Monday Jokes

A teacher asks her class,

“If there are 5 birds sitting on a fenceand you shoot one of them, how many will be left?”

She calls on little Mark.

He replies,

“None , they will all fly away with the first gunshot.”

The teacher replies, “The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking.”

Then little Mark says, “I have a question for YOU. ”

There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream:One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream.The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone.The third is biting off the top of the ice cream.Which one is married?”

The teacher, blushing a great deal, replied,

“Well, I suppose the one that’s gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.”

To which Little Mark replied,

“The correct answer is ‘the one with the Wedding ring on,” but I like your thinking.”

Something New for a New Year

A new year, a new beginning. Isn’t that what they say?

Get rid of the old crap and make room for new adventures and experiences. After all, 2007 wasn't a pretty good year, but hopefully 2008 will be better. There are a lot of things to look forward to and I think I can finally allow myself to do so. I also made some new year’s resolutions, something I’ve never done before since I know I’ll only forget about them the day after. This time though, I could think of a few pretty good ones so I thought it at least would be worth a try.

1. Taking better care of myself including turn bad habits around.
2. Save money.
3. Keep reminding myself every day I’m not as bad as I think.

Some of them will probably be harder to keep than others, but I don’t know unless I try, so here goes I guess.

It’s funny, being a grown up isn’t quite what I thought it would be like. Responsibility and stuff is okay and so on but I thought some things wouldn’t happen.

Looking back on 2007, it was more down than ups for me.

Making a big entrance back to my singlehood after a 5 year relationship. Well, its kinda hard at first but then, there is nothing that i can do but to accept. Well...I kinda get back on to my both of my feet now and things are also seem to be kinda going the ways I wanted....(Duhh..I'm doing things that I like, and no one is there to bother)

To think of it, I had kind of given up I think, or I’d come to conclusion I didn’t care. Unless someone was going to fall on my head I wasn’t going to bother, and I didn’t.

A rather big surprise indeed when my father, decided to leave all of us (my mom, sis n bros) behind without any known reason of his death. It has been 58 days already he left us, and my mom still can't accept the fact.

Had a long talk with my mom yesterday as it was my parents 34th Anniversary...which of course, makes her really sad and....I'm glad I'm by her side to go through these moments with her. May my dad rest in peace.

Then… that someone fell on my head when I least expected it; when I thought I was done with searching and chasing. Since then, I’ve been able to see myself in a different light. For the first time ever, I can look at myself and see someone beautiful. Beyond what I see in myself, beside the load of crap I’m still carrying around inside of me, I can see a pretty face. I don’t know, perhaps it is because she taught me how to smile like I mean it, now I can smile and feel it from the inside.

Smiling makes you more beautiful, she made me discover that. There are of course still days when I can’t see things from this angle, but I can in truth say that seeing someone to talk to is helping a lot more than I thought, I understand that now. The lows haven’t been as low in a while and I can straighten my back and say I’ve fine....at least..for the moment.

For last I’m going to start the new year with sending my dear friends a thought and saying THANK YOU for still being around and putting up with me. I love you all to bits.

Loneliness with 2008

First of all, would like to wish everyone a Hapi Nu Yer...hope you all had a blast welcoming year 2008....no matter with ur loved ones, family, friends....or just by urself.

Since when was loneliness an emotion? It’s like a dull thudding in my brain. I don’t even identify it until it’s so loud till I believe I’ll go insane.

And the pain that I feel; it isn’t even real; But I suppose it is because it’s so intense and
nothing any longer appears to make much sense. Which is why I find it hard now to believe my surroundings.

Loneliness seems more like an oblivious thought. Something that I’ve only dreamt and never sought. It’s the forlorn nights you spend all alone and weeping deep within ur heart. It’s the phone calls from your parents asking ‘how you’re doing’. It’s veiled silently in the spiteful glances of your peers. It’s in the howls of the sharp wind; in the blackening sky. It’s in the eyes of the destitute and the tears that they cry. It’s in your spirit, your soul, and your unconscious mind.

In the beating of your heart, and the lost loves that you’ve pined. It’s hiding in the crevices, and the places you least expect. And it comes and goes with the sentiments that you collect. It’s your whole mortal being when it captures your soul. And doesn’t seem to realize that it’s seizing such a toll.

After all that, loneliness seems to be more than an emotion; it’s a part of meself. And it’s so greatly involved that it is able to affect my health.

Here I am now, writing this at a very nice and quiet Starbucks outlet which is the favourite of mine...trying my very best to describe about my feelings rite now.

This is the end of 2007 for me.
