Happiness

"Happy"

"Possessions, they don't mean that much It rains and they just turn to rust
and we all, we all turn to dust
In the end, in the end

All the stars above don't mean a thing
And I don't care about fortune and fame
All the gold can stay lost
In the bottom of the deep blue sea
It don't matter much to me
I just wanna be happy

Hey. Lets be honest
Love's the only dream
That we all want, that everybody needs
Life's a train, it don't turn back
It's how you love, not what you have
In the end, oh in the end

All the stars above don't mean a thing
And I don't care about fortune and fame
All the gold can stay lost
In the bottom of the deep blue sea
It don't matter much to me
I just wanna be happy

And the sun's gonna come up
And the sky's gonna look down
And we're all gonna keep
Spinnin' round and round

All the stars above don't mean a thing
And I don't care about fortune and fame
All the gold can stay lost In the bottom of the deep blue sea
It don't matter much to me
I just wanna be happy

Just believe...

Everything happens for a reason, what’s supposed to happen will happen… if things don’t go your way, it can be stressful, painful, and hard, but you don’t always have to be in control. It’s all just a part of the grand scheme of things. Don’t let your emotions cloud your vision. Don’t ever fail to see the bigger picture.

You may not understand why things are happening the way they are, but soon enough you’ll know. No matter what your problem is, big or small, it usually entails a portion of your heart getting broken. Sometimes, it’s only a bruise, sometimes it feels like it’s shattered into a million pieces. When dealing with a broken heart, it can be devastating and utterly painful, but sometimes it is just God’s way of calling you back to him, to make you grow as a person, or maybe you have to experience that to pave the way for something much better.

When overcome with hurt and confusion, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. You tend to focus on the present, and feel the enormity of your problem, you feel like you’ve got the biggest problem in the world, and you feel alone and don’t know what to do. And most often than not, you feel the tendency to take matters into your own hands.

You tend to do things and you do everything you can to control the situation. And then when things don’t go according to what you planned, you’ll get frustrated and bitter. You don’t realize, that no matter how you try to control things your way, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not going to happen. Everything happens for a reason. If you refuse to accept it and force it, you’re only prolonging the inevitable. You’ll only delay God’s true plan for you…

He has a plan for you if only you learn to be open and let go of the things that he wants you to let go of. So, stop manipulating things. A solution that is manipulated will not bring real happiness. Problems will always be a part of life, and at times when you’re down, when you’re at your lowest point, talk to God. If you ask sincerely, he will enlighten you, clear your confusion, ease your pain, calm your fears, and heal your heart.

It’s not going to provide you an instant solution to your problem, but God works in mysterious ways, and as long as you walk with Him, and just trust and believe, the sooner you’ll get to that place where you’ll see everything clearly, and you’ll finally begin to understand. Everything happens for a reason. You may not understand the reason now, but you will when the time is right.

"Life Baggages"

Check Your Baggage

We all have a past, our journey of experiences and events good and bad that have help to make up who we are, our back story and our personal baggage. The thing about baggage is that we all have it, but we all carry it around differently. Some of us choose to carry more of it than others, and some people travel light. It is usually the more negative of our baggage that we choose to display proudly for the world to see. We allow the negative baggage to continuously affect our life personally and professionally, which leads to more baggage.

The thing is we have all had some unfortunate thing happen to us, but we are not the first or the last person that something we consider unpleasant is going to happen to, and it is unfair for us to tote our baggage around continuously expecting everyone in our life to be a Bellmen. The worst thing about baggage is that as we collect it, and collect it , that we sometimes have so much baggage that we don’t realize how it is affecting our relationships and how our baggage has begun taking up so much room that it is crowding people out of our life.

Without challenges there cannot be growth. Experiences are just that - experiences. No matter how unpleasant, uncomfortable or negative any experience may seem if you can open your heart and mind to finding the blessings and the lessons that the experience has brought to your life you will be able to continue on your journey with a much lighter load and more room for the good experiences life has to offer.

is your baggage in the way???

"Five Ways to Welcome Change"

Ways to Welcome Change

The architect is a man who synthesizes, but he does not yet possess the wisdom and infinite intuition of the angels, who alone are capable of building a cathedral without planning ahead.

By Elizabeth Lesser

Raise your hand if you've had a crazy year with lots of changes--good, bad, or otherwise. OK! Just as I thought; we're all in this together. The most difficult change I've been dealing with is my sister's cancer diagnosis and treatment. Sitting by her bed in the oncology unit the other day, I came across words by the great Sufi master, Hazrat Inayat Khan: "Walking on the turning wheel of the earth, living under the ever-rotating sun, man expects a peaceful life."

Reading them, I had an a-ha moment--I let go of demanding that life be predictable, easy, peaceful. Such a relief! I decided to make my New Year's resolution be about welcoming change with a willing heart. If you want to join me in this, here are some helpful ways to proceed.

Expect Change

Since we live in a changing universe, expect change. Good change, difficult change, destructive change, transformative change.

Make Friends With Change

Try not to fight change. Make unconditional friendship with it, in whatever form it arrives.

Relax Into the Mystery

There is so much more to this life than we can ever understand through our tiny brains and fearful hearts.

So in times of big change, it's good to be gentle and kind and patient with yourself. And to relax. The best peacemakers are those who are at peace with themselves.

Receive Change's Message

Be still and listen deeply for the truth that is carried on its winds--information about the past, wisdom about the present, and direction for the future.

Come Alive

Join forces with the dynamic flow of life. The African-American theologian Howard Thurman said: "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive."

And so, as the old year changes into the New Year, ask what makes you come alive, and then go do it--for your own sake, and in service of the greater good.

"Live Life To The Fullest"

The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.


The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime!
It is never too late to become what you might have
been.


Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love
the people who treat you right. Forget about the
one's who don't. Believe everything happens for
a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with!
both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody
said life would be easy, they just promised it
would be worth it.

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go,
you might not get them back. Sometimes we
get so busy with our own lives and problems
that we may not even notice that we've let
them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught
up in who's right and who's wrong that we
forget what's right and wrong.

Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship
means until it is too late. I don't want to
let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to
my heart so I never lose you.

Simple Steps to Increase Your Life Expectancy

Go Outside for a Longer Life Expectancy

Life expectancy can be increased with simple steps and changes. This guide will help you find ways to increase your life expectancy and improve your health and feel great as you age. Let's start with the easiest: increase your life expectancy with sunlight.

Life expectancy can be increased simply by going outside. See, what happens when you go outside is that your skin gets exposed to sunlight. That exposure triggers cells in your skin to produce Vitamin D. This vitamin (really a prohormone, but let's not worry about that here) is essential for bone health and is turning out to be important in depression, heart disease, diabetes and just about everything.

Some estimate that 50% of adults have low levels of vitamin D, because we simply don't get outside that much (sitting by a window doesn't count, the glass filters too much of the sunlight). This is a shame, because maintaining vitamin D levels has to be the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health and increase your life expectancy. Getting outside for just 15 minutes a day and exposing your hands and face to sunlight is enough to maintain vitamin D levels in most cases.

If you are concerned about your vitamin D levels, your doctor can order a simple blood test that will tell you if your levels are low. If for some reason you can't get outside enough, there are vitamin D supplements that you can take (but getting outside is a better option, if you can).

Elderly people need to pay special attention to their vitamin D levels. If you are a caregiver, be sure to assist your loved one in getting outside just a little bit every day. Not only will with improve vitamin D levels, but it could also improve sleep because sunlight also regulates another hormone in the body called melatonin that controls your sleep cycle.

Life Expectancy Increased by Hanging Out

Life expectancy can be increased by just hanging out with your friends and family. The more connected someone is, the better their overall health. Having positive relationships with a spouse, friends and family is the best way to be connected.

We are not sure why relati

onships play a role in health and life expectancy. It could be that people in positive relationships are less likely to take on risky behaviors and are more likely to take care of themselves. It could be that having people around you reduces the impact of stress on your health. We can make up lots of theories about why relationships have a positive impact, but the bottom line is that people who are engaged in "meaningful" relationships have better health (and therefore better life expectancies).

One way of improving your relationships with people is to get in the habit of telling good stories. Stories are how we communicate with one another, and telling a good story strengthens communications. I can't count the number of times I've been on the phone with someone and was just talking about the weather or giving a dry update on my family. Instead, I should be telling a story about a funny thing my kids did or something crazy that happened at work. Stories keep relationships alive.

So make more time for friends and family. Go do things together (create stories together), and make a real effort to improve your communication with them (whether by e-mail, phone or in person) by having a good story always ready for the telling.

Exercise

Improve your life expectancy with a commitment to daily exercise. Why daily? Well, after carefully considering all the research and exercise recommendations out there and knowing a bit about how people form habits, I have to conclude that a daily exercise commitment is a great way to improve your life expectancy, your health and your energy level. Here's why:

A study showed that people who exercise vigorously for around 3 hours a week had DNA and cells that were 9 years younger than nonexercisers. Three hours a week is a little more than 30 minutes a day.

Forget the study, though. What I know (from personal experience and from observing others) is that if you go more than 2 days without exercising, you are at a grave danger of quitting your routine. Somehow it is w

ay too easy to slip from three days of nonexercise to three weeks of nonexercise to three months of nonexercise. The easiest way to create an exercise habit is daily repetition. When you promise yourself to exercise daily, you may skip a day but then get back on the program the following day. If you are exercising three times a week and, say, skip Friday, then you would have gone from Wednesday to Monday without exercising - a total of 4 days with no exercise (very dangerous, from a habit-building perspective). For life expectancy, it is more important that you e

xercise year after year than go through fits and starts of intense exercise followed by no exercise.

The other reason I feel that daily exercise is important, is that daily exercise will help

improve your sleep and your energy level. It is important to just rev up your whole body

each day. Remember, daily exercise doesn't have to mean going to the gym every day. Home exercises, such as yoga, stretching, free weights and more, can be incredibly effective.

Floss Daily for a Longer Life Expectancy

The fact that flossing daily can extend life expectancy falls in the weird-but-true category. In fact, floss does two things: it prevents gum disease (that's rather obvious), and it prevents heart disease (not so obvious). Preventing both of these together is what adds years to your life. Here's how flossing imp roves life expectancy:

When you floss, you help prevent your g

ums from becoming inflamed. That's a good thing. What is happening when your gums are inflamed is

that you have a chronic bacterial infection in your mouth. This harms your arteries through two mechanisms: the bacteria find their way in to your arteries and hang out (causing plaques), and your body mounts an immune response to the bacteria in your mouth, causing inflammation (which in turn can cause your arteries to narrow). This makes it hard for your heart to do its job and can lead to heart disease.

There is some debate about how many years you can gain with heart disease. Dr. Perls says 1.5 years, while Dr. Roizen says 6 years. Both of these doctors are gerontologists (aging docs) and have popular books on aging and life expectancy (see reviews: Living To 100, RealAge

and You! Staying Young). Who is right? It doesn't matter. Flossing is good for your gums and good for your heart, so we should all just do it.

Of course, this is easier said t

han done. How do you get in to a solid flossing habit? First, you need to make sure you have some floss. There are tons of different kinds of floss (flavored, unflavored, strings, ribbons and on and on). Pick some and give them a try. Next, you have to remember. Put your floss on top of your toothpaste. Har

d to forget that way. Then just do it. You already have a habit of brushing your teeth at least twice daily (right? - please say yes), so just anchor your flossing habit to that.

More Sex for a Longer Life Expectancy

Your life expectancy may be increased through having more sex. In fact, in one study, men with a high frequency of orgasms showed a 50% redu ction in mortality. This is good news, especially because issues around sex and aging are being taken more and more seriously by the medical community.

Why sex should be linked to life expectancy is something of a mystery. Of course, it could be that healthier people are more likely to have more sex and that the findings linking sex to life expectancy are reflecting this, but I think there is more

to it. We have seen elsewhere that having good relationships and being positive are linked to longer life expectancies. Maybe sex is a market for good, positive relationships. Of course, there could be a direct health benefit as well:

sex triggers all sorts of endorphins and hormones in the body. Maybe these help with healthy aging and increasing life expectancy.

But who really cares about the reason? The simple fact is that having more sex is healthy. Here's a few links to help deal with any age-related sex problems that may come up:

Sex Tips for the Older Woman - Sex Tips for the Older Man

Be Like A Vegetarian for Your Life Expectancy

Life expectancy c an be linked to three factors that vegetarians excel at: fewer bad fats, more antioxidants and lower weight. Before we go in to how being a vegetarian can help your life expectancy, though, we have to define what we mean by vegetarian.

There are some vegetarians who are "junk food vegetarians." These types of vegetarians eat cheese pizzas and ice cream all day long. That is not good for health or life expectancy. What we mean is the person who is eating lots of vegetables prepared in healthy fats (such as olive oil) while limiting animal products, such as cheese and cream. We'll call this type

of vegetarian a

"whole foods vegetarian."

• The leading cause of death and the number one shortener of life expectancy in the U.S. is heart disease. As your heart ages, there can be a build of gunk in your arteries and your arteries themselves can become harder (see heart aging for more information). This causes your blood pressure to rise and your he art to work harder, leaving you at risk for heart disease. Vegetarians (whole foods vegetarians) have some of the best arteries around because eating healthy vegetables avoids bad fats and other unhealthy foods.
• People who eat lots of vegetables take in lots of antioxidants. Antioxidants help your body repair some of the damage caused by aging. The more plants you eat (and the greater variety) the more raw materials your bod has to make repairs. Read more on antioxidants and their evil counterpart, free radicals.
• Finally, vegetables simply fill you up with very few calories (if prepared without creams, butter or cheese). A healthy vegetarian diet should help maintain or lose weight. A healthy weight is tied to a longer life expectancy.

So be more like a vegetarian to increase your life expectancy and live healthier.

Distress for a Longer Life Expectancy

Stress has been linked to dozens of health conditions, including the "big ones," such as heart disease or cancer. Stress has also been linked (no surprise) to feeling irritable and not sleeping well. By focusing on stress, you can improve your quality of life right now while improving your long-term health and life expectancy too. That's a pretty good deal.

You can distress through a wide range of stress factors.These behaviors includes comfort of eating & smoking.Learn to relax through distressing techniques or meditation to keep your life expectancy up where it should be.

My other more long-term stress reduction techniques. My personal favorite is called the "relaxation response." This is a scientifically proven breathing technique that will help train your body how to responsed to the stressful events in your life.

Another effective relaxation technique is meditation. By learning how to meditate, you not only calm your body, but you begin to train your mind. This is great for mental fitness, concentration and (of course) relaxation.

Extend Your Life Expectancy Through Screenings and Tests

Improving your life expectancy through medical tests and health screenings is certainly not one of the "fun ways to live longer," but it is, without a doubt, one of the most effective ways to add healthy years on to your life. Medical tests and screenings can help treat diseases early, when they are more treatable, and extend life expectancy even with an illness or disease.

Of course, the challenge is figuring out what tests to take when. Only your doctor can really tell you 100% (every individual is different in terms of risk factors and family history), but we can check out so

me general guidelines for health screenings (see Health Screenings for Women or Health Screenings for Men).

I like to think of health screenings as part of a disease prevention program. Preventing diseases (or catching them early) is probably the single best way to add years to your life expectancy. Make a plan today to prevent disease, get everything checked and feel good that you are doing everything you can for a longer life expectancy.

Turn Off Your TV for a Longer Life Expectancy

If life expectancy and television watching aren't linked, I'd be shocked. Of course, I can't prove that TV and life expectancy are linked (no one has done a study comparing the life expectancy of TV-watchers and non-watchers, probably because they can't find enough non-watch ers for a good study). I really do think that cutting back on television watching would improve most people's health and (therefore) increase their life expectancy. Here's a couple of reasons:

• Watching TV makes you inactive. You just sit there burning as few calories as possible, which could lead to weight problems.
• TV makes you eat more junk food. People who are watching TV eat more than those who don't. It's a fact.
• TV makes you antisocial. You are at home, zoned in, instead of talking with real people, face-to-face.
• TV is stressful. The news and many shows are filled with stressful stories. Avoid these, and you may feel things are not so bad after all.
• TV keeps you from doing other things. This is the big one for me. The average person watches something like four hours of TV every day. That is 28 hours a week or more than 1,400 hours a year. If we all just put that time in to something else (exercise, volunteering, talkin g with our children), think of what a different world it would be.

Of course, I can't tell you how many years of life you will gain if you quit watching TV (it depends on your weight and what you do with the extra time), but I can tell you that you will gain back around 1,400 hours each year (on average).

Avoiding Risks Increases Life Expectancy

Life expectancy can be protected by making sure that you don't take any unnecessary risks. For young people, the biggest causes of death aren't diseases or age-related problems. The biggest causes of death for young people are accidents, injuries and violence. When you add certain behaviors (such as smoking) to that list (which shortens life expectancy by up to 14 years), you get a list of things to avoid to protect your life expectancy.

Here's the list (I know, it sounds like nagging, but do these things anyway): wear your seat belt, drive defensively, avoid situations that may lead to injury, avoid risky sex, avoid violent situations, don't smoke (or quit smoking if you do smoke) and maintain a healthy weight.

If you can do those things, then you are already increasing your life expectancy. Focus on avoiding obvious risks and dangers. Your body is pretty amazing and will keep going for a long time as long as you keep it out of trouble.

"Simplicity Of Life"

The Simplicity of Being

It is a twist of human psyche that we feel the need to have a purpose, that life has meaning, that we matter. The majority of us go through a period of reflection (if not multiple periods) during our lives, trying to make sense of it all. We NEED to know.It clobbered me the other day, while chit chatting with a family member, that there is no meaning to life. We simply exist.Does a bird (or any animal) try to answer the question of its existence? No, it simply exists. Day to day.

More accurately, second by second.It's laughable, the vanity of humans thinking that we matter. In the grand scheme of things we as individuals are nothing more than microscopic particles. Our actions have zero impact on the universe as a whole. Sure, we each are each playing a part in the destruction of the Earth, but even if our planet vanished tomorrow what real impact would that have on the universe as a whole? Earth would never be missed.

And if a whole planet can go unnoticed, that teeny tiny little ol' me matters even less!"Then why continue living?" I was asked. "Why bother at all?"Because life provides so many simple pleasures. But we're too busy chasing from this place to that, worried about what so-and-so thinks, paying bills, rising debt, keeping our jobs, wearing the latest trends, buying bigger/better/brighter.Stop and smell the roses!

"Who has time?!?"Some times I think I've lost my inner child - that sense of awe and wonderment - the belief in the imaginary and pretend. I sat and watched my niece and nephew opening their presents today, their eyes wide with surprise and happiness, and I was amazed that they still believe in Santa. They have faith in the red suit and beard, and the magic of the North Pole.The same way that the majority of the world has faith in some form of a cognizant God.

They cannot figure out the meaning their own, what purpose they serve, why they matter, so they fall back on faith, which lifts them and gives them hope.Why do so many people resort to blind faith for hope?I wonder how many people would pull the plug if they didn't have faith; if they were not religious? Then again, the atheists aren't running off the edge of cliffs like a buffalo stampede.I think deep down we all know that we serve no purpose.

Much like that bird flying over head, we simply exist. Why do we feel that there has to be more?We humans are cursed. Why can't we simply exist? Why can't we just simply be?All those year that I wasted trying to figure it all out - trying to make sense of it - when in a flash I'm okay with there being no meaning to life, and that I serve no purpose. I simply "am".

"We Can't Please Everybody So Just Be Yourself"

You dont owe anyone an EXPLANATION..

You asked yourself, why there are people who judge you? They are more focused on your faults. You asked how to tell those people you aren’t the person they think you are?

The answer is quite simple: YOU DON’T.

You dont owe anyone an explanation as to why you did the things you did. Short of illegal activities which beholden you explain yourself at the very least, you need only to answer to yourself mainly, and to the few people in your life who are very close to you, like your family and your friends.


But to practically complete strangers who cast judgements on your character so quickly, just present to them the most honest version of who you are, and that’s that.

If they have a problem then that’s their problem, its no longer yours.

Your past is a part of you, like a body part. If they will crucify you for it, then they will, whether or not you try to explain it to them.

Don’t let them put you on the defensive, with you needing to explain your choices, as if they were crimes.

Don’t try to change their minds by explaining yourself because you don’t have to and there’s nothing to explain, really.

Besides, ARE THIS PEOPLE PERFECT BY ANY STANDARDS? ARE THEIR CHARACTERS SO FREE FROM ANY TYPE OF BLEMISH THAT THEY THINK IT PUTS THEM IN A POSITION TO PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE?

People will bite your head off for ANYTHING that they could sink their nasty teeth into.

Personally, Ive had the worst things said about me, some truths, some lies, but I refuse to let these people, who hardly know the real me, to push me into feeling bad about myself.

I’m not about to go into a full campaign to redeem myself in the eyes of each and every person in the country who might have the wrong impression of me.

Some people will like you no matter what they hear, and some people will hate you no matter what you say.

Don’t try to win over everyone’s opinion, because you can’t. That’s a losing battle from the very start.

Your life is yours. Only you have to live with the decisions in your life.

For me, whatever people say, what worth knowing is I know that I am not perfect but I am sure that Im a good person.

Appreciate Life

Complicated Yet Amazing Life We Have

In this complicated world we live life can still be wonderful if we just learn to appreciate the simplicity of life.The little details in our daily lives like the air we breathe, the stars in the skies , the trees that gives life to our surroundings that helps soothes our souls just by staring at it. If we can only just see the beauty within nature that does'nt need money to enjoy the pleasure of appreciating every piece of it.

We tend to ignore the gift that God gave us we are blinded by the greediness of acquiring all the riches that man created that we neglect the true wealth that we should learn to love to experience the true happiness in life.

May be what you find something you do not like very much…………then you would put away the box wondering what to do with the present………
But, if the next day you find another present, you find something inside that you like very much………….

A memory from someone that is far away……..a beautiful clothing, you saw on a window shop……….the keys to a new car………..a beautiful winter coat………or just a beautiful white rose from somebody that remembered you…………..

This happens everyday but we do not realize it…………Everyday when we wake up, it is there before us a present sent to us by God…………..a whole day to use in the best possible way…………

Sometimes it comes with problems issues that we do not seem be able to solve

Sometimes it comes with sadness, deception, even tears…………………
But other times it comes full of surprises, happiness. success and achievements

What is important is that everyday we receive a present, wrapped especially for us while we sleep

THE NEXT DAY
We are presented this box with coloured bows, no matter what the day brings

That day when we wake up every morning is a
PRESENT

The present that life give s us. It is not always what we wish or what we hope for ….But it is the best of us, what we need most, what we need to grow…………

Open your present everyday, giving thanks first to the creator that gave it to you, without thinking what is inside the box

If today you do not receive the present you wanted, wait for the next one………and appreciate what you receive today

Tomorrow……….open your present with love and enthusiasm, because one day your dreams and the life plan for you will come inside the box, beautifully wrapped for you

Life does not care about what we want ……just about we need………….

May you have a day full of blessings, in which you can feel the loving presence of your Creator, and may the present of everyday bring you peace, spiritual growth, and enlightenment on all .We still have to learn about everyday and the plan life has for us everyday…………

LIFE

One tranquil summer night I stay in the seashore to breath the see breeze
For it bewitches my whole being.. then i begun to ponder things.
Life is not a bore nor does it distract me from my dreams...
But it is the beginning of my dreams' fulfillment.

It is something I must value.. something that is esteem
And therefore, I must be thankful of it, love it.
For in life i've learn many things.

But then, the soft breeze quivers my heart and ticle my personality
For the breeze gives me time to visualize my words and deeds
I linger in the shore for sometime for it lets me realize what life is all about.
Thus, when I leave the shore, I will feel how important to live and appreciate life.

And my search to nowhere no more...
Being so realistic now I will never hate nor loathe my life again.

A Little Bit Of Everything

More Of Me.....

There are many things in life that can make things better for you, but the real key is YOU. The magic is in believing. The magic is in trying. The real magic is in persevering. There is magic in a handshake. There is magic in a smile. There is magic in excitement and determination. There is real magic in compassion and caring and sharing. The feeling comes from inside, so the difference is inside you. Always remember you hold the key.

hhhmmm...still thinking if i really should post this entry to my blog.coz it makes me doubt if i write with sense or not. it's just "all about me", well if you are interested reading it , go ahead, but if u think it will just waisting time for you to spend reading my blog all i can say, just leave my page alone and give me a break..lol

Recently i always recieved messages from people i really dont know and asking me as well if they could know me more better.. hey guys, you're too demanding huh?[=

well, let's start this way, first dont expect me to answer all your questions because in the first place i'm not here to please everybody. Lucky those people who made me laughed, and still sincere of making friendship with me. If you think you're one of them who made me a lil' bit crazy, u may never know i'll treasure those times. :)

Im just a simple person, simple woman with simple needs. I look life as a big challenge for me and i look for the brighter side always. I'm not expecting people liking me easily and accept me the way I am, but i dont care as long as I'm doing the right thing and keep things in balance around me.

I'm not a perfect woman, nor my life isn't perfect neither.. the truth i have also weaknesses ...same thing with the people live here on earth.. I cried most of the times, and get hurt sometimes.. My life is not a bed of roses, i have also my ups and downs. I do mistakes often... And what most important for me when i had my mistakes in life, i'm learning from it. and still keep learning, trying to be strong and still standing and facing with pride.

I'm a very nice person if you're nice with me, but i may be the most rude person you'll ever had if your intention with me are untruthful and insencerity and most of all "sex object".

Having fun is good sometimes but being truthful to ourselves is like a goal that need to be achieved. I'm just trying to be real but who know's you might even know I'm not even existing..

"The Power Of Music In Our Lives"

How Music Affects Your Life

Music is a human activity which involves structured, audible sounds and is used for artistic, entertainment or ceremonial purposes. Music is a major part of our environment. Music is often referred to as "The International Language" - a simple thought with vast implications behind it. Even if you cannot speak the language of a foreign country, you can move, dance, and most of all, enjoy the music of that country. While we may not understand the words to a particular song, we do understand the beauty of the music.

The making of music predates man's use of the written word and is deeply tied to the development and uniqueness of various human cultures. Music has influenced human beings since the dawn of civilization. Music is written and performed for a variety of purposes, including human pleasure, religious or ceremonial functions, or as entertainment products for sale in the marketplace.

Music greatly affects our personal moods. Music can calm and revitalize us in a variety of ways. It can elevate our moods above our personal fears and doubts and even reduce stress and pain levels.

Try listening to a classical music score for a sense of power. Soft, soothing music can help you unwind. And listen to medium-fast to fast music for exercising and house cleaning. Putting additional music in your life can be a powerfully enriching tool.

As with everything created by humans, there is an elemental basis for the composition of music. The basic essence of music lies with its harmony, rhythm, melody and dynamics. Harmony is the relation of notes to notes as they are play simultaneously. Rhythm, by the most simple definition, is musical time.

Melody is a musical line of single tones or pitches, heard by the
listener as a single unity. Dynamics provide the emotion behind the musical thought. Dynamics tell the performer when to play a piece softly or when to play loudly--music ranges from a mere whisper to the fullest of sound.

Just as there are a multitude of definitions for the term "music", likewise there are many divisions and groupings of music, many of which are caught up in the argument over the precise definition of music. Among the larger theme areas are classical music, popular or commercial music (including rock and roll), country music and folk music. Some genres such as bebop-era jazz, rap, punk rock and electronic music are often discounted as "real music" by member music lovers.

As world cultures have grown closer, their particular musical styles and instruments have often merged. For example, U.S.-American bluegrass music contains elements from Anglo-Irish, Scottish, German and some African-American instrumental and vocal traditions. American music is truly product of the multi-ethnic "melting pot" society.

Whatever style of music you prefer, take the time regularly to enjoy your special musical composition. Music is good for your soul!

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music. Music is the key to the female heart.
