INSPIRING MESSAGE

One of my Boss sent a New Year's message on our email which is truly inspiring that I would want to share it here in my blog.

As we bid adieu to 2011, we should also bid adieu to the loads of tensions that we carry in our head. Whenever life closes one door that we thought was ideal, it opens another one that is even better - just that at times we realize it a bit later. Offload the word 'MISTAKES' from your life and replace it with 'OPPORTUNITIES' - learn from day to day things in life but ensure that you are progressing. Wishing 2012 opens million such doors for each one of you.

The message is truly inspiring. I agree that we should learn from the day to day things in our lives. At times we just don't realize that the simple learning from our everyday life is actually what we need for growth and success. Not enough for us to just learn, we also need to apply what we learn.

LIFE IS VERY SHORT

Life is very short. 

So break your silly ego, forgive quickly, believe slowly, love truly, laugh loudly and never avoid anything that makes you happy!

THOUGHTS TO PONDER

1. If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side.
2. Kind words make good echoes.
3. Life is short, pray long.
4. The best things in life aren't things.
5. No God, no peace. Know God, know peace.
6. Life is a measure to be filled, not a cup to be drained.
7. When you're green with envy, you're ripe for trouble.
8. The tongue weighs practically nothing, but few can hold it.
9. We stand tallest when we stoop to help others.
10. We receive or achieve only when we believe.

happy Monday to everyone 

and have a great week ahead!

ENJOY LIFE IN HUMILITY

God balances our life by giving us enough blessings to make us happy and enough burdens to keep us humble. I've never seen one who has everything they've wanted, have you? Everyone still has their own period for yearning. That's how the cycle goes. So let's enjoy life with all HUMILITY.

BURLESQUE

I was able to watch this at DVD like 2 weeks ago. Burlesque is a musical movie which stars Cher and Christina Aguilera. It was an awesome movie! I was surprised to actually like it. The movie has a nice story line and actors playing on it was superb! There was never a dull moment for me while watching the movie. Every musical number was very well done. Me being a girl, envy it and was wishing to have the moves and voice of Christina Aguilera. Haha! 

The movie is all about a girl who push for her dreams and believes in herself that she can achieve it. With all those criticisms, she never stop until she proves to herself and the people around her that she's has all what it takes. True enough, her dreams become a reality and she stayed the same humble person as she is.

It's a must see girl-movie!

I was never a Cher fan. But this scene of her from the movie Burlesque gave me the chills and I suddenly fall in love with her... :)

FREEDOM VS. HAPPINESS

1ST DAY OF SCHOOL STORIES

It's my Lil' Man's 1st day at school earlier and I was able to fetch him right after my shift. My day at work has been a long one. Reported so early and had gone home really late. But hearing my son's "1st day of school" stories and seeing excitement in him removes all the stress in me. He is definitely all I need to live!

I MELT WITH YOU

I am repeatedly singing the line -

"Making love to you was never second best...

I'll stop the world and melt with you..."

I never really heard the song today, 

just realized that I kept on singing it. 

LSS? Naahh!

What does it call then? 

Whatever... LOL!

JESUS LIVES!

Jesus died so I might live.

Jesus suffered so I might be healed.

Jesus spoke not a word so I might hear the Word.

Jesus loved so I might know.

JESUS LIVES!

Blessed and Happy Easter to ALL!

WHO DO YOU PREFER?

a 

DICTATOR 

rules forcibly 

by fear and intimidation.

a

TRUE LEADER

guides gently and is followed willingly 

with respect and admiration.

Who do you prefer? 

BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU HAPPY

There are times that you simply like to do what makes you happy and would not want to explain yourself to others why you will need to do that. Wanting to be happy is an enough reason.

IT'S NOT A MISTAKE, IT'S A CHOICE

You can never make the same mistake twice.

Because the second time you make it,

it's not a mistake, it's a choice!

Whenever a wrong move has happened to our life for the second time, we sometimes convince ourselves that it was an honest mistake. Or we tell ourselves that we didn't know it'll end up that way again and will suddenly felt like we are a victim of circumstances. The truth is, we are just trying to give justice to the wrong acts that we decided to do again. Maybe of guilt? I am not sure, but the saying above is somehow true. Once you did the same mistake, that's because it's your choice!

THEY'RE LIKE SANDPAPERS

 In life... 

when you encounter mean and hurtful people, 

treat them like sandpaper.

 No matter how rough they may scrub you, 

you end up polished and smooth. 

DO YOU STILL HAVE A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?

 

The time i started this post...

It's now past midnight and sleeping is not even in my mind. I am currently in my room, my lil' man is already sleeping and me is typing my thoughts. I actually missed this. The late night, everyone was asleep, quiet surroundings while composing into writing your thoughts. I want to take this opportunity to blog. Since it's a new year, I would like to blog about those new year's resolutions and all. 

It's now 2011 and 2010 was just another year you can cherish down the memory lane. I am wondering.. why is it that most people always got a new year's resolution for themselves? Do we really need to wait till new year to make things right or set goals for ourselves? Nothing against, me is just wondering. LOL!

I do set goals for my self. It's just that I don't plan ahead of time. I work on what I got as of the moment. I have learned to live life at the present and not to worry what will happen in the future. Don't get me wrong, coz it might sound like I don't care about my future. But I think of it this way - I need to make things the way I want it at the present and the future will take care of itself. None of us can really tell whatever is in store for us in the future. But I am a firm believer that whatever happens in your future is just a mere result of what you did today.

I am reflecting on what I've become at this time of my life. Then looking back, I've realized that I never even thought or planned anything of it before. But I am thankful for everything that happened in my life. All those experiences, may it be good or bad, were part of what I am as of the moment. I have no regrets and would still want to live my life at it's fullest.

I would have to say that the most important lesson life taught me thus far is that: GOD has a plan for me! God has a plan for every single person in the world. Whether something good or bad happens, it all works out for the best in the end. Your life may take turns that you don't want to happen, but it is only in time that you will understand why your life had to take that turn. One piece of advice: trust and believe. Just be the best YOU that you can be.

The time I ended this post...

RAINBOW

I just remember, I saw a rainbow twice last week. It was morning, me and some colleagues were on a cigarette break when I saw the first rainbow. Then 2 days after, we saw the second one at exactly the same spot, that was morning too. Me and my colleagues were like reminiscing how you would like to look for the end of the rainbow when you were still a kid, to see the pot of gold and thinking that a leprechaun might be there too. LOL! 

Seeing a rainbow after the rain when I was a kid was like an amazing experience, because it seldom happens. And when I saw rainbows again last week, I still felt that same sentiments. Too bad I was not able to capture it with my cam.

Let me end this post with a simple inspirational thought:

"If you want the rainbow, 

sometimes you gotta put up with the rain."

THINK OF IT THIS WAY...

Don't wish it was easier.

Wish you were better.

Don't wish for less problems.

Wish for more skills.

Don't wish for less challenges.

Wish for more wisdom.

EXPLORE!

 

You'll never discover new horizons 

if you're afraid to leave the shore.

Go ahead and have the balls to explore!

BELIEVE IN BETTER DAYS

There were days that I feel like everything was a mess. But that doesn't stop there. I am a firm believer that better days are always on it's way. Just have to be patient. =)

KEEP MOVING

If you can't fly, RUN!

If you can't run, WALK!

If you can't walk, CRAWL!

But by all means - KEEP MOVING!

~ Martin Luther King Jr. ~

HAPPY MESS

 When you mess things up, never say -


"OOOPS!"

always say -


"Aha, interesting!"

 

 Just learn how to turn on the light in every darkness.

Does that make sense? LOL!
