"it's like in life when you know someone better: you know his dark side and his bad habits, but it doesn't mean that you like him less." french author bernard-henri levy.

i've been trying to read newsweek. 48 hours and 13 pages down. its no small feat ok. it almost killed all my brain cells. anyway, the only thing that really caught my eye and stayed in my brain is the quote above. i wish that everyone could be like this, and everyone thought that everyone else is like that. then people would stop being so judgemental and being so afraid of being judged.
---
it doesn't mean that when you discover a character flaw in someone, you allow that flaw to overwhelm everything else about that person. believe me, i know it's tough to try to NOT ignore that pesky little twit. but sometimes when you force yourself to be nice and give a smile to a person you hate, you'll realise that liking someone is always much easier than hating.
---
and for goodness sake, don't try to hide all your bad points. when you see someone who is so perfect and just plain angelic, you can sense that lack of warmth. louis vuitton handbags that fakeness. that insincerity. whereas, if you are able to show everyone who you really are and people still embrace your goodness AND badness, then you can feel real acceptance. what's the pt of putting on a facade and letting everyone love that mask? then no one will like you cos no one even knows who you are.
---
DON'T RESTRAIN YOURSELF! sure, some people might hate you, but that's their problem. i gurantee you the friends you make would be REAL GOOD SOLID TRUE friends.
---
there's a conflict though. i want to be myself, but sometimes you're trying to get rid of your weaknesss as well. like if im selfish, i can't say "oh. that's who i am" and spend the rest of my life being a mean old scrooge. i've gotta change somehow. so i guess just try to change the part you're not happy with, and keep the parts you like about yourself. what's most important is the ability to embrace yourself for who you are.
---
disclaimer: im not directing this at anyone. just that i accidentally deleted my own blog entry (sotong). so im retyping it in here!
---
its quite sad that i actually HAVE to write a disclaimer. are you guys THAT sensitive about your own feelings? but im scared someone's gonna get offended. like GET A GRIP! don't let people's words affect you so much! live for yourself, not for others!
---
disclaimer(again): not meant to suan anyone ok.
---
sigh.
---
oh well! let's cross my fingers that no one's gonna complain about THIS blog.
---
i know i can't write as well as peishan (oh myyyy, your entry totally left me in awe) or pengsing or kwang guan, but stuff i say comes straight from my heart, so don't mind me if suddenly got alot of typos or grammar or spelling mistakes:D

siao ah 11.35pm only my mum ask me to sleep. but im guai kia! okay, have to brush my teeth. so for now,



end.
