The Angel Inside #II

By Chris Widener
Well u hv to be in a situation where u are desperately seeking for answers to all your questions...otherwise this book will only be a waste of time...

Take a journey to a modern day Florence, Italy where a despondent thirty year old Amer
ican, Tom Cook, goes to "find himself." On the last day of his trip, a mysterious old man approaches Tom on a park bench and begins to lead Tom on a tour of Art, the life of Michelangelo, the history of David, and a deeper look at Tom's own life. This book will inspire you to take your life to the next level and beyond. It will encourage you and challenge you to create a life of power and beauty.

***

*The importance of planning and preparation
"Planning helps you do it right the first time."
"You can always erase and start over a drawings. Once you separate a piece of marble you can't go back. You need to do it right the first time. Sometimes in life you can go back, but it is better to get it rigt the first time because of good planning and preparation . Always do the the sketching and drawing first."
"Your mind and heart will be free to pursue whatever you desire. You will want to move very fast because of the excitement you feel. This is all very well and good. Yet the lesson is to not move too fast. Fast enough to get where you want to be, but slow enough so as to do it right the first time.

*All accomplishment starts with one swift action
Why most people dont start?

"They never give it enough thought to actually bring themselves to a place of action."
"They do not plan and lay out a strategy."

"They are engrossed or tied into what they are currently doing that they cannot start on their dreams."
"Fear, fear of anything.Fear of everything."

*Embracing the stages of chipping, sculpting, sanding and polishing
"Supreme artist chips away at us, other times when he is sculpting us, other times when he is sanding, and then times when he is polishing. All of these are needed to create a beautiful life, just as they are needed to create a beautiful sculptures."

The thing is whethere you can accept it and embrace it.

C H I P P I N G
"Every person has parts of them that simply must go. If those part stay, you might never see the Angel Inside. If we are going to create a life of power and beauty, we must allow ourselves to go through the processes that chip away at all of the peripheral parts of us that hide our true selves."

S C U L P T I N G
"The fine art of slowly and delicately revealing the form and beauty of the piece."

S A N D I N G
"represent those times in our lives when seemingly -ve circumstances surround us. It is when things grate against us. They can be irritable if we let them. Ppl...circumstancess...they all perform the act of sanding."

"Trials, adversity and suffering, sanding--are all significant process of shaping our lives...if we handle them correctly.

P O L I S H I N G
"Final Step"
"represents the part of life that everyone wants to skip to."




*Being content: Sometimes success takes years

"You place too much pressure on yourself to succeed. You are telling yourself that you should be far more ahead of where you are. This just isn't true."

"The earlier we are in our lives the more we hope for the latter stages, and the later we get in life, the more we long for earlier times. The key is to enjoy each stage and understand that success takes time."

" If we focus on being grateful for our lives and what we have, our thoughts will tend to be thoughts of gratitude."



*No one starts with the Sistine chapel
"Many young people, and even anyone at the beginning stages of a new venture for that matter, pressure themselves to produce tremendous work as soon as they start."

"Most people cannot accomplish the great work that will be lasting until they have gone through the process of growing and learning from their experience."

Closing:

"Enjoy yourself now. Live your life with excellence. Become a person that others will be proud to know. Do the best you can at your work. And everything that is destined to come to pass will indeed come to pass."

The Angel Inside #I


By Chris Widener

Well u hv to be in a situation where u are desperately seeking for answers to all your questions...otherwise this book will only be a waste of time...

"Take a journey to a modern day Florence, Italy where a despondent thirty year old Amer
ican, Tom Cook, goes to "find himself." On the last day of his trip, a mysterious old man approaches Tom on a park bench and begins to lead Tom on a tour of Art, the life of Michelangelo, the history of David, and a deeper look at Tom's own life. This book will inspire you to take your life to the next level and beyond. It will encourage you and challenge you to create a life of power and beauty."


*Finding the angel inside you
"Let us start with a story: One day, Michelangelo was working on this marble that would become David, and a young child came by where he was working. Michelangelo said to him, 'Young boy, there is an angel inside of this rock and I am setting him free'"
Michelangelo saw the angel deep at rest within the rock, waiting to be set free to inspire Florence and the world!"

"There is an angel inside you. There is a person of beauty. There is a person of power. David represent both"


*The power of following your own passion
"The world is filled with ppl who do not do what they love. Most ppl drift through life like a feather in the wind. They do not have a purpose that comes from their passion, from their strength. These are the men and women who, as it is said, 'live lives of quiet desperation.' Time passes and they are near death and all they are left with is regret. Yet there is nothing they can do about it. Their lives are lost because they did not decide to do what they wanted."

"You will never be successful doing what you do not want to do. You will certainly sabotage yourself."


*Being confident in your strength
"If you are to be successful, you must find self-confidence in the things that you do well and then pursue them.As the David had done over the city of Florence for so many hundreds of years, the secret is that you too mus
t stand confidently in whatever you do." "Begin to work in an area of your strength and talent. By doing so, you will feel and become more confident. The reason you have no confidence now is because you are not good at what you do. So you are reminded , both consciously and subconsciously, everyday, that you are not good at what you spend most of your day doing. This breed doubt, fear and ultimately, despair."

*Beauty through details
"The beauty is in the details"
"When we are working in areas that we have no passion for, it is natural for us, with no care for our work, to simply put in the time, to do whatever will get us by and produce work that is mediocre at best and with no pleasure attached to it. Michelangelo was passionate about his work. He wanted every statue and painting to look like as though it might suddenly spring to life."

*Your hand creates what your mind conceives
If you really looked at the David you will notice that The head and the hands of David are out of proportion. Michelangelo knew that the head of II Gigante would be some 20 feet off the ground. Of course, the further away an object is, the smaller it appears. He made the head large to provide context, so it could be seen in proper proportion to the rest of the body as people looked up from the foot of the statue. (The lesson here is:) Sometimes parts of your life must be bigger than others in order to bring balance."

"You can become anything you want in life. You can achieve whatev
er you desire. But you must make the connection between both the head and the hands."

"Most people live in one or the other. They either conceive of amazing things--they dream--but it never goes beyond that. They live only in their minds. Still others do just the opposite. They are filled with action, but not action that is thought
out well. It is movement that takes them nowhere. The secret is this: Let your mind conceive it and then let your hand create it. True accomplishment requires both.

secret revealed?

I finally let a few close friends read my blog, and i believe not everyone of them hv yet to visit =b......and i forgot that one of them had this conversation with me which i posted few mths ago...

Oopsy Daisy!


haha!i think she knew who i was talking about that time...and she was the last person whom i want to tell because she is really closed to this person...and to him, she knowg about this is just a VICTORY for him....~*jelingan maut to him*~...he will definitely insult me...and make me sound like the lowest of the lowest...but no, thats not gonna happen...=bbbb~~

but thinking back...~~ what was i thinking?...it just doesnt matter anymore...its just damn tiring and a waste of time..and y i even waste 2-3 minutes of my life writing a sms to a guy who care not to reply a 'friend' sms...

i get the msg...and stop hoping since then...so im officially over you...

am i still your friend then? haha!!=)

Diving....Diving....Divingg...!!

****
Long time ago, Usagi of Sailormoon used to be my role model...

*sigh* silly mee...

*****

my sis will get her diving license soon...I am sooo jealous right now...

been talking about getting one since last year (or was it last last year??) with my two friends, marie and susi...but we didnt have enough money to just go and get it, and attend the (if im not mistaken)3-days course....so we posponed it.

We have to save money in advance..another thing is all 3 of us didnt know how to swim back then...so we went and took our swimming class...8-hours class..but we didnt finished the whole class...still left 2 or 3 hours i guess...just FYI,u dont have to know how to swim in order to get your diving license...so thats fine with us...we still can get our license...u just have to know how to float, but i think thats not compulsory either...

at first it didnt excite me to get diving license, because swimming with sharks just doesnt excite me, i was scared even to snorkeled at P.Manukan years ago with LK and SG..I was expecting a smiling face shark or shark fin coming toward us...i was totally embarassing...i swam nervously real near to SG maybe almost pulling his hand...i think i have this phobia with the ocean....

Im a Cancerian for goodness sake! Im suppose to be in love with the ocean...weird eh..:(


But I saw alot of pictures taken beautifully underwater...so i decided to go for it anyway...but not yet for now...im out of job....and this is just not the right time...Besides, Marie just got married last december, and i think she is really busy with life alongside with her husband...maybe considering to move to Miri, so chances is she will get her diving license there instead and maybe tutor by her husband...hehe... while Susi...busy with her life...with work...knowing her i think she offers all her time to her career...and diving maybe not her priority right now....so i guess just me and myself alone to take the important action here...its okay...before i go i will definitely tell them and ask them whether they want to join me or not...=b...

Kimchi! Kimchi!

Just now i didnt hv any idea of what to blog, but overheard my mom's conversation with the sis in KL...So there ive got an idea...hahah

Just few days ago...my dad bought a few containers of Kimchi, if im not mistaken it cost about rm9 each...and it only last 1-2 days...and dad always buy 3-4 containers of Kimchi so it cost rm36 every time... Since my dad love it so much...he managed to get the recipe from the Kimchi seller...or maybe when u buy a Kimchi they will give the recipe...who knows...

since mom infected with red eyes..dad asked JK to make it..so i helped JK lor...when it comes to new recipe, i am excited to learn, as long as they dont force me i will always willing to do...ermm not really la...

we didnt follow the exact recipe...but it taste really good...one more thing to be proud of...
So here's the pictures...forgot to take pictures while we're in the process of making the Kimchi...=b





Now I can marry Won Bin...

AI8: Top 13


Yesterday the concert was quite impressive...all contestants was required to sing MJ song....
and Adam L....whom nailed it once again...succeed in making me more deeply madly in love...who cares with all the rumours...i love him anyway... though Simon Cowell said Megan hd made a silly choice for choosing that song ,i still think that she entertained me...and i like her... and Matt...i like him too...but i hate the fact that ppl compare him with JT, i think he should try his best not to be like JT... and Alison I...quite boring today...so no comment... the last contestant, Alexis G...

quite impressive...i like her style...hehe...dun be surprise if i wear dress as short as that...haha...i will try one day...and fulfil one of my ny resolution, 'fashion victim'...and of course i like her voice...and i dont think she oversang the song...
So If im a American, i'll probably AIVOUT - Jorge and Anoop.....I have no idea y they are still in...they are quite entertaining...but maybe this week is not their week... And for now..my fav....adam, megan, alexis, matt, alison, gokey....*subject to change* =b
the rest....no comment....

never give up yo!



.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.

Feeling suck,
stuck and helpless,
The dark side attacking from inside out,
making the day worse than u think it could be.

in spite all of that,
stand strong and proud,
without doubt,
later or maybe tomorrow,
a better day will come,
that brighter day one long for will be for real,
not just a dream nor fantasy.

no matter how difficult ,
however or whatsoever one define the misery,
never wave that flag,
sooner or later,
it will go away, washed away by the rain,
and the sun will come out,
and shine its glory light,
soon you will see yourself standing strong with real pride.

near to you...a fine frenzy

he and I had something beautiful|but so dysfunctional, it couldn't last|I loved him so but I let him go|'cause I knew he'd never love me back|such pain as this|shouldn't have to be experienced|I'm still reeling from the loss, |still a little bit delirious|near to you, I am healing|but it's taking so long|'cause though he's gone |and you are wonderful|it's hard to move on|yet, I'm better near to you.|you and I have something different|and I'm enjoying it cautiously|I'm battle scarred,|but I am working oh so hard|to get back to who I used to be....|



he's disappearing, fading steadily|well, I'm so close to being yours, |won't you stay with me, please|near to you, I am healing|but it's taking so long|'cause though he's gone|and you are wonderful|it's hard to move on|yet, I'm better near to you|I only know that |I am better where you are|I only know that |I am better where you are|I only know that I belong |where you are|near to you, I am healing|but it's taking so long|'cause though he's gone|and you are wonderful|it's hard to move on|yet, I'm better near to you|

p.s.Somehow, this song remind me of bella and jacob...=)

My HuHa of the day...

well u just have to endure this entry...bcause this is supposely an ANGRY entry from me...

I decided to write down in here...just ...because...i cannot sleep last night thinking of this...ya true...not until 5am...or slightly over 5am....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`'

a few years ago...like way way before I finished my highschool...There was this guy/boy...no...im nt telling his name...to put his name in my blog is an honour to him...well...who wants to give him credit when he doenst deserve it...nanti dia ckp...
"got someone talk abt me lehh..."
no he dun deserve that...whether its abt a good thing or bad thing...he should be ignoreeeed instead...he was one of the toxic ppl that crossed my life...and i will never forget this...no matter how small his ksalahan was towards me...

that day...when the teacher passed the biology paper to us...i got a quite OK marks...actually compared to the others my marks was quite good nt excellent of course...but u have to remember....almost all of the students got 20marks below...or was it 10marks? school just started, so the only excuse for that was...maybe they didnt prepared for the exam...


U see he never realllyyy talk to me...neither did i care...because at that time...i have a lot of friends whom i could talk to....Chinese Indian Bumiputra...alll....

of alll the time, he chose that particular day to talk to me....he saw my marks...


"wahhh!! tiruhh kaa....", with his chinese accent .


Lyk WHAT THE HELL!!! steadyyyyyyy sj dia ckp...he just de-motivate me.....I was SOOOOO DAMNNNN ANGRYYYY.....like i can kick him out of this planet earth if only he said another word....i succeed in behaving myself....

Somehow i cannot take any negative criticism that time...if that happens today...i will definitely crush his self-confidence and self-esteem...until he got none....but what can a girl do right...the only thing that i can do that time is to ignore whatever thing he said...and tried my best to delete that critic from my head....I still have fragile self-esteem and fragile self-confidence...

My imagination just ran wild last night....*i want to punch his left eye, and pinch both his nipples and kick his crouch with all the energy i have...and kick him some more....until he reach planet MARS with his 9 marks paper....owhhh pooorrrr XXX...*


And recently, heard about him and his CN-friends-ony-w-d-exception-of-non-CN-models...he claimed himself to "only dates models"....like HA!!HA!!HA!!*sarcastically*...why ohhh???? ...this must be the "beauty and the skinny-beast" case...he's soo skinnyyy....and very tall...and sooooo-nottt-cuteee.....i tell u...he's not cute...like...u dont want to walk the same path he walks...

sad girll...she shud be thankful for a great career like modelling....at least she can offer all her time to her career instead of listening to his negative remarks....


*sigh*


enough for today...i think i started to become that bitter lady already....and i hate it...

until then people...
