The Mirror and the bed

Happy? Content?.. at peace with yourself.. comfortable.. how do you know if you really are Happy-content-at peace and comfortable with youreslf?.. how do know if that smile on your face is really genuine? How do you wake up in the morning feeling ready to face the world and go to sleep without any regrets?.. are you really who others see you as?

The Mirror and the Bed.. both have special meanings to me..

The Mirror- You can be the most good looking person on earth. The Smartest. The most Popular. The Riches. but if you cannot make the person in the mirror look back at you and be proud of all the things you have done.. then happiness per se is not found..

The Bed- To sleep, is to be at peace. To rest your mind..To rest, is a daily act of surrendering.. no force is involve. If you cannot sleep in peace, if you cannot surrender , you are not at rest.. therefore you are not comfortable.. happiness in freedom again is not found...


Me being me, like looking at things in different ways.. oh yeah.. isnt it amazing how these two objects are found in our rooms.. In our own private place.. these two things that see's us in a way no one else does.. Hypocrite detectors I would like to call them.. =)..How the first thing you see is the mirror and the last place you end up is on your bed.. You look in the mirror.. you reflect back on your bed..

So ask yourself.. are you proud of the way you have been living? can you
look in the mirror? Can you say all this while your prayers at night are
sincere.?.

The INGERISH

Sometimes, the english language makes me laugh.. so much so, that this pass few days I have been gathering some common phrases in the english world (those who have me in their facebook, would understand =D).. anyway.. these are a few sentences that we normally use that sometimes does not make sense.. plus some smart come backs that you wish you could say..

1) Not back yet?.. well obviously, me standing here is just another fragment of your imagination..
2) Are you all right?.. No, Its just normal for me to tear up when I accidently stab my toe...
3) I know exactly how you feel... well, to say exactly is abit impossible, counting on the place and the time, and how things happen..
4) You look sick.. gee thanks, as if me coughing and sneezing my brains out was not obvious enough..
5).. it actually means... so if it actually means that, than why doesn't it just say that??

Paradoxically English

English is a very peculiar language that I will grant

E.g. there’s no ham in hamburger or egg in the eggplant

Many foreign visitors never quite manage to grapple

With the fact that there is no pine or apple in a pineapple

English muffins were not invented in England in fact

And French fries were not invented in France to be exact

But if foreigners can’t understand us I don’t give a fig

If a guinea pig is not from Guinea and its not even a pig

So what if Quicksand takes you down slowly, who cares?

And does it matter if the Boxing rings are really squares

A new perspective.. thanks to manda.. aiyo..

I'm no movie critic.. just someone who enjoys watching movies. i like Movies that can make you learn something new about the world, looking through life in another person's eyes, or movies that tell you a story about the a world that you never imagine.. . haha.. anyway, no, dont lable it as indie films.. I like all sort of movie, as long as it can grab my attention.. I enjoy comedy, sad ones with hallmarks moments that makes you cry ten thousand times, war movies, dark comedies, cartoon.. but honestly I am more of a fan for 'its a hard life but you are not alone' kind of movies, some would call it harsh but I call it a good reality check.. part of me thinks, my liking towards movie like this , is mean.. it makes me feel guilty. Just another audience, in front of the tv.. sitting on my couch, comfortable.. while infront of me is someone is who is suffering.. especially movies tht are claimed to be based on real life experience.. part of me wish it is just another media gimmick.. just to add more spice into the soup (yeah, quote me).. than, looking back on the wish.. I feel even more guilty for denying someone's strength... you, see, my complex mind, just goes on wondering, what if's?, should have, could have, would have, but when life gets tough.. I switch off the tv, put the dvd in the case and life goes on..for me... because I cant do anything else..

anyway, last night Manda and i watched a movie called 'The Kite Runner', yes another one of those, books turn movie.. and yes the movie did justice to the book. Its about loyalty, friendship and second chances.. yes, another one of those movies tht is base on real life..with a smack of reality and whole lot of feelings.I cried like there was no tommorrow.. It aroused many emotions, guilt, pain, happiness, anger and disgust.. questions like how could the world be so 'evil', why do bad things happen to good people.. I would go as far as.. how could God allow this?.. yes to the point of sleepless night, to the point where I look at myself and ask God, if i could make one person life a little less painful, I want in.. If u have not seen or read it.. make sure u do it, but If you are the kind tht cant handle pain.. maybe its not for you

A new prespective?.. if I ever have a son, i would never let him walk alone. I would send him for Karate lessons.. I would teach him how to defend himself properly and forget about being macho, if he is in trouble he should be brave enough to shout for help!

Here's to a new start

Its not the situation that makes the person, but its the choice we make - (Tacha, in the toilet, 11:4opm .. yeah quote me)..

A whole new level of positive thinking..

I wanted to call this blog post 'Tachanism'.. but I fear for Rain's crazy girl fans out there sueing me for plagiarism..(they are scary like that)... haha, back to the post, One day while playing UNO Stacko with my sisters.. I found out that I have a whole new level for postive thinking.. went it was Lilian's turn the whole stack of Uno blocks already looked like it had reach its ultimate capacity to stay still, so with my very positive mind set I said...

" IT's going to FALL!, I am a positive Thinker, I am positive it is going to fall"

Another incident of 'Tachanism' is, when Adrian, ask me.. do you see the glass as half full, or half empty.. I answered

"As long as I know it is safe to drink, I am Happy"

.. He dub me as Over positive.. =D

My reason to live a good life

I am proud to say, I am one of those lucky few to have a wonderful relationship with my siblings. Ever since I could remember I have always been surrounded by sisters. The art of sharing and the power of influence have always been a part of my life. I am all kind of sisters.. I am a yonger sister, an older sister, I am a middle sister, I am a blood sister, I am the second sister.. (i better stop, or I'll sound like I am about to break into a Rap song.. Yo yo.. word!).. haha..

So for the Gawai holidays, God has given me the chance to really spend some bonding time with all my sisters.. Its amazing how we easily click, how we all could laugh at the same silly things and even have a meaningful conversation.. just so you know our ages range from 21-3 1/3 year olds.. haha.. yup!.. forget DNA or blood WE all have a special bond.. and a strong one too.

Manda- The oldest, The Boss.. The Leader.. I have known her for 20 1/2 years.. (i can hear you all go DUH').. haha.. just to make it sound cool la.. ok.. yeah, I can never imagine a life without her. She has always been there for me.. I mean always.. As the older sister I have seen her go through things that I know if it was me.. I would have run away, But Manda is never a quiter, She is strong, she always had the attitude of looking for a solution and not the problem. She has a way with words too, the way she writes makes u feel things that only a person who writes from the heart can bring out. I look up to her, and feel proud that she is my older sister, like I said I have seen her brake expectations, tumble down obstacles.. so when there are times where she 'turns human' is the hardest for me to see.. I hate seeing her cry.. I cant handle it.. but it made me realise strong people can break down too.. times like that I try to be her pillar, But nevertheless she has always came out stronger. there is also the other side of her that no many people have seen.. Her silly side.. the side of her trying to sing to Beyonce' s song and coming out of the bathroom and without fail asking 'Can you smell me?'.. haha.. silly, ever since we were young she has always been the commander of the pack, what ever she says goes.. she is also like a Manner school teacher to all four of us.. please and thank you, will always remind me of her.. she is the one to run to for hugs and late night talks.

Lilian- The 3rd sister.. but she would put it as.. My first younger sister.. haha.. silly, that revelation came to her one night. To me she is like 'Jughead' if u are a fan of Archie comic's you would undersatnd me.. This sister of mine can eat alot and never gain weight. I can honestly say that Lilian is not like any typical 15 year olds, instead of being a fan of Miley cyrus or the jonas brothers, she likes things that are unique eg:Pirates.. haha.. jks, but seriously , she doesnt comform into the normal pre-teen annoying- rebel- know it all and no- one- understands- me attitude.. if you know what I mean. haha.. she is loyal, and respectful. To me she live by the saying if you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all, and because of that she doesn't gossip much. I as an older sister can proudly say that Lilian is someone who is very fortunate to be content with her herself and has high value at a young age.

Jasmine- 'Pendek'.. (althought, I think I dont have the right to call her that anymore) haha.. the Baby of the four, Jasmine is someone who I think everyone wants to be friends with. Always caring and sharing everything that she has.. it is always..'er.. ok la'.. with her. Jasmine is funny, especially with her friends.. like me she value her friendship with others.. She is also easily amuse (even my 10 cent jokes can make her burst out laughing).. but to me the best think about jasmine is that she is a very forgiving person, she is slow to anger.. Thats why I think she should be a nurse or a teacher..

Andrea- The oldest of the twins. The one with straight hair.. haha.. Andrea will be a school athelet one day. this girl has the energy that would put the energizer bunny to shame! haha.. Very smart, if you could hear her speak you would be amaze, she can string sentences that sounds like what an adult would say.. its so weird to hear a 3 1/3 year to tell you to 'wait first ok?'

Audrey- The baby.. The Boss..the one with curly hair.. Amanda the second..haha.. just like Manda, what ever she says goes, and also she is definately not a quitter, (she was very determine to catch all the ducks in the park that she ended up shooing them all away haha) and also like Lilian she has one of the best appetie that any mother would be proud of. Everyone likes to see Audrey eat it makes you happy to see her happy..
