"When you really want something,the whole universe conspires to help achieve it."- Paul Coelho, The Alchemmist
In life, one would often talk about destiny; of allowing things to happen and take place. Though I myself believe in serendipity and destiny, I still think that things happen because of the choices that we make though sometimes there are things that really happen when we least expect it,something that we seem to have no control. In which case i would assert that I am a 90% free will and 10% destiny believer lol.
Last week marked my more-time-more-movies-to-watch-leisure-coupon for one day.haha. Its a good stress reliever though. Ironic but as much as I want to stay away from watching romance related movies I ended up spending the dime on them. Dunno if I unconsciously still loves watching them or I just dont have the choice,it has always been a sought-after theme.

Just Go With It
"Are you running from something that you want or from something you're afraid to want?"
Ive always loved adam sandler movies and this one is another must-watch movie. It will make you laugh like never before. ;) But most importantly, it teaches you when to just let go of things and to finally decide and make a stand. Its too bad that we fail to see people in a different light. Sometimes in our endless search for that one great love and all the superficial adventures that comes along with it, we fail to see that the person we've been looking for is just in front of us.

The Adjustment Bureau
This movie starring Matt Damon and emily blunt captured my attention once again. At first, I was dubious whether i would enjoy this movie because the setting is just dull and cloudy; too serious for me. AS events continue to unfold, I cant keep my eyes off the screen.
geez. I dont know how Matt Damon's character in the movie waited for 3 years, riding the same bus, doing his morning routine everyday just to catch a glimpse of Emily Blunt, in betting his chances of seeing the woman he has been wanting to have all his life. His efforts might seem cycnical and futile, but then eventually even fate would take his side. Even if his own fate would not allow him to be with her, he dared to change it.
Finally, after months of starts and stops I got hold of the last page of the book, Eat-Pray-Love By Elizabeth Gilbert. After reading the book and savoring the inspirational contents of it, i took a deep breathe as if a new gush of air filled my lungs. This book definitely came just when some nimbus of light seem to circle my thoughts, I read it at the time I needed it most.
EAT. When worries and problems come as if you're the only target on this planet,one cant help but to wonder and pose a question, "Why on earth is life so difficult?". Much worst this could lead to other people losing their appetite. But luckily in my case, in times of despair, I would definitely eat no matter what. lol. When im stressed out Id go searching for a pleasant food that could delight my palate. Rationale: When you're problematic, you surely need to eat a lot so you have the energy to think.
PRAY.I find solace when I pray. Though for the past few months, I failed to do this sole thing that saved me from all of my miseries before. And so i start to open my eyes again, to pray and open my spirituality. After all, there are things and events in our life that sometimes we don't have any control. Let things be and let God. When you keep on thinking and worrying too much, it will just knock the wits out of you.So might as well let go of things. What happened in the past could not be changed, but the present circumstances are in your hands.You have the power to alter its course. You have to let go of the negative vibes,of all the emotions that once locked you on,of all the hatred and blames. You have to free yourself so you can be happy.
LOVE. All of us are in search of the one true love that could take us to places we never thought we could experience and to just have a feel of that utmost happiness we've been wanting to have. But just like in search of something that is really precious, we sometimes are mislead and undergo painful tests to find that special someone. But just like what I heard from a friend,you have to be the right person first before you find the right one for you. After all, love comes when you least expect it. You have to be a complete first. And so while I am still single,I'll continue to spread the love....;)
It's February and valentine's day is just around the corner. I don't mind being categorized under SAD (lol i just accidentally heard it from a TV host just today) which means Single Awareness Day. It doesn't look that bad anyway. And since february is celebrated with full of love not only love but also lots of concerts we all have been waiting for.
I couldnt be more excited than to see and share the music of Taylor Swift.
I find her musicality really unique, fun but most of all sincere. Not to mention that I can relate to most of her songs. haha

TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR
I really love this song for the simple reason that I myself play the guitar and I know how it felt to watch someone from afar; someone you know belongs to someone else that all you can do to ease your solitude is to play the melody of the song that can appease all the hurt.
WHITE HORSE
At first when I heard of the title, i was curious but then eventually I realized as to why that is the title of the song. White horse. Prince charming. Happy ending. Well they are pieces of details to complete a perfect love story, a fairytale, a knight in shining armor coming in to rescue the girl he loves from despair and distress. But then everything falls apart as the girl started to realize that life is not a box of chocolates, of sweet nottings, of forever and happy ending. That in the end, we are faced with harsh realities. After all why should we put too much hope and expectation on people who would only let us down. Too bad regrets always come at the end and when everything is too late. And so as long as you have the opportunity and the chance dont waste it, coz you'll never know when you will lose the people you love.

LOVE STORY
Finally when everything seem to be hopeless, dragging and tiring, there comes someone who will just make everything as if the past is but just a distant memory and the present, the future is what really matters. The seem to be endless waiting and crying will now be placed with sincere love and happiness. That is where a true love story happens, not perfect but a surreal one.

In life, you will really come to a point where you have to STOP as in both its literal and figurative sense to just contemplate on certain things. Assessing my life for the past few years is an avenue for that "stop-and-think-for-a-while-moments". For me, it would always involve a lot of sighs and sleepless nights, a lot of eating and messed up thought going around my mind.
Finally, when you get lost in transition for a while your thoughts are getting much clearer. I'm glad that part of my character has not lost its spark for doing things that I really love to do, for sticking with my belief in having social significance. Yes, it is a chance, a risk, that I had to take to leave all things behind; quit my job and to step out of the corporate world.
On a much up close and personal perspective, I also have to take risks with something I'm not sure where it will lead me. These situations have indeed made me stronger, have widened my used to be narrow perceptions on life and have finally provided leeway for my emotional needs. But one thing is for sure, my rationality as a person would always bring me back to the rightful place.As what they always say, use your heart but when you get lost use your head to come back.
Funny why my memories out of the blue drifted back to my kindergarten days...lol..I guess this could be one of the manifestations of me wanting to be in "I-wish-my life is-a-bit-less-comlpicated" line of thought. I wish I could go back to linger on the days when I was in my cute costume as Cinderella,when life was still simple, when my life was still protected and sheltered. But of course though that would be the most insane thought I could think of, i know deep inside I am happy as to how matured I've become throughtout the years.And just like any other stories, events will have to touchbase with reality. So when Cinderella came back to her senses when the clock striked 12, I in turn realized...
...that ironies in life have its way of surprising you. I remember the one who became my evil step sister in our cinderella play who is now my long-time bestfriend for a decade already. Ironic,eh?! Before I would always place myself in my comfort zone, be surrounded by people who love me, who like me and experience situations that are favorable to me. Yet, there is a broad spectrum of life ahead;tough lessons that i still have to learn and so I would dare go to explore the strangest places, meet the craziest people and yet appreciate the good in them; be loved and be hated for being who you are without stepping on other person's feelings and accept that life, in general, will never be easy. This is how I get to appreciate life; by learning it even the hard way.
....that if you want to have a happy ending you have to make it happen and that the prince charming we know as someone who is perfect in his shining armor is but just a creation of our fantasy;making us forget that we deal with men,real men who can and will make mistakes. And that every perfect scenario is but just a wishful thinking we have to overcome before it lures us to doom.
I myself believe in fate, in destiny, in serendipity, in taking chances. But I couldnt just wait, I have to do something for it to take place. I have to constantly pray and hope and when the right one comes along, don't ever let him go.. However, that is not where the story ends and so I'd like to leave it all up to HIM to finish and write my own happy ending...;)

My thoughts for the past few days are messed up. For once in my life, I've never felt my weak emotions are now starting to drown me into madness I know I couldn't evade. Letting go of what your heart truly feels is just as same weight as accepting what your mind tells you to do. Beyond any rational judgement I am trying to conjure is a creeping unreasonable thought of accepting I know something is wrong and I just cant pretend things will be better.
I guess you really cannot escape pain and hurt when loving someone. I want to walk away, turn my back, and just forget everything that have happened. In as much as my mind is competing with my heart and saying that I should step my feet forward, the other one says stay. Who knows what this whole thing will give to me?Both two sides of my very close friends whom I confided the matter have a point.
Why not give the person a chance and dont look at him in a bad light? The other side says,you've given him a lot of chances already and he blew it. You deserve someone better,way way better than him. But the other side would argue, what if he is really the one for you and you just didnt trust him and give him the chance to finally prove himself.... Oh boy, and the rest of the arguments follow...
I know I have to take a stand..I have to decide...But I guess they are right..I deserve someone who will be sincere, honest with me. Someone who will really prove himself worthy and someone who will fight for me until the end.
Falling in love at the wrong time, at the wrong place is a bit difficult expecially if situations are complicated.Too much emotions are at stake.
But after contemplating on somethings, finally my heart and mind in unison already gave me the answer. Follow your heart, and if you get lost use your head to come back.
If he is the one, he'll do everything to have you back. If it's not him, then it might have been someone else all this time.

No matter how determined you are, no matter how much perseverance and effort you exert to achieve something for yourself, for the people you love, sometimes you will really reach a saturation point where you will start to feel weak, grow impatient and eventually try to give up. But amidst all these negative thoughts clouding my mind, a ray of light also starts to surface. Lately I've felt like I am starting to diverge away from my dreams to have a good life, to have a significant career and to provide the best life I can give for my family. I wouldnt want to admit its presence, but yes the boldness of my character is already starting to lose its spirit.
But i guess sometimes its never wrong to acknowledge the fact that there will come a time that you will feel this uncertainty of being situated in a position you have no control. As my stupid thoughts start to drown me, I also get to catch a glimpse of that ray of light- hope.
Then I would start to recollect some of the positive thoughts thats left and be able to realize that i still have all the time in the world. Now its not the time to give up. The road I should take is no teasy and it will never be. I should keep on going and keep the fire burning.AJA!
