August 9th, 2009Just smile and look happy
I don’t want to go into the details but for a while now I’ve been telling myself to smile and look happy. It’s not that I want to fool people into thinking that I’m happy but it’s more like I’m trying to convince myself that I am happy.
Did I do the right thing? Am I in the right place? Should I … ? Maybe… ?
There are too many questions and no answers. I don’t want to talk to anyone about all these. This is my fight.
Sometimes I feel like laughing at myself, laugh at how stupid I’ve been and how pathetic I am to let myself be overwhelmed by setbacks.
I look forward to seeing a stronger me.
Yes, I will be stronger.
Yes, I will stop feeling lost.
I will overcome this and that… I will overcome everything.
I will bounce back.
Whatever it takes.

On a happier note..
2 things which cheered me up or which made me smile yesterday:
1. Irwin gave me a link to a video of Don’t worry be happy by Bobby Mcferrin after he saw my facebook status.
2. Someone said this in an email “….funny, you’re writing me from the future 
…”
(Different time zones. It was already the 8th in Singapore but it was still the 7th in his country. )
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
mid-life crisis already!?!
don’t worry be happy, eh? life too short not to be happy…
i think i should follow this motto
even if sometimes its hard to try to show that we are happy when we are not. 
Bon courage to you

Good luck in your fight. Keep on smiling and keep on seeing the positive sides of things. There is never an absolute right or wrong…
when you feel down Aline, just lie on your bed and
if you have a mirror look at yourself, and you will see that a
frown is just a smile turned upside down ! – lol
I know that feeling too. I always ask myself a lot of questions but I never seem to have the answers. Sometimes I tell myself that I think way too much and I should just live in the flow of life hoping to have some answers along the way.
I won’t write individual replies this time but I just want to say..
Thank you.
