Last day of 2009. Explicit.

IF there’s one thing every kid learns growing up, it’s that life is a series of risks. It’s a cause and effect relationship. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Still, with the proper guidance we learn to deal with the risks. Pretty soon we set out into the world, sure in our options, confident in our choices. Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn’t fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
my-so-called-life

I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same. Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings. It's terribly amusing how many different climates of feeling one can go through in a day. I've been thinking a lot about secrets. How sometimes secrets keep people from feeling like they belong, and sometimes secrets make you feel like you do belong.
As we grow older, it becomes difficult to just believe. It’s not that we don’t want to, but too much has happened that we just can’t. That’s all we are — just stories. We only exist by how people remember us, by the stories we make of our lives. Without the stories, we’d just fade away.
beautiful on the inside

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger. The truth is, life is rarely exactly the way we want it to be, and other people often don’t act as we would like them to. Moment to moment, there are aspects of life that we like and others that we don’t. There are always going to be people who disagree with you, people who do things differently, and things that don’t work out. If you fight against the principle of life, you’ll spend most of your life fighting battles.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love. yourself to get anything done in this world. I shouldn’t regret anything that I say, because it’s what I was feeling at the moment. There’s the people who you’ve known forever who know you in this way that other people can’t because they’ve seen you change… they’ve let you change. I've learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper: The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
safe to say i'm officially missing you
♥ this vid.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

In life you’ll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it’s because they’re stupid. That will help keep you from reacting to their cruelty. Because there is nothing worse than bitterness and vengeance… Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself. If anybody asks me, “is it easy to forget?” I’ll say “it’s easily done, you just pick anyone, and pretend that you never have met.
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same.
changed attitudes

"So you’re always honest,” I said.
“Aren’t you?”
“No,” I told him. “I’m not.”
“Well, that’s good to know, I guess.”
“I’m not saying I’m a liar,” I told him. He raised his eyebrows. “That’s not how I meant it, anyways.”
“How’d you mean it, then?”
“I just…I don’t always say what I feel.”
“Why not?”
“Because the truth sometimes hurts,” I said.
“Yeah,” he said. “So do lies, though."
Hold your head up. Take an unplanned road trip. Be thankful. Try everything once. Colour outside the lines. Fall in love. Embrace change. Trust in yourself. Do what you love. Dance when everyone is looking. Eat dessert first. Be nice to everyone. Send out thank you cards. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Play in the rain. Break the rules once in awhile. Do random acts of kindness. Forgive even when its hard. Make time for family. Don't count the minutes, count the laughs.
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realising that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
tik tok on the clock

It is an amazing concept that I can not grasp, how some people can live their lives, knowing, knowing well enough that they’re deliberately taking someone’s world away. For nothing. For their own enjoyment, perhaps, or their sadistic ways, I do not know, I do not take that path in life. They’re gonna find you, just believe. You’re not a person; you’re a disease.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Hello, I am alive and lovely.
clear beginnings

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on. You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt and live like it’s heaven on Earth.
It’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.
I know I hardly post, and whenever I do, I say what I feel.
can't help but wonder

--
There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you’d better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you’ll never understand what it’s saying. It's all in the view. That’s what I mean about forever, too. For any one of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You never know for sure, so you’d better make every second count. Some things don’t last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.
hearts desire

I think everyone has a certain part of their lives where they truly wish they could freeze time. Whether it was three years ago, today, or still to come, whether it was just a moment, a whole day, or a whole summer. Everyone has a time in their life where they wish everything would just stop. The world would stop turning and people would stop changing because to them, at that time, everything was perfect. Don't be so damn hard on yourself. Yeah, you screwed up. You’re not perfect, fine. Learn from it. But don’t punish yourself. Be kind to you, even when you screw up. You’ll bounce back eventually. You’ll make up for it.

So, how's year 12? I made a promise, set a goal for myself for 2010.

I’ve always looked at music in two ways, levels even. The first level just what you hear, a combination of sounds thats pleasing to the ear, backing all the way to a point that looks about all the levels and layers as a kind of math equation. Numbers and relationships, meeting perfectly at some point or another. Every note related, every note on a different level, Like stairs above stairs. Always increasing to one point to continue over itself.
But just now I stepped forward to the next level in from the math equation. The frequencies, we can physically feel sound. So listening to music can not only mentally put someone in a trance it can physically control them.
I like that.
half-heartedly

I’m not sure if I’m happy or completely lost right now. Definitely a little lost, but aren’t we all? I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. I have no idea what I’m doing in my life, or where I’m going. And I think I’m okay with that right now. For the first time in awhile, I noticed that I’ve changed. Maybe for the best, maybe not. But does it really matter? When we change, we can never go back. Each day is like a chemical reaction, you can tell something has happened because it can never go back to what it was. A new substance has formed; the process cannot be reversed.
Went to watch final destination 4 in 3D form with the others and I was hella creeped. man, i miss them. the others. i miss karaoke, i miss the young life, miss the dinners with everyone, but it's not over yet. just one more year, and i'll be free once again. i can't help but wonder why there are some people (like me), who spend their time doing pointless things and others who make such good use of it. why am i any different from them? i can make it right. soon.
yrrrrrrrrrrr 12, delirious.
xo helena
reasons.

Today, was a good day. Caught up with the girls and all, talking about random shit. i am on holidays. in two weeks i'm going to be in year 12. I'm gonna miss yr 11, seriously. lol. I don't know, guess yr 12 makes me feel old, even tho i'm only 16? Congrats to everyone who finished yr 11 successfully! The weather's been shit the whole week :( luckily, it was good enough for the social. apart from the smoking, unable to get up/down the stairs, blisters from heels (never wearing heels ever again) i had an alright timeeeeee. i had the worst experience walking from star city to chinatown and back to capitol, despite getting hit on by a fugly drunko.
Hopefully! The weather will change soon, no more rainy days on spring. Daylight saving sucks, time flies. Gonna make this holiday my best (unlikely), seeing it will be my last one to sit around do nothing.
There’s always a reason to everything.
A reason to smile.
A reason to laugh.
A reason to cry.
A reason to be sad.
A reason to be happy.
A reason to be mad.
A reason to hate/love yourself.
A reason why you fell for the person you fell hardest for.
A reason why you are living.
memories

I knew that there were no guarantees. No way of knowing what came next for me, for him, or anybody. Some things don’t last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there. One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory. Never try to forget something, no matter how much you want to. There’s a reason why your mind won’t let it go, even if your heart has. Your memories always serve a purpose, whether you know it or not, and you can’t fight that.
Life is like a book. Don’t jump to the end to see if its worth it. Just enjoy life and make those pages filled with beautiful memories.
same shit, different bitch.

So I can be a bit outspoken. I say things some people may not like. But I rather speak whats on my mind be heard rather then sitting there in silence for the fear that someone might not like what I say. Fuck em’ when I need to say something, i’ll say it. If someone doesn’t like me for it afterward, well damn that’s not my loss now is it? The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware... joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
HAHAH, rihanna, jay z and kayne west look weird in run this town mv.

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can’t help but talk about. Some things we just don’t want to hear, and some things we say because we can’t be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they’re what you do. Some things you say cause there’s no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves. So, make choices, make millions of them. Take every chance you get. Because honestly, no matter where you end up, or who you end up with, it always ends up the way it should be.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.
heysilly

story without words

This how it works. I love the people in my life, and I do for my friends whatever they need me to do for them, again and again, as many times as is necessary. For example, in your case you always forgot who you are and how much you’re loved. So what I do for you as your friend is remind you who you are and tell you how much I love you. And this isn’t any kind of burden for me, because I love who you are very much. Every time I remind you, I get to remember with you, which is my pleasure.
I NEED A BREAK, ROAD TRIP TOMORROW :)

HAPPY HELENA :)

Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections. So might just as well be happy, seeing as it doesn’t make a difference to anyone but me if I am or not.
EXAMS SOOOOON :) :) :)
P.S You have at least one reason to be happy. Smile!
Adrian :)
Haven't been doing much recently, have had exams which started today and i'm lucky cause i have a day off tomorroww ! :) can't wait. Although i haven't even done any work today which is a tiny bit dissapointing :P You know sometimes i am worried about certain things turning out the way i would hate them to, but i realised something. No matter how hard you want and need something, it will always work out when you try your hardest. I hope this is the case in all the things i want today, tomorrow or whenever. Finally i'd like to say that Helen Feng has been a bit :s in the past few days and i am a bit worried about what she means and is saying, i hope for the best and all i can do is try my best.
I just hope she knows how much i love her and how much i truely miss her right now...

Gonna make this a brief recap on my weekend. This week was awesome, no other word or words can describe it. Went city on Friday night with the girls (that night was so hot, can't wait for freakin' summer!) it was so fun celebrating Lisa's belated birthday, maybe because I've never been city with the girls at night. We went pancakes at the rocks at darling harbour :):) Carmen had three glasses of coke, it was hilarious as our bill was more than we had expected. Took a long walk around darling harbour where we took so many photos, I love the night view at darling harbour, it's so beautiful ♥ LOL after our lovely luvo sessions, we went to K for an hour at SHOW. It was the best, k? Had to leave afterwards mainly because I had work the next day and my feet were killing me. PHOTOS?! Sadly, they're all up on facebook :D as I am not bothered to post them up here.
Ohmygod, I had work on Saturday, and because of that I officially hate waking up so early every second weekend. I finished at 1:30pm and was looking forward to go Chatswood to go shopping. Oh, did I mention I bought my social dress? It was exactly how I pictured it to be, black with a bow :) but I haven't tried it on and if it doesn't fit i'm gonna freak. Unfortunately, after a row of pointless arguements with fudi, we decided to go City to find my parents. K, so we got there and had lunch and then decided to go K at phoenix. Hella awkward, there was a mix of asian and english songs, haha but it was quite enjoyable. Went K again, but at greenbox with michelle and the others for an hour before we left to eat. After 30 mins getting to Martin Place from Chinatown, we reached Suminoya, jap BBQ? Fucken 100 degrees in there, no joke. Nothing could cool us down till the stove was removed from our table, mygod lol. K, i cbb saying anymore, but overall, I had one of the best weekends ever. Now, I wish i was olddddddddddddddddddddder.
PS. I miss fudi ♥
Broken Heart -- ADRIAN:)
Why do we even bother?
We don't see eye to eye no more
This house is tearing apart
I know love ain't fair
I know it ain't perfect
But i can't be here
'Cuz your love ain't worth it
A part of me scared
A part of me searchin'
And this is how it sounds when my heart cries (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
And you won't even come to my rescue (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I'm cryin' for you babe
This is the soundtrack of my broken heart
What are we screamin' for?
Why does it matter?
When you walkin' out that door
And my heart is breakin' in half
I know love ain't fair
I know it ain't perfect
But i can't be here
'Cuz your love ain't worth it
A part of me scared
A part of me searchin'
And this is how it sounds when my heart cries (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
And you won't even come to my rescue (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I'm cryin' for you babe
This is the soundtrack of my broken heart
You see me drownin'
But you won't save my life
I'm dying baby (dying baby)
My bestest neighbour in love
To keep you happy
So listen to the sound of my broken heart (to get over you)
And you won't even come to my rescue (come to my rescue)
This is the soundtrack to my broken heart.
ADRIAN:)

Labels: I love Helen Feng.

I had crossroads today, on sexuality HA! I've been having a pretty good week, and it's only tuesday. I love how things work out in the end. I mean I may have doubts throughout, but if I'm in doubt it’s not the end. If someone is unhappy, it’s not the end. You gotta have faith in what you do and feel confident while doing it because in the end it all has to work out, right? I mean sex-ed is pretty boring but you learn stuff from it!
So a few adjustments to the blog once again :) You know when people say money can't buy happiness and love? Well i found out this today! The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. I want to be like that, make the most of everything with what I've got. Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don’t find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness. So that's why, no matter what is happening around you and in the world, thru the good and the bad, smiling for once won't hurt you, I bet it'll definitely be the best decision you've ever made.

Went to ichiban today at tgv! It was interesting because I think I caught a cold from eating there or just from the fluctuating temperatures of today! I was so happy to see you baby today that I like ran through wollies to greet you! But I was kinda embarrased cause everybody looked at me and was like WTF?! haha, also today I went to kino to read some random books, tutor got changed on Thursday to 530 pm and trade expo on sundayyy!! Exams in 2weeks and I'm studying hard!! I love my girlfriend and she really is my inspiration to study , she really is! I also look forward to continuing our recent tradition of talking on the phone at 12 o'clock every night no matter the day, which is a perfect way to spend your new days eve, I love you
I miss you so much right now and I wish I could call you right now. I love you babe.


I think over the past year, I've changed. My life is on a major downfall this year. I dunno what's to become of me. Although i used to tell myself change is good, I know this change isn't because change isn’t good or bad. It’s just the way of things. Nothing stays the same. I know change is inevitable. Adapting to change is unavoidable. It’s how I choose to do it that sets me together or apart. is about change. Sometimes it’s painful, sometimes it’s beautiful, but most of the time it’s both. It's not the 'smoking, drinking' sort of change, it's the decisions I make, that leads to hurting and lying. I may not have the 'bestest' friends, but I sure have a supporting and loving family who I know will always be there whenever I need a hand and i'm thankful for that. But sometimes, I wish they understood me and how I felt towards specific things. They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
I'm tired, maybe it's PMS starting to kick in. I think i'm gonna take a nap after this blog. Ciao.
self explanatory

So, the biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

P.S Went DFO today with my mum, and bought a jacket, YAY:)
+ dinner tomorrow night cause of Uncle's birthday and I can't wait ARGH! (So many birthdays in August...)
xoxo

The things about life that I’ve learned is that you’re going to get hurt. You’re going to have emotional nights and cry yourself to sleep for hours. You’re going to suffer some kind of heartbreak, some kind of loss. But you will also have those moments where you heal. Those moments are the best. You feel like you smile for the first time again. You feel like you’re alive again. Life just kinda restarts.
Dear my love.
I love you.

Life isn’t about how many people call you and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all.
It’s not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not.
Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It’s about how you feel about yourself.
It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion.
It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love.
Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence.
It’s about what you say and what you mean.
It’s about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have.
Most of all, it is about living your life to touch someone else’s.

Don’t you think it’s better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?

Sometimes you’re afraid to become a couple because you’re afraid of losing what you already have with that person. But life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don’t be a person who has to look back and wonder what they could have had. No one waits forever.
Today for me was plagued with thought and ambiguity. My constant question to myself was 'what to do' yet i knew in my mind what needed to be done already. I knew that it would never work if i was always the one running back and being the one who is like a dependent little baby. Although that is part of who i am i stopped myself from being like that since the incident last night and i hoped that she loved me enough to come back to me instead of the other way around, i discovered that was the only way it was going to work and i really hope she will.. I'm in love, i did the wrong thing yesterday but i hope love is forgiving and understanding. I'm crying right now and i actually am totally in love with you babe and i just hope you love me enough to come back to me for a change, that's the only way it's going to work.. forgive me for what happened yesterday i won't do it again i swear.

what's your secret?

every day i fall for you a little bit more. every day i feel like you're slipping away, just a little bit. when i'm with him, i'm thinking of you. and now i'm starting to fall for you as hard as you did for me.
Any happier?
schoool:)

i heard she broke your heart again

adrian here :)

One last touch
One last tender moment between us
One last dance
To our first song
While pretending there's nothing wrong
Let's stay here for awhile and
Cherish every moment we're in denial
We both know
Its better if we just let it go
new wishlist ;)

4th day

I NEED A BLARDY HAIRCUT. Lol, i was looking at pics from 2 months ago, and my hair was so cool :( and now it's so ew but on a happier note, my face has become a lot better :D thanks to the fringe, what a difference 2 months can make aye. Anna just screwed up my whole hair, but i'm so lazy to go to the hairdressers.
I've been so confused ever since you went on your 'trip'. I felt you were being so cold to me, maybe it's just me or you were purposely doing it. I only message 'him' because we, well I think we can have casual conversations. What are we? is the only question I keep asking myself. Sigh, you have no idea. It's all talk, i guess it's hard because you're away and I'm sitting here typing this. As of now, I'ma keep smiling, I'ma keep it moving cause i don't need you.

It’s those moments when you drive around in a car full of friends around a town too small for you. Where you gasp for breath between each laugh. It’s those moments where you get high off just breathing in so deep, you feel your lungs getting cold. For a second, that split second, you don’t care. You don’t care about school, about parents, about money, about rules, or broken hearts. Who you care about are the kids sitting next to you. Cause it’s all we really need isn’t it? Those kids next to you. Yeah, the ones who make you feel invincible, even at your weakest points.
I refuse to cry over you anymore. Yes, I still care. To be honest, I think I’ll always care. But life’s too short, and I’m going to do my best to be happy, with or without you.
before it's too late

It was such a great day, a combination of Dima's awesome dancing and jessica's fantastic australian idol singing skills haha.
Quote of the day: "So is it halal beef or halal chicken?"
"It's halal everything.." - My blonde moment.



Two things i'll be looking forward in the holidays:
1.Driving.
2.Hanging with Jess and Dima next Monday.
Can't wait :)

Does it do that thing where one day, every touch,
every glance, every moment is so crystal clear you can feel it, like it’s happening right now?
Then it does the other thing, where you struggle to remember how it felt to be in their arms, to gaze at their face, to touch their lips so gently with yours. I’m mad at myself, not you. I’m mad for always being nice, always apologising for things I didn’t do, for getting attached, for making you my life, depending on you, wasting my time on you, thinking about you, following you, changing for you, forgiving you, wishing for you, dreaming of you, and most of all for not hating which I know I should, but can’t.
Everyone of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads,at least that’s where I imagine it, there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live forever in your own little private library.

you're the perfect lullaby

& as you’re reading this, your life’s getting shorter.
it’s ticking away.
i’m not saying this to frighten you.
or even scare you.
though it may.
i’m saying this to awaken you.
to inspire you.
to rise you out of your deep slumber.
to really know you won’t live forever.
Will you be there?

In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tripulations
Through our doubts
And frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
Ill never let you part
For youre always in my heart."
Would it surprise you if i told you all i wanted was you right now. Would it hurt you if i told you i am hurting without you right now..


Got to sleep in today till 10am because of athletics carnival. I'm having a crappy week already and i don't even know why. I want these shoes from hype :( But i didn't get the chance to get them today but am looking forward to getting them soon or i'll be miserable. Why is it that holidays are taking forever to come? 1 week and 2 days. That's all that's left. But why does it seem like time is slowly passing by?
Optus ripped me off ;( My phone is getting charged for internet, when the lady said it'll be FREE of charge. I guess i'm just foolish and gullible, but she sounded so convining and i kept asking her about it. I can't be fucked blogging anymore, ciao.
