The girl who can't be moved

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this guy can you tell him where I am?"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken-hearted girl
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

'cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Girl you can't stay here"
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year..."
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If he changes his mind this is the first place he will go

'cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the girl that's waiting on a guy
There are no holes in her shoes but a big hole in her world

Maybe I'll get famous as the girl who can't be moved
Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the girl who can't be moved

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move...

Eenie meenie mynie mo...

Have you ever come across a situation where you have to make a critical decision?
Or a situation when you actually have to make a choice either this or that?
And upon that decision, your whole future life will be affected of it?

We make decision every single second in our life...
We decide whether to wake up or sleep...
We decide whether to drive slower or faster...
We decide whether to drink iced tea or hot coffee...
We decide whether to work or play...

But that's not related to my topic here...

You see, I have always been someone who's having a hard time even to decide to buy my own pair of jeans...
It's not about being choosy or over-analyzing...
It's about not being confident of your own decision...
Scared of choosing the wrong or the bad one and throwing away the supposed to be the better choice...

One of my bad habits is already decide but at the same time still thinking would it have been different should I choose the other way round...
That's bad right? Not able to let go...
So no matter what, I won't be satisfied still no matter which decision I took...

That's when close friends, family comes to the rescue...
Cause they help in assuring us of the decision we made...
The most important thing is that we trust them for seeing things that probably we missed, the factors of the decision making...

Still no matter what others tells you, what your own hearts and instincts tells you are the most important...
I'm one of those who has always listen to my instinct...
Most of the time, my instinct never betray me...
But sometimes usually for the most critical decision, my instinct would always have conflict with my brain...
Endless arguments and fights between those two can get me insane at times...



Choose
The single clenched fist lifted and ready,
Or the open hand held out and waiting.

One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
This set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.

Undecisive still.

How to be HAPPY?

I bet that alot of people will be questioning ourselves on how to be happy?
How to make ourselves feel alive?
How to make ourselves feel content?

Life is indeed short.
Please don't waste it on making enemies, doing harm to others...
Instead, enjoy every moment with the people you love and doing the things you love...

If you ask me how to be happy, my answer would be easy...
Have dreams and live it...
Have goals and aim to achieve it...
That way you will live everyday life fulfilled and satisfied...

The goals or dreams can be as simple as wanting to buy yourself a good pair shoes even...
It doesn't need to be complicated dreams like wanting to be a billionaire or wanting to save the planet or so...



Focus on things that makes you happy, as different people has different priorities...
As for me, adventure and traveling makes me feel alive, so most of my goals are related to that...

Keep yourself a list of things you wanna do before you reach certain age and commit to it...
Like myself, part of my list will be:
- hugging an orang utan
- swimming with the dolphins
- conquer mount kinabalu
- explore the pyramids
- wrestle with a baby panda

It's fun trust me...

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

Spend life wisely...

Lives, like money, are spent.
What are you buying with yours?
Ever thought of that?

I've been thinking about life and death lately.
It's true that I have been living for 25 years now, but during those period have I done anything that I can be proud of?
Nothing came to my mind.
Zero...

We never know how much time we have left to actually breathe and touch the people we love.
We don't even know what is going to happen to us in the next few hours also.

Just to mention about death, definitely it will terrify anyone.
I have learned not to fear death, as it is out of our control.
What I can do is try to live life as much as I want to.
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

So I'm telling myself...
Take a break once in awhile...
Go travel to those places I wanted to....
Go and explore all the wonders of the world...
Go get myself wet, play and dance in the rain...
Reward and spoil myself with the things that I desire...
Spend and buy gifts to those that I love, make them smile...
Less time in front of computer, more time playing outdoors...
Treat everyone as if they're my brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers...
Run across a sea of fresh flowers and lay down at the middle of a jungle...

Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars.

We make a life by what we give

One of my sister's friend is very in need of a kidney transplant but no donor seems to come along to help her in these past 2 years...

I think I did offer her mine few months back but she refused since she said she doesn't wanna risk anyone who is close to her...

But right now, her wound for dialysis always becomes infected...
She has been into countless of operations to clean the wound up...
Imagine have to go through all of that since the age of 2, and she is only 18 now...

I wanted to give half of mine to her... I wished I could...
We shared the same blood group...
But I'm underweight...
And it is risky...

I had always wanted to do good deeds to people...
I believe that each people was born in a purpose to help others...
Giving money is easy, same goes of giving advice and wisdom...
But your own body part which also will affect your own life?
Not so many are very sincere of doing it...

Come to think of it, when I think twice, I do think I'm selfish...
I wanted to help her if I can, but I'm worried of what will happened to me...
I have to sacrifice my active life, I can't go do extreme sports that I love so much...
I can't eat all types of food like I used to...
I really have to take of my other kidney well since I only left with one should I agree to donate...
So there we see what kind of person I still am...

SELFISH

==========================



But she will always have my prayers though...
I am grateful to GOD for blessing me with a healthy and perfect body...
With this, I shall put them into good use, and never complain on how bad my own life is...

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing peeps.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

If I had my life to live over

If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.

by Nadine Stair

===============================

I love this poem by her, makes me understand that life is not something to be wasted upon. When you have something that you wanna do at that point of time, don't think much, just do it... Thinking too much is where our mistake is...

Remember, the purpose of life is a life with purpose.
