and finally the long awaited weekends is here!
been stuck at home since 5 pm today.
stuck on books.




been blog hopping for like the past 5 minutes.
saw this blog of a friend's friend that's titled the irony of life.
this title struck me, had me thinking for quite a moment.

Had we always presume life to be good, thats why when things get harder, we say that it's ironic?



personally,
at least till now, im leading quite a good life and dont really expect it to be any much better
(perhaps just an aspect of it which i really dread to have)

given our age and years living thus far,
what have we got written in our book to say life's difficult?
in the journey of life,
i would say we're still greenhorns/freshmen.

many more years await,
and we've gotta just keep on facing it head on and carrying on with it.
full of ups and downs, that's a component of life.
it just aint right that we starting screaming

"ahhs dammit! life's running me down!"

every moment we're met with some sort of an obstacle.


i mean, yeah, it's natural reaction, of course
nobody will argue against that,
but much complain don't really provide remedies to the problem, isn't it?
we've just got to learn along the way.


but thus far, experiences i had taught several really important lessons.

*No one's perfect.

simple as it may sound, but how true it is.
for the fact that we're imperfect, we do make mistakes as we journey on.
at times, effects are devastating.
at times, it doesn't really hurt.

but no matter what,
we can't blame a man forever for his mistakes, for he is imperfect.
and perhaps, that's what make us human.

without imperfection, how are we able to see the perfection within one?


seeing this,
forgive and forget was then re-enforced within me.



**There will seldom be a situation in life you can satisfy both sides at the same time.


a quick and easy example.
You're caught in an argument between 2 good friends.
how many times had you been able to really break them apart and appeased both sides at the same time?
*laugh*


that goes the same for our normal daily lives as well.
often we're torn apart in between our desires, our visions and our goals.
and often we've tried to tell ourselves we'll be able to attain and sustain both.
but time to time, we're told straight in the face by life that

"look dude, it's just not as easy as you think".


but then again,
many times we're just unable to let go of either sides.
it takes a whole lot of courage and effort to let go of one.
what other choices do we have, other than to prioritise?



however, bad as it may sound, once we set our priorities out
then we know what we really want in life,
and many times we're often grateful than not for doing that, don't we? (:
just think of this,


if you had chosen your studies over your gf/bf a year ago, will you be how sweet you are today?

if you had let go of your personal commitments over school work 2 years ago, would you have great friends you had today?



subconciously,
we've been doing so many things which we had never realised how great/important they were.


You may think life's a task,
but the little suprises it had in store for us make it all worthwhile.
