Life thoughts...

"Please sir, can you help me?", this simple question could have a variety of reactions. A woman has just finished writing her these, it is 89 pages long. While walking across a pedestrian crossing, a speeding car comes round the corner causing her to be so shocked that she drops all her papers. This street is part of a metropolis filled with busy bodies who go about their way. No one notices nor cares about the fumbling young woman picking up her papers that meant everything to her. She asks a man, "Please sir, can you help me?" after realizing she couldn't possible pick up all the scattered papers by herself. Now let's just say this man is a very important and busy guy. He has so many things to think about and little time. However, he decides to stop and help the young woman. In this minor situation. which could probably happen to anyone at anytime, I believe we can see the making to revolutionizing the world today. It is in the smallest acts of kindness that we can make a difference. What would you have done had you some sort of pressing appointment and seen someone on the ground picking up papers? Would you stop and help them? Or think 'Someone else could help them, I've got more important things to do', but here's my question to anyone reading this, can you be that somone else?
-To be continued...

The previous piece you have just read was an excerpt from my essay for psychology class "making a difference", which i wanted to share with you in this blog entry. Because it shows a small piece of the puzzle of what I think and believe because I do believe that in life it's the small things that can make a difference. I sometimes get lost in thought of what we're all really doing here, its heavy to grasp that we live these lives worrying about petty things or holding significance on things that don't really matter or even losing your mind for a cause you thought was reasonable but when you come down to it, we're life forms on earth, there could be life out there, what's our purpose? So we might as well live life as best we can and do the best with what we do know. Ah yes with the quest of purpose and happiness but I won't get started otherwise I'll never stop (hehe) however, all I know is that if we can find contentment with we already have and our situations we can be so called "happy" we sometimes tend to complicate things and find flaws. If people stopped judging others and started trying to work on themselves I believe happiness will increase also. Because nothing in life is black or white one must know all sides and insights of a situation or story before they can even think of judging something.

Ahhh the greatest love letter indeed =p

Today I have come across a rather amusing love letter and I hope you enjoy it:

The Greatest Love Letter
(The kind of love letter all women would love to receive! Hehe)
Here we go...

Dearest Ms. Julie Yeh,

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in love with you since the 16th of October (Sunday). With reference to the meeting held between us on the 15th October, at 1500 hours, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover.

Our love affair would be on probation for a period of 3 months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job probation and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse.

The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However, I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister if you dont wish to take up on this once in a lifetime offer.

Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Romy Oh

Isnt it sweet? hehe

Hehehe hope u enjoy! hehehe

To Be Yours

Not the little fish..more like the "youngest" fish in the big pond called college

Heya,
well i feel like writing about university.
im 16 and im in uni. it sounds weird. i mean the average age is 18 to be in uni here but i got in early? i guess...i dont think im so intelligent, i still hate studying, even though i do it alot. I just am very ambitious that i guess i got this far.
I love debating, being an honor student and being well..known? i guess i sound shallow because im admitting i like the attention but at times yes i get it, but i work hard for it. its not easy being a go-getter all the time coz in a way everyone starts viewing you as a person who doesnt need help and have maybe over expectations.
i wrote a song called "my perfect world"
the lines...
'you see me as someone else high above the layers that lie underneath...'
and 'please god help me find myself, teach me how to be a better me coz im dying with this older version of me'
i wrote this song, coz the pressures are sometimes high, i do tend to stretch myself thin but i enjoy all of the things i get into however i just dont know how to be "normal" at times of course normal is no such things..but i cant help feeling different? i know i must sound like many other people but i do know...im not like any girl you know. im complicated. a little confused. mature. interested in the wonders of the world and so involved with life. i believe not even a second should be wasted, coz u never know what you got til its gone.
So yes im smart? i got into college, i study most nights and spend alldayers at the uni library dancing in between shelves with my ipod. i could be a party girl, like i do love parties and my family..well we're all party animals..but i dont go out much. i drink sometimes but not all the time and i can hold my drink. my friends are mostly guys and its not a sexist thing i just get along better with them or something. i have only 2 true girl friends. but im friendly to everyone and im not too picky with friends only when it comes to getting 'close'. i dont like people judging other people or me or anything they dont truly know about because how can you truly judge something you dont know all the sides of? how can you say that just because someone does something that he/she thinks this way? Hmmm...
well its 12.39 i have class at 2. Sociology. Ahh sociology. i love that class. our teacher is somewhat modern and does NOT follow the book, hes amazing teacher who loves discussing our opinions and opening our eyes to other perspectives, he drives us all crazy with his debates but in the end i know he knows he got us all thinking and in that way i think hes a good teacher. We're currently discussing the self and the different views on it through structuralism, neoevolutionism and marxism. Its a very interesting class. I love writing essays.
Oh yes, my course is a double degree - Bachelor of Business & Bachelor of Journalism.
I'm a full time student. I dont really know sometimes what im actually good at, but my favorite classes incluse music composition 12(was an extra elective) and also i love sociology and communication 15.
Lol no one reads this but i feel somewhat better letting this out.
I dont know how to make others understand.
but im not perfect, and like they say no one is...my life looks perfect and in a way it is because im contented but everyone has problems and insecurities.
i just dont know why i should be judged because of my age, age is just a number, its the experiences and thought patterns that can mature a person.
i may not have gone through as tough things as others, but i have secrets too.
lets just say i know what its like to lie in a hospital bed for days at a time fearing whats going to happen next.
hmm..
i moved to the philippines when i was 12, im nearly 17 and i dont think its fair that some people may think im too young or not ready to be in college.
So yeah, theres a piece of my mind. lol

yep i look young, but i do look my age, i dont need to look the same age as my mind? haha talk about boastful! jokes =p

Ahh
my first blog entry.
how shall i start?
well i feel like writing a little about the island life that has become ever so part of me now...though i live in the city on weekdays..i go home to the island on weekends...
so,
the temperature is just perfect, not too hot, not too cold, im not sweating, but i can feel the heat, my toes feel nice and cozy wearing socks so i guess its good weather.
the breeze comes into my room from the ocean, my hair feels sticky and smells a little salty but its not a bad feeling...it just feels...oceany? haha
im suppose to go down from my room and make cocktails for the guests arriving soon so i probably should stop writing. but can i just tell you how beautiful it is here?
i dont know how to explain it..its peaceful..its colorful..and it smells like a mixture of hibiscus, frangipanis and weirdly enough there is a row of daisies growing on the cliff side, i think wherever i go i'll carry these smells with me its sounds corny but it just makes me feel at peace.
i wish you could experience it, of course "living" in paradise is not the same as visiting paradise, its wonderful when you come and stay for few weeks at a time, but yes life goes on and there is always dust underneath a seemingly perfect coffee cup.
