crazy for frappes

Undecided

I have been seriously thinking about resigning from work...after almost 4 years of working, I finally came to a point of quitting...it has become like a struggle for me to wake up and drive my self to work...everyday I would think about an excuse not to work even if I'm perfectly feeling well...i would pretend that I'm sick so I have a good reason to call in...I know there are days when you're just really tired and would just want to take it easy and just relax..but lately it has gotten really worse...it's not easy for me these few months to work and at the same time attend classes..I really had no idea that it would be this difficult to concentrate on both work and studies...I know I have managed for the past few months but fatigue and stress is really taking a toll on my health...I was planning to submit my resignation last week and supposedly I would only have until march 30 to work but then again I could not get myself to submit my resignation letter...it would just have been one click on the send button and it would have been sent...I'm not sure why but my intuition tells me that its not a good decision...my job is really rewarding, i should ponder on that before I decide on what to do...up to this point i haven't really decided yet, but for now ill just have to leave things as it is...

30 something

Being 30 makes me think and look back at how I have lived my life for the past 30 years. Did I accomplish that much??? Or did I really enjoy the 30 years of my existence??? How much have I grown??? Looking back, I could honestly say that I am so pleased at how my life turned out to be. I had my share of laughter and fun times and I relish them all. Yes, I had experienced heartache and failure and beleive me it is excruciatingly painful, nobody in his right mind would want to experience that, but as they say, you'll never be a better person if you haven't experienced failure. All the things that I have experienced made me more confident in myself. I am already thirty and counting and I am not bothered at all by just a mere number. I know I still have my future ahead of me. I am not afraid of getting old but rather of getting old alone, but I'd like to beleive that I am so loved and somehow going through life alone is not something that I would have to endure. My life is not at all perfect but it's the life I have always wanted. Being thirty might mean getting older but definitely wiser.

truth about failure

a friend forwarded this message...i'd like to share it with everyone...


* Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... ...it does mean you haven't succeeded yet.

* Failure doesn't mean you don't have it... ...it does mean you have to do something in a different way.


* Failure doesn't mean you are inferior... ...it does mean you are not perfect.

* Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life... ...it does mean you've a reason to start afresh.

* Failure doesn't mean you should give up... ...it does mean you should try harder.

* Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it... ...it does mean it will take a little longer.

* Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool... ...it does mean you had a lot of faith.

* Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced... ...it does mean you were willing to try.

* Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing... ...it does mean you have learned something

slumdog millionaire


I recently watched this British film and I got so inspired. This is a story of an orphan from Mumbai named Jamal Malik. He became a contestant of the famous tv show "Who wants to become a Millionaire". When the show breaks for the night, police arrested him of suspicions of cheating. Police were baffled how he knows so much. Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal Malik tells the story of his life in the slums with his brother, their adventures together, their encounters with a gang in Mumbai, their struggles together and his love for a girl named Latika. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
This film has been nominated for three Oscars for the film, for best original score and two best original songs.

memorable quotes from the twilight series




I have already read the twilight series from: twilight, new moon, eclipse, breaking dawn and midnight sun. Here are some of the memorable quotes from the famous series.

"You are exactly my brand of heroine.." -Edward

"You're my life now" - Edward

"Your the only thing it would hurt me to lose"- Edward

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb" - Edward

"What a stupid lamb" - Bella

"Until your heart stops beating I'll be here" - Jacob

"My life was a moonless night" - Edward

"I couldn't ignore you any longer" - Edward

"No matter how perfect a day is it always has to end" - Edward

"I can't live in a world where he doesn't exist" - Bella

Edward: "if i could dream at all, it would be about you, and I'm not ashamed of it."

Edward Cullen: "i decided that as long as i was going to hell, i might as well do it thoroughly."

Edward Cullen: "i promise to love you forever - every single day of forever

"About three things i was absolutely positive.
First, edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him-and i didn't know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

I think it’s something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart — not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end…
Bella Swan, Eclipse, Chapter 1, p.29

I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years.
Edward Cullen

Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?
Edward Cullen

The outside world holds no interest for me without you.
Edward Cullen

I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you.
Edward Cullen

You already have everything. You have a whole life ahead of you — everything I want. And you’re going to just throw it away. Can’t you see that I’d trade everything I have to be you? You have the choice that I didn’t have, and you’re choosing wrong!
Rosalie Hale


It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.
Jacob Black


But I’ll never see anyone else, Bella. I only see you. Even when I close my eyes and try to see something else. Ask Quil or Embry. It drives them all crazy.
Jacob Black

There was no friction in the space between us. The stillness was peaceful — not like the calm before the tempest, but like a clear night untouched by even the dream of a storm.
Bella Swan

You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours.
Edward Cullen


Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren’t in love with me?
Edward Cullen


There are things between my hands right now that I can’t live without. You could take care of them.
Edward Cullen

f there were any way for me to become human for you — no matter what the price was, I would pay it.
Edward Cullen


And the sound of your heart. It’s the most significant sound in my world.
Edward Cullen

You’ll always be my Bella, you’ll just be a little more durable.
Edward Cullen
