At the left is my latest printing done. It was painted outdoors from the backyard of one of my ex school mates. The weather was rather cold that day and the sea breeze sent heavy shivers down me. However, the lighting and view were just too alluring for me to persist on to complete the draw in more than half a day. It was not my best painting though. The strong wind made the painting stand and easel shaky... some of the brush strokes were rather out.
There is a quote by Norman Vincent Peale, a preacher and teacher of positive thinking, "Change your thoughts and you change your world."
I’m told that in the world of energy, nothing is ever destroyed. That energy can’t be destroyed, it simply changes form. That means the energy that we are seeking for is already somewhere waiting for us to find it.
So it means we are what we thought of. Things and states around me what all the outcomes of my thoughts accumulated and formed over my living years. It's a simple concept, however, how many people really understand. They just blame people around them for their plights, not knowing, a simple switch in mentality is what they all need.
A lot of us are afraid to find out who we really are. Unless we can overcome this barrier of own soul searching, we will never experience the chance of being ourselves totally, without the attached stigma some others have given to us.
The truth can’t be found by going to some church, psychiatrist or any other guru. The real truth has to be found within yourself, when you start from there you might start to discover the truth.
Remember this. To be a truthfully happy person, your actions must complements your thoughts and belief. We came into this world with a very own journey of ours to discover. This life journey is ours and nobody else. We decide for ourself what we want and not for others to decide.
In conclusion, if you are to please, you please yourself and not somebody else. So, be true to yourself! It is only when you are true to yourself, will happiness be found. However, right and wrong are divided by a thin line. Do listen to what God has to tell you all the time.
Marie Callas says that in May 2007, I may experience love or new encounter. As much as I have faith in Marie's readings, at this moment, I really can't see anything flourishing in that area because there is no man who makes me notice him for longer. Well, maybe time will change that. I remain hopeful and optimistic but I am not worried about that as I still miss my hubby some how. Marie Callas teachings has soothed my emotions to be better in the last 8 months or so. I'm grateful Maria got me out of depression. Marie also predicts my auspicious days are every Tuesday and Thursday between 6.30 and 10.30pm. So how am I going to interpret that?
When I was in university, I fell in love with a guy who didn’t like people smoking. He was quite a weirdo, a guy doing arts, but he had that attraction to me.
I smoked then, and as a result, I did my best to quit it. It was tough and I never ever thought I'd do it for someone else. When I saw people smoking, I thought of him, and I know that I’m still keeping a simple promise that I made to myself long ago… and it feels good and I have succeeded in quiting it.
I spent the last few days time working on this picture and finally I completed it early last night. Beaches are my favourite and I like to paint them whenever I feel like.
