It seems to me that there is a major break-up session going on this July. I can count with my one hand at least 5 of my friends are going through depression produced from the psychotic disease, Love. Love can be magic or perhaps tragic. Recently, after listening to Nat King Cole classic, L-O-V-E. I’ve a feeling that L-O-V-E has a new-found meaning to me…
Thus,
L is for the things I’ve Left behind
O is for the high expectation I’ve Over you
V is Very, Very ridiculous demand I’ve given in for you
E is Even more disappointed than anyone that I’ve ever love before...
Love, that was the end for me and you...

BlackJack 21
Black Jack 21 is a winning formula to succeed in life, at least in my life...
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it passionately.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged and live together at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams, don't have much in their life.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their past.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship but leave your betrayal and judgmental and materialistic friend without vengeance.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY- ONE. Spend some time alone.

My imaginary friend
There is an imaginary friend, whom basically lives among all of us. Thankfully, I discovered him two days ago when my friend, JB confides to me about his relationship problems. It comes as a shocking revelation as I’ve always imaging things have been going pretty well between the two of them, if not, a stable relationship where I can see labors of fruit. However, that’s only my imaginary friend’s wishful thinking. This imaginary friend chooses to perceive what he wishes to believe, not knowing the fact that the happiness on his face could be spurring of moment.
Our mind preconceives and develops what we see from the surface. We fail to realize that what we perceives could be delusions. We perceive briefly from a certain situation or expression, believing that if the person is rich, he’ll be happy. If the couples, who seem to be happily married, there should be no infidelity or disagreement…
The imaginary friend is me; he lives within me, inside all of us. If only we can get rid of our preconceptions and discriminating nature, then we are able to see the world clearly and not just by reducing the fumes coming out from the chimneys that remind us of the importance of global warming.
As Mister B once said;
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
Do not believe in anything because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything because it’s found written in your religious books or on the authority of your teachers and elders…
But only after observations analysis when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefits of one and all then accept it and live up to it.
I have come to my conclusion that don't envy someone else good fortune cause everyone have their ups and downs. For all you know, perception could also turn into deception…

Life can be beautiful even when it's not perfect...
My friend, WB recently meet up and tell me that he seem to be trying very hard to please his boyfriend and not becoming who he really are and that triggers me that I’ve always been struggling with a few major issues in my life, when I was 13, I’m a repulsive eater. I eat so much that my greatest achievement is carrying over 110kg of fats in my 43 inches school pant. Not to mention, of course the school pant have to be especially tailor made according to my "size". Then come my extraordinary unique Mariah-inspired voice, well, I'm a boy so when my voice sounds squeaky, it certainly makes a few impression and giggles among the girls, thinking why hasn't the voice breaks during the puberty, If it's not bad enough, I've a mole on my chin that you either recall it as Cindy Crawford or sadly to say the later Phua Chu Kang. After revealing all my flaws, which I am not ashamed of it. To this day, occasionally, there are times, people try to imitate the way I talk, commenting that I'm still fat even though I've lost 37kg, or asking me when I'm going to have a mole removal surgery following Enrique's footsteps. Let me tell you this:
Life can be beautiful even when it's not perfect...
Life is beautiful even when I'm not perfect...
If I had one chance to live my life again
I wouldn't make any changes
And if everything turns out
The way I hope it goes...
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see is what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm a real person
I know exactly where I stand
Being someone is hard,
Being yourself is harder
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm a real person
I know exactly who I am
And nothing is ever perfect
There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers
It wouldn't put my mind at ease
So I'll just keep on going
The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up
Trying to catch a falling star
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm a real person
I know exactly where I stand
Being someone is hard,
Being yourself is harder
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm a real person
I know exactly who I am
Well, this is who I am
Don't need you to understand
Cause I don't give a ****
Even when I'm not in love
Everything is just how it should be...
