Lost?

It is all right if you get lost.

Every now and then, the journey is more important than the destination.

by ~GreenRay

See the lighter side of things

Take note on the intriguing odds and ends of things you will see on the way.

Before long, you will realize that, yes, the journey has been more memorable

than the destination you have intended to reach.

When Emptiness Seems Momentous

2012-06-11T04:55:00.000+10:00

When the person isn't there,

when the empty spot seems momentous.

That is when you finally realize . . .

how much you adore and love this person.

Walk away

2012-06-03T00:55:00.002+10:00

It is always easy to walk away,

but never easy to stay . . .

For someone who is willing to stay with their other half

even after finding out they have been cheated/betrayed;

it takes a lot of courage to not walk away.

That is probably because they want to protect

what is important to them.

How complicated is complicated

2012-02-25T03:02:00.000+11:00

Why can't everything be easier

Why avoid when facing it will end your misery faster

Why run away when all you need to do is to say those words, and you'll be left alone

People say Life is complicated.
I'd say life is only as complicated as you made it . . .

Life can be like a math formula. . .

Simplify the formula and it won't seem so complicated anymore

People always say they want a simple life. . .
But, what is your definition of simple life.
A life which most of the things are done by the technologies we have today?
A life without technology?
Or those life our ancestors experienced?

Say what you want to say,
Do what you want to do,
Think less, and life won't as complicated as you think it is.

Some may say I'm ignorant
But ignorance is bliss.

by *binaryvision

And I'm just trying to be as optimistic as possible.

Truth

2012-02-20T01:36:00.000+11:00

Being kept in the dark isn't exactly a bad thing...

But it isn't that good either...

Sometimes I would think that knowing what's ahead (or the truth) of me is better than not knowing anything at all

...even if it hurts.

By ~cyberboni

Like they say, truth hurts (which I don't deny)

But when one realized how bad it hurts,

knowing the truth doesn't seem like a good thing anymore.

Then again, how many of you actually willing to listen to the truth

and how many of you rather act like everything is JUST FINE when it's really not?

And just so you know, life is not always a fairy tale.

I guess it all comes down to one question...

Would you or would you not rather be kept in the dark?

P/S: I think I'll still choose to know

...even if it affects me, physically or psychologically.

~~Because otherwise I will feel like I'm being left out~~

~~or I'm a fool~~

After all, I'm a very curious person.

Light in Darkness

2012-02-09T15:22:00.002+11:00

Darkness

I hate darkness

Because I can't see what is in front of me...

and what is around me

As curious as I can be...

The feeling of uncertainty

The feeling of not knowing what's ahead of me

is as scary

A hint of light. . .

would be comforting

even just for a bit.

Open your heart

"Don't be afraid to fall in love again.
Open your heart and follow where it leads you

...and remember, shoot for the moon...

PS, I will always love you..."

...to end your suffering

enter your pain."

Fiction

2011-10-25T20:12:00.004+11:00

In the world of fiction

things that are impossible can become possible

while

possible things may just become . . . impossible.

(if you know what I mean)

Would you rather live in a fictional world?

or stay in the real world?

If this is even possible, I would want to write my own fiction and live in it.

P/S: The content of this post (except the pictures) has nothing to do with B2ST's song.

Music

2011-09-25T02:29:00.000+10:00

Words make you think a thought.

Music makes you feel a feeling.

A song makes you feel a thought.

-- E.Y. Harburq

Music affects our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The rhythm that can affect our bodies so that out pulse and respiration are in time with the music's beat or rhythm.

Sad melody... by ~imetus

Listening to music can change our mood - sometimes dramatically.

YES.

It's been a cloudy day and playing slow sad music is indeed BAD because it only makes me feel DOWN.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

-- Leo Tolstoy

Random thoughts

2011-09-02T23:12:00.003+10:00

I've been having some random thoughts lately.

or maybe it's been a while but I just don't realize them.

Anyway, here's some of my random thoughts

When you see someone jogging or walking by a pond or river or water fountain, have you ever thought of pushing them into the water and see what's their reaction?

Although it's pretty obvious how they are going to react, are you not curious?

And you know what, those thriller, horror or scary movies sometimes messes up people's mind.

When you walked past some water fountain or ponds which you can't see the bottom of it or it's really dark in there, have you ever expected or wonder what if something pop out of the water?

Anything, monsters, human, animal, some weird creatures...

Really, I'm not crazy

Just some really random thoughts...

And I'm just more imaginative than some people.

HAHA

P/S: So put on your brightest SMILE!

ℒove

2011-08-13T22:36:00.000+10:00

Pleasure of ℒove lasts but a moment,

Pain of ℒove lasts a lifetime.

...Jean Pierre Claris De Florian

P/S: So, will you still love even if

the pain may lasts a lifetime

just to have that ephemeral pleasure

or you know the memories are worth it

Some people tend to hide or bend their own true feelings

for many reasons;

some might want to make others like them,

some fear of being hurt

some just want to avoid arguments or in other words, they want to keep peace

However, they hide it so often that,

at times,

they might have forgotten what their true feelings are...

P/S: I do this sometimes (in front of others), if not most of the times,

call me two-face, hypocrite but

I guess I just want to avoid arguments/conflicts

and most importantly,

to protect myself in some way.

Whether or not I have forgotten my true feelings...

I do not know.

But I do know one thing,

that is if I keep doing this,

one day I'll never be able tell what I really feels

to someone who might really wants to know

even if I know what my feelings/thoughts are (in my mind) when I am alone.

Crayons

2011-08-05T23:10:00.000+10:00

We could learn a lot from crayons;

some are sharp, some are pretty,

some are dull, while others are bright,

some have weird names,

but they all have learned

to live in the same box.

Aries (♈) Rising with Mars in the Signs

2011-08-04T19:48:00.000+10:00

(...cont. from previous post)

The sign position of Mars (the ruling planet of Aries) modifies your Aries Ascendant characteristics.

Aries Rising and Mars in Aries (♈)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is also in Aries: You are a fireball of vitality and a true warrior. Become a master of yourself and conquer your own arrogance, impatience, and anger before you go out to conquer the world or burn yourself out.

Aries Rising and Mars in Taurus (♉)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the stabilizing sign of Taurus: You have the concentrated power of a locomotive. You may start slowly but your energy steadily builds, and you can sustain your efforts over the long haul. Putting your creative fire into a concentrate form (something tangible, usable, and enduring) is an important key to living out your destiny.

Aries Rising and Mars in Gemini (♊)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in Gemini: Using the power of the word and the intellect rather than the sword is your destiny. You are easily diverted, however, and may have to learn to do many things well, rather than to speacilize. Part of living out your destiny has to do with introducing new ideas, methods, or products to others through writing or speaking.

Aries Rising and Mars in Cancer (♋)

Your ruling planet, Mars, however, is in the gentle, sensitive, and sympathetic sign of Cancer, so much of your forcefulness is softened by compassion or muted by caution. You are, and are intended to be, a strong defender of home, homeland, family, children, or the feminine. Ties to the past may inhibit you from acting as boldly as you would like, however.

Aries Rising and Mars in Leo (♌)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the fiery dramatic, rather narcissistic sign of Leo, as well. This increases your competitive drive, your need for recognition, and your will to lead. However, living for personal glory and aggrandizement alone, dominating or considering others to be less real or important than yourself, or simply burning out because you believe yourself to be invincible are definitely indicated. Dreams of power and glory inflame you, but unless you temper them with realism and compassion, you may go down in flames. If you use your passion to work a higher will, however, your life will be charged with light and meaning.

Aries Rising and Mars in Virgo (♍)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the humble, service-oriented sign of Virgo, so you are not only to lead or strike out boldly in new directions, but also to render service to others. You have a strong sense of perfectionism in your work or craft, and a strong work ethic which guides you.

Aries Rising and Mars in Libra (♎)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the social and egalitarian sign of Libra: You must act in accord with others, taking their needs and goals into account, in order to fulfill your own initiatives. Acting decisively and in harmony with your strong ideals of justice and fairness enables you to fulfill your destiny. When out of balance you tend to create adversaries and opponents in your life by your oppositional attitudes, and/or to depend too much on others' agreement in order to make your own decisions.

Aries Rising and Mars in Scorpio (♏)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in Scorpio:You are passionate, relentless, and powerfully driven to achieve your goals; you have great reserves of energy. A need to be in control and on top motivates you, which has both light and dark aspects. Beware of excessive use or misuse of sexual energies. You will encounter an intense backlash or karmic energy if you damage others. On the higher path you can direct your efforts into extraordinary achievements and/or simply live very intensely and vividly.

Aries Rising and Mars in Sagittarius (♐)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the expansive and inspirational sign of Sagittarius. You need a cause, something larger than yourself and your own immediate concerns, to really feel alive. There is a crusader in you, and this is part of your soul function - inspiring others toward an ideal or generating enthusiasm for a cause. When out of balance you can be preachy and self righteous. A need for open-ended adventure and freedom also motivates you. You need to do a lot of seeking and wide-ranging exploration in order to discover your destiny, so you may be a late bloomer. Your intuition is strong and guides you well.

Aries Rising and Mars in Capricorn (♑)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the realistic, hard working, and practical sign of Capricorn. You possess the self-control and dedication, as well as the ambition, to rise to prominence. Your soul function is to be an authority, Chief Executive, the "Boss", a position that you will most likely achieve in your middle and later years. In order to fulfill your destiny, however, you must resolve the struggle between the part of you that is impatient, impulsive and wants to be free and wholly independent, and the more conservative side of you that wants to be accepted in conventional circles and knows what it takes to do so.

Aries Rising and Mars in Aquarius (♒)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the unconventional, unorthodox, and innovative sign of Aquarius. This increases your need to be independent and do things in your own individualistic way. You break rules and question authority in order to advance into new territory. Though your personality may be somewhat abrasive and apparently selfish, you are driven by idealistic and altruistic intentions.

Aries Rising and Mars in Pisces (♓)

Your ruling planet, Mars, is in the highly sensitive, receptive, gentle sign of Pisces, however. Your emotional vulnerability as well as your compassion and empathy diffuse the forcefulness and selfishness implied above. You may vacillate between clear, decisive action and passivity, between a desire to assert yourself and get what you want versus your essentially non-aggressive and non-competitive nature. Part of your soul function has to do with defending or standing tall for the weak, disadvantaged, or under dogs, and/or acting for the good of all, with broad sympathies, rather than simply for your own good.

Ascendant in ♈ (Aries)

2011-08-04T18:59:00.000+10:00

Just a little bit 'bout horoscope/personality for this post since it's related to myself.

The Ascendant/Rising sign: Aries

The Ascendant is considered the mask one wears when meeting others. In other words, it describes the way you engage and merge with the outer world and how you bring through into life the energies depicted by the Sun, the Moon, and the rest of your birth chart. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues.

The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. This shows one's first, natural reaction to new people and situations.

Aries Ascendant

Direct and quick. Their first instinct is to do rather than think. They simply charges forward without much ado.
This position does not make a person aggressive. Forthright, yes, but aggression is too strong a word for them. They have a youthful, direct manner that sees what it wants and generally goes for it. At the same time, there isn't any malice in their intent.
Some are competitive, but generally put most of the pressure on themselves.These people love to come out ahead in all that they do. They are ready quickly, walk quickly and have little patience for dilly-dallying. Their temper is quick, too. It's also quick to disappear. Rarely do you find them holding grudges. Their mannerisms are rather simple and straightforward.
They love action, and is often trying to stir up some activity. Their strengths lie in their enterprising ways. Finishing things they start does not always come as easily, unless the ruler, Mars, is placed in a more tenacious sign, such as Taurus or Scorpio.
They often gives a rather swift walk, with the head leaning forward slightly. This walk is surprisingly distinctive. Headaches, and sinus and eye problems are the usual physical complaints of this position. Rashes and acne on the face and shoulders sometimes occur. Broad shoulders and slim hips are common. Often, these people are quick to smile, and they posses a youthful charm throughout life.
Probably early on in life, they got typecast as the 'independent' child. As adults, people with Aries Ascendants often stick to that role in life. People don't run to help them out --- they appear quite fine doing things on their own. These people have learned to be self-reliant, and this generally stems from their early experiences.
Despite a rather brusque and independent manner, they are usually very willing to compromise in their relationships, and are very attached to the people they hold dear.

In general, Aries Rising people project yourself into the world spontaneously, directly, honestly, fearlessly, audaciously, heroically. You carry the qualities of boldness, courage, and leadership, and your function is to blaze new pathways, to lead, to initiate and to do.

I will be posting Aries rising with Mars in the Signs.

P/S: Leave a comment if you want me to post other rising signs.

All great relationships

begin and end with yourself.

What do you say?

P/S: I do agree with this statement.

It is your relationship,

you (of course, and your partner) have to make it work.

Outsiders can do little to begin or end your relationship.

A dose of fear

Afraid to Love by ~LaceWingedSaby

There are people afraid of falling in love

But, have you ever what are they afraid of?

Why are they afraid to fall in love?

Well, here's what I think.

...commitment

...afraid of being hurt

...had bad experience(s) in the past

...afraid of betrayal

...not willing to give up freedom/independence YET

...afraid of what others say/think

...afraid of rejection

However afraid you are to fall in love,

you can ~~never~~ hardly control your feelings/emotions.

Those who are able to control,

well, congratulations if you really are able to

or else, you are probably lying to yourself,

denying our own feelings

You may be hoping for some fairytale/movie-alike love life

with happy endings,

But that kind of love hardly exist

even if it does, probably just a handful of relationships work that way.

P/S: You have to give love in order to receive one.

I guess the questions here are,

ARE YOU READY to give love?

ARE YOU WILLING to take a chance at love?

If you want me...
