Beginning, Ending, it's all a matter of perspective.

hey blog buddies,

they say that life is full of new beginnings,

but what they forgot to tell you is that, life is also full of endings...

for one could not begin without ending something...

even the beginning of life itself is an ending to non-existence...

the beginning of motherhood is the ending of one's life without a life to take care of

the beginning of school is the ending of the holidays

and the beginning of a new relationship is the ending of being single...

as one could not begin without ending,

a cup could no longer be filled without it being emptied...

so, embrace beginnings and let your endings be your memory...

Friends who stay...

hey there blog buddies...
yesterday, a friend of mine tweeted something about losing friends bit by bit...
being witty behind the protection of my keyboard, i replied with
"and those who stay through thick and thin do not know us completely or accept us for who we are"

just think about it...
the friends or "friends" you (still) have now...
do they really know you...
cos personally, i feel like most if not all of them do not really know who i really am...
and i let them know who i want them to know...

however, i wonder if i'm the one that tries to believe a lie when they see the truth in me...
maybe i am a nice person after all...
it's just that i choose to think that i'm not good enough due to my personal struggles...
but how do we measure a person's niceness???
it's very subjective...
you'll never be able to really tell of one is genuine or not...
i guess these walls around me have to fall for me to truly see...

at times, i feel like people will run away if i show them who i really am...
but i will never know unless i try...
it'll come back to the sink or swim again...
and right now, i'm just wading...

now, let's say i'm to show the real me....
who's to say that people will accept me for who i am?
will they genuinely stay or are they staying just because it's polite?

but the bigger question is this,
WHO AM I?
which is real and which is fake...

they say that Geminis have multiple personalities...
i guess it's just a coincidence that i have multiple personalities too cos
they also say that Geminis have a lot of friends....
which for me, i highly doubt so...

so, think about it...
are your friends staying because they don't know your dark side?
or they accept every part of you, the good, the bad and the ugly...

Love is a fairy tale

Hello there blogsphere,
I was walking through the mall today and passed by a jewelry store
Their tagline was "Love's a fairy tale"
This brought me to question, how do you define a fairy tale?

being witty (weirdly self proclaimed), i posted on Facebook, saying,
"They say love is a fairy tale. Beautiful but not real."

well you see, initially, i wanted to put 'unreal' but decided to keep my pessimist persona and used a clearly negative term "not real" rather than the term that could swing either ways...

if you search the interweb for fairy tales, you'll be fascinated by stories with happy endings...
maybe if true love does exist, you will be able to find a happy ending...
what they do not tell you is what happens next...
what happens after "I do"?
uphill or downhill is all up to you

if we're speaking of reality, fairy tales are just fables...
beautiful and inspirational but nonetheless, unreal...
they somehow don't exist in real life and is just not true...
no one will be fully happy with their life...
as long as human longs for more, satisfaction will not come...
when one is not satisfied, one is not happy...

so, it's your choice whether to take love as a fairy tale,
a beautiful journey or just an imagination that will never come true...

signing off,
J

greetings from bore-me-to-death land

hi blog buddies...
it's been a while...
not much has happened...
or rather, i would not really want to talk much about it...
but then again, what's the point of blogging if not to talk about my life...
but the truth is, my life is boring with a capital B...
i wish my life is interesting, but it's not...
i don't get to go out much and tell you guys about my adventures...
but i do wish that i could...
and my social life is pretty dull...
i don't go clubbing and i don't really have many friends who would call me out for drinks...
and right now, i'm just sitting at Starbucks with my Soy Green Tea Frap...
so, that's about it...
that's my life....
i just need to get one that is not like mine right now....

Sink or swim, there's no wading...

one or the other, there's no in between...
yes or no, don't dwell in maybes...
red or blue, let there be no purple...
hold tight or let go, you're not flying a kite...

they say in life, there are choices to be made...
some important, others, not so much...
either way, you go all the way whether it's option 1 or 2...
for it's better to regret what's done than what is not...
and when you make a choice, let your heart pull through...
don't back out but go all the way...

so, sink or swim, there's no wading my little fishes...

xoxo
