Yin-Yang

Here's a small guide for all the lovers of "yin & yang" concept. I am one of those lovers. I do believe that there's always good and bad about everything, I believe that life is all about balance in which the good and the bad somehow complete the dynamic of life.

Quote of the day

Clouds come floating into my life, 
no longer to carry rain or usher storm, 
but to add color to my sunset sky.

Lovely Advice

I once said that we can only give advice to other people when they ask us to give them one. But if they don't ask, it's better for us not to give the advice. I really agree on how it works because I usually hate it when people just give me advice when I don't need one. Sometimes we tell other people out story just to let them lend their ears to hear our story. But here's a piece of lovely advice I found. I am not giving you advice to do the things I posted below. Just something that will hopefully can make your weekend brighter by reading the lovely advice below. Have a great weekend everyone.

After A While..

It's raining here in y place and out of nowhere I found this poem by Veronica A Shoffstall. It's quite hard to find the biography of her but for sure I love the poem she wrote back in 1971. The title is "After A While". Every words make sense. It's like learning a new wisdom in life. I can't say anything more about the poem. It's so worth to read. 

After a while… 

by Veronica A. Shoffstall (1971)

After some time you learn the difference, 
The subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning,
And company doesn’t always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts,
And presents aren’t promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats,
With your head up and your eyes ahead,
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn,
That even the sun burns if you get too much,
And learn that it doesn’t matter how much you do care about,
Some people simply don’t care at all.
And you accept that it doesn’t matter how good a person is,
She will hurt you once in a while,
And you need to forgive her for that.
You learn that talking can relieve emotional pain.
You discover that it takes several years to build a relationship based on confidence,
And just a few seconds to destroy it.
And that you can do something just in an instant,
And which you will regret for the rest of your life.
You learn that the true friendships,
Continue to grow even from miles away.
And that what matters isn’t what you have in your life,
But who you have in your life.
And that good friends are the family,
Which allows us to choose.

You learn that we don’t have to switch our friends,
If we understand that friends can also change.
You realize that you are your best friend,
And that you can do do anything, or nothing,
And have good moments together.
You discover that the people who you most care about in your life,
Are taken from you so quickly,
So we must always leave the people who we care about with lovely words,
It may be the last time we see them.
You learn that the circunstances and the enviroment have influence upon us,
But we are responsible for ourselves.

You start to learn that you should not compare yourself with others,
But with the best you can be.
You discover that it takes a long time to become the person you wish to be,
And that the time is short.
You learn that it doesn’t matter where you have reached,
But where you are going to.
But if you don’t know where you are going to,
Anywhere will do.
You learn that either you control your acts,
Or they shall control you.
And that to be flexible doesn’t mean to be weak or not to have personality,
Because it doesn’t matter how delicate and fragile the situation is,
There are always two sides.
You learn that heroes are those who did what was necessary to be done,
Facing the consequences.
You learn that patience demands a lot of practice.
You discover that sometimes,
The person who you most expect to be kicked by when you fall,
Is one of the few who will help you to stand up.
You learn that maturity has more to do with the kinds of experiences you had
And what you have learned from them,
Than how many birthdays you have celebrated.

You learn that there are more from you parents inside you than you thought.
You learn that we shall never tell a child that dreams are silly,
Very few things are so humiliating,
And it would be a tragedy if she belived in it.
You learn that when you are angry,
You have the right to be angry,
But this doesn’t give you the right to be cruel.
You discover that only because someone doesn’t love you the way you would like her to,
It doesn’t mean that this person doesn’t love you the most she can,
Beacuse there are people who love us,
But just don’t know how to show or live that.
You learn that sometimes it isn’t enough being forgiven by someone,
Sometimes you have to learn how to forgive yourself.
You learn that with the same harshness you judge,
Some day you will be condemned.

You learn that it doesn’t matter in how many pieces your heart has been broken,
The world doesn’t stop for you to fix it.
You learn that time isn’t something you can turn back,
Therefore you must plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure.
You really are strong .
And you can go so farther than you thougt you could go.
And that life really has a value.
And you have value within the life.
And that our gifts are betrayers,
And make us lose
The good we could conquer,
If it wasn’t for the fear of trying.

Respect..

I am loving the quote I am posting below. In fact, it's the first time I've ever read it. It's a quote from Arundhati Roy, an Indian author and political activist. The quote below opened my eyes and also my heart. Reminders of how we should always think and behave. My most favorite line is this one "To respect strength, never power" 

To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. 

To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. 

To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. 

To respect strength, never power. 

Above all, to watch. To try and understand. 

To never look away. And never, never to forget.

Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

Namaste

Often I hear people saying "namaste". Those who do yoga surely often hear this word. I don't really know the meaning of the word but I do know that the meaning must be something good. Why? Because the word is often used to greet other people. Here's what wikipedia has to say about the word:

Namaste (nah-məs-tay; Hindi: [nəməsteː], formal: Namaskar/Namaskaram) is a common spoken valediction or salutation originating from the Hindus and Buddhists in the Indian Subcontinent and also in Japan. It is acustomary greeting when individuals meet, and a valediction upon their parting. A non-contact form of salutation is traditionally preferred in India and Nepal; Namaste is the most common form of such a salutation.

Namaste is derived from Sanskrit and is a combination of two words, "Namaḥ" and "te." Namaḥ means 'bow,' 'obeisance,' 'reverential salutation' or 'adoration' and te means 'to you' (dative case of 'you'). Therefore, Namaste literally means "salutations to you.

And below is the image I found when I was browsing about the image of the word "namaste". Turns out that the meaning is very nice. No wonder people use it to greet other people. Maybe from now on I will greet you with the really beautiful word "namaste" =)

Silence

Being in a silent room for a while can sometimes boost my mood. Seriously. I enjoy being in a silent room for like an hour or so. Just listen to the clock ticking on the wall. Just like what I am doing now. I can only listen to the clock ticking and my computer keyboard that I'm typing now. It feels good to clear your mind from those unnecessary sound. It feels like a refreshing thing when you can finally be alone for a while and sit in silence. Feels so good. Maybe you should try it...for those who haven't tried it. Just like what I have always said about a new week. If you have a great Monday, most probably you'll have good days for the rest of the week. Have a great Monday =)

“I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. 

It has a quality and a dimension all its own.”

Timekeeping...

Can you imagine yourself not knowing about what day it is today, what time it is now or even when is your birthday? Below is an image of imagining life without timekeeping. I certainly can't do it. Life for me is always about timing. Living life means you have to keep up with the time you're having. How about you?

New Day, New Wishes

New week, new day and new wishes. Those are my greetings for you on this Monday =) New wishes mean that your previous wishes have become dreams that come true. That means you have to make new wishes. Any wishes that will make you happy can do. My new wish is simply just to have a good week. Have you ever hear about superstitious thing on making wishes on 11.11? I overheard someone said that when you make a wish on 11.11 (the time on your digital clock), your wishes will come true. You can believe it or you can ignore it. But it's a fun thing to know though =) Have a great day...

Tomorrow...

I came across this quote and fell in love instantly. It's a quote about the future, about tomorrow, about a brand new day. Say that you've made mistake today, now what? There's always tomorrow, tomorrow can always give us a chance to fix things and a chance to make it a better day. Have a great weekend everyone =)

“Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a 

new day with no mistakes in it yet?”

Being Loved

Hi everyone...wow, it feels like ages ago since the last time I made posting. Last week was a busy week. I started to plan on my baby daughter 1st birthday party. My husband and I want it to be a great party since it'll be her first birthday party. So I went here and there to find things that we want to have on her big day. I hope all will go well on the big day. How was your weekend? Hope you all had a great time. At first I wanted to have a small intimate birthday party for my daughter but my husband disagreed. He said that it'll her first birthday so he wanted to have something special for her and I thought well maybe he's right, maybe we should have a special one. The most important thing is that my daughter will feel that she's being loved by everyone when everyone come to her special day. It's the feeling of being loved that cannot be replaced by anything else. Maybe my husband is right..it's not the party but the feeling of love that my daughter will receive from everyone else =) Hope you are all being loved too...Have a great Monday

Who knows maybe some of you need a break from something. Here are 50 things you can do to take a break.

PAINS

I just watched a talk show on my locan TV and the host of the talkshow said something about PAINS. He said that PAINS can have such an important impact to our life. But I am not talking about PAINS as in being hurt or being suffered here. PAINS here means something else. It's an abbreviation of words that can somehow give us a reminder about things that literally hurting us. 

P  - Positive

A - Attitude

I  - In

N - Negative

S - Situation

 So, what do you think? I really agree on the abbrevation. There's always something that we can learn even in a bad situation.
