Or it is just a standard depending on the point of view of a specific person... What are the boundaries of being right or wrong???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One quick question, if you do something right (corrective action) with to a certain person or individual. Will that somebody tend to recall that thing that you have just done? Or the only thing that in his or her mind that will reflect his or her memory is the only thing that you have made WRONG! Do I make any sense??? Or am I just realistic and you are guilty of it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m just curious of a fact that when a person is mad! Everything that he/she remembers are the things that you did wrong! Or is it just a fact supporting that life is unfair! Or it’s just that we mankind doesn’t know how to accept the fact that we ourselves are also committing mistakes and we always put the blame on somebody just to save our own ASS!&lt;br clear="all" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-113980954994392051?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/113980954994392051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=113980954994392051' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/113980954994392051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/113980954994392051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2006/02/what-is-right.html' title='What is Right?'/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10393530.post-113699410810237102</id><published>2006-01-11T23:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-01-11T23:41:48.120+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Selfless</title><content type='html'>I will be writing this article in behalf of my friend...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, for the past twenty two years... all I do is work and gain something for my self... maybe at least twenty five percent of those is for my family...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but this would be a one quick question...  can you ever imagine such person who can be selfless (what I am speaking of is a person whon is  out of a monastery!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kidding aside..

REPOSTED</title><content type='html'>Well, I just noticed nowadays that before I lay my head into my soft pillows that is named after a chocolate to whom I felt it's sweetness from more than a decade or so..... Tears are keep on coming down from my eyes as I sleep... "reality bites" no matter how you prepare yourself to face the stings of the painful future, you'll still feel the itchiness of its stings and the venom that it had left on to your body and especially your heart.... I am only a man who have its own feelings and emotions... and sometimes the worst is I cannot control them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well to give you an idea on what craps am I talking about, It's just so happen that the person who is above us all gave me a sweet something that is made up of cocoa... that thing that is made up of cocoa really means something to me... when I use to hold it, I feel that im the happiest person that I can be... It looks like that I can never ask for anything in this world... but the thing is, I'm just living in fantasy... HELLO WAKE UP!!! yeah guys, stupid of me!!! for letting that feeling lingers me for more than half of a decade... it's because of this "what if" scenario...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a person to loose one of the most important persons in his life is really devastating, it's just like a coffee without a cream, milk, or sugar... you'll definitely taste the bitterness of life... "that's the reason why I just let this stupid feeling of mine lingers me for a very very long time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;let's face it there would come a time.. that one morning you'd really woke up realizing all of the things that you have done and you get nothing at all... it's very painful sometimes you see the one you love crying in your own shoulders and the thing that you can only say is I"m just here at you're side and will never leave you.. and all the while you've been wanting to that somebody is that is something like this "No more talk of darkness,Forget thesewide-eyed fears.I'm here, nothing can harm you -my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom,let day light dry -your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you . . ." ("excerpts from the song all i ask of you...") painful isn't?!?!?!? it's because you are really afraid of loosing that somebody you pretended to be a pal who will always be there at their side, although you are already fooling both of yourselves... for you, you are being harsh on yourself by keeping and controlling that feeling inside you that lingers for a very long time... to that somebody.. for cheating him/her... (loving somebody without letting them knowing it is one of the greatest form of cheating!!) then, with the power that helped you to say or to confess all of those things that had been inside you for a long time flourished... after sometime youd get so lame and will take it for granted.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does it took me twenty one years to realize how difficult to find that magical thing that will make your life colorful.... yeah guys, it is really so painful if you had given a chance and you just put that chance of your life in to the bin... and then one morning you'd realized that a truck had already emptied that bin and transfer it into the dumpsite and here you go following that trashed chance into that dumpsite and you'd definitely realized that out of those mountiful (is there such a word...) trashes you'd definitely having a lifetime in finding that trashed chance that you had just thrown away..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now here I am, facing the endless tomorrows still feeling the venom inside me... i know that the pain of this venom will fade away soon... but the memoirs of it will never fade away... funny isn't!!!! sometimes we must sip the taste of an unsugared and uncreamed coffee before we tend to realize that we had forgot to put a little bit of sugar and cream... and then realized it's too late for us, its because we had already tasted the coffee (the bitterness of it) before realizing what we had missed before....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, as soon as possible I have to recover and to continue to put some shades of color to some of the uncolored areas of my life, perhaps i must face the reality for now that I'm am the only one who's putting the shades of color in it.. I have to be alone for now, although I can't erased the shades that had been placed on some of the areas that had been already being shaded... i know those shaded areas helped me to be what I am now...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-113082774007300548?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/113082774007300548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=113082774007300548' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/113082774007300548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/113082774007300548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/11/tears-from-past-reposted.html' title='Tears from the PAST....

The thing is we humans usually decides only for our own good/self (aren't we selfish???)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;did you ever tried, even once in your life to make decision with the guidance of a prayer.... I am not trying to be a sanctified person by saying that... all I am saying is that did we ever asked what does our Lord want??? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True isn't.... I just remember a close friend who told me that story... when we are trapped in the middle of nowhere we usually call to our Lord... but did we ever try to seek our conscience what does he wants us to do..... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As  a person, I admit that I decide to the betterment of my future... but one day I realized and also asked myself... how does it feel if your going to seek help from him...

"nakakiyak... coming from my sis' blog..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tree === People call me "Tree". I had dated 5 gals when I was in Pre-U. There's one gal who I love a lot but never dared to go after. She didnt have a pretty face, or good figure, nor an outstanding charm. She was just a very ordinary gal. I liked her. I really liked her. I liked her innocence, her frankness, her intelligence and her fragility. Reason for not going after her was because I felt somebody so ordinary like her was not a good match for me. I was also afraid that after we were together all the feelings would vanish. I was also afraid other's gossip would hurt her. I felt that if she were my gal, she'd be mine ultimately &amp; I didn't have to give up everything just for her. The last reason, made her accompanying me for 3 years. She watched me chase other gals, and I have made her heart cry for 3 years. She was a good actress and me a demanding director. When I kissed my 2nd girlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smiled &amp;amp; said, "Go on!" before running off. The next day, her eyes were swollen like a walnut. I didn't want to know what caused her to cry. Later that day, I returned from soccer training to get something &amp; watched her cry in the classroom for an hour or so. My 4th girlfriend didn't like her. There was once when both of them quarreled. I know that based on her character she's not the type that will start off the quarrel. But I still sided my girlfriend. I shouted at her &amp;amp; ignored her feelings and walked off with my girlfriend. The next day, she was laughing &amp; joking with me like nothing happened. I know she was hurt but she didn't know deep down inside I was hurt too. When I broke up with my 5th girlfriend, I asked her out. Later that day, I told her I had something to tell her. I told her about my break up. Coincidentally, she has something to tell me too, about her getting together. I knew who the guy was. His pursuit for her had been the talk of the School. I didnt show her my heartache, just smiles &amp;amp; best wishes. Once I reached home, I couldn't breath. Tears rolled &amp; I broke down. How many times have I seen her cry for the man who didnt acknowledge her presence? During graduation, I read a sms in my hp. It said, Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaf === People call me Leaf. During the 3 years of Pre-U, I was on very close terms with a guy as buddy kind. But when he had his 1st girlfriend, I learnt a feeling I never should have learnt - Jealousy. Sourness to the extreme limit. They were only together for 2 months. When they broke up, I hid ! my happiness. But after a month, he got together with another gal. I liked him &amp; I know he liked me. But why won't he pursue me? Since he loves me why he didn't he make the first move? Whenever he had a new girlfriend, my heart would hurt. After some time, I began to suspect that this was one sided love. If he didnt like me, why did he treat me so well? It's beyond what you will normally do for a friend. I know his likes, his habits. But his feelings towards me I can never figure out. You can't expect me a gal to ask him. Despite that, I still wanted to be by his s ide. Care for him, accompany him, and love him. Hoping that one day, he will come to love me. Because of this, I waited for him. Sometimes, I wondered if I should continue waiting. The pain, the dilemma accompanied me for 3 years. At the end of my 3rd year, a junior pursues me. Everyday he pursues me. He's like the cool &amp;amp; gentle wind, trying to blow off a leaf from a tree. In the end, I realized that I wanted to give this wind a small footing in my heart. I know the wind will bring the leaf to a better land. Finally leaf left the tree, but the tree only smiled &amp; didn't ask me to stay. Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wind==== Because I like a gal called leaf. Because she's so dependent on tree so I have to be a gust wind. A wind that will blow her away. When I first met her, it was 1 month after I transfer t o the new school. I saw a petite person looking at my seniors &amp; me playing soccer. During ECA time, s! he will always be sitting there. Be it alone or with her friends looking at him. When he talks with gals there's jealousy in her eyes. When he looked at her, there's a smile in her eyes. Looking at her became my habit. Just like she likes to look at him. One day, she didn't appear. I felt something amissed. I can't explain the feeling except it's a kind of uneasiness. The senior was also not there as well. I went to their classroom, hid outside and saw my seniors colding her. Tears were in her eyes while he left. The next day, I saw her at her usual place, looking at him. I walked over and smiled to her. Took out a note &amp;amp; gave to her. She was surprised. She looked at me, smiled &amp; accepts the note. The next day, she appeared &amp;amp; passes me a note and left. Leaf's he art is too heavy and wind couldn't blow her away It's not that leaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to leave tree. I replied her note with this statement and slowly she started to talk to me &amp; accept my presents &amp;amp; phone calls. I know that the person she loves is not me. But I have this perseverance that one day I will make her like me. Within 4 months, I have declared my love for her no less ! than 20 times. Every time, she will divert away from the topic. But I never give up. If I decide I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win her over. I can't remember how many times I have declared my love to her. Although I know she will try to divert but I still bear a small ray of hope. Hoping that she will agree to be my girlfriend. I didn't hear any reply from her over the phone. I asked, "What are you doing? How come you didn't want to reply?" She said, "I'm nodding my head". "Ah?" I couldn't believe my ears. "I'm nodding my head" She replied loudly. I hang up the phone, quickly changed and took a taxi and rush to her place &amp;amp; press her doorbell. During the moment when she opens the door, I hugged her tightly. Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-111620491125913466?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/111620491125913466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=111620491125913466' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/111620491125913466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/111620491125913466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/05/drama.html' title='Drama.....'/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10393530.post-111620419735807322</id><published>2005-05-16T08:39:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-16T08:51:12.183+08:00</updated><title type='text'>What a very bad day...</title><content type='html'>Well, I just woke up around like 3:00 am and guess what our schedule changed... from 6am to 3pm then changed to 1:00pm to 10pm... whoah... as I'm walking ayala avenue, I was thnking in to a place in where i could spend my 5 hrs... whaaaah... good thing I had a lot of good friends way back in school...

I thought the whole thing was just a copycat of J.K's famous novel, but during my nice view of the silverscreen it really proved me wrong... the whole story was different and no magical powers or extra ordinary powers were being involved in the personas of the three main characters including the villain "Count Olaf!!" the twists of the story depended on the amusing skills of the characters... the eldest of the Baudelere's Viola, has the ability to invent things.... then the second child of the Baudelere's, has the ability to remember every detail on what he had read.... and the cute baby girl the last child of the baudelere's Sunny, has the disturbing but quite useful ability of biting on whatever she holds... then for the wicked villain "Count Olaf" a famous actor indeed???? (that's what he claims in the film) played by a great actor "Jim Carrey" has the ability to act things out???? huh??? a great impostor indeed, I think that's his major talent... I guess the other things in the movie should be unraveled as you've watched the said film... I can give a rating of 8 tickets out of 10 tickets....  by the way check out for the other participation of the famous holywood personalities such as Dustin Hoffman and Meryll Streep....

I know that we are already used to the saying that before we conclude nor should I say generalize our decisions, it is still better to think a thousand times before doing it... we don't want to mess up the future right?!?!!?&lt;br /&gt;but if we didn't make the right decision, it doesn't mean that our life ends there... I definitely know that we don't have the "UNDO" capability but we have one skill thatthe computer doesn't have.. the learning through experience capability...well, I hope i'm not mistaken to claim that we humans has that advantage against those smart machines...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what a dream if we ever knew how to unfog the future, maybe the suffering of each and every one of us will somehow be eliminated.. no pain! no hurt! no more tears of sadness! no more sufferings!,no more excitement, and no more leasons to be learned.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-110904162601110124?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/110904162601110124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=110904162601110124' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110904162601110124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110904162601110124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/02/molding-future.html' title='Molding the Future'/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10393530.post-110895384544350580</id><published>2005-02-21T10:44:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-02-22T11:15:15.006+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Family that Drinks Together Stays Together!!!

Scientifically, when lightning strikes it only means that there is an enough amount of opposite charges that had collided into each other....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks ike in that millions of charges, you'll only meet one particular charge that has the same level of energy as you are... and if that charged particle has met his counterfeit charge, they will merge and join the other charges to create a very devastating force "lightning".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonderful isn't?!?! for a charge particle to offer his/her self to the other, yet they know that if they met and surrender themselves to their charge counterpart its the end of everything for them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's like a person whose in search for his partner... We definitely know that there are a lot of people living in this world, but only one of those is your lifetime partner... A partner who can surrender his/her self to you without any doubts or questions, a person who is your match in terms of everything if not, he or she will try to be, who can face all of the struggles with you and can destroy or devastate all of the forces that may come in your way... just like when lightning strikes, you are one of the most powerful force ever created when you are together... you're both invinsible...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But sometimes life really really sucks... we all know that it is really hard to find for that charge counterfeit... but one thing is for sure when you are fortunate enough to meet that charged particle definitely you'll be one of the happiest persons living in this world... happinness in a sense that you're willing to give everything that you have, even your life to that person... because you know that person is willing to die with you also... just like the two charges who are willing to give themsleves to the hands of Thor for them to be a powerful force that no one or no other forces can matched up with...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-110887412905785219?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/110887412905785219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=110887412905785219' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110887412905785219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110887412905785219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/02/when-lightning-strikes_20.html' title='When Lightning Strikes'/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10393530.post-110879208501853679</id><published>2005-02-19T13:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-02-19T13:48:05.016+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #FFFFFF; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/50/lukin2meyes.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;look into my eyes&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href='http://www.hello.com/' target='ext'&gt;&lt;img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbh.gif' alt='Posted by Hello' border='0' style='border:0px;padding:0px;background:transparent;' align='absmiddle'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-110879208501853679?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/110879208501853679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=110879208501853679' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110879208501853679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110879208501853679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/02/look-into-my-eyes.html' title=''/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10393530.post-110878848329136653</id><published>2005-02-19T11:56:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-02-19T12:48:03.296+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tears from the PAST....</title><content type='html'>Well, I just noticed nowadays that before I lay my head into my soft pillows that is named after a chocolate to whom I felt it's sweetness from more than a decade or so..... Tears are keep on coming down from my eyes as I sleep... "reality bites" no matter how you prepare yourself to face the stings of the painful future, you'll still feel the itchiness of its stings and the venom that it had left on to your body and especially your heart.... I am only a man who have its own feelings and emotions... and sometimes the worst is I cannot control them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well to give you an idea on what craps am I talking about, It's just so happen that the person who is above us all gave me a sweet something that is made up of cocoa... that thing that is made up of cocoa really means something to me... when I use to hold it, I feel that im the happiest person that I can be... It looks like that I can never ask for anything in this world... but the thing is, I'm just living in fantasy... HELLO WAKE UP!!! yeah guys, stupid of me!!! for letting that feeling lingers me for more than half of a decade... it's because of this "what if" scenario...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a person to loose one of the most important persons in his life is really devastating, it's just like a coffee without a cream, milk, or sugar... you'll definitely taste the bitterness of life... "that's the reason why I just let this stupid feeling of mine lingers me for a very very long time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;let's face it there would come a time.. that one morning you'd really woke up realizing all of the things that you have done and you get nothing at all... it's very painful sometimes you see the one you love crying in your own shoulders and the thing that you can only say is I"m just here at you're side and will never leave you.. and all the while you've been wanting to that somebody is that is something like this "No more talk of darkness,Forget thesewide-eyed fears.I'm here, nothing can harm you -my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom,let day light dry -your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you . . ." ("excerpts from the song all i ask of you...") painful isn't?!?!?!? it's because you are really afraid of loosing that somebody you pretended to be a pal who will always be there at their side, although you are already fooling both of yourselves... for you, you are being harsh on yourself by keeping and controlling that feeling inside you that lingers for a very long time... to that somebody.. for cheating him/her... (loving somebody without letting them knowing it is one of the greatest form of cheating!!) then, with the power that helped you to say or to confess all of those things that had been inside you for a long time flourished... after sometime youd get so lame and will take it for granted.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does it took me twenty one years to realize how difficult to find that magical thing that will make your life colorful.... yeah guys, it is really so painful if you had given a chance and you just put that chance of your life in to the bin... and then one morning you'd realized that a truck had already emptied that bin and transfer it into the dumpsite and here you go following that trashed chance into that dumpsite and you'd definitely realized that out of those mountiful (is there such a word...) trashes you'd definitely having a lifetime in finding that trashed chance that you had just thrown away..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now here I am, facing the endless tomorrows still feeling the venom inside me... i know that the pain of this venom will fade away soon... but the memoirs of it will never fade away... funny isn't!!!! sometimes we must sip the taste of an unsugared and uncreamed coffee before we tend to realize that we had forgot to put a little bit of sugar and cream... and then realized it's too late for us, its because we had already tasted the coffee (the bitterness of it) before realizing what we had missed before....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, as soon as possible I have to recover and to continue to put some shades of color to some of the uncolored areas of my life, perhaps i must face the reality for now that I'm am the only one who's putting the shades of color in it.. I have to be alone for now, although I can't erased the shades that had been placed on some of the areas that had been already being shaded... i know those shaded areas helped me to be what I am now...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-110878848329136653?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/110878848329136653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=110878848329136653' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110878848329136653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110878848329136653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/02/tears-from-past.html' title='Tears from the PAST....'/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10393530.post-110800846698343177</id><published>2005-02-10T11:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-02-10T12:07:46.983+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Opinions! trash or gem...</title><content type='html'>comments, opinipns, judgement, and criticisms.... yes! whether you like it or not it is part of this game that we call life.... some may treat is a bad as it could be, but some might treat it in a positive manner... put the hell out of it!!! we are all different... but one thing is for sure no matter what you do and no matter what you say.... there is always one crappy individual who will never agree with you..... correction!!!  i am not a bitter boy!!! its just that i see things in a different angle... going back, yeah! some people do some criticisms, judgement, and opinions or whatever just to say what's wrong with you or whatever that it is in you that really needs some improvement/s... but other craps just do those things for fun!!! "the hell with them" well as i've said we can't do anything just to please those twirpz!!! (He who tries to please everybody will end up pleasing nobody!!!)  before I do anything, I'm always telling that to my self.... well, if you know that you did your best shot in that particular thing that you do!! walk with heads uplift you deserve it!!! no matter how many twirpz that you might come across with just ignore them, they don't deserve even a single bit of your attention ( you'll never know... they're just insecure) for me doing my best in evertything that i do means a lot to me!!!! so no matter how many stones that those people casts/ or casted on me!!! i don't care!!! what matters most is I did my part.... i did not write this whatever it is.. to rise the temperature's up and teaching you to be mean... i just want to enlighten the fact that don't suppress yourself and giving you a piece of reality... well that's life anything goes.... tata!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-110800846698343177?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/110800846698343177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=110800846698343177' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110800846698343177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110800846698343177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/02/opinions-trash-or-gem.html' title='Opinions! trash or gem...'/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10393530.post-110667749654034138</id><published>2005-01-26T01:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-02-22T11:20:32.870+08:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Beginning</title><content type='html'>Astonishingly, I just find my self writing this article about my ideals in life... maybe in this manner, I may inspire other individuals... (dream on!). By the way, with modesty aside, I can claim that I had acheived a lot of goals in life in such a very young age and I just can't stop in doing it. It looks like I have this adrenaline rush into achieving more and more.. but as what the old saying goes, YOU CAN'T WIN THEM ALL!!! a friend told me that no matter how hard you try and how you intimately pushed your self into your limits and try your very very best! you still have to feel or experienced failure in this game that we call life. yes! it's true! i had failed in no matter what that I do to prevent it from happening, for crying out loud!!! still it happened.. I asked my self why, and ask my self that "do I deserve this???" , etc.. etc.. YES! at the beginning it is very painful!!! I cried out loud from dusk till dawn as I fell asleep... then I woke up, as if I don't want to move (thinking that I'd better be dead), I've been a paranoid that my parents would deny me, my friends would criticize me, or people would be talking about me and many many more... poor thing! Yes! I know that I'm so stupid in thinking or having an idea about those stuffs. But one light came upon and made me realized to get back on to the track and to continue playing the game. (i'm so lucky for having a wonderful sister) as days goes by, I've been picking up my shattered pieces and starting to stick it onto my self and collecting thoughts on how will I face, recourse and strengthen up my gameplay. one idea strucked my mind... that someone that we know above us has really a purpose, that's why he place that hole into my course. maybe it's a sign that I've been to fast in playing the game and already stepped up a lot of my playmates or maybe I'm to far enough and it's time for me to slow down and learn something in this particular area and that knowledge might come in handy on to the next course of the game. Well, I know that it's not enough for me to end this game, but with this thing that had happened to me, I had learned how to stand and to move back to my track with my head lifted up... in the first place, i have nothing to be ashamed of! isn't??? lastly, if something unusual or unplanned or something strange happened into your life... DON'T ASK WHY......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10393530-110667749654034138?l=smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/feeds/110667749654034138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10393530&amp;postID=110667749654034138' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110667749654034138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10393530/posts/default/110667749654034138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://smartandsnobbish.blogspot.com/2005/01/new-beginning.html' title='A New Beginning'/><author><name>expressiveguy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03192271723533295829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/266/3665/640/lukin2meyes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
