Worry Less

angel on Oct-25-2010

My brother was complaining to me about having pimples on his back. It’s not just one or two pimples, he actually has a lot of zits covering his back! I told him to put on some body acne treatment or something, but he said he doesn’t want to and just hopes that they will go away by themselves. I actually envy my brother’s attitude. Me, normally, I would worry too much about little things like this, but he just gives a carefree attitude. According to him, those we can’t change, just add stress to our lives. He does complain, and vent out his frustrations from time to time, but after that, he’s good. If only we can be like him and try not to worry too much about stuff, it would be great, right? I should try to learn to do this more. It’s a conscious effort.

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

“I’ve been thinking,” he said, “I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me something more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.

Online Coupons

angel on Oct-21-2010

Being a technology lover, I like being up to date with all things technology. I love reading up on new technologies and gadgets. And I always check out online stores for cheap deals for electronics and whatnot. Just the other day, my friend told me about tiger direct coupons and I was psyched! I read about TigerDirect before and I really liked their deals.

TigerDirect is a place where you can buy electronics online for great deals. I have yet to try, but I hear their shipping is  very fast and they have excellent customer service. And best of all, customers can pay in cash with eBillme! Meaning, you don’t have to use credit card, you can simply pay for your purchase via your local bank or a walk-in center. Isn’t that nice? I browsed their site for good electronic deals, I’m planning to buy my brother an iPod on his upcoming birthday, so these coupons really came at a timely manner. Check their site out and see for yourself!

Cherish Your Beauty

I have this friend who is so pretty and so flawless that every time we go out, guys just naturally stare at her and are drawn to her. Do you have this kind of friend? If you have, do you ever feel like you’re always overshadowed by her beauty and feel like you can never meet guys if you’re with her? Or do you go to bed sometimes, look in the mirror, lather on some pimple removal cream or blemish concealer, and wonder why you have to do this ritual every night and your friend doesn’t? I guess that’s a pretty normal thing to feel, but as for me, I’ve never felt that way. I was never envious of my friend, in fact, I love her to death. And I’m proud to have her as a friend.

I’ve always believed that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Meaning, no matter how pretty you are, you can’t always please everyone. People have different preferences when it comes to beauty. Some like it cute, some like it hot. Some like fair complexion, some like it with a little tan. Some like the girly girly image, some like it more refined and sophisticated, even boyish. No matter what, we should be thankful for our own beauty, because it’s ours. No use getting jealous of other people, let’s learn to love and cherish ourselves, our flaws and all.

A Silent Love

From the very beginning, the girl’s family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

Due to family’s pressure, the couple quarrel very often. Though the girl love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: “How deep is your love for me?”

As the guy is not good with his words, this often cause the girl to be very upset. With that & the family’s pressure, the girl often vent her anger on him. As for him, he only endure it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies in overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: “I’m not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I’ll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?”

The girl agreed, & with the guy’s determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he leave, they got engaged.

The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it’s hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice……

The doctors says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents’ comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down.

During the stay in hospital, besides silence cry….. it’s still just silence cry that companied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply, and countless of phone calls, all the girl could do, besides crying, is still crying….

The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy.

With a new environment, the girl learn sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that he’s back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn’t anymore news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy’s wedding. The girl was shattered. When she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead.

When she was about to ask her friend what’s going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language telling her “I’ve spent a year’s time to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I’ve not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You. With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.

Get Up And Move!

Just got back from a morning run, and boy I feel great! It’s been so long since I jogged, or did a cardio activity for that matter. Nothing beats the rush felt after working the heart. I feel alive and I feel young! I think exercise is still the best fat burning supplement there is. I mean, you can go on diets or drink diet shakes or fat burning stuff, but ultimately, exercise is still the best way to keep our weight under control. And it’s good for the heart too! So even if it’s just 3 times a week, get out and do some cardio exercise. Walk, jog, swim, go biking… anything that you could do to work up a sweat. Engage in sports like tennis, basketball, badminton, etc. You are only young once so make the most of it while your body can still take it. For those who are not so young, you can still determine your body’s capacity and adjust your activity accordingly. Don’t fall in a rut health wise, get up and move!
