New Friends & Old Friends.

Make new friends , but keep the old ;
Those are silver , these are gold.
New-made friendships , like new wine ,
Age will mellow and refine.

Friendships that have stood the test -
Time and change - are surely best ;
Brow may wrinkle , hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.

For 'mid old friends , tried and true ,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends , alas ! may die ,
New friends must their place supply.

Cherish friendship in your breast -
New is good , but old is best ;
Make new friends , but keep the old ;
Those are silver , these are gold.

This short friendship poem was written by Joseph Parry , (1841-1903).
His words in this inspirational poem regarding friendships still hold true today.
Throughout our life we are constantly meeting new people.
Some remain acquaintances , some become friends.
But , with our old friends we sometimes lose touch with them , due to a move , change of job , marriage , children , the list goes on and on.
Mr. Parry's point on silver and gold as they refer to friendships are well written.
No matter how many people we meet , old friends are still those who know you better.
Some , might be those who understands you most , just like no other.
Our old friends are like gold. And our new friends are silver.
Remember , to treat our old friends like gold although people come and go in our lives.

It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

2011 !

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ♥

2010 gave me so much of everything , and i am thankful for love , my family , my camera.

and in 2011 , a brand new year , i plan to spend it with much more vigor and love and happiness - real happiness , the one straight from the center of my soul , streaming out to those around me , who love me and are loved by me.
i will , too , keep my camera around my neck to capture the moments i want to keep forever , never fading from mind or memory. this new , budding passion of mine is starting to live in me and i am living for it.

i generally don't believe in new year resolutions , but for this year , my resolution is to do something that is inevitable in everyone's growing up ; to grow into the person i will and want to be. i don't know the how's yet but i soon will. (:

and again , happy happy new year 2011! may our awesomeness be (always) overwhelming and may the happiness in our hearts be long-lasting. and of course , i thank the King of the Universe for enabling all of us to be here until this day. (:


"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful , and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope , somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
-Neil Gaiman

Dreams.

I believe every one has their own dreams , their own hopes in life.
Some people have big dreams , some with tiny dreams or some , without dreams.
Dreams are most likely to be remained a fairytale , like it'll never come true.
However , some aren't just fairytales. Dreams do come true.
It is in your hands to decide whether it'll come true or not.
Like I always said , this is your life , you decide everything in your life.
Every little thing you do, leads to another big thing.
Dreams are supposed to be chased ! Not to be dreamed. You get me ?
You want to be a Top Model ? Go for it !
You want to be a Top Designer ? Go for it !
You want to travel the world ? Go for it !
You want to be the first person to travel to Pluto ? Go for it !
You want to acheive something you hadn't in life ? Go for it !
Go for your dreams ! Chase your dreams ! Don't ever let your dream die.
I believe nothing's impossible in this world , if you go for it.
Once your dream come true , just be sure that you'll give 100% commitment in it.
You get hold of your destiny , not destiny get hold of you.

Dreams aren't just fairytales in storybooks. Sometimes , they're the fairytales that actually come true.

Commit.

Our One Year Anniversary.

You've always been the one i counted on ,
Through joy and sorrow , laughter , and some tears.
You keep me grounded ; you're my steady rock ;
You're there for me through days and months and years.

You sweet devotion never , ever fails ,
No matter what i say or what i do.
Sometimes i wonder what i ever did
To deserve someone as wonderful as you.

I love you with a love i can't control ;
I always want to be right by your side.
I want to touch you , kiss you and much more ;
My passion for you cannot be denied.

Together we are satisfied and blessed ;
Our having a love affair is the very , very best.

I love you , my dear.

rescue me !

She is my best friend - MEIPO.
She want leave here on 31th. She will be going taiwan for her study.
Please take care of yourself.

We laughed until we had to cry.
We loved right down to our last goodbye

Today is the day we leave our past behind ;
today we say our last good-byes.
Memories in the back of my mind ,
held close by until the day I die.

I’ll miss you now , I’ll miss you then ,
I’ll miss you f o r e v e r
you will always be my best friend.

As I look back on all that’s happened … growing up , growing together , changing you , changing me … there were times when we dreamed together , when we laughed
and cried together. As I look back on those days , I realize how much I’ll truly
miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever ... and what the future holds , our today make the memories of tomorrow. So , my lifetime friend , it is with all my heart that I send you my love , hoping that you’ll always
carry my smile with you , for all we have meant to each other and for what the future may hold.

If two hearts are meant to be friends ,
no matter how long it takes , how far they go , how tough it seems , fate will bring them together to share friendship forever.

It's not what you take when you leave the world behind you ,
it's what you leave behind you when your gone.

Partying n hanging out all night long
I can’t believe your gonna be gone
through the secrets and lies
I'll still be by your side
cause no matter whenever or wherever
we will still be friends forever

Memories build a pathway that go winding through the heart ,
and keep friends close together even they are apart.

I know we'll be friends for life , sharing our dreams together. As we walk down the road ,
we'll never think twice , our memories will last forever. And although we're off to different worlds , somehow we're together. And even though we're far apart , our memories are deep
within our hearts. These are the times to remember , our memories will last , forever more.

If you have to go , don’t say good-bye.
If you have to go don’t you cry.
If you have to go , I will get by.
Someday I’ll follow you and see you on the other side.

Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again after moments of lifetime is certain for those who are friends.

I'll remember the laughter as we go our separate ways ,
but there's so much we're learning and we can not be afraid.
There's a world outside our door and nothing in our way ,
but if it's not what we're looking for , we'll meet again someday.

I can’t remember how all the times I’ve tried to tell myself
to hold on to these memories as they pass.

Soon all the joy that pours from everything makes fountains of your eyes
because you finally understand the movement of a hand waving goodbye.

We said our good-byes and when you were almost gone ,
you turned and gave me one more look … the look that said it all.
Everything was going to be okay.

I’m glad we had the times together
just to laugh and sing a song ,
seems like we just got started and then before you know it ,
the times we had together were gone.

If time slips away and you haven't heard from me , always remember that our bond is more than just words. It's a feeling of togetherness in our hearts and soul.

I want to remember how you’ve made me laugh , and sometimes cry , and I never want to forget how special and different you are. And how you touched my life in a way that no one else ever could.

Someday , when we both reminisce we'll both say ,
' There wasn't too much we missed , ' and through the tears
we'll smile when we recall we had it all for just a moment.

Take my blessings with you
and be sure to keep in touch ,
take care of yourself - be good to yourself
and remember , you'll be missed so much.

* Everything changes eventually , that's just the way life is , and you have no control over it. Like .. suddenly people who you think are always going to be there , they disappear.
You know , people die and they move away ... and they grow up. - Dawson's Creek

No matter the distance between us
Or if changes begin to start
We’ll be best friends forever
Cause nothing can keep us apart

We can never say how far our friendship would go
and how long we'd stay together
All I know is that even when we’re miles apart
You’ll still be my best friend forever

I’ve had many departures in my life.
But I have never found the good in good-bye or the fair in farewell.

How do I say good-bye to what we had ,
the good times that made us laugh outweigh the bad.
I thought we’d get to see forever , but forever’s gone away.
It’s so hard to say good-bye to yesterday.

Never say good-bye because saying good-bye means going away ,
and going away means forgetting.

I’ve learned that good-byes will always hurt ;
pictures will never replace having been there ;
memories , good or bad , will bring tears ;
and words can n e v e r replace feelings.

Even though we say good-bye , remember: we still watch the same sunset.

I miss you , CHOY MEI PO ;(

:(
