Freedom and beliefs

"no one should ever tell you who and what you can and cannot do..

you decide, you determine your own destiny..and you are the only one who can make your dreams come true..
think about it...isn't life beautiful.."

- LSUNARJO - blogger

I can't not agree with this. If you believe in yourself, nothing is ever impossible. Ain't life beautiful? indeed.

Loving oneself

As much as I consider, as much much I consider
I am still I

As much as I erase, as much as I erase
I am still I

As much as I resent, as much as I resent
I am still I

Before I began looking hard at myself
Certainly love and you all are already there

- Domoto Tsuyoshi - Artist

Sometimes it was hard to look at myself and say that I love the one that I see. Sometimes I loathe her that I see on the mirror. Sometimes it's hard to reconcile with my own minds and stop the war inside of my head. At those times, I reminded myself over and over again, there's someone who accept me for what I am. And for that I have to try to love myself again.

If you can't love yourself, you can't love others

Because Aizen is God (or so he thinks).

"All creatures want to believe in something bigger than themselves. They cannot live without blind obedience. And to escape the pressure of that trust, those in whom faith is placed in turn look for someone higher than themselves. And then people in turn look for someone even stronger. That is how all kings are born. That is how all gods are born."

-- Aizen Sousuke - Bleach

I know it's another of Aizen's God-speech, but for this one, I couldn't help but to agree.

finally standing...

"Gotta look myself in the eye, and say it’s gonna be alright
Maybe everything won’t be alright, all the time
I’ve gotta take these chances where they are,
it’s gonna be alright
I’ve gotta see things for what they are, at the time"

- 'Open Arms' - Gary Go

To be drown into a situation, it's really hard to resurface. But then keep on trying and try to look at the whole picture. Things will come to senses and then you can finally see your own goal.

It's great to be floating again

Embracing what lies ahead

"Even if it means to take a longer path, let’s walk your own path."

- Akanishi Jin, Artist

I think everyone has their own way to do things, even if their aim is the same. So take your time and walk your own path, but remember you are never alone.

Run.

"Instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you've got and fix it as you go."

-- It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want to Be - Paul Arden

Something I've been learning too do. It's probably been too long. I'm not a quick learner for this.

Hatred

"sometimes, one should just stop thinking so much"

- aQuatix

The more you think about it, the more you become to detest it, the more you ruin the good person in you. And then you found yourself drowning in the hatred that you can't escape from it anymore, and thus you found yourself with a hand full of blood, which was not your own. You become forever guilty.

Because he regard it a medicine of sort

"ここは閉ざされていると思えば牢になり、出たくないと思えば城になる。"

-- 薬売り - モノノ怪*

"If you think that you are being confined here, it shall be a prison. If you don't wish to get out of here, it shall be a castle."

Your mind can kill you. So said the Medicine Seller. So said my mind.

another victim of the Medicine Seller

*The kanji reads "Kusuriuri - Mononoke". Kusuriuri refers to the medicine seller and Mononoke is the name of the anime, which usually means ghosts or spirits. It is usually written 物の怪; which uses the kanji for "being" and "mysterious or strange" respectively, but in this case it is written using katakana, leaving only the last word in kanji.

Chocolate

"With chocolate, life is beautiful"

- 'Dapur Coklat', Advertising board

My sinful addiction. I have to admit though, that is so very true to me.

叶えた夢の数を数えよう　叶わない夢は誰かがきっとどこかで・・・

-- 夢番地* - RADWIMPS

"Let's count our dreams that have been granted. For dreams yet to be granted, somebody somewhere surely..."

Perhaps we do take things for granted a little too often.

aQx

*The kanji reads "Yume Banchi", meaning "Dream Address"

conquering my own ego...

"when it's impossible to do so alone, you borrow someone's strength"

- 'Cut' - Kawaii Touko

Not everything you can handle by yourself. In the unexpected moment of need, there will be somebody that will offer you a hand.

Thank you

FAQ

Is anybody actually interested in reading this? What is there to ask about anyway? *looks around*

...okay. In case you're wondering. Or just too bored.

1. What is this blog all about?
Kindly read the About section. :)

2. Why is this blog created?
Once upon a time, there were two individuals who found out that both of them have a habit of collecting strings of words they call quotes. And they thought it was a good idea to pool these quotes in one place so that they could look at them again when they feel like it. And so that they could share to anyone who stumbles upon this corner too (besides themselves, of course).

3. Where on earth do these quotes come from?
Under our beds. No, seriously. Okay, they are from under our beds, a corner of our book shelves, random songs from a friend's playlist, the tagline of an advertisement on a street, ...you get the point. The list may grow when we find newer sources. :D

4. What else could be found on this blog?
Frankly speaking, nothing much besides random errors and our occasional nonsense about these things and the likes. If anyone think that this space could be improved in anyway, please do not hesitate to speak up. :3

About

We would really like to elaborate more about this site, but really, it is obvious enough. A modest dumping site for quotes, be it inspirational or downright ludicrous. The two ridiculously bored and free contributors to this site just happened to find certain combination of words a little too interesting to be left uncelebrated. And since at this age, things have started to go virtual, and notebooks are getting too messy with receipts from here and there (one of us really does that!) and starting to occupy too much of a desk and shelf space, may the cyberspace take good care of these pretties.

Regarding the no-so-creative naming sense used for this blog, blame two days worth of lack of quality sleep. Not really. It's just that one of us has been through a state of sticky notes obsession (and the traces could still be observed even now) because it's a fun way to get a short message across. And it's brightly coloured and universal enough for everybody to use. And it's just the right size to contain these quotes or silly thoughts about random objects. Too bad sticky notes are part of a certain category of objects called office appliances. And offices are too restricting for how far these quotes could reach. So up we go to the rooftop of these offices where we couldn't care less about the rest of the world (and the office, or school in some cases, as long as you don't go missing for too long) for a good few moments and engage with your whimsical musings. And the moment all of these collide, all we could see are rooftops on a corkboard.

...actually, we still use our crumpled notebooks anyway.
