look at that girl

look at that girl
she's got a swing in her walk
her hips sashaying

look at that girl
she's got a bounce in her step
her footwork light

look at that girl
she's got a grin on her lips
her smile's infectious

look at the girl
she's got great fashion on
she's making heads turn

look at that girl
just look at her
what can you tell

oh she's so pretty
oh she's so beautiful
oh she's so confident
oh she's so gorgeous

just look at her
and you wouldnt notice
the little cracks beneath the surface

look at that girl
her eyes dont match
she hides glasses

look at that girl
she's got the curves
in all the wrong places

look at that girl
her lips so thin
its quite a shame


but oh no no
look at that girl
and all you see is the beauty within
it shines and radiates
it overwhelms the cracks
you wouldnt notice
all you see is confidence
the self-belief
the kindness
for everything else pales in comparison


i want to be that girl
i want to have that confidence
i want to feel good about myself
and i will! cause i believe in me!

self-doubt


I've always thought of myself as strong. Ive been through so much, im quite surprised im still around. I have God to thank for that. That no matter what happened, i somehow pulled through and managed to get myself together and assure myself that I'm going to be alright.

Yet tonight, i find myself crumbling again. The recent events make me doubt myself so much that i dont even know myself. if im not careful, i can bet you my depression would come back, but stemmed from different reasons this time. Anyway, it wont, cause my bundle of joy keeps it away.

Ive grown accustomed or deaf to people's snide remarks over me over the years. Say what you want, i know who i am and what you say dont matter. However, when one too many people say the same thing about me, it makes me question myself if thats truly who i am. So it really hurt that day when someone commented on my parenting skill. I fought so damn hard for her and i loved her from the very start and i want the best for her. Yet what was said that day made me crash so hard. Am i really whats best for her? Its as though my whole being was reduced to a few snide remarks that i wasnt fit to be a parent because i couldnt even look after myself.

Its so tough to stand up tall and try my best when everyone around me is stepping on me and pinning me down to the ground. There is no compassion, no chance, no patience. Its frustrating and its getting to me because i find myself more moody and sullen with each passing day. It feels like a losing battle and Ive got no way out just yet.

I cant seem to carry out proper conversations anymore without making a fool of myself. I dont feel like doing anything or meeting anyone simply because i find myself so utterly dull. i want to feel a drive a purpose. I dont want to feel fat and ugly anymore. i dont want to feel broken anymore. i dont want to feel everything i used to feel anymore. why cant i just be happy with myself? why cant i just stop the pretence? why cant i stop the mask? why cant i just stop trying so hard and just be me??

Im just exhausted with everything thats been going on and i needed to rant. I apologize for yet another pointless emo post. tonight's just one of those nights where the memories come back to haunt me and i find myself so hollow with a gazillion emotions and questions wanting to torture and torment my already heavily burdened mind and heavy heart. I know im troubled because ive been dreaming. Dreams are no good in my dictionary because i dont normally dream.

Anyway, im hoping this let everything out blogpost would help ease my mind and heart in one way or another.

2013 quick update

So its been awhile since i wrote. im supposed to be asleep by now, but i thought id drop a quick post before i sleep.

2013 kicked off in the loveliest way as i opened new year with family =) a change from opening it with mass, but at least i went for an earlier mass?

Things turned sour a few days later as work has taken a turn for the worse, and Murphy's law seems hellbent on working against me. Sigh.

Faith is so grown up now, a whole 15 months already! How time passes so fast! BunnyBlog is still being updated as well, just lacking the time to update as with this blog. I'm so sorry. Trust me when i say that a huge part of myself griefs when i dont get the chance to blog, i feel like im eating myself from the inside if i dont spill forth onto these digital pages.

Anyway, its a whole week into the new year and ive yet to make my resolutions for the year. ive got so much planned for myself, i really need to make sure i accomplish it. Someone once challenged me to reach out for tangible dreams and make them come true. So hey, im gonna do it this year, no more excuses! (as soon as i get the darn resolution list put down *shy*)

the days get easier with some distractions in tow, but every now and then, i still wonder. have we ever crossed your mind? do you even think about us? doyoumissmeatallintheslightestway? sigh. some things never change and i cannot help but feel im not meant to love anyone else, but Faith. On another note, i still have some skills under my sleeves =P dont know if i should feel ashamed or proud of it =S

Oh wells, thats the quick update from me. Stay tuned, im still here & i will be back! i want to spruce this blog up! it looks so dull =(

Much love,
Mandy =)
