For Nick
01.24.12 (7:02 pm)   [edit]
So after all these years, after all I've said about getting over him and after all the years of being a sensible adult (or so I hope), I am still carrying a ridiculous torch for a super star.

I am so infantile for thinking this way, I know this, but still I can't help how I feel. This heart wants what it wants.

So today, I think I will resign myself to a life alone forever because I will never have the one that my heart insist it wants. It's pathetic, it's crazy and nonsensical, it doesn't make any sense; I know. But what can I say? I've got it bad. So every now and again, I will put on his songs, watch hi videos, read his tweets and cry myself silly for something that will never be. And once in a while a poem or two rears its head as it did today and below is the latest I wrote for him though of course he will never know and will never care.

I build my world around you,

My hopes, my dreams, my heart’s true desire –

you hold in the palm of your hand,

But you’ll never know how much you mean to me

Because you live in a universe that does not have me in it

And I wonder how long must I suffer this one-sided love affair

When I know in reality,

You will never be calling me baby,

I will never be your heart’s delight,

I will never know the touch of your hands,

The whisper of your voice saying sweet nothings

And I will never have the right to call you my own man.

 

Knowing all this,

I know I’m stupid for still yearning for a chance in a million

That you will one day somehow find me in this obscurity

And somehow realize you and I should be one,

And end my misery of loving someone so unattainable,

And we will miraculously be together despite the odds that I know will never be overcome.

 

And so today, I write this,

Knowing full well you will never know,

You will never care that somewhere in this world,

Another one in millions of the femme circle,

Has lost her heart to you.

I love you even in my ignorance of your true self

And despite of all rhyme or reason,

You will always reside in my heart,

Though we are so very far apart,

And I will never see a day,

When these words I say,

Will be welcomed or wanted by you,

But I will say it still,

Nick, I love you.

It's been ages since I last posted here. I have a new blog now, but that blog is dedicated to the memory of my Mom who passed away on November 4th 2011. That blog is at hanimommysgirl.blogspot.com. I am however not here to promote the other blog, but rather to post about things that's going through my mind that would be irrelevant in the other blog. I had a job and quit it. Lasted for only three months. I coped out. I gave in to my cowardice and left instead of facing whatever demons I thought was chasing me. Now life is that much harder without the steady income. Looking for a new job, but haven't found anything new yet. Maybe it's the cosmos telling me that I'm not meant for working... but then, how do I earn $$$$$$ if I don't work? Writing is an option and I am trying to pursue that avenue, but that is still an iffy subject. I hope it'll pan out.. but if it doesn't I'm stuck up a creek without a paddle. My mood has been stable lately. I am neither happy nor am I sad... I'm just feeling normal... no extremes of emotions. Which is good I suppose. I have sort of resigned myself to the idea of being single till the day I die, because it just doesn't seem likely that my soulmate would find me in this lifetime. That perfect match that I've been yearning to find only to come up empty. I'm 32, turning to 33 next year and I've still yet to define who I am. I don't know who I am supposed to be... or what I actually am. I cannot describe myself to my satisfaction. I'm still searching for the answer as to my identity. A little late to still be soul-searching I know, but hey, I only play with the cards I'm dealt with, and so far the hand that I have to play doesn't allow me to find myself so easily. And I am waffling. Sign to log off this post. Who only knows when I'll get back here to post. For a while, this is it from me. Adios blog readers.

06.11.11 (7:30 pm)   [edit]
A sleepless night has gone and sunrise now greet me as I sit here and ponder on what to write here after so long an absence. I could write about my sis coming back tomorrow from England after 17 days visiting her fiancee. I could tell you about how miserable I've been without bossy boots being around to chew my ear off every so often for annoying her on one thing or the other. Or I could tell you about how I'm worried that I will soon forget about mom. That I'm afraid that I won't miss her as much or stop suffering from losing her. Or I could tell you about how I'm still searching for something by which I could define my life. So many things I could share with you and yet I find it is easier to talk about nothing in particular, to just write whatever comes to mind. I'm thinking that I might never achieve my dream of becoming a successfully published writer. I might never make millions by selling best-selling books. I might never leave my mark on the literary world. I might never be known as one of the world's top literary figure, as my idol John Keats is known. But I console myself with the idea that although I might never get the affirmation I need, I have the comfort of knowing that within the boundaries of this blog, my words are there to be read by whoever might stumble upon my postings. You might think that knowing people would actually read these words that I would be more selective with what I write, but then again I never made any pretenses that this blog is more than what it is - a brief take on the angst and audaciousness of my wayward thoughts. Good heavens, i don't know whether it's sleep deprivation or whether I have truly been nonsensical, but these words i have written now make no sense to me. I can't make heads or tails about what i am writing. It's just that the exercise of writing is so liberating that i find myself loathe to stop, even while I know I am writing nothing worth remembering. For the sake of the sensible world out there, I will stop here. Just a brief hello after a long hiatus. Maybe I'll come back sooner next time for my next post.

Remembering Mom
04.02.11 (3:03 pm)   [edit]
They say time heal all wounds. That your heart will mend given enough time. If that is the case then I suppose not enough time have elapsed since mom's demise for I still feel a sharp pain in my heart and a heaviness and an emptiness that won't go away. Life would go on as usual and then suddenly the pain will surge up suddenly that tears just start to well up and sobs are escaping my mouth, pain so acute that I'd feel death is preferable. But I mustn't go that way. No, I'm not suicidal. Not lately, but the pain that drowns me sometimes feel like it's so strong that I'm dying inside. Longing to be with mum, but alas she is beyond reach. All I can say to myself, is to live my life in honour of mom's memories. To live by her ideals and to achieve for her the things that she wants me to achieve for myself. To be the wonderful person she believed she had raised, and which I aspire to be daily. To remember her in everything that I do and not to forget all the things she has taught me. to live a life that would have made her proud of me. That is all I can do now. And to remember her, always. Always the clever realism she is fond of saying in reply to my nonsensical hypothetical questions. Like, what would happen to me mom? What would my life be like? She will always answer in her quirky straight-forward way, along the lines of que sera sera, but imbued with Mom's style. Oh boy, how I miss her sanguine nonchalant way of looking at life, taking each day as it comes and welcoming it with open arms. Mom, if I could share the world the beauty which were you, I would. I would paint the world with the colours of your smile and decorate it with the beauty etched in your heart. Mom, you were the gem in my life and the brilliance of the jewel which were you, will shine from the memories I have of you enshrined in my heart and mind. Mom, please know, where ever you are now, that you are sorely missed and we live now lesser for having lost you. You lived a meaningful life mum, and this is attested by the fact that you are dearly missed by the ones you left behind. Fare the well, my wonderful mom.

When Will You Come Love?
02.09.11 (2:21 am)   [edit]
My sister's boyfriend is down from England and she is so happy to be with him again after months of being apart (he last visited in June 2010). While I'm happy for my sister being so in love, I can't help but feel a bit envious. Seeing them together, so happy to be with each other, and so obviously in love just keep on reminding me of my unchanged single status. I wish I could have someone who loves me too. Someone whose heart yearns for me as much as I yearn for him. Someone who understands me, who cares that I actually exist in this world, who will love me as I am and actually feel like I make him whole. The other half of me. My soul mate. Where is this wonderful guy who is intelligent, witty, fun, kind, sensitive, creative and is looking for someone like me. I feel so lonely being on my own. I yearn to be one part of a whole. To be in a committed and loving relationship. All I have are dreams. Visions of what my life would be like if I have that certain someone in my life. Once when I was depressed and institutionalised, the psychiatrist actually asked me if I was depressed because I'm so desperate to be with someone. Although I'm not to the point where I must have a partner or cease to function, I still can't help this intense longing for someone to hold me in his arms just because he can - because I'm his. I want to experience the joy of being in love and being loved back. I've never had that. Never once been in a relationship. One time, on a really lonely Valentine's day I actually wrote a poem with the gist of asking if Cupid actually forgot about me on his rounds and never actually shot the arrow my way. My heart actually ache with longing for that someone. Sometimes I worry that i'll never meet anyone and will end up dying a bitter old maid. i try to think positively. I keep telling myself that in time that someone will materialize for me and I will experience love and all the wonderful feelings it generates. But time has come and gone and this May I'll be 32 and still single by the looks of things. I wonder when that 'time' is going to come. When will I have my glorious romance and happily ever after? A friend once told me that if I want a guy to be interested in me, just ask him to read my blog and he will be smitten with me. I always thought he was just being kind for surely among my readers there have been men, yet I've never once received an interested inquiry. No man has been swept off his feet reading my blogs and i still think it's just a nice fantasy that my words could entice anyone my way. But it would be wonderful if some stranger who comes upon my blog and read it and fell madly in love with me. To have such powerful mastery of words is something I can only aspire to. But I suppose it could happen. After all John Keats words do leave me wishing that he exist in the present world so I could win his heart and marry him! Hehehe. But what have I ever written in here that could equate to the mastery of Keats? Nothing. My words are just words. They hold no charm, no wow effect... I guess I'll just have to wait for that 'time' to arrive patiently. In the meantime, should any wonderful guy out there find himself enamored by my words, do let me know. Lol.

Cowardice vs Courage
01.19.11 (11:38 am)   [edit]
Am I a coward? I would like to believe not, but things that have happened in my life and how I've dealt with them points toward the affirmative: that yes, I am a coward. Whenever there are things that go wrong or there are problems, I don't stand there and face it, instead what I do is run away from them. So now I ask myself, do I continue on this trend and keep being a lily-livered, yellow-bellied, faint-hearted, good-for-nothing coward, or do I stand here and face this? Run or stay and handle the problem? The easy way out, the way I've always taken whenever something goes wrong, doesn't sit well with me anymore. But coward that I am, I'm apprehensive on the outcome if I don't run now. The unpleasantness that might transpire if I stay and the problems remain unresolved. So, what do I do? Let this problem defeat me, as I always do, or find a way to beat the problem down? I suppose the answer is obvious to anyone who reads this. It is obvious even to me, but I'm just so afraid of the choice that I have to make. It's shameful what a coward I really am. How I've always taken the easy way out and not once been brave enough to deal with what life has offered me. I have to seriously think on what to do, for the choices I make will determine the kind of future that I would have and the kind of person I would be. I so don't want to make the wrong decision. It seems obvious that the right choice would be to stay and face this problem, but my main concern is what if I stayed and it burned me? I don't know. I just don't know

R.I.P. Mom
12.29.10 (10:44 am)   [edit]
Tomorrow would be exactly eight weeks since mom passed away. It still seems surreal to me. It's hard to believe that mom is no longer around. Everyday I miss her. Every second this heart ache for the missing piece that is mom. I haven't really written on my thoughts on mom's demise accept for the eulogy I wrote the day she was burried and a remembrance on Aidil Adha. My sis on the other hand has written six blog post on her missing mom. Sharing with the world her thoughts on mom. Me, on the other hand, I've just remained clammed up. It's just hard to write about mom cause that would mean I'd have to accept that she is really gone and that is something really difficult for me to do. How do I tell myself that no longer will I have this wonderful person in my life? The smile, the laughter, the comforting words that only mom could give is gone now. It leaves me feeling empty and incomplete. My heart is hollow now, where once mom fills it to capacity. I don't know how I've managed to go on after mom moved on. It just doesn't seem right. Going on with life without mom in it. I know you should move on, not be held down by grief... but it's hard. Missing mom actually gives me physical pain. My heart really aches. Words fail to describe the utter desolation I feel when mom left. Thinking of all the things that mom won't be around to see doesn't help any, but it crosses my mind more often than I like. Like mom couldn't see me holding my first job. Or mom wouldn't see Along getting married. Or mom wouldn't see Abang finishing secondary school. All the things that would happen that mom won't be around to see. All the triumphs in life that we won't get to share with mom anymore. My only consolation is thinking that mom is no longer in pain. It was really hard watching her that last few days. Especially the last day when blood wouldn't stop pouring out of her mouth. I keep telling myself that mom is in a better place now. That she no longer has to suffer. But still despite all of these thoughts running in my mind there's still a huge part of me that wish mom is still around. But she's not and I'll have to live with it for that's how destiny wants it to be - for us to go on with life without mom in it. Well mom, I love you and where ever you are know that you are always missed and will never be forgotten. RIP Mom.

Mom
10.30.10 (9:48 am)   [edit]
Tomorrow would be exactly 6 weeks since Mom was admitted into the hospital. Much has happened in regards to mom's health. She went from being chronic in ICU and having only 50% chance of surviving to being stable enough to transfer to a normal ward. A lot of heartache and worries had come and past and still Mom remains in an untenable state of health. I've shed countless tears as have my siblings and even strong-willed Dad have shed a few every now and again. Majority of my time now is spent at the hospital looking after mom, giving her, her liquid feed every three hours, sponging her when her fever is sky high, basically being there to look after her and helping the nurses and doctors aid her in her road to recovery. Yet the journey, as long as it has already been, seem to want to stretch out even longer still. I worry sometime if mom will ever truly recover or will she just slip away, defeated by the various infections in her body... I wrote a poem one dark night while shedding some copious tears, about asking mom not to let go. I would have typed it here to share my turmoil with the world, but I left the poem in a notebook I use to while away time in the hospital while mom sleeps and there's nothing to do. I've missed updating this blog, but have been short on time and energy these long months and even before that, before mom became ill, I was just too blocked to write. Feels good to write again... even if the subject is a bit depressing for me; rehashing on mom's condition when i have to live with its devastation every day. Back to mom... there have been some bright rays of sunshine in these otherwise dark times. Mom, whose first prognosis was of total kidney failure and a future filled with lifetime dialysis, was declared to have recovered the function of her kidney. That her kidney only temporarily shut down due to the severe infection it suffered. This is the ray of sunshine. From the bleak outlook, we now have a reason to be relieved for a while, before being beset by the worry that despite numerous antibiotics given to her, her fever is still spiking and has not loosen its grip on her. The doctor even goes as far as saying that she's afraid that they might run out of resources to try and cure mom. But faith and hope would not let me succumb to the darkness just because the outlook is dark. As long as there is breath in Mom, I will hope for the best and pray she recovers to live to a greater age. In the mean time I just take it day by day and keep on looking after her and keep sending my prayers to Allah the Almighty. Pray to God that this isn't her time yet for I am not ready to part with the one constant pulsating force in my life. Mom, please get well soon and hurry on home.

Wishful Thinking
07.17.10 (8:54 pm)   [edit]
One moment I was young and the next I'm here - 31 and yearning for my misspent youth... so that I could make things right. So I can fix what went wrong and perhaps alter the timeline. Who haven't had that thought? To go back in time and change things? It's ironic really, me wanting to go back in time to change things cause when I was 19 and nothing really ever went wrong in my life I wrote and essay on how i have nothing i want to change in the past... how one shouldn't be wishing for a way to fix the past. How insanely naive and optimistic I was back then. To actually believe that things will work out for themselves... no matter what you've done. 12 years down the line, I feel like smacking that younger version of myself for there's so many things I'd change if i only could. But it's easy looking back in hindsight and say you'd do things differently if you could. But thing is I think if i'd have to do it all over again, I'd probably make the same mistakes I did... It's just wishful thinking that if only i did certain things differently I'd have a different - better - life now. Who is to say that is what would happen? All we have are the here and now and all we can do is make the best of what we have. Easier said than done of course. And I'm pontificating again. I'm outta here. Just felt like writing these thoughts down.

Lamenting
06.23.10 (12:08 am)   [edit]
For so long, my one constant dream is to have a book published - to become a published author. But I wonder how much of that dream is realistic. To date, the longest tale I ever written was a 50 + page novella I wrote at age 16 and which has now disappeared in the anals of my past. I have to date written anything of novel length and I fear I never will... and what would then become to my lifelong ambition? Will it become another mockery in my life which is already filled with endless travestries? I don't know why it's so hard to write. It is the only thing in life I'm positive I'm good at. Yet, the words that would build a sentence, that would build a paragraph, that would fill a page and create a chapter and in the end mould a story, just wouldn't come. I've stared at the blank screen so many times and tried to begin to fill them up with words, but somehow no muse lights up my mind and I just fail to continue. I don't know what else to do with myself. What will I become if I don't hone this craft and come up with a book? Some people can sing, can dance, can teach, can sell... I... I can write. Writing is the only thing I'm trully good at... and even at that I'm failing. What is wrong with me? What is to become of me? What is a writer who can't write? It's like a painter whose paint has run dry. About the only thing I do write nowadays, is this blog and frequent mails to my friend Darlene. Hardly best-seller materials! Oh well, enough griping! Just wanted to share my lamentations to the world at large. Lightens my burden a bit. And to whomever keeps reading my blogs... thank you. You give this wannabe writer a balm to her soul, knowing that somehow her words (such as it is) is being read... even if not so much appreciated.

Saying Adieu To Nick.
06.11.10 (6:34 pm)   [edit]
I think I'm finally able to let go of my unrequited love for Nick. The idea of not having him in my life doesn't terrify me anymore. I think the reason I was so attatched to the idea of having him in my life was because for so long I have no one in my life that even remotely thrills me as much as the idea of having him does(no matter how far fetched it was). But lately, I find my thoughts occupied with someone other than Nick. Of course this said, I have to state that just a few days ago I dreamt that Nick and I got married... but that's beside the point. The thing is, now, my days isn't consumed with thinking of Nick, so I guess I'm through wishing for the impossible and am now ready for something real... when and if it comes. So here's to letting go to an obsession that was getting way out of hand. Thank heaven's it's come to an end.

When Will I Have 'A Walk To Remember' Of My Own?
05.15.10 (6:32 pm)   [edit]
Just saw A Walk To Remember once again. I've forgotten what a really beautiful and touching movie it is. Still can't stop crying. I don't remember if I cried this much after watching it the first time. I don't know if it is so much the movie, or it's just me being too emotional tonight. But the movie just shreded my heart to pieces. To have a love so strong that it trancends death. It was just so beautiful and breaks my heart again because all these years and I still haven't found anything remotely close to what Linden and Jamie shared in the movie (I know it's from Nicholas Sparks' novel but I haven't read it so I can't comment on the book.) I would rather experience heart-wrenching pain than to never know love at all. I know that sounds rather masochistic of me, but trully, I would rather to have love and lost than never to experience love at all. I know that love will come on it's own time. Sometimes it might even catch you unawares, but it will come. You just never know when. You can't rush it, can't force it to happen, no matter how much you might wish otherwise. I know all of these, but still it's hard to still my heart and be patient for that once in a lifetime, eternal love that will surely one day strike my heart. Three decades has passed and my heart still remain untouched, unscathed, unmarred. And I can't help but wonder... when? When will it happen? When will my heart sing with joy at a love newly blossomed? When will I look into another's eyes and see my soul reflected in them? When? It's a waiting game that I'm afraid I might just lose. What if love never arrive? What if it'll never be my time? What if I go on forever alone and never able to find the mirror half of my soul? I think these fears, these doubts that keep hovering at the back of my mind lately is why the movie affected me so much tonight. It's not that I'm wishing for a tragic love story for myself, but I'd rather have that than nothing at all. Touch wood.

My Birthday Wish
05.12.10 (10:21 pm)   [edit]
31 today. Another year older, but am i another year wiser? I doubt it. I'm still stuck in a rut. Still going no where fast. I wonder what this new year for me will bring? More opportunities or more of the same? I hope 31 will be a good age for me. A new begining. A friend wished for me just a few hours ago that I will lose my single status and I told him that's a good wish. I hope his wish for me will come true. Other than development in my relationship status, I too hope there'll be development in my finnacial status. Still on the fence about getting a real job as opposed to just doing the freelancing I'm doing right now. Of course the drawback of getting a real job is the risk of me becoming loco superfast. My sis say i won't do well in the work place. She said that mixing with people will drive me back to the asylum faster than you can say schizo-affective disorder. Change. My life definitely needs serious remodeling. It needs to be shaken up, restructured and rearanged from begining to the end. I need to stop being in this quagmire I've sunk myself into for the past 6 years. I have not moved on after graduation. Despite several attempts at intervention from my dad in which I've unsuccessfully tried to do my master's and a second bachelor's degree... I'm still stuck in a rut. I need to seriously reinvent and redefine myself. I vaguely remember that once I used to have a sense of self, but now, sitting here facing the computer screen 11 minutes after the exact time I was born on this earth 31 years ago, i find that i have no inkling of my true self; I've lost sight of who I am and who I have become. I'm lost. And tonight, I realised something monumental - I can't remain lost. I must find my way back to life. I must start living again. The 3rd decade of my life is already a year in, and I can't believe I still have no directions. Nothing to aim for. I may not know much, but I do know this, I'm not the type of person who can be happy going through life aimlessly... which is why for the past 6 years I haven't been able to be trully happy because my life had been filled with nothing but aimlessness. Well... all of these revelations are all well and good... but the important thing to ask is, will I act on it? I have been telling myself all of these things for ages... but still my life has remained the same... lets just hope this year it'll be different. Lets hope I really will make some changes in my life. One final note. Happy Birthday to me. Lets hope this new year for me will bring new cheer.

'So Tired Of Living, Misunderstood'
03.23.10 (12:23 pm)   [edit]
How many ways can you self-destruct? Countless really. And I should know this because I've watched myself do it dozens of times. Self-anihilation. You just destroy yourself. It happens silently and slowly that you hardly notice what you are doing, until you reach a certain point and you crash and burn - yet again. Perhaps it is easier to monitor this self-destruct pattern if you don't have an inbuilt mechanism which triggers a one way ticket to obliteration. Why do I do this to myself? Allow myself to be subsceptible to the illness? Why do I tango with disaster? Do I have a permenant desire to destroy myself and my life? Just when I thought I was safe... Just when I thought I'm getting somewhat sane again, an episode would happen which make me seriously doubt my sanity. I can't go on like this. I can't function. I'm either angry or upset, at all times. My emotions are not on an even keel. I don't think I'm a fully functioning adult. I'm not sane I think. Sanity is something that I only kid myself with. At all times the disease is inside me. It is only toying me with glimpses of some semblance of sanity. How do I go on living like this? Even at my most optimistic moment, the future looks bleak. A life tattered and shattered by a disease that can't be beaten into submission. This is my cross to bear and I wonder if this is all there is to my life? A continuous and never ending struggle - which can't be won - with something most people take for granted: their sanity. This following excerpt from Mika's Blue Eyes lyric really gels with what I'm feeling at the moment: Oh your heart is broken to your surprise You're sick of crying for blue eyes So tired of living misunderstood Think hard woman i think you should Come sorrow is so peculiar It comes in a day then it'll never leave you You take a pill wonder if it will fix you They wonder why sorrow has never left you

Stuck

How did time escape my notice? It's like just yesterday that I close my eyes a 15 year old, and suddenly now I'm about to turn 31 in a few months and I have nothing to mark the passage of time. Life just went by in a blur and it's like I don't even know where my life's gone to. I don't know what I've done with my time on earth. I have nothing to show for it. I'm still daddy's little girl and my big sis little sister. I have not evolved. I've remained stuck somewhere in the past. I'm talking about my mindset and my lifestyle. I still live like a 15 year old except I don't go to school anymore. I guess that's why I keep having dreams that I'm still in school. Even my subconscious realizes that I haven't moved on. I have failed to grow up. I've become an adult without changing my mentality. I'm still that spoiled brat who gets whatever she wants if she does her chores and bide her time. It's embarassing to wake up one day and realise that you've remained stagnant - a child still stuck somewhere inside a very adult form. Everything about me has aged but my mind refused to grow along with my body. I don't want to be a teenyboper all my life! But somehow, I just don't feel like an adult. Nothing's changed about my life. It's the same old story. I'm getting sick of myself. Thing is I don't know what to do to change. My mind is stuck in a time Warp. Help!

Ruined For Others. Why Nick? Why?
02.18.10 (6:08 am)   [edit]
"I wish I may, I wish I might, be that certain someone you wish for every night." So sings BSB in their song If You Knew What I knew. But wishing doesn't get you anything. It certainly doesn't get me Nick and everytime there's a guy interested in me, Nick will always ruin me for him. Whoever he might be. I want to cry really, because here I am lonely and not in a relationship, but still the one guy I long for day and night doesn't even know I'm alive and couldn't care less even if he does know me. I just can't move on. My heart is feeling ripped out now. Why does this heart wants the one guy I can never have? Why? There's no way in this lifetime where our worlds would colide. He is so far out of reach that it's just ridiculous this strength of feeling I have for him. I'm not sick at the moment so I know what reality says. Reality says he is already with someone he loves. Reality has it that he's a superstar and I am just one in millions of faces who numbers as his fans. I tell this to myself, but my heart just refuse to love another. It's stuck on him. It's sickening. Even to me. Why? Why can't I just get over my obsession of him? It's not healthy. I don't want to stay single for the rest of my life, but at this rate I'm going to end up a bitter old spinster. Now I'm feeling really, really down. Nick, why are you so irressitable? What spell have you cast over me? Why can't I just let go of you? Why?

Lamenting on Lack Of Love in my Life
02.15.10 (8:23 pm)   [edit]
Another Valentine's Day gone away with me still having no Valentine to speak of. It's a crime really, that a romantic soul like mine never had a chance to really celebrate my romantic nature. I don't know why, but somehow for close to 31 years (will turn 31 this year) romantic love has escaped me. All these years has gone by and I have faced it alone. Well apart from my family that is. Is it me? To quote Darren Hayes's song "Am I unlovable? Is my skin untouchable?" I just can't wrap my head around it, why I am still without a significant other at this age. Never even suffered a broken heart, because my heart has never been given to anyone. Don't count Nick. You and i both know that he is just a far-fetched dream and it's really laughable to consider that my heart can be broken by him. The sad poem I wrote when he was dating Paris Hilton not counting! Hahaha. But seriously, even my tough-as-nail sister has had her heart melted by her new beau. Even my 15 year old brother has a lot more romance going in his life than mine! So I wonder, what is it with me that can't seem to find anyone who'd wanna be by significant other. Where do people meet anyway? The lonely heart's column? Online dating sites? I just don't believe in it. Even if I do subscribe to some, I have to admit. I hate being alone. I am not those independent single ladies who are not lesbians but hate men or just are happy without a relationship. I'm not those kind of women. I happen to want to be in a relationship - desperately. Been waiting to meet my soulmate since I had my first crush at 6 years old. That's almost 25 years in stasis. Or am I not made to be in love and have my fairytale happy-ever-after? People normally have their first romance in their teenage years or early 20s. I'm 31 this year for God's sake. Why has love passed me by without knocking on my front door? Everyone on this earth is destine for someone, if not while they are living than when they are dead. Perhaps Allah's grand plan for me is to live this eartly life on my own and will only meet my soulmate in the after life... Gosh, i'm getting morbid and that's a sign for me to go. Cupid, if you are reading this in cyberspace point that arrow to someone whom I could call mine. I'd be thankful for ages! hahaha.

Birthday Bother
01.28.10 (9:38 pm)   [edit]
It's his birthday today. I don't know if that is why I'm feeling blue today or what. But it's another year that he exist seperate of me. I know it's silly and rather selfish and self-centered, but I can't help but long that his life could somehow mesh with mine. Loving him (if that is what this is) from afar and knowing that it will never be is driving me crazy. Listening to all those love songs from him is not helping either cause it's only fueling my longing. Right now listening to Spanish Eyes. Ok. So technically it's not just his song. It's BSB's, but what can I say... his voice is predominant in that song and he croons so convincingly. It's my all time fave song, but it does live me with a bitter taste in my mouth. Singing along to it, internalising it's meaning... it's all the more poignant for me. Which is ridiculous, it's not like he wrote it. Some songwriter did and he just sings it along with four other guys. But with respect to the rest of the BSB members all I can focus is him. Which is so ridiculous. I know. I should grow up and move on from this extended teenage crush. I'm a full grown adult and should be past obsessing over some unattainable dream... Yet knowing all this I still cling helplessly to the dream... Even knowing that he is happily in a relationship... I can't help but be lost in my unrequited love for him. And that's another thing, how can one love what one doesn't know. And truth time, I don't know Nick from Adam. I don't know why I just can't let go off the dream of him. It's not meant to be. He doesn't know I exist. And there is no way that I can see when our worlds would colide, but still I find myself wishing him happy birthday first thing in the morning. Why does this heart yearn for something that will never be? I'm not delusional at the moment so I know there's no way in God's green kingdom will I ever be a match for him. In all that is logical, a star in the sky is so far remove from the earth in this solid world. A star shining so brightly will only bring catasthrophe should it fall to the earth. And so the star and the plain old earth will never meet. The earth can only basked in the star's twinkling light, but the star is not at all affected by what lies on earth. And so Nick exist for me, but I am so far remove from his life that it's laughable to think of me agonising over my unasked for affections. It's a joyous day for him, but all it makes me is sad that I'm not by his side to celebrate his 3rd decade on earth. Happy Birthday Nick, hope this day brings you all that you ever wished for. Hope you are happy surrounded by those who has the right to love you... even if that right will never be mine, I don't begrudge you the happiness that you find in someone else's arms. For they know you like I never could as that is how the fates want it to be. Never the twain shall meet.

My battle
01.13.10 (10:23 pm)   [edit]
Another year, another day, another moment gone away and I am still here without a clue as to where my life is headed. Day by day I grow older, but I am still stuck somewhere in my past, unable to grow up. At least that's what I think. I'm turning 31 this year and have not established a career for myself, never once been in a relationship, never held a job... In every way one meassures success I lose out. My life is a series of underachieving things. Nothing I've done so far has ever turned out right. I wonder how much is to blame on my illness and how much is really just me not measssuring up? I still find it hard to accept that I must be content with the fact that this illness will haunt me for the rest of my life. It's horror reaching into the deepest recesses of my life and tears it assunder. I know I'll be better off if I learn to accept the fact that I'll never be normal again, that I will forever be tainted by this illness... but I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I now carry this malady inside me 24/7 365 days a year and forever more. I am terrified of the day that I'll be sucked into the madness again. Everytime it leaves me less of a person that I once was. I barely recognize who I am anymore. My sense of self, my self-assuredness is nothing but a wisspy shadow. I am not a whole person anymore. I haven't been whole for the last decade. A huge part of who I once was has dissipated into nothingness, eroded by the illness that I must bear for God only knows why. The person that I envisioned I'd be at this age, the person I could have been, never had a chance to exist because somewhere down my past, I failed to drive away the deamon that resides in my mind ready to strike if I was just a little less vigilant. For years prior to actually sucumbing to the illness, I lived in a secret fear that I'd suffer the same fate as my mother. The fear has now been realised and I am still learning to cope with the onslaught of the neverending battle with trying to stay sane. Every decision I make, every action I take will forever be questioned - by myself and my family. Am I in my right mind when I did this, or is this the illness taking over? Sanity is a treasure that most people take for granted. I'm telling you, it's no picnic when you lose control of your mind. Even after you gain it back, the after effects are devestating. I don't know how long I have until it strikes again. I've seen it with my mom growing up. She was almost always sick and I know that is what lies in my future - a never ending battle with trying to stay sane. That is all that is certain about my future and it is hardly a happy one. But life is what you make of it and I'm hoping that somehow I'll manage a semblance of a life. A life that is somewhat fulfilling if not entirely devoid of heartache. For let me tell you with an illness like this heartache is part and parcel of the whole package. I just hope that there'll be some sunny days to intersperse the dreary ones. And one thing is for sure, lamenting on the fact somehow eases the pain in my heart that I bear daily. It's a good thing I have this blog. Even if only I ever read it. I know it's out there. That I am not hiding from my problems. That I'm brave enough to face it head on... even if I still find it hard to swallow.

Here we go again
11.12.09 (4:25 am)   [edit]
I can feel it coming this time. I know I am getting sick again. Reading through pamplets online about schizo-affective brought me to tears because I remember how horrible it was when I lost my mind countless of time before and what I put my poor family through. Growing up i had always resented my mom for having schizophrenia. It hurts watching her slip away from my grasp time and time again; lost in her own private world. Yet, ever since I was 20 and initially diagnosed at age 22, I have become what I have resented all these years. And I thought after 2 years with nothing really serious that I'm safe. Foolish me. I feel myself slipping into that abyss yet again and I'm dreading the crazy spiral this illness will suck me into. Maybe because I am recognizant of the fact that I am becoming sick again, I can stop it in its track so that it does not become another endless bout of crazies. Living with it is one thing but reading about it so starkly written has given me a feeling of tragedy. My life is a tragedy. It's horryfying what I read, but it's all true. It's like someone has dived into the deepest recesses of my horrors and catalogue its fault one by one. Like that song, "I felt as if he read my letters and sang each one out loud". I am so dreading this bout of illness I'm about to face yet again. the sleepless nights has already begun. What next? Rampant ranting of nonsensical things? Delusions of grandeur? Suicidal tendencies showed its ugly head already. Manic and depressed at the same time. My value-judgement is already impaired. What next? What fiendish hell is in store for me these coming days? God, help me, don't let me spiral out of control again....

Loneliness
09.25.09 (8:40 pm)   [edit]
I don't know how it's possible, but day by day I jsut seem to get lonelier and lonelier. I didn't think it was possible to be as lonely as I am now. I don't know why, but I seem to have lost the ability to interact with people. Even online! I don't know what has happened to my people skill. Sidetracking for a little while, I'm playing the sims3 now. and if I was actually a sim in the game, my social bar would be in the red by now. I'm that lonely. Well, there's the family at home, but mom sleeps all the time, dad is hardly home and when he is it's not like he's into socializing, and my lil bro doesn't have the time of day for me and the same goes for my sis. Leaves poor me all to her ownsome. I'm so lonely it might as well be that I'm stranded all by myself in an isolated island in some far far away location.

To Melati - Wherever you are
08.17.09 (2:04 am)   [edit]
What would I say to you if you were in front of me now and I can tell you all about how I never meant to hurt you? What would I say to you after all these years apart? That I’m sorry? How I’ve missed you? How I regret not being a part of your life? Every single day I think about how you were the best friend I ever had; how wonderful it all was before I got sick and delusional and blamed you for everything that went wrong with us - when it was my entire fault. I wanted too much, demanded the impossible and blamed you when my wishes weren’t fulfilled. I’ve lost many friends throughout the years, but losing you hits me the hardest. We grew up together. Cried over dead cats, fought over silly things that teenage girls fought about, got the same grades for our PMR, shared our feelings for our crushes, skipped religious ceremony to go and see the Backstreet Boys for the first time… So many memories. Growing up with you alongside was a gift that I sadly ruined by ending our friendship in such a callous way that now many years down the road you don’t want to have anything to do with me. I wouldn’t either, if I were you and what I did to you was done to me. I was so cruel and I had no reason to be that way. Sure by that time we’ve grown apart, but you remained true to our friendship to the last. I wouldn’t say you never did anything to hurt me, because you did… but that’s what friendship is all about. On good days, you are all hunky dory but there’ll be bad times when one or the other say or do something that would rip at the heart. But the thing is, You are supposed to get over it and make up and be friends again. You don’t go and terminate your friendship. But that was what I did. I wrote a letter filled with cruel and angry words crowded with accusations and finger pointing. For the life of me, I can’t recall what I wrote only that they were angry and cruel. My only defense was I was ill and prone to tantrums and I threw a big one right at your feet. After so many times hurting you, I bet you thought it was goodbye and good riddance when I sent that letter ending our friendship… or did you even bother reading it till the end once you got the gist of the first few words? I know I wouldn’t have read till the end. They were so hurtful – the things I wrote. I might not remember exactly what I wrote but I remember that it was meant to hurt and destroy all traces of friendship left. I was brutal. I don’t know what I could do that would heal the wounds and resurrect our dead friendship. I know I killed it. I know I destroyed any warm feelings you might have had for me. But somehow, I just can’t let it go. I can’t just forget one of the most integral parts of my life because when I was too sick to know what I was doing, I shredded the ties that bound us together as friends to pieces. It’s been eight years since I wrote that cursed letter… and yet it’s after effects still leave me shaken to the core. I’ve missed you ever so much. Wondering how your life is right now. Last I heard you just got married. Courtesy of your younger sister telling me on the phone one night when I grew enough courage to try and call you at your parents house (lucky for me the number was still the same). She told me you no longer lived there, that you were now married and living in another house with your husband. She gave me your hand phone number and I texted you. You never replied. The silence told me all; that you wanted nothing to do with me anymore. That was about 2 years ago. I dream of you from time to time. Like we were still friends. You’d be accompanying me to go somewhere, or you were coming to get me to go out… but you were there. And we were always friends. And then, I’d wake up and realized what a lie that dream was, for in reality you are no longer going to accompany me anywhere and you are not about to come and get me to go anywhere. That ship has sailed. And it left me yearning, longing, missing… for a girl I knew once upon a time who was my best friend in the entire world. The only friend whoever got me. A friend who saw me getting sick and could tell that I wasn’t being myself even while I was denying it. But what can I say now? One can’t undo what one has done. It just doesn’t work that way. So these words that I write? They are just for me…. wishing you would somehow stumble upon it and read it and forgive if not forget all that I did to you. And come back. Melati, I miss you. With all my heart.

The Dratted Past
07.27.09 (11:16 pm)   [edit]
The past was another place and another time, and I should do the wise thing and forget about it. I shouldn’t let it haunt and torment me. The past belong exactly there. The past. Yet telling me all of these things doesn’t change the fact that I’m still allowing myself to be dragged down by what happened in my past. All my mistakes, all my misfortunes, all my heartache… I just can’t let it go. So, how do I move forward? How do I severe the ties that bind me to a past that’s still eating away at my heart? I’m still weighed down by regrets and what-if-questions. What if I hadn’t been sick? What if I hadn’t done this? Done that? It’s a never ending torture chamber. Why can’t I just let it go? I’m still stuck in the quagmire of self-blame and I just can’t seem to dig myself out of it. Truth is, I don’t think I’m well yet. I’m just not moving on. I’m still in that mindset of doom and gloom. I haven’t moved on. I just don’t know how. I need help. But where can I get it? The doctor who is ever changing whom I see every 3 months for 5 minutes whose only question is if I am sleeping at night and whether I hear voices or not. How is that helpful? I know I’m still not well. But the medicines that I swallow every night are supposed to be making me all better. Writing this I realized that maybe I need to find a different solution than what I’m being given at the moment. I’m just not feeling right.
