I'd catch a grenade for you.

No time to update.
As is like like like like tomorrow tomorrow.
10 10 10 was an interesting date.
I wonder what will happen on the days that follow.



I find this song so catchy.
Yes, I know the lyrics are corny.
Even though Bruno Mars isn't my cup of tea,
Listening to this song makes me happy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny how you tend to put God aside when things are going well.
But you pray desperado prayers when your world turns into hell.

You ask him where he was the whole time,
The shadow proves the sunshine.

You.

Eh
Why you oh.
Tiba-tiba like that.
Ask me la if you want to know something.
I have no idea what's going through your mind.
Please?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When shit happens,
it all comes out at the same time.

You - Switchfoot

There's always something 
In the way 
There's always something 
Getting through 
But it's not me 
it's You 

Sometime's ignorance 
Rings true 
But hope is not in 
What I know 
Not in me 
It's in You 

It's all I know 

And I find peace 
When I'm confused 
I find hope when 
I'm let down 
Not in me 
But in You 

I hope to lose myself 
For good 
I hope to find it in the end 
Not in me 
It's You 
It's all I know

This part of my life. This part right here. I call it growing up.



"Smile"

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...

If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just...

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...

If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of Michael Jackson.
But this song got to me.
Its been awhile since I've listened to it.
Funnily enough, awhile also since I've smiled genuinely.


What Sam L Radaha posted on Fb recently woke me up.
Maybe its time to invest in myself for a change.
Maybe its time to appreciate life a little more.
Maybe its time to be content.
Maybe its time to thank God for his blessings.
Maybe its time to,
Smile? :)


For someone with such a messed up life.
MJ certainly wrote a brilliant song.
But then again, maybe that's why he did what he did.
He wanted to smile. 


Reminds me of The Pursuit Of Happyness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-Christopher Gardner- (The Pursuit Of Happyness - 2006)


"It was right then that I started thinking
About Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence. 
And the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
 And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? 
That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue
And maybe we can actually never have it. 
No matter what
How did he know that?" 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So let me ask you.
Are you happy?

Jon.

Why its you.

You are the one which stands out among the rest






You're not afraid to be yourself



Your smile makes my day






You tolerate my variety of moods and stupid ideas


 You never take advantage of my forgetfulness





You're patient





You're beautiful





You're my best friend





You're confident of yourself





You've got a warm heart






And that's why




Here's the problem.


Who. Are. You?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The world laughs at you for being different.
I say you laugh at them for being normal.

Hmm. Food for thought. Really?

Tried this personality quiz I found while going around the blogs.
Interesting.

Your view on yourself:
 
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
 
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
 
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
 
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
 
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
 
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:
 
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
 
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
 
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
 
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Jon.
