my best quotes

if you can't fight on for yourself, who else will fight with you?

it's the character that's important. i can raise a million dollar baby but it's useless when the baby throws all the money away later in life.- dad

we are at the tails end of our life. you have to strive on for your own success.- dad

Aerith: You came. Even though you're about to break. That's a good sign.
Aerith: So... Why did you come?
Cloud: I think... I wanna be forgiven. Hmmm. More than anything.

sometimes the hardest person to forgive is to forgive yourself. have u ever wondered mistakes that you've made but the person who was hurt forgives you but u just can't forgive urself for making those mistakes?

but, everyday comes as a challenge... and the only thing that makes me go to bed soundly is that i've given my best in everything that i do... not an ounce less... so i hope and pray that the day that i can't forgive my own self will never come again...

there's a saying that goes:
'i swim as hard as i can and as fast as i can, and the sea takes the rest'

but have you ever wondered, to those who rescue others, they themselves are the ones who needed to be 'rescued'? it's such an irony that those who have given their hearts and soul to rescue someone, are actually the most vulnerable in their hearts just waiting to be rescued by another person... it's something that i've come to know after all these while...

they rescue other people because they have made a mistake and can't seem to forgive themselves for it... but little do they know that they will be the ones in return who needed to be rescued at the beginning...

it's such an irony, crude, twist of fate that such things happen all around us.. it's tough and unfair.. but sometimes we do need some rescuing ourselves after rescuing others...

that's if you know what i've been talking about...

don't we?

jen lye,
there are some things in life that doesn't have to be kept urself in blame all these while.
its just such a burden. sometimes you jus have to throw away the past and try to "save" the present because at least, you know that's within your grasp.
always remember you are not alone though you sometimes feel you are. always there for you:)

hey steph and anonymous,
thanks for all ur concerns.. i'm fine.. just that i've been there myself before so it's kinda like hard to fathom the fact that there are so many others out there who like me, once tried to save others but in the end it's myself who was needed to be saved at the very beginning.. i guess at times like this we jsut have to keep our heads straight and not be burdened by things taht we don't need to worried about rite?
i think the best gift on earth is forgiveness.. and it's best given to ourselves for it's somethign tahts immeasurable with any amount at all...
thanks and do take care you all..

p/s: may i noe who are u anonymous?
