"That's the big mistake a lot of people make when they wonder how soldiers can put their lives on the line day after day or how they can fight for something they may not believe in. Not everyone does. I've worked with soldiers on all sides of the political spectrum; I've met some who hated the army and others who wanted to make it a career. I've met geniuses and idiots, but when all is said and done,we do what we do for one another. For friendship. Not for country, not for patriotism, not because we're programmed killing machines, but because of the guy next to you. You fight for your friend, to keep him alive, and he fights for you, and everything about the army is built on this simple premise. "
— Nicholas Sparks (Dear John)
" Everyday we fight a battle. Every morning when we wake up, we prepare ourselves for that day's war. We don't know what the outcome will be. But, we armed ourselves well enough and we wear our hearts on our shoulders - we go out to the battle field and give our best. The best war at the end of the day is knowing that you've given your all and expect nothing in return because the best gift is making those who matters felt important and happy. It is a tough war everyday. So, when you wake up in the morning preparing yourself for the war, just go out there and do your best. So when you are lying on your bed at night, you can shut your eyes and tell yourself that you've given all you can for that day and you will do better tomorrow. Tell your heart not to expect anything in return because that's the way you can prepare yourself for the next day war. And, do remember to do better tomorrow. next day. and for the many more days to come. I think it is for as long as you are alive because everyday is about fighting for our loved ones as it keeps us alive."

Shooting stars
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Random
This is a really nice song
Take me
This is all that I've got
This is all that I'm not
All that I'll ever be
I've got flaws, I've got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn't matter who you are
We all have our scars
We all have our scars

Honey Lemon
1. I'm craving for waffles with chocolate sauce as toppings; strawberries, blueberries and rasberries as sidelines; topped with toasted walnut flakes; and some sticky golden maple syrup for dipping.
2. Random conversation with people brings about a new perspective on life in general. Sometimes hearing what others have to say gives us a breath of fresh air.
3. 24 hours a day is not sufficient. We should have at least 8 hours of sleep. We need to work for 12 hours. So that leave us with 4 hours. Is that enough? What about getting stucked in traffic, eating breakfast, lunch and dinner ... after these, do we actually have enough time in a day?
4. Life is not easy. It's not simple. It is complicated. It is full of challenges and obstacles. It is filled with trials and tribulations.
5. Dream. In all honesty, it's good to have dreams. Knowing that you can actually dream, makes you reach for the moon even if you land among the stars. Dreaming keeps me sane.
6. Perfection is not everything I think. What do you think? As much as we strived for perfection in every thing that we do, sometimes imperfection gives more life than perfection. Imperfection makes things appear to be more real. Don't you think so? Like if everything is so perfect, what is there more to do about it then?
7. Random messages make me happy. I feel elated evertime I get something out of the blue.
8. I like being unconventional. I hate following rules.
9. Tumblr - I am amazed by it. One pic can have a million interpretation. I like how I can just clicked away and looked at the posted pictures and go, "Hmmmm ... I'm feeling like that too."
10. I need to sleep. There's so many things to do yet so little time. I'm tired. I think I'm getting older. I get tired to easily.
