Happy Birthday to Me

2012 started off with new friends, new connections, new lessons, new travels and activities. I couldn’t be more blessed. One inspiring book I read right before my birthday titled Aleph from Paulo Coehlo talked about discovering passion, following your dreams, and most important of all, forgiving not only people around you but yourself.

So 2012, you and I have a lot of discoveries to do and lots of loving too :) Another year has passed, I can’t believe I am 27 today. Hope that all that hard work at the gym will shred years off my face though. I can’t be more thankful enough for my friends in Singapore, without them this city is nothing but just a city.

And before I forget, happy birthday Bob Marley, your lyrics are inspiration and attitude of my life.

Purpose of People

Lately I have been thinking a lot about people that came into my life. Some who disappoint me greatly, some who takes advantage of a friendship meant to be valued. Some that came into my life and took a piece of my heart with them.

With many questions why in my head and a flash back of memories with the ‘some,’ involved, I had an epiphany. Something very simple yet it all makes sense. These people are meant to come in my life, all of them with different purposes.

Some taught me that I shouldn’t trust so easily. Some taught me that I shouldn’t put myself there for people to take advantage of me because they can only do it when I let it. Some taught me to we can create new habits, change our lifestyle, but with the same attitude, we will still be the same person no matter what.

With the thought that they all came into my life, probably your life too, for a reason, I stopped thinking. I decided, perhaps it’s the best thing that I have the opportunity to encounter so many people who in a way, are like a life tutor and I am my own solver.

Life, got to love it.
