the sweetest words spoken.. the promise of a man

My girlfriend from my band of 'sisters from different parents' is getting married soon.. in 2 weeks time to be precise and boy was she stressed up trying to create her perfect wedding..

We met up for dinner last week and she divulged that she was so stressed over the wedding that she was having constant headaches and blurry visions. When she couldn't take it anymore, she went to see her GP and the first thing the GP asked is whether is she under a lot of stress? She told him that her wedding is coming soon and immediately the GP laughed and asked her: "Why get so stress over your wedding? You should be enjoying it!"

When she told her hubby to be about her stress and what the doctor said, he was so worried and that's the first time he realised how stressful my friend was over the wedding. and... he said the sweetest thing ever to her... "Dear... why get so stressed over the wedding? it's just a ceremony, a celebration.. the most important thing is after that day, we will be married and you are my wife. Everything else is secondary." Sometimes words do work like magic.. instantly my friend felt all pressure off her and she wondered why has she caused all these unnecessary self inflicted stress?

I am glad that my pal is entering the next stage of her life and wish her a blissful marriage forever and ever :)

Xoxo,
Mabel

Bangkok!

I'm finally going on a holiday this year! What a vast difference this year is compared to last year. I've become domesticated. HAHA. Wonder who can do that to me... well, only that one special person... Anyways, I'm going Bangkok with my DB peeps and I'm getting excited! It was an impromptu kinda holiday as Bangkok is not in my list of to go place. I had a bad experience the last time I was there and didn't get what the hype is about. But then again, it could probably be the companion I went with and the agenda the other time. It was more work then fun. I can't wait to get on that flight and fly away... hopefully I'll come back refreshed! xoxo, Mabel

That indescribable feeling

I was pondering to myself why people say that when you love someone, you couldn't give a reason why you love him/her. If you could give a reason, it just goes to show that you love those qualities in that person, not the person. In the past, I am a firm believer of the latter. That love has no reasons. When reflecting on my own relationship, I was thinking to myself whether is it really true. That love has no reasons. The romantic side of my thinks it's true, while the pragmatic side says otherwise. Here's what I have concluded. I love that my man is dependable, easy going, good natured, positive in attitude and outlook in life, stable. Basically the rock in my life (there's no need for any other rock, seriously). But hey... Lots of men possess the qualities stated above. But none is able to capture my heart like how he did. THAT is the reason I cannot find words to explain. THAT is why I am drawn to him and not any other guys that possesses the same qualities...

15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy

[Quoted from http://www.purposefairy.com/ ] Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go: 1. Give up your need to always be right. There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make?...
