Garfield

I was reading my archives, especially the first few months of blogging, when I chanced upon this...

A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever

Yes, it was about the present I got for my 19th birthday!! GARFIELD!!! Really miss him lah... he's been resting in a plastic bag at Marsiling for the last 4 years. And I think I can count how many times I hugged him since he was given to me! Sitting there doing nothing, no wonder he's growing FAT!! hahaha.. Just to have an idea how big my little cat is, here's a couple of pictures taken from the aforementioned update.

Sleeping on my bed


Trying to slim down using the power rider (but to no avail ^_^)

Imagine how my friends brought him to school to surprise me.... Now imagine how I had to bring him home in a crowded MRT and later, the feeder bus! Boy oh boy, it's one day I would never forget! heh

Anyway, I was browsing through keeptouch earlier when I came upon this very moving video. Not sure when it was aired, but today was the first time I see this. It's a commercial by Pantene in Thailand. (You might want to pause this blog's background music at the sidebar beneath the 'Now playing' thingy to listen to the music in the video)

Very touching right? I think the Canon in D music fits perfectly in the video. The advertisement aside, I feel the content was rather meaningful too. It really shows the determination and perseverance the girl had in pursuing her dreams despite her obstacles in life. It is this kind of moment that makes us sometimes pause for a while and think, if someone who has had serious challenges in their life and still managed to reach their dreams, why can't we, who are fit and able, do the same thing? Like what I chatted with a friend some time ago, sometimes we get too caught up with our worries and problems that we tend to forget how more fortunate we are as compared to other people, such as those who are struggling even to live every day because of various difficulties. Fortunately though, with this kind of videos, and valuable friends around, I get constantly reminded to be grateful for what I already have.

So to my dear readers (if any), and to myself, life is too short to be constantly angry or sad about the little things in our life. Whatever you want to do, do it as there are only so many tomorrows. As they say, every morning when we wake up, we have two simple choices. Either go back to sleep and continue to dream, or wake up and chase those dreams! Stay positive! Pursue your dreams! Live every single day to the fullest and life will be much more meaningful.

Have a great week ahead! =)
