Conquering Trepidations

Image
           Quite often, most people expect so much of you. If not, they deliberately underestimate your capabilities. Along with those, there are personal and spiritual hurdles too, ergo you’ll find yourself pushed down or challenged. I’d like to believe that I do the latter.  It is my hope that you'll decide to do the same after reading this.      I may raise a lot of eyebrows on this statement but I’d like to believe that I was one of the popular kids in high school. No, I was not one of the smart ones. I just happened to be one of those whose presence is commanding because my personality dictates it. I didn’t have a specific group that I go with. I tried my best to mingle with different people as much as I could ─defying the usual teenage status quo to be with a peer group. That way, I could veer away from peer pressure. I know, I was being hard at myself but that was a personal decision that I promised myself since ...

Brokenhearted On February 2013 :'(

I didn't really plan on writing a blog at this time of the day (it's past 1AM as of this writing), especially that I'm down with flu.  But since I slept late in the afternoon I can't make myself sleep early for the night. I was just planning to jot down my passwords in my secret notebook (it's not so secret now, is it?) but my hands are shaking way too much.  The effect of Salbutamol in my system can be far worse when the dosage is not monitored closely.  Believe me, I don't give a rat's arse with my hands trembling as if I'm nervous of something but then I can't get anything jotted down without affecting my handwriting.  I tell you, it is very difficult to write in such poor state. Oh well, I owe you my readers an update. I wonder how many of you celebrated Chinese New Year?  I'm told that my Mom's side has some Chinese descent but I can't confirm that (and that's way beside my point).  The Chinese culture was showcased around ...

Deadline

So the last day of January brings forth a DEADLINE. :) It can be any deadline!  It could be work related, a goal you've set or a bill you need to pay.  Deadlines just comes in all forms and sizes.  Mine just is a deadline that is far more personal. So here I go again,  I'm trying to tell you something without really telling you anything.  And yet, you still find yourself reading, right?  Ha!  The irony of choices. We can't always stick to the choices we make. It's like fulfilling a promise, and yet when you're compromised, you will more likely break the promise you made, hoping you can just ask for a chance to prove yourself later. The truth of the matter, however is, much as everyone deserves second chances, not everyone gets the privilege of having a second chance. When you fall victim to an unfortunate circumstance that you can't meet a deadline, you will need to put up a brave front.  Deadlines are deadlines. If you are i...

Be Modest

If you don't like what you see and so long as you are not wronged by it, keep your opinion to yourself. And please, don't bring up 'honesty' on the table because what is needed from you is 'modesty' most especially when you're educated/civilized. posted on fb Friday, December 7 2012 @ 23:36
