Beautiful Girls...

As the title suggests, this entry is dedicated to all the ladies out there.. (partially kidding)
The actual reason for this entry is to clarify a few things about guys and their perception of beauty. We're often misunderstood when we're admiring something and we never meant to hurt anyone in the process. haha.

First things first, a fact needs to be stated here so that you people (girls) can understand the basic way that a man operates. The fact is: Guys are attracted to stimulation from the outside, whether it be visual, or sound, or even touch. It's a proven theory, be it man or animal. We are kind of a little bit disconnected from the touchy-feely things that most girls feel. Don't get me wrong though. We do feel things sometimes, its just that its not the main thing that provokes us to act or do something about it (and the fact that most guys try to hide it in the effort of maintaining their 'macho'ness doesn't really help in us being in touch with our feelings). So mind us when we start appreciating beautiful things. It's really actually in our genes.

We like beautiful things. We watch in awe when a beautiful car is passing by, or when we hear beautiful sounds from music, even the sound of the recital of the Quran and not to forget the occasional awe when we see a really beautiful girl pass by. The fact that we admire these things actually doesn't mean we're probably going to make a move on it (occasionally maybe, but not always). It's just plain old admiration towards beautiful things. Yes, we sometimes utter things we're not suppose to, like, saying a girl is hot in front of our girlfriend (sorry to those girlfriends out there who had the chance to go through this), but you have to understand, its just admiration. Nothing more, nothing less. We still think that the girlfriend is beautiful in her own way (most probably better) but its just because the other girl passing by is also beautiful. Are we at fault for appreciating what god made? (and in certain cases: what man had a hand in helping make it beautiful?). Surely you don't think that right? haha.

In my perception, a beautiful girl is a girl that could pull off a white baju kurung, in the most blissfully innocent way possible. A girl that could talk with confidence but at the same time is really aware of what is going on and actually knows what she is talking about (ditzy girls are just plain). A girl that could just smile in anyway possible for her at the moment. A strong girl (not in the physical aspect but the emotional one). A classy one who knows how to bring herself with the manners and etiquette thats expected in a real woman. I know she's probably hard to find. Hell, she might not even exist. But why not have a perception right? It's only a view. A point from my perspective. I might have already seen the girl or something but, who knows?

On the same subject, I also know another thing. It's an old saying (you might have heard it from a certain advert or something) which goes: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or so they say. So the person in question should be the judge. Don't let peoples' opinions sway you from what you think. Are you actually beautiful or are you not, the answer is of your own choosing. The guys just have their opinions. Nothing more, nothing less. Besides, a girl with confidence is surely attractive (not kidding).

So to the readers,
for the guys, try to hide some of your admiration of other things (or other girls) when you are with your loved ones and maybe even try to appreciate the things that are right in front of you ( I really think i should take my own advice) and for the girls reading this, its always and forever will be an honor and of utmost pleasure for us guys to see YOU.

p/s: This blog is written in my own perspective and has nothing to do with the guys who don't really feel like what i have just described and the facts are from my readings and perspective (so no one is actually accountable for what I think except myself).

summer time in nashville

Truth be told, summer is boring. I am writing this blog just because i'm bored. nothing thats really important or matters happened in this last two months... Just classes(which are boring), trips to places like Kentucky (went to nashville, was fun, but it was just overwhelmed by the boredness of summer), picnic(which was also fun but just lasted like for the night), and other unimportant stuff. i can just go on and on and on about this but what can i do... it just is.. haha

On a another note, summer made me realize, im f***ing lonely... haha.. how sad is that. The feeling just gets worse as the day comes to a close. The fact that i have now two roommates plus one helps a bit, but working just makes me lonely some more... even my roommates are busy working now... haha.. so what to do?? u tell me..

But on a positive note, a road trips coming up. I surely hope it would be a memorable one. i cant wait for the beach, the company, and the long hours of driving across the country(to those who are going for road trips, please be careful and drive safely cause i sure hope to see you guys here when i come back) .. hehe.

so as always i'll include something a little bit emo and maybe inspiring for those readers who are always thinking i'm a little bit emotional or for those who appreciate a good word or two...

See.... theres this boy whose life has been all but trouble... he grew up thinking no one was by his side. there was the mother who left him while he was young... a father who was always busy with his work... grand parents and relatives who are loving but still feels distant...he feels alone and unsure of who are the people that he really knows...
But on one normal day his grandfather said... "although you feel alone.. theres always going to be someone by your side.. even for a short while and a few in the long run and some that will surely be there.. rest assured.. you will know who they are".. this grandfather of his pasts away a short while after that, while he was in school ... how lonely he felt then... but like his grandfather said... theres always someone around him no matter what.. he starts to realize this...his friends helped him study, feel included, were there during the bad times and the good.. the teachers thought him nearly everything he needs to know.. and the parents has always provided with everything he needs no matter how hard it was... and his life goes on knowing this...
Although the this boys life story has yet to come to an end... there are somethings that could be learned from it.. remember at least these four things:
1- No matter how hard it could get, somebody has it harder.
2- The people around you are there for you in whatever situation you have ( it wont be the same person in every situation but there will be a person for any situation)
3- Be grateful for what you have and what you will get cause you will never know when you'll lose them.
4- And finally, you need to remember that you will always have that one sanctuary that no one else could take away from you... its yourself and what you believe in.

So thats it for now... signing off.. me
