the spirit is in the air

I feel it in my fingers

I feel it in my toes

Christmas is all around me

And so the feeling grows

--Billy Mack, Christmas is All Around (Love Actually Soundtrack)

hang loose

Been a little too uptight recently.

I need to unwind and loosen up myself, to chill and to take it easy...

I know I do.

And I wish I know how.

p.s. Gosh, I'm such a whiner!

lost count

How many days have passed by,
insignificant and meaningless
How many dreams were put off
by those invisible obstacles
How many plans were postponed,
time and time again
How many friends have lost contact
and drifted apart
How many feelings were burried deep down,
untold
Just how much more time can I afford
to waste at nothingness

distance apart

How far apart is considered far?
And how close together is considered close?

Not a Saint

I aint no Saint!

so please don't try my patience

for it has a limit and it's coming close to it

replacement

an identical replacement for my stolen heels

I lost a pair of heels some time ago. Later, I bought another new, identical pair to replace the lost/stolen pair. If only it's that easy to replace anything we lost....

Well, on second thought, maybe not, otherwise we would have taken everything for granted and do not know how to appreciate what we have/had. What makes something so special and important to us is knowing that something can never be replaced...

fragile

Please handle me with care when I'm fragile
Do not apply pressure 'cos that might crack me up
Give me some time, and I promise I'll be tough again

complicated

if only i could do what i really like

if only i could quit what i don't like
if only options were simple and obvious

if only..

the story of five balls

"Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls.
The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity.

And you’re keeping all of them in the air.

But one day, you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball.

If you drop it, it will bounce back.

The other four balls - family, health, friends, and integrity - are made of glass.

If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life."

---James Patterson, Suzanne's Diray for Nicholas

Question of the day:
How many balls are you able to juggle at the moment?

prayer

I say a little prayer for you

my family and friends

I wish you health and happiness

and when life's harsh

please remember

I'll always be there to share

impulsive urge

Sometimes I would have this funny sudden urge to do something. Something I may not be good at. Many a times, I procastinate and let the urge subside. My latest impulsive urge was to pick up water colouring. The last time I did it was in high school, and it's for the compulsory art class assignment purpose.

So I was having this sudden urge when I was shopping at Popular bookstore with my brother. With a bit of encouragement from my bro, I bought the kits. A pretty and pricey sketch book, a set of water colour paint, some brushes, pencils, etc. I was ecstatic. It was 2 week s ago. To date, I haven't completed a single picture, just some practice on random objects, a winged-apple, a floating staircase, a window, and a balcony...and they weren't as nice as I thought they would turn out... :(

me and my silly impulse.....
