I have gone through some happiness and sadness the past month/weeks/days (whatever!). But this cannot stop me from enjoying life.
I was so sick during the long weekend holidays, had my heart broken but not much so don't worry about it. I got the time last month to enjoy a day with my girl friends on a cruise to Oman. And tomorrow, my second time to go for Desert Safari Once again, I'll be able to hop on the camel, dune bashing, get a henna tattoo and just have some fun with my girl friends.
Even though I get so busy at work these days and will soon be very soon at work, I still get the time to enjoy life. Hope everyone's enjoying too! No work tomorrow for us, yay!

Wow, that's great to hear. That's the spirit. Even though we encounter sadness, break ups, etc. we should still enjoy our lives. We have to move on and enjoy it to the fullest. We only live once so live happily. I also want to get a henna tattoo. Have fun tomorrow!

Hi angel,
Yes that's what we should do instead of crying and get depressed over something. Although that will always depend on the heaviness of the load we're carrying Mine may not have affected me much that is why I easily find the way to find happiness this time.
Thanks for the response and we'll surely have fun tomorrow. Go and get your henna too

Hi EN... Sorry to read about the heart-break and illness... I'm glad though that you've begun to enjoy life again.... The come back sounds very quick and happy.. I always have admired people who come out of the sad part quickly... Personally, it is always difficult for me to come out of such bad moments... Keep it up, my friend... God bless you...

You know EN the good thing is, you've the courage to get out of it... And you have gotten better... Thats the hardest one for me. I'll tell you one remedy to heart break... Exercise! I get into gruelling work outs when I am depressed... It keeps my mind active and tires out my body... Which eventually leads to nice sleep with lesser worries... :-)
You're a girl, so 'gruelling' is not what you'd want... But you can go for jogging and other things...
Take care Missy... Keep writing here... :-)

Exercise maybe a bit but I'm too lazy to do that. No jogging for me as I don't wanna lose weight. I'm already thin now and will need to gain weight a bit more. What I usually do now is watching movies with my mates and going out. Talking with friends about love somehow makes me realize things, sometimes it brings sadness but at times too it brings courage to still continue with my life and never losing hope that one day true love will come my way

Hi mr_pearl,
It is not that I have easily came out of the sad part. I still feel sad at times. But there's more happiness and acceptance. And I guess once you have had experience a heart break you already know the limits and how to handle another break up. And I guess that is one thing, why I have recovered a bit quick. The illness part is okay too.. although it was not a very good thing to experience I hate being sick and my long-holiday has been ruined. Good part is that I don't need to take a sick leave since it is a holiday. But I have to leave fr work early sometimes for some check up... But thank goodness every thing is better now. Thanks and God bless you too.

Hi yudhyhg,
I agree with you. It is still better to have plans in our life while not forgetting that we need sometime to enjoy too. We shouldn't live our lives to work only, we need to relax too, have fun and just enjoy every moment in our life.
We won't know when it's time God will take away our borrowed life. Indeed, life is short... as short as we can imagine. So better enjoy life while working to get our goals in life.

hi fransmonlot,
that's so true life can really be a downer, every now and then we can feel it. We just gotta have some friends or family with us to help us look at life in a more positive way and make it an enjoyable one to live.
yes I loved the vacation I had and is looking forward for more, if there are more a roadtrip to another state and a movie last Saturday completed those events.

I glad to see other people out there that are not always uptight and afraid to change things up every once in a while, like most of society nowadays. People spend so much time preparing for the future when they don't even know if they will reach it. Society and humanity overall would be happier if people just took just a little time to enjoy the moment they are in now and not always stressing about something they can't be promised. Keep life exciting and enjoy the little things! Have fun and be sure to share your experience with the lotters! =]

Hi zstang,
First of all, welcome to myLot. I do hope you are enjoying it here
That is true we people tend to prepare so much for the future, and even stress ourselves on what we want our life to be. I think there is nothing wrong with that even when we do not reach that goal. But let us not also forget to give ourselves a break and seize every moment we have while we are alive. Because we never will know when is the last day of our life. So we must enjoy it.

Hi writethem,
Thanks! Yes it is a good thing to be positive when things didn't go our way. Sometimes it depends on the level of troubles we face. But still, I guess to break the depression, we need to find time to enjoy life.

Hi!
Your spirit is commendable and appreciable. Keep it up.
We all have our ups and downs but we succeed only when, when we could keep our spirits high and could enjoy the moments and events coming our way.
Hope you had a nice time when you went on Cruise and dessert safari.
I have neither attempted either of the two.
Hope now you would have come out of your troubles.
All the best.

If you could control yourself, it is fine.
I have noted your suggestion regarding going on cruise and safari.
Does not one feel scared when camel moves in an even gait?
@enelym001 (8322)

When the camel walks it is just okay, but when it stands up or sits down while you are sitting on its back, it is a bit scary as you might fell off its back.

hi dpk,
Thanks! Yes that is true, most of the time we get ourselves back on track if there were good events coming our way. If we just sulk and sit alone, I guess it would take long before we get back up again. I can't say that I am very much okay but what I am doing is, trying to be okay and forget whatever it is that's causing me sadness. I should let any thing affect my mood.
You must try to go on cruise and safari, it's so much fun!

I am glad to know that you live positively without getting influenced by whatever unpleasant things that happen to you. This is the way that a happy life comes to us. I wish you to always live your life to the full. Enjoy yourself as always, enelym.

Hi williamjisir,
I usually feel down whenever unpleasant circumstances comes my way. I actually have been down. But I am trying to be strong. What I put in my mind now are all positivity. I have shed tears with some painful things and events but I don’t think I should dwell on it much. I have a life to live, family that loves me, friends that cares for me. So I shouldn’t worry much.

Hi JamesKYTan,
I guess it's the best times of my life. And I do hope that despite some problems that comes my way, I would still continue living a happy life. To be with good and happy people helps a lot rather than be with someone who makes you feel sad. I feel blessed that right now I am in a better situation that's why I'm enjoying life and feels like God is keeping me away from troubles. I love God!
God bless you too

hi godmom
You had been sick and ill and I had no clue about it I will be more careful and watchful. In fact I noticed you missing from this place but then, why should I start thinking the negatives for my dear godmom! But this didnt go right somewhere. I should have PMed you at least.
for the discussion, you seem to be having some great time with friends tomorrow. Great. I hope you would take some great pics and upload them somewhere... maybe on your blog or even the MyLot or elsewhere... just need a link to see them...
btw... why did you keep mentioning GIRL friends on the discussion is a mystery!
Here, India is already in festive mood, as we are celebrating Diwali.

Hi godson
Thanks godson but there is really nothing much to worry about. I am well and okay now. I wanted to share that experience here being ill for almost a week but then I thought it has passed already and I'm feeling good now, so I did not.
We'll leave in the afternoon so I am still here and trying to respond on some comments. Hmmm I have to see where I can upload it and put a link. I am not sure if you have facebook but most of our photos are there. Maybe I'll try to put a link there for you to see and put some here
Girl friends because all my three friends/roommates are girls
Belated Happy Diwali godson, I got the ecard you sent. :)

If it's a near end one means you can still use it Let me know if you want to see all photos.
But I was also thinking of uploading at least one here. It's just that I can't do it now since I'm in the office and they might think I'm not doing my work
Thanks godson, I am feeling better 'though still trying to observe my gums careful for it not to have any infection else I'll be having high fever and chills again. Don't want that anymore.
One more holiday is coming up end of the month til 2nd day of December and I wonder if we will have any activities.

I think it is always good to enjoy live whenever we can and to be happy. I think you must be having a nice vacation. It is always great to get a break after long working hours and enjoying life. I am also looking forward for vacation some day in the future and to spend some time visiting places.

Hi ajithlal,
Sure it's so much fun having a really nice vacation. Especially with friends. It is very relaxing and can actually take your mind off from troubles you're facing in life. It helps to have such vacation.
I would wish that you'd be able to do the same.

Hi MandaLee,
I agree with you, each day there are things for us to celebrate even when we experience sadness or grief. I am so excited for our Safari later... and if I may add we are also going for a camping out of town later after safari, which has just been confirmed that we're going there! Yay! Im so excited.

Nice to hear that you are enjoying life in far away land my dear
I am worried about you and thought you are sick since you are not around for many days.
Your absence is too obvious- but now I am happy to see you around (at least that gives me a little peace)
Take care always...and please don't keep breaking your heart

Hi jai
Sorry it took time for me to reply
You are right, I was sick for a week. Thank goodness it fell on a long-holiday. But I wasn't able to enjoy that holiday since I was just in the bed, having chills and fever and aching tooth and gums with infection. With the nonstop chills/shivering even when it is hot in the room, I had thought I'm gonna die Thank goodness they heard me as I was shivering and felt my bed's shaking so strangely.
The breaking heart part is okay lol. It did not brought me much pain although there's a bit.

Honestly, I cannot enjoy my life as it should be. Because I have strict parents. Util now. they still don't allow me to have fun at my classmate's or friend's house at this point of my life. :)

Hi there toxic_lifestyle,
I can understand why you're parents are strict with you. You're a girl (prolly the only daughter or girl in the family), still young and studying. My parents are strict to me when I was that age and even til now when I am staying with them. I am free now because I am living and working far from them. But if I am living with them, no matter what age I am, if they don't know who I am with they won't allow me going anywhere especially if it's with guys.
By the time you are working and a bit older, I am sure they will loosen up and not too strict on you.

If that would be the things am getting after being broken hearted , i can say it's worth it and i prefer to have that break up again so to experience touring beautiful places around the world.... Lol ! Seriously , you deserved that break ! That's a girl power , can't be shaken with any break ups ! Dusting herself , enjoying life , break ups will never overthrow her beautiful outlook in life. Proud of you lady ! Sail on...

Hi Angelpink,
Lol! that's funny but I would never want to have a break up again just for this But you know it is very timely that there are so much activities these days. The other night we get to go dinner outside and drink in a bar with my friends. So busy that I think the guy would think I am not sad over what happened. I felt guilty but then what should I do, I need these things to move on. and I do hope we ladies can do this. Well it's not fun not having someone around to love, but in time we will find that someone who won't give up on us and we are not willing to give them up too.
