2:00 p.m

As much as I try not to think or worry about my future, I honestly do. Doesn’t it give you goosebumps when you see that time is ticking and another year of your life is almost over? Lets do something people, for the world. Make a change, at least a small change. And laugh, because happiness spreads.

Adrianne & Me

Determined is not ambitious. Determined is staying focus on your goal but letting the result show up naturally. A win-lose situation. When you're ambitious, you tend to rationalize things to the extent of letting the wrong seem right. A must-win situation. Learning of the day: stay determined, people :)

Anywaaaay, playing with Adrianne before I sleep...

Good night, everyone! :)

We are citizens of the world

As much as I believe in democracy, I also believe in the wisdom of freedom.

Sketching Out Life

We laugh and we cry, but a laugh does not always signify happiness, and a tear must not always represent sadness. Things can always work the other way around, which is why I am eventually glad for being faced with so many problems. It took me a while to realize that...:)

Btw, some drawing I made in the middle of a meeting heheh...


Have a nice day, all! :)

Welcoming July

I have been so uninspiring lately…lifeless and story-less. Even when I pick up the phone and chat with my loved one, I would go on and on talking about work and all the bitter and sweet of it. Work. And why do I think about work so much? It’s a choice actually. I don’t have to if I want to, and now I know that I don’t want to.

I’m pretty much future-oriented, that as crazy and spontaneous I am in living my life, I am also very structured in building and living my career path. I know what I want, and I am determined and focus. Not ambitious, just well-planned. At present, I now feel as if I am stopping on the left lane, reaching for my map thinking whether I still wanna go to the destination I have planned to. And as I look at the map, I am surprised of how many new places there are that I haven’t been aware of. And even when I still want to reach my initial destination, there are so many new ways. There’s just, so much of life in the offing I feel like experiencing all.

Life’s very exciting, and I want to feel the thrill without being euphoric to the extent that I take pleasure in all the joy to myself. I want to share, I want others to feel happy too.

This is so random I know, but this all is what’s currently on my mind. Pretty random, yes? :D

What I wanna do in the next few months before 2010 comes:

• Stop thinking and talking so much about my work and just enjoy the days.
• Hold on to my map, experience new places without having to get lost and forget where I should be heading.
• Learn new things. Learn how to cook, to dance, to sing, to love Sharjeel wholly and to love my parents in their way, not mine.
• Make a contribution to the society. Help people in need for real and not just through giving away my clothes.
• Stay happy and young, for I am forever young.

And as I write this, I am recalling my 2009 resolutions. Lets stay on track, people. No matter how much fun we can have, we should always have a purpose of life to make ourselves worth being.


Lots of love,
Diana

Quote of the Day

"One of these days, you'll be under the covers. You'll be under the table and you'll realize that all of your days are numbered. All of them one to one hundred, all of them millions, all of them trillions...so take every moment, you know that you own them. It's all you can do, use what's been given.."

Happy monday, everyone! Life's too short to worry or complain about...enjoy! :)

Fraying edges in a pink carpet

Do you know, how it feels to act upon stupidity and regret after everything is torn? It doesn’t feel good, it leaves a hole. As I move on and move forward, I remember that everything happens for a reason, a reason that unfolds that very moment or years afterwards. And as I connect the dots, I get more confused on what image I was actually making. Nevertheless, I am grateful that I am given the sanity to realize my faults and even sense the beauty of having regrets, for I am willing to learn and improve myself from time to time. My hole is to be covered, sooner or later.

Quote of the Day

"Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere."

- Barack Obama -

Monday Release

My dreams keep on changing, but I do realize that they tend to grow bigger. I am an optimist, a believer that us humans can achieve almost anything in this world, and make change for a better world. But in order to make real dreams said, I need a companion. A partner who supports me, and hugs me for every failure and success I attain. I am tired of fighting alone, mapping out my bright future which day by day seems more surreal than real. When all my visions alter every certain day, one remains the same. I want to be with near him.

Quote of The Day

"I am often bothered by pessimistic thoughts. Not that we should be too confident, but I really think everything in life is worth a try. Though things might not work out later on, I believe that at that point of time, everything would feel different. You cannot forecast the level of happiness or sadness in the future. And you don't need to. Humans are meant to try their best and simply stay positive. God decides."

It's like building a castle of sand...you put your whole heart making it and suddenly the ocean waves washes it away.

Quote of the Day

For two people that are involved in a long distance relationship, both must always treat each other as best as possible, so each can realize why the faraway lover is worth the wait.
