Quote of the day: Start a new fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve ~from Carrie Underwood's song, "Ever ever after"
.....................................................................................................................................

I've been doing lots of thinking with my free time, which is not a good thing because now my brain hurts LOL.

I have a tendency to overthink things sometimes - a result of society forcing me to see that nothing is as simple as meets the eye - there's always a deeper meaning to everything that everyone says/does.

People say I'm oversensitive - but I forgive them because they don't know the shit I have been through.

I'm in denial, and with each passing day, I'm digging myself a larger hole to hide in for fear of facing the truth. Because the truth hurts. The trouble is, I can hide but I can't run. Or can I?

What is it with people who need to know for certain what they are doing a step ahead? Can't you just take things as they come? How insecure are you that you need to know for sure exactly what you are doing next week, next month, next year? How do you even know whether tomorrow is coming anyway? For Jesus said in the Bible,

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; not about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they?
Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
...
Therefore do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear'?
...
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

~Matthew 6: 25-34

I love the book of Matthew because there are so many lessons to learn there which are applicable to young people.

There are people who poo-poo the Bible and give little regard to its teachings. It's sad because if you don't believe in it, then just keep your comments to yourself. The whole world doesn't need to know about how much you disapprove of a certain religion. If you don't believe, then it's your loss. It's hurtful for those who believe and have to hear about it.

The tongue is truly the root of all evil. But people don't understand that once you say something, you can't take it back. Once the damage is done, it's done. For the Bible says,

"No man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
...
Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing."

~James 3: 8-10

If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything.
People can say things like, "aiyah, don't listen to them lah, why you care about such shitheads??"
In the end they don't realise that it doesn't matter who the shithead is.
When the words cut, they cut.

I am blessed after all, to be living it up and away from such shitheads. What more can I ask for?

What is this world turning into?

On the flipside, this year I learnt the true meaning of love :)

Don't give up...because you are loved ~You are loved (Josh Groban)


You're the only place my heart has ever been ~You're the Only Place (Josh Groban)


There's so much to be thankful for ~Thankful (Josh Groban)


And this journey that we're on...how far we've come and I...celebrate every moment
~When you say you love me (Josh Groban)


Keep me awake...to memorize you ~Awake (Josh Groban)

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders...You raise me up...to more than I can be
~You raise me up (Josh Groban)

People can laugh all they want - but those who do will never know the real me.
People who don't take me seriously are not worth knowing.

I just realised that Josh's brother, Chris Groban, is on Facebook LOL. But you can't see his profile unless he requests you to be his friend - you can't even request to be his friend. I heard that some crazy Grobanites really got to him the last time. Poor fella. There are some perks in having a really famous brother...and then at other times...it's just horrible I bet.

I am so sorry for the 5 families who lost their family members to the tragic Dragon Boat accident in Cambodia. This is one of the few times I've cried whilst reading the news. My heart goes out to all of you.
