It's Christmas Eve. Christmas always gives me the warm feeling. It makes me think about carol singing, christmas songs, and the Jesus's Born in Bethlehem short play that I've watched before. I remember the time when I used to go to the church on christmas eve with my aunty. Having to see everybody nicely dressed up, reached the church on time, prepare for the prayers and celebrations, was indeed a wonderful thing to do on this special day. When the carol started singing the familiar christmas songs, then everybody sang along, the atmosphere was filled with joy. Then everybody shaked each other's hands, wishing "Merry Christmas" with their warmest smiles, that was what made me felt delighted the most.
Whether your christmas is a white one, silent and warm one, or celebrations followed by count down, may it full of joy and wishes.
Wishing everyone a wonderful christmas...

Weather
The weather in Bangkok has got cooler. I can say that everybody is waiting for this time. Every year, around this time in dec, the weather is the best in the year. It was so hot recently, and everyone was wondering why the desired weather isn't here yet. I was thinking that the world weather has changed and then on that morning I felt the familiar cool breeze. Immediately, you will greet the day with a smile. Everyone welcomes this weather after having to sweat a lot under the sun, even the taxi driver was so happy that he kept on saying it is colder now. Hope that it will last until Christmas, then it will be a cool breezy christmas..
Bangkok's yearly best weather has come...

Time
Mtv has been showing an advertisement of David Tao recently, which he expressed what he thinks about time. He said, some people think time as very abstract, whereas he thinks that time has the faces of our youth, and people don't realise what is time until they see the limit of their lifetime.
I never realise time until the time when I started working, travelling around, looking at the reality. Before this, time to me is mostly about waiting and repeating. But it's never like this. The truth is time is never repeating, whereby a second today will never come by, never. If given the chance to turn back time, which part of lifetime would you wish to go back to? If not mistaken, it should be the time when you start to understand, what moment means. The time when you start to feel things, start to realise the never returning of the many things in life.
Sometimes, you think about many things to do in your life. And as time passes by, you realise, more and more IF appears in your mind. If I have had the time, I would have...similar kind of sentences running around in your thoughts. Most of the time, you would say, I don't have enough time that's why I can't do this and that, blaming on the time, thinking that it will stop for you...so that you can stop your grumbling and blaming?
Each passing minute, marks the never returns. Each passing seconds, you can see it as counting down, or accumulating to the minutes of time. Whatever perspective you have on time, always make sure that, you appreciate it, whether is it spending with your family, your friends, your loved ones and doing every little thing. History might repeat itself, but never time. I will keep that in mind always.

Venus
Girls are from Venus, they say. A very far away land that is hard to reach that makes them different and hard to understand. You must have heard so much about guys asking, why can't they be more straight forward? Like us, do what we want to do and say what we want to say. But girls will think that, when everything is expressed straight to the point, some will lost their meanings some way, somehow. So, some say girls are complicated formations, so complicated that they don't bother to understand. While surprisingly some think that knowing them adds up to their knowledge. So, when girls gather up and have some girls talk, thiswill be one of the topic that they will discuss. Why guys don't understand girls?
Sometimes, girls tell you things opposite to what they think. In an argument usually, they would say things opposite to their mind, and yet, they hope that you can see that's not what they actually mean. Hoping that you can figure out yourself. If you can't, then they would get mad which make you wonder why. So, when you are not sure what they really mean, maybe you can find the answer in the tone or the signs they show. With that, maybe you would be able to get the real answer.
Girls are sensitive. Well, I would say most girls are. They can sense small little things, whether you have not been paying attention to what they said or don't mean what you said. Sometimes it affects them so much, what you said. If you were to give them comments, just make sure that correct words are used. Just make sure that you don't hurt their feelings. If you care about them, they will feel it and they will appreciate that, they really do.
Green-eyed monters. Yes, they are, sometimes, especially when you have made such a strong stand in their territory. Of course girls get jealous, sometimes those which you can't understand at any points why they are. One of the reasons, by the time you're watching their territory, they are guarding yours too, thus a little wind blows sometimes can be treated as a, small hurricane.
You may say that girls are like maze, that you keep on looking for the correct path but got it wrong sometimes. When they change mood, or get emotional, don't scratch your head wondering why, as they are full of surprises. Just a change of perspective and a little understanding, will makes things easier. After knowing about the small little information, Venus is not unreachable, right?

La Vie
Short, life is short. That's what many people say. Each day passes by so fast, that you don't even get to realise that it's already one year gone. During high school, spending moments with friends, at one time, hoping that these days will never end while hoping that will get out of school, and start the university life. And then till the end of the university life, have some thoughts over the years-have-been-gone stuffs, it's time for the next stage. What have we got?
When life gets busy, then you tend to forget about realising how fast pace the time goes. And then you stop for a while, then think about, what I have been doing all these while? Did I live my life full? Some people said that, life is never short. If we're going to live till 70, 80 years old, then from where we stand, there are many more years to go, it's actually, not short. Some people, reminding themselves everyday, that they will not waste every minute, as they said, we will never know what if tomorrow never comes? Making sure that they will make their life worth-living. I believe that, most of us will hope that, till the end of our life, we would love to look back, and see a paper full of colours, instead of a white blank paper. It maybe nostalgic, bittersweet, but that's the proof of trails that you have left in this world. Life not to be forgotten, by your children, friends, at least, not by ourselves. Imagining, telling the story of your life, which takes endless days and nights to finish.
Everyone wants to do something with their life. All of us, we live only once in our life. There must be something, which you have been wanting to do. If it is a full long list, congratulations. Make them happen. That's how you make life beautiful. La vie, it may sound so abstract, may sound so wide, but only you yourself get the feel out of your life. Only you yourself, know how you want your life to be. We maybe lost sometimes that we ask, am I living my life as what I want it to be? Identify the essence of your life. Is it your work that excites you? Running your fingers over the piano keyboard that obsess you? Or travelling around the world that fills you up? Don't forget the people around you, which have rooms in your life, as they too, make up your wonderful life. These elements which you can't tear them away, actually complete your life. We're like the artists, painting a canvas of our life. Always feel free to keep on painting, let it goes beyond imagination, who knows what you can paint out on the canvas? Let's hope that everyone will be satisfied with the canvas that we paint, as nobody is going to evaluate our fine piece of art, as nobody understands more than we do, on how each strokes complete the art.
Live life to the fullest.

Moments
Along the path we walk, there are so many moments, that we have been through. Moment lingers and gone, we are the human who are vulnerable to request for those moments to stay forever, but enchanted with those special magical moments, which are sprinkled as stardust into our memories. If it is the "moments" of your life, it will stay as an unremovable mark, which never fade away. Special moments are like unedited short videos, a sudden thought may remind you of it, then you start to rewind your memories, again and again, reminiscing the happiness, having a taste of your moments. Some of them maybe vaguely projected, but all you know is, that's what you have been through, at that time, you were indeed having the time of your life, enjoying each and every bit of it.
Moments don't stay, don't remain where they are. Unlike the wall that we lean on, the ground that we stand on. They are like the clouds in the sky, ever-changing shape, at this moment, it resembles the bird, and the next minute, you can never find the same bird shape clouds again. Human likes things they can hold, touch and see. Cameras came in to turn abstract moments into physical piece of paper. A piece of paper which worth so much, that it brings the smile to everyone's face. It is wonderful that in that piece of paper, it's moment that they have captured.
Earth never stop turning that makes beautiful moments so precious. It's the feeling of helplessness when you realise that's the moment of your life that is slipping away, that you try to feel each and every bit of it, making sure that you really have appreciated it till the time when it is gone. Sudden silly thoughts of wishing time will stop, thinking of how nice it will be to be able to stay like this forever...
Flipping through the albums of memories, proud moments, exciting moments, adventurous moments, name it..I guess, you must have had it all. Moments are great, when they are shared. They reminded you of the laughter of your loved ones, how they enjoyed it having your accompany and the magical bonding that is created among you when each of you talk about it. Moments may make you long for more, or they may teach you how to appreciate. Whatever it does, it surely touches your heart and soul that makes you keep it. It is the appreciation that is meaningful; it is having the time of your life that matters. Breathe each moments so that you will remember it for the rest of your life, embrace it so that you will show not only the pictures, but the excitement and wonders of that lie beneath. Let's cherish the moments...

Moon
In which ever way you look at the moon, it is always beautiful. The way it shines, the way it stands out from the dark background, magnificient, I would say. Moon touches the soul. You may get stoned, looking at the details; or get so obsessed by its beauty that you stare. It is amazing how it carries so many people away that people wrote poems expressing their feelings, that somebody wrote the song "Fly me to the moon" to express his love. And even, became the first man to fly to the moon. It became the untouchable or the unreachable that remained so mysterious in our heart, with so many spaces of imagination, beliefs and thoughts.
Full moon is astounding. Let it be hanging over the dark sky above the quiet sea, let it be hanging over the dark sky above the paddy fields, where the horizon defines it's existence. If it happens to be you, who's in one of the pictures, take your time, gaze upon the sky, feel the moonlight brushes your skin, then you'll know that it not only shines, it also whispers. Listen, when your heart starts to play the music. Listen, when it asks you to free your mind and let your feelings flow. Make sure that you will remember the wonders that it had had on you.
How I hate to relate the moon phases to the come and go of people in our lives and how I hate to relate it to the imperfections in this world, even though we have to accept that, that's life. I would choose to express its beauty, imagine all the goods, commented that it's one of the perfect glow in the dark paintings in this universe. It carried me away, when looking at it, beautifully posed in the picture marked "taken at the night of Valentine's Day". I'm sure it must have casted a spell that the picture is taken. A three dimension moon in the picture. Remarkably amazed, I am.

Routine
Wondering how many people around us, actually wakes up everyday finding himself feeling so energetic, to face the daily challenges of his everyday life, his routine. I believe that routine will be the practical word to be used, describing everyone's 5 days a week, and the remaining 2 days of the week. Routine doesn't mean boring, and doesn't even mean meaningless. Some people's routine is full of excitement, just that, it is bound to the working hours, lunch hours. Day and day, is like a new exploration, hearts pounding at different pace just to keep up with the hours of exploration. I've always thought, how happy, how great would it be, to wake up everyday to enjoy the the feel of excitement, the feel of satisfaction and the pushing energy of wanting to carry out the routine.
Routine will still be routine, it is still bounded by time, deadlines, factors which build up the walls. The most important thing is, the spaces between those walls, the steps that you can move around. Whether you enjoy the jumping or the running around. Are you happy? Or it is just, doing what everybody's doing, doing what you should do? No feeling at all towards what you're doing? Maybe, try to ask around, how do they find themselves, their lives after doing the same routine for 1 year or 2 year maybe. How many will answer, Great! Fantastic! ? That's why they said that, doing what you like, doing what you enjoy, while able to earn from the interest, is the greatest thing.
For many people, the routine, is just earning a living, facing some challenges, brushing up the skills, moving forward towards another routine. People said, good or bad your working life is, actually determines your life. Life's like that, they said. Keep on finding the routine that you want, if you can't find the best, then people opt for the second best while waiting for the best chance to appear. Somebody said that, don't go for the second best if you can't find the best for your own, as it is considered as a big mistake. How true this statement is, how feasible is it to your life, only you will know.
Anyway, let's not get too worry, if you don't feel the excitement from your routine, yet. :) A change of attitude or a change of opinions, might change the tune. Make your life worthwhile, hope your routines excites!

Memories
Just watched the movie called "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind"...it says at the cover, "A film for anyone with a past...they'd rather forget." Everyone has his own past, which they will keep for their whole lives, and past which they wish they had never had. This movie, talks about, people suffering with memories that they rather forget and someone there to help erasing the memories, or more specifically, erasing someone from their lives.
Maybe we should be glad, that there's no such technology yet. Part and parcel of our lives, are built up with all those memories, they are all valuable ones. Everything you feel, everything you touch, everyone you met, turn out to be memories stored deep inside of you.
Pain memories..they taught us how to be strong, how to face them, how to handle them. They are like the orange pulps, being left at the bottom of a glass of orange juice, stir it, to bring the memories on to the surface of your mind, and feel the sourness...Sweet memories...you will feel it with your heart, and you will never give it away. You'll smile just when you think about it.
In our whole life, we taste the bitterness and sweetness. You cannot forget that particular memory, cause it somehow affects you, became part of you, and the one who you are today. So why tearing a piece of you away? And make yourself incomplete?
They said that, thinking about how to forget it, actually makes you remember it more, I think it's true. So, why forget, while you have the ability to remember...

Independance
Miss Independant, do guys like miss independant? Girls nowadays tend to be independant, as they say, they don't want to depend on anyone else, especially guys, cause...guys just can't be trusted.. :)) that's what some girls think. Miss independant...hmm, they are for me someone who doesn't need any guy's shoulder to cry on, rest on, don't even need guys to do all those hard chores. They can do anything by themselves, can live on a no-man-island. :) Guys..does someone like that mean no troubles to you, no-fuss, no commitment to take when you're with them, as they can protect themselves and even moving the big rock which blocking her road...? then it will be->Supergirl! :))
It has been instilled in the mind, it's the nature and the norm, that guys are the one who should be the one that stand up for girls, fulfill girls requests. Girls or woman are the gentle formations, and it's the nature and the norm, that girls want to be cared and be treated kind by guys. :P That's one of the many differences between girls and guys and I see that, as a trustworthiness.
I believe that every girls has her strongest side, but they appear to be weak when there's someone to grab hold on to, someone whom they can hang on to. That would be the guys whom they think are protective enough but still caring enough, which is unlike bodyguard type of protection.
As for guys...guys don't like girls who are too independant. They would want to care and it is that something, the kind of feeling of able to take care of someone that should exist when being around with girls. Not the same when being with a bunch of guys. But too much of dependancies will mean troubles to them. And they dislike these as much as the too-independant cases.
So girls, do take note that, too much of relies make a man frown. Guys, your caring means a lot and it does contribute to the definition of "gentleman" in her dictionary!

Confidence
How does your confidence like? Is it like the dominoes lying side by side, with just one single touch on any of the pieces, all the others will collapse? Or is it like a strongly built concrete bridge that never minds the wind blows? I would wish that yours would be the second one. Never in a shaky state and never ever question your confidence. People are born with abilities, but are they born with confidence? Talking about confidence with abilities, I think it is built upon abilities. When a person grows up, along the way, they "realise" the abilities that they have. That they can draw amazingly well, they can sing very well and they are good with maths, and the confidence grows along as they keep on doing well.
When you think that it will be very good if there's a big boost in your confidence. I would like to say, just remember not to let it take over you, as it might have exceed certain level, inevitably leads to ego. You would not want it to become your enemy, where people feel irritated by your ego, initiated by your "top of the world" confidence, right? Confidence should be helping you to perform well, become the energy that drives you towards your goal, but never ever should be turned into the master of ego.
I believe that the confidence relies strongly on a person's persistence and determination. Imagine somebody who does so well in something whereby he gain the confidence as he goes. And then one day, he fails in doing things which he has so much confidence in. The confidence level may plunge to zero just like that, and he feels so despair. But someone with strong persistency will still remain his confidence level and continue doing it with full confidence, never mind the fails. If it happens, don't worry, cause you have your determination and abilities - your driving forces. Renew the confidence right away, refresh yourself, and keep on moving, cause it's not the end yet!
