In continuation of the previous post I have written, I know that there is no way for me to be truly happy but to change my perspectives and the way I see things in life…
I need to embrace change and have faith that at the end of it all I’ll be able to see life in all its precious colors. Life is still beautiful. Tough times never last…

“The nature and structure of belief systems is important from the perspective of an informational theorist because beliefs are thought to provide the cognitive foundation of an attitude. In order to change an attitude, then, it is presumably necessary to modify the information on which that attitude rests. It is generally necessary, therefore, to change a person’s beliefs, eliminate old beliefs or introduce new beliefs.”
— Richard Petty and John Cacioppo Attitudes & Persuasion
“All is connected … no one thing can change by itself.”

“Keep in mind that you cannot control your own future. Your destiny is not in your hands; it is in the hands of the irrational consumer and society. The changes in their needs, desires, and demands will tell you where you must go. All this means that managers must themselves feel the pulse of change on a daily, continuous basis…. They should have intense curiosity, observe events, analyze trends, seek the clues of change, and translate those clues into opportunities.”
— Michael J. Kami
“When we see the need for deep change, we usually see it as something that needs to take place in someone else. In our roles of authority, such as parent, teacher, or boss, we are particularly quick to direct others to change. Such directives often fail, and we respond to the resistance by increasing our efforts. The power struggle that follows seldom results in change or brings about excellence. One of the most important insights about the need to bring about deep change in others has to do with where deep change actually starts.”
— Robert E. Quinn

“The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise — with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.”
— Abraham Lincoln December 1, 1862 in Message to Congress
If I could have only one thing in this life it would be happiness… The kind of bliss that gives you peace of mind. For years I have been blindly searching for that something or someone that would make me feel complete and contented. And this life, as I see it today, has been only been kind and generous. It has given me pieces of that something yet I fail to appreciate them all. If I am miserable there is no one else to blame except my self and my failure to see blessings at the tip of my nose. I hope I haven’t come to this realization late.
Happiness is a choice says someone Iknow. And I choose to be happy now. Whatever happens…
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.
I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.
One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one’s own way to the highest, to one’s own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one’s ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization of the world in which we live.
Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy — because we will always want to have something else or something more.
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year’s course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.
The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.
Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Many people have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.
The world has to learn that the actual pleasure derived from material things is of rather low quality on the whole and less even in quantity than it looks to those who have not tried it.
Everything is material for the seed of happiness, if you look into it with inquisitiveness and curiosity. The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment. There always is the potential to create an environment of blame — or one that is conducive to loving-kindness.
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life — happiness, freedom, and peace of mind — are always attained by giving them to someone else.
People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.
Happiness, it seems to me, consists of two things: first, in being where you belong, and second — and best — in comfortably going through everyday life, that is, having had a good night’s sleep and not being hurt by new shoes.
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine.
If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.
What living on a budget means (which I should consider!):
You might not like it, but living on a budget really can make a difference in your life. Besides helping you save money, it’s a great way to organize your life and get better focus on your priorities. Spend some time sorting through how much you’re spending and what you’re spending it on — you will immediately see a few areas that need changes. Just one hour spent getting a better picture of your financial situation could save you a lot of time and money, later.
Since when do you come around?
And the temperature’s changed, nothing’s the same
Left me, in yesterday;
You don’t see me that way, touch me that way, no more..
When you get so cold, I’m not sure just how much longer I can hold..
You got me standing at the bottom of this mountain that we’ve made (mountain that we’ve made)
And the ground is shaking from all of our mistakes (all of our mistakes)
But there’s no one, but then the ice is in our way
It’s a matter of time,
We can rewind
If only you knew,
Why my heart is through for you
I’m tryna break through,
Don’t you think it’s worth the chance?
Let’s leave the past, is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, oh, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, yeah, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche, ooooh)
We see what’s up ahead
Why do we stay?
Watching us fading
Trapped in by regret
There’s no way out, and there’s no way in, no
And it’s so cold, I’m not sure just how much longer I can hold
You got me standing at the bottom of this mountain that we’ve made (mountain that we’ve made)
And the ground is shakin’, from all of our mistakes (all of our mistakes)
But there’s no one, but then the ice is in our way
It’s a matter of time, we can rewind
If only you knew,
Why my heart is through for you
I’m tryna break through,
Don’t you think it’s worth the chance?
Let’s leave the past,
Is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, oh, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, yeah, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche, ooooh)
The bond is breaking and it’s taking over my spirit (quickly, quickly)
Something’s shifted, have we drifted too far apart now?
If you, oh,
If only you knew,
Why my heart is through for you
I’m tryna break through,
Don’t you think it’s worth the chance?
Let’s lead the past,
Is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, oh, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche)
Can we pull through this avalanche? (avalanche, avalanche, yeah, this avalanche, avalanche, avalanche, ooooh)

Act fast — this offer is good for a limited time only! Everything you do right now comes up roses — think the Midas touch, but multiplied to the nth power. So if there are any big changes you want to implement or some grand plans that need just the right touch to get them going in style, now is the moment. Your wagon is hitched to some pretty high-powered celestial escorts — wherever you want to go is up to you.
This should be an integral part of my daily thoughts right? Not just for today. But today is a good start huh? Hmmm what have I done so far..checked my FS, wrote a couple of posts here, checked my facebook and chatted with some friends, maybe I should visit my farm in FarmTown and my pet at Pet Society.. I had my hair dyed uh-uh and I also had a diamond peel today (vanity). Anyway I also inquired about driving school now so I’ll better start next weekend. Good luck to me!
Well the first Korean girl group I liked was FINKL. I never get tired of listening to their song true love until now. It was the theme song from the Koreanovela All About Eve which is my favorite too.
The next one is Wonder Girls. Their like the Korean Spice Girls now. We actually danced their song Nobody when we had our intermission at work. LOL
And the latest is 2NE1. I like I Don’t Care’s beat, very pop.
Tristan: I live in torture, thinking of these moments. With every look he gives you, I get sicker and sicker. There is a burning in me I feel on fire, and there’s guilt I can’t comidify. Does it make you happy to know that? Isolde: The Roman Bridge, I can get to it without being seen, and I’d go there any time to be with you.
Lord Marke: Do you find no comfort in your home, these stearn walls that you helped build? Tristan: I find these walls a prison. Lord Marke: Why? Tristan: Everything I wanted seems meaningless.
Isolde: You risked your life to give me to another man. Tristan: You said your name was Bragnae. Why did you do that? Isolde: Oh, what have I done? Stop this, please, Tristan, say something. Tristan: I can’t. I won you in my King’s name. Isolde: But I’m your’s. You touched me and I you. Tristan: It doesn’t matter. Isolde: It’s the only thing that matters, Tristan. Leave with me, I’ll go anywhere!
[last lines] Isolde: [reading] I wonder by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved? were we not wean’d till then? But suck’d on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den? ‘Twas so ; but this, all pleasures fancies be ; If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee. And now good-morrow to our waking souls, Which watch not one another out of fear ; For love all love of other sights controls, And makes one little room an everywhere. Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone ; Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown ; Let us possess one world ; each hath one, and is one. My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; Where can we find two better hemispheres Without sharp north, without declining west? Whatever dies, was not mix’d equally; If our two loves be one, or thou and I Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die.
Isolde: Know that I love you Tristan. Wherever you go, whatever you see. I will always be with you.
[his last lines] Tristan: You were right. I don’t know if life is greater than death. But love was more than either.
Isolde: What do you think became of them? Tristan: They were lives… just lived.
Tristan: [to Lord Marke] She is loyal to you. I am sure of it.
Tristan: [fleeing Ireland] Come with me. Isolde: I can’t. Tristan: Why not? Isolde: We both know this cannot be, Tristan. We knew it from the start. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t true, it is.
Lord Marke: [on the affair] How long? Isolde: Since you thought he was dead. I found him wounded on a beach in Ireland. And I told him my name was Bragnae. So when he came to the tournament at Dunluce to win Doncadh’s daughter he didnt realize it was me. All this time, my heart has been his. And I’m sorry. He tried, harder than you can possible imagine because he loves you.
Tristan: What’s your name? Isolde: Oh, I think it’s better if we don’t bother with names. Tristan: How can I thank you if I don’t have your name? Isolde: You just did. If you insist, my name is Bragnae. I’m a lady in waiting at the court. My parents are dead. My mother is the source of the kindness you find so puzzling. My father would’ve left you where you fell. Tristan: Tristan of Aragon. Isolde: Well Tristan of Aragon, I’d guess about you too, but I think I’ve already seen everything.
Isolde: Yesterday at the market, I saw a couple holding hands… and I realized we’ll never do that. Never anything like it. No picnics or unguarded smiles. No rings. Just… stolen moments that leave too quickly.
Isolde: Why? Tristan: There are other things to live for: duty, honor. Isolde: But they are not life Tristan. They are the shells of life, and empty ones if in the end all they hold are days and days without love. Love is made by God. Ignore it and you suffer as you cannot imagine. Tristan: Then I will no longer live without it.
Isolde: Tristan, if we do this… Tristan: For all time they will say it was our love, brought down a kingdom. Remember us.
[pushes the boat away]
Tristan: Come with me. Come with me! Isolde: I can’t! Tristan: Why not? Please! Isolde: Tristan, we both know this can’t be, we’ve known it from the start. That doesn’t mean it isn’t true, it is, it just cannot be. I want to know that you’re alive somewhere thinking of me from time to time. I want to know that there’s more to this life and I can’t know that if they kill you. Please! Go.
Isolde: If things were different, if we lived in a place without duty, would you be with me? Tristan: That place does not exist. Isolde: [sobs] I’ll pretend it’s you.
Tristan: Your marriage will end a hundred years of bloodshed. Isolde: [sobbing] My marriage to another man!
Isolde: I’m yours! King Donnchadh: No, Tristan has won you on behalf of Lorde Marke.
[Tristan looks up at Isolde surprised]
Tristan: What’s this about a tournament? Lord Marke: The king has offered his daughter to whichever man wins. Tristan: Let me go and win you a wife.
Lord Marke: [to Tristan] Is it possible a man blinded by love might not see treachery right in front of him?
Isolde: How many have you loved before me? Tristan: None. Isolde: And after me? Tristan: None.
Lord Marke: If we lose we could end up following Wictred. I’d need an infallible champion. Tristan: Me. Lord Marke: [chuckles] You are not yet healed. Tristan: Then this trip will be my tonic.
Tristan: Isolde, we can’t. Isolde: It’s like asking me to stop breathing.
I love Tristan and Isolde. I watched the movie for the nth time already and I’ve collected some MV from you tube in honor of that wonderful, well tragic story. Anyway, here goes…
The movie trailer first:
The first few music videos are disabled but you can watch it from the link: How Can I Not Love You
Okey, I just looked up my FS horoscope for the day and here’s what it says:
Friendster Horoscope for August 7, 2009
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
The Bottom Line
Real changes are coming in one of your older relationships and they’re good ones!
In Detail
Just when you were sure you’d never, ever hear from them again — and just when you were getting used to the idea — guess what? You’ll see or hear from someone who’ll mention that this particular missing person has been seen, and that they’ve mentioned your name. Remember, when you’re thinking of someone, it’s often because they’re thinking of you too. Prepare yourself to meet up with them, and don’t pretend that you’re not tickled when it happens.
OMG! Something like this one is happening right now in my life. Someone is being brought back to my life by a twist of fate. But the thing is, I have learned not to fall inside the trap anymore. So good luck to me! If it says here it’ll be a good change for the both of us then well “you are welcome” ; but if not, get out of my life!
I am starting a new work and well, life at another company which I believe is more suited for me and offers tons more of oppurtunities for growth than the previous one. And for those people who knows me well, they know that I always carry a pen and a notebook anywhere (almost, as long as I have my bag with me ). That is where I scribble my thoughts away and what’s keeping my mind on my goals for the present are these inspiring thoughts. Hope they will make you feel the way I do. Get a life and grab it by your two hands!
“OWN YOUR LIFE!”
“A good name is more desirable than great wealth. Respect is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1
Honesty is the best policy (however cliche this may sound it is true!).
Comparisons are easily done
Once you’ve had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed
You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know
‘Cause when I’m with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes
You’re like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I’ve had the best?
You said there’s tons of fish in the water, so the waters I will test
He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh!
(Taste your mouth)
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
‘Cause when I’m with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into
You’re the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson’s learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know!
‘Cause when I’m with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your, your eyes
Looking into your eyes, looking into your eyes
Oh, won’t you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away?
Oh, no more mistakes
‘Cause in your eyes I’d like to stay, stay
…yes, but like a phoenix i did rise out of the ashes.
i can not divulge every painful emotion I went through the past few weeks but still a girl needs a breathing space right?
One thing’s for sure, what you learn from your mistake will help you become a much stronger, better person in the end; ready to face a bright new day.
Lessons learned:
1. You are responsible for your own happiness. Do not depend on anyone else to save you.
2. Become self-reliant. Never expect someone to do the job for you. In the end it is only your that can make things happen for you.
3. Be loyal. Always stick to your family and friends. Appreciate every moment you have spent together - nothing can equal that.
4. Stay Focused. Keep your eye on your goal. Do not get distracted.
5. Keep yourself busy. Join a new group or take up a new craft. I think I’ll go to the gym (boxing and yoga would be good options) and enroll in a driving school asap. Also the writing school I planned to enrol in last year, I think I will take up that class after learning how to drive. And I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar so I think I’ll buy one on my next salary.
6. Take care of and pamper yourself. Always feel beautiful inside and out. Keep a happy countenance, always. List the things that make you fabulous, because you are!
7. Pray. Hope. Do not lose hope. And keep the Faith.
8. Still believe in love and that life is beautiful. Do not let any individual or event destroy the meaning of love and life for you.
9. Learn. Always learn from your mistakes and turn a dreary situation to a positive experience. We are born to make mistakes so we can eventually master life and any hard blows it might get in our way.
10. Live and count your blessing everyday. Just breath. Life goes on. Remember things would’ve been much worse but it didn’t; so always be thankful.
