Once there was a spice called Salt. He had a friend called Pepper. They were good friends. Never sepereated from each other. Together they were found on the dinning table. Together they were used as a spice by humans. One day, their owner had a feast. Lots of people came. Both Salt and Pepper sat on the dinning table. They started chatting about their backgrounds and what they were made of.
They found out that they were made under different company, different things, and different ways. They felt it was rather weird because the both of them were so different yet they still can be such good friends. And so, their friendship grew deeper.
A little kid came by. She was rather bored and asked Salt and Pepper why does people always put them both together? Salt replied " That is because we are good friends and people always use us together." She turned to Pepper and asked "Then why is it so that mummy used Salt more than Pepper?" Pepper replied "Because I am more like a back up. If your mummy put too much of Salt, then she would add me to neutralise Salt." The kid just nods and went off to her way.
Salt turn to Pepper and say "What do you mean by neutralise? Are you saying that just because you are jealous that her mother used me more than she used you?" Pepper shaked his head and said "No, my friend. It is because when you went too far, I am there for you."
Be happy that your friends are different from you. They come to you because they are willing to help you out of trouble when you are in one. They are there when you feel down and lonely. They are your companion when you need one. They are your tissue when you cry. They are your umbrella when you are under a rain. They are your jacket when you feel cold. They are your light when you are in the dark.
Sometimes they are not just your friends but these people are your family too. Love them and they will love you. To all my friends around the world. If you are reading this, just to let you know I love you too.

October
So fast and it is October already.. Seems like time flies while we are waiting for it to pass. Sooner it will be my birthday and I am going to turn 15. At this moment, i should be very excited but this year everything is different. There isn't much excitement to be expected. October to me is like a birthday month. It is the month whereby most of the people I know are having birthdays.
Normally, I would be jumping up and down thinking about my upcoming birthday but I realise that it isn't actually the birthday we are celebrating. We are actually celebrating the year that has past. The knowledge we have learnt and the moments we have had. It sort of seemed like celebrating a new year and all that has passed is going to go the the column called 'past'.
At the beginning of the year I told myself that this is going to be the year of change. The year that EVERYTHING is going to change. And that includes me. It sure did change. Unknowingly, almost EVERYTHING in my life changed. People, and lots more around me changes situations.
When we celebrate birthdays, the birthday person gets a new age. Some adults don't really like to let people know their age. Not saying every adult but just some. Actually age is nothing but a number of year you have been living on earth. We should be glad that our age is bigger than the others. It shows that we have lived for how long on earth. I am glad that I am going to be a 15 because I have learnt for 15 years and I am using all that I have learnt.
So for those of you who are having birthdays on October, HAPPY BIRTHDAY~!! May you have a great new year of wonders and knowledge ahead of you. Also wish you have a wonderful age and memorable moments with your family.

Happiness
When you make someone happy, you will feel happy too. But that happiness isn't like any happiness. It is called inner joy. Happiness comes anytime you want it to. It can be now at this moment. Or later in a few minutes. It isn't neccesarry to make someone happy to be happy. You can be happy now. If only you choose to be happy.
You don't have to be rich, have a nice car, a beautiful house, or have all the desires that can fulfill yourself to be happy. Desires are forever there and will always be there. It is eternal. As human beings, our desire of wanting more never finishes. So never depend on fulfilling ourselves with all the desires because we will keep wanting for more.
We can choose to be anytime we want. We can choose happiness over sadness when we are not happy. We can choose to feel happy and let happiness flow through us so that we won't feel sad at all. In other words, we can be the ones who make the change and be happy. When we are happy, people around us will feel happy too. Then they will be happy and other people around them got influenced and be happy. If this keeps continuing then everyone in the world can be happy.
This is a shortcut to happiness. For those who believe in karma, they have a saying that what goes around comes around, it is true. When you be the one who is happy then maybe after a few minutes or days, you can feel happy from other people. It takes time,. It doesn't neccessarily meant that when you are happy other people around you will be happy too. No. It doesn't works that way.
Things takes time to change. People need time to adapt. Emotions takes time to built. Don't have to rush things. When you start to rush then you are having expectations in life. This way, you will never recieve happiness because, ecpectations only lead to failure. Don't expect to be happy but choose to be happy.

Life's fair when you think of it...
Life is always fair. Have you noticed that? but some people comes by and tells you that life is not fair, it is complicated, it is misarable and so on. But, it is all up to you to choose how life is. it is your life and no one can live it for you. it is your words that comes out from your mouth and you are the one who says it. so if you were to say that life is not fair then it is up to you. because you choose to say so.
but i warn you to be careful for what you say or wish for. because the universe is always hearing what you say. and that is why in the four agreements one of it is be impeccable of your words. and that is why there is law of attraction. if you say that life is fair, then you attract it because the universe gives you fair things. and being impeccable of your words is true.
if you think that life is always fair to you, the universe will send to you all those fair things and good things. because you told the universe that you want fair things in life. and this is something that i am practising everyday of my life.
if i say that life is good to me and everyone is good to me to then the universe will know that i want good things in life. then i will be attracting and having good things in life wherever i go. the forever kind universe is always listening to each and every single words we say. so be really impeccable of what we think or say. this way we can have what we want. by saying that life is fair to me and everyone of us.

Letting go
I remember last year I wore my black jacket all day long in school. Regardless on hot day or cold day. I wore it even when my teacher told me not to. Everyone thought I was going crazy wearing such a thick heavy jacket all day long when the sun was so bright up in the sky. It went on for days and days until the teacher doesn't bother to care if I was the only one wearing it.
I thought it was crazy too but I had my reasons. I was cold even on a hot day. The wind that blew into our classroom could make goose bumps on my skin. When people see me, they thought that I was a sick person. And that was how I got out of trouble when I was asked why I was wearing a black jacket. They thought that I was sick.
Well, I guess I was wearing it all year because I wasn't ready to let go. I wanted to keep every single memory I could inside of me. That was something I never realize. I kept telling myself that I need the jacket around my body. I don't feel safe. I need it with me. I need to protect myself. I gave myself lots of excuses and reasons just so I could keep the jacket over my shoulder.
But, now I look back. I see that there was a lot of things that I wasn't ready to let go when I put on that jacket. I was afraid of the changes around me. I wanted to keep things the way they were. Yet, through out the whole year, changes happened. The universe was telling me that somethings have to be changed. While some, remained the same.
I have new friends who came to my life and went away. I been through relationships which broke in the end. I have grades that went up and down just like life. People around me became more different. I lost friends and found some more. My environments changed. I had a dog and lost it. Friends going to other places. People relocated themselves. Different people approached me.
All these things around me. They changed. I was the one remained the same not wanting to let go of things around me. Like a horder I kept everything and afraid to lose it. Until the end of the year, I realize that the universe was telling me it is time to change somethings about me.
For some people it takes a long time to let go of things around us. Most of us are afraid of letting go of the past. That's why we are always living in the past and not willing to move forward. We forgot that time fly around us. If we don't change, the year may change. People we see everyday will change to.
We have to take action to let go of the things that should be gone. We can always keep what is best for us. But what's best for us is to let go of the pain, fear, and lots of sad moments. What's to be gone, let it be gone. What's to be kept forever it shall be kept. Don't be caught by the past. It is time for us to move on to the next level.
I always remind myself by telling myself that we are the leaders of our lifes. If we don't move on, no one else will move for us. For the legs and feet we have belong to us and so does the path. If it wan't the path that we choose then do not regret. Turn around before you fall into the trap of past. If it is too late to turn, don't regret too. Let go of the burden and you can soar like an eagle. Choose another path that you can take. Regrets are tons of bricks that holds you down.
If you want to fly as high as you want. Then it is time for you to let go of the mountain you are carrying behind you. Or the bricks of burden that you are pulling behind you. Letting go of the things and you will feel as light as a feather. Like a danlieon you can fly high up in the sky and never let anyone catch you.

Appreciate
This morning I went to the market with my mother and brother. Some guy who seems familiar keeps passing by us. My brother had a thought that he was a stalker. I thought that he might just be any other person who wants to talk to us but was too shy to. The first few times of meeting him, i thought it might just be a coincidence. But after a lot of times meeting him, I don't find it as a coincidence but as a want to be.
He keeps showing up all the time. And everytime he shows up, he looked at my brother like he was wishing that my brother could recognize him. But sadly, my brother doesn't. It seemed to me that this person wanted to talk to us. It was like he had seen us before. I kept fishing my mind for where did we met before, but there wasn't any memories of him in my mind.
I would have to agree with my brother that he was acting kinda weird and like a stalker but he looked just as innocent as he can be. Just another guy who we saw for a lot of time at a market. Some people might say that you might want to give it a re-think. But I would say that things happen like a meant to be.
Whenever we met someone just appreciate that we met them. Appreciate their appearance in our life so that we know that this person had existed before in our lifes. Appreciate is also a way to get out of anger. In fact, on my opinion, it is the fastest way. When we appreciate things, we start to love it. Unconditionally. And that is how love should be in life.
Appreciate your health for you can still live to see this post. Appreciate your eyes so that you are able to see these wonderful things around you and others may not see what you can see. Appreciate your lungs and heart for letting in oxygen and pumping it all over your blood system so that you can still be alive.
I appreciate my computer for working so that I can share this with you. I appreciate my fingers for typing out what I want to share with you here today. I appreciate my mother for giving me this life to learn and grow with you all. I also appreciate her for giving me this computer so I can create this blog and share with you what I have been aware of.
See, there is so many things we can appreciate about. You can even appreciate your stomach for working and letting you being able to eat all those delicious food around the world. Or appreciate your legs for letting you walking around the world and travel while some people don't have the chance to.
Not only that there are more than billions of things that you can appreciate. And when you start to appreciate things, the universe will know that you appreciate it and it will keep sending you more of it. But, remember this. Never demand. Never demand things and expect the universe to give you things at the moment you appreciate it. You have to appreciate things fully with your heart. Only then you can get what you appreciate.
I can't promise that you will always have what you appreciate. So, please don't get me wrong and get mad when you don't get what you want. It all takes time for things to happen. Be aware of what you are doing now and you will plant the seed of tomorow or even the next minute.

Be, Do then Have not have do then be
In order to have what you want to have you have to be it. You see, people are taught from a very young age by the society that to have what you have in order to do what you want to do then you can be what you want to be. But it is the complete reverse. You have to be unconditional love to have unconditional love in the form of giving then you receive.
If you want to have changes in your life then you have to be the change in your life. You have to be the one who step out and be the change. We are all leaders of our own life. So if we don't start a change no one around you will change. Everything starts from ourselves. We are the ones who influences others and they influence others.
So when you be aware, you will have clarity. Awareness comes in different forms of ways and anytime. It all depends on us to catch what we are thinking. Our mind is constantly rich with thoughts but we never narrow it down. When we do so, then we are starting to have awareness and clarity. It requires us to be very present and align our mind, body and spirit to be aware and have clarity. When we stay present means that we stop thinking about the things around us.
We have to stay very present and align in order to have very good clarity. Then we can know what it is that we want to do and the intention of it. If we know what we want to do then we will get things down quickly and without any mistakes. That is doing things with our heart. When we are doing things we don't expect a result. because expectations leads to something that you don't want.
when we know the intention of the things that we want to do. then we can do things more better with commitment. when you have commitment, and clarity then you can see your vision very clearly. when you think you don't see the vision or your vision is not clear then it must be that you have lost your clarity. and you have to start all over again.
when you have done all these things then it is time for you to accept what you get in return. because we have to know that we cannot change the world but we can only change ourselves. if we choose to change then others can feel the change within us. then they will change with us. if they don't change then it is up to them already. it is their choice to change or to stay the same. we cannot force others to be like us. everyone is unique. and we have to accept that. it is the fact.

Bake-a-thon & more..
Hey, my fellow readers. Sorry for not updating the blog for quite a while. Well, I am going to update with you with what I had been doing for the past few days. Let's see... homework, homework homework, and wait something else, nah, still homework. Ha ha. Oh, to make you all think that my life isn't that boring.. There is something new I can share with you. My mother and I had a bake-a-thon in the kitchen. I guess there isn't such thing as a bake-a-thon. But, I just invented it on Saturday night! Thanks to me now there is such thing as a bake-a-thon. WOOTS!!
Ok, now straight to the main point. During the bake-a-thon, my mother and I sort of bake/made 4 things in one go! 2 cakes, 1 Asian cake which we call "kuih" here in Asia, and 1 jelly! He he. Just to let you know, my definition of jelly is more like pudding kind of jelly. And jelly are my favourite so my mother kindly taught me how to make it as a reward for helping her..
Practically everything came out successfully except for the kuih. I guess the lesson was don't do 4 things or more in one go.. Ha ha, cause I am a multi-tasking person myself too. I always thought that multi-tasking makes things better.
Other than the bake-a-thon, I also am writing my own book! I don't wanna get your hopes up but it is more towards teen readers, romance. It isn't done yet because I am currently working on Chapter six and it is on page 47 now. Yea, I wouldn't call it much too. But it is going to finish soon enough, I guess.
So far, my mother's cakes has been successful enough to open a bakery shop. Ha ha I'm sure she can make good business out of it. She made chiffon cake, muffin, brownies, cupcakes, pies, Asian cakes. Lots more are coming their way. All mothers can always be very creative in some ways. Just like my mother and I. We follow the recipes and we add our own ingredients... I wish you all here to enjoy these lovely things that comes right out of the oven, but I guess I can only spread it out to the world with my words.
Well, I guess that's all for this time. I promise to update you with everything interesting that come up right in my mind. Unconditional love from your blogger, this is TheGirlInBlackCardigan signing off.
