SALE~ everywhere...So many things to buy yet no money..*sigh~* i saw the ads in the papers, saw the ads on the net... When will the old man upstairs let me strike Toto, 4D??? [argh~!!] i wonder if this grumbling will grant an audience with the old man like Bruce[ Bruce Almighty]?? people always say life is a never-rehearse drama. but how dramatic a life can gets? or is your life dramatic like those you saw in tv? fancy meteor garden or romeo and juliet? or how about american pie and winter sonata?
*grin* though my life isn't that dramatic but i met a lot, a lot of wonderful people... A couple of them has changed my opinions and perspections of many things in life. One of them is i adopted from a senior of mine. i has stopped eating SHARKS' FIN<= notice that i bold the word. Yes my friends. Please don't treat me to sharks' fins anymore 'cos i don't eat them now and ever. and don't worry i also will not ask you all to do the same in my presense. I observe and respect individuality.
if you ask me why, i can only tell you this, I am no great man, nor a valiant knight, neither a magnanimous, benevolent noble. the earth is still spins, the sun still rise from the east and set in the west. flowers still bloom in spring and snow still flake in winter. I am just a self-proclaimed smart nobody trying to do my part in conserving the nature and protecting the marine life. this is a big step for me which is insignicant to the entire earthlings. which in the end still voice down to money. *sigh* ironically,i still need to save money for my diver's beginner & advance course before i can go around diving. without proper training n knowledge, i probably end up polluting the sea which sounds like industrial waste.

believe it or not, the words below is written by a 19 years old girl who have not completed high school. But i do like one verse in it, "Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen.''

Love, Chance or Choice

When we meet the right person to love when we're at the right place at the right time, that's chance.
When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's not a choice. That's chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That's also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level?

That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not a chance. That's choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that's choice.

Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make.

Regarding soul mates, there's a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this: '' Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen.''

I do believe that soul mates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it's still up to you to make the choice if you're going to do something about it or not. We may meet our soul mates by chance, but loving and staying with our soul mates is still a choice we have to make.

We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love...
BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly...
