You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small
But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow
Today my sister was telling us about this MTV show bout sweet sixteens or something like that, and she watched this uber spoiled girl demand a huge ship with a pink carpet and shoes from itely etc. for her sweet sixteen. and i thought of my sweet sixteen. there were many memorable events from it but the part i loved the most, that i made it one of the best birthdays i've had, was spending it in sweet cafe with shum, vonne, james, nagu and faris. i wore my crazy rainbow shoes from my friends for the first time there, and when we wanted to take a group picture, i looked absolutely horrible. haha, i was in my specs, with my hair all tied up in a messy bun, my orange uniform shirt riding up to my waist as it always does. and i think shum asked me if i wanted to take my specs out for the picture(which i have no idea where it is now, the pic i mean) and i said no, i liked being able to look like that at my birthday, to still be loved by my awesometastic friends, no matter who i am. true colours eh? =) i think i'll always remember that, seems so minor compared to bigger events in my life, but still as always, it's the little things in life that count. =)
lately i've been talking a lot about my life, more than i usually do i think. but it seems like i have this new way of looking at things lately, i'm just more thankful and more sensitive to the little things that happen. you know, i learnt that in every situation, no matter how horrible, there is ALWAYS something to be able to thank God for. thank Him for family, friends that stay by your side, or even just for the rain that watered the garden for us or having just enough money for dinner that day. cause when you do, it makes you see that the little things are all part of a much bigger plan. that like pieces of a puzzle, not the 6-piece kind, but the million piece kind, where each moment of our lives, every little one, is significant and each builds us to become who we are. and sometimes if you say life sucks, you may be right. but if you say there's absolutely nothing good in it, nothing worth being happy about, no one moment of perfection to be grateful to God for, i'll tell you to look harder. and when you see the beauty of life, and your life, you'll be amazed, and the bad stuff? it won't matter so much anymore. =)
advice from square root michelle: make it happen. =)
we were complaining bout not finding anything on our rush hour shopping trip before dinner and she said we gotta make it happen. i think it could be a pretty valuable lesson in life too. you want a better life? make it happen. you want to make new friens? make it happen. if you are reading this now, i hope you realize just how much control we have over our lives. many times we blame our circumstances, stuff we cannot control, when our life isn't going well. even if that is so, YOU have the power to change things. make it happen. and when it happens, don't forget to thank our great God for it.
and remember that in every situation, no matter how ugh or sucky, there's always a lesson to learn. a new person to befriend. a lesson to teach. a life to impact. it's all about the attitude we have towards that situation. so chins up, smile and take whatever comes, with a rocking, positive 'tude. =D good night!
Make it happen! :)
