Can I be truly happy again ever? i wonder. There I s always something intrigued and recalled my deepest sorrow.

Wake up, Lean

After a tired working day, I was in gloomy mood. I feel lost in future path. What kinds of job I want to do? What industry to work with? I was confusing. Sometimes I wished I am not that busy. I like to live in relax and cozy. But sometimes, the ambition me suddenly pop out. I wish I know what I want. I know myself. Deep down inside me, there are more to discover. This is just not where I want to be yet. Sooner after work, I met with a friend which we have been closed in college. We talked for hours. I felt relaxed after catch up with him. I told him I am afraid I might lost the original me in this routine daily life and working society. I told him I am still that ambitious as last time I was in the college. It just a temporary low time. I want to explore the world. I want to enjoy the feeling of backpacking again. When I was driving home, I think a lots. Suddenly, I feel like my big brother was talking with me. He told me: " Lean, go ahead, think positive and always have faith,  I know you can do it. I know you are strong. You got nothing to lose. Just take good care of mom and yourself." I love you and I miss you. It have been 8 months since we lose you. I always see you in my dreams and miss you so much until my heart is pain, until I don't have any faith towards the world and life. I feel I am getting better. Today when I drive home from work, I feel like I know how to find the positive and strong lean back. I know I have to. I believe so. Our hearts divide into parts. Deep down inside, there is a place always for you, a place always feel regret we dint growing old together, always thinking and missing you, always pain for you, always love you, you will always be there. Another part of is the faith, motivation, determination and willpower to continue my journeys, to live, to do what you always to do, support and provide better lives for our love ones, love them and protect them. Everyone in the world got their own bother, concern, trouble and worry. Even those who born in affluent family, also got their own things to bother. They are not like what we think. I have to stop sympathize myself and hate the world. I have to start living again! My big brother's spirit will always with me. I CAN DO IT! I can be the one my love ones proud of. Cheer, Lean!

I Love Good People!

Today after I finished my lunch, when I got back to my car, it couldn't be started. I freaked out.Because I was out of town and I did not know any mechanic here. Then,good thing happen! There was one mechanic happen to pass by. He stopped and offered to help. He helped me to jump start my car. I drove it to the service center that I always go. I am so appreciate that. May god bless him. Thank you.

A Plant In My Garden

Few months ago, I saw one of the plants in our garden was almost withered. Then I started to pay attention on it. Deeply inside my heart, I wished it can be healthy again because it has some special meaning to me. My late father bought it for me when I was eight. Ergo, I watering it everyday and took good care of it. Today, I noticed it grows luxurious! Then I realized it is the same theory in our life. Time and efforts will heal us. We will get through it as long as we have the persistence and faith.

A call to remind

Yesterday night I was reminded how realistic people can be. One moment they are your friends, the next seconds they are not. A friend telling me he is doing insurance business now. He have met so many different types of people. Some friends supporting him although they already bought the plan with others. Some said they are cool to hang out and hear him sharing the thing but they back off after that.They ignoring his calls, pretending their schedules are full. I just don't understand why these kinds of "friends" don't want to be honest to him if they don't feel comfortable to meet him. Why avoiding him like he is a virus. He just tried to do his job diligently. He won't force you to buy if you don't want to. It is up to you. So please, care about people feelings, he is our friend!

Weirdo

There are many types of people in the world. But I have never met one like this. He pushing you away while u want him so badly and comes to you when you are so over him. I wish he can understand when people said they don't won't to talk and they mean it especially when someone is going through a extremely hard time in their life. Have mercy and leave them alone. You do not have the right to mess with people life.

Inspiration Quotes from Desperate Housewives

After I watched the finale of Desperate Housewives, a lots of thoughts crossed my mind. The drama is inspiring. The final episode makes me cry. I am so impressed by what Gaby said.

“Let me tell you something about life. Anything that’s worth doing is hard.”

The advice given to Bree. “ Looking at what has been taken from us is a bad way to go through life. Looking for what we can give to others is far better.”

In the end of the final episode, Mary Alice background narration "In life we all make plans, but sometimes they don't turn out the way we expected. By trying to help out, we may damage a relationship. By attempting to reach out, we may push someone further away. By digging into the past, we may enrich our present."

And then when Susan said this "Living away from you guys has been hard on me. Because sometimes when friends live apart, they sometimes grow apart, too. But, no matter how busy or how crazy our lives are, something always seems to happen to bring us back together. And that started tonight with this dinner. May we have many, many more" It touched my heart. I felt the same way before. Most of my dear friends live far away, we will only see each other once in a long time.

I am gonna miss this drama so much.

Can I make and stick to a decision?

I always dare to make differences in my life. I always listen to my gut and it always turn out right. The question is I always worry about WHAT IF. What if I made a wrong decision?
What is my gut telling me?
Is there anything I am ignoring? I have considered medium and long-term factors and implications.
I have no idea what I am afraid of. What are my fears?
I feel insecure and I doubt my decision. But today, I come to a decision. Since a decision is made, there is no way back and I cannot think of WHAT IF anymore. I will committed enough to my decision and trust my own judgement.

Dare to be

Don't waste your life trying to impress other people. We only live once, live in the way we want!

Inspirational Quotes of Eat, Pray, Love

"People think a soul mate is our perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life"

It won't last forever. Nothing does.

“This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.”

“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.”

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”

“In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Inspirational Quote of Maid In Manhattan

To serve people takes dignity and intelligence. But remember, they are only people with money. And although we serve them, we are not their servants. What we do, Miss Ventura, does not define who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after falling.

I will win. Why? Because I have faith, courage and enthusiasm

Do not lose faith! Do not afraid to fall down. Do not afraid to fail, just like skip boogie boarding. We learn how to fall down and how to get back up! If you could learn how to get fall down in a great humble way, you can get back up and do it again.

Stress up on the first day of a new job

Funny. It was my second job already. Still I nervous until can't get good sleep the night before the day. Tired like hell on my first day of work. By watching how others work, I know that I have to devote more time and efforts into my new job. Always stay cheerful, positive, high motivation and be happy :) I always remind myself so. 

My memory is too fluid and spontaneous, I need something solid to hold my thoughts. The thought of backpacking is getting stronger and stronger. There are many places I wish to go. The are so many to experience. This is my dream. I will make sure it comes true in routine working life.

2 Days to Go

The day is nearer. The day I start my new job. It is second job since I graduated. The paranoid me, starting to worry whether I can do a good job. 

Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!”

Eat, Pray, Love

The movie EAT, PRAY, LOVE inspired me. Reminding me all the dreams I have before I start my working life in which I already forgot in my busy, boring and tired working life.

An Ease Noon

I feel so content and happy by just having a cup of coffee with some snacks at home. See, life is simple though not easy.
