My Uni classmate. One gorgeous blogger.

I meant to write this post and put it up with a photo with a friend of mine to promote her blog BUT this particular post was important to be put up the soonest possible!

:D   here goes....

As much as I am grateful for each and everyday, everyone has their ups and downs.

mine,

it's the usual.

My Uni days. lectures. assignments. feedback forms. results.

i'm not complaining. Just sharing.

to be bold, I was pretty down the last couple of days.

Somehow, someone out there... may be someone you've known for a long time. Someone you've just met. Or probably even someone you don't know. Either way, I now know that indeed, there'll always be people with a good heart.

As for me, a good friend of mine was so observant of how sad I was when my lecturer gave us our feedback form for our assignments. See, I've always had the problem of having high expectations on myself that I'd beat myself up(not literally) whenever things don't go the way it should. Back home, JO was always the one who'd be ready to listen and she'd know what to say. I miss my babe!

Anyway, I didn't even think anyone would notice but she did. When I came back from a short break during lecture, I found this on my table...

It was something that I would never have expected. Yvonne! gave me a kitkat and most importantly, a letter of assurance. It was what I needed. Someone to tell me, "It's okay to fall once in a while and girl, GET YOURSELF BACK UP!"

This girl has..by far..a girl i know who have the sweetest and innocent looking smile ever! She's a girl whom i can truly say that she live by these words, 'sharing is caring'. Nearly most of the lecture, she'd have some snacks to share with us group of girls in class, never failing to ask EACH of us, "you want? Just take. Don't need to ask."

One thing that makes Yvonne truly unique is that she treasures everyone, literally.

 [ It's a good thing. :) ]

THANK YOU, Yvonn!  :')

MUMs everywhere especially my mum

Happy Mother's Day!

my mummy,
you'll always mean so much to me. Even when I am at my worst and try to hide my bad days, whatever I do, i now know it'll never work because you'll always know whenever i'm feeling down. For that and for many many things that you've done all these years for me, my 'Thank You' will never be enough...

YOU inspire me to be the girl that I am today!

"...there's something behind that smile of yours!"

I LOVE YOU,mummy!

much love, cella

cloudy days

"back when i was a child,
before life removed all the innocence,
my father would lift me high,
and dance with my mother and me.."

- short lyrics from "Dance with my father, again" by Luther Vandross.

Such a beautiful song, a meaningful song and one that made me appreciate my own Dad even more.

I can't help but think of the many times when I tend to take things for granted - for many things, for granted, in fact.
These days, it's hard to stop from all the busy days but I'm trying to at least, note down every little thing that there is around me.

i miss home.

 

much love~

stalker detector,anyone?

I have always wondered what if...
IF... social networking sites have some sort of 'app' like thingy that let's you know whenever someone is viewing your profile, like immediately. :) wouldn't that be COOL??!

ABSOLUTELY NO!!!

Well, at least, that's my opinion. I don't want to know. Of course, you may prefer otherwise. There are pros and cons to it. I'll start with the cons.

SOOOOO... if there really is such 'app' as per say,

•  social networking sites won't ever be the same again.
• it can get pretty annoying if you know who's who keeps viewing your page
• simple way to start a new gossip around

 (e.g JUST EXAMPLE : Person A accidentally clicked on Person B's page because probably, he got a new ipad and don't know how to use it. Person B gets a notification that Person A is viewing his/her page. Same thing happened the day after and after and after. Person B had a wrong impression and well, told his/her fellow friends... then you know how it goes...)

The list goes on... [of course, feel free to let me know if you want to add-in to the list. I'll include your name with it to show my appreciation towards YOUR IDEA. ;) ]

As for the pros,

• You, as a fellow social network user can keep update on who is viewing your page.
• less online stalkers?
• perhaps, it could lessen your habit of viewing other people's page. Therefore, NOT wasting so much time on the net.
• Maybe, you, as a fellow blogger can use this 'app' to increase your page visitors and know when you need to really keep up when there is less viewers.

again, the list goes on and on and on....

"BUT there was such an 'app' before, which was in a famous social networking site then, 'Friendster'." , you might say.. YES, I am aware of that but the one in Friendster does not give you immediate notifications and I'm talking about having that 'app' in general not only in social networking sites.

JUST MY THOUGHT~

Simple choices in life

Friend : "HEY! This friday is a holiday. You wanna go out?"
Me      : "yeap, sure.. since I don't have a plan planned yet."
Friend : "Great! I knew you'd want to go so I had it all planned out.okay.. so here's my plan...."

What I didn't know or rather, What I forgot was that I actually already had a plan - a plan with Him.
That friday..was in fact, the most important day. Deep down, I was disappointed with myself that I had forget what I was suppose to do. As soon as I realized after answering my friend, I had to do something. Hence, my dilemma on the day itself was that :

 #1 : I could not possibly let down my friend. (yes, i could actually but thing is, he had it all planned out along with other people and I,too had invite my other friend to go so I could not just leave her)
#2 : I was eager to go - to see HIM

Probably you may not see it in 'my point of view' but for me, it was hard - a hard choice to make indeed.
Bottom line, I am not the type who does last minute cancellations and disappoint others.

How i solved it:
I brought all of them to church to meet HIM, to witness HIM for Good Friday mass! :)

What I learned?
Just tell the truth. Share your dilemma with them. That way, they know you're open with them. If they truly are friends, they'll understand and still accept you for who you are. Worse that can happen, Unfriend. Simple, no?

For anyone out there who ever encounter this before, especially those who are away from home, in this type of situation, it's easy to stray away. Trust me, it's easy to just follow others and not stand up for what you believe. Don't let anyone or anything put you down. Stay strong and like how I did, perhaps you could bring them to see what you believe.

"Go download Oovoo..!"

what's this you say?? Oovoo?
Personally, I have not heard of this until a friend of mine asked me to go download it. So i did but it didn't last. And now, another friend of mine is asking me to download it yet again. Apparently, it works nearly like skype.. only better? I'm not really sure about this since I don't even know how to use it. Perhaps, you all can go check it out : Oovoo  :)
