Quote: LONELINESS

A man is known by the company he keeps they say. If it is so, then everyone is bound to have their baggage of loneliness with them as companions. Loneliness is not something that doesn't exist at all with any human being on earth. Every human being feels lonely in his life at some point or other. It's but natural to have such feelings, because that's what makes us all human and that is why we are as we are now.

If we shed some light on why we feel aloof or lonely at times, we would be very much astonished or even probably surprised by the results. We ourselves are responsible for ourself defined gloominess. This is because at times we really feel that we are uncared for or feel someone doesn't understand us.

Sometimes we over analyze real life situations and have this growing sense of self pity inside us. This feeling always gives us thoughts which picturise us always receiving the wrong end of the stick in life. The truth might not always be true if we touch our heart and see. It’s just that our expectations in life and from people around us or circumstances that we are facing, have got the better of us. Expectation is the silent killer which murders millions of mushy and time tested relationships. If there would have been no expectations from anyone, the world would have been a much better place to be. If there would have been no expectations, not many people would have had an aching heart and a lifelong grouse against theirs would have been better haves. If it wouldn't have been for unreasonable expectations not many couples would have divorced each other.

How to come out of expectations then? Good question. The answer is when you give something, don’t expect anything in return. When our mother gave birth to us, she never expected that we will give birth to her. She has just fulfilled her desire to raise a family and live for them. In the same way, let our actions make us live for ourself and let not expectation screw up the major portion of your lives. Let us have the freedom and will power to express our love, affection and longingness for people whenever we feel. Let us not restrict our freedom of expression just because he or she is not responding the way we want them to.

Well, all in all a little bit of loneliness is good for a self-analysis to keep a check over your actions. Introspection always makes you communicate with the innerself, but too much of introspection can make you scale the altitude of self pity. So show restrain at the right time.

movie night - "Gone with the wind"

As I was doing some research about Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. it occurs to me that maybe I should review some of those classic movies, there are lots of amazing things in it, the way people used to talk, tons of fabulous dresses, antique gentleman manners, beautiful views... so here I am today, with some spare time to kill, I choose "Gone with the Wind" to start with, it is hard to imagine that a 1939 movie (70 years ago, for god's sake) could be this much marvelous.

the one who laughs together with you


Maybe that title seems a little bit weird, what I meant is that it is quite a task to find someone who have the same sense of humour, the same kind of interests, the same background of knowledge as you.

There are times when you are watching a movie together, something you find so funny and worth laughing might not have the same reaction to others. I find myself in this kind of situation all the time. I can laugh thousands of times when watching "Friends" while my friends being silence at the same time. Or at times they are laughing at somehing that I have no clue of why. Compare to this, it seems much more easier for us to find someone who would share tears together with you, as the commen sense of tragedy is deep inside of us all.

So when friends ask me to recommend something like movies or music or even books, I always find it so difficult that I turn to recommend something classic like ancient stuff or something I know they have already seen before. I know, I know, I'm not suppose to be so unconcerned, but I have my excuse, the truth is I don't want to disappoint them, or more importantly, I refuse to have disappointment back to me from their feedbacks, what a great way to be retreatism!! I know!!

I can make a list of people whom I find amazing and willing to share thoughts with, which is not a long list at all. but whose list would turn out to be longer anyway, the searching of finding someone like that is just an endless process, and we can not ask anyone even our closest friends to be exactly the one, or think in a different way - lots of things out there which are only meant to be enjoyed alone.

beauty test: yoghourt for facial mask


There are always lots of yoghourt left since I bought the yoghourt-making-machine, most of the time I throw them away after one week, then last night it suddenly occured to me that why don't I put them on my face for a little massage, they should be good for skin, at least they could do the whitening things, right?? anyways, I had them on my face for about 15 minutes, then moved away before they get dry out, as for the feedback of my first yoghourt mask, honestly I didn't feel too much of a difference, accept for the oil thing on my face, I couldnot get rid of them only with water, so...wash with cleansing foam?? no... I just decided to allow them staying on my face for the whole night, yes, that's exactly what I did. I'm a lazy girl, aren't I??

so this is my very first experience with yoghourt mask, wasn't so good as I always imagined, but I decided to keep on doing this thing, who knows, maybe I will be able to be a little bit whiter after this winter. good luck to me.
