It is time to make the decision.
A lifetime decision.

Why bother?
I learned something small today. But perhaps can change and become something big for me in my future.
I learned that sometimes when people in crisis/trouble comes and talk to you, they come with an intention for you to only hear.
Sometimes they come wanting you to hear and understand them.
Sometimes they come wanting you to hear them, understand them, and say what they want to hear from you.
And sometimes they come wanting you to hear them, understand them, say what they want to hear from you, and ask for opinions and suggestions from you that doesn't require them to lower their ego, make the first move or make the change happen.
So why bother?

Empty
She had just left 2 days ago.
Empty room. Empty space.
A big empty space.
Out there and in here..

Power to "Be"
Be who you are and say what you feel
Because those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind
Because those who mind don't matter
And those who matter don't mind

Cartoon Character
Have you ever asked yourself what cartoon character do you most resemble? A group of investigators got together and analyzed the personalities of well known and modern cartoon characters. The information that was gathered was made into this test: Answer all the questions with what describes you best, then add up all your points at the end and look for your results. Then forward this to all your friends and change the subject of this message to what character fits you..
And I am.. Charlie Brown!!
You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

The Unknown
One of my good old friends, Fikri sent his "personal statement" (as he calls it) application to universities in the States or UK pursuing his Masters degree in film-making for me to have a brief read.
Here's what caught me most.
"People are generally afraid of that which they do not know. Though understandable, it is something I want to change."
I have to give credit to him for this particular statement.
For he has found the hero in himself.
As how we say it here "down-under"..
g'd on ya, mate!

High Explorers
"..because we take chunks of our life experiences; then we explore and analyze them"
Joy, my supervisor tonight told us that counsellors are high explorers. Not many are high explorers so what we are may not apply to others. I figure we should always be aware of our expectations.
If only it is that easy to not have expectations.

Love Actually
They were showing one of my all-time favourite movies, Love Actually tonight.
So naturally, we huddled on our sofas in front of the telly and watched it.
Ooo-ing and ahh-ing along the way.
*Love is. Love does. Love doesn't hurt*

the core of intimacy
If I am I because I am I
And you are you because you are you
Then I am and you are
But if I am I because you are you
And you are you because I am I
Then I am not and you are not

Irwin's death
I watched Terri Irwin's interview with Ray tonight on channel 9.
During the memorial thing they did for Steve, Bindi wrote a letter/poem about her dad. She waited for the crowd to stop applauding before starting. She's just 8 reading with her pointy finger over each word she had written. I thought to myself, she seems to be very strong and collected personality. She is. Almost just like her father, how we know him. She looks everything like her father.
My thoughts, my prayers, goes to you, Bindi.
Your strength, your wisdom, your passion, your optimism, I share them with you.
Terri spoke and walked us out into the journey of her's and Steve's. And how she saw him through her eyes. His joyous spirit, his tough times, their thoughts, their promises, the kids BobBob and Bindi, his humility, his spontaneity and how she can go on and on talking about him. Describing him through her eyes just as we see him. They both joked about how he would die. He said it would be from a car crash and Terri said he'll fall off a tree. But never by animals. He was never stung by a venomous snake. He was a professional.
Terri ended the interview by saying she has to climb this mountain by herself, and to me, she's climbing the mountain herself with millions of people around the world, holding hands below every step of climb she takes.
Steve Irwin died Sept 4th, 2006.

Suicides, guns, killings, sudden deaths and coping
These are the things and thoughts that fill my mind half of the day today. To be able to come home with these thoughts in my head are not easy. Neither for myself nor my housemates. And I resort to Willy Wonka hot chocolate and hot shower. Now before bed, here are my thoughts.
More than the stories I have to hear during classes and tutorials just now, it was Oprah's stories that came to my mind more profoundly right now.
A mother lost his 16 yr old son in a house fire while he was going downstairs trying to wake his stepbrother.
A crippled 13 yr old boy in an automatic wheelchair with support system all around him since he was 3, touched a young surgeon's life and gave him the strength to wake up each morning to work.
A viewer bought Oprah's shoes in an auction and wore them everytime she needs courage to stand on her own and now she is able to stand in her own shoes.
Where do these people get their strength and will are amazing. How one touch another's life is world peace that we're all talking about. Thank god for Oprah, our networking are moving and enables us to touch and move others in better directions.
World peace may not be possible, but this we can.
On a much more personal note, my father is my idol, is my hero. May God bless him with joy every second of his life because only He knows how much he needs and deserves it.

I have a thing..
I have a thing for passionate people.
The way they speak of the things they are into.
The way they sing it.
The way their eyes becomes glossy and determine with strong emotions.
The way their face changes in every depth they take.
The way their veins becomes visible with every rush of their blood.
The way they cackle with intonations.

They're the ones making changes to the world..

Animal cruelty
I'm depressed.
Polar bears are dying due to global warming. Their hunting season gets shortened and they die from hunger.
Human beings are the biggest threat to animals.
