the unorthodox. : December 2012

12.12.12

“Relationships are not just about criticisms, not about being in love, not just about accepting someone for whom, what and how they are. It is just about everything; acceptance of flaws, holding on to promises and looking an imperfect person perfectly.”

Let's see.

Just a short quick update after a super long hiatus.

Well, right now, I have a bad bad case of writer's block. Like serious serious case of blockage happening. I just can't....write stuff down. (Perhaps tooooo many good stuffs in my mind, hehe). Hell, I even tried, "smoking" my way through, but I see no smoke. Just plain white space. Oh wells, let me try to get my mojo backkk.

On another note, I'm having a jolly good time in the year 2012, despite the world's gonna end soon. Spending time outside with loved ones; creating memories, overcoming the obstacles in life, and coming back stronger than ever.

2012 felt like it came just yesterday.

I came to realise that, the one that I used to hate, the one that I always criticise and wished that she was not a part of my life, was the one who was always there for me. And now I have learned to forgive and forget, removing all the negativities and the all the pre-conceived judgements I used to have on her. It wasn’t really that difficult actually; when you open your heart and learn to accept and forgive, you eventually reach to a realisation that you’ve become a better person in life.

Life can be difficult, no doubt. People are always looking for an influence, someone to look up to, someone to emulate. You can set the example, be the motivation that can really impact another. You can help change the world by changing yourself first. Change must come from within.

Having said that, why the decision to post an entry now? Not yesterday, tomorrow or next week?

Two reasons: #1, As cliché as it is, today is the 12^th December 2012. Usually, a normal, typical human being will want to do something significant on such unique dates, which of course is very normal to do so and I have nothing against it, yes? Yeah, yeah I do claim myself to be atypical, unorthodox, yada yada, but I’m only human and humans just do what humans do, righttttttttttt?

And #2, For those who knew, I received two pocket diaries for Christmas last year from my BFFs (which in the end, I only used one, oops). Frankly speaking, I’m never the one that keeps track on my schedule kind of person. Trust me, I have the messiest room at home albeit I’m the only daughter in the family. So the notion of, “A girl’s room should always be neat and pretty” is invalid, pronto.

Anyhoo, before I start digressing even further, the other reason that I decided to post today because Christmas is coming! Totally unrelated but yeah, Christmas is the season to be happy and merry! I, personally love this time of the year; the weather; the social gatherings; the gifts exchange; the festive mood; the happy songs, all of ‘em. It just brings smiles to everyone cos it’s such a happy occasion. Now now, I’m neither a Christian nor a Catholic and neither do I believe in Christianity and/or Roman Catholic views. Before I go in deeper into this issue, let’s just look into the view that Christmas is an occasion that brings happiness and people together, alright?

Christmas will definitely be a blast this year! My calendar is filled to the brim with lotsa gatherings, events, weddings and whatnots! Tell me how not to get excited for all this!

With that, I shall just abruptly end with some photos taken for the past few months. Toodles ~
