Why Can't we Forget About it?!

The degree of loving or hating someone is based mostly on how they treat you. The better they do the more you like them and they worse you do the more you dislike them. There are people who don't mean what they do just got short temper and their acts and swiftier than their thought then get into real trouble.

Above all the people there are our family, the ones we love and care. Even if they aren't good we still care about them. Not everyone has the same luck with their family, some are from heaven, others are perfect and there are those who blame their fate for having a not-so-good one. In every case those problems happen here too no matter what kind of family you have.

It's kinda hard loving them back when all their action just force you on nothing but hating. But again you think, at the end they are my family, why hate them?! Why not just forget about it?! Then again they do something else and make you forget what you just told yourself few min. ago.

They thing is hating isn't any good, either for your relation or your own health. I'm saying this from a personal experience that hating only makes the heart week and the mind busy with useless stuff. You can't really do anything to them in revange for what they did to you casue you simply aren't like them, so why not just forget about it?!

I know it's hard but you should consider two things:
1) They are your family who you should love and not hate
2) You aren't like them, be better than what they are.

Do you know what I do whenever they do something that makes me hate them?! I just ignore and laugh about it sometimes. It's not easy with every situation but if you try you can.

Life is short on hating something, instead you can occupay you mind with other useful, creative and productive stuff. So why not do that instead?!

Thoughts and Wishes on Family

Last year I did less posts about myself and made more general ones. Since this is my own blog and I'm willing to share my personal life too I'll talk a bit more about my thoughts and how I see things from my point of view. 

Family is where fights go on for most of the time with me. I know that we don't really mean it but sometimes we express our opinion in a bit harsh way still we all agree on one thing at the end. It's necessary no matter how small things are, you can't ignore feelings, kids, opinions, gifts, going-out, little chit-chats and all the other stuff that should go in between. Even fights are essential like what really matters that you all are on one result at the end. 

 
For many years now I thought if you don't get the supposed love and care you shouldn't pay attention to it cause it's not important. Days pass by and prove me wrong. The reason for me to do this is not to feel so miserable like I keep on blaming my bad luck for having such family instead I told myself it's not that much of an important so if you don't get it no big deal. I wanted to ease on myself but I didn't look for one to fill up that gab in me. 

No matter how small and silly things look or a kid's talk and wishes sound they are all important and that's how love grows. Sisters are okay, since we are girls we can go with each other but boys have always been a trouble for me. I know I'm 23 already now and my brother will finish high school soon but we're not apart yet so I can still try with him. 

Though they say the one who lost it can't give it, I'll try my best to give my family what I didn't receive from the in the first place. It's the hard times that shows how your family care about you. Mine did show some and I'm happy for that, even it's broken it's still good and that all that matters. 

If I get to build my family I'll give my all to them and make the best one there will ever be.

And it's Here

May you have a blessed 2013 new year.

Greetings will be going left and right, from east to west for the New Year. I’ll be adding my voice to them and wish along a happy and cheerful year. May it start with happy events and signs for things you were long waiting for.

 
Last year still looks new to me, as if we are in the beginning but we’re done already that shows how much time I spent focusing on one thing. Well, that’s over now and we’re off to a new start. This year will be different by god’s willing, I’m planning to carry things the other way. In fact, I already prepared for them in advance since December last year, and my blog is included as well.

I’ll take it as something not done everyday so I’ll give more space to myself and my readers. I’ll take my time and give a new look too.

Running a blog isn’t as easy as I thought maybe cause I did it the hard way sort of, but the lovely part about it is the writing itself. I love it so much and like talking my thoughts in here. Though it’s stressful somehow if you try to make it 100% perfect I was thinking of doing more. Just few days ago read this thing about how should one not worry what others think about him cause it’s the right and mature thing to do still we do look for their thoughts. Taking this in mind I’m planning to make a blog for my Japanese-kanji learning progress and one for my plushie too. I won’t make it compolsary as I did with this one but take it rather easy and write whenever it’s right.

The Japanese will be for my learning, tips to give away and people’s feedback and review of what I write. Plushie is almost the same, I’m not thinking of any tutorials just the way my softies turn out and stuff to give away. As for this blog I’ll try to make it something new with more creative and activating stuff.

As for now these are the new resolutions I have for the New Year. They are for online stuff only and I do have some outside the web world. What are your new resolutions for this year?!

A Whole Year Blog

So, we're at the very end today. The last day of 2012, it was great. 

One of the goals I had for this year is the have a full year posted blog, and here it is. I add few more labels to this place I was hoping to have it a bit more exciting but this is what I ended up with. I surely love what I write cause I do it from my heart though there are a lot of my favorite I choose some to share with you as all time loveable ones

They're all from my personal talks... 

When All Troubles Gather Up

Let Me Give you a Hand

Let's Talk Positively

More Than a Reason

There's actually more and more and more. I just picked up a few. 
Please do share which ones you liked the most

And There it Goes

So, it's the end of the year already! 

We started this year with many dreams and wishes. Some are done and some are missed still we did are best and lived it through the very end. I did all I can but I still missed really big issue and hoping to make them up this year. 

Here are a bit of what I accomplished this year: 

* Kept up this blog for a post everyday
* Found a new job and stayed there for a year
* Got a bit more social
* Got back to my Japanese

Sadly there are the only things but at least I did some better than none. I discovered new things and learnt more about the world and people. Troubles and problems taught me how to deal with life and people that I never thought I'll met like them in my life. 

Overall, it was an okay year. I hope yours was okay too. 
Do share what was it like for you =) 

Think Before You Speak

Before it used to be a saying I hear from wise people's mouth but when I really went through it I realized what it meant by every seconds passage. 

Honestly! You should think before you say anything, you might end up with an eternity punishment for something you said without really meaning it. The thing is when my boss asked me if it's okay to share his secretary's work with me I didn't think about it for a sec. and gave an answer right away later, just when everything was over already I noticed that it's not fair to go that way but he didn't take it back though it's not right from the first place. 

Now, every time I see her playing cause her work is less thanks to my big mouth and small thinking I know what does this saying mean. Later, when I ever face anything even if it's a no-big-deal seeming thing, I consider before giving an answer. 

Let others experience be a lesson to you too and don't let this happen to you. 

[Re-Post] Five Minutes Friday: Roar

So this is the last 5 Min. Friday for this year and starting from the next week 
I'll write new ones but for now I'll just repost an old one, the first one I posted this year.

A High School Speech

A speech given at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school.

He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.

You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. 
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, 
so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now.

Chocolate Puff Pastry Bites

Puff pastry has to be one of the seven wonders of the culinary world. For me at least, it’s right up there with caramelizing sugar and emulsions. I know how it works, I understand the science, but doggonit if it doesn’t make my head shake when I watch the magic happen.

In a nutshell, puff pastry is made by folding the buttery dough over and over and over onto itself so when its baked, it expands like a blowfish on steroids. Traditionally, it was time-consuming to make, but now we have all these shortcuts and even frozen versions, which I hate to admit, I LOVE to use.  When unexpected company drops by to say hello, one can take a thawed sheet of puff pastry, shove in some chocolate chips, cover with coconut flakes and bake it all in the oven for quick sweet appetizer or mini dessert.

These little puffs start out looking like ravioli, but they rise (and rise) to yield little flaky cubes with melty chocolate centers. By all means, experiment – I imagine adding a little strawberry jam or orange marmalade to the mix wouldn’t hurt. Using your own puff pastry instead of buying it frozen would up the awesomness of the dish, but there’s nothing wrong with the pre-made frozen kind, especially if you’re pressed for time.

[ReBlog] Be Thankful

A little RePost from ones of the posts in this blog =)

 

Be Thankful for the difficult times
During those times you grow

Be Thankful for your limitations
Because they give you the opportunities for improvements

Be Thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons

Be Thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character

Be Thankful when you're tired and weary
Because it means that you've made a difference

TEQUILA AND SALT

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. 
You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just l like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

And always remember..... 
When life hands you lemons, Ask for Gin and Ginger beer and call me over!!

Five Minutes Friday: Review

Well, as I mentioned before Lisa-jo won't be posting any new 5 Minutes Friday until the new year so I'd like to take this change and write a little review and opinion about this cool idea. 

When I first saw this I thought it was a difficult thing to do, considering the time I should write in but then I said I'll give it a try. It was really fun, I mean like writing without thinking and just letting your mind say what it has without worrying whether it's right or not. I felt honest with myself and saw the things I have in me. 

By time my typing, reading and even thinking got fast. I got to read what others have to say, the things their mind wonder about for the same word, or topic as in this post's case. It was wonderful. I sometimes wonder where people get such great ideas from?! Guess it's by doing odd and new stuff you get something of your own. 

I hoped that I'll write one today but I remember that she's holding it for a new fresh start. That's my thought about 5 Minutes Friday, what's yours?!

Your True Worth

A man was giving a literature about believing in one’s self then he pulled out a 500 note from his wallet and said: “If I were to give this away to anybody for free?! Who would take it!?” Many people raised their hands in favor of taking it, then he squished the note with his plame and asked again ; "Does anybody still want it?!" The hands didn't go down, there were still up. Again he throw it on the ground and stepped on it, it was very filthy and got some dirt on it, lastly he asked; "Anyone!?" They still wanted it. 

Then he said, we people are like the note of money. We fail down, get upset and even get some depression dirt on us but we don't lose our value just like you guys wanted it cause despite getting through all that it remind the same in the value. 

So, that's how life is. You will fall down and go through a lot but your worth will be the same. The factors and going through won't change a bit from it.   

Laws of Success

The great sin -- Gossip.


The great crippler -- Fear.


The greatest mistake -- Giving up.


The most satisfying experience -- Doing your duty first


The best action -- Keep the mind clear and judgment good.


The greatest blessing -- Good health.


The biggest fool - The man who lies to himself.


The great gamble -- Substituting hope for facts.


The most certain thing in life -- Change.


The greatest joy -- Being needed.
