new year

isn't it fast?
all you know, it's already the end of the year?

and you wondered.
what did you do in 2005?

a couple of friends i know,
wanted the year to end so badly, excited to bring in the new year.
cause they said and think 2005 wasn't a good year for them.

and it kept me thinking.
how did my 2005 went?
was it good? was it bad?
and why do people said that it wasn't a good year?

well, all that i know is that i'm thankful enough that i'm able to wake up and experience the next day.
and i treasured and valued each day, every seconds.
no day can ever be like the day before.
every day is a new beginning.
yes, of course you have the same rountine. but there is always new faces that keeps popping up. eg, at the bus stop, at the cafe, in the library, etc.
with that, it has already made a difference.

2006 is just a year.
does it means anything?
what? you expected 2006 a year full of magic?
a year that you strike it rich?
a year that you found your soul mate?
a year which you have no bad hair days?
a year that you can get those distinctions?

why must it be 2006?
why can't you do it in 2005?

why? 2006 is a magical year huh?
is 2006 going to be a fairyland where your wishes will come true?
dream on.
it's just like any other ordinary days.

can't you see?
the power lies in yourself.
you.
you make the choice.
you see yourself.
your brain is really the most wonderful complicated gift from almighty god.
it can do wonders to you.
the brain has the ability to think, to recall, to memorise, to imagine.

the more negative remarks you made up in your mind, you are definitely becoming a failure.
forgive yourself for the mistakes you have done.
start afresh on every new day.

in 1 year, there is 365 days.
in 1 day, there is 24 hours.
thus in 1 year, there is 8,760 hours that is equivalent to 525,600 minutes which is in fact, 31,536,000 seconds.

the year doesn't make you someone.
actually, the seconds does.

yes, you may think that 2005 it's really an unlucky year.
because maybe you went bankrupt.
maybe your girl/guy left you.
there are listless reasons.
but try seeing it as a challenge.
a challenge from god to make you a better person.
a challenge that you are able to know about yourself, to know your weakness.
you can never ever learn enough of yourself cause we all are unpredictable.

don't think you have a bad start, the whole year is going to be bad.
cause if you do think so, try taking it as a lesson.
understand the subject well enough in order to score.
part and parcel of life.

without sadness, can you know what is true happiness?
without flowers there is no fruits.

keep this in mind :
you can never affect only yourself.
without fail, there is always another party who is affected.

the point that i'm getting at is :
have patience.
if the things/guy/girl is meant to be yours, sooner or later it will.
if not, accept it.
you may even have a better outcome.

i bet some do have question marks.
well, i can't deny the topic is really deep.
go start pondering and share with me yours.

rather than celebrating new year, try reflecting.
