Is change really good?

Many things have changed in my life. Is change always for the better? I want to say yes but I just don’t know. I understand that change doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing but my mind can only remember those changes that left me with unpleasant feelings. I know that I just need to embrace the changes and move forward into a new life. I need to make the best out of it. I hope for those who are still reading my blog can view change in a positive light. I admit that I struggle to do that myself but as long as we try, our days will be so much brighter.

Frequent User of MSN Messenger

I realize I’m way more open on MSN than I am in person or on the phone. Some people think MSN is an impersonal way of communicating and that people can easily misunderstand what you truly mean. I kind of agree. I have had people misunderstand me and it was somewhat difficult to clarify or correct those misinterpretations. But on the other hand, I am more comfortable sharing my personal hardships or thoughts through MSN. I am also more inclined to tease people or laugh at people too. =P I find it’s probably due to the fact that I don’t have to worry about how they react. I don’t have to see their face so who cares? You don’t have to experience the awkwardness of seeing them face to face plus I also have time to think about my responses. MSN is a more convenient way for me to keep in touch with people. All I can say is I’m not afraid to share on MSN. If you really want to know me, log into MSN and ask me anything you want! Yes, ANYTHING!

I will try to cry a little less and laugh a whole lot more…

Those close to me will know that the last few months have been extremely hard for me. I won’t go into too much detail but I will tell you that I didn’t handle these stressors very well. In the game of life, we face hurdles constantly but I never imagined myself having to face so many hurdles at once. It’s still a work in progress… sometimes these hurdles just seem too high. I know I have a choice to make. I can either back away from the hurdles and let it stop me from moving forward or jump higher and farther than I ever thought I could. I’m working towards the latter but sometimes my heart and mind doesn’t allow. Something seems to always hold me back. A lot has happened and I continue to ask myself many questions. Do I have the heart, energy and determination to overcome all these obstacles in my life? How much time do I need to give? When can I be happy again?

And the answer is...

The back of a stiletto heel!

Hopefully you all had some fun participating in my game… even if you didn’t attempt to guess. Did that photo stimulate your brain a little? Let’s hope it did. There were definitely some great guesses and I was quite amazed with all the different responses to what it could be. Unfortunately I am not able to honour the prize this time around. Someone did actually get it right but because of his/her unwillingness to post a comment, I have decided not to mention his/her name on my blog! Ha Ha! You know who you are! =P Hmmm… just thinking… this person sure must own many pairs of stilettos. =P

From this game, you can see how the human eye can perceive things so differently. This just proves we all don’t view things the same way.

What is it eh?

So in the past couple of days since starting my blog, I’ve been brainstorming around what I can do to keep my blog interesting. I wanted to create something fun… something that could possibly make you visit my site more than just once or twice. :) So after some thought, I decided to put together a game. The object of this game is very simple… the title of this post explains it very well. What you need to do is guess what object is in that picture to the right. As you can probably tell, I cropped the original photo so that the object is harder to identify. I will only reveal the answer once I have 5 guesses. So go post your guess in the comments section NOW! The prize for the winner you ask? Hmmm… a mention of your name on my blog of course! :)

Another work day

I was not in a jolly mood when I went into work today. I guess no one is really happy on Mondays. It's so hard to look forward to Mondays unless you really LOVE your job... it's even harder when I've been off for a month and my knee/leg is still bothering me. I believe most of you know that I had knee surgery back in February and I'm still recovering from it. Having a screw, a pin and a staple permanently embedded inside my knee is certainly not a great feeling. I wish there was something that I could do to take away all the pain and discomfort. Yes, there are pain killers but the relief is only temporary...sigh.

At work today, I received an email from an ex-coworker. This email made me laugh and added some spark to my gloomy day. She told me there's a person who sits beside her at work that keeps saying it's the end of our "physical"year. It was driving her nuts! She wanted to stand on her chair and scream FISCAL! It is the end of our fiscal year. I agree with her that I really don't think anyone would want to see a physical year end. :)

Thanks

Thanks to those who visited my blog and those who posted comments. I am truly having fun creating this site... hopefully my writings won't put you to sleep. :)

The Launch

There's always a first for everything and finally, the day has come. Peeps, here I present to you my blog titled Just Because. I've always wanted to start a blog but never seem to have time for it or maybe I should say it just wasn't a priority for me. My blog will be a place for me to randomly express my thoughts about everything and anything. I will not hesitate to share my life with you through this blog. I see blogging as a great way for those who already know me, to know me even better. I know some of you out there reading this will think I'm crazy. You're probably thinking why am I sharing my thoughts with everyone... even strangers? My answer is Just Because... Sometimes there isn't always an answer to every question. At this moment, this is what I feel like doing... so I did it. This is only the beginning so please bear with me. Feel free to post comments... love to hear from you!
