It’s the quality and character that counts.

A stranger asked me: “why do you love S2000s?  With cars now days, they are more faster, more horsepowers, basically everything is more superior overall.”  I told them: “Any car can be fast, depends on how much money you invest into it.  But that is not the key, it’s the quality & character of the car that counts.  The adrenaline rush that makes your heart pounds through your veins while hitting it at redline of 9K with the top down going sideways.”  

..and it made me think, just like people, anybody can be rich as long as you have money holding in your hands, but that’s not the key.  It’s the quality and character that make the person who he is.. that’s something money can’t buy.

You tried to run away from this place but what you didn’t know is that the place where you want to get away is not physically, it’s really inside of you. No matter where you go, if you’re not happy within, you will never be happiness at all.

If someone wants to help you, they will help you no matter what. Despite their schedule are all booked or the odds are against them, they will find a way to help. I dislike people who “act” like they want to help while speaking in doubts and negative attitude to get themselves out of the situation.

Just because you’ve talked to someone, it doesn’t mean you know them. Just because you’ve seen someone’s pictures, it doesn’t mean you know their story. To fully understand someone, you must walk through the same direction while going through the same experiences. If not, then you haven’t face the hardships, emotions, and pains that the person had gone through to reach where they are now. It’s easy to point fingers, judge, and assume when you know nothing.

People told me that money can buy you everything in this world, including happiness.

…But I would tell them, in this world where we live in, we all can see but we are blind. We all can hear but we don’t listen. We all can talk, but not communicate. We all can think but fail to understand. What you see is not real and what is real, you cannot see. 

Foolish people want everything in order to find/substitute for happiness. The happiest people don’t need anything, because it could be found no where… except within.

Fame.

I’m the type of person who express my thoughts & soul through music, photography, videos, writings, poetry, dancing, and so on.  

I don’t want to work just so I will be famous because once I get famous.. I will stop, I would reach my destination then lose ideas and ambitions.  But instead, being famous by people recognize my hard work & supporting me will create an energy that electrify my passion even more.  

High School Sweetheart.

I’m glad that I had a chance to talk to you before I leave today, I’m not sure if we will ever meet again but let’s just leave it up to fate to decide.  We had a fun time tonight, laughing at our stupidness, happy, and sad moments where we once found love at.  I still can’t believe how fast life passed by.  I regret that we didn’t walk toward the same path, but at least you found your happiness elsewhere and that gave me joy.  Loving someone, doesn’t mean they always have to be with you.  Even if they are with someone else, and they’re happy.  You should be happy for them, because you love them and want the best for them.  I admit that I hated you for the longest time due to our bad term breakup.  5 years went by within a blink of an eye, I could’ve saved all those hate and negative energy by confessing sooner.  Overall, it’s better late than not at all.  I’m glad we are back on good terms.  Once again, I’m happy for you.  I wish you many luck and happiness in life.  If you ever need me, I won’t hesitate to help. Ever.  :)

Rushing into Marriage

I don’t understand how some people could rush into marriage with someone else new within a short period of time, after breaking up from their old long-term relationship? It’s mind blown to me.. Wouldn’t the feelings still be there? Do they think by marrying someone else new, they will forget the old person? In the beginning, every relationship goes into the honeymoon-phase, after we become comfortable with each others (which takes a while). That’s when the real relationship starts, that’s when it will reveal between the real gentlemen and the fake ones, it will show the real women behind the makeups, jewelries, and nice bodies. It will show true feelings such as jealousy, clingy, and things we were afraid to express in the beginning. I think you need more time to fully recover and to understand the new person before taking the big step into marriage.

So I was at my local grocery store, as I was buying my usual foods. I realized that I needed a cart but I didn’t want to walk all the way towards the entrance to grab one. A nearby worker with stacks of 10 baskets was walking towards the entrance, so I guess “hmm… I’ll just grab one.” I asked him.. “excuse me sir, do you think I could get a basket?” That person ignored me at first, then I yelled out louder “EXCUSE ME SIRRR, MAY I GRAB A BASKET FROM YOU? So the person turned around and looked at me with an annoyed face. While making an “arghh” sound as they gave me the basket.. I was like wow, he must had a tough day or something…? Whatever, I don’t care…

After done shopping, when I was about to pay for my groceries. The same person who was bagging, asked me “Do you want paper or plastic?” in a very high pitch/girly voice. I was in shocked, it was a womannn!! :O

Which Path Will You Take?

It takes a strong person to be positive: to let go of anything that’s negative in the past, to use their present time efficiently & wisely, to work hard for the future, constantly pushing to succeed past their limits, finding strength everyday for self-motivation, inspiring & helping others to do the same. Creating goals and accomplishing achievements. Keeping a steady pace but with a solid attitude in life. They don’t talk much.. they let their actions speak louder.

It takes no effort at all to be a hater: one who quickly speak without thinking like a child, regardless of anyone else feelings beside their own, just because things doesn’t go the way they wanted to be. They are filled with hate, envious, jealousy, negativity. They cover up the hate to express their own opinions.. by saying: “I’m just speaking the truth.” They were influenced with bad events in their own lives, so they use that anger to fuel outrage on others, in hope that they can make people understand their exact negative feelings. But at the end of the day.. they are just empty, lonely, lost souls who craves for attentions. Remember talking is cheap.. Well done is better than well said.

I usually change my environment if I find myself unhappy with it, because even if you try to change your reaction to it, it will still make you unhappy until you subtract it from the equation. Last thing I want to do is pretend I want something when I don’t. Stay true and honest to others, but don’t forget to stay true to yourself.

I refuse to be normal

I believe that I was born to stand out from the crowd.  I may be lost at the moment because I am currently finding which path best define my future, but still it’s better than following everybody else footsteps to a normal life. I would rather take a chance of trying but fail than never to fail because I never gave my dream a chance.

In order to find yourself, you must first be broken into pieces.

Guys always say great things about their girlfriends while dating. The truth comes out when you’re an ex. He’s a keeper if he still mention how wonderful you are, even after the relationship.
