"When you say yes to one thing, you have to say no to other things"... This line was told to me by a friend... She first came across this line while she was reading a book on how to decide your life later on... A book that teaches you to choose a correct path that leads you to a bright future.. A book that tells you that a person will need to make at least 6 big decisions in life.. A self-motivation book i can say..
What draws my attention is this particular line.. To a certain extend, yes it's true that when one says yes to a thing, then he/she have to say no to other things.. In life, we could not possibly hold too many things at a time... To succeed, we have to sacrifice some...
We might have been sacrificing all this while, but we just don't realize it as whenever we let go of something, another thing comes by.. And the feeling of lost and disappointment is soon replaced by excitement and happiness.. As what we've always know, "If you lost something, you will gain something"...
When i heard this line from my friend, i realized that i have to let go of something in order to continue pursuing my pharmacy later on... What I've been doing all long is to enter into this course, and i can't possibly let anything happen to crash this dream of mine..
And yes, I'm letting go.. Although not all, but at least I'm trying.. This letting go might hurts, but if sacrificing this can get me my degree, there's no doubt I'm doing this..
Saying yes to pharmacy, it just means i have to say no to the others... This is my only choice... And my only chance... I hope I'm blessed...

He is a guy who has everything - the looks and brains,
She is a ordinary girl who's always very cheerful,
He is the silent type who listens more than talks,
She is the noisy type that can talks 24/7 non-stop,
He being the realistic one, makes decisions by following his brain,
She being the emotional one, makes decisions by following her heart,
He is a guy who is determined to achieve what he wants in the future,
She is a girl who holds on to her dreams,
They were close to each other, but they never took any attempt to know each other,
He never thought of making this girl as his girlfriend as he already has one in his heart,
She never thought of wanting him as her boyfriend as she's in love with another,
They had never share the same interests and yet faith makes them meet...
As the old saying goes, "Opposite always attracts"...
They crossed their paths, and together they fell in love, starting a simple love story of their own...
He being the organizer, planned all the outings and datings for the weekends,
She being the follower, follows wherever he goes,
He being the caring one, brings her to the doctor when she's sick,
She being the patient one, waited for him when he's out till too late,
He being the romantic one, gives her surprise on her birthday and on V-day,
She being the loyal one supported him in whatever he does,
He pampers her a lot,
She knows when not to make him angry,
They were seen as a lovely couple that can lasts long... However, things weren't as nice as fairytale.. A series of things occurred, they realized they will not share the same paths in the future... They were not meant to be... They made the hardest decision ever... Breaking-up is the last resort... Tears were shed.. There were no words exchanged between them..
Although they were so used to each other side by side...
He decided to lead his life without her, and
She will continue her life without looking back,
And since then, one story becomes two...

Although this is not a "happily ever after" type of love story,
But if asked whether they will make the same decision by being a couple,
I believe they both will say yes.. Because what they cherish is the process..
The sweet memories will always retain in their hearts.. And these memories will be recalled when they meet up once again... And when that time comes, they will smile contently at each other as they share the same memories...

I thought of this question when i heard a lot of break-up cases lately.. Well, what I've found out is that girls definitely agree to this.. which is how long you're in love definitely means how much you're in love.. (for majority) For girls, whenever they fall in love, they will be only loving their partner more as time goes by... Perhaps this is because girls are afraid of aging, and doesn't wish to break up in a later stage of life... When break up does happens, a girl takes a longer time to recover from the pain that she had experienced... If she's in love for a month, she might take half a year to forget.. If she's in love for a year, she might use 2 years to forget..
But, for guys I've known, like a friend of mine, he only took a year to forget his relationship with his 1st love for 4 and a half years.. That's pretty fast huh? (at least for me)...
And I always wonder why do the break-up cases I've heard are so pitiful... Like couples for 8 years that are preparing for marriage broke up because the guy got a new gf... Don't they realize relationships don't come easy? 8 years of love can't compete with a new love of only a month?
Another case is that, the guy wanted a break-up with his gf for 5 years just because he said he found his true love... and how I've wondered.. what is the gf of 5 years? not true love? if not, then what is she?
Perhaps this equation is not suitable for guys at all.. (majority) For them, how long you're in love definitely is not how much you're in love... The time consumed in a relationship doesn't really matter after all...

Have you ever tried to wait alone? i guess everyone tried this before.. it's just a matter of how long you've waited.. and who you've waited... The feeling of waiting would be very suffering especially the person you've been waiting is the one u love... Today when i was waiting patiently for my friends, a supportive friend of mine was sms-ing with me.. keeping me company... and very quickly, one hour had gone without any warning... I'm really very grateful to this friend of mine... of course, this friend of mine suddenly becomes an important part of my circle of friends.. This friend of mine is the one i think i dare to rely on in future... And this friend of mine, is the one that I'm on very good terms now...
At that moment, i suddenly recalled of the past... There was once when i did something terrible to a person.. He came all the way to look for me, and what i did was letting him waited for me alone... while i walked away with my friends.. Not did i only embarrassed him in front of my friends, i did it so harsh that i could let him wait... At last, he had his dinner alone.. but at that time, while he was alone, he had a friend to accompany him by sms-ing with him all the time... And of course this friend created a good impression to him... And since then, they were on very good terms too... I wonder what hard feelings he had then..
And today, i finally understand why... Why had that person became important to him.. It's just the same way when this friend of mine became important to me.. When there's one day that i realized my mistake, i apologized to him.. But he told me that, "it's okay by now.. because it doesn't matter anymore"... and yes it's true..I've hurt him and didn't realize by then.. So, when its time to say sorry , it really doesn't matter anymore... because he couldn't care much for me anymore..
Now, i always prefer to wait for others than others to wait for me, because this feeling of guilt and regret has stayed with me ever since that particular day... I never wanted anyone to wait for me alone... I never wanted to make anyone disappointed and sad...
