Celebrate!!!

Happy (belated) International Women’s Day!!! ^O^

It is a day we (women) globally celebrate our economic, political, and social achievements, according to wikipedia @_@ In the past decades women are growing stronger and more independent, no more relying on men to survive, absolutely capable of living on our own, in some cases, even surpassing the Y genes XD

And the whole world is now proud of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDXDXDXDXD

But then again respect for women shouldn’t be displayed only on 8th of March every year. It should be shown every single day, every second you breathe, because women are amazing. Oh come on isn’t your mom amazing???? O_O We give WAYYY more than we receive =__________=

So this is something else I would like to say before I sign off.

STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!!!!! IT IS NOT MANLY TO TORTURE YOUR WIFE OR OTHER FEMALES!!! YOU ARE A COWARD FOR DOING SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I’m done for today ^^

Again, Happy (belated) International Women’s Day! ^O^

Are you Yourself? And are you Happy?

How many times have you heard it?

“Just be yourself.”

The saying is all over the place, but how many of us actually know what it means? In fact, how many of us actually know WHO we are?

Now that exams are over I have a lot of time to think, think, and think. Yes I’m probably over-thinking but really, life isn’t simple at all.

But then I’m not thinking about trivial matters like what to eat, or daydreaming about my future. By daydreaming I mean flying across the globe, indulging in spas and marrying a prince (Ok that’s too much I know and no I’m not serious about it I wouldn’t marry a prince no way @___@)

From my survey on online bloggers these days it seems that to “be yourself” is to be, well, rude, and vulgar. A whole load of cursing follows a little trouble, and mannerisms are very much ignored. They go all out on their blog, scolding everyone and everything they detest. But they are just “being themselves”.

So does that mean that polite bloggers who don’t swear on their blogs are not being themselves?

Searching for our inner identity is never easy. Even now I have to admit I don’t really know what I want, what I love, what I need. I don’t know what I feel when it comes to certain issues, what I should do, and what I MUST do.

I think it takes a lot of courage to accept truths. It was far too easy telling others to “get over it”, “get on with life”, or “just face it”, “that’s what’s happening right now and you have to accept it”.

It’s far too easy.

So easy that when others are saying it to us, we realise for ourselves how hard it is to accept the truth dancing naked in front of our eyes.

And I think that’s what it’s all about when it comes to getting to know ourselves. Accepting truths.

While we cannot help but hide behind masks to survive in this society, it is important that we take a little time off our busy “acting” to think about our own actions and feelings. Things that we keep hidden from the outside world. Things that only God knows besides ourselves.

That is, to me, what happiness is. To embrace our faults as we do our innocence. To accept who we are inside, and to unearth our inner secrets as we grow wise.

Secrets that even we don’t know about ourselves, in most cases.

Why am I doing this? Is it because… I am talking about this kind of secrets =)

You have to have a lot of courage to find the truth, in my opinion.

So now I ask this.

Do you know who you are? Are you happy?

Yes I know I’m over-thinking @________________@

“Gossip Girl”

You know how it happens right? A group of girls get together and the next thing you know you’re giggling about that new guy in school, how he seems to have the hots for your best friend and wondering when or how he’s going to make his move, if ever he is going to.

I went to Lina’s barbecue party on New Year’s Eve last year, and we found five or six of our old school (Convent Butterworth) friends gathered on her front porch. All of them went off to college after Form 5, some even went outstation. I haven’t seen some of them in…*counts*…5 years @@

Anyway @@ They were talking about some guy at this girl’s college who kept stalking her and stuff. Then they were talking about things and people we don’t know about, which makes me and Jes feel rather outcast. In the end we were the ones burning the chicken wings while the rest of these college girls sat around gossiping and waiting for food.

Truth is, I don’t really fancy gossips. It’s prying and nosing in on business that doesn’t concern you. Plus, it’s just wasting time when you could be doing something much more productive. Like exercising, for instance (You can lose weight too!)

Besides, who would like to BE the hot gossip aound school? It’s a nightmare! @____________@

Ok maybe not @___________________________________@

But I sure as hell would be annoyed if somebody gossiped about ME =_= I’d much rather be discussing about recycling and politics and Padini Authentics and clothes and dresses and Jack Russells and holidays and ok I’ll stop now X_________________X

But yeah, to me gossips are fun, but not too much of it. For instance I really do not care what this girl’s boyfriend did for her on Valentine’s and etc. I only care about getting my Padini cap now XDXDXDXD

Should I get contact lenses? @_@

Spread the Love~

In less than an hour’s time, it will be Valentine’s Day.

As odd as it is, I never got to spend Valentine’s with any of my ex’s before. We either celebrate it a day before or after the 14th.

Okay I’ve had three ex’s =_= And I am dating my fourth boyfriend.

But that really doesn’t make me a BAD girl you know =o= I was with ONE MAN AT A TIME. I consider myself very faithful =_=

Okay anyway! I’m not here to talk about my dating history @@ It’s just something at work that struck my curiosity.

Almost everyone of us there has a boyfriend/girlfriend, and they were joking about receiving pink or blue roses on Valentine’s, which is tomorrow @@ All of them asked me, “How are you celebrating with your guy?”

I just said, “He’s working,” with a smile @@

Then I was asking them if there’s a spare box I can wrap up for my mum, and they asked, “Is it her birthday?”

@@lll

The thing is, whenever someone is talking about Valentine’s, their first thought is the boy/girl relationship, as though it is essential to spend the day in your lover’s arms @@ When I told them that I bought a gift for my mum for Valentine’s, their eyes literally became the size of a 20 cent coin @_@

Valentine’s, to me, is a day where you express your love for the ones you care about, and those who care about you, not just the person you’re currently dating. No other woman in this world can love me more than my mother, who gave birth to me, who cooked for me, and brought me up. Similarly, no other man can love me more than my father, who is now alone in KL, working his ass off just so the rest of his family can eat and live well.

Yes, not even my boyfriend can love me more than that.

Which is why I got my mum a gift before I got one for my boyfriend =) This is what I got her~

I like that cow so I just put them together XD Heck they can spend Valentine’s together ROFLROFLROFL XDDDDDDDDDD *slapped* I just love the papaya scent *_* It’s just heavenly~ *_______*

I’m waiting for my guy to get me the Body Scrub and Lip Balm XDXDXDXD Hehe I love my Darling! XDXDXD

The Best Person to Date on Different Occasions

But of course! The company you keep pretty much decides how your day turns out O_O

Author’s Note: This is all based on the opinions of me, the author. And do note that I am a girl =_= So if you’re a guy and you don’t agree with what I typed, switch the genders.

When you go for a party, bring your girlfriends. Don’t worry about being alone for the night. Best not to bring any males ^_^ Enjoy! Let loose! Just don’t strip and dance on the table. That’s just trashy =_=

When you go shopping, grit your teeth, take a deep breath, and ask the metrosexual. Up-to-date shopping tips and and useful insights when dressing to impress men *hehe~ XD* Plus, your best companion when picking a birthday gift for your guy friend =) Now isn’t that a full package?

When you are studying for an exam, hit the library with the class geek. Oh come on, who says geeks are unattaractive? They’re hardworking, studious, and smart. The best person to talk to when you don’t get that math formula. Besides, you’re studying!!! Sheesh!

When you’re going to dinner, bring your Dad. Why not? He pays all the bills, order what you love to eat, and you can have a little quiet heart-to-heart chat. Which other man in this world could possibly love you more?

While you’re doing chores, do it with your siblings. You get to grumble together about all the stuff that need to be done and scold your mother behind her back ohohoho *slapped* Okay it’s just fun to wash the car and play with the hose @____________@

When you go for a movie, bring yourself. And by that I mean no one else ^_^ Just enjoy the movie! Why must you drag someone along and be distracted for the next 3 hours? @_______@ A waste of time and money.

Another person best suited with all of the above occasions is your boyfriend. One who is fun to hang out with at a party, patient enough to wait while you browse through racks and racks of shoes, responsible enough to encourage you with your studies, humourous enough to entertain you throughout dinner, helpful with your chores, and quiet in the movie theater.

If you have found such a man, Congratulations ;D
