Sometimes, we come to a point in our lives when we ask ourselves, “Where do we go from here?” or maybe something like, “What do I really want to do with my life?” I just watched the movie “The Bucket List” a while ago for the second time, and again, I was faced with similar questions. Let me add this one though, “Are you really making the most out of your life or are you contented with merely existing?” I tried to rack my brains and really determine what it is that I want in life. I can only come up with one thing bright and clear. I want to travel. I want to get out and explore the world out there.

Sounds normal, right? But for me, it’s kind of leaning more towards wishful thinking. We all know that traveling entails huge amounts of money. And with the income I have, it’s just not enough. But as always, positive thinking is best right? It’s the secret to life. If you think something is true, it’s going to manifest in your life. Well, it doesn’t hurt to try.

Try listing down the things you want to do. You can create your own Bucket List and try to live your life differently. Do something random or crazy once in a while. Life should be fun, not boring. Try something new everyday, or every week! We all need to stop for a few moments and re-evaluate our lives. After all, we never know when we’re going to kick the bucket, right? So live it up!

I’m really excited to watch the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight! I’ve always been a fan of movies, and as a movie buff, huge movie award giving events like the Golden Globes are really something to look forward to. Imagine, there will be over 50 presenters including, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Lautner, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hanks and a lot more! The biggest stars in Hollywood will be in attendance! I, for one, will surely be glued to my computer screen. Don’t miss this exciting night! Catch the live telecast!

I miss reading!!! I swear, I’ve become so busy with my life right now that I have ZERO time for reading books. And that’s a bummer, because I really enjoy reading. Every time I read, I  get lost in an imaginary world, and I miss that feeling. I wanted to read Time Traveler’s Wife because I hear that’s good. The last novels I’ve read are the Twilight Saga and that’s months ago! I really don’t have time to open a book these days. Oh well, maybe soon… I will get to do that. Reading is one of my passions so it’s silly to quit just like that.

Make Up My Heart by Starlight Express - I love this song! I heard it in a radio once, and I liked it instantly. The melody is great, it has that 80’s feel to it. For some reason, I feel mellow and nostalgic listening to it. Check it out…

Hey guys!!! I’m really sorry for the deleted images in my posts and the category mess up. I transferred to a new server and for some reason the images just disappeared! Please bear with me…

It’s been so long since I posted a personal entry here. Been busy with other things. Anyway, I’m feeling a little sentimental right now… I’m currently listening to Phyllis Hyman’s Old Friend, and it’s a very sad song that I feel quite melancholic listening to it.

Anyway, I’m sorry if I’m not able to write here that much. I hope you can browse through the articles and write-ups from previous months, I’m sure you haven’t read them all… so for the meantime, head on over to the archives and look up some past posts. I’ll be writing some entries here once I feel the need to get things out. Haha. Take care everyone!

I’ve known this song ever since, and I’ve always liked it. But when I heard it again sung in a bar last week, I grew even fonder of it. There’s something oddly different when you hear a beautiful song played in a public place, as opposed to just listening to it in your iPod or mp3 player. The minute I heard the song sung by the female member of the acoustic band on the bar that night, I’ve been playing the song repeatedly in my iPod for about a week now. It’s so beautiful and nostalgic… love it!

A million times or more I thought about you
The years, the tears, the laughter, things we used to do
Are memories that warm me like a sunny day
You touched my life in such a special way

I miss the way you’d run your fingers through my hair
Those cozy nights we cuddled in your easy chair
Oh no, I won’t let foolish pride turn you away
I’ll take you back whatever price I pay

Old friend
It’s so nice to feel you hold me again
No, it doesn’t matter where you have been
My heart welcomes you back home again

Remember those romantic walks we used to take
You held my hand in such a way my knees would shake
You can’t imagine just how much I’ve needed you
I’ve never loved someone as I love you

Old friend
This is where our happy ending begins
Yes, I’m sure this time that we’re gonna win
Welcome back into my life again

Yes, I’ve tried to live my life without you
Knowing I had lost my closest friend
And though I’m feeling low from time to time
Knowing I will never find the kind of love
I had when you were mine

Welcome back into my life again

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching… and for happy couples, it certainly is a day to look forward to. But what if you’re single, brokenhearted, or alone during Valentine’s day? Are you looking forward to celebrate the day as well?

Take a look around. You see all these couples together… holding hands, having fun, and looking so in love… It’s perfectly normal to feel sad, because let’s face it… Valentine’s day does really feel like this HUGE NEON LOVE sign that seems to sneer at you, taunting you. And you can’t help but wish… if only you had that special someone that you could kiss and cuddle with… then you would have a reason to celebrate the occasion.

Aahhh.. love is in the air. But if you’re reading this, and you’re single… don’t lose heart, light that face up, and don’t feel too sorry for yourself. Valentine’s Day is a day of love and romance, but that doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve to make the day fun and memorable for you. I think singles have as much right to celebrate Valentine’s as do couples, right?

There are a lot of things you can do to get through the day. Treat yourself to something good. You don’t need a lover to make you happy, and you know it. It’s probably easier said than done, but hey… you can do it! Here are just a few tips to get you started: Go to a spa, pamper yourself to a day of rest and relaxation. Gather your single friends and go out for drinks, or do something fun, like dancing. Work out in the gym. Go malling or shopping. If you don’t want to be alone during the night, invite friends over and you can have your very own little party. The point is to have a good time, and not feel sorry for yourself just because you happen to be unattached at the moment. Do that, and February 14 shouldn’t be such a dreadful day.

Honestly, Valentine’s Day is really no different from any other day, it’s a holiday created by Hallmark for crying out loud! So don’t beat yourself up if you happen to be dateless. Think positive and be happy! You owe it to yourself.
