The life of DevilCp

Lost...

2009-05-01T04:15:00.002+08:00

When will be the day I'll have the confidence enough to do all the things I'm able to....?
When will be the day I can have enough money to bring my love one for some holidays....?
When will be the day I can earn more money to carry on with my plans of settling down....?
When will be the day I can really go for a chill without having worries and troubled minds....?
When will be the day I can really utilize my skills and knowledge to those idiots that things can be done in lots of better ways...?

I hope I know... But I don't know when.... I can only just keeping walking forward.... Just simply lost in some ways....

Deepest fear

2009-05-01T03:27:00.001+08:00

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darknes, that frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine as children do.
It's not just in some of us, it is in everyone.
And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

念伤之感

2009-04-20T18:13:00.003+08:00

嗜血的老虎 ..它.. 是否让你心慌
悲伤从嘻嘻哈哈又带来希望
害怕着一层接一层的发怒海浪
战争的苦难.. 谁能忘
是历史上的遗憾
那最珍惜的伙伴.. 却随着曲终人散
人类的感情.. 只会被那利益冲淡
为此而迷茫.. 他疯狂.. 他内心再喊
仇视的目光.. 他不管.. 他觉得很烦

谁人的歌唱.. 很抽象
能带领无知绵羊走入光的方向
谁人的烛光.. 很灿烂
能使到无限黑暗化为白色荧光
谁人的勇敢.. 如太阳
能协助无辜百姓仿佛进入天堂

英雄的模样.. 很慈祥.. 却牺牲死亡
所受的背叛.. 很孤单.. 他从此绝望

时间它过的很慢长.. 人们所留的血汗
也已变成 ..了.. 一种可笑的信仰。。。。。

-念伤之感-

这只是我有感而发的一篇文章，请留下意见哦！！

人生如戏...

2009-04-15T02:41:00.006+08:00

庙口的街角,还在演着陌生熟悉的歌仔戏
看戏的人也只有零星的聚集,辛苦的似乎需要更多的鼓励

嘿人生如戏,每一出戏里总会有一个自己
就算只剩一个人也要演下去,像一出没有对手的对手戏

一瞬间闪过好多画面,我还想再看到你熟悉的脸
我感觉的到我对你将永远永远的思念,为何你离我远去
又为何你没有消息,是否可以不再为了你哭泣

我想你可能已经全都忘记,但我还在缅怀你我的过去
虽有很多风雨,我存在记忆体
戏还没演完,你就要离去

一瞬间闪过好多画面,我还想再看到你熟悉的脸
我感觉的到我对你将永远永远的思念,为何你离我远去
又为何你没有消息,是否可以不再为了你哭泣

我身骑白马走三关,改换素衣回中原

我在梦中找无你,我的心已经跟你去
不知影何时返来我身边,已经不在

我想你可能已经全都忘记,但我还在缅怀你我的过去
虽有很多风雨, 我存在记忆体
戏还没演完, 你就要离去

还有没有时间能继续下去,不要到最后我还在这里
还在相信,这是我们的戏,而你是我的唯一

I have things to say too...

2009-01-17T18:42:00.005+08:00

Whether or not, I'm not betraying anyone that's my way and it had already been chosen. All the things about the poetry is just a short story of what had happen. That's why the title is known as "Remained Concealed". Why "Concealed"? Because there is 0% possibility of an relationship going to happen. If you think that by making yourself gone will makes me better, You are truly wrong. You are only making me feeling worst and miserable.. And it wouldn't be fair to me. If you are that grateful to me, you should be cherishing me as your friend. I'm a straight person, I don't hide my feelings maybe thats the disadvantage cuz you get me all wrong... very wrong. On relationship issues, I do things in a more mature way.

DevilCp/Edwin is a person who loves doing things for his love ones unconditionally. This is how he feels happy and contended.

There are times "They" ask why I treated you so nice, my reply back is I treat you like my own blood sister. Else what can I do more??

Haizz... I really becomes an idiot now... Thanks...

麻坡的情歌---改詞

2009-01-17T14:12:00.005+08:00

詞: 葉覲郕, 黃明志

我不要你的憐憫來挽救這脫軌的神經

你的笑帶著同情却搖著頭嘆息

幻滅的夢境裡我盡力摸索愛情的真理

我解開了猪籠繩裡的禁忌

去爭取這相愛的權利

兩個人的愛默默在哭泣來告訴你們相愛的勇氣

蝴蝶飛出了神秘叢林面對大雨的突襲

一起走過盛開花季。

兩個人的愛默默在哭泣來告訴你們相愛的勇氣

最後決定放棄只能無奈面對這感情

我依然很愛你

這份愛沒有邏輯變成了你離去的原因

沒有人願意接受相信剩下我在努力

不想背叛自己卻一直不斷被他們唾棄

我會繼續直到我的抵抗力

足夠面對可畏的話語

鴛鴛被人離棄在高牆另一頭痛苦的悲鳴

只要你相信我一定堅持到底

Just some thoughts

2009-01-17T07:18:00.004+08:00

Just reach home not long, having a few thoughts while I were still in Pasir Ris.. A lots of "should I this or should I not" blah blah blah lol. Thinkings like should I go for upgrading my TKD Dan to 4th grade, should I ended Teddie's Cafe to look for better prospect, should I leave Singapore and take my friend's offering in overseas.... and lots more..... Really Stress like hell...

And to the adorable "one" who "might" think that Im over lapping your space... I'm not really sure if your edited post is refering to me or not.. as long as anyone who cares for you might also feel that you might be shooting them (arh I'm hit!!! Medic!!! Medic!!! LOL)... I can only understand that I send four message;

1st. ohayo blah blah blah...( late morning greeting as in Japanese.) 11:57 am

2nd. XXA is expanding! Lol. 4:49pm

3rd. Hmmm u busy for the whole day? If yes just let me know... 5:50 pm

4th. What happen oh? U totally don't reply at all. 7:18 pm

Equ formula = Greetings ---> Good News ---> Questions ---> Worried

worst... You remove my link....T.T wu wu wu... How can I not be SAD.. LOL

Your question in CBOX : "What can happen to me?" My Answer Here = NOTHING, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW BAD THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN.... (touch wood touch wood.... Baka Baka Baka!! >_!!!)

Its true that sometimes over concerning for one person may cause hasser to him or her, as I said it can be fine tune by just telling him or her or me (begin extra wa ha ha) with a proper manner. Sometimes I temp to over concerning for people too, LOL. Its only normal cuz we are merely just humans ha ha ha. Sometimes I do stupid things too, like this post, sound a bit stupid... wa ha ha.. But at least my actions show that I care, with that I'm able to withstand whatever it comes.

Now its my turn to said: "Don't take it to heart" LOL. I believe in you that you can take care of yourself well enough. So do take care and smoke less please!!!

last but not least, your reply on sms is needed still!!!

chilling out to sleep

Show all

Its just another day

2009-01-15T13:04:00.004+08:00

When i look at the mirror, "OH GOD, I'm a Panda!! " Having a very bad headache too, cause haven't been sleeping at all. taken about two pills of super extra strength panadol to suppress the pain. Not to worry as im able to hang on till at bight Not having a good day last night, so hope that things turn out just fine for me today, I don't really ask for more.

I'm prepare to smile again, cuz thats the way I am. Rather keep all the solo sadness to oneself thats for sure.

Later in the day I'll try to upload some picture of my drink that will be feature in some magazine for valentine day. Its called Lovers Fusion. I have plenty of ideas for new drinks, but it will only release from time to time... Can't help it, cuz I only have two hands..

Time to prepare for work. Its another day indeed. Hope that today sales will be good. For those who reads my blog, do come down to support Teddie Cafe (express branch) @ Pasir Ris Town Park. Will do my best to make you a drink of a day.

Everyone deserve a good drink!

Remained Concealed

2009-01-15T03:41:00.007+08:00

She tells herself everyday to stop begin sad
Because she thinks she'll end up hurt
But something in her just keeps pushing
Something keeps whispering "it could work"

He sees the pain that she goes through
He can hears it well in her voice
He loves her more than ever
But it is not his choice at all

She thinks about her ex-boyfriend
The one that she's recently over with no reason
She decide given up on that relationship
But still seeking the truth of ending

He knows about her ex-boyfriend
And did all to help dig out the truth
But he can't help the way he feels
Yet mainly for the sake of her

She appreciate what he done for her
More then anyone could really do
Her eyes with tears as he wipe away with his hand
Never a guy clear so much of her precious tears

He stay till morning to accompany her
Just to make sure she feels better
He cherish and enjoy the moments with her at all times
which he never forgets the warm comforts within

She then gets the truth that were unknown to her
precious tear of pearls start dripping off her face
She still thinks she's the main fault of all
But she never really done any wrong at all

He has a girlfriend long for red carpet
Which he don't wish to betray or hurt any
His feelings for both are truthful that can't be measure
Its fate twisted him to make options between two

She knows that this is a big risk
After all he is her friend
But what about what she feels inside
she knows it doesn't work out in the end

He knows that they're just friends
Which is why he kept his feelings in for so long
He wanted to tell her sooner
But because of her ex-boyfriend it always felt wrong

She knows how hard it was for him to tell
And she just can't commit to anyone yet
After all her mind is all about her ex-boyfriend
Plus she doesn't want to do anything she'll regret

He suppose to be happy to be able to ease her mind
Yet it turn out to be heartbroken night
His using his sleepless night and tears to complete this poetry
Just want her to knows how he feels

He loves being around her
And she can't shake how he makes her feel
They are two close friends
But their relationship must remained concealed

a poetry story composed by DevilCp

你不是真正的快樂

2009-01-15T01:25:00.003+08:00

人群中哭着你只想变成透明的颜色
你再也不会梦或痛或心动了
你已经决定了你已经决定了
你静静忍着紧紧把昨天在拳心握着
而回忆越是甜就是越伤人
越是在手心留下密密麻麻深深浅浅的刀割
你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳
这世界笑了于是你合群的一起笑了
当生存是规则不是你的选择
于是你含着眼泪飘飘荡荡跌跌撞撞地走着
你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳
你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯完全的愈合
我站在你左侧却像隔着银河
难道就真的抱着遗憾一直到老了然后才后悔着
你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳
你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯完全的愈合
我站在你左侧却像隔着银河
难道就真的抱着遗憾一直到老了
你值得真正的快乐
你应该脱下你穿的保护色
为什么失去了还要被惩罚呢
能不能就让悲伤全部结束在此刻
重新开始活着

If someone can really understand how I feels....
Speechless feelings!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little mess up

2009-01-13T08:31:00.005+08:00

Well its a bright new day today, and its my off day. Planned to go K-box to chill out a bit but guess that it has to be cancel. Somehow somethings caught in the way... Not having much mood on doing others things. Maybe this is just another day wasted. Haven't been sleeping well too, lots of thoughts pop out just like comic dialogs in my head. There are times that I wish I could just run away from all, but can't.. Cause life couldn't been so selfish or I'm been tie down with too much responsibility, feeling heavier each breath day by day.

I see myself always been able to help others to solve their problems, but why can't I really do that for my own. Feeling a bit mess up, what have I been doing recently. Cant find a place where I really belong to.. Should I accept my friend's offer to go overseas.. I really don't know.... Still I don't bare to be apart with my love ones again.

Never less I still bring smiles on my face to everyone I know or meet everyday without fail. Indeed, whatever written here is just my own problems. You might never know a smile could eventually make others a good day.

I need more plaster.

2009-01-13T01:02:00.005+08:00

It does hurt, but guess that its really worth it... Don't ask why, I really don't know. I not even thinking when I'm doing it.

Back to blogging

2009-01-11T16:47:00.003+08:00

Sorry to all my readers, Been slightly lazy to blog for a while. Getting busier now a days, but never less I try to post more often.

My Choice

2008-12-30T20:17:00.003+08:00

My choice of beer today, Heineken (drinking with Stanly).

Everything is by choice not chance
always be happy, sing and dance
no matter what is the situation?
smile alike having a celebration.

Sometimes problems do come
but choose to smile some
it helps a lot to get a solution
as I find is the best option.

That is the way journey should be
if not trouble-free it won’t be
make it easy and interesting
enjoy all you have everything.

Just relax, chill at each occasion
get the bottom of every problem
do the best you can all time
rest is always with the faith of Goddess.

Twisted away

2008-12-26T18:34:00.004+08:00

Ahead the new year, I'm trying to make up my mind on certain things... Sometime, no matter how well you planned or follow up on things, it still get twisted away.... Why why why? I really don't know.

People around me always thought that I'm cheerful, Cause I like to bring smile whenever I go. But my another side, not much people really know...

ah... blah blah blah..... sigh..

MTV of Ayumi Hamasaki - GREEN PV

2008-12-12T04:25:00.003+08:00

The shooting is in china, and the whole song is strongly dedicated to China. That's why it sounds the way it does. The music is classically Chinese and not Japanese, although she still sings it in the Japanese language. Friendship of the two countries Indeed.

Free Arnold's Chicken!!

Product packaging.

2008-12-12T01:36:00.004+08:00

Did some packaging for the face mask that I'm selling on my blog shop. The products that I carried, can be found anywhere anyplace. I believe that the only things that keeps customer coming back is not just on providing good services itself, the display/packaging also plays a big part in it. It don't have to be very fancy, just simple and nice will do enough.

Raining days

2008-12-12T01:32:00.001+08:00

Self reinvention...

2008-12-02T03:15:00.005+08:00

I've been planning to "reinvent" my self, however me being who I am, I always have to analyze a decision before I make it. I've had these "reinvention" spurts before, but none has seemed this drastic or so personal.

It's as if I've reached a point in my life where I just need to be myself completely, without holding back, without regret, without fear and you know the rest. Something that runs through my mind is, am I being selfish? The change I am planning entails the dismissal and cutting off of a lot of negativity in my life.

I used to put up with the negativity because I always saw the positive within that negative, however I've reached a point where I've chosen to not be a caretaker any longer. I'm planning for a new style, a new outlook, a new attitude but the same heart. However,thinking about it, is there anything really new that comes out of oneself, or is it just something that has been held back or dormant? Well, only time will tell what I come up with.

Unclear ramblings.

2008-11-26T19:30:00.004+08:00

I feel that my brain's overloaded with questions and thoughts these past week. My subconscious is working hard even in my dreams. I feel that there are so so so so so many things that I don't know still. And the things that I think I know may also be so limited and it makes it hard for me to proceed forward .

In a quest to be a better person, these obstacles along the way jar my stance and now I need to rethink about all the previous plan made. Some make sense, some doesn't make sense...I hunger for the truth path, hunger for guidance to tell me what I'm supposed to do.

In this life where truth is bent and reality can have a zillion faces, I feel lost in some ways. These don't count the inner battles that one has to face in order to tackle one's own weaknesses and negative sides. Thus I'm raising the white flag of peace in order to have time to clear everything out, because I can't see clearly amidst this battle and questions and thoughts.

This may be one of my "unclear" ramblings. It's hard for me to explain the details when I myself don't know them clearly. Maybe someday when I get enlightenment, I'll be able to digest all.

Panda on plane as passenger??!!

2008-11-26T19:00:00.006+08:00

Children see, children do.

2008-11-26T13:19:00.002+08:00

Now these days, children tend to follow what they see of adult doings. So please lead them by doing the collect ways. Its everyone's duties to lead to a better world with loves.

I smile along the way.

2008-11-25T21:26:00.004+08:00

A smile is for every occasion
it’s a beginning of every celebration.

There’s power in every smile
it makes you happy for a while.
Takes you to another world
where you feel happy and whole.

A hearty smile is a happy smile
as it makes you merry and fine.
So create a smile brighter
it’s contagious and healthier.

Make your smile more beautiful
and dwell in happiness to be cool.

Decision...

2008-11-23T07:45:00.001+08:00

decision making can have the great impact on your life

decision is like playing with chances

you get it or you don't

simple as that

however no matter which one you ended up with, you gotta be prepared for it

disappointment or amazement?

Always I laugh.

2008-11-20T17:19:00.000+08:00

Always I laugh, I chill
smile and do what I will.

I don’t see and think
what the world sense
as I do what I wish for
and never have I griped.

I am not a grumble person
I love what I have little some
and feel happy for everything
since I desire to be a noble being.

Blog Life Goes On.

2008-11-20T12:22:00.003+08:00

Well, my blog shop "Hana Murasaki Mise" already start putting things up for sale. Will be adding more range this coming one or two weeks. So do feel free to take a look.

Falling Sick!!!

2008-11-15T20:59:00.001+08:00

After the trip back from KL.... I'm falling sick!!! argh..... hate it.

Love's on the platter.

2008-11-10T06:02:00.004+08:00

The never ending struggle to find love: In a society filled with judgment and hypocrisy , it is no surprise that people have a hard time finding real love. I have a few questions; have you ever been in love? Are you still with the person you love? If no, what happened?

Nowadays there are so many outlets to "find" the path to love. However, it seems we are moving away from face to face interaction. With the unfortunate availability of such online sites as myspace, facebook, friendster etc, it seems people have become dependent on them to approach others in romantic courtship. Don't get me wrong, it is much easier to interact individuals through the internet. But, does that not harm your social character. To me, it seems the more we rely on the internet to interact with people, the harder it is to interact in person. Online interaction is just not the same as real world face to face conversation. Can it possibly be that society has made us less confident that we subject ourselves to living a life through photo shopped images, and over stylized websites. When will we be comfortable enough to actually go up to that guy or girl and let them know you're interested in them and not have to worry about them judging you?.

I know I may seem like I'm talking about a thousand things at once, however these are just things that race through my mind. For instance, when you meet someone online, they tell you that they're really into you. But then when it comes time to meet in person, things just aren't the same anymore. I say this with a smile on myself, but don't we kind of set our self up for disappoint in a sense? As of late, I've noticed and learned that love, it does exists, but is harder to find online. However, it's not so easy to find love in the real world, given that people are so judgmental.

Life's a struggle

2008-11-10T05:54:00.001+08:00

Life's a struggle 日子还要过
品尝喜怒哀乐之后又是数不尽的troubles
Everyday 有多少问题要去面对
有多少夜痛苦烦恼着你无法入睡…

Moody days

2008-11-08T18:46:00.003+08:00

Something had been missing. Not sure what is it... But been feeling low moral since these few days..

Worst for today.. I'm the type of person that will fire back if I isn't happy or heard things that I don't like to, but instead in the meeting with my partner today, I just chose to be quiet... Tired.. If he really understand other's hard work, he wouldn't be blah blah blah so much. I'm pissed and boiling but just don't want to say anything. Anger Management.... maybe..

Reserved a long (three joining together) table for Ham, for a liquor drinking session, just hope that I wont get drunk. lol.. Shona the first to be sited, now Boon and Andy just reached too.. Just hope that later i can feel better when blending in with them. A branch of Jokers!

kicking moody mood away.

About My Attitude.

2008-11-04T04:31:00.005+08:00

What you deem is everything
No one can change your thinking
Try and think the entire time positive
It’s always good to be affirmative

Only good are liked by all
Keep in mind to never fall
Forever and a day rise in life
No matter how hard to strive

Because it’s all about attitude
How you live is your certitude.

When there is a problem, there is a solution.

2008-11-03T01:48:00.002+08:00

There’s no problem without a solution there’s nothing without imagination every person thinks first and view make a mental picture and produce.

With every difficulty there’s ease for every effort there’s expense so just be assertive and work hard every problem has its own gift of reward.

Success is just like a dream, uncertain....

2008-11-02T05:28:00.005+08:00

Success is like a dream which is never certain Those who don’t fancy have eyes in some curtain They cannot visualize and see their victory As they just don’t think of any uncertainty.

Such people live in the closed doors Where they don’t really see the scores They leave everything to fortune and fate exactly they don’t believe in self and fail.

But those who’re noble trust their spirit Work hard, never expect and always hit.

Lalala. Previously of mentioning of posting my blog shop link! Here it goes " http://hanamurasaki.blogspot.com/ ".

You may not be seeing any things up to sell yet, we are still pending and deciding on the ranges, types of products to put up. Not just that, we are doing survey on the product pricing, in order to have a reasonable and affordable selling price. Also will be targeting some genuine branded stuff which import from other countries which seems to be "cheaper" in a sense.

Those who are interested to advertise or selling their items, can contact us too, we would be gladly to help. I had also added some really really nice piano pieces from Yiruma in my imeem playlist " Piano Dreamz ". So do enjoy your stay there. That is all for the moment.

My Vision of Love...

2008-10-26T19:08:00.004+08:00

To the world you may be just one person,
but to one person you may be the world.
Love is like heaven, but it can hurt like hell.
Love, true love, is that which can give the most
without asking or demanding anything in return.

It doesn't take a reason to love someone,
but it does to like someone. You don't love
someone because you want to, you love someone
because you are destined too. It's because you
fall in Love with them, that you then try to
find a reason, but you always come up with
the answer, No reason!

When they asked me what I loved most about life,
I smiled and said you.

To be or not to be, the answer lay within your heart. I am who I am to be by your side. Don't have to ask why, Cuz I'm always here to protect my loves one, till the last day of my life. As long as I'm needed, I'll be there. As then, come what may.....

DevilCp thinkings..... Distinct people..... Discrete thoughts.....

2008-10-25T07:20:00.001+08:00

Born in the same world by same creator

multiple thinking and different orator

Distinct people have discrete thoughts
it’s really hard to find and make out
who is right and who is incorrect
so we try often to judge and select

But everyone is different and unique
have their own way of thinking
at times what I like is hated by numerous
and what I dislike is adorned by hundreds.

It’s very difficult to make up our mind
also to accept diverse humans and combine
that we’ve to live with the poles apart
and make our life meaningful easy not hard.

Is it a bird...? No, it's a window cleaner (spiderman).

2008-10-23T23:29:00.004+08:00

A five-star hotel in China dressed its window cleaners as Spiderman in an effort to avoid disturbing guests. Shanghai Sheraton Hotel says they wanted to minimize the affect of the week-long cleaning. "Nobody wants to see a person suddenly appear outside their window, so we thought of dressing them as movie characters, which should be fun and harmless," said a hotel spokesman.
The hotel says they were not expecting the Spiderman cleaners to attract so much attention. Many guests have even asked to have their photos taken with them.

We are just merely Humans

2008-10-20T00:44:00.003+08:00

Like others I do mistakes
sometimes I am at fake
hardly ever I am virtuous
otherwise I am useless.
Like others I blame
very frequently I claim
that I am a human
I slip up often.
Like others I justify
and uphold to try
I am good also bad
I am happy besides sad.
I admit I am at fault
I accept I have flaws.
Cause thats jut me.

Becoming someone to be ownself.

2008-10-19T21:50:00.000+08:00

We all aspire and desire to become something and someone.
Who is special and unusual not the same something else which is impressive.
Who is not like others and unlike for becoming a different being we always try.
We strive till end to make identity our name notable and remarkable to create our self.

What we see...

2008-10-19T17:07:00.002+08:00

What we see is not always lie,
but the whole of beauty lies in eyes.

What we hear is not always ordinary,
but our voices are unusual and funny.

What we feel is not all the time good,
but constantly we’re elegant or rude.

What we learn is not always we remember,
but the experiences make us think and lead further.

Life is just like a whirwind, so where will i land....

2008-10-19T14:24:00.003+08:00

So, life has been anything but dull. From dealing with self internal conflict, to accepting who I am, escaping from judgement, living a life of freedom, it seems I've embarked on yet another adventure. It may or may not seems to be something you can relate to but, LIFE does change, everyone does. I have been keeping myself busy working on new things or ways, expanding my scope of knowledge and have actually been focused as of late. I really have been keeping my self on a very optimistic note especially through all these financial scandals. But, I looke forward to sharing myself, what I do, and where I plan to go with my life..

I belive smilling will make me win, somehow.

2008-10-19T14:04:00.001+08:00

Every instant, all the time,
I carry always a smile
and make a lead ahead
as joy is what I wish to get.

Every person has a problem
but I have a different opinion
I think good is every trouble
because it educates endurance.

I don’t want to get lost in the flock
I am also part of the people and host.
so I don’t fear I only walk with grin
as I know smiling will make me win.

Creating a Shortcut to restarting Xp

2008-10-17T22:46:00.002+08:00

You can restart a Windows XP Pro and Home machine easily by creating a shortcut with following path. (Assume you installed Windows XP on your C: Partition) "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00" -r is for restarting the computer. -f is to force close all programs without saving. -t 00 is used to restart in zero seconds. i.e. as soon as you D.Click on the shortcut. You can log off from a Windows XP Professional or Home edition by running "C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -l -f -t 00". Also you can shutdown a Windows XP Home or Professional edition by running "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00". You always have to turn from the CPU after running this command. (Same with AT and ATX powered machines.) If you want to turn down power of ATX machine automatically, run "c:\windows\system32\tsshutdn.exe 00 /POWERDOWN /DELAY:00" This is used to turn off a server. Even though your computer will be
shutdown completely, this whole operation will take 30 seconds to finish. Even though you don't have networked computers attached to your computer, this works.

The Rose

2008-10-16T21:59:00.003+08:00

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

What is life to you?

2008-10-16T17:49:00.002+08:00

What is life to you?

The philosophical answer that lets me think for hours to reply lays here.....

To me...

Life is living it to the fullest.
I don’t want to put these in order of importance, neither one I could afford to lose in life.
Friendship and family is important to me. I enjoy laughter and happiness. what would the world be without it. Making someone smile is priceless. What a good feeling that is.

Life is also about people.
No matter how accomplished or satisfied you are, it means nothing if you've no one to exchange a smile with, no one to share the moment.

Life is also about love.
Not any specific kind of love, but all love.
A stranger holding a door for you; sharing a cup of coffee with an old friend; a long romantic embrace; and all the unclassifiable love in between.

However you find it, however it finds you, it should be cherished and appreciated, never looked upon with guilt, or taken for granted.

I believe the search for the meaning of life is a journey that reaches to a conclusion when you die. I believe those things are inside us, that drive us to search, push us to grow as individuals. It is more important to search for the meaning of life than it is to find an answer.

Loving vs Envious

2008-10-16T17:41:00.000+08:00

There is a difference between loving a thing
and being envious of it,
to such an extent
that is is mistaken for love,
so greatly that
a want to be like the thing
becomes a passion
becomes a lust
becomes an obsession with the thing itself
while waiting patiently, is the decision
to be everything you hold dear.

I love how much I love them.

I love how much our love is thrown around.

I love the way we'll say we mean it.

Dreams...

2008-10-16T17:40:00.001+08:00

My life is waiting. I'm not waiting, I'm stuck. My life is waiting.

I'm in a place where all I can do is cry out for help like a child and hope that someone will come back. Will anyone? Do I deserve anything like this? Nope. I'm dead.

I think terrible, terrible dreams are good things. Only if they haven't come true. But they can be great things. I had one a couple days ago and I woke up in confusion and sadness, trying to reflect on what had just happened and why. And hoping that I could prevent what happened in my soul at that one pivotal moment in the dream. I still don't know whether I can or not, but I'm thinking about it and what I could do.

Without you there's no place I belong
Without you I lost my way I'm heading to
Without your voice I'd end up in the wrong places
Even if darkness come, you make me see everything
And even if I sometimes I make a wrong turn somewhere
You'll always be here to lead me to the right path

One day we lost each other
Everything went into darkness and your voice disappeared
How could I get to the place I want to be with you?
Then I saw what made me understand....

Dating Tips

2008-10-13T11:03:00.001+08:00

A guide to dating

People in long-term relationships, whether they are married or dating, often complain about getting into a rut. Your relationship may have started off with the great burst of passion and excitement but perhaps it began to wane because life is busy and work can where you out by the end of the day. If you're in a dating relationship that seems to be in a rut, or wonder why you can't keep a long term relationship exciting anymore, perhaps you need to go back to the beginning. That doesn't mean you need to break up with your current partner and find someone new, it means you need to refresh the relationship with exciting and spontaneous activities. When you look back on a period of your life, what is it that you remember? Is it the average day-in, day-out activities? Not likely. It is more likely those fun and spur-of-the-moment times when you did things that were hilarious or scary or new. That's what it means to go back to the beginning of a relationship, when everything you do is spontaneous and new. Next time you and your girlfriend or boyfriend are deciding to do something on Friday, don't settle for dinner-and-a-movie. Do something different! Here are some ideas: Play paintball Rent a classic car Go skydiving Have a picnic Or surprise your date with something spontaneous: Start a water fight Go for a romantic boat ride and tip the boat Blindfold your date and take them somewhere they never been Surprise your date at work just as they're finishing up for the day Relationships fail for many reasons. One of the saddest reasons is that people simply drift apart because the other person doesn't excite them anymore. It doesn't have to be that you're your relationship, whether dating or married, can thrive when it is filled with adventures that the two of you share as you build memories together. You'll look back on your time together with fondness as you consider the many fun and spontaneous things you did together. But doing those things is a choice. Choose to return to the beginning of your relationship and have fun again!

When can't find a job

2008-10-13T11:01:00.001+08:00

There is very little in life more discouraging than spending thousands and thousands of dollars on an education only to find no one willing to give you a job and a chance. At a time in your life when the college loan bills start pouring in, your home is in limbo, your relationships and friendships are askew, and your excitement to get your life “started” is at its peak, there really is nothing more crushing. It takes patience, faith, and hard work to press on, maintain your confidence, and relax.

As a film-school graduate, I can relate to the suffocating, depressing, never-ending job searches that make you question every choice you’ve ever made – especially choosing to go to college in the first place. I know what it’s like to have bills outnumbering and outweighing your meager income. To have to accept an unrelated job where you are treated like shit and your high-school-grad co-workers are paid the same as you. Or to work in an environment where everyone is miserable and work sucks out your will to go on.

Whatever situation you find yourself in, the important thing is to be willing and able to step back and take a good look at the big picture. Remembering what you’ve accomplished thus far, reminding yourself of how young you are, and realizing that nothing is permanent – “this too shall pass” – is essential for keeping a positive, focused, and balanced outlook. Not to mention dealing with stress and anxiety.

Besides maintaining a healthy mental perspective, keep searching! No matter how aggravating it can be to submit cover letter after cover letter, only to receive zero response, do not stop looking for and applying to new jobs! Make job hunting part of your daily routine – you may want to follow my tips for digital-age job hunting, because really, looking for a job on the internet can be a difficult, time-consuming process that provides little feedback or motivation that you’re on the right path. So try everything… check your regular listings and keep looking for more. Talk to people, network, don’t burn any bridges, and whatever you do, don’t give up. Keep your eyes and your mind open and the right opportunity will find you eventually. It may be the ultimate test of patience waiting until that fine day, but the strength of self you will gain in the process will be worth it.

Be open to new challenges. So what if you have a degree in Ceramics. If a job comes along, completely unrelated, but sounds like it could put you on an interesting path – go for it! Avoid deciding that something is not worth applying for if it’s not EXACTLY what you want in a job. And on the other side of the coin, don’t apply to relevant jobs if they don’t excite you. Why waste your time just because they’re in your field? Follow your instinct… if you read a job posting and your gut reaction is interest… then apply! An unrelated job that lights a fire under you is never a bad choice, especially at this point in your life.

Don’t limit yourself. I remember receiving two calls from two different jobs each wanting me to come in for an interview. One of the jobs was in my field, and I was completely qualified and excited about it. The other was nowhere near my field of expertise, and I was barely experienced for the position. I almost turned down the interview for the second job, because I couldn’t turn off the what-ifs… What if they both offer me a job? What if the second job is offered first? What if I accept the second job and then the first job is offered? In the end, I ended up with the second job, after the first one interviewed me twice then never called back. Which taught me not to ever pass up an opportunity because you’re afraid of a situation that hasn’t happened yet. Don’t worry about what choice you will make if you get two job offers. Don’t stress yourself out about what you will do if you land your dream job three weeks after you accept a pay-the-bills job. Make the decisions as they present themselves; don’t waste your time worrying about things that haven’t happened yet, and most importantly, don’t limit yourself because you’re afraid of situations that might happen…chances are, they won’t.

Know when it’s time to make a change. Be aware of your progress, your finances, and your overall situation. Understand what your last-resort options are, and know when to take them. If you’ve been searching for a career for 8 months to no avail and are growing deeper and deeper behind on your bills, then it might be time to give it up and look for any job. At a certain point, any job is better than none. Remember, it’s only temporary. Chances are, with a college degree, you really can get a general-labor job if you want one. It may be mowing lawns, or flipping burgers, or running a cash register, or chopping veggies. But it’s a job, for now. And your job search shouldn’t stop here. Keep job hunting while working and something eventually will change. If you are working a pay-the-bills job but are still struggling, falling behind, and unable to land what you consider the “right job” – then it’s also important to know when it’s time to move on… or move home. As much as it’s not in the plan book, moving home is an often-overlooked option that, in itself, should remind you how lucky you are. To have a fall-back plan in the most dire situation is smart and nothing to be ashamed of. It is too, only temporary.

Lastly – enjoy this insecure, adrift, wandering phase of your life. Because with all certainty, it won’t last. Someday you will have a job, you will be settled, and you will – absolutely – reminisce about the days when all you had to do was wake up and explore the possibilities of where your life will go. Looking for a job, though challenging and daunting, is the equivalent of standing at a cross-roads and choosing which way to go. Entertain your craziest ambitions and remember that the choices you make now will affect the rest of your life. And if nothing else, enjoy the fact that you can sleep in, eat breakfast by the computer, and spend the day wallowing in your life and the direction you want to take it.

The Natual's Love

2008-10-13T10:57:00.000+08:00

Some really nice image taken that i wish to share. Its just like sharing love around.

The Love that shines.

The stream of light

2008-10-10T05:42:00.001+08:00

What is light?
Light is all around.
We need it, but it doesn't need us.
Light only needs an energy source.

It travels. That's all it does.
Unthinking, straight, it goes on and finally fades.
Always streaming from a source,
If that source is cut off,
The light will no longer come.
No longer reflect.
No longer shine.

We cannot see it traveling,
Yet we know where it comes from when we look to the source.
Invisible as it travels,
Bright as it reflects.

Through far space and endless time,
It moves unseen until it reaches its destination.

Why can't we smell it?
Why can't we taste it?
We can feel nothing more than the heat it creates,
Yet it provides so much more.

Life and sight.
Two separate entities,
Bound together by light.
Life comes from the light,
But sight requires both Light and Life to live.

Light is really interesting to me. And the processes by which we perceive things as well, whether it's light, or sound in particular. Did you know that light is one-dimensional? It's a wave shooting into your eyes, and somehow our brains create worlds of meaning, adding another dimension to what we actually take in...and then there's the auracity of how we hear and locate sounds depending on milliseconds of difference in the time that the sound reaches one ear before the other. Wow. I like learning things.

Spinning round and round

2008-10-10T05:38:00.000+08:00

I'm done. Feeling damn tired. What brought me to this point was that as optimistic as I can possibly be, there's just not enough time in a day to do everything I have to. At least not today. And it's spinning a little bit out of control. My list is long. I hate complaining about it, but I kind of feel like I have to. And it was my decision to let it take over my life anyway, no matter how long ago it was that I inadvertently chose it.

Oh, I'm going to keep working. But I kind of just decided to temporarily say, "screw it." to due dates and worry about them later because there's more important things going on in my midst, like staying at least some what healthy.

I could easily list off a huge list of things I'm worried about right now that unfortunately take a toll on me. But I am not going to get burnt out for this year.

And then, this makes me grateful for the friends and family I have. That keep me alive, encouraged, hopeful. And they also make me realize that there are bigger things in the world than my own problems, which lets me step back a little bit and take a deep breath. So thanks.

Silence

2008-10-10T05:37:00.000+08:00

What does silence mean to you?

Not just alone, but with others.

That may be really broad, but think about it. And maybe tell me how you view silence especially when it comes to hanging out with a group of friends, or a group of people you don't know too well. Maybe I'll share my own thoughts soon. This is an experiment.

To seek & to believe

2008-10-10T05:34:00.000+08:00

I found out today that I like questions just a little too much.

Socratic method? Yes, please.
Getting to know people through questions? Yes...
Asking life's questions without ever really trying get an answer (cause most of the time I won't get one)? Hmmm...
Asking about unexplainable things and then answering the questions myself? Oh, sure.

Aye. But what's funny is that I think that I have a lot more answers then I want to believe. I sit, asking rare questions, when sometimes what I've already learned from passed experience is right there in front of me, waiting for me to accept it. I really have this tendency to leave things open-ended and not tie any kind of debate down. It's just my personality. I find it fun, but sometimes it's not so fun.

Very freaking good example (at least for me):

A while back, I had this phase where I was telling myself that I would search for meaning in everything. Because obviously, yeah, there's a great deal of meaning that be found in many things, if not everything. But meaning can also be made. For better or for worse. Eventually I realized that I was grasping at straws for more kicks and giggles than actual substance in my life. And I also realized that I should seek the Truth rather than meaning. I know what to look for - and to - when I seek truth, and it won't throw me all over the map.

Coexist Of Tension

2008-10-10T05:33:00.000+08:00

Everything has its place.

Whether its place is constant motion or hiding, or completely stationary. Or something else.

Sometimes I freak out. In my mind. What am I supposed to be? Where is my place? I think that I must be moving and taking shelter at the same time. I must stop to take rest. But I can't sit for long. I just can't. I either get antsy or feel guilty because I find myself becoming complacent.

I'm pretty sure everyone's life is a life of tension. It's a pull, usually in two opposite directions. But it's not that simple. It's many tensions at once. As in, how can someone love and lose? And is he or she the right one, or is it this other boy or girl? And am I someone who relies on religious belief, but doesn't abuse it to cover up sins? It turns into something like this...

What's interesting, though, is that all of our tensions coexist, and rest in and on each other. Some of them are good and some of them are pure chaos. We have good pulls and bad ones, some goods that pull on other goods, bads on other bads, and goods on bads. They all affect one another in some way...

We are held by tension. Our skin is tension, keeping our insides in. Music revolves around tension and release. Love is pain and pleasure all wrapped up in one. But it's worth it.

Gotten away

2008-10-10T05:31:00.000+08:00

I've gotten away from the blog for a while simply because of the busy-ness of life. I'm sure that everyone knows what that is. But something has been rolling over and over in my heart and I want to share it.
Learning is part of the process in starting a cafe. I need all the input I can for "Teddie's cafe" to be successful.

Overcome the tyranny of the urgent.

2008-10-10T05:29:00.002+08:00

Every felt like you check off one of your to-do's just to add two more to the list? Most of our lives are lived according to the urgent things that have to be done NOW. I have to admit that I have been that way for certain time to time. It is easy to get lost in the now and not see the tomorrow. There are a few things that I am going to do to try to save myself from this tyrannical taskmaster:

Remind myself that I'm not alone in this world. Whenver we feel overwhelmed we also feel isolated and alone. It is important to remember that our love ones is with us in this life, calm seas or category 5 hurricanes.
Attack the weakest link. We see the shows on the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet where a lion observes a hurd of cape buffalo and looks to identify the weakest animal in the herd. The weakest link becomes his mark. By attacking the task that is least challenging to us we can eliminate it from our to-do list and feel a sense of accomplishment. The sense of accomplishment is what helps us to be motivated to attack the next task.
Pace myself. It won't all get done today but I know that it will get done. Consistency is the mark of champions.

Me and You, You and Me.

2008-10-10T05:29:00.001+08:00

Try to put it into perspective
Keep in mind that
If I were in your shoes
We both know
Do you think
Can we try
How do we move forward with
I think what you're trying to say is
Did you mean
I feel like
I respect you, but
Tell me your experience
Let's go at it from a different angle
When this happens
Our options are
Let's leave that for a bit and
Bare with me here
I think you're missing the point
In my opinion
I know this seems strange, but
Why aren't you listening
How can I help you with
Hold on for one more minute
How could this be different
We're hoping for
I'm hoping for

Electronics Simple Wisdom

2008-10-10T05:25:00.001+08:00

I don't often get my tech advice from IT magazine, but there are times when its straight-ahead, let's-just-deal-with-this approach to technology makes lots of sense. Certain issue had a simple story about when to pull the plug on your various pieces of aging electronics. Plus, it gave tips about how to extend the life of various gadgets so that they don't die an early death.

Some simple wisdom:

LCD-TV: Keeping your fingers off the screen and keeping the unit well ventilated will help prevent damage, but if your flat screen is more than five years old, you're probably better off replacing it than paying the hefty labor and parts charges for repair.

DVD player: Keep the unit cool and try not to jolt things. A DVD cleaning kit can sometimes revive a player that skips. But if you've tried cleaning the player and the disks, but your disks won't play, it's less expensive to buy new than repair. DVD players have gone way down in price. (Even Blu-ray and HD DVD players — the new high-definition contenders — have come down in price significantly in the past few months.)

Mobile/Handphones: The best advice is to let your battery drain fully once a week, say the editors. Try keeping your hand phone away from extreme temperatures, too. The most common fix is trying a new battery (which you should purchase from a official dealer). If you have an inexpensive phone, just recycle it. If it's fallen into the drink or toilet bowl, take it apart and dry it out for a day or two. It "MAY" come back to life. Finally, get an estimate on repairs, but if the repair cost is more than half the price of the phone, buy new.

Forwarding of Life

2008-10-10T05:22:00.000+08:00

Life is about LOOKING FORWARD. Everything we do, every action we take, every moment we attempt to hold on to simply propels us towards our inevitable tomorrows.

My view of future is a world of people helping one another achieve their potential in a even better world. Hence, looking forward.

Explosion moments.

2008-10-10T05:18:00.001+08:00

Do you ever have those moments when you feel as if your heart is going to explode? In that good way? It kind of builds in the same way that happens when you're really nervous about something, or anxious, and maybe even is kind of unexpected when it turns to a surge of pure joy. Every once in a while this happens to me. Not frequently. When it happens, it could be from joy at finally really seeing a friend I haven't really seen in a while, the discovery of something special that I hadn't noticed before, or a quite meaningful connection made in my brain.

Like I said, it doesn't happen often, but I think I had a little heart explosion today. Why? I could speak. That might seem like nothing to anyone but myself, but up until recently, my mouth could utter word after word...all amounting to nothing. Most of what I said had me in it, but really it was the little part of me, that desired validation, that wanted praise, that craved some sort of response. In quite an unhealthy way. There have, of course, been many exceptions to this rule, but otherwise I generally felt like I had much to prove when I spoke.

Resistance

2008-10-10T05:16:00.000+08:00

If I face something head on, there's not much that can really get in my way. I respond to problems easily and usually (hopefully) treat them with some sort of maturity, if I know what it is I'm dealing with, and I have time to think. I thrive and easily learn from resistance and direct opposition, because I know how to train myself in response (or would hope I could be prepared for it). Example: persecution.

However, I have not experienced much of this direct opposition. Most of what I have faced is passive, in the sense that when it comes to learning who I am, problems do not generally present themselves to me, forcing me to form thoughts and opinions. This is significantly more ambiguous, I think. But it also makes me think about the way I form thoughts...is it really in response to problems? Should it be? Or should I already have everything decided on? Or neither? And maybe if I had already decided on these things, is it a possibility that's why I would be faced with resistance?

Either way, this passive resistance that comes to me really isn't a horrible thing. No, it's not as cool as refusing to comply with police or standing in front of tanks, but it is the thing that most likely has taught me that I have to work to form myself, not hope on others' opinions to grate against my somehow naturally innate values (that was sarcastic), thus bringing them out and sharpening them. I've been made a certain way.

Streaming of the brain.

2008-10-10T05:15:00.000+08:00

You know how if you squeeze your eyes tight and look at the back of your eyelids, rather than just black, you see tons of little colorful dots among the black? I used to think those were what made up the universe. They were these magical particles that you could potentially put together in certain combinations to make my eyelids, my eyes, or a gundam set. Of course, I didn't know how to harness that power. I only imagined and wondered why it was that while my eyelids never changed, these dots flew all around, back and forth, with no pattern at all.

Now I know better, but I still squeeze my eyes tight and look in wonder at some of the little things that amaze me. Is there actually a pattern? Maybe, but if there is, it's unknown to me.

But then again, why do I keep bringing my mind to try and organize it, to make schema and then file it away as if I truly understood it? Because like so many other things, I do just that. And it's natural here now in modern life to want to explain everything. And you probably could explain what those little points of living light are in my eyelids, but even when I find out what they are, I just can't toss it aside anymore and say, "That's accomplished. I've found it, now I can move on."

Conquest. That's what that is. Near-cold-blooded accomplishment. But if you want the real cold-blooded stuff, you see it in humanity through empires seeking and seizing territory, through deforestation and wars. You pick it up, you take it, pat yourself on the back, and move on.

ONE MOMENT OF HAPPINESS

2008-10-10T05:12:00.000+08:00

ONE MOMENT OF HAPPINESS. That's all I really ask for in each day. TO FEEL MY HEART EXPAND.

HAPPINESS.

To feel the warmth of the sun on my face. To see someone smile. To feel the wind through my hair.

SERENITY. CLARITY. HOPE.

I want to be surrounded by nature. ENGULFED BY IT. I want to feel part of something grand.

INCALCULABLE.

A WALK THROUGH THE NATURAL PARK. I breath it in. LEAVES CRUNCHING UNDER MY FEET. I see my reflection in a puddle. I SMILE. I breathe it in.

EVER-CHANGING. It's beautiful. ONE WITH MY THOUGHTS.

LOVE

TRUTH

What is love? I love you. I love my family. I love my friends. I love nature. I love music, designing and art. The beauty of ideas.

I breath it in.

Because of you I have HOPE, FATE and DREAM.

SERENITY

PEACE

CLARITY

LOVE

One moment of happiness. I breathe it in.

Needs (some thoughts)

2008-10-10T05:08:00.002+08:00

What is needed from me? What do I need from you? Should I tell, or do my actions speak for themselves? How is our need influenced by our nature?

I've always wanted to rid myself of superficiality. I honestly can't think of a time when I felt good about pleasantries that were just used between two acquaintances to pass the time until one person's body language showed that both of them could begin to take an exit. I guess all probably would feel the same way?

I need to process out loud, and I think about many things. Even with people I trust, I often feel like the unnecessary things get in the way. Not to say that regular greetings and such don't matter, but it's more like the expectation that unless we're in the right place at the right time, these more profound topics are forgotten that they belong too.

Just because I've never ever talk about something intense doesn't mean I don't want to. Just because of having a short, indefinite amount of time to talk doesn't mean I won't follow up later on.

Life's funny. If you want to talk to me, I like you. That's usually how it goes in reality From everyone I speak to, I don't necessarily expect to learn anything but always come away with something valuable.

Three categories of people.

2008-10-10T05:08:00.001+08:00

There are three categories of people :

- the few who make things happen,
- the many who watch things happen,
- and the (...) majority who have no idea what happened.

So which categories you are in? Ha ha.

Mind Wandering.

2008-10-10T04:54:00.000+08:00

My mind sometimes wanders to a place of unknown reality. I have question marks inside of me which pile up like sandbags as if waiting for a flood to come. Never think I will ever get all the answers. To some questions, I don't even think I want to know about the answers. To some questions, there may not even be any answers. However, I am forcing myself to take a look, and find the meaning in my own life. To put them in words... "Learn from the past, Live in the present, and Dream in the future". I'll keep asking myself these questions, the floods will come, by then I will be ready.
