Do you know ?

There are times when you feel the world is on your shoulder. Having to carry the burden by yourself, you feel rage and anger; those deep and dark emotions start to flow out from your inner being. Your once modest and calm personalities turn into devil-like. Your once sweet smile turns a complete sour. However, I just stood there knowing that no matter how evil you are, I will always stand by your side with the knowledge that 'there is still some good left inside you.' No matter how hard it is, I will guide you to the light, to the hope so you will return to your true self.

Trust Nobody But Yourself

Believe me when I say, "Trust nobody but yourself."
The moment that you learn to depend on someone, you have indirectly put yourself in danger. Humans are vulnerable beings, to the extent that they easily fall for emotions and lust. However, they can also be the worst, to the extent of behaving like a monster. They care less about what happens in future; what is important is the present life. This is what we are, the mankind of today.
To put your trust into someone else is easy, but to make them trust you is another chapter of life. Trust is necessary to survive in the society because without it, you will have to depend on yourself and there is simply no other way for you to rely on other people. Isn't it cruel ?
But try to think of it as a challenge, being independent is a good thing. Although you lack of socialization which according to sociology, it might be a hindrance to your life, it does not imply that you are an outcast. Is that really important ? Do you truly believe that those decision makers, politicians, leaders, lawyers.etc. are better than you ? It is your choice. You determine the course of your life.
No one controls you, not God, not me, not a single person in this world. It is you alone. Putting your trust wrongly can be fatal, but at the same time, putting your trust on someone worthy, might just earn you something precious in life. You need to trust yourself to put your trust into the correct person. Hence, trust yourself to do the right thing and no one else besides your own heart.

Tears

With tears rolling down,
It fell and dropped,
Onto my little palms,
I held it near,
Tasted it,
Felt it,
It was warmth and comforting,
Without doubt,
It was my feelings,
Complicated and incomprehensible,
Sweet instead of saline,
I hesitated,
Again I tasted,
This time,
It wasn't sweet anymore,
It tasted bitter,
How could I possibly comprehend such mixed emotions,
How could I,
If only I could ever understand what I'm truly thinking,
I could,
Perhaps understand the world.

Teambuilding

Five weeks are all the times we have together. From the first day, we were just strangers to each other, staring at unfamiliar faces and talking in an awkward manner. On the second day, we got to know each other a little deeper by opening our hearts to those whom we trusted. On the third day, we shared our little secrets to whom we called friends. On the fourth day, we practically poured everything out, from sadness to happiness, to whom we called best friends. The day never comes to an end but the moments together are limited.

It seems like yesterday when I know you,

Looking into your eyes makes me wonder,

Do I really know you that well ?

From the times we are together,

We played, jokes,cried and laughed,

I could not hope for more,

You enlighten my dull life,

Filling it with colors of rainbows,

I wish time could be longer for us to be together,

But destiny calls,

I will miss every single moment of ours,

For what we have,

Are only memories,

Let us keep it, share it, and never forget it,

Because it is what keeps us closer to each other,

And that is FRIENDSHIP.

Philosophy of the Day

Have life been too simple yet it seems like thousand miles before you reach your goal ?

Stephen Gately - Boyzone

It is sad that you are no longer with us. However, we will always remember you for who you are. We will always be with you so that you are never lonely. Rest in peace.

Stephen Gately - 1976-2009

Stephen Gately was born in Ireland in March 1976 and joined Boyzone in 1993 after answering an advert in Dublin to audition for Ireland's first boyband.

He and Ronan Keating shared lead vocals and band had huge success with six singles reaching reaching number one, including "Stay" in 2001.

The band decided in 2000 to move on to solo projects. Gately was the first with his debut solo single titled New Beginning and later a debut solo album of the same name.

He went on to appear in various stage productions including starring in Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Gately hit the head lines in June 1999 when he admitted he was gay in our sister paper the Sun disappointing hundreds of his girl fans. His manager Louis Walsh was unaware of Gately's sexuality when he selected him for the band and has said that, had he known, he would have thought twice before picking him, citing that "it wasn't cool then to have a gay guy in a band.

(As for my own opinion, I don't think being gay is not cool, in fact, it is cool. I admire your courage for standing out for your own sexuality. Even though people do not accept you, it is who you really are and that is what makes you Stephen Gately.)

Gately wed Andrew Cowles, first in a commitment ceremony in Las Vegas in 2003 and more formally in a civil partnership ceremony in London in 2006.

Boyzone got back together in 2008 and Gately was enjoying the second coming when he tragically died last night in Majorca. This year in had made his film debut in the horror movie Credo.

Last week he attended the Pride of Britain Awards and the band were intending on bringing out a new album in 2010.

Philosophy of the Day

Love them for who they are but not for what they possess,
Love through their hearts but not through simple words,
Love their inner beauty not just physically,
Love them because you care for them,
Love them because they love you.
