Chapter 256: Appreciating

Hi just in case you thought I have officially abandoned my blog for the sake of college, bla bla *inserts every single thing that has nothing to do with my life*, I'd like to tell you NO. I didn't manage to update because I had nothing to say and I couldn't fork out anything interesting in my life to blog. /cues sad music/ And since today is my off-day, I suddenly thought of something I wanted to blog for some time now but I always chucked it aside.

Look out the window (if you have no window, sucks to be you lololol im kidding.) and see the sun rays shining upon the trees and buildings. Watch the trees sway to the wind. You might think that these are not significant things in life but they actually are. You might curse the sun for being so undeniably scorching hot everyday you walk down the road, but what happens when it's raining? You curse at the rain as you remembered that you left your umbrella at home. Then, you want the sun back. People are selfish. They tend to yearn for something they do not get, or don't deserve to. Which brings me to my topic of the day. Appreciating.

It's true that people tend to notice the importance of something when they lose it. Screw the "People say “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone”. Truth is, you knew what you had… you just never thought you’d lose it." phrase seriously. If you really think that way, then screw you. It only means you were taking it for granted. And taking people or things for granted is such a sick and twisted thing to do. Nobody owes you anything, and nothing is yours forever.

So why not learning how to appreciate? Appreciate your parents' love, the people around you, the things they do for you by choice - and not by force, and your life. You didn't get what you like? Screw that. You deserve better. Appreciate what you have now. You didn't manage to score well in your first test? Screw it. You can definitely do better the next time round if you start putting in effort. Appreciate your marks, they let you know how much you need to work on. And also, you could be worse, some people might even be envious of your marks. Someone important decides to break ties with you? Screw him/her. You don't deserve people who give up on you easily. As ironic as it sounds, all this will help you appreciate more.

Like I said, the world doesn't owe you anything. Instead, YOU play an important role on this earth. People walk into your life willingly. And they decide to stay by choice. You don't pay them money to stay. And when people turn you down, don't rant or complain about the things they didn't do for you, instead think of everything else they did for you. Learn how to appreciate people's deeds and you will be happier.

And when you're down and sad because of a certain situation you're in, sure, you deserve the right to be frustrated and depressed. But don't let that sink you for a long time, because you also deserve the right to stand back up and be stronger than ever. You're tougher than you think. You're okay. You can do this. Life's a bitch sometimes but hey, you're way more than that.

Appreciate whatever you have now. Appreciate everything. I guess, as cliche as it is, everything in life is fated this way. So start appreciating. Be grateful of your life your parents gave you. Complaining and ranting is completely normal. Once you're finish with that, start opening your eyes and appreciate better things in life rather than lingering in that emotionally miserable bubble of yours. Always smile! Be happy. Influence people with positive vibes and you will live a happier life.



This goes out to everyone who is having a hard time now coping with an emotional roller coaster ride of what we call Life. And...this is also to myself. Whether or not to my past, my present or my future.




Eternally grateful for the sun, the rain, and you.

Who Diz?

Hi I'm Celine. No I don't expect you to know me - hence this tab. I don't expect myself to update this tab every other year either, so you don't have to ask my age, though you can probably guess my age if you are keen to stalk my whole blog lol. Anyway, I have trouble coming up with my bio as I don't want to sound self-absorbed but haaaaaaaaa in the end this is my blog, I am supposed to sound self-absorbed. I am married with three cats and four dogs. Did I get your attention now? Alright. For real though, I am currently still a student with a non-midlife existential crisis at the moment waiting for my results to be released which will determine a life or death situation aka will I eventually graduate or not? (p.s. ACCA students, I got your back. *gang sign*) I enjoy mocking and irritating people in my free time, but I also love playing tennis. I live for the satisfaction of sarcasm, but I also do enjoy a good cup of coffee to go with it. I sometimes p...

Chapter 315: Year End Review 2017

I know I haven't been diligent in updating this space even though there were times that I wish I did when I had something on my mind. Year end reviews have been something I do on a yearly basis so I don't wanna leave this out for 2017! I'll just merge this together with my life updates in this post. And as usual, I'm gonna use my instagram as a guide wtf I'm that lazy. 1. I Graduated and Became an ACCA Affiliate *Please bear with the super low quality pic I regret not bringing my DSLR okay?? This is something I feel extremely lucky about. Anything could have happened to my last paper. And I was intimidated from the stories I heard about failing ACCA, sometimes more than once. I took the leap of faith and just did it, at the same time giving room to myself for maximum 1 failure attempt. I can't believe I completed it without any failures, something I owe it to my lecturers, family and friends. I know it's not the end, and I have so many more things...

Chapter 314: This piece of shit

I have not posted something so raw in my blog before, but here goes nothing. We met on the court, started off as friends, tennis mates, nothing more. It's funny because prior to that, we always missed meeting each other. When I was there, he wasn't, vice versa. A few months later, we started talking to each other more, and the rest, as they say, is history. Side story though - I actually rejected him once because I wasn't sure if I was ready for a relationship, but he persisted on. I'm glad he did. He is the kind of guy who is witty without even trying, always making me burst out in laughter without fail. He is generous and helpful to everyone, even to strangers. But it's a different story after knowing him HAHAHA no la joking. I'm glad that we have the same interests, and the same kind of humor. We have an imperfect relationship, but he never once raised his voice at me. He taught me that love isn't merely spoken words, it's the actions that make ...
