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

To Stand or To Fall

i was listening to Chris Tomlin's Lord I Need You in the car a while ago and one line from the bridge just hits me...
(there's a line that hits me first, but the one i'm about to share hits harder)
it's the line
"When I cannot stand I fall on You"

all of a sudden, i got a feeling like as though God said
"Stop struggling, trying so hard to stand. Just fall for I will catch you."
i'll give you a moment to let it sink....

you know, many times, i "call" on God to help me out
to lend me His strength
but at the back of my mind, i may be going at it all by myself...
in a way, i think God's like saying,
"Hey, man. Time to give up and let Me take over."
there are many things in my life, past and present
where i rather suffer alone (as much as i wish and pray and hope someone would come along to help me out)
so, i've been relying on myself a lot...
trying to fly solo cos there's no one who could fly with me...
but what i really need is to fall actually...
to give up my own strength
to let God catch me...
to trust that He WILL catch me...
cos, He promised me this...

just so you know,
falling is not easy...
falling means to completely let go and fall...
you can either be saved or get injured...
there's no in between...
so, if you think it's so easy to fall, think again...
if you want to fall on God, it will mean you need to trust Him COMPLETELY...
if He says, turn left, turn left and not question why or what's ahead...

am I ready for it?
to be blatantly honest, i don't know...
rather, i don't and can't but i know i need to...
and in time, i will....
it's time and i have to choose...

Maybe it's time...

remember when i said it's not too bad being alone?
well, i think it's about time i learn to be independent...
you see, maybe it's time i learn to fly solo...
i've been depending on the people around me for companionship...
always asking if they wanna go out with me...
yes, i know it can be annoying...
i can be annoying...
so, for all those around me, sorry for being a baggage...

 you see, the signs were there all along...
it's not that i don't see them,
i just chose to ignore them...
people saying they're busy...
people ditching me last minute....
maybe because i'm afraid of being alone...
so, i'll try to fly solo and i guess i'll stop trying to go out of my way to please people...

and urm, if you're actually annoyed by me,
please do tell me so i can stay away from you...
