" is a photodiary I've decided to initiate, compiling day to day events with a snapshot of a moment of the day.
snapshot of a minute in my life, that caught my eye, with a caption of sorts, either explaining the picture or describing my emotions.
I have been told that I never really open up myself to others, and more often than not, I leave people wondering what I truly feel or giving them confusing signals.
Thus, this photodiary, is in a sense, a window to my head.
All my thoughts, my emotions, everything I usually keep out-of-sight, will be put under here, other then my regular blog posts, which are usually not very informative.
Welcome, to the chaos and mess in my head.
I hope you'd find something that speaks to you, whether to pull you through something difficult, or to relate to.
Hey Charlie
Tuesday, 28 May 2013
Hey Charlie,
Do you know what sounds good?
Us, in a cafe, having breakfast.
Ham and sunny-side-ups, bacon and toast with jam.
Watching the world waking up.
Hey Charlie,
Do you know what sounds good?
Us, at the theme park, running around.
Roller coasters and theme shows.
Eating junk food as we go along.
Hey Charlie,
Do you know what sounds good?
Us, in bed, on a rainy day.
With hot chocolate and a good movie,
Curled up under the covers.
Hey Charlie,
Do you know what sounds good?
Us, on the beach, lazing in a hammock.
Sipping ice lemon teas, reading a good book.
Watching the sun set.
Hey Charlie,
Do you know what?
Sam misses you.
Everything she does reminds her of you.
Come home soon, Charlie.

Of Principles and Men
Tuesday, 21 May 2013
It always humbles me and touches me deeply when my male friends stand up and defend my honour.
It's not that they don't know that I can't fight my own battles.
They've watched me single-handedly win many fights without them.
They know that I'm one hell of a strong-minded, independent lady, who can deal with anything that is thrown at me.
Some have been chewed up and spat out by me even.
And yet, when other men insult me and attack me (verbally or physically), they get angry on my behalf.
It's not that they don't know or don't believe that I can't fight such battles on my own.
But rather, they were all brought up on one simple rule:
No matter how strong and independent a woman is, she is still a woman.
And it is their duty to protect them from men who really shouldn't be called men.
I am greatly honoured and incredibly blessed to have met such great male friends.
I suppose they are why I understand that not all guys are douchebags and I continue to have faith that love really exists.
It is only some who have no principles or integrity.
And they aren't really men anyway.
I suppose you could argue that this pushes back the feminist movement and some would even complain about how we don't need men to fight any battles for us.
I say, to each her own.
I like my man to understand that I am not a fragile piece of glass.
I can fight my own battles and win my own wars.
But I like my man to also know that because I am a lady, physically, I will always be weak.
That can never be helped.
And that is where and when I appreciate him stepping in.
And step in, without the arrogance (i.e. "Oh see? You actually can't do it).
But rather step in, knowing that that is his job and responsibility as a man.
I think a really really good example (just to give a clearer view) are two scenes from The Avengers movie. During the final battle between Loki and The Avengers, there was a scene where the Hulk stops this big-ass worm Chitauri and the Iron Man fires a missile at it, causing it to explode. Captain America immediately shields the Black Widow from the blast with his shield.
But as you continue on, the Black Widow decides to try and figure out how to close the wormhole while the rest continue to fight. Captain America doesn't stop her from doing so and instead trusts her abilities as a fellow member of the team and lets her go. (Is there any wonder why I'm crazy over him?)
That's what I believe a man should be like.
But then again, to each her own I suppose.

Many Factors but One Reason
Monday, 6 May 2013
There will and always be one reason why people get together.
Love.
They fall in love.
They stay together because they stay in love.
They learn to love each other, flaws and imperfection and all.
But how they fell in love and stay in love has many contributing factors.
Maybe they have many things in common.
Maybe they have a common goal.
Maybe they feel they suit each others' characters.
Maybe they've spent too much time together and feelings grow.
Maybe they've been through the good times and bad together.
Maybe he or she did something that touched the other person's heart.
Maybe they just wanted to prove everyone else wrong.
Contributing factors.
Likewise, there will always be one reason why people break up.
Lost love.
They fall out of love.
They stop trying to stay in love.
They stop learning to love each others' flaws and imperfections.
Why they stop however, also has many contributing factors.
Maybe one or both parties change.
Maybe that common goal became not so common anymore.
Maybe they realised their characters were too different to suit each other.
Maybe they've spent too much time together and sparks fade.
Maybe they couldn't overcome the bad times together and couldn't remember the good either.
Maybe they stopped trying to reach each others' hearts.
Maybe they became selfish and put their own wants and needs first.
Contributing factors.
