No Truth No Lie


Sometimes the truth can hurt us but so does lies. Is it better to tell a lie to protect someone or tell the truth that may also hurt somehow? Either way, both can bring pain. Why do we tell lies anyway?
1. We can’t help see others getting hurt.
2. We are afraid of others being angry with us.
3. We seek approval for what we say and do.
4. To make us popular.
5. For others to stay quiet.
And a whole lot more reasons I at the moment cannot think of.
If you will ask me, I’d rather be hurt knowing the truth. Why? Because whatever the consequences of knowing it though unpleasant, I’ll learn to cope up and deal with it the best way I can. While on lies, the lies itself is already hard to comprehend what more the thought of being lied to. Whenever I learn of being lied to, I have to ask why? Maybe now that I’m older and learned to question things, I’m not as hot headed and impulsive as I was young. I want to understand why things happened the way it happens. I try seeing things on a different perspective and views. We have to see matters on a bigger picture and try to figure out things objectively.
As always, those who lied to me have to endure the sharpness of my togue. But I admit there are times I’d rather hear some lies. Like what? Well, lets see... I’m pretty (hmmm that’s what my mirror tells me ahahaha), I’m sexy (atleast among the chubby hahaha), I’m fun to talk with (maybe ’coz most often than not I’m the only one talking hahahaha).
Seriously, we have to consider the people we are talking to. There must be sound judgement whether to tell truth or lies. I may want to hear the truth (and I demand to hear it.... demand really? What bossy? hehehe) but others may not take it well lest a lie must be told. So take your pick, is it TRUTH or LIE?

Promise???


Are promises really made to be broken? Whenever someone broke a promise to me I felt hurt, betrayed, disappointed, sad. From the start that it was made, in the back of my mind, somehow there’s doubt that it will be kept. But why do I still chose to believe?
1. I give my complete trust to a person. For me trust is something earned and not freely given (well unless you’re planning to have a family planning our government is giving free Trust... condom... daaa?!... hehehe) so better not to break that trust or I won’t believe anything you’ll say in the future.
2. I have faith to the person who made it and that he/she will comply by he/she said and knows how to keep it.
3. I value the person and the relationship I have with that person (especially friends, since I’m choosy of friends and those I have I keep). But I most certainly would not let you off the hook that easily.
4. It makes me want to know if I’m as important to them as they are to me. If you are really being valued as a person and as a friend they wouldn’t want you to feel hurt and disappointed, would they?

So remember, never let a person down coz it sure is not a good experience and feeling.

And pleeaasssee... don’t you piss me off by broken promises... you know I’m not the quiet type who will hold her tongue and let everything slide. I always speak my mind out coz it makes me feel better afterwards.

But be it a friend, love ones, or not, just be mindful of fulfilling your promises coz we are also judge by putting our words into action.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

I don’t know how I started getting the hang of it but you would constantly see me wearing a smile. I laugh easily whenever I talk to someone. Looking at me you wouldn’t have guess if somethings bothering me or not (well, unless it’s a major major issue). I’ve learned to adapt a happy attitude which helps me keep a positive outlook in life. I would often times encourage my friends to do the same and to laugh at their problems and worries. After solving our problems it will be there no more but the lines on your face will remain. Your wrinkled face will make you look old. Smiling and laughing makes us feel light hearted.....it's infectious. Imagine if all of us are smiling and laughing at each other. This will be a happy world to live in. So next time, find time to laugh, remember that laughter not only add life into your years but also years into your life."

Flowing Tears

Have you ever felt fed up and seems like would wanna give up? When others seem happy and contented you’re struggling to be that? Life is so unfair that there seem to be a heavy burden ladden on your shoulder. Whenever I’m having this kind of feeling, only crying helps me. Crying is my theraphy. After crying to my heart’s content and letting the tears flow until no more comes out, I feel a lot better. It’s as if I’ve been recharge and ready to face the battle on life again. Each of us have our own way to cope up with life, this is mine. And if crying won’t work the next time round, I’ll find ways to help me ease my heart and mind.

According to YOUR Will

I often thought how sad it is when someone dear to us leave this world. Today, I visited the wake of my co-employee’s son. Moises (or Moi, as he was fond of calling) was a young man at the age of 33 with a very promising career. He was found dead at his three bedroom apartment last August 4. The doctor’s finding was that one of his internal organs stopped functioning. The saddest part is, all happened abroad away from his family. I am all attention to the mother while she was talking during service. She’s brave and her being a devote christian (they are Protestant by religion) help her accept the fate of her son. She said she’s thanking God for letting her take care of Moi for the past 33 years, maybe it was time for Moi to join our Creator in His kingdom. Sad, true! But it is just a reminder to us that our life is not our own. If it is God’s will for us to leave the world and it’s earthly possession then there is nothing we can do about it. As I come of age, I see things on a different perspective. I have learned to appreciate the beauty of things around me. Everyday I’m thanking the Lord for my family and friends who have taught me the value of loving. And if oneday my time has come, I pray that I have done things according to His will.
