Its is always a pleasure to meet a very fragile , funny and fantastic soul once in an unexpected moment .

We are so different yet so similiar and that is why I am like a body without a soul whenever we can’t talk or play games . Just to be around you in silence or with words is enough for me.

Teh, you never know how much I have learned from you over the months we have been bonding … I love the way you tackle my Sharon moods and I find it so adorable your pabebe moments .

Your resilience impressed me , You are a beautiful face with a very witty mind , compassionate heart and a sweet soul.

You are as perfect with your imperfectness,

Secure and confident despite of your insecurities

A Mother, a sister, blitz competitor and a friend to your children ..

The way you choose your battles is a reflection on how you face the complexity of life with a smile .

Teh , you are love by many and admired by the few whom you allowed to share your inner self .

For those of us who have witness your fire we feel lucky

Thank you Teh for the friendship and Love …

Introduction

Hello this is a very deep stuff to tackle .. So let’s talk, I am no expert but I know what it is to be in that place where in you have fought a good fight and you felt like you have given every inch of your strength .Yet the struggle still continues and as if the whole world is mocking you.

Hey pretty soul lighten up !!! You are aware that at this point it seems like so dark , heavy and the pain is unbearable . I have been there too and the good news is it will just get better . And the pain will soon be bearable if We choose to step out in that battlefield to have a better insight of the war that we are fighting for.

Stepping out doesn’t mean walking away from the conflict.

When we stay too long on a same situation we are stuck in that view that we have . We were convinced that it is the only logical road to salvation . Sometimes it is very good to take a time out or just by simply taking a deep breath .

Stepping away means reassessing ourselves and the situation the we are in. Why is this affecting you so much ? how long would you like to allow such conflict to dominate you. Always remember WE ARE THE SOLE NAVIGATOR OF OUR LIFE and all that happens around us is our responsibility.

When we are ready to redirect and refocus ourselves walk back in the battlefield with another weapon in our hands ..The weapon of Positivity

Acknowledging your Weakness

This is probably difficult because looking at the eyes of your weakness means looking at your failures and shortcomings . But hey , we have just discussed that we will tackle this with positive attitude .

Acknowledging your weakness means becoming Vulnerable and there is nothing wrong with it . I believe that there is no other way in building up our inner strength if we dont know where our achilles heel . It is like when we have weak back we tend to exercise that more to make it stronger or at school if we are not so good with math we then study the subject harder to have better grade.

It is the same thing with our weakness having a one on one date with him and get to know him better means having a deeper understanding about ourselves and why are we reacting on certain situations . Being aware of certain precipitating factors helps us become the master of our emotions .

Knowing our weakness means building up our Self Strength .

Visualizing our Strength

Bare with me on this .. I usually do this whenever I am in a very difficult situations or when I am stressed and have had enough !!

Sit down , be silent ,listen to your breath and close your eyes . Imagine that there is this little fire burning within you . Feel it’s warmth and find it … I usually find mine in the middle of my stomach . Touch the place where that flame is glowing .

Breath , now feel that the flame that you are touching, visualize the warmth that is exuding . This is your strength or courage or kindness whatever it is that you need for that day.

Let that flame glow brighter , let it ignite your whole being to the point that you can smile and tell yourself its going to be okey.

Try this and find your innermost fire let it burn and destroy all the negativities that your mind have.

Lastly Have a coffee with a Friend who understands the anatomy of Trust .

In the book Anatomy of Trust by Dr. Brenè Brown she have discussed the anatomy of trust and has given it an acronym and that is ¹. BRAVING . So lets have a cup of coffee with a friend who understands BRAVING

She knows the BOUNDERIES and respect it . She is RELIABLE and holds ACCOUNTABLE to her actions . A Vault that whatever we will tell her dies with her. She has INTERGRITY to choose what is right over fun .

The next one is very important for me she is NOT JUDGEMENTAL on whatever story that you will tell her and lastly she is GENEROUS to understand us.

Our friends the real ones are part of the our inner strength . A hug , a smile or a nod is more than enough for us to know that we are not alone in this hardest moment .

I have been through the hardest storm of my life .. I have cried a river of tears but at the end I always humble myself down, talk to life and thank him for the lessons that he is constantly giving me .

A beautiful soul means , she has survived through the toughest times and she is not ashame of sharing her scars for she believe these are part of her whole being.

For those of you who are in struggle discover that strength by knowing your weakness and limitations . When we know our Vulnerabilities we know where to find that glowing flame inside us. And believe that not all days are rainny days the sun will soon rise.

To my friends, my dolphins thank you for always taking the wild ride with me without any hesitation .I am forever grateful

Dearest Caloi , 

  Our path had cross years ago for so wonderful reasons ( part of it was charming me with your rice cooking ability ) . You have taught me a lot of things about myself . I have always look up to you with love and respect. Reprimanding me is like a music to my ears . Teasing you and making you say ” agi waweng” due to reckless behaviour is  part of our friendship . 

  The blackhole that we had . I believe was more about Us figuring ourlives how to make it stable. On my side fighting the evils that i am dealing . We did it well Healing apart !  Those years of silence , i consider as our growing time . Learning different experiences . 

  These life experiences makes us more stronger and our friendship more colorful. You are STILL the same Loida I love and will always love . I am glad that we are still so much in love with our  friendship ( despite of the gap years) .

  In this lifetime we are lucky to have a Friend who understand you deeper than a sister and compliment your other shade .. I am lucky to have you  

  Thank you for constantly my reminding me  , my crazy talking partner and ice cream hunter betterhalf .. thank you for walking in my life way back then . I love you 

Ok I was planning to share an ice cream recipe of which i haven’t made. I just want to sound chique 😁😁. Since I am Tink and friends call me as JAckie of all trade (sister of Jack ). So lets make this as easy as possible (even though we know its not ) .

We all fall in love ( it can be with someone or something) at some point in our life. You know that kind of love that we thought would last forever . But then after a year or so things went downhill and you have decided to part ways .

Here is what I do to console my aching heart.

– Get a sundae glass

– Slice some colorful fruits

– 3 scoops of Vanilla ice cream

Procedure :

– Your life is full of meaning . You don’t feel that at this point . But trust me it is . Like your sundae glass, you are stylish and part of something important.

– Place the colorful fruits at the bottom of the sundae glass . Every situation that we have been through or we are into at this moment . It is always filled with colorful experiences some of them are good and some are hurtful . Appreciate the colors that you have been through. Never fixiate yourself to one shade ,for it will make you bitter and boring .

– Add the 3 scoops of Vanilla ice cream . Be neutral and open to the new and upcoming circumstances . Be like a Vanilla ,exquiste ,important yet neutral.

Topped these with chocolate sauce of boldness , whip cream of “I will be ok” and cherry of smile .

I can assure you whatever your in ,you

will be a better (not bitter) person
and looking back at this specific moment , you will smile and shake your head .

Enjoy your Ice cream and remember that the sun will always rise up and will shine at your horizon .
❤
