BY2 - 我知道

Reommending a new song to my readers

BY2 - 我知道 (I know)

从来没想过 

不能再和你牵手 

委屈时候 

没有你陪着我心痛 

一切是我太过娇纵 

以为你会懂 

一直忘了说 

我有多感动 

我知道你还是爱着我 

虽然 

分开的理由 

我们都已接受 

你知道我会有多难过 

所以 

即使在最后 

还微笑着要我加油 

我知道你还放不下我 

才会 

在离开时闭着眼 

没有回头 

答应你我会好好过 

不让这些眼泪 

白流

The song tells the story of a couple who love each other, but never they thought that they will never hold each other's hand anymore. Which then they learnt the importance of each other's existence after accepting the reason of seperation.

This is a new song by BY2 from their 2nd released album. I'm not fond of their song, but my friend recommended me, and so I found that the lyrics coincidently reflect my feelings and emotions at this very moment, thus I would like to dedicate this song to all my readers too, and to send the message of appreciation for your love ones [romantic relationship] no matter what happen...as you won't know what will happen at the very next second.

Secrets to a Simplistic Life

Ok, so the secret in leading a simplistic life is to...........live a simple life!!!

*I know readers might want to hit me with a baseball bat or whatever weapon of opportunities*

Let me be more specific,

There are lots of ways to live a simple life, and there are alot of people who actualy know about the various methods, but they are so caught up with complicated stuff in life, which sometimes, they just have no choice but to do it such way, that they eventually forget the meaning of the word - Simple.

What's the most simplistic way of defining simple?

Simple = Not complicated (ncbf, 2009)

*okok don't punch me* It's TRUE, as long as something is complicated, then you know that you're not doing something in a simple way. Let me provide you readers with some simple "secrets" to make your life simpler, so that you would not see and feel so much pimples on your face, or eyebags under your eyes, or even wrinkles and white hair - signs of AGING!!!

There are alot of sites that provide the same tips, but I'm going to filter some of them that are not practical in reality (e.g. resign from something you're not passionate about [where comes the money if you do not work in such economic crisis?])

1. Stop trying to be perfect as long as you know how to improve (no comment for perfectionists)

2. Clean out your collections (i.e. books, cds, dvds, etc.) and keep only the items you love.

3. Clean your purse/wallet

4. Create a filing system that you can stick to

5. Set one good goal, and go achieve it

6. As long as you are able to finish a task by deadline, you do not need to follow a fixed schedule if you do not want to.

7. Try your best not to multitask

8. Constantly recall positive memories

9. When you are not in a positive mood, express it (in your private space lar...) or eat something sweet (i.e. candy, chocolate, etc.)

8. And the most of all, BE YOURSELF, BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART whenever you have the chance!!!It's the least you can do to reward youself.

This is my recomendation of living a simple life, it might be complicated for someone else. However, it's worth a try, you won't die trying anyway  =p

Dedicating a song to all my readers out there who's living a simple and happy life, and for those who are still trying, all the best!!!

Mask | Reality

A mask is a subjective, virtual tool that are used by almost everyone in this world, as a shield, an armor, sometimes, even a weapon, to protect them selves from the cruel world of reality.

What do we know about reality? It realy depends on how we perceive it, it can be beneficial, yet, always a coin is 2 sided. If reality is not perceived negatively, then why a "mask" existed in the 1st place?

For instance, let's take a situation from the aspect of romance. 

Situation: You are going after someone, yet that someone rejected you for few reasons. Be it, you're too ugly, or you're just not the right one for him/her. You were devastated (i.e. if you realy love that person that is). Now let's see what two perspective the person can take to change his/her life

Optimistic about reality: "Maybe she's not the right one for me...; I'm not right up to her expectations yet, I'll do better next time..."

Consequence: The person might eventually learn from the lesson and be a better person in the future OR move on with his/her life...

Pessimistic about reality: "Reality is cruel, why does he/she wanting to be with me, am I too ugly? stupid? idiotic? I feel like I'm the worse person in the world to exist, being in this world is a waste..."

Consequence: Drop in self-esteem, self-perception, lost of identity...etc. Some even commit suicide!!!

See the big difference in consequences between a person who perceive reality positively and another one perceiving it negatively? Understand why people wear masks now? Reality sucks, but yet it is a useful asset in your life, if you know the way of manipulating it to your own use, and to use the right method to do it (i.e. methods that does not hurt yourself - MASK).

Flash back to two years ago when "I welcomed myself into reality", or rather, reality sucked me in, where...events and events, negative ones of majority, taught me what reality is about, at least a small part of it. The learning process is a pain-in-the-ass I must say, yet it prepared me to face my future, where things can be much much worse then what I'm facing now.

Friends taught me a lot, you and you and you changed me a lot too, all of you helped me face reality. Don't get the wrong meaning, I'm not blaming any of you for anything, nor being sarcastic. What I want to say is that, wearing a mask is tiring I know, again, it's a sacrifice to make if me or anyone of you reading this would like to protect yourself rather than stripped naked and being vulnerable to anything in this world,unless there are any other ways you found which is better than putting on a fake self, DO TELL ME!!!Sharing is Caring =p

But what I think most important is, a person who wears a mask, must try to find some people or even only an individual who you can totally shed off your mask and be your true self, where you can take a break from the heavy weight of the mask. And this will be the person you trust most, love most, and would like to share your story with him/her the most.

As for me, I've found such person where I can be myself. On the other hand, I'm trying hard to be such person for someone too, hopefully one day, I'll be the one taking down her mask, for her to take a break from reality, and for her to be your true self. 

I rather accept failure than giving up on you, you and you, why should I even think of it, when my heart never did so...

"Reality is just a scene, a situation.

No matter what changes it brings,

It is you who is in control of such changes,

by taking charge of its process..."

Note: No names will be disclosed, if anybody is wondering who are those "you/your, etc", sorry but I will not satisfy your curiosity.
