MOM...

Here's to...who never gave up on me,

Here's to...who loved me despite the many times I didn't deserve,

Here's to...who toiled & sweat to give the comfort I have,

Here's to...who's always a step ahead to lead me, a step behind to encourage me,

Here's to...who showed me strength in my weakness,

Here's to...who saw beauty in my imperfections,

Here's to...who never expect a 'Thank You' despite been the person who deserve the most,

Here's to...who stood with me thro' all,

Here's to...who gave me life

Here's to 'MOM', most beautiful soul of all.

No gift in this world can ever compensate all that you have given me.

I cannot imagine what my life would have been without you by my side.

I know I can never be the best daughter...

But if I become half the woman you are,

I will know I did something right along the way....

I LOVE YOU MOM

Perfect one...

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can.

 

  

He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.

Being alive is a reason to be happy...

If you are alive, you have reason to be happy. If things are really bad, they can only get better. Everyone has a purpose on this planet and you can find yours. Somebody out there needs you and is thankful that they know you.....

MOCKINGJAY - My Homage

People wonder who I am,

Wonder what I'm made of,

Wonder of my very existence.

To many, I'm nothing more then just a bird born amidst tragedy.

But to my people, I'm freedom.

I'm the song, people are afraid to sing,

The voice within the silence,

The inspiration when hope seems to fade away,

I'm that flickering light in the darkest of night.

When man will be brought to their knees, crushed & burned,

I'll be the reason to stand up & fight,

The reason why they still hold on.

Someday when freedom reigns,

You will sing my song.

And every heart will echo to the sound of my voice,

A remembrance of what, all endured.

Yes! I'm the face of the rebellion,

Mother of your freedom…

Symbol of victory & unity.

I'm the MOCKINGJAY!!!

LIFE oh LIFE....

“If you were given a chance to re-live your life, what would you do??……”

We all have been asked & have asked this question to someone or the other. Back then, I never really gave a thought to it but would promptly reply….”I want to go back to the good old days of my childhood…or maybe go back & rectified the mistakes or regrets made” Ideally, childhood days are always the simpler times with no cares of the world to bow us down but now that I think of it, we all had the same share of struggles & joys in its own way.

Today as I sat down & ponder more on this thought. I realized I never want o re-live my life whatsoever. I had my share of joys, laughter & tears and I sure did a hell lot of mistakes back then. Despite all, I have not wish to re-do anything. Everything I did or did not do when I should, have brought me to where I am today & I wouldn’t trade for anything less. My Today will be another good old day tomorrow & someday I’ll look back & smile because it was life and I lived it.

It’s not like the life I have right now is perfect. It’s still the same maybe a little better or maybe even worse. Its hard to say when you wake up one day to find all things going your way & the next, you wake up feeling like the whole damn world is against you. You sit there thinking you’re never getting a break from the misfortunes….then somewhere along the lines things turn around & you realized life is not so bad after all. So, yeah….it’s a daily challenge to live the best way I can, make the most of what life throws in my path.

Life sometimes can be nothing but ironic. Problems will creep up when you least expect. People you thought would never turn their back on you will do. The loved ones are always taken away too soon. You will have your heart broken maybe, over & over. The perfect life you hope for can turn into your worst nightmare. Yes, Life is never easy, that doesn’t mean it’s hard either. It just has a little bit of everything & maybe that’s the beauty of the whole concept of life. 

I always like to believe “Everything happens for a reason, a BETTER reason and that everything have its own time” We just need to have a little more faith & hope for the best. Nobody has it easy, everybody have problems & we’re all fighting our own war some way or the other. And at the end of the day no matter what, it always comes right down to how we see life – Our “Attitude towards life”. We can either sit there & creep about how unfair life is or we can learn to let go of some things in life, click our heels, pat our backs, pick-up the pieces and move on. It’s easier said then done…but then again its not impossible.

So, here’s to all of us…. Life goes on - not always the way we had envisioned it would be, but always the way it’s supposed to be. Remember, we’re never too old, never too bad, never too late, and never too sick to start a new beginning. Maybe we can’t choose the music life plays for us, but we can always choose how we dance to it.  Take a chance, make mistakes…No one is perfect. That is how we all grow. Don’t give up on Life; after all we just got one to live. Make it worth. CHEERS!!!

Life is Life...it goes on!!

Sometimes Love just isn't enough. Sometimes we need to let go of something that mean a world to us. Not because we want to, but because we need to. But Life will keep going with or without them. Life doesn't stop for you or for anyone else.

Life is Life. It's hard but there are those amazing moments that makes you who you are. Don't sit around crying when you let someone go. Someday you'll be OK again. There is always a reason why some people don't make it to our future.

The memory of the those "amazing moments" is what we will carry as we move on...Letting go doesn't mean giving up... it means accepting that some things weren't meant to be...that you should move on and treasure the memories.
