The Journal

Ilustration (taken from www.globalhealthhub.org )

After watched "Girls" the scene when a couple wanna breakup "just" (can I say "just" ?)
because the man read a journal.
Seriuosly...how you can easily breakup "just" because a journal? (-___-)


I don't how many people have a (the) journal(s) in their lives.
I have few but sometimes I forgot I have them:))
Sometimes I just don't know what the different between diary and journal.
I use those things for the exact same thing: TO WRITE
 *yeaaahh, of course*

This is the definition of journal (oxford dictionary):

noun

  • 1a newspaper or magazine that deals with a particular subject or professional activity:medical journals [in names]:the Wall Street Journal
  • 2a daily record of news and events of a personal nature; a diary: while abroad he had kept a journal
  • Nautical a logbook.
  • (the Journals) a record of the daily proceedings in the Houses of Parliament.
  • (in bookkeeping) a daily record of business transactions with a statement of the accounts to which each is to be debited and credited.
  • 3the part of a shaft or axle that rests on bearings.

So,  journal and diary are equal.
I use it to write my short stories (fiction of course) you never knew when your inspiration come.
Cause they come and go as their like.
but I don't (never) use it to write my private or dialy live in it.

One thing for sure:
Do not believe of what you read in the journal.
Not every one use it wo write down their daily lives.
Do not take it too seriously.
I might be not the only one who write down the short stories in the journal.

“Always carry a notebook. And I mean always. The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper you can lose an idea for ever.”

Things We Should Learn From The Carrie Diares (Season 1)

The Carrie Diaries


Everybody knows "Sex  and the City"  so do I.
I looove it alot!!
Not the "sex" part but I love every wardrobe in every episode, totally FLAWLESS!
And the best part is the quotes: the prologue and the epilogue.
One of the great Candace Bushnell I love..
 but after Sex and the City has reached their very last episode come the great prequel of it
"The Carrie Diaries". The first time I found out this prequel I can't wait to watch it.
especially it has the 1984 as their setting.
can' t wait to see the wardrobe. I love Patricia Field's work at the series.

The next best thing I love about The Carrie Diaries is we can learn many things from it:
1. Sometimes something good happen after bad things happen
Remember the early episode of  The Carrie Diaries when her mom died?
She's very sad.Luckly she has her best friends around her.
Few days after the bad news,her dad come to school to offer her the internship job
at a law firm in Manhattan.
A great opportunity for a high school students.

2. Let's turn something awful into something great
Remember when Gorrit ruin their mother bag?
That cute bag turn into something awful.
If I'm on that situation maybe I won't wear it but thank God Carrie doesn't did that.
She turn that awful bag into something great.
As great as piece of art.
And with  that piece of art,Carrie has the opportunity to work as an intern in "Interview Magazine"
conclusion:  We can make great things in our lives if we want to

 3.Women always waiting for the great momen to say " I Love You"
To say I love you is a hard thing to do for a women.
Yes, Carrie Bradshaw proof it.
I remember the scene when Carrie and Sebastian played monopoly
"I love you, Carrie Bradshaw"
"I wanna have sex with you" <-- that what Carrie said.

She knew that it's a mistake and she should say "I love you too" but she just waiting for the perfect moment.
That's women..that's us
we always wait for the perfect moment to say I love you.
We want everything was so perfect.
We just overthinking it.
Trust me, when we (women) say I love you is a huge thing.
So, men..please value us

What makes human, human?

www.mutualresponsibility.org

What makes us human, human?
I think about it all times.
And maybe some of us did this too.
The anwer it depends on the things that we've been through.

Mr. Deepak Chopra said "What makes us human is that we think about the Gods and they think about us"
Well, I'm not as wise as Mr.  Deepak Chopra so I have my own opinion about it.


 What makes human, human?

The upside down that we've been through makes us human:
every tears drop (for better or worse);
every sadness;
every happiness;
every broken heart;
everytime you fall in love;
everytime you down;
everytime you get up after you down;
everytime you upset;
everytime you get mad;
everytime you weak;
everytime you strong;
everytime you wanna give up;
everytime you success;
everytime you failed;
eveytime you dissapointed

what ever you feel,
what ever happen in your life, THAT'S WHAT MAKES US HUMAN.
Just enjoy the tears and laughs,
enjoy the every second in your life
And don't ever try to be perfect (cause no human is perfect)
just try to be better everyday
