just a reminder to myself...

got this from zaidah..very interesting..


Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't over do; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

The day I miss all of them...

As i was listening to Ahmir's version of Bye Bye..tiba-tiba mata bergenang ....rasa cam miss all those who were close to me that have passed away...

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high.
We will never say bye. No, no, no

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins.
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers.
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through

All them grown folk things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
there's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

Never knew I could hurt like this
and everyday life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give em the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

You never got a chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give em the world to see your face
and be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye.

I never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)
And everyday life goes on I wish (Everyday of my life I wish)
I could talk to you for a while (I wish)
Miss you but I try not to cry (I wish I wish as time goes by)
As time goes by

And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give em the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

[Repete in background]
[Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye]

It's hard to say bye bye bye bye bye bye
So come on somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high
Ay 'Cause this is for my peoples who just lost somebody
So this is for everybody
Just lift your hands to the sky
'Cause we will never say bye bye
