourself a measure of comfort a day Love is sharing yourself with others Love is letting go of past hurts and grievances Love is forgiving yourself unconditionally Love is letting go of guilt and regrets Love is expressing gratitude for lessons that come your way Love is living your life purposefully Love is making a difference in people’s life Love is rejoicing in others' happiness Love is respecting your needs instead of wants Love is handling yourself with gentleness Love is trusting your own capabilities Love is turning your perspective 180 degrees Love is surrendering to your highest good Love is surprising others with random acts of kindness Love is allowing yourself to live instead of exist Love is letting yourself be appreciated Love is overflowing your life with kindness Love is silencing yourself in stillness Love is attending to your inner call for peace Love is giving others the benefit of doubt Love is making time for yourself and your needs Love is allowing good heart to be contagious Love is encouraging yourself to serve Love is seeing others with compassion Love is letting go of control Love is believing in your goodness Love is choosing loving and positive thoughts Love is loving yourself unconditionally Love is letting fear be your teacher
Dedicating ALL MY LOVE to those who love me for who I am.
Thank you for all the support and encouragement and well wishes! God bless each and every single one of you!
Generally, guys think GIRLS are COMPLICATED! Girls sometimes thinks GUYS are DIFFICULT too. Same species: human, but different ‘planets’. One from Mars, another from Venus.. Different perspectives and feelings. It’s truly amazingl when these two beings live together, compromising each other. Girls - Guys don’t understand hints, so please, you need to send the message in clear direct way for the guys to comprehend. Guys - Being confident attracts girls but if you have an overly HUGE EGO - a big turnoff for girls.
On another note to all girls out there - if you are not being treated right by a guy, don’t wait for him to change. DITCH HIM! Get someone who will treat you with better respect and who will honor you of who you are. Someone who look at you deep in your eyes and say “I Love You” and actually mean it.

Penang - Pretty, Independent, Dreamy & Messy babes Sabah - Exotic Friendly chicks Sarawak - Potential Housewives in the making

Saying “I’m Sorry” may be difficult, but it makes a lot of difference in the long run of a relationship.
Enjoy each other’s company

As months and years passes by and our relationship grows, we need to expect some changes that will impact the relationship.
Learn to welcome the change, take it as an opportunity to enhance the strength of the relationship.
Don’t take each other for granted, allow each other’s right of privacy when needed.
Our relationship is likely to drift into rocky waters without us even noticing if we don’t take the initiative to keep it “alive”.
