Soul Mates

Do soulmates exist?

Are there really someone in this world that are meant to be just for you?

What about the theory that soulmates are a part of yourself that have been separated from you before you were born, and whom you spend your entire life searching for? What about it that makes you want to believe in it?

How about the Japanese tale which suggests that you are connected to your soulmate by an invisible red thread around your pinky finger?

How do you recognize him when you meet him?

What if you never bump into her for the rest of your lives?

What happens then?

Do soulmates exist?

Do you believe in them?

When the mood comes, the photos come

I am bored…i am bored..i am bored…i am so bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody please suggest something for me to do…aside from cleaning, washing, watching dramas or animes or movies, playing the sims, trying to beat the boss from FFX, staring into space, staring into my laptop or reading books…

I’ve tried those (albeit a little unwillingly for the cleaning and washing part)..but i’m still bored..

Here are some random pics from my Japan trip:

You are my punch bag

During my time in the US, I kept a diary so that I could write down all the things that I experienced there. My roommate Jia Jia had a diary too, and she wrote in it everyday without fail. But it was hard for me to follow her. I found it taxing to write down every little thing that happened during the day.

Funny, but my mood to write only came when I was lonely or sad or afraid or angry or (put down every negative emotions that humans ever had). In the end, my diary was choke full of negative feelings and experiences, with only a few positive ones. Maybe it was like a punch bag for me, an outlet of some sorts, my unfortunate little diary.

But it really helped me though. My bad feelings “go away” after I wrote them down.

Maybe that is why I don’t like to write down good feelings and positive memories. I was afraid that they will “go away” too.

My diary should have been the one named “a puppy’s woes”, not my blog :).

When I read back what I had wrote back then, I am glad that I had overcame those feelings now. I definitely grew stronger in the process. And I am glad that I have that process all written down in my unfortunate little punch bag.

Please help this little black puppy

puppy_poster

I am not sure if any of you have heard about the Pulau Ketam case. To cut the story short, the villagers of Pulau Ketam dumped 300 stray dogs into an uninhabitable small island filled with snakes and quicksand without any food or drinks. Many dogs have died. The surviving dogs have no choice but to resort to eating other dogs’ dead bodies. If nobody help them, they too will die. This is my first time appealing for help. Please help if you are able to. If you are not able to help directly, please pray for them too. Hope their suffering will end soon.

This is a video of the rescuers trying to rescue a dog (who is later to be named Mercy) who came out to eat the food they left there. But they failed to capture it until the next day.

It really breaks my heart to see how thin the dog is. I didn’t really feel the gravity of the situation until I saw this video. Now i see their suffering and i couldn’t stop crying..

About the music…

Quoted from http://www.mycen.com.my/rescue/updates.html

“Music Notes: Miserere Mei by Allegri                                          (used here under license and with permission)
This is the very piece that young Mozart heard sung in the Cistene Chapel on his first visit to Italy and, because church music was never made available to the outside world by the Roman Catholic Church, Mozart memorized the entire composition. He only heard it once, and amazed everyone by writing it down, note for note, from his memory after the service. Miserere Mei, Deus is also translated as "Wretched me, Lord" and "Have Mercy On Me, Oh God"”

On Learning

Life sucks when you don’t have any purpose…hanging around everyday, wondering what are u going to do today, ending up doing the same thing as yesterday.

I thrive when u give me a purpose because then i know that i am not wasting my life away, one day at a time. That’s why i have taken up learning all by my own initiative. Learning Japanese, that is.

Back in school, I didn’t have much problems with grades simply because i love learning. Even though u won’t find me reading textbooks when there’s no exams (unlike my younger sis), i wouldn’t be too unhappy either when i need to study for exams. In fact, it gave me a certain kind of joy because it was like discovering something new about a subject, a language or the world.

Yes, sometimes i hated it, it was tiring, need to memorize so many things in so little time blablablaaa….but tat feeling of achievement that i got at the end of the day…satisfied me.

And I became a happy person. 

Memories & Hope

As long as we have memories, yesterday remains

As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits

Such beautiful words…
