change is the only constant?

it's true that change is inevitable and sometimes it'll catch us off-guard, whether we like it or not, but to say that change is the only constant in life seems pretty much arguable to me, although people around me and myself included have been experiencing a fair amount of changes lately. some may call it the quarter-life crisis, or whatever terms to justify their situations, one thing for sure, change is something everyone is apprehensive of, even when it's for the better. Because it forces us to leave our comfort zones and step into not only a world of uncertainties and doubts but also a world of opportunities and excitements, depending on which coloured lense you decide to put on for the day. as a creature of habit, my pessimistic nature never seemed to lose its dominance over its twin.

change comes in many forms and sizes, however, regardless of its size, it always manages to create an impact in our lives. Some people who've experienced it are never the same, and i really wonder whether it's occurance is necessary if not needed. whether it's something we can live without?

but then again, if not for change, humans will never learn to adapt and hence survive. so it is something that we cannot live WITHOUT. sigh..

and so i had a little conversation with the almost non-existent optimistic side of me about change. and i had to agree with her that change is NOT the only constant in life. admist its chaotic nature, there are other forces that are seemingly more orderly and constant, like how the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. how the positive end of a magnet is always attracted to the negative and how the rain always falls from the sky to the ground and how bees are always attracted to honey. for that, we then have something to hold on to when we're experiencing the biggest change in our lives, that would shake us to the core and transform us. its not easy to go through, but just bear in mind that the constants are too, around us.

Jika dunia
Aku yang punya
Akan ku dirikan
Sebuah syurga
Malam tanpa siang
Untuk ku bermimpi
Sepanjang masa
Tanpa kecewa
Bertemankan bintang yang setia

Bagaikan puteri
Kisah khayalan
Yang hidupnya suci dan sempurna
oh...Tapi sayang
Hanyalah impian
Bulan tak bisa tumbuh ditaman
Dan bila mentari datang
Pulanglah segala kenyataan

Jika dunia
Aku yang punya
Akan kuhiaskan
Sepasang sayap Putih dan berseri
Untukku kemudi
Sepanjang masa
Tanpa kecewa
Bertemankan bintang yang setia

i only wish i could translate this song to english without changing too much of its meaning, but i think no matter what, it'll still be different. so i just didnt bother haha.

and this is totally unrelated but it's been happy 9 months:

why msn is not for family members

mel-perfect sunday with that perfect someone

i had to change my msn nick 5 minutes later because my aunt decided to send me a msg,
'hmmm out with tat special someone ya!'

i felt like i'm beginning to lose the freedom of expressing myself in msn nicks as the number of family members on my list increases from 3 to 20. four days ago, my aunt asked me whether i still have faith in God and three days ago, my godfather added me unto his list. what's next?
*gulp*

as much as we're really close as a family, i've never really discussed my personal life be it friends or relationships with any of my family members. Maybe they just want to feel young again and for that i cant blame them. but i also cant deny the discomfort knowing the possibilities of them knowing a little too much than they should. cos family members worry a lot. that's what they do. they worry.

what happened to ignorance is bliss??

Meet me in outer space
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place, won't you come with me?
We could start again

come on la mel says:

May says:

****

yea, don't scare myself. but i'm feeling really restless. i know i shdn't have done it. out of impulse, which is not always a good thing. not my kinda thing. and i worry about the point where everything snaps, whether i've reached or worse, accelerated it.

****
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew
****
4 panels done, 2 more to go but i cant concentrate. my head's being a bitch, aching the whole night away while i wait, hopeful for my phone to beep the 'uh-oh'

****
Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close, if you're afraid of heights
I need you to see this place, it might be the only way
that I can show you how
It feels to be inside you
****

cold

****
You are stellar
How do you do it?
make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
its better than I ever knew
****
at least he replied. i wondered whether i was overreacting to the whole situation, i mean, women are territorial creatures anyway. so its natural for one to get defensive if she fears her territory is invaded, although there will be times that its not really the case. it shows that she cares. A LOT.

and my head's still aching. i wonder whether its an situational-allergy reaction.
