Because of her devotion and love to such a young awesome superstar… , she was given a once in a lifetime chance to meet the teenage talent, and the result:
It just goes to show that crying somehow does get you what you want!
I’m 33, turning 34 this year and I am still going strong. I still have goals and dreams that I wish to achieve and am no where near satisfied with my current progression. I’ve had two operations so far, one that I am thankful for because without it I would be a goner. I’ve gone through a rough childhood and teenage years that has left me with mental and physical scars. I never knew about my Mother until I was twelve and find out the previous years was just a lie. I’ve been teased and mistreated simply because of my appearance and my background. I’ve survived a car accident after having been T-boned by a car traveling towards my side at 60 or so kilometers an hour. I’ve lost a friend who was with me the previous night and was forced between seeing my Mother off at the airport or be a pall bearer to someone I hope to see one day again. I’ve made the wrong choices in careers and am just making up for it now. I’ve been labeled a nobody and have had to prove myself over countless times.
The list can go on and though what I’ve recollected may sound doom and gloom, all it has done is shape me to who I am today. It’s only because I have experienced loss and failure that I am able to succeed at anything that life has put me through. The best and worst has yet to come, but the lousiest thing I can do is be cynical and count myself out. I’ll do my best to look at the positives no matter what the situation. I will always count on my peers, friends and loved ones for support and for them to bring out the best in me.
Conan O’Brien said this “Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. I’m telling you. Amazing things will happen.”
Remember that, because when you look at what lies ahead and think that you’re about to experience nothing but shit, then that’s what you are exactly going to get. So take a deep breath and cheer up because we only get one chance in this life and you just have to make the most of it.
Her: Who do you think is more awesome, me or him?
Me: What??
Her: You have to answer the question…
Me: I don’t believe you’re asking me this question at 2 o’clock in the morning!!!
Who the hell asks a question ever so random at that time of the morning???
So my flatmate has me doing these random questions and it’s a good exercise into recollecting memories. If anyone is interested in following myself or my flatmate, you can simply follow this link http://formspring.me/Vudison
I clicked on asking myself a random question and I ended up with this one: What was the happiest moment in your life?
There’s too many to mention, I have a lot of happy moments and I cherish each one, there’s the time where you kiss the woman you love and you feel safe, or probably a funny story that I remember where one day when I was a young teen. Two of my friends and myself were riding our bikes back from the shop and encountered a young kid who was just walking home. My friends being the young fools that they were, decided to pick a fight with him just to scare him and mess with his head. I got involved and told them to leave the kid alone, since he was young and just minding his own business. Besides pretty stupid for two older teens to be picking on someone who is smaller and younger then the both of them. Anyways some hours passed on and a family rocked up to my house while my family and I were having a BBQ. I instantly saw the young kid and knew that it was his family, the father stepped forward and shook my hand. In front of my family, he commended me on my actions and said that it was a noble thing to do. I’m not sure how he worked out where I live but managed to find me somehow.
Anyways with good praises and a smile from my mother, I did the stupidest thing and that was to cry, cause I didn’t even know how to react to such praises. I hardly got praises as a kid and that definitely was one that would shape my respect for people regardless of who they are. Kind of reminds me the time I got bullied at school and stood up to him by beating him up in a fit of rage. My friends all cheered me on and gathered around me for my victory but the thing they got to witness was me crying at my own feat ….. Talk about fail on a emotional win level.
Join me in the random chat if anyone has time and ask me some questions and I’ll ask some back
I have always wanted to make sure that no matter what I do, the outcome is calculated and definite. I think that’s the general rule with everyone but I hate to make a decision that has no definite outcome or just a mystery. Take for example, when I was forced to move out when things were very tough at home 14 years or so ago, I had to make sure that I had a place to stay, an income to support myself and that I will be alright. Things have been great and because of my choice to move out, I haven’t looked back since and enjoyed everything that I have lived through. However things could’ve turned out much differently, if I just rushed the whole process and didn’t think things through, nothing like looking the fool when you move out then returning a few months later because of your own stupidity.
There’s only been a few times though when I have actually have stepped out of my comfort zone and stopped thinking so much ( I hate it when I do that). Like the time where I had decided to switch from hospitality to doing retail then IT. Bizarre career moves at first glance and computer gaming had something to do with it but hey without that whole experience, I wouldn’t have met all the wonderful people around the world and this country. Then there was the time where I believed in an Angel and followed that all the way to New York, that was a memorable journey if I may say so myself.
Anyways I have waited patiently for this moment, but I got some good news recently and it involves in a promotion. It’s not entirely a promotion but I accepted a job at a level in the public service that I’ve always wanted and the pay suits me just fine. I am thankful and humble for the opportunity, and really do hope that I can do my best and prove my worth to the new team that I will spend the next four months with. However there are some doubts that has been raised with this offer and that it’s a non-ongoing contract, meaning that come the end of June, I may find myself unemployed and without a job. I did have a choice and that was to stay with the company that I am currently employed to and they’ll contract me out for that duration (with same pay and benefits). At least by contract’s end, I would have a job but I would be shifted programs and I may not even like the job that I would assigned to.
I had to think long and hard about this decision, but decided that it was time that I took a leap of faith and trusted myself for once. That’s half the problem with anything I do really, I doubt myself and think too much that I turn down an opportunity. It’s like shooting myself in the foot because I’m so damn scared of what lies ahead. It doesn’t help that the people around me push me and even praise me on my work and who I am, but yet I still hold myself back.
Kind of reminds me of the time I was going out with a special someone, but I let doubts and worries creep into my head, even possibly listening to other people who tell you that it won’t work out and what not. Stupid actions led to stupid decisions and I regret it, but I have to move on and learn from my mistakes. Hence why I have to do this and just take a leap of faith. No more safe bets or worrying, it’s really time that I back myself up and trust in myself. Otherwise I am just going to be a child who is unable to make his own decisions and rely on others to make it for him.
There was so many things that I vowed I would never do the moment I would get into any relationships. The vows that I made were; I would never take a picture with any girlfriend and I would only take it, if I felt that the relationship would last for quite a while. The other was that I would try to save myself for marriage since I thought that once I lose it that it no longer had any meaning. There was also a vow where that I would get rid of everything that my girlfriend had ever given me and leave no trace behind. The last being that no matter what, all ties would be cut off and friendship was definitely out of the question. Since I was 17 though, those rules have swayed a little and let’s just say I’ve become more flexible and soft perhaps. It’s a good thing though and as you progress further into life, you definitely mature and become more tolerant.
Reflecting back on those vows, they have all dissapeared and are pretty much non-existant. It’s a good thing too, because if not I would be a stubborn fool who is too stupid to admit his mistakes on the past. Let’s have a look at the vows and what happened of them.
1. Breaking all ties and no friendship: I don’t know when I changed that rule but I think it had something to do with relationships that ended amicably. I couldn’t exactly be upset or just be silent to someone who I still didn’t mind talking to. Especially in the circumstances where I had met someone in the U.S, and it was best to just stay friends rather then try carrying on a relationship that was so hard to maintain. I think I’m still on good terms with all the girls in the latter stage of my life and it’s good because there are times that I do wanna catch up and see what has happened since I last saw them. Even maybe ask them what I was like and if I could’ve improved in any particular areas during our time together. History exists for a reason and to me it’s to learn from the past to move forward.
2. Saving myself for marriage: When I started this blog I wrote a post talking about my first time, and if you read that then you would remember that I had lost it at when I turned 20. Feelings and spur of the moment had a lot to do with that, and in a way I’m glad I did because I believe that love making is an extension of our feelings and how we display our affections. I know there’s different way of expressing your emotions but to me, being able to physical express yourself is a unbelievable human experience that we don’t always get to share with others. It means much more when you have very deep love and connection for that special someone. Can you picture that?? Kissing the person who you know you’re going to be with forever and the euphoria that comes with that??
3. Destroying all things related to the girl: I deeply regret this one because I destroyed so many love letters and things that I had created, wrote or did. I think when I first started being in a relationship, I use to write daily love letters and poems. I even told one of my good friends to take one box of letters that I use to collect while going out with a particular girl and burn it at his house. Thinking that he wouldn’t since he knew how much I liked this girl, it turns out that he did since I couldn’t stop talking about her and it was a very unhealthy obsession. The story behind this, was that it was the first time I got cheated on and the dude was my best friend and the ex girlfriend and best friend ended up getting married anyways. But I wish that I was able to read what I wrote and how love struck was I? Thank God that the internet exists because there was a blog I use to troll on and write so much stuff all related to one girl. I read back on it sometimes and it sickens me because oh my gosh was I really that blinded with love?
4. Picture with girlfriends: That definitely had to be scrapped and I think I broke free of that rule at the same time with said experience above. It was purely accidental and I think it was the time we were both interested and went out one night, and took a picture together. I remember when we both took it and it got developed, it was a great picture and I knew that we would later develop into something more then friends. Let’s not forget that with the change and rise of technology, taking pictures has become so much more easier. I also want to be able to recall the life that I had and what was going through my mind in any pictures I see.
But let’s say that I was seeing someone and we were going along quite steadily then one day she either goes through my PC or my personal belongings and found this photo:
She may lose the plot and ask me what the f*ck am I doing with this photo and why didn’t I get rid of it etc. However shouldn’t she take the time to step back and wonder who that person might be and not jump into conclusions?? Even if it was someone who I use to call my girlfriend, should it even matter since it’s all in the past and it doesn’t mean anything more then just a memory? I’m sure regardless there’ll be some explaining to do and knowing me I’d probably bend her way and please her. SEE!!! Who says that old habits are hard to die??
