I know :P If you're interested, you can read #3 by clicking on the link below.. If you're not, i shall bid you a happy life ahead.. :D Have a lovely thursday, peeps!

Let me tell you something about courage..


Let me tell you something about courage..

Courage..
It ain't just about being strong,
It aint just about being tough,
It ain't just about being brave..

Its also about being humble,
humble enough to admit to your own weaknesses,
acknowledge that they exist,
and give space within yourself to let them grow,
grow into a sculpture of art to be appreciated,
a scripture to refer..

Its also about being fragile,
fragile enough that you allow a particular something to mean a whole lot to you,
a particular something to shine so significantly within your heart,
a particular something for you to hold on to,
for you to believe in..
for you to have faith in,
up to a point where
you'll fight for it with all your heart,
stand by it with all your strength,
regardless of what happens..

It is also about acceptance,
accepting the fact that hey, perhaps we might be wrong,
accepting the fact that everybody is equal,
with equal rights,
everybody deserves to be heard,
to be considered before being judged by us,
everybody deserves a chance
and it is not of our power to take all of that from them,
unless if they want us to.
But really, whatever for?

Its also about having fear,
fear that you might not get what you want,
fear that your life is without purpose,
and that you don't want that to happen to you at all,
Its about having fear,
and recognizing it
so that you'll be able to adapt.
So that you'll be able to face it.


Its also about being able to love yourself for who you are,
love yourself for who you are not,
embracing the differences that you have in you if compared to others,
the differences that are not meant to be despised by you,
but instead, to be embraced,
for thats what will set you apart from the crowd,
and thats one of the reasons why you are here.
You are here to be different.
That's just who you are

Let me tell you something about courage..

Being at the front line of a war doesn't make you courageous enough,
its the reason that brought you to the front line and standing up for this reason
that marks true courage,
and only a courageous person would admit to his reasons,
understand them,
and believe in them..
with all of his or her heart..

20 things you didn't know about sausages


So yea, i was reading my most favourite magazine EVER, DISCOVER.. and i came across many interesting things as always (DISCOVER has yet to fail me lol), and when i say many interesting things, i do mean MANY. Oh and by the way, this is about to be one of my geeky posts that i think has been MIA for quite a while.. not sure if thats a good thing, or a bad thing lol.. but yea, im just giving y'all a heads up. Very thoughtful, i know lol. So to those who are not into it, can skip this lol. Nah, i'm not offended, it ain't my loss anyway :P

For example, do you know that Virgin airlines is actually on its way to provide the first commercial space travel service? They're calling it Virgin Galactic. And they've actually come up with the craft design for it. Heck, its already being built and going on test runs as we speak, with more than 440 customers plunking down deposits for a seat to board this spaceship. For those aeronautic-maniacs (i know ONE in particular lol and i hope he's reading this :P), do check it out :) Imagine telling your kid one day, "We ain't goin to Disney Land this hols, kids. More of like to the freakin' moon. WHOOPEY!" haha and thats somewhere around the corner folks :)


And do you know that they've actually come up with a synthetic version of a spider web that is tougher than steel fiber? Ideal for tendon replacements, sutures and lightweight textiles. Imagine what we can achieve with such a discovery. And they produce it via the well known cloning technology that we, biomeds, kept having to memorize every freakin' term, by inserting the spider web gene into our fav bacteria, E.coli. How amazingly simple is that? Which got me into thinking, discovering something magnificent doesn't really have to start from a bombastic idea. Sometimes, these little thoughts, these what seemingly small ideas at first, these whispering intuitions can actually bring you somewhere :)

There was also another article, that spoke of our subconscious mind. And if you've been reading and not skipping my geeky posts, u know how im well intrigued by the wonders of our minds lol. It was interesting. It stated of how and i quote, "you are not consciously aware of the vast majority of your brain's ongoing activities," and here's the interesting part "-- nor would you want to be aware of it, it would interfere with the brain's well-oiled processes" haha and its true! For example, the best way to get out of breath is to think about your breathing.. Imagine if we're well aware of our diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contracting while wanting to take a breath, imagine us HAVING to be well aware of it in order to take a breath.. sheeshh, i dont think we can even sleep! huhu Sometimes, our unconscious mind tends to know better, and certain things are best being done naturally. I've always believed that unconsciously, i know more than i think i do hahahaha! And no, ni bukan nak sedapkan hati or anything ehh.. baik sikit.. hahaha. For example, have you experienced a moment where you're given a question, and optional answers, and somehow you believe strongly that A is the answer, like your heart is screaming out A A A A, but you can't seem to figure out WHY you're telling yourself its A.. lol.. have you? I believe that our mind tends to connect things unconsciously, creating a logic that we've yet to assess. Like our motor functions.. Our brain coordinates in its own ways, creating a fluid motion, that our mind can never assess specifically at that particular moment. Only centuries later after Adam took his first breath, did we really figure out the mechanism of it all. Now take that logic, and apply to strings of knowledge and intelligence that we acquire everyday. Imagine the connections that are already there but are yet to be known. And imagine if we can enhance these connections thats creating itself, imagine the amount of logic we'll get in the end, imagine the things we can do huhu wow.

And of course, nothing excites me more than food lol which brings us to this article that i feel like sharing with yous out there :P "The 20 Things You Didn't Know About Sausage" by LeeAundra Keany.

When words fail to describe a feeling, and a song can.



If my core is to sing,
it'll be along these lines..
like a soft whisper,
humming a sacred vibe

and in the midst of its singing,
your words of that particular night
will rewind itself,
again,
and again,
and again..
reminding me
of whats needed to be reminded
so that i can get through this,
and not be left disheartened

and now,
its not sad.
My heart is not sad,
Not anymore.
It has finally ignited.
After months,
Its finally inspired.

And I'm grateful to Him,
for sending me His best help
for sending me a miracle,
for sending u

and i dont think i can ever thank Him enough

Perfection


Perfection is impossible,
and yet people crave for it,
people crave for things to last,
people crave for this so called everlasting sense of happiness,
have you ever wondered why?

It ain't like we've experienced it before in this life to crave for it,
it ain't like things are perfect in this world,
things are never perfect,
they never last either,
and yet its like we know how it feels like,
and yet its like we know how perfection is
and we want it so badly..

and its like,
we're used to it..
we're used to perfection,
we're used to things to last forever..
and we're so so used to it,
that when things don't turn out perfect in this world,
that when things don't last forever,
we break.
we break like our heart has been torn,
like this one true hard fact that was once carved in our hearts had to be erased,
that it becomes so hard for us to accept imperfection,
accept temporariness.
Have you ever wondered why?

They say listen to the heart,
and what we feel deeply,
it never lies.
We crave for perfection and forever
because we were used to perfection once,
we were used to things lasting forever,
its because we were once from a place of perfection,
a place where nothing can go wrong,
where perfection is an effortless occurrence,
that just flows naturally.
and we belong there.
That is our true home.
That is our everlasting perfection that we crave for so much in this world,
everlasting assurance,
comfort,
peace,
an everlasting perfection that can never exist here.
and because of that,
truly we don't belong here.
here, is just a junction,
a labyrinth,
a maze.
A thorn-full maze that we enter blindly,
get scarred so badly,
with only a map of hope,
a lamp of wisdom,
and a shield of faith.

And one day,
we will exit this maze,
leaving our existence like it was a speck of dust,
floating in the blowing wind.
We will exit this maze,
hoping to find home.


So its not a matter of perfection being impossible,
for we had a taste of it once,
it just doesn't exist here,
it belongs elsewhere,
and apparently
so do we.

A Casualty

Too close to see so much in love we stop breathing
Sweet history ain't enough to keep my heart beating
So many tears for you I sacrificed
Too many lies for you I justified
How can you stand there sayin you know who's to blame
How can you act like everything is OK?

It's cold in here

And my heart still wants you to hold me,
baby
You never here
But when you with me I get so lonely

I see you talking but your lips don't make a sound

You see me crying but my tears don't hurt you now
How can you stand there sayin no one's to blame
How can you act like everything is OK?

Don't tell me you love me
Then put a gun to my head
And say I'm not trying, oh
Don't tell me you want me
Then come to my bed
And pretend we're not dyin'
One of us has gone to be
One of us is gonna be
A casualty

Breathe in, breathe out,

Defeat that doubt
Over and over again
I stand there, too cold,
Remember and I'd fall
Over and over again

One of us has gone to be

One of us is gonna be
A casualty

Laughter we never faked :)

Everyday there's a thousand things
That somehow pass us by,
Got to cut through the noise
So you can know what love sounds like
I'm comin' to your frequency,
To 106 point me
So there's no
Distractions

Take a breath
Take it in
Love has no expiration date
My heart will always beat for you
At a constant rate
It will outlast everything
you think is set in stone
It goes on and on and on and on,
On and on and on and on...

Everyone is looking for a special connection

But it's like your compass points
A million directions
Do you need me to buy you
A telescope so you can see
How good
This could be

Spastic like
Neon Lights
Can you feel my love?
Loud and clear
Pulls you near
Can you feel me love?


We got all the memories
So much more we can see
Better than our first kiss
Snow falling at Christmas
Like sleeping in on Sunday
Laughter we never faked
Bob Marley in Summer
One love for each other

Oh it feels like...


Fireflies

Day and night
Can you feel my love?

And I'll wait for you
As long as it takes
Until I get through
And it hits you right in the face

Can you feel my love?

Can you feel my love?

~ 19 :) ~
