When Muffin Meets Milko

I can't believe my eyes looking at the calendar that today is the last day of February.

Today happens to be a remarkable day as well. Firstly, today, February 29 happens only once every 4 years, & secondly because today is the last day of my supervisor working at our branch. After 7 months supervising us in a cubicle boiling room, finally he has to leave for another branch to conduct a different role.
While it is a victory for him, it is surely a certain loss for us as the team.

Then I recall a friend's saying to me that people come and go..but the memory won't, so we must remember and learn all the good things.

One thing I will always remember about him is that when he told me that everyday brings a new opportunity to face, so we must not losing our faith, & it's not always that winning is being the first, but winning means we are doing better than we have been before.

I found it profound!

Let's face another fresh beginning for tomorrow, just like a muffin meets a glass of full cream milk. Hmmm...Fresh it is! :)

C.O.N.G.E.E

I Just got cured from a terrible sore throat that made me left my beloved office for 1.5 days.
♥
The only good thing about being sick is that I can spoil myself as much as I wish without feeling guilty.
So...for the last 2 days I spoiled myself by sleeping along the day, having foot massage, & going to the salon for a nice hair spa.
Fortunately, there's still some delights occured during my gloomy days.
♥
The good news is....I am gaining my spirit backk today!! \.(′▽``)./ ••I just got back from the porridge dinner with the 2 besties. I feel good & happy & I am so looking forward for the new sun to rise again tomorrow.
♥
I believe every sunrise possesses different exposure of light each day that creates different story to tell.
But..I hope for every exposure it brings, it will make a good story for my day...today & forward.
♥
Good night, world! Xoxo

I Have Learned Myself

I would like to add certain lessons I learned from my own observations and experiences. And here they go...

•I've learned that it's not the smartest person who make the greatest leap in career path, but it's someone who is caring with a helpful nature & also a good heart.

•I've learned that many things won't happen if we do not intentionally make it happen. So, we just need to do it & make it happen.

•I've learned that how high the pride we have, sometimes we really need to put aside of it. Having too much or too less pride won't do any good. So, it's best to have balanced portion of it.

•I've learned that it's never be a good thing to be in a grey area. But if you are trapped in it, just enjoy the stay until colorful sight coming your way.

•I've learned that it's never been agreeable to depend onto somebody. Being self sufficient is always better than being a dependent.

•I've learned that people change in term of how they see & value things.

•I've learned that life has so many excitements, surprises, & events to come by alternately.

•I've learned that what goes around comes around. So, it's best not to do things we do not want others to do it toward us.

And last but not least....

•I've learned that we can just enjoy doing certain thing for no reason... Just like me..now...purposely..updating my blog. :)

Today apparently was not one of those fave day of mine & just now I realized that my energy was drained as a result of too much late night sleepings this lately.
So, I think I gotta catch up with the long lost hours of sleep.

Good night & cya later, amis!! ♥

I Have Learned From Others

This text, which I found during my evening browsing at the office has caught my attention. I found it so true, so I think it's worth reproducing here.
Happy reading! :)

#I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them;
#I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
#I've learned that it takes year to build up trust, & only seconds to destroy it.

#I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
#I've learned that no matter how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades & there had better be something else to take its place.
#I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're downhill are the ones to help you get back up.
#I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry.

#I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Some goes for true love.

#I've learned that our background & circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
#I've learned that just two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. & just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
#I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
#I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing & see something totally different.
#I've learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt & you will get hurt in the process.

Lessons From The Alchemist

"Why do we have to listen to our hearts?" the boy asked, when they had made camp that day.

"Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure."

"But my heart is agitated," the boy said. "It has its dreams, it gets emotional, & it's become passionate over a woman of the desert. It asks things of me, & it keeps me from sleeping many night, when I'm thinking about her."

"Well, that's good. Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say."

"My heart is a traitor," the boy said to the alchemist, when they had paused to rest the horse. "It doesn't want me to go on."

"That makes sense. Naturally it's afraid that, in pursuing your dream, you might lose everything you won."

"Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?"

"Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet."

"You mean I should listen, even if it's treasonous?"

"Treason is a blow that comes unexpectedly. If you know your heart well, it will never be able to do that to you. Because you'll know its dreams & wishes, & will know how to deal with them."

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. & that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God & with eternity."

Happy Valentine's day, everyone! :)

For the Love of Donald Duck

Valentine's day is drawing near in just a matter of days. It is a lovey dovey day, speaking of which we should have it celebrated with our special ones. But what if the presence of that special one is not yet coming up? Commiting a suicide?! Lol

Hell no!Have it my ways, buddies! My plans in mind are those of making puddings, having a super dinner with buddies, eating lots lots of chocolates, drinking a glass of red wine in the evening, and listening to my fave love songs while reading a nice book in my little island at the very end of the day. Sounds great. Yes?! So, surely commiting a suicide is not an option! Life is still good no matter what! :)

For those of kitty couples, what have you guys prepared for your loved ones for this lovey dovey day? Is there anything for me? Pleaseeeeee.....*kitty look*
Oh well, just in case you guys are too stingy to share things up, I already rewarded myself a new gadget this month as a valentine's gift just for myself yayyy :)

While I and my single buddies used to wear grey outfits and calling this day as BLV as the abbreviation of Blue Lonely Valentine for years, I decide to wear bright colors and changing the term to PLV as of Pink Lovely Valentine this year. Sounds better, right?

Afterall, I think valentine's day is not merely a love day for those of the couples, but it's also a love day for the single souls.
Wisemen said that when we are able to love ourselves, then we will surely give love to others. So agreeable!

Secret of Happiness

I just watched a video of Ajahn Brahm being interviewed by a local tv reporter & I learn something about secret of happiness.

There are two examples being mentioned.

Firstly, an example about a cup of tea.
The longer a cup of tea is on hold, the heavier it will become.
After a minute our arm might started to ache
After 3 minutes, it will be in pain.
After 10 minutes, it will be in agony.
But if we put down & pick it up again a minute later, it will feels so much lighter.
The point is that when things are too heavy to bear, just put it down. It's best to wait until the right moment when we are ready to face it up again, & by the time it surely feels so much lighter & solutions will come up themselves.

Secondly, given an example about a story when Ajahn was still a kid. He owned a mini bicycle when he was 10. He was so afraid to falling off that he grabbed the bicycle handle until his palm was white & he was so stiffed that he got falling off his bicycles for so many times because he was so rigid of fear. But when he learned how to relax, he didn't fall off anymore.
The lesson implied is that when we learn how to relax in life & not be afraid of falling off then we tend not to fall off.

In conclusion, being relax is all we need to pursue a real happiness according to Ajahn Brahm.

We live in a world full of critics that sometimes discourage us & making us down. We have 2 choices here, either to be discouraged or be determined and follow our faith. The choice is all ours.
I would surely choose the latter one. Which one would be yours?
