A couple hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret oh his success. "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today", he said.
I dont know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection.
Sometimes, the fear is just of making a decision. Because, what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo?
Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true. That, by the time the pain of not doin a thing get worse than the fear of doin it, It can feel like we're carrying a giant rock.
"He who hesitates is lost". We can't pretend that we haven't been told. We've heard all the proverbs, heard the phylosophers, heard our parents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still, sometimes, we have to see for ourselves.
We have our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibillity under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, Untill we finally understand for ourselves ,what Benjamin Franklin meant.
That knowing is better than wondering. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst, most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of never trying.

love from the eyes of 11-years-old

Somewhere a million miles away…the girl I once loved was going down her road…and I was stuck back on mine."
"I couldn’t escape them - all the things I left unsaid, all the little things I left unsaid. I was drowning in them."
"Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. Love isn’t about ridiculous little words. Love is about grand gestures."
"Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums.
Proposals on Jumbotrons. Giant words in skywriting. Love is going that extra mile even if it hurts. Letting it all hang out there. Love is finding courage inside of you that you didn’t even know was there."
Those are some lines taken from the movie Little Manhattan that I watched almost 3 yrs ago,,a movie about two 11-years-old find love in NYC..you may think those lines a bit lame and cheesy..but i just love it,,cause it came from an 11-yrs-old boy who felt love for the first time..it was an honest and sweet movie..
the actors were amazing, new york is so romantic, i could relate to the boy, i love scooters, i love karate i love everything to do with this movie! its all very true to life and its seen through the eyes of a boy that i think most guys can relate to..(eventhough i’m a girl)..Plus,,it has so many good songs..i repeat,,the songs in the movie are soooo good!!!!even my lil sis recorded it "live" from the DVD..I just love this movie..I luv it!!!
"Nothing’s as big as your first love…"

Raise your white gloves. This is for the king of pop.
I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If You wanna make the world a better place
Take A look at yourself and then make that...
Change!

mix and match
I found out about her few months ago.
Her name is Maia Hirasawa.
Some say that she's sort of the mixture of Emiliana Torrini + Feist + Björk.
One thing for sure, i like all of them. They are great female singers.
And after I heard Maia's songs, i like her too.
If you want to know about her, just visit her website or check out her space.

giving up
I am giving up
on making passes
I am giving up
on half empty glasses
I am giving up
-Giving Up by Ingrid Michaelson-
