Life can be beautiful.

No matter what happen in life, life can be beautiful as long as you know how to face it and spend it wisely. =D here's a sweet and touching story to share, enjoy =)

The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23. The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US . Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication. In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.
In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.
An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well. The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.
Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube , listening to a song from her husband and friends
At the reception, katie had to take a few rests. The pain did not allow her to stand for long periods.

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts . We should stop making our lives complicated.


Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

so, Keep Smiling! =)

Thinking!




I've been thinking a lot a lot for the past few days. I've got no idea why too.I guess its because I've been through pretty much things all these while. Many many thoughts run through my mind while lying on the bed. I have a happy family and a nice house to live in yet I am still complaining so much, I am healthy & happy yet I dont treasure them well enough, I have so many nice friends around me yet i tend to doubt who is really true to me. Sometimes I wonder.. who is the true me? Quoted from the song reflection: Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection Someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?
I have talked bad about people and I've no doubt that there are people out there talking bad about me too. But I cant be much bothered about it cause not everyone is perfect anyway.Life's like that I guess.. we're always criticizing people but we tend to forget we are not perfect too. It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.

Time's really passing fast, really fast. Sometimes it will be great if things just slow down a little.. just a tiny winy bit. give me a little more time to treasure the things around me, a little more time to to enjoy those happy moments. Just a little more time will make a difference though I know this is never ever gonna be possible. Good thing thats an invention called camera. was browsing thru all my pics just now. indeed I have an awesome childhood and I really dont mind starting all over again =D all those wonderful times i had.. once past and its gone FOREVER. even if I am back at that very same place again, things will just be different. I have learnt to treasure whatever I have now and will continue to do so. Since happiness are always short-lived, I will make full use of it.

Oh wells, I am really tired already. I am gonna stop blogging now =D

What is your True Fear?
Your Result: Losing Someone

You love affection and the people in your life more than anything. Your greatest fear is that one day someone you care about won't be there anymore. You are a very friendly and inviting person, who draws in a lot of friendships with your kind, considerate, and loyal nature. However, deep down you are slightly insecure and unsure of yourself. You couldn't deal with it if you didn't have one of your loved ones in your life anymore. You don't have too much to worry about though, because with a friend like you, no one will want to lose you either!
