Idols & Me

' The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special too ' - Anonymous

There's always someone we chase after or admire in our hearts and minds.
For today, let's just shift our focus to celebrities. We often talk about how good or how handsome a celebrity is. We start to buy their albums or even buy their merchandise. But it doesn't stop there. We start to relate everything in our lives to this certain celebrity. We start hoping that one day, we'll meet him/her. We start thinking further and start thinking about how would it be like if we actually met him/her. It'll be really cool. Really. Our fantasies start getting bigger and an obsession starts. Obsessing with someone who doesn't even know you exist. Thinking how would it be like if we actually met that celebrity and fell in love. That sounded impossible, didn't it? But trust me, I'm sure this thought crossed the minds of many fans out there.

We may think that at this moment, everything seemed almost perfect. Almost. But just missing something. Wait, what, how is it possible? Shouldn't everything be perfect now? 

No. It's not perfect because we're forgotten something.

Ourselves. We've forgotten ourselves. Scroll through your camera roll. I'm sure there are more photos of your celebrity compared to photos of you. Well, at least the majority. In the midst of chasing our dreams of our celebrities, we've gotten a little lost and are currently trapped in a maze. Unless we start thinking, we'll be stuck in there unknowingly. Put away thoughts of your celebrity. And think about what you've done for yourself. Are you happy? Really? 

Answer yourself honestly. To be honest, I was once there. I was once a hardcore fan of someone. But something woke me up. This certain celebrity had started dating. You could say it was a great shock to me. No, I wasn't shocked though. I knew this day was coming. After all, after putting so much effort into someone, and this piece of news just makes you feel betrayed, doesn't it? Spending a whole day copping at home admiring this person instead of taking the time to bond with your friends. You'd feel as if your whole life had just taken a 180 degrees turn. However, at the end of the day, I couldn't possibly blame anyone but myself.

If only I had drawn a line between a fan and something else and maybe I wouldn't be that affected by the news. If I had drawn a line between a fantasy and reality, maybe none of those would have really happened. I'm still a fan though but still currently in the process of learning to draw that line :) 

So really what I want to say is that you can be a fan but do make sure that it's a healthy hobby that truly makes your life happier and does not give you mood swings and causes you to stray away from your loved ones because after all, at the end of the day, the ones waiting for you at home or helping you at work or at school are the ones whom you should truly respect and admire for they would always be there for you no matter what.

Best Of Luck :-)

The World Doesn't Go The Way I Want It To

'Everything happens for a reason.'

 

We all have something in mind. Something that we want to do. We hope we get to do what we want to just because it makes us happy. I think we all have our turns at times. What I mean is that it's not always us under the limelight all the time. But because we are too used to being under the limelight, we start to be complacent because we start taking things for granted. And when the spotlight is suddenly shining on others, you feel................... empty. You feel that you should be the one and not others. You should be the main character or role. You should be in charge. The light should be on you. That's wrong. If you're having that mindset all the time, it just simply means that you've forgotten your original motive. To do well in something. To ace the test. To be the main character of a musical. To be the indispensable one. No one is indispensable. The world doesn't stop even if someone is gone. Likewise, not everything goes our way all the time. We probably won't be able to understand why but by putting ourselves in others' shoes, we will begin to empathize with others and at the same time, we start to be aware of the fact that others too, deserve a turn. And it's not just me, me and me all the time. 

It's okay if we don't get our turn this time.

It's okay if our turn hasn't arrived yet. I won't be able to predict who's turn will come next. But trust yourself. Not anyone but yourself. Trust in whoever you believe in. Do your best. And only then, I'm pretty sure your turn's definitely only a second away! 

Best of luckk :)

Love,

The Little Things We Often Forget

'When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life.'

— John Lennor

As we grow up, just like caterpillars turning into pupa, we're often influenced by the people or things around us. Whether at work or at school. And as we develop, we start to forget the things that used to make us happy easily. I remember begging my mom the whole week just to buy me a can of sweets and having her to read a book to me before I went to bed or I wouldn't sleep. I would make sure my sister gets the blue bed sheet while I always got the pink dotted one and would have 'pillow wars' all night before we were finally exhausted and had to go to bed feeling sweaty. Though it's fun having to grow up, but at times, it gets a little tiring. When we were 5, friends would make up as soon as they started quarreling. When we were 5, we could go out without having to matter what we wore. When we were 5, nothing else really mattered because all we did was to be happy all day long.

       see that ^ ( cr : owner )

Just being happy. Now that we've grown up, we start to have desires. Desiring power and status. Wealth and Fortune. And while we're busy striving for these, we are slowly forgetting about the little child in us. As long as we're humans, we'd all miss rolling down the grass hill or having roller skate shoes that would carry us wherever we went to. It's good to learn to grow up because we all have to one day. We can't be like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell in Neverland. It never works this way. Think about the fun times you had and relieve those moments again just simply because we technically only have this life. Just one life. Instead of spending your entire lifetime seeking wealth, seek for something else that matters more than status and authority. As for me, I'm pretty sure I've found mine but it's a tiny little secret hehehehe 

What about yours? Have you found yours today? Share it with me in the comments section :) 

I'd love to hear from everyonee~

Judging.

' If I said this world was perfect, I'd probably be lying because

1. that only happens in fairy tales. 

2. Reality. '

In this world, there are over 230 countries and in each country, there will always be families that aren't as well off compared to other households. It's funny how this world works. We like pretty people so we start hating on ugly people. We judge one another based on each other's attires and languages. It's funny how we know that materials don't make a man but it's the heart that makes one yet we continue living in this judgmental way of life. It's also sad that people who are judged are unable to stand up for themselves or even oppose. They just silently accept it, not because they have to, but simply because in this world, almost everything works this way.

Are you in this situation? 

Pretty. Smart. Charismatic. Genius. Rich.

Instead of all these labels that affect the way we carry out ourselves, isn't it time to open our hearts and minds to truly look at a person? For once, look at a person but not with your eyes. Not with your minds. Not with the realistic thinking you've been using for the past 10, 20 years of your life. But simply with your heart. Look at a person with your heart and it is only then, you will be able to see how this person truly is.  

Everyone has a story to tell. 

For every story, everyone had gone through something that changed them. 

But what matters isn't that you've changed but instead, do ask yourself whether you are still carrying hope.

There's no purpose in life without hope because only hope can keep a person's spirit to continue burning without being fazed. All in all, the root of all these situations is the way we think. Give a chance to those who deserve it but can't, due to circumstances. If we could think a little deeper or even understand someone better, I think it's gonna make a whole lot of a great difference.

'No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. ' - Nelson Mandela

And with that, I'll end here.

All About Me

'We all want everything to be okay. We don't even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay because sometimes, okay is enough :) '

I wouldn't say I'll be able to solve life problems. Like honestly. However, through life's challenges that await me one by one, I secretly hope every post that I post ( wait what never mind about the repetition😂 )  might possibly heal a tainted soul but firstly, never mind about why you're here, I'm just too glad that you've visited my very first blog. And without further ado, I'll be spending a short 2 minutes ( I'm sorry my estimation sucks so if you're taking a stopwatch out, you might wanna put that back ) sharing about me.

I'm Priscilla a.k.a 'Pris' 

That's what my classmates call me although I would prefer to be known as just 'Priscilla' which simply means 'Ancient' according to the Bible. Probably another likely reason why I love History. Pure Chinese Singaporean , that's me :) 

It's amazing how I've managed to overcome the different obstacles in my life and I'm pretty much sure that there will be more ups and downs but hey , what's a life without ups and downs? 

I'm also another Korean Pop Fan you see these days ( a healthy one though ) . EXO (OH YEAH oops sorry I'm supposed to be cool and calm) 

    baekhyunnn💛 cr: see the light

*returns to calm self* and I'm totally in love with the beautiful Korea🎈 As in, everything's awesome there. The people, places and FOOOD ( I'm a food maniac don't mind me )

    DO YOU SEE THAT GOODNESS ~

And if you love beautiful sceneries, you definitely cannot miss Korea 👍 and of course, the widely known KOREAN DRAMASS😍 Rooftop Prince, Secret Garden , My Husband Got A Family .. ( My all time Favourites 💛 ) I'd also love it if you shared your favourite Korean Drama with me in the comments below hehe .. 

A beautiful life with wonderful people.

What more can I ask for? :)

That's about it YAY 

hoped you had a blast reading this and I truly appreciate every reader who takes the time to adventure with me through this post ^ Pretty please ~~ do give my blog lots of loveee 

Thank youuu
