I was four when I started learning Music. I still remember my first vocal class where I tried telling my mother that I can never get it right. Furthermore, I am glad she made me stick with it because she already knew what makes me happy even before I did. And eventually I realize, that everyone has that point in life where we hit crossroads, had the bunch of bad days and there are different ways to deal with it. And the way I dealt with it was I just turned to Music.

I watched the rain stream across the window in little rivulets with sunshine coming through. For me, the rain has always been an emotional thing that makes me very happy. However, living with the fact that it will never last forever breaks my heart. The slow falling rain reminds me of the time when my father and I would just watch the rain until it stopped. It has been a warm memory ever since.

Memory lane is not a road I like to go down. But that's the only way to remember not to forget.

My blood boils when I see people going back to the same person who hurt them like a million times.

My words always get me into troubles. And if not my words, it is my facial expressions.

One wonderful lesson I’ve learned is that the life will never become perfect whatever you may do. As we have always been told, nothing is perfect anyway. But I wonder, if it did, then there will be no more need to live further. Having mastered all the lessons of the fifth class, why be in it anymore? So, this life is actually not planned to satisfy, and it does not satisfy. If it did, then there will be no progress and nothing more to live for. Life is planned to allure first and dissatisfy at last. Allure, so that we may enter into with zest and hope; and dissatisfy, so that we may not like to settle in it forever, but seek other higher forms of life. So, troubles keep us from falling, they keep us from being blown away, they are counterweights in life to keep balance. Troubles are like soap and water, without you don’t keep pure and fresh. The baby dislikes soap and water-bath, resists and kicks, and so we do with troubles. Like a tonic, they provoke thoughts, provoke actions and promote further growth. So, life in a way teaches us that the will of destiny is not that we should be free from troubles and sorrows, but be clean, fresh, active and ever-growing.

Ranting about her being hard to understand? Wait until you lose her. You will clearly understand, what an effortless power a woman has!

Recently thought of deleting my Facebook account and start using Twitter, but realized it's not easy. Facebook has become like the boyfriend I no longer like but scared to dump because I've invested so much time in the relationship.

Screw friendship. I need more enemies. At least they admit they don't like you.

Sometimes I think of rebuilding my friendship with old friends. But at the same time, there's a reason why we fell off. Shit happens, but life's good.
