My day started out early when I went to report for work at 6:30 this morning. I had a very nice plan laid out for the day. I imagined it to be very productive since I had lots of free time before crunch time, only to be disappointed later in the day to know that I have delayed work load again!
The mad dash at the retail store where I work was not expected, (well, forgive me for my indifference but I did not thought ahead of time.) I did not realize not until during the last minute that the end of the Ramadan was today. I could think of a lot of reasons and alibis for not doing what I should have done but my mind was preoccupied. And in the field where I am now, something like this is unforgivable.

How does things fall into place? Who decides what happens in the next minute? the next day? next week? next year?
ME? I've been sitting alone earlier this evening only to realize that we think of ideals too much that we tend to neglect what is real. Sometimes when we notice other people's wrongs we tend to become radical and pass judgment without fail. We slowly dissect the person and do our own psychoanalysis on their situations. But if we take a moment to think of whatever it was we were about to say, we will realize that we see parts of ourselves and we become defensive especially when they mirror our own emotions and situations.
Relationships can become hard work and a life long commitment. We get what we give. But how come sometimes we still feel it's unfair ? Why do we feel neglected? Perhaps, taken for granted? Indeed, Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. We are two separate worlds and there are only certain aspects where we connect. And truthfully, we disagree 90% of the time. Given that love is one of the greatest mysteries in life, we still take the risk and experience it. No one can define it or even slightly describe it. It is such a big word. It can move mountains, cross seas and can even walk a thousand miles. It can also leave you blind, hurt and broken.
I've had a few relationships. My experience may not be enough basis for any conclusion I may have regarding it but I still have hope for a happy ending. Speaking of ideals, all fairy tales seem to end with "...happily ever after." Why have no one thought of adding what happened after they got married and lived together? The prospect of having kids was not even thought of... maybe that's why it's called a tale. It only made us more idealistic and made us expect for all things to be nice & good.
Wouldn't it become surreal then?
