Caution in Love
"Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness."
Bertrand Russell, philosopher and writer
The Heart and The Mind
Then...
The Heart feels like leaping,
but the Mind says,
"Why take chances when you know you'll be hurt?"
The Heart leaps forward.
It fell down and got hurt.
But it stood up again.
The Heart feels like fighting,
but the Mind says,
"Why fight a battle you'll never win?"
The Heart keeps on fighting.
It lost and was disappointed.
But it got stronger.
Now...
The Heart feels like crying
but the Mind says,
"What is there to cry for?"
The Heart kept silence.
And it is secretly crying - inside.
Not knowing why it's still shedding tears.
Not knowing why it's still bleeding.
For something that was never there.
The Mind is finding reasons.
Reasons to save the Heart.
Finding reasons not to shed tears.
Finding reasons not to bleed.
For something that was never there.
Really, what is there to cry for now?
Now that it's finally over..
"And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow"Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls

I remembered a new cYber fReN asKin me aLL 0f th0se thinGs ReCeNtLy... aNd mY aNsWeRed is Like This " life?? excited for 2008, w0rk = waiting for SQ interview tomorrow, love = zero"
Life, yea, lets taLk ab0ut life... Life is a stRuGGLe.. Life is a j0uRneY bf0re I ReaCh mY fiNish LiNe...

Bec0me 25 at da eNd 0f last 2007, had made me tRembLin f0r a whiLe of yunno, w0t ppl caLLed 'a quaRteR LiFe cRisis' But the fact is, it is n0t dat c0mplicated but it is 0s0 n0t eaSy.. 0redy make s0me c0mmitmeNts f0r LiFe aNd leaRnin' t0 see things fr0m diffeRent siDe..a ReaLitY cHecK i GueSs..

Now, the above paragraphs are just a cut from the whole piece (quite a long piece, by the way). But it's enough to show what I'm trying to express here. Out of annoyance and curiosity, I managed to finish reading the whole post. Trying to really understand what her points were through all the misspellings (ReMinIcInG), lousy slangs and lingos (oso, w0t), bad grammars (Life oso a cho0se f0r eVeRy iNdividuaL), and - the worst part of all - the combination of alphabets and numbers, plus the misuse of uppercase and lowercase used in the writings (no need for any example, you've seen it clearly).
It was posted on a friend's page as her thoughts for the day or some sort of reflection. And I know that she was clearly trying to say something serious. But, really...
I mean, for gawd's sake, why would anyone want to go through the hassle of typing such sentences? I'm lost! And hellooooo... Didn't you notice that it's not easy to be read? It's a pain-in-the-arse! It is not cool. It is nowhere near cute. And it makes you look St0oPid.. uhm sorry, I mean stupid.
So please, do yourself a favor. Write normally. Unless you're on SMS, which doesn't allow for such long and proper writing. Or unless you're chatting online on instant messengers, then it could be forgiven in a way - but just for the slangs and lingos, not the alphabets/numbers and uppercase/lowercase combo. Not ever.
Other than that, if you want to post a piece of your mind to be seen (and read) by the whole world wide web, then write normally and properly. People would take you (more) seriously, you'll get your messages straight across. Plus, you'll look smarter and cooler. Grammar and spelling mistakes aside, as they're not my biggest issue here. But if you have time to write in such manner then I assume you'd have all the time in the world to work on them. It's for your own good. I've made the same mistakes in the past and that's why I'm working on it too (the slangs, lingos, grammars, and spellings - not the dreaded combo). Because I wanted to improve. And not look like some sort of a stupid teenager with no access to proper education.
Okay, so am I officially a bitch now for bitching about this?

(Making) Room for Love
(Sunday, January 13, 2008)
him:
oh sorry to sneak in the book tht way and not even writing anything
basically what i hv to say is . . .i just came across the book .. and thought of you ...
and i felt that perhaps everyone chooses their own path in life.
and pray there is that little room for love in yours !!
her:
hahha
yeah i was expecting some personalized notes ;P
but it's fine
thanks for the thought
him:
when i say love, is a man that is to love you infinitely =) am sure he will to avail one day very soon
her:
soon.. maybe =)
thanks for the sweet thoughts
him:
pleasure! =)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I have chosen my path.
And you have chosen your path.
We were to go separate ways from the beginning.
Our paths only crossed once, never to join nor to link.
Your room is finally filled.
Mine, I guess, is still under (eternal) construction.
Few have occupied it, including you.
All have only stayed (so) briefly, including you.
But nevertheless, thank you.
For once painting my room sweet cherry red.
One last hug.
And so this is goodbye..
