...do u know that you're blessed?...

Thanks to the double dose of caffeine that I'm still awake at this most ungodly hour, 3.am!
Anyways...guess I won't be sleeping for the rest of the night.My aunt's in my room sleeping and probably wondering why am I still awake at this time while my cousin and her fiance's downstairs watching France vs. Brazil! Go BRAZIL! whatever! Not my cuppa tea so I don't really care..

Was talking to a friend a couple of minutes ago bout his life and how to actually deal with it. Problems bout job, life,relationships,friendships...whatever ships there are...Well you know what? whatever it is...face it...this is life..deal with it! I tell myself that too especially those moments when you think no one cares bout you and whatever that you're doing..be it good deeds or bad. I know it sucks..but all these little 'crappy' things actually make you a stronger person in life and handling your probbies. It ain;t easy being someone perfect...because you will NEVER be!People have flaws..you just learn as you grow up...then you'll grow out of it.
I've heard complains from many people especially about jobs and such. Depressed over work,politics at school and in the workplace...complain that their jobs ain;t payin` well..complain that the job they have sucks big time and being wantin` to change jobs..yadee yadeee yada...
ALL THAT FREAKIN` CRAPPY complains (which no doubt I do too)...BUT...have you ever thought how blessed you are? Why do people always relate their lives to the negative sides..Why not just sit back and think of how blessed and fortunate you are...for even having a job...a family....friends that care...and even if they don't..just be happy to know that they've once came across your life...and that has left a mark...now, thats the difference..cos u only live once...get me? got me? GOOD! O well..Sean was showing me this picture of construction workers that were working on some high railings by his office a couple of days ago. I thought it was rather scary though he thought it was rather hillarious, cos he said that what if the rails were to break..these guys might just fall off the cliff. I reckon...and thats what I think its a pretty risky job to handle. See? People risk their lives to work and get paid..who knows..its even lesser than what you're being paid! And..what do you do? Sit in the office, shake legs, answer telephone calls and such...and get paid like a trillion a month. Do you think u deserve it? or would you call that a blessing? It certainly is a blessing...So stop complaining, aite?

Kaz, myself,Janelle and her cousin were at an old folk's home today. It was the first time visiting an old folk's home for Kaz and I. It's totally not a regret goin there..thanks to Janelle.As soon as we walked in to the building, I looked around and saw these old folks that reminded me of my grandma of age 94.These old folks looked as though they were so skinny,weak and lifeless..trust me..I felt for them..Some do not even have family members visiting them in years..some are blind...some can't even walk or talk...and if you think they've been treated well by the nurses...well guess what? hell no! The nurses were such bitches..Sorry to say but a fact is a fact! They beat the old folks up, they feed the old folks like as though they were trying to choke the crap outta them. Whats all these man? Whats this freaking society coming to? Probably they are underpaid nurses or something..I don't know but all I know is what they are doin'now is just so wrong!Anyways..U gotta see to believe it. The old people were such sweethearts...how could they even afford to be treated like that?! Damn it!You nurses are gonna bite ur own dust!
What I am trying to say is...appreciate your parents. Please...for goodness' sake...DONT' send them to places like that when they are old. It does take effort to take care of them but you know what? It's all worthwhile!Think of the time and effort your mom has to take to bring u up even in her womb...seeing you grow from day to day..hoping for the very best just for YOU...and looking and smiling at you each time they pick you up in their arms hoping that very day will come when you're able to call them..mommy and daddy....look at how much love they've shown in the past years that makes you who you are today! Again, see how blessed you are? Would you want to be thrown into a 'lion's den' as such when you grow old? I wouldn't want to, to be frank! It just sucks when you know that no one cares no more...
Bottomline...I'm just tryin to say...appreciate what you have now especially your parents(some may be of a single-parental family) but it's ok...at least there's some there to love and care about you...job wise...your blessing is that YOU HAVE A JOB!( i dont even have one) but still...I know that God has HIS plans...and HE will never fail me! :)
When you're feeling your worst, know that there's someone out there that is feeling 200 times worse than you, but they still survive through no matter what..If they are capable, why not you? Think 'bout it... YOU ARE SOOOO BLESSEDDD!!
