you are the perfect you -- just the person the world needs to fill your shoes and do your job. to smile your smile and laugh your laugh. and, share your incredible uniqueness with everyone lucky enough to know you. so be very proud of yourself, and whatever you do -- stay you.

many times, you wanted to be somebody else who are not just you. and, it happened to me a couple of years back as i wanted to be someone else just because a girl i liked adored that person. as silly as it could be when i flashbacked my memory to that time being, that happened.

of course, i couldn't change myself into that person no matter how hard i tried to. i will never be that person and i am what i was planned to be by the Highest.

the words from hallmark above was, one day, given to me by a friend and as i, accidentally, came across it, i remembered the time when those words hit me straight in the eyes.

aaah... even actors and actresses who have the ability to change characters will return to him/herself at the end of the day.

There's that saying that the only person who knows what your true and best qualities are, is your ownself. I'm a believer of that saying :-)

Your Hallmark quote reminds me of one of Carrie's line in Sex and the City. She said, "the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the one you love, well, that's just fabulous.."

Both quotes really mean a lot to me. Thanks for sharing the one from Hallmark. :)

Yupe, thanks for the insightful quote. Kata orang Jawa, manusia itu sering sawang-sinawang alias saling memandang. kadang kala kita liat temen kita lebih enak,bahagia, sukses dsb n kita pengen kaya dia..giliran kita tanya ke dia eh dianya malah pengen kaya kita.:) semua ada kurang-lebihnya, tuh sepatu converse enak dipake deh kayanya :) ada yg ukuran 47 gak huhuhuhuh j/k

Yes Key West has changed a great deal since 1995, Iman. But the scenery is beautiful and there are some quiet places still left if you know where to look.

Hallo Iman, Lenox kayaknya mungkin masih gitu gitu aja soalnya nggak bisa diperluas, tapi Mall mall ditempat lain sudah banyak dibangun, meluas ke North ( kearah NC ),aku pertama ke GA sini, turun dari greyhound makannya di waffel house tuh, jadi kenangan juga hehehe.

Iman, Tornadoes are definitely not any fun. It sounds like you have had an opportunity to travel a great deal, especially in the US.

The reason for the London bombing must have more to do with politics than with religion in my opinion. Like the Crusades, it is senseless and accomplishes nothing but more violence.
