daughter

I have heard of couples divorcing as a result of their so many differences that could not be bridged. I have heard of children clinging to their father or mother, pleading for a reunion again. But for the first time in my entire life, I have just heard and seen a daughter wanting a divorce for their parents. A daughter who fuels the burning flame every time their parents argue. A daughter who is better at taking sides than at being a mediator. A daughter who has the most despicable guts to insult the very woman who gave birth to her. A daughter who forms an alliance with her mother's enemy. A daughther who is so loathesome in every possible way!

People say that she is possessed! And I have to admit there are times I wish it was true! At least that would alter my perception about her wrongdoing. At least that would be an excuse! But I know it too well that she is not. Pangs of nostalgia strike me when I flip through photo albums, the precious collections of our youthful, carefree upbringing. I never fail to look at those eyes that stare straight into mine, that pair that reflects no anger, resentment or hatred. How I wish everything would just be the same!

I hate to say "bong" to her now! I hate how she always fakes a smile in return. And I hate how she always turns away immediately after that without a word. When I stare at her, I feel as if I was looking at a total stranger. And there are just so many questions I want to ask her. Why have you become this way? What is wrong exactly? Why all this resentment and hatred towards your very own mother? What has she done so wrong that you cannot spare a word of forgiveness? How could you trust someone else than your own mother? Why?...

Gosh! I've never met such a daughter too. But then there might be something that u could understand only if u were her. I believe that no one hates the ones who love us.

To PM: been trying to understand! But the more I try to, the more it is apparent that she is so caught up in false assumptions. Despite how much ppl try to prove her wrong, she always takes an uncompromising stance!!

To Hour: partly, yeah! But all the argument and everything starts from her, and she makes sure everything does not stop there...And it's not my bro's case...

Guy! Sometimes, the more u think, the more it's getting worse. Perhaps what you can see is the just the cover, but u have no idea how the content of the book is like. Ppl may blame people who commit suicide, but only if we were in the same condition, then we would know how hard it would feel. Same goes to this story! I'm not on any side, but dun judge a book by its cover. I believe that things happen for a reason. So until you can find the true reason then.. :) hope everything is still great!

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa...

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

mentality!!!

Well, I am more or less like an adult now in the sense that i earn my own money and stuff. Though i quite enjoy working at ITC quite a lot, there is something inside me that keeps popping up every now and then, and makes all the excitement and all the energy go away. "Why in God's name i never grow up?" You may ask! Well yeah i definitely know that separation is part of learning and growth, but i just seem incapable of grappling with it very well. It tears me apart when i sense my friends and i are drifting apart with each passing day. Again you may go like, "So lame!" I know it sounds so, but I just cannot help brooding a lot about this! I remember being literally lectured by my dad a few weeks ago about what adulthood is all about, and it struck me with a jaw-cracking blow that there are so many expectations of me. By "expectations", it has nothing to do with monetary issues. As a matter of fact, there is more to do with heavier responsibilities as a...
