"What brings understanding is love. When your heart is full, then you will listen to the teacher, to the beggar, to the laughter of children, to the rainbow, and to the sorrow of man." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
“Embracing diversity is one adventure after another, opening new paths of discovery that connect an understanding to caring, listening, and sharing with others who are different than ourselves.”
-April Holland
Some people hate their own life and some people would dream of having their life. Where is it that we fail to recognize the beauty of life if not within ourselves?
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

Having a rough day? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That’s called purpose. You’re alive for a reason. Don’t give up.
Don't take anything personally. Even when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. Their point of view and opinion come from all the programming they received growing up. When you take things personally, you feel offended and your reaction is to defend your beliefs and create conflict. You make something big out of something so little because you have the need to be right and make everybody else wrong. - Don Miguel Ruiz
My gift.
The greatest gift you can give to somebody is your own personal development.
I used to say, 'If you will take care of me, I will take care of you.'
Now I say, "I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.'
I used to say, 'If you will take care of me, I will take care of you.'
Now I say, "I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.'

Who do u think u don't have a chance with ??
Just say you like someone. You don’t know when you did or why you did, but at some point you became aware of this feeling and start to build affection towards the person you like. You think of possibilities on how to get closer to the person, you talk, you joke, you laugh, you get to know one another more and eventually you have this bond between each other.
You think maybe you should ask him/her out someday and confess because if you really tried then maybe you both could become a “couple”. Then suddenly one day you hear, or see something that relates to that certain someone and you think to yourself. “She/he might already have someone else in his/her mind”, “Oh, who is this person”, “Maybe I shouldn’t try at all, I will just embarrass myself”. You start to think to the point essentially where the smallest things hold you back from doing things you truly wanted to do.
Your mind then becomes clouded with insecurities and thinking of negative thoughts.
That’s exactly how I feel.
But who knows, I might have a chance. I got to keep believing in myself and to always try my best, even if it involves me embarrassing myself in front of thousands of people or bring my self-esteem down because I would rather try to be with the person then not ever trying to be with him/her when I could of had a chance.
I will do all it takes, even if there one chance out of a million to be with the person I find to be precious to me.

My Reality.
Henry Vu
When an opportunity comes up, it feels like I have a chance with you then when I hear something else. I just lose all hope with ever trying to be with you. I guess me being such a diminish person won’t ever have any chance with anyone and at the same time it isn’t too bad; though it does have its benefits in its own unique way. With the way I am going at the moment, being alone is so far the best way I can vision myself in the near or far future, alienation from any kinds of groups or so called ‘friends’. I overthink and over-thinking kills my happiness, I just can’t help it sometimes and question myself, as well as asking others out of curiosity “Do I look that type of person who is optimistically, cheerful and confident?” Some say yes and some may say no, it really is a question that I ask out of the blue and for some reason no matter what the answer is, I tend to ignore it, since either way I am a ‘non-existence’ person, who only, but mimics the ones who exist in this world. Even trying to be different in as many ways as I possibly can, it always feels just like I’m walking around in circles just to end up from where I started, ‘nothing’…
“Not anything; no single thing, something of no importance or concern.” Exactly, even so, I have no intentions of losing myself in my own world but I do have the feeling that one day, I will lose everyone, everything around me and drown. Feeling lonely everyday isn't something so pleasant to feel when deep down inside you have absolutely no one.
I have said it in the past many times and still today in the present I remind myself all the time, “change”. I want to change, change to become more of the person then I am and change to understand more, more, more and more of this large yet small world. Me, myself just like any other human being, I feel really privileged to be living, to be breathing in this world that is full of “promise”. That promise, is promising if you work hard, try your best, wait patiently and see life till the “final destination”. But it doesn’t end from there just like one of the quotes that I find to be amazing and inspiring “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. - Henry Ford” life is full of questions, so never stop learning, even if you don’t understand. Because every single day is precious and with the thought of living never blame any day in your life because what I have learned and experienced is that you will have Good days that will give you happiness, Bad days that give you experience and the Worst days in which will inevitability give you a lesson.
Live your life to the fullest without regrets.

Deep.
"Curiosity killed my innocence. Over-thinking killed my happiness. Insecurities killed my self-esteem. Lies killed my trust. Stereotypes killed my individuality. Judgements killed me."
“You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or say it.” - Malcom X
“Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” - Bell hooks
Quotes I found that really caught my eye.
Since blogging isn't really my thing, I don't really have much time to spend writing about my "everyday" or daily life. Since now I'm packed with an abundant of work nearly every single day with something to do.

Awesome day.
Dear Diary.
I have realized the more you think about a person the more attractive that person gets. Am I right? Well that's what it seems like to me. I had a dream and she was in it, but that really doesn't mean anything does it? Just every time I think about her, she gives me happy thoughts and makes me smile :) hahahahaha.
Anyways had double spare in the morning, brush my teeth, make my two packet of noodles, DELICIOUS ~~ MI-GORENG. Yeah it was quite nice... Cause I made it. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Then after that since I haven't danced for quite some time, I got my speaker, camera, tri-pod and decided to dance in the back-yard. While playing songs that I liked, I just left the camera on recording. Just to see if I did any COOL moves or not :)
I got some nice footage, so I was very satisfied.
Was able to catch up and talk with some of my friends, Joanne, Stacy, Ellen & Kerryn, nice people :)
I don't really mind what people think of me as much, but I just wanted to hang-out with them and enlighten myself. And surprisingly I laughed quite a lot because of Joanne and Ellen, Hahahahaha. It was a good lunch :)
And my day ended with a spare at period 6, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Because my Information Technology teacher was absent so we got to go home. Kekekekekeke.
Finished editing my "dance" video, GET EXCITED !! :D "MIMS - I'm busy"
It's been so LONGGGG since I have uploaded any dance video, well so far I have finished this choreography and done quite a few freestyle sessions to keep my self both active and knowledgeable.
This will be the first "fast" choreography that I have done. So to put it out there I started this choreography because I got inspired by "Bam Martin" and at the same time I wanted to make a choreography that was at a fast pace which suited my dance style. With my schedule I'm not able to dance much but I do try not to get too rusty. This piece are all my moves alone, I tried very hard to make it my own so I hope you will watch and enjoy it. :D

Take chances.
You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You're here to be you, not to be what someone else wants you to be. Never be afraid to be loud, be afraid to have no voice. Never be afraid of the thoughts of others, be afraid of not being true to who you are. Your own style makes you who you are, don't adopt someone's cause you're not them. Be who you are and let everyone love that person you truly are.
Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be ok with it.
Cause you will regret it.

Trust issues, that's the sh*t that drives me crazy.
Everyone has their own trust issues, and almost everyone are afraid to confront those issues.

I have been reading "Looking for Alaska" by John Green and is one of my favourite books.
It's an amazing book, totally recommend everyone to read this book, while reading, just wanted to post this that caught my attention. Possibly my favourite scene/quote in the book.
“Not to have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of phrase. But I lacked the courage and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.” - Looking for Alaska
Sounds so much similar to myself, but yeah. Cheers.

The Idealist.
Your world is an illusion. From the day you were born, you have been conditioned. Your schools taught you to be quiet, neutral and numb. Your media desensitized you to the suffering of your fellow human beings and the system slowly isolated you until it somehow felt normal to feel alone on a planet with 8 billion other people on it. You worked hard for the future with your reward always just around the next corner or just up the next step. Everything was tomorrow but tomorrow never came. And you realized too late that you had never lived at all. Something was missing and no matter how much you worked, partied or paid you could not disguise it. You accepted it as natural for one to be wealthy whilst another is poor, or the absurd notion that we must pay back the debt of our own existence. We traded community culture for corporate comfort and our most precious resource, our time, as a commodity. We need to move beyond revolution and into the next stage of human evolution. A time marked by unparalleled compassion and peaceful co-existence. The shape of which we can not foresee as it must be created together. We will take no power back as we shall empower ourselves and we shall say: We are the humans. We are awake now. We reclaim our destiny.” - The Idealist

Introduction
Brief introduction
I don't really have any idea or what I'm going to post on this blog. I just want to post up the feelings I feel inside of me and a slice of my daily life.
I want to discover my true self, cause really I'm not posting to tell you who I am. I'm posting because I do not know yet. Basically I do have a sorta, rough idea of what I will be posting on this blog. It will mostly be contents of my personal life, progression of my life, my ambitions and some exclusive contents.
What I do want out of this, blog, is that I know more about myself:
The way people act changes, as society is looked in different ways, I'm not one to talk. But really being different is harder than you may think. As I live, I see all kinds of people on the internet, places I visit or places from afar doing ridiculous things to either gain fame or want some attention to become famous (attention seekers) and these are usually children. Most people tend to be just like everyone else after giving up on a certain particular goal, that eventually it just becomes their daily lives, blending with everybody else.
There are a few things that I find odd about myself:
I normally put myself in everyone's perspective, a child, boy, girl, man, women and what someone would usually feel if I was in his/her certain position. I don't know why I do this, I just conclude that it has become my habit, something that I do. Sometimes I feel as though my conscious is giving myself a sense of realization of my surroundings, making me think twice before doing anything. That is when my wise side starts ticking the unused clogs in my mindless head. The more I am aware of my surroundings the more I am considerate of what I do.
My dream, my ideals, my principles, my determination, my ambitions.
Currently I do not have a "ultimate" dream that I want to achieve, all I do know are my ambitions.
What I have planned or thought about for the future is becoming an "Landscape Architecture" as well as becoming a professional dance choreographer. Through dancing I want to inspire people, not having a particular goal, I live in everyday society and see reality in many perspectives. By being able to dance I am able to show how I feel about my everyday life growing, meeting new people and the way I experience new/different emotions in life (love). Also seeing so much people around me, pushing me, inspiring me and drive my determination to reach my ambitions. Even without a goal, I dance cause I want to dance. Knowing one day I will hopefully inspire others and leave a legacy behind. Making something that's "non-existence" (myself) exist in life. In-truth I don't mind if I don't make an impact or become "big". As long as I am able to continue to expand my knowledge and learn from other dancers who are willing to teach me. Then I'm happy. Because no matter what, wherever I am in this world even if I have lost all hope. Dancing truly does make me feel happy & when I dance, I dance to my hearts content. Showing people how I "really" feel and hopefully giving them what I want to give back.
And for "Landscape Architecture" with the very few little support I have, I am still hoping, striving and trying my best to at least reach this goal and take the course in the future. Technical drawing, designing houses, parks, urban landscape. A few personal reasons why I want to take this course, mainly cause it's a career path that I really want to do. In numerous ways I do consider myself a perfectionist, as a person I like to be precise with many things I do, clothes (looking neat), dancing, technicality , drawings and many others
I monitor my thoughts, words and feelings because I know they are creating my life.

- What kind of person I become/change into
- Get a more insight of myself
- How I adapt to this world/society
- How intelligent I become day by day
- Discover truly how big or small this world is
- How far my career/life will go
- Me, I, Myself

There are a few things that I find odd about myself:

- I have a wise side
- A side I think differently of society and the environment I live in.

Despite popular belief, humans on occasion and in the case that it is requested, don't mind to hear the "truth" about their flaws. But no one should stand for unsolicited advise/opinions. So be wary of the person who at the drop of the hat says "I'm honest", because they are not. In their twisted little world they think honesty is synonymous with indiscretion.
It's not often that I find time to sit and contemplate life. To look around me and analyze myself.
It pains me, the person I have become, is the change really a change for good? Do I enjoy making myself feel more unnecessary pain? Do I have to continue to change again, into another person?
Yes, I can't help to think of ways to continue too evolve, to learn more about this world, to become more intelligent. But hey.. I have to get through all of it, to shoulder and endure all I can until the day I have found the one and to see myself at the end.
One Phase:
To truly look around, analyze how far you’ve come and realize that you’re slowly aging. And this all started from listening to old school songs and having a rush of nostalgia hit me.
Then comes that massive slumping feeling knowing one day your own time will be up. The day you share your last breath on this precious earth of ours. It’s inevitable.
But making the most out of the short time you’ve been given, isn’t.
