songs and feelings

I recently have realized that if there is a song which is constantly stuck in your head for some time, it can be possible that it reflects on:

1. current issues lingering (which possibly bother you)

or

2. things you are thinking about.

 

Over the past few weeks, lots of things have happened and I have done a coupe of experiments and discovered this…

I wasn’t aware at first and I really thought I somehow fell in love with certain song genres till I got curious and searched for their lyrics only to discover they spoke exactly what I was concerned about at that moment.

How amazing are our minds to be able to use this to show us of our feelings/thoughts/situations.

 

Of course, there are SOME exceptions where the song itself literally sticks in your head e.g. the recent Gwiyomi – I don’t want to show the Gwiyomi clips here so this is just the version with the lyrics translated into English (please Google it if you don’t know what this is) ps. beware… you have been warned! XD

Flowers vs. Plants

I just had an amazing conversation with one of my good friends, somehow we ended up talking about how “guys should give girls flowers because that is sweet".

My views are: it is nice for guys to give girls flowers, however, I would appreciate it even more if guys gave girls plants instead (those plants can be flowers too… or anything long lasting) Because I believe any gift you give to your significant other is a reflection of your relationship, just giving flowers which may wither after 7 days is not very practical and only memories of that “occasion" linger for a very short time. BUT if you received a plant, not only should you take care of it (watering, feeding it, caring for it, etc) it also symbolizes your relationship with that person, your relationship must be cultivated (with time, energy, etc) AND it is much more practical (since it lasts WAY longer than ordinary stem flowers).

BESIDES, isn’t it a pity when you receive flowers, not only are they expensive (I believe the latest price is $8 per stem), the social norm expects you to buy at least 12 stems (12 x 8 = 72 +taxes) and it doesn’t even last long. 

So I would much prefer if a guy would give me a plant (obviously a “good looking" one) instead of a dozen of roses.

I don’t know… maybe I’m just a weird girl! XD… what do you think?

friends…

It’s so sad, some of my friends are so used to being used to the point when I look for them they think I need to ask for a favor of some sort 😦

What ever happened to pure friendships? sad…

Brokenness might not be a bad thing

I remember attending a sermon some few months ago. The pastor asked us: what must be broken in order to be used? answer was eggs. He said like eggs, we must be broken in order to be used by God.

Do not be afraid to be broken. It might be God’s plan to help you so He can use you!

Blogs Blogs Blogs

One of the main disadvantages of have more than 1 blog is when you write something, you got to decide where they belong? sometimes, it may be very clear, but for other times, I just can’t decide, it’s frustrating! When I share thoughts on my xanga for my friends, I want my readers to enjoy the same thoughts and reflections, but I hate to double post something as I feel I am “tricking" my readers into reading something twice.

alas, I have created a review blog to compliment my instagram please check it out!

P.S. you are the first to know! 🙂

Valentine’s Day & LOVE!

Valentine’s Day should definitely be about love, however, I feel it shouldn’t be limited to just that “one kind of love" for relationships, but rather, it should also be spread to friends, family, etc

So, let’s try to love those around us and spread love to those who have love or need to be loved! So that all can celebrate Valentine’s Day and feel loved! Let’s make this world a better place! By one small simple step at a time! 😀 ❤ ❤ ❤

Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂 ❤

 

情人節絕對是關於愛情的，但是，我覺得它不應該被局限於只是“一種愛” (情人)，而是應該也可以傳播給朋友，家人，等

所以，讓我們應該愛我們身邊的人，讓愛散播到身邊的喜歡或需要被愛的！咁嚟、我地身邊的每一位都可以慶祝情人節和被愛的感覺！讓我們把這個世界一個更好的地方！Let’s make this world a better place! By one small simple step at a time! ：D <3<3 ❤

快樂情人節！ 🙂 ❤

love – the sad truth

I came across this quote today:

“It’s amazing how a person who was once just a stranger, can suddenly mean the world to you."

 

However, (the sad truth, and probably much a reality)

 

It’s devastating how a person who had once meant the world, can suddenly be such a stranger to you.

 

lies

dear liars,

Why do you like to lie to so much? seriously, I do know, the only reason I don’t bust your lie is because I don’t want you to think I care about you so much, to the point, that I remember everything you have said.

Yours Truly,
Steph

New Year!

Don’t Scoff, I meant Chinese New Year, yes, I have abandoned this blog for quite a while, I was going through some tough times, but hopefully, I’m back…

I have written quite a few posts (on my phone) but I still haven’t figured on how to expand on the ideas… see… I do care about you (the audience, reader) just that I haven’t been able to think straight. 

I hope you all will be impressed by (or at least enjoy reading) the few posts coming up! 🙂

 

cheers,
Steph

Judging others – random thoughts

Before you even think of judging others, please remember that you are not them, you haven’t experienced what they experienced nor have gone through what they have gone through…

something random regarding this topic I came across:

The elephant asks the camel: Hey, why do you have tits on your back?"

The camel says, “well, ain’t that some sh*t coming from a guy with a dick on his face.

Judge not, and you shall not be judged.
