Dad,
Every year, your birthday reminds me
how grateful I am that you are my father.
With all that’s going on in the world today,
I’m thankful I get to watch you,
to look up to you, being an example of a good man.
What a privilege it is to observe your strength,
your competence, and your kindness.
I am so blessed to be under your wing,
your protection, your care,
learning important life lessons from you.
If all fathers were like you,
the world would be a very different
and much better place.
Dad,
Of all the men in the whole wide world,
Whose praises are sung out loud,
There is no man whom I respect more,
Or of whom I am more proud.
Throughout the years, you’ve worked so hard
To provide us a happy life;
You’ve been there to help and give advice,
And you did it all without strife.
That is why on this day each year,
I pray all your wishes come true;
Today we celebrate your life,
So Dad, Happy Birthday to you.
Your Admiring Daughter,
Carissa
Today is a bit weird for me, feel powerless, limp and got a disturbing headache. I could do nothing except replying some e-mail and seeing my laptop turn on before me. I tried to boost my mood by listening my favorites songs over my winamp, still nothing change. I know that the deadlines, composing the company profile are still waiting but I am not interested to accomplish them now. My heart felt so empty and my mind clogged. What happened to me? my self could not answer it as well.
Then I took the last -month magz before my desk here. I found an interesting article to read entitled "8 Signals He's Just Not That Into Marrying You" by Sabrina Syams and I decided to share it here. This will be a nice fact for you, girls!
Eight (8) Signals He's just not that into marrying you:
1. He's not home even on summer break
This will be a cliche reason that is often used when men are separated of range of time with you. Indeed, the plane fare was not cheap, but the road would be opened widely if there is a desire, right? Forget all the communication which is created through sophisticated devices such as skype, yahoo messenger, and a lot more. If you mean so much to him, needless to say he will seek anyways to be able to find you face to face.
2. He says he's not settle yet
It goes without saying, when your beau says this to you that means you'd better to find someone better else. He is not confident of his own capability. One thing for sure, you won't spend your whole life time only to wait and wait for him so long long time in years to come, will you?
3. He choose scholarship over you
You are certainly proud of his success as he could struggle between so many thousands of competitors to gain a prestigious scholarship, but you must realize that he asserts his own final goal and unfortunately you are not part of that goal.
4. He never introduces his family to you
Many years gone by only with him. Still in this period of time he never introduces his family to you? Do not waste time playing with your assumptions. Just ask, if the answer does not make sense, then the next step is go ahead and leave him!
5. Party hard loves you less
When the intentions to grow up a family comes up, the men will naturally leave his 'bad' lifestyle. If your beloved are still in love to get party all night long, you have to think about it thousands time as it will more painful when you realized that he loves to spend the time in his 'community' rather than with you at home.
6. He lives at work
Nothing wrong with a man who has strong passion to work and high ambition to reach his promotion. Still, this situation becomes serious when he does not have a time to be with you anymore. Busy with his blackberry, never stops picking up some calls, and a lot more. If this is running day by day, put off your sweet dreams with him.
7. He keeps on making an empty promises
No words which could best describe of this case. the answer is just leave him, that's it!
8. He 'suffers' Peterpan syndroms
This is a popular syndrome to describe a mature man who doesn't act like on his age. He usually irresponsible, rebel, emotional, and manipulative. Beware of this man as you will be his accessories to cover his 'doubt' maturity.
Fiuhhh... Those facts will indeed make you afraid and a bit questioning "Is he just that into me?" hahaha... (me as well here). Still, I am sure that God will lead to the best person to me and God leads me to him now! cheers...
Is this Tuesday?? Gosh, I do not even realize that the time is running so fast.. One thing for sure, I barely have time to cherish and indulge my own self since the new deadline began. Only "Articles, News, Events, Reports and a lot more..." which fulfilled my overburden mind these days. Though I tried to follow my friend suggestion that I have to make two grins where there was only a grouch before .. (thought this was useless) as my day will be the same day by day ^-^.Then, I remembered that I have a blog! Sure, the best way to cherish myself by sharing what I am feeling these days..
Return to the day when I was in college, I had a good time and slight talks with my best friends about going to the new phase of our life (have a job) was awesome. Hence, the reality would not as good as we imagined. I am not saying that I hate my job, I even too love it. I love to be a copywriter, truthfully. Still, many things would happen beyond your expectation and make you sooo upset (outstrip your broken heart). Once I found my article was rejected by the over-senior Ed. in Chief, whilst I had given my biggest effort to write this. Huaaa... I cried when I read her e-mail that especially sent to me complete with her sharp-points words. Felt so down and useless as I had spent three-days (3 hours sleeping) to do my best and the result was ....... NOTHING. Then I decided to get rid of writing any articles for a week! (women' sulk might be took longer than anything in this world, right??)
Then I asked my self why did I do this? Must I resign and give up with it? I share what I was feeling to my lovely mom . She said "life is like this, darling. Don't worry about anyone sayings, she might be thought that you're as good as she was, she just want you to be more professional. I know that you're so in love, even too love with your new job now and did anything as best as you can, but you have to remember that you have a limit too, don't push your self too much. It's not fair if you blamed yourself and drawn out with this problem. Get up and try to fix your article then show it to her that you could do it. Don't even care if she didn't like your writings at least you try." Ohh... I was melting when my mom said this to me then trying to restore my heart to re-write again. and I did it! I revised my article then sent it to her. Was she approved or glad?? Not at all, she didn't even follow up my revised article till now. Hahahaha .... I don't care, at least I do my best!
Lessons to learn:
1. sometimes 'too' love of something is not really good at all. Once you find yourself dissapointed of it, the effect is soooooo bad for your life.
2. Try to appreciate what someone had done to you even if for the smallest things, cuz you don't know the efforts before you.
3. Do your best and leave the rest to God, trust me it will make you better day by day.
