Are You Running From Love? - Part 3

Recognising the Distancing Behaviour

The first thing that should be done is deepening awareness. Most people know on some levels that things are not working in the love department, but they don't know why. They don't really know how to make sense of it. So it's mostly about looking at "Why do i feel the way i feel, why do i think the way i think?" It's going from "I'm just a guy who won't commit" to going below the surface. Another thing is awareness of the mind-body connection, how much our biology shapes can affect people in relationship. People's bodies holds stories that not even their own minds are aware of and that shows upand gets triggered as they start to get close, more involved and feel more vulnerable. When this happens, some of the old fear kicks in and sets in the kind of biological reaction.

The next post will be the fourth and the last regarding this topic. I hope you all readers out there have enjoyed reading so far. Just a tiny preview, the next topic will be titled "Stop Distancing to Stop Running from Love". Comments are welcomed.

Are You Running From Love? - Part 2

The Common Distancing Patterns
As i have described in the post earlier, people tend to get close to their partner but that is only up to a point, where they will start to distance themselves. We call this "A Distancer". But before we learn how to spot or recognize distancing behaviors, we definitely need to know the common behavior patterns.

Sometimes it is very obvious, someone who won't talk about the way he or she feels or won't open up sexually (NOT MEANING OPEN IN HAVING SEX), but then, there are a lot of other ways to do it.

The busy and distracted lifestyle - Classical one where the man (now, sometimes the woman) is always at work, or the mother who devotes all her time and energy to the children and is always putting the relationship with her husband on hold because they are afraid of being really open and vulnerable and intimate with their partner.

One person may even seem like the "super partner" where he or she takes care of so much that he/she doesn't actually take the time to connect with their partner. When this happens, we'll have a couple that looks really good on the surface but actually something is missing.

Then, there's the extreme situation where the man or woman who wants to have a relationshop but they can't let themselves get near to having one. Normally for this extreme situation, the guy or gal would actually find something wrong with everybody they date or even find ways to avoid meeting people or avoid dating or exploring relationships.

Next is the middle category. These are the people who actually get into relationships and do great in courtship stage. They're into it, they're very excited and may even be very apparently open sexually and emotionally but when it starts to move into a more committed and vulnerable stage, they start to distance themselves. It looks like a simple fear of commitment but if you look closely under the covers, it comes back to ways people learn to distrust closeness and vulnerability in an intimate relationship.

Well, there you have it, the patterns that you should be looking out for. The next post tomorrow will be finally about how to recognize the distancing behaviors. Enjoy.

Are You Running From Love? - Part 1

Normally, if you ask advice from someone about love or the important things in a relationship, you'll always hear people say "You've got to be open and communicate honestly with your partner". But don't you know? Being honest and open is not the only thing that is important in a relationship? A lot of people - both men and women - have reasons on things that they don't do that easily. Usually, people have a kind of universal fear of being vulnerable or letting somebody in. This is not so different from the common norm. But there are some experts who think the difference is understanding and that there are different ways to approach in changing that.

My personal opinion? Honestly and openness is not the only thing needed in a relationship. If only honesty and openness is the only thing needed, then everyone could be couples and get into a relationship regardless of the situation and compatibility. But we all know, that is not the thing that happens in reality. For me, the main thing that is essential in a relationship is the feel and the compatibility of you and your partner. Without these, where would be the purpose of having a relationship. Of course, a relationship also needs a lot of understanding. As mentioned in the first paragraph.

Sounds so easy and simple? Have you ever wondered why married couples file for divorce? A pair of very loving couples break up after a long period of relationship? Most of the time, you can spot this as it comes or happens. But usually, when your partner does not feel good around you anymore, or when there are signs of a relationship gone bad, either you, yourself or your partner would definitely keep a distance at first. This is what we call as a distancer. Gradually, this distancer, will make the gap between you and your partner become bigger and bigger. In the end, we have what we call a "break up" or "divorce".

WHAT IS A DISTANCER?
Everyday, there are a lot of people getting into relationships. But the real question is, are they committed or not? There are certainly a lot of people who avoid committed relationships altogether. But i am certain that all of us have known people - and even some of us are the people - who will start to get close in a relationship and then pull away when they feel threatened or when they feel too vulnerable or afraid that they are going to be suffocated, or lose their autonomy. It is more subtle when people distance within a relationship.

They are married, but they are really not there - there is a way in which they are holding themselves back to the point that either they or their partner is unhappy. This is something that would be said or best to describe a marriage where a distancer exists.

I'll stop here for the night but tomorrow i will continue on this topic where i will share with you all about "The Common Distancing Behavior Patterns" Hope you all enjoy tonight's post and i am looking forward to share with you the next segment tomorrow night. Thank you for reading!

Friends. Expendable?

I came across this question in my mind today and i asked myself. Are my friends expendable? What about yours? Are they expendable to you?

First of all, let me take you for some lessons and enlightenment. What does expendable mean? Taken from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, expendable means easily replaced or economically replaced. So, the main question that i am emphasizing in this post is, can your friends be easily replaced?

I will be 22 this year and i believe i can say that i have gone through my fair share of experience that a 22 year old teen could go through. Some may have gone through incidents or situations that are far more worse that i have gone though. But, simply put, we've all gone through something and not everyone will go through the same thing.

It is true that each and everyone of us has gone through different life experiences but there is one thing that i am certain that will happen in everyone's life once they reach their teen years. Betrayal and backstabbing. What does betrayal and backstabbing has got to do with expendable friends? Easy, it all goes down to why does someone betray or backstab you. When someone close or he/she is just a normal friend betrays or backstabs you, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Most of the people i know would definitely act irrationally.

If it was me, i would just calm down and just think a bit more rationally before making any decisions. In the end, i always decide on one conclusion. That is, the person that i call friend just thinks that i am an "expendable friend" thus it led to his/her treachery of betrayal and backstabbing.

Why do i say this? If you think about it logically, if you cherish your friend it would never cross your mind to betray or backstab him/her. When i say cherish i mean like appreciate him/her as a close friend or even just as a normal friend, never thinking of taking advantage or him/her or even using him/her for any purpose that would benefit you or someone else.

I have been through these and needless to say, i have been through the betrayal and backstabbing part quite a number of times. From every single one of these cases, i have drawn out simple conclusion for myself and maybe for those out there who thinks the same way that i do. Trust is an important factor in friendship thus those who honor and take friendships seriously will do anything in their power to uphold the trust that exists in their friendships. Still, there is one single thing in this world that can destroy that trust in a split second no matter in which country you live in, it is all the same. Money.

Money, money, money. It makes the world go round. Without money, there would be almost no life on earth. Not to say breathing and still alive type of life, but life as in people working hard to earn money, people spending money for entertainment and etc. Of course, not everyone has the same status and wealth. In my opinion, the world today runs on a principle that is undeniable. The rich rule and control almost everything. Even the world economy. Imagine that, the destructive power of money. Money can build something out of nothing and it also can destroy that something in a split second. Money is the devil in disguise!! Don't you think so? People kill, rob, kidnap, and do a whole lot of crimes just to get a hold of money.

I don't know if you understand what i meant after reading the paragraphs above but the main thing that i wish to emphasize is that, no matter what, never let money get in between friendship ties. No matter what you do, do not value money over the friendship ties that you have with your friends. I have seen it happen to others and honestly it happened to me too. How i wish money never exists. That way, i could always keep my friends and never see betrayal or backstabbing happen.

A Moment In Time

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you had a moment of your past? Or a moment of your future? Recently i have been thinking. What is it like if you could relive your past or go to the future then come back to the present to change what you think will affect your life then.

People always think and wonder what is it like to have this ability. But honestly, i believe other than God Himself, there is no one else that can do a thing like that. Sometimes, you may have dreams which foretell what would happen but that phenomenon hardly ever happens to everyone. I have had a few dreams where i dream of a scenario that involves me in it and it happens in real life but the outcome of the situation is not the same. When that happens, i get flashbacks of what i dreamt but i never could recall the dream when i wanted to. It is as if, i have restricted access to the memory of my own dream.

You may wonder why am i blogging about this. Honestly, something that happened approximately 14 to 15 hours ago made me start thinking. As most of the people in Miri know, there was a young man who suicided by jumping off a 10 story building in town area yesterday. From what i heard, this young man, does not gamble, or have any serious problems of a sort. It made me wonder why he did it. It just doesn't make sense. Why leave your family behind when you are already going through your life just fine?

That is just the half of it. A few hours ago, i saw this TV series on TV of course. It was about this guy who goes to sleep and wakes up 20 years earlier etc. When he gets back to his present time, his wife tells him he has been gone for two days. A lot of things happened and in the end, the real reason that it happened to the guy was he was supposed to save someone from dying. I know i know it is just a TV show but i would think of it as a very odd coincidence?

Almost 14 hours earlier someone suicided in my own town and less than 14 hours later, there is a TV series that portrays a man who goes to sleep in the present and wakes up in the past just to save lives and bad things from happening. It made me wonder. What if, what if we were given a moment in time to fix all the things we've done wrong in the past or in the future? What if we are given a chance to see a moment of our future? What would you do?

To me, this phrase has a lot of hidden meanings. It could be interpreted in a many ways and it varies on how each person sees it. I don't know what people out there would do with a moment in their past or future. I only know that if i had a moment in my past, i would definitely use it to correct whatever i have done wrong and set things straight.

I Never had A Dream Come True by S Club 7

Ooh...

Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)
How it could be now or neither been (or neither been)
All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

Chorus
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Somewhere in my memory I lost all sense of time
Amd tomorrow can never be
'Cause yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or neither been (or neither been)
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

Chorus

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
(Yes you will, say you will, you know you will, baby)
You'll always be the one I know (I'll never forget)
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try
I just can't say goodbye
No no no no

Chorus

A part of me will always be with you...

That's Where You Find Love by Westlife

In your eyes, I found the greatest prize
You and I could not be closer
And in your arms, is everything I want
Now I know my search is over

and I don't know where you take me
But it's exactly where I wanna be

[Chorus:]
It's where the stars line up
It's where the ocean starts
It's in a place I've never been that feels like home
It's in the air right now
It's when you give your all, and give a little more
I've never been so sure, that's where you find love

People pass, and listen to us laugh
Wishing that they had the same thing
And our friends they ask, how we made it last
I just smile and say the same thing

I'm not sure how we got here
Baby I'm just glad that we got here

[Chorus:]
It's where the stars line up
It's where the ocean starts
It's in a place I've never been that feels like home
It's in the air right now
It's when you give your all, and give a little more
I've never been so sure, that's where you find love
That's where you find love

It's where the stars line up
It's where the ocean starts
It's in the place and everything that feels like home

It's in the air right now
It's when you give your all, and give a little more
I've never been this sure, that's where you find love

Find love
That's where you find love

Father's Day

Well it is the time of the year where we thank our dad's for all their hard work in raising us from a little baby to what we are now. Overall, this is the day that we muster up our creativity and courage to do stuff or plan things that we don't usually do. Even if it is not much. As long the sincerity is there, it is better than not doing anything to show your appreciation at all.

I don't know if it is counted as a father's day dinner as there might be another dinner tonight but the family had dinner at Lotus Court Restaurant in Mega Hotel last night. Food was okay but not what i would say superb. Can't blame them since they had a few functions going on at the same time.

So here are pictures of 2 dishes that i thought would be worth trying. BUT i forgot the names of those dishes..... anyways, enjoy the pictures.

Chicken! Bottom part is fried with some sort of black pepper sauce but the flavor is just right. Not too heavy on the black pepper. Top part is also chicken but some kind of cold dish. (The cold dish chicken is awesome)

Fish, green "Siakap" i think. Fresh water fish. Sauce just right and the fish is FRESH!

Mossop's Manuka Honey

Have you ever came across this product? I was talking to one of my dad's friends and he introduced to me this product. According to him it has a lot of anti-bacterial effects.

The glucose-oxidase enzyme in honey which is introduced by the bee to the honey, slowly releases the antiseptic "hydrogen peroxide" at a level where it is effective against bacteria but it will not damage tissues.


You may think that you can get hydrogen peroxide in any type of honey since it is introduced by the bee into the honey but hydrogen peroxide content varies from honey to honey and it is the first factor that made honey effective as a wound dressing until it was replaced by antibiotics today.

Further research done by Dr Peter Molan showed and led to the discovery that some honeys, especially Manuka honeys have another property that takes over when the hydrogen-peroxide stops working. Thus, giving it additional anti-bacterial inhibiting abilities which makes the honey more stable as a wound treatment.


This additional factor is known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF that separates table Manuka honey from Active Manuka Honey as it has a twin-action, anti-bacterial property which works even with the dilution of body fluids.

All the research done regarding Manuka honey is done by Dr Peter Molan of the University of Waikato, New Zealand.


How it works: Honey has a large variety of amino acids and vitamins and high osmolarity, so using honey causes an outflow of lymph and thus is ideal for nourishing the skin tissue and helps lift dirt and debris from the wound. Its natural moistness ensures that any dressings used do not stick to the wound, speeds healing and minimizes scarring. The anti-bacterial properties inhibit the growth of bacteria and thus speeds healing also.

Further information on the antibacterial properties of Active Manuka Honey and the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) can be obtained by visiting the University of Waikato Website.

Currently the only person that i know which is selling this Manuka Honey with a UMF strength percentage of 20+ as seen in the pictures above, is my dad's friend at RM 85 per 250 g bottle. I will update his contact information once i get it from him personally.

Fresh New Start

Friday the 13th !! Some say this is a super unlucky day but i think otherwise. It is correct that sometimes superstitions may be true, but what matters most is do you have faith in yourself and in god. I made a drastic decision today. Wouldn't really say it drastic but to me, it is. I changed my hair style.... which i loved so much.. but then i was sick of the old hairstyle so decided it is time for a change and maybe, it is time for a fresh new start and a start of a new chapter in my life.

I've heard of a suggestion of picture blogging from someone a while back so maybe from now on, my blogs are going to be full of pictures :D

So for today, i'll start with pictures of me camwhore-ing hehe. Please do give feedback be it good or not all are welcomed.

heheheh, it is nothing special and no i am not handsome but i really enjoy taking pictures of myself. Long live photography!!! Heheheh i think i'm really poisoned already. Going to get a DSLR soon!

Feelings & emotions. What are they?

"I still have feelings for her, but I don't love her anymore."

"It just feels so right to be together."

"I just can't bear the pain and anger anymore, I've got to get away from him."

"Our marriage is over - I just don't feel the same way about her anymore."

These are the normal phrases that we come across when dealing with someone who has problems with their relationship or are confused with what they are feeling. Emotions or feelings are one of the things that we use to measure life. For example, if we feel happy then where ever we are, whenever we are we'll think that it is a good and healthy place to be. But if we are unhappy, we do things that we aren't supposed to do. This is dangerous as letting feelings take over usually overrides any values of common sense that we have.

So, what exactly are feelings? From a perspective view, they are what we call the emotions that rise up in us in reaction to events that happen around us. For instance, we can feel can feel happy, sad, excited, bored, anxious, embarrassed, miserable and many more feelings that are mostly indescribable by words.

Feelings are not thoughts arising from the mind but it is the sensation coming straight from one's heart. When one says "I feel that you should not do that" he or she is merely expressing his or her opinion and not his or her feelings.

So logically, everyone have feelings but why in some certain environments, occasions or levels of the society some people think that they do not have any feelings. This is common especially among men and certain women. Have you heard of the phrase "Boys don't cry" ? Well, this portrays exactly why these certain people think that they do not have any feelings. But i know in some countries, men are the ones who cry the most if compared to women. Can you guess which country is that?

What i am trying to say is, everyone has emotions. It is just that some of us, push them down or even out of the way. Sometimes, even you or me do this to ourselves and we will think that we're unemotional or emotionless but in truth, it actually means that we are merely not acknowledging those emotion or not expressing them. Not meaning that the emotions are not there.

Simply put, feelings are the way we respond to what happens to us and around us. It is a sign of what is going on inside you. It is even unique as no other person on earth is quite like you thus no other person on earth has the same set of feelings that you have.

We can't control feelings or make feelings go away. For example, have you ever tried making yourself feel happy when you are sad or miserable? It can not be done can it? Even if it is possible, it will not be that easy.

Sometimes i feel as if i live my life based on my emotions and feelings. I do what i like and i do it when i feel like i want to do it. When i don't i do not even bother about it. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Should i change or should i just be who i am?

I do not feel proud with the way i live my life. Even if i am only so young. In the same time, i am not satisfied with how i live my life but i do not know how i should change my life or what should i change my life into.

Goodbye by Janice Wei Lan

Once again, i came across one song that suits my mood right now. Just want to share. Hope all of you like it.

Goodbye by Janice Wei Lan

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

[Chorus:]
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

Repeat [Chorus:]

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye.

To Love Or Be Loved

"What is better? To love or be loved?" Usually we prefer to believe that we have sufficient capacity to combine the two in such a manner that we may truly feel love. A person gives more than the other. It’s a clear fact and it’s present in every situation and it can’t be dismissed.

Without realizing how we really feel, we let ourselves get carried away by time, acting spontaneous, without having time to differentiate good from bad.

We don’t ask ourselves an essential question:" What is better? To love or be loved? "We’d prefer to believe that we have sufficient capacity to combine the two in such a manner that we may truly feel love.

A person gives more than the other. It’s a clear fact and it’s present in every situation and it can’t be dismissed. The reciprocity that we always wish for is actually a false reciprocity. A relationship always consists of two persons, from which, one always gives more that the other. One person is more flexible, gives in more often, is willing to make compromise, while the other strives to always be right, and tries to impose a certain rhythm into the relationship, not from pride but just because she/he thinks it’s best that way.

However, sometimes, because we really wish that everything would go smoothly, we forget to contradict, to lay out our opinion in the open, to be our own self and we become someone totally unrecognizable.

Moreover, love does not consist of changing someone so that they may fit our perfect picture, but finding someone that already fits our personality and our requests. We choose to love rather than be loved, because we know how it feels not to be loved and what's more, we have within ourselves the desire to be loved!

Sometimes, we love more than we should, or we exaggerate in expressing our feelings. Why are we more conscious and why do we think more about the well-being of others and choose to suffer?

Even if the apparent solution is letting ourselves be loved, I don’t think we could live with ourselves or with the thought that our partner is not appreciated as he or she should be. It hurts us when our partner suffers. We love, maybe more than we should.

We love so we can live life to the maximum. We love holding the hope of real happiness in our hearts. We love and we’re not sorry for it. Love is not jealous, love is not envious, love does not cause pain, and love is pure.

There should be no room for selfishness in a relationship, neither room for playing with each other` s feelings. We hurt each other in the most dim-witted ways possible. Sometimes we’re not careful with the one next to us and that can be tragic, because an upsetting thing, once said, cannot be taken back and that leaves marks.

If we’d love each other the way we’re suppose to, most of our problems would instantly melt. Love comes tied to trust, kindness, pleasant character and some other important things. These together could make a great difference worldwide. But it’s hard to get past our own selfishness and forgetting about our personal needs, to caring for the needs of others.

Even in romantic relationships we don’t always give what’s best for our partner. It is wrong, yet, we still tend to do it. These kind of things need to change, because without love, nothing would be the same.

We should choose to love over being loved. It is not easy, but if we all did it, we would be giving and receiving at the same time.

Let’s look at what the Bible has to say about love. This applies to every type or relationship: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Love never fails!

However, where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

New Chatbox

I found a new chatbox early today. One with better colors and better design. Stumbled upon it while browsing around Alexallied's blog.

Anyways, changed the chatbox, it has a more appealing appearance now.. but all the old messages are gone. Sorry guys. Hope you guys come in to liven up the room as it was used to be. Thank you for viewing!

Tired but still act cool! hahaha

Thats all i have for now. Will update more on my activities soon.

Food Hunting Weekend and the Launch of Rice Watch

It has been a wonderful weekend where i joined dasolve from miricommunity.net for his food hunt project along with some others in the community.

It all started with Saberkas Pasar Malam being chosen for Friday's starting point of the food hunt. Since it was in the vicinity, i decided to join the bandwagon and at the same time get to know more people from the community.

So, the promised time was 7pm. While waiting for the promised time, i find myself wandering off to the pasar malam in advance and buying all sorts of tit-bits. In that time frame, i also got to witness the DAP/PKR protest regarding the fuel hike. Apparently, SMS'es were circulated that the protest would start at 4pm in Saberkas area. No wonder the heavy police presence! -.-"

Putting that topic aside, since i did not get a chance to capture any pictures or videos with my crappy handphone and since so many bloggers from Miri blogged about it already, i will just continue on the details of the food hunt.

After countless hours of waiting, (not countless, but it is a few hours) the promised time finally has arrived! As promised i reserved 3 parking spaces for the bandwagon since they said they will be meeting at Miri City Food Court then car pool to Saberkas but after the protest by DAP/PKR a lot of the carparks were vacant. Thus, my effort in reserving the parking spaces were useless -.-"

7.30pm They were late, supposedly waiting for other members who were late >_> as HuiLee told me beforehand. But they arrived soon enough. Members who joined the food hunt were, Lim Pek, BBeve, Amethyst, dasolve (organizer), huilee (asst. organizer), EF-JL, stratOS, inspire, cacatkia, and of course myself.

That is just roughly what went on that day but for info on what we ate and tested along the way till today, you can find more info about it in Dasolve's Food Hunt.

Another thing that i would like to blog about is the Rice Watch project that i am working on. I was inspired to do this after attending the Blog Workshop in Curtin last Thursday. Thanks to the tutors Sean Ang and Rachel for teaching me so much about how to market my blogs and how to set up a good wordpress blog.

You can find the Rice Watch blog HERE

Blog Workshop in Curtin and Another Wednesday!!

It has been so long since i last posted, finally i have the time and the mood to blog today. Right now, i am in the Curtin computer lab listening to the blog workshop organized here by Sean Ang and Rachel , it is totaly FOC with lunch and tea breaks included! A great deal huh.

Surprisingly, the YB is still with the workshop after his speech. Maybe he wants to learn how to blog too. I thought that he would go after his opening speech. I've met Naki Chiam today and looking forward to meet LadyBird and maybe kcishere.

Owh... one more thing.. the internet connection here really is duh ~ -.-" I will write more later, right now we're going to have a tea break and a photo session. If i get a copy of the photo i will upload it later.
