If Only As Simple As That

Some quotes from another blog:


When I was a child, it seemed that happiness was very simple; as an adult, simplicity is the essence of happiness.
                                                 
Spending money is as easy as shitting, while earning money is as hard as eating shit.
                                                 
Sometimes, the simplest advice that you give to others is the hardest thing for you to follow. 


Happy weekend all.

You Can Be Different

After their seminar on Monday, they are trying to define my own happiness. People who don't know me much, who only two years younger than me, in their best intentions trying to tell me what is supposed to mean by happiness. In their pictures, happiness is being with friends. Happiness is trying to act like someon else (them).

I believe that I don't always follow the crowd. At times, when the majority moving in the same direction, I tend to walk the less travelled, even though I know their choices are the best one. Something I still in the process of finding answer as why I act the way I act. Or why I behave the way I behave. As I'm taking up Psychology, hopefully will give me an answer.

The word that makes people feel threatened if they stop saying nowadays is the word "enjoy". Cliche and really like fingernails on a chalkboard. Like you really want to give them a slap in the face.

"You must 'enjoy' university life."

"You must 'enjoy'."

"You must 'enjoy' hanging out."

"You will 'enjoy' joining ABC club."

"In university, in whatever you do, you must 'enjoy'."

Statement implying you don't enjoy anything at all.

You don't have to give big ugly smiles to show that you enjoy, do you? You don't have to act cute, or be flamboyant or be CRAZY to show you are happy, do you? 'Enjoy' is to be in your element, giving you pleasurable feeling while doing whatever makes you feel happy and satisfying. What if you don't enjoy hanging out? Is that make you an unhappy person?

When you don't hang out, does that make you a loser?

I'm not someone who would give up easily in trying to be myself. Don't make me.

You're not even close anyway.

Steve and His Logo

So my 101st post dedicated to Steve Jobs. Thanks Steve.

Do you have any idea how simple it looks, yet you never thought about it? Two persons living in different time zone, different places, not knowing each other but came up with a similar logo? They said "in the world of graphic design, such similarities are common".

If you given a choice, would you want the brand logo slightly different with the silhouette of Mr. Jobs in it?

I'd want that. I'd prefer Jonathan's. 

Good Jobs yo.

I see it in your face

how frustrated you are, that you don't feel belong. Little dramas here and there that makes you feel awful, uneasy. Awkwardness has become your close friend.

I'd come a long way to witness those dramas. I learned to open my heart and mind to accept and embrace it. At times, it feels awful, blow a hole in my heart. It will only makes you a better person, even people don't accept you, that you no longer fit into their circle, you have the ability to create your own happiness, your own world with those who are still backing you up. You aren't and won't be alone. Just like the song You Are Not Alone. It's a matter of choice.

If only you will accept reality, if only they will accept you, if only their heart still has room for forgiveness, your world is not cold. Even you don't feel belong, or lost yourself along the way, you have me. If only you know.

In every circle, everyone is bound for conflicts. People come and go. You don't blame them, you welcome them when they come, you set them free when they leave. You must stay strong and hold your head high. Focus on what you have now and don't take them for granted. You'll be safe and sound.

You are not alone. Stop being afraid. I'll be standing by to hold your hand.

Fallen Legend

I'm a fan of Macbook. I'm not into iPhone, iPod or iPad. But then I'd never own a Macbook (it's complicated). I know pretty well how Apple has changed millions of lives and still is. Because he letf us a legacy.

He's become one of those History we proud and will always be mentioned. I still haven't got over his departure. I'm shocked! It's just disturbing! Shocking! OMG!!

Lets have a moment of silence.

Are We There Yet?

Nowadays, I somewhat seeing myself losing my own purpose on FB and my social life has reached its peak since elementary school that I no longer bother whom I'm adding now. Adding people you have never really talked to, people who are only your acquaintances, people whom you might only met once in your lifetime, in real also. Though I'm still finding my own reason to keep the page going.

It's something annoying really. I'm not really a FB fan. But nowadays, it no longer an option. They demand you to add them, they won't tell you anything when you ask, they will only suggest or expect you to get your own profile up and running so that you'll find all the updates and info, while stop bothering to throw them questions in the face. To most of these people, they see it's the most annoying thing of all to not have your own triple W. Like I can see on their faces, with eyes rolling back and much annoyance:

"That's life, honey. Like it. Love it. Do it. Live it. And deal with it." (Head moving side to side, with fingers snapping up and down) Or you leave it.

That's also something I just found out after I came to this grand school.

So before you ask any question, in the face, be sure to google it or "add" or "like" or "join this group" first to get all the info and updates you're seeking, before you hit the department anywhere in school. They just irritate to see your not-so-pretty face. The only first thing they'd ask is this: Have you checked out our FB yet? All the info are there. (Why you bother to come in anyway?)

Something you have to do before you leave home or dorm.
