Happy 2008!

Another year has come to an end.

Seems like the world is welcoming the new year, 2008 with wide open arms.

It's said to be a good year (We hope).

Well, we'll see.

For now, *Cheers* to everybody!

Here's a toast to 2008!

Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant

Okay, I see comments and critics out there claiming how stupid she is and that she's going to ruin her life, her career and her future because of the one 'mistake' she's done.

This is soo absurd! Whatever makes anyone of you think one who has a baby's had her future down the drain? I KNOW, and I can safely say, "Life still goes on, nonetheless." If any of you claim that having a baby, especially at a young age is the end for the mother, whatever difference does it make to women who have babies even at a later age. Yes, you may have succeeded and have better securities and all, but still, having a child isn't that easy. Shall I say I feel sorry for your parents for having you since you think having kids means throwing one's future and career away? Successful and secured or not, a mother still has to do what a mother has to do.

Yes, Jamie Lynn may be underaged, only 16. Yes, it was a 'mistake' and she's shocked and scared herself. Hey, the baby itself isn't a mistake. Besides, we shall applaud the girl for her courage and responsibility to hold accountable of her own 'mistake'. At least, she doesn't continue making mistakes or committing bigger sin by going for an abortion, which certainly isn't the best or last resort.

Think it this way. The baby may be a blessing. He/She's a Life, a Gift from Above.

My son, Nathan has brought us soo much joy. I am young (not THAT young though, HAHA!)
I tell you, it is NOT easy looking after a baby. Yes, I get tired at times, but the joy and happiness you feel from holding your baby and seeing him smile and laugh at you, words can never describe. One needs to be a mum (a good one, at least) to know what I meant.

I get people who think Aww...what a pity. What a waste. Why didn't you have an abortion? You're so young.

Look, this is MY Life. MY choice. And I'm glad all these happen.
It makes me appreciate Life itself more and strive for the better.
I still do what I do. I'm working during the day. I have classes on some evenings and weekends. I passed all my papers. At night, I look after Nathan and that includes waking to his cries for milk or nappy change or even slight discomfort.

Have I actually thrown myself and my future away?

*Smiles*

I've Got My Eyes On YOU!

YES, YOU!!!

I meant the Apple iPhone 8GB Cell Phone.

My current celly frustrates me! I think it's been trying to tell me its 'Time' is coming. -_-"

Its battery life can barely stay 'alive' for the next 24 hrs. Imagine how troublesome it is to fumble around for the charger during an important call, and it's not everytime and everywhere I get to find a powerpoint to do that. It keeps shutting itself on me! Grr~!

Heh... Not many cell phone actually really attracts me. So far, for now, I've got my eyes on you, iPhone!

Figures, if I really need one, I might as well get one which will be long-lasting.

Besides, it's so chic and slick! Just look at tis' Beauty!

Tis the Season to be Jolly...

"Fa La La La La La La La La....."
Aaarrrggghhh~! It seems as though I'm the only one 'floating' in the midst of Christmas mood!
Christmas has always been my favourite festive season out of all, since young, though there were no real White Christmases till 3 years ago, or a huge & beautifully decorated Christmas tree complete with surprise pressies underneath for me.
I don't know. I guess it's just the pleasant and warm Christmas feeling I get everytime December comes. I have always loved the fact of gathering together with my family for dinner and perhaps, a Christmas film, then awaiting the time to go for Midnight Mass. Oh, the carols & candle lights!
O wells, I'll just carol away with my Lil Nate! He gets excited just by listening to Christmas songs! Awww~

Marital Bliss

Life is not always perfect. In fact, it never is. So is a marriage. It is how you handle it and try to make it as perfect as it can be in your own world.

I have always admired my parents. Been married for over 22 years, still as sweet and loving as the first day they met. They would still call each other out for lunch during breaks from work, have long chats on the phone like any young and fresh couple whenever one's away, have every anniversary day reserved especially for the both of them- us, kids stay home. Dad never fails to give Mom praises and compliments and surprises. He always tells us, "Your Mummy's the most beautiful woman to me, even when she's old and grey." Now, Mom's undergoing Chemotherapy and Dad is going to accompany her to every single session.

Till this day, I can never recall seeing or hearing any fight or quarrel between my parents. What exactly is the secret of keeping a blissful marriage?
I have read a couple of articles that, in times of disagreement and fights, we should always bear in mind and remind ourselves the reason we fell in love with the person we are with, in the very first place. Impressive. And it is.

My husband? Well, Will made me laugh alot and I was always a happy person near him or just at the thought of him. He still makes me laugh and happy. I get to be completely myself with him and he has always been himself since we were just friends - yes, with all the flaws and few bad habits. LOL! I thought he was a nutcase for not caring if he would make a fool out of himself, but hey, that was what amused me. Yes, it is true, Guys. Girls would prefer you being your true self. So, don't try to be someone you are not. If she loves you, she should accept you for who you really are.

The sweetest thing my husband has ever done for me? Sweetest, ay? I would say Two. One, the wait and company home from my work till the wee hours every night when in the UK (not a single complaint, ever, and he even helped me clean up the workplace, making him my manager's favourite) and the piggybacks he insisted on giving me from the frontwalk, into the house and up the stairs, though I declined them- he did give them, still, anyway. Two, for staying beside me in Labour Room though he had a whole night without sleep and then guiding me in breathing and pushing properly during delivery. He almost cried when our son was born!

Communication. Good communication is vital in any relationship. Any dissatisfaction and worry, or even a happy issue, should always be shared. I have come to an agreement with Will that we should share and voice out anything that concerns one or the both of us. Said, I want to be able to talk to him openly and clear any doubt and problems calmly and I want him to feel that he could talk to me about anything as well. It has worked brilliance, indeed, ever since. If you are not a good comforter, at least be a good listener and then try your best, in your own way to make things right. It makes a heck loads of difference than choosing to shut yourself out.

Keep in contact. This does not mean that we should track down our significant other's every move. At least, say, if you are out with friends or at work and should be home late, give a call. A short one will do. It saves the other who is waiting for you at home from pointless worries. Why not try this? Surprise the other once in a blue moon with messages or short call telling he/she that he/she is in your thoughts. It will certainly make one's day. I know it does.

Most marriages these days seem far from the picture of a happy ending like most marriages back then. Perhaps this is why most people fear the 'I do's. I always remember my Dad saying that he disrespects people who commit infidelity in marriage. It is a shame for they have not only broken the promise they made to their spouse on their wedding day, but the promise they made before God. So, remember this, men and women alike.

I may have just been with my man for over 3 years and we are still 'Just Married', but I believe I have found my own marital bliss.:) I will keep this going.

Thank you, Babe, for remembering every anniversary and your effort for making the best out of each and every of our days.

I can still see the clear pictures in my mind, of old English couples we saw, hunched and on walking sticks, holding hands, and the sweetest and most touching one of all, an old husband gently pushing his old and crippled wife in a wheelchair, out and about town.

Why shouldn't every marriage last this way?

Women: Revolutionised

Understanding women.
Guys, do you ever bother to?
Personally, I've only known a couple of great male friends who actually do and have taken the heart and initiative to try and understand this so-called complicated and fragile species.
You claim that we are the weaker species. Well, generally speaking, strength-wise, we are still the weaker ones (NOT counting some *ahem* softy SHEmales tho...) So, guys who take out on their girls or wives, SHAME ON YOU!Where the hell are your balls?! Pick on someone your own size and strength!
Chivalry's DEAD. If you can find me 2 out of 10 perfect gentlemen who still sincerely care for and respect a woman and her worth, I'd LOVE to meet those two!Preeetty PLEEEASE!:D
So, what do women want?
YOU say it's a headache understanding us. How hard is it to understand the one species who likes talking things out and tries solving any problems and queries that bother them? At least we don't find connection through rounds of drinking, talking craps or football shows and games, whatever else I've left out, you name them. We COMMUNICATE. How is it possible that any problems get solved when one refuses to communicate and opts to run away from anything that bothers him until he finds his own peace and then assumes that the problems are gone. HEY, problems don't just disappear! If you run away from them, they'd only collect and build up into a huge pile of junks waiting to explode BIG TIME someday later. And when that happens, who do you blame? ALWAYS US, Females! Say we're the problem. We bug you, we bother you...yada yada yada. How fair's that?! Have you ever looked deep into yourselves and think how selfish you really are??
Okay, here's another I just don't get. A guy can have many girls and he's the man. He can even give her sweet talks and sex her off. Yet a girl can do the same and she's a whore. No doubt it's a stupid and disrespectful game of cheating, whether it's a man or a woman doing it. The table's turned. It's simple. You started it, and now it's a fair game we'd like to join in just to get even. :)
Oh no...We've long waved goodbye to being household 'pet' you keep at home to make your beds and living area clean and cozy or preparing you sumptuous meals ready on the dining table when you open the door and then serve you whenever you need us. Well, we can still do those, only that we ain't that stupid anymore. Relationship and life are about giving and taking. Yes, you say it well and enough. Try applying it then:) Thank You. Oh, in case you haven't noticed, we enjoy working our asses off, upgrading ourselves, physically, educationally and emotionally. We CAN, in fact, stand on our own two feet if one day you've decided that you've gotten bored with the one female you already have and want to stray. Go ahead. We ain't gonna suffer or threathen to kill ourselves and die. That's the most ridiculous thing to do!
You admit you're the dumber species who don't take hints. You want us to be straightforward but you can't seem to take every comment or straightforward queries we throw at you. Why? Then try to be a little more sensitive. Picture yourselves in a woman's shoes. How would you feel if we overlook your feelings. If we forget your happy and important ocassions? If we ever make you feel unappreciated or kept in the dark? How's that?
Life's never fair, they say. Most of the time, we tend to take more than we give. There needs to be a balance if there should be peace.
This piece of article's on generally gender issue. No offence on specific guys who are exceptions, or so you think. Heh:P So, guys, give a shout out about what is actually going on in your mind and heart! We think you're the complicated and hard-to-figure-out species!

20, Clueless...Not!

Okay, will be 21 this November.
For many in the old days, 20's a big number. They'd gone through alot in their lives, learnt more (about life) than we'll ever learn these days; some may had well already been married and parents to several number of children, no kidd!; work experience- well, look around and count the number of experienced businessman and tycoon you see today who were actually highly-educated then.
I'm 20, a student, and I've gone through alot in my past 1 year, especially. There were, of course, the tough times and the good ones, but it's all greaaat now!Really! Ah, well... it ain't stopping me from doing what I do and achieving my dreams, like most people would question. Why? Life still goes on and I am certainly glad that it happens:)
