U chose your run over me. To hell with all your promises!

Someone out there will fulfil my dreams with me.. I just hasn't found her. 

Maybe some men aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free til they find someone just as wild to run with them.

Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something more to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It.....doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order though. 

If it's meant to happen, it will.

You are not too old. You are not too young. You are not too poor. You are never 'not good enough'. You are not any of the things that stop you from doing what must be done. 

You are right here. You, are just right.

Life changes every minute of every day. You gain friends and lose some of them along the way. You tend to realize that friends are not really friends, and those people you hate end up as the people you’ll be really close with.


You’ll find love, and then you eventually lose it, too. You realize that along the way, you have been loved. You laugh so hard that you start to cry. You start to regret the things you have done, and you’re still happy that you learned from them. You have your ups and your trade share of downs.

You watch good movies. You watch a few bad ones. You look at others and you always wished that you were them. After a while, you’ll be contented with who you are.

You love life, and then you hate it. In the end, you just find yourself to be living life no matter what’s thrown to you

Sometimes all you need is a round of reckless trolley-racing, exploring a new eatery round the corner of the street for a well-deserved fat-ass meal, taking silly photos with an ice-cream mustache, laughing till you ache in the cheeks over idiotic jokes, sharing a conversation on the roof top, singing like a broken-record while walking pass every shop, making a complete fool out of yourself by conversing in the most ridiculous mexican accent.

Sometimes, all you need is to let yourself go, have a good laugh, and only then I realized it's been awhile since I felt this happy, inside out.

There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it.

learning how to see; 

If you want to make something new, start with understanding. Understanding what’s already present, and understanding the opportunities in what’s not. Most of all, understanding how it all fits together.

But would you have the guts to go this slow? Perhaps if you stop resisting time, you'll understand better, you'll realize deeper.

An opportunity to grow.. and let go.

There are so many words, such little time to express them. I can tell you that this was the best year for me in a long time. A few bumps in the road… surely.. but nothing like before. Nothing that I couldn’t endure. I’ve grown so damn much, wised up a fair bit and I can feel it within myself. I realized that though I’ve hurt many in the past, this is my present. The only difference I can make is NOW, in THIS moment, I cannot go back in time.

This is my life to live and I do not want to spend it in sorrow.. though I shall not dare say that doing so is a burden, I believe that out of great sadness you develop great strength. Whatever happens to us in our journey, there always exists an opportunity to grow. I've learnt that I just have to trust within myself first...

Then I will be ready to take the step to move ahead.

Coffee Stained pages:

That’s how people live, by telling stories. What’s the first thing a kid says when he learns how to talk? “Tell me a story.” That’s how we understand who we are, where we come from.

Stories are everything. 

You’ll never know, maybe that time when you smiled and greeted the stranger, that stranger could have his/her life changed because of it. You’ll never know, maybe that kid sitting by himself is just waiting for someone to approach him and be his friend. You’ll never know, the rude cashier had a tough day with her family. You’ll never know, maybe you have already met the one just by doing one good act. You’ll never know until you try.

My idea of travel: travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It's old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It's waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It's MacDonald's drive-thru being a luxury. It's the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. Travel is tipping 10% and being embraced for it. Travel is the same white T-shirt and jeans again tomorrow. travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. It's a street full of bearded backpackers looking down at maps. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It's the rediscovery of walking somewhere. It's sharing a can of root beer on a overnight train with a new friend. Travel is "Maybe I don't have to do it that way when I get back home ♥

It's the wound we can't see that caused us the most heartache.

Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That’s the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes.

Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.

You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed.

You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with cigarettes, with work, with jars of peanut butter, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life.

You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them. Strength will see you through. YES.

Everything that you have been through has allowed you to get to this point in time. Everything that you are going through will get you to the next point and all the ones after. Keep going.

No matter how bad the storm gets keep pressing forward knowing that clear skies await you. No matter how you tremble and shake never give up. Get to the other side of your fear, and trust that what lies there is worth fighting for. All that you want is worth fighting, struggling, sacrificing, and waiting for.

Go on, and continue putting forth even the smallest of efforts to sustain your pursuit. Don’t ever hang it up.

I've learnt that no matter what happens in life or how bad it is today, life goes on and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learnt that you can tell a person by the way he/she do handles 3 things: A rainy day, a broken heart and decision to make.

I've learnt that making a "living" is not the same as making a "life". I've learnt sometimes life give you a second chance. I've learnt that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mit on both hands, you need to give something back. I've learnt that whenever you decide something with a open heart, you eventually will make the right decision. I've learnt that whenever I've pain, I'm not the only one.

I've learnt that I still have a lot to learn. I've learnt that people will forget what you said, what you did to them, but not how you make them feel.

The only way out is to get through and learn from it.

Most good things don’t come easy. –
Easy is to think about improving. Difficult is to put these thoughts into action. Easy is to stumble and fall. Difficult is to get back up. Easy is to judge the mistakes of others. Difficult is to recognize your own mistakes. Easy is to receive. Difficult is to give. Easy is to promise something. Difficult is to fulfill that promise.
We realize, most of the things we need in life are simple, but not easy. The difficult, however, is often an indication that it’s worthwhile.

You don't get to choose when or who you meet, but you do get to choose who you hold on to.
