secrecy.


Secrets destroys the soul. It's like a weapon of mass destruction waiting to unleash itself in you life. Why do we have them?...we don't choose to...
There is actually no such thing as a "secret" because nothing is hidden under the sun and whatever goes up must come down. In other words, nothing ever stays a secret unless you keep it to yourself, which can be very hard sometimes because the thought of it eats us up slowly and slowly until we can't handle it anymore and the only choice we're left with is to share it with someone. In some sense I guess we feel relieved to release such a load from our chest. Do you honestly feel relieved? isn't there some kind of thought at the back of your mind that makes you question the decision you just made? I bet there is, because you can't help but worry if it had been a good idea to tell this person your secret, and wonders if they're going to keep. If you couldn't handle it, what makes you think they could? after all it isn't their secret.

He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore. - Sigmund Freud.

Help, Help, Help!




So this is my car....thanks dad; but we all know I like small cars. The deal is for me to allow my dad to sell this one and buy me a small car [anything Honda]...I absolutely love Honda, but I also love this Jeep. It's one of a kind...I promise you will never find this make in the market. It is a 1995 model....strongest car I've ever seen in my life! I always feel sorry for the car that has to hit it LOL
Anyway, I don't want this car to be sold, but I also want a smaller car. What to do? What to do?


Another issue of mine has to do with my ring. I seem to have lost it somewhere, so please if you find it, please kindly return it to me...pretty please ;)
It would mean the world to me. This ring is really important to me.

I know th epicture quality is kind of crappy, but it's the only one I have. If you find any ring that doesn't belong to you, you can ask me...LOL
Thank you!

The happiest people are not found here


Have you ever imagined what your life would be like if you didn't have all the luxuries and privileges you own right now? Just imagine your life as that of someone else who is less fortunate than you. How does that make you feel? Grateful, I hope.
A few days ago I was talking to a classmate of mine about the blackout that happened during the previous class section, which led all the classes on campus to being canceled. Some of the students weren't too happy about because they felt their money is being wasted and neither were some teachers..well at least I know my teacher wasn't since he served us a pop quiz the following class section. I think he was angry because everyone was so focused on what was happening outside during the blackout rather than paying attention to him trying to teach in the dark! Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that Americans cannot function without electricity [you can beg to differ] and I find this to be really sad. Just imagine life without electricity...what does it look like to you?...It looks normal to me because I lived in a place where there was no electrical power weeks upon weeks and people still went on with their normal lives. The rejoice when the lights come back on and when it goes back out, they're still as grateful as before.
Over here we complain so much about little things that doesn't matter: we complain about the government, schools, people getting our orders wrong and so much more. If only we could stop complaining for a moment and see how good we have it.
With all that said, I don't believe the happiest people are found here [in America] because true happiness is smiling even when it's hard to do so, laughing when you feel like crying, rejoicing in times of sadness and pain. The most happiest people are the most grateful, content, and thankful people, which are usually the poor or less fortunate.
So next time you complain about your coffee being too cold, getting your nails done...and whatever petty little things we all complain about, just remember there are people out who are less fortunate than you are.


p.s: this isn't in any way or form intended to bash the Americans...I'm just trying to speak from experience and I live here so I would know what I'm talking about.
