Today has got to be one of the hottest days of the year.
It's just hours away from 2008 :) We're gonna start ALL over again, the 1st day of the 1st month. Here we go?
Right now, I'm home alone. My brother has gone to the Curve for the countdown with his friends and well, my parents are probably caught in a jam fetching him (gahahah :D). I spent my day watching TV - well, mostly.
I smashed my fingers against the wall accidentally while trying to prevent something from falling. Gosh, I nearly broke them. Guess it's pretty normal, hurting myself I mean haha.
I wanna get outta the house, really wanna.
Today I was bored (yeah, what's new?), I decided to look through the cupboard of books since it was open - I don't know why it was but anyway yeah. I found this book called 'Being a Happy Teenager' by Andrew Matthews, hahah. If I remember correctly my dad's friend either lent it to us and totally forgot about it or gave it to us (most likely the first one :P) YEARS AGO.
So I read it, I mean why not? :D
not like I had anything better to do.
Here's a passage or two from the book which I thought was pretty uhm interesting?,
What Others ThinkYou probably got bored reading that, haha. The book comes with pictures! New Year's resolutions anyone? :)
Rule #1: Everyone won't agree with you.
Rule #2: It's okay
Rule #3: Everyone won't like you.
Rule #4: That's okay too. You won't die.
Do you care what other people think? Sure! We all do. We all want other people to think we are cool, smart, attractive and fun. But everyone is not going to like you. What do you do? Get over it!
Trying Too Hard
Have you ever wondered why everyone loves babies? It's partly because babies don't care whether you like them or not. Babies eat, scream, make noises and make smells, and they don't care.
Babies don't try to impress people. When you're a baby, you don't have to be cool or intelligent or sexy or smart.
Isn't it fascinating? Babies don't care what we think about them - and we love them for it.
There's something to learn from this. Be yourself. This doesn't mean you should be rude or selfish. It does mean there's such a thing as TRYING TOO HARD.
Don't Be Too Desperate ...
(just some examples, I just wanna cut this short. There's a lot to type you know :P)
.. What do we learn from this? Never put your life on hold for anybody. Live your life in the present. Stay busy. Don't hold your breath for anybody or anything.
If you are waiting for a boyfriend to call, or waiting for a response to a job application, or a cheque in the mail, get on with your life.
All this defies logical explanation - but you probably recognise this principle in your own life. While you are desperate for something or somebody, nothing happens.-
I think I'll just end here. Happy New Year, everyone! :)
and Happy Birthday, Iqbal
enjoy!
