Silence
I learned a long time ago that Silence can be both constructive and destructive. Let's say you love someone, and this love is so great that you often keep silent whenever this person hurts you, simply because you can not gather enough courage to tell them that they are hurting you. The result will be a lot of thoughts piling up in your head, and one day if you may end up crazy. I know this because I have witnessed it first hand.
But silence can also be constructive, oftenly when we are dealing with "knowall" kind of people. You try explaining anything to such people and you will just be waisting your breath. Or at times when you really don't have something nice to say to someone, you would rather keep quiet than say something that's is soo not nice and hurt the other person, in such circumstances the best remedy is Silence.
" If you do not have anything nice to say, then do not say anything at all" this is a saying that most mothers prefer, and I support them.
Now back to me. Mylife is pretty much boring as always, I have school and the next one starting on monday. Its kinda exhausting thinking about books all day, but I did promise myself to be good and do good in school this time, so that's just what I'm gonna do. Ooh and Before I forget, my 'problematic' brother started college this month, so he is no longer staying at home, he is pursuing Eng in Computer science, may be something good will happen this time. Either way I'm not so sure so I have my Fingers crossed. But I am just relieved that my mum gets to breathe again, even if its just for a while, until he decides to erupt again.
That's all for today, and I'm officially late for class.
Yours Truly,

Loneliness
Every person has got something that he or she dreads the most. I'm scared of many many things, I'm scared of death, I'm scared of exams, I used to be scared of my Mum once, but all that does not measure up to how much I dread loneliness. I have all these wonderful people in mylife, but sometimes loneliness sneaks up to me and I find my self completely alone, just feeling like crying or shouting something outloud. In short I simply get lonely sometimes, really lonely.
It feels like all these wonderful people in mylife, people that I treasure sometimes simply can not touch me where I want to be touched. It feels like no matter how much I try or they try there's always this empty space in my heart that is waiting to be filled.
I'm simply never able to be alone. And I scare myself sometimes when I get lonely, I'm not kidding. When I get lonely I usually start things that I can't finish, and then the next day I'd be wondering what I was up to the previous day, and so forth. Loneliness to me is a temporary insanity.
I know I will get married someday. And if I do I know that I'm goin to marry this wonderful man who is also my best friend that I'm dating. But sometimes I worry whether loneliness will catch up with me too, when I'm alone maybe, or those late nights that husbands come home or whatever the case may be. Still I worry.
My two best friends are having relationship difficulties, one of them is a risk taker who is simply never afraid of trying when it comes to achance of true love. But I know that deep down both of them are driven by the worry of ending up alone and lonely. And I know that they are tired of being alone. Sometimes I wonder if may be my circle of friends is too small, I wonder if I may be needing more people in mylife, but sometimes I wonder if when I become a mother this empty space will be filled, but then again even childern leaves their parents when the time comes
All in all I dread loneliness
Yours Truly,

So Random
Its been a while, but really my life seems to be fast-forwading itself nowadays. School school school, for some reason I'm never really a good student, and I always believe If I actually take trouble to really study hard I can actually get very good grades. But the sad thing is I really never seem to want to work all that hard when it comes to school. This time I had decided to be very serious with school, considering I paid my own school fees this time, but even so I can feel it in my bones that I'm not doing enough, I'm not giving it all.
I'm really trying, but somehow something else is always more interesting than books, I have crazy number of reading and writing assignments, and somehow I just don't feel like doing any. Anyway, so I'm going to try now, give all that I have and actually can and see where that will lead me. May be I will actually pass after all.
Now, my weight loss, so I know I didn't post my weight loss this week, that's because my friend and I have agreed to refrain from weighing ourselves for a month. We noticed that we were getting addicted to it and now we are taking our time. So a month from last week I will post my weight loss.
So, that's all for today,
Yours Truly

My younger Days
It has been a crazy week. There seems to be so much to do and yet very little time to do anything really. I have been sleeping late and waking up early, but for some reason right now its 4am and I simply can't sleep anymore. I think I better read something, whenever I read anything "intellectual" sleep always finds its way back to me. All in all school has been hectic.
I'm trying to think of how my life is going to change once I start masters as well. How I wish I had gone to law school when my parents wanted me to :( . But its no use blaming myself now, I am going to make the best use of my time and By God I will succeed.
So, apart from my very busy schedule everything else seems to be going well, my weight watching program is doing great. Its even easy to skip unhealthy foods now, I am so used to this routine that I just don't have to restrict myself anymore. I eat lots of fruits and veggies, and soy beans, and so far so great. Can't wait for sunday to see how much weight I have shed off.
I know this is some sort of a crush program (which I badly needed), but I am going to make all the necessary adjustments to ensure that I maintain the large part of it as my daily routine. Right now I avoid. A lot of meat related stuffs, but after I hit 75kgs I will start including lots of chicken and fish in my diet. I just needed to get back to shape so badly. And I could see myself going back where I was once, and I got so scared.
I remember the first time I knew I weighed 95kgs, it felt like somebody had just placed a big stone on my shoulders. I remember there was a girl who saw me weighing myself and she came near by, and she exclaimed like she had seen a snake when she saw the numbers on the scale, I will never forget that day. Now I was young at that time, less that 15years old, and I did not know what ways to use or do to maintain my weight, but I tried. And for the next four years Up to 2006 I only managed to gain 4kgs, which brought me to 99kgs by the time I finished High school.
I joined college with the same weight, and somehow something felt out of place. But that did not even remotely motivate me into loosing weight. And then I fell in love with a really cute guy (or so it seemed at that time) and I simply wanted to change it all, I started dating him of course, and then all the in securities wouldn't leave me alone so I decided to loose weight, and I did. From 99kgs which I still maintained to 78kgs. And I have never looked better I'm telling you. And it felt so good, and I want to feel that way again, be comfortable in my own skin, so I'm going to try so hard, and hopefully I will get there. Bye bye chocolate and Ice cream :( forever.
That's all for now, write to you soon
Yours Truly,
Rubi.

Thinking of the future
I am not happy. My whole life seems to be one sad event after another. There's never a peaceful moment in my life any more. My heart is so full that I do not know what to do with my self anymore. I am always cranky and moody, all this because I am thinking of the future.
All things that I used to believe in so much, right now I do not know where I stand, My family, my Job, my abilities to cope and even my relationship. . . All of these things seems some how not to be okay or going in to a direction that I would wish them to go.
I am stuck and I am not going forward, I can not remember the least time I was this unhappy. And I really wish to stop and be happy, but my heart is heavy and as much as I try to be happy there's something inside that is simply not letting me be completely at ease. I am starting to loose faith that things will ever be normal again.
For my mother's sake, I'm praying to God that this bad storm passes quickly.
Yours Truly,
Rubi

Busy and Obese
I have been so tight that now days it is a trend for me to fall asleep on the couch while trying to watch television. Its crazy how one human head can hold so many things, literally from holding nothing to holding and processing trillion things. I am almost always broke now days because of how much I spend on fuel and upkeep.

Family
Here is the thing about my family,'It's not perfect" It has so many twisted moments that can drive you crazy or make you wish that you were invisible. But, the best part about all this is that there are so many sweet memories that I will not trade for anything

Crazy Brother
She told me that our brother (he is older than her younger than me) has written a six pages A4 letter to our parents explaining to them how sinful we are, can you believe it? In his letter, he explained every single sin that he ever thought that my sister and I ever committed and he later slipped it under our parent's door. Luckly when my parents got home from work my sister was the first person to enter their room and she saw the letter first and took it.
He said pretty bad stuff about us in that letter, some of them made up and some of them true, but can anyone imagine their parents being told their worst secrets? Anyway, this did not come to me as a total surprise, he has been acting crazy for sometime now, talking all kind of shit and mixing Jesus in all that bullshit. He pretends to be born again but in the middle of all that he pulls stunts like this (actually this is nothing compared to what he has been doing lately)
