Life is beautiful, be positive!

If you read my previous blog posts, you will know that I am having my semester break right now.
It feels so good to unwind myself and relax without needing to stress about studies and assignments.
I am trying to build up my positive momentum during my holiday.

What I did:
I express my gratitude everyday for everything good or bad that has happened.
I learn to look at things in different perspectives.
I try to accept the way that I am including the way that I look or act.
Did some reading on "you can heal your life" by Louise L.Hay.

I am not sure why, but I feel extremely happy and have this realization that everything around me is so wonderful.
The sky, the room that I live in, the people that I meet everyday and how wonderful that I can share my thoughts with others using my blog. Don't you think life is beautiful ?

And by the way, yesterday I don't think any of my friends rejected me, it's me who rejected myself.
Haha it's funny how everything bad that happens can become positive the moment you change your perspective and look at it on the bright side.

Life gets more and more beautiful each day.
Keep the positive momentum going.

Friends rejected invitation

It's a super awful feeling to invite your friends out and almost all of them said no.
Today I was supposed to hang out with 5 of my friends together, but in the end 3 of them said no.
And left one of them is still free to hang out.
However, the plan didn't work out.
The last one person that is free don't have transport for a sudden. Not really sure why, but I think many of them are excuses.
I instantly feel very bad and kinda rejected on some level. I know they are all busy or having their own personal reasons, but they should have arrange another time for us to get along if they really wanted to hang out.

Okay. I am going to accept that I am feeling sad. But I will not allow it to last too long.
After all, I still have myself and I can do all the things that I love.
I was so happy yesterday thinking that today would be a fun day to go out. But it turns out to another day where I can just get myself entertain through Internet or maybe do some reading.

Finals are over. :D holiday starts!

I just finish my final exams today.
Whoo, gonna really enjoy myself for this one month holiday before next semester starts.
I am going to come out with a list that I want to do, so that I can spend my holiday wisely.
I don't want to rot at home! I wanna enjoy life and have fun!

But a few things that I would like do that are already in my mind now are: (Some things listed here are boring to some people, but don't judge me, haha)

  1. Half day meditation,
  2. Pylometrics/ workout to build up my body
  3. Some yoga pose. I am planning to increase my flexibility before I get old and get all stiff up around my joints. Maybe I can grow taller by about 0.3cm if I stretch more often. :P
  4. Going out with friends 
  5. Karaoke which is a must to release all those post exam stress. 
  6. More self improvement to be done
  7. Volunteering for any event 
  8. Write more interesting blog post 
  9. Dance. Turn on some Kpop music and dance like there is no tomorrow.
  10. Go jogging or have a walk around the park 
  11. Watch some movies like How to train your dragon 2 and X-men. 
  12. Watch more YouTube videos to learn how to be a fun person. (ps: I am too serious like every second of my life, need to learn to take life less seriously and have fun)  
  13. Read some books. 
  14. Go to the beach and build a sandcastle.
  15. Learn how to cook. This is the thing that interested me the least, but a man gotta learn how to cook. Because I am sure girls love boys who can be in the kitchen with them.
  16. Learn some quotes to allow me to have a more positive mindset about life. 
  17. Positive reflection. 
  18. Acting. 
  19. Sleep early and wake up really early to enjoy the morning sun. 
  20. Smile more
  21. Love more
  22. Endless..


Whenever it is holiday, there is just so much things that I wanted to do.
Anyway the first thing I want to do now is sleep to repay all those sleep debt that I have accumulated during my exam period.
Bye. Goodnight.

I bet whoever that is reading this right now would have better idea of how to spend the holiday in a more enjoyable way.
Erm. Can share some tips with me how you guys spend your holiday?

Happiness, a choice.

I am trying my best not to rely on others for my happiness.
Because
we all are responsible for our own feelings. And we never know who will leave us.
Some people may seem like they will be forever with us. But no one can guarantee "forever"!

Nothing in this world can allow us to be happy, unless we want to.
It is the same with comedy shows. Some people can laugh like crazy and have a good time laughing out loud, others can just show a boring face while watching the comedy.
Happiness as you see it in this example, it is a choice!

I remember how I used to feel sad and I made those around me feel bad too.
They can do nothing for me, because I have chosen to be sad.
It's okay to feel sad since we are human and there can be problems in our life that are hard to deal with. But we need to keep on going, no matter how hard a problems seem to be at that time.
It does get better over time !
And know this, others are not responsible for our sadness.
We may put the blame on others, saying that they ignore us, reject us or scold us.
But here is another quote: "no one can make you feel inferior without your own consent."

The moment we seek happiness by depending on others opinions or companionship, we suffer.
The moment we feel happy within ourselves. It doesn't matter how others treat us anymore.

Do you care how others react to you?

Sometimes we care so much about what others think that it just makes our life less interesting.
We don't say what we want to say just because we think it is stupid or maybe no one will respond to us and we might feel rejected.
It is a really sad feeling to live our life following the norm.
We can actually be doing things differently. Maybe wearing the clothes that you personally think is something a model would wear. Yeah, others might judge you. But that's just because you are living your life. When your life is fascinating, there will be people out there that tries to judge you to make your life less fascinating. They are jealous because deep inside! they want to do the same too.
Seriously,
Don't do this or that because of others doing the same.
I know I might sound like a positive motivational speaker, but it really is important that we know we are all special and unique in our very own way.

We are all beautiful people inside and out and don't let anyone tell you any different.

I saw a post about psychology in Facebook saying that if you get rejected, it is the same feeling as getting hurt physically. I am no scientist or researcher, but search it up, there is evidence and a study done about it.
But despite the fact that it hurts a lot, I think rejection is not something that we should worry about, it is our feelings that we should be caring more about.
So what if we get rejected if we do the things we want?
At least we are happy after we do what we want.

If we go for a job interview for a job that we are very passionate about and we don't get it, so what? Try another one. Maybe there are other job offers that are far better than the one you did not get.

If we talk about a topic of our interest or maybe we think it is a topic that might interest others, but no one bother you. So what?
It is not your problem. It is the person that you are together with. They have the freedom to do whatever they want. It is their choice to choose to respond or not. And we have no power to make them respond the way we want.
And believe me, I don't think there is anyone that is able to create a topic that is interesting enough to attract everyone's attention. We all have different interest.

If we smile to others, they just show us a weird look or ignore us like they didn't even see us.so what?
Just continue to smile to others and ignore those that ignore you. You will eventually find someone that smiles back! And you might make a new friend or something more than that!

At the end of the day, it is your life. Live it the way you like. :)

Exams. Destress?

Sometimes exam can drive people mad.
I am having finals throughout this whole week and another two days next week.
It's 7days long. I am dehydrated, tired, hungry, stressed out because of my brain is working the whole day trying to process and absorb all the information from the lecture notes.
But I must really say thanks to the creator of music. Those soft music helps to release stress by a lot.
And besides listening to music, when I am stressed nowadays, I would try a 5minute meditation just focusing on my breathing, dance for 3minutes, do some stretching exercise such as squatting for maybe 30reps to increase blood circulation to help with my study!!

I know some people would say that it is already so stressful, how on earth can I make time for these stress releasing techniques. I was one of those people.
But now.. Everything has changed, hahaa. I would take 1hour to relax myself even though I have exam the next day. After relaxing, I find that I can study faster.

So next time when you are stressed out, try some relaxation techniques.
What you need is only 5minutes. Any relaxation techniques that suit you.
It can be as simple as doing yoga's corpse pose and totally relax by listening a calm and soft music.
Watching a 5minute YouTube video. Or just try laughter yoga if you don't mind to feel a little silly. :)

good friends. ;)

You know you got yourself a best friend when you feel happy with that person and you don't need to talk too often with that person and still feel the connection.

I am really grateful that I found myself a few good friends.
Time will prove everything, including relationship and friendships.
Some friends can get bored of you, don't find any value from being your friend and leave you to find new friends.

But best friends are those that can get bored of each others and can still feel happy being around with each other.
They may leave you for a while. And they will come back sooner or later to ask how have you been.

No words are needed. Just a facial eexpression or some eye contact. N you know what the other person is thinking about. That's how best friends or maybe couples communicate.

I once was very concerned about not having a lot of friends.
However, I think a few good friends that really care for you are better than having a lot of friends that are just being with you for fun and laughter only.
