Back On Track

Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going.

Indeed, and as of the moment, I feel that surge of motivation. I should start working really hard for all or most of the things that I intend to accomplish. There's so much that I want to do that it's giving me the chills.

And while some people decide to change because they are bitter, jealous or angry at something or someone, I will become a better person because that's what I want and that's what's gonna make me happy. It's for the better. It is never too late to start something new or continue what you had taken for granted.

Sweet Escape

Right now, all I want to do is relax and do some 'soul-searching' in one of these serene places...

From The Odd Life of Timothy Green

From Disney's The Secrets of the Magic Gourd

I also like the location of the film--The Lucky One. And because Summer is near...

You Can If You Will :)

I thought I'm not in good shape to work today. Actually, I should be working at this time. But I just couldn't stop myself from starting up something I know I should've done a long time ago--writing stories from ideas that randomly comes up my mind. I have a lot of them, then and now. Sometimes I note them down, most of the time I rely on my sloppy memory hoping I could harvest or re-trace those ideas should the right moment comes. Now I realized I should 'act' as soon as I'm struck or overflowing with creative juices.

For now, I'll make some drafts of those stories which I'm hoping I could finish well. I don't aim for novels or whatnots; just stories good enough for sharing. Wish me luck! *fingers crossed* :D

Faith in Humanity = Restored

I have this sort of on and off relationship with the so-called faith in humanity. I've always thought that the world has already ended... ever since many people in the world have gone overboard with their nasty deeds... I didn't want to lose faith in humanity--not while I'm still alive and I know a lot of great, kindhearted people.

Maybe I started feeling pathetic when I experienced something heartbreaking, which I now realized is not worth the pain and the worries. Now that I've decided to move on and give people a chance, I'm beginning to appreciate every small act of kindness and love and respect. My faith in humanity has been somewhat restored, especially with the help of the following videos and images:

It doesn't matter what others do to you. It's how you respond to them that counts.



A simple act of kindness and every little thing we do to help... they have this domino or ripple-like effect...



God communicates... if only we just listen...



Being kind and helpful is not something to be ashamed of.  Do it even if others don't. Be the example.

 But humanity still got a long way to go. My heart bleeds for this. Also because I don't know if I am strong enough to be the change that I want to see in the world. Hopefully, small things really count...

When Gluttony Attacks

At last! I have finally decided to post something gastronomic...

And of course, I am first going to mention the awesomeness of my favorite couple: May and Rey Prader.

They just have this habit and talent of making people ecstatic through their delectable meals.

Here are some of those mouth-watering dishes that I am so craving for as of now:

 Chopsuey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buko Heaven (but my all-time fave is May's Macaroni Salad)

ham & cheese pops

     

Pandan Chicken

     

YangChow Rice & Shanghai Rolls

     

I better visit them one of these days :D

Be Thankful It Happened

"When someone treats you like you’re just one of many options, help them narrow their choice by removing yourself from the equation.  Sometimes you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do.  Because sometimes you can mean almost nothing to someone who means so much to you.  It’s not pride – it’s self-respect."

Sad but true, right? Reality bites and truth hurts. But you always have the choice to either let go and move on or keep holding on and suffer from neglect. You can't avoid meeting people who would eventually leave or hurt you. What you can always take control of is how you respond to the circumstances.

I really hope I can walk the talk, especially now that I'm feeling so down. Even so, other people have it worse. I should be grateful for whatever I have and whatever I am or will become. *cheers*

Sometimes...

But, this too shall pass... :D
