Choices in life

It is as if I am watching a movie. Except that this time, it is not a movie. It is real life experience. Just when you thought that you have had your life finally paved out, a sudden turn of events hits you right in your face and you just have to re-shape your course of life again.

You do not want to be caught in a situation where you have to make a choice and especially when the choices laid in front of you seems to be a losing end either way. What would you do? I was asked this question - "what would you have done if you were me". Well, I can only imagine being in the situation but I cannot feel for sure how the situation is like - since physically and emotional - I am not in the situation. So it is not right to tell what I would do for sure.

I can only say that there is no right choice nor wrong choice. It is just a choice that one has to make - you gotta do what you gotta do. In a situation like this, you have to think of yourself sometimes, what makes you happy. To me, the most important thing in life is to be happy. And happiness is the choice of your mind. It may be most difficult to comprehend when you are in a state of depression - that you can actually determine your own happiness just by changing the way you think.

It is easier said than done. I, for sure knows that it takes a great strength to pick yourself up after a great fall, but I do know that if you can raise above all life's adversity, you will be the one who can one day proudly says that you have live life to the fullest!

Pain

When you are in pain, it is only normal for you to want to inflict pain on the person who has pained you. So I can totally understand her actions. Pain causes her to react in a manner that is so irrational, which is probably so not her. But her heart feels like a million razor cutting, slicing and stabbing at her. So she lost her rational sense.

I am a woman and I understand her pain. I cannot feel her pain, I can only imagine it from past experiences. It is the kind of feeling that none of us would want to go through. For something dear to her is no longer there and to a certain extent, has turned against her. Of course there is no such thing as one person's fault - in fact, sometimes is nobody's fault - it is sometimes just a situation that changes in time and soon enough, you realised too late that the feeling and emotion is gone.

When I see happy couple, it makes me happy. I think that if one is able to find their mate it is indeed happiness and even more so if the mate turns out to be the soul mate. To me there is no perfection - where human is concern, there is no such thing as perfection. But perfection is something that we perceived to be. If we choose to see only the virtue of a person, then there is perfection.

My tribute to Michael Jackson

MJ has passed on for a quite a while now. I have refused to watch his memorial video. Yes, I have been in denial and I gathered that if I did not watch then I would not feel his lost. Finding some time, I watched it on You Tube and it got me in tears. It hit me that the world has lost a great figure, a legend.

I have been a fan of MJ since his Beat It days. What captures my heart about him was his talent especially his dance moves. I remembered during the 80's, me and my schoolmates were so into him that we learned his moves and danced in school concerts. Of course we are only able to do a somewhat simple moves.

I still remembered when Michael acted in the movie Smooth Criminal. All the while, we only get to see him dance and sing but in that movie, it was the first time we saw him talked and laughed. He got the most charming and as what Brooke Shield says during the memorial tribute - the purest laughter.

I can't help but to feel that the world has lost a great person. I know that I will remember him as a legend for a long time. RIP Michael.
