Ignorance is bliss
Another boring Saturday afternoon...except today I get to watch House on DVD (yay!). If you haven't seen it, its my favourite medical drama series.
And a line Dr Cameron said to Dr House sparked some thoughts... "Ignorance is bliss", and dictionary.com tells me it means What you don't know won't hurt you.
A flashback to college days, I remember a very irritating guy in class. He just likes irritating everyone, like his hobby or something, and my dear friend, Rach would get really annoyed and she'll start babbling non-stop about how she hates to see him around because he is so irritating...and I was like, "ya, he's irritating....so?" "So don't you feel annoyed that he's like that??" I'm like..."huh? why?? i don't care if he's irritating....why would I want to make myself upset because of someone unimportant like him?? Its just not worth frowning upon something that really doesn't matter..."
Lesson to learn - don't let unnecessary things upset you. Life's too short!! Just ignore...why?
Because ignorance is bliss.
When you don't care, it doesn't hurt.
When you don't know, its doesn't matter.
And when you don't question, you'll never need an answer :)
Health matters
Being ill for the past few days, once again I feel grateful to be back in pink of health today. I've been feeling lousy...and mostly drowsy from the flu pills (yep, slept and slept and slept....labelled 'pig' officially!!)
Gone were the days where I remember myself tellling others how I haven't been to the doctor's for the past 3 years....and one fine day my temperature hikes to 104 degrees Fahrenheit....and only up till then I would admit, "I'm sick and I need to see a doctor".
Like it or not, I've been ill for 1,2....5,6,7.... numerous times since I got back from UK (that's about 14 months now). I blame it on the food, the weather, the city, the environment (the haze is obviously the biggest contributor). Though...long hours of sitting in the air-cond room plus lack of physical activities are definitely contributing factors as well.
So, its about time I start taking charge of my body again (eat more, sleep less and EXERCISE)....bacterias and viruses should watch out!! hahaha...
Why the title?
How many times in your life have you said "Things could have been different, if only..." or "Given another chance, I would have...." ??
If only there was a take two, life would be completely different now. I could be a psychologist now...or maybe I should have studied music, pursuing my greatest hobby; but then I would be someone different now, perhaps??
There's been many, many, many regrets in life...things I should have done, things I shouldn't have...and mostly, things that I've said or never got around to say it, because of what?? Fear of rejection? or merely waiting for something better to happen?
Therefore I'm making a promise to myself. From this moment on, I will go for anything that makes me happy :) for the greatest moment in our lives are the risks we did not take.
There will NEVER be a take two in life!!
