major comeback

“A minor setback today is a major comeback tomorrow!”

Some line I hear from guess where? A survival contest show.
It is a survival contest whereby the girls are to perform and graded accordingly.
And one contestant was labelled as part of the bottom 7 and she replied the line above.

Perfect! I do believe that some setbacks are ways to improve ourselves. Falling apart should not mean failure at times but falling into place because maybe… we are meant to something better.

We should look at life in a bigger picture and not be too engrossed with looking at the minor details.
A painting, when you look at it closely, does not really make sense but when you move few steps away from it, it’s completely on a different level. Like life.

Our lives are made up of pursuits. We accomplish one thing by letting go of something. We take further steps back only to have that powerful push to propel further.

I don’t believe in quitting as an end, but I do believe that when you quit something, it is because you are giving way for new goals. I call it, a paradigm shift.

This entry may sound like I am convincing myself about my decision to quit soon. HAHA
Well, for one, it is. And yeah, when I quit something, it’s not because I have totally given up.
It only means I have come to this side of the road after enduring, pursuing, challenging myself to take it all until what’s actually left is the courage to go on a different route.

I don’t believe in being defeatist. When a task is given, no matter how difficult, I think it is right to try it first before saying “I can’t do it.” I busk in the glory of knowing that I have tried before I called it quits rather than not trying at all. And whatever the outcome, I know I have given my all, so I feel no regrets.

What keeps me on my toes though is that period after you stop doing something and waiting for the next opportunity to come. It makes me so anxious. But maybe, this particular period exists so we can breathe, recalibrate ourselves and take in a moment to actually know what we REALLY want to do with our lives. And this period is a period of transition… a period to recharge so we can take a leap again.



Better days are coming, Major comeback is rising! Aja!

Friendship is spelled with END

As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
