Sincere Blessings

Hey everyone!!

Have you guys heard of Sincere Blessing Singapore aka "SB.SG", it is a Facebook page that acts as a platform to allow members to put up items to be blessed away. This page is purely a non-profit group, and items which are up for blessings are strictly at zero cost, for a good cause.

Request to join the group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/343340782421695/


For Blessers

What are the criteria your items should meet before you decide to bless them away?
  • Items could be brand new.
  • Of at least a 7/10 working condition (functionality).

So how do you go about blessing your preloved items?
  • Take photos of the items you'd be posting on SB.SG, make a montage if you've a few photos of the same item.
  • State the condition of your item 
  • Indicate how you'd like to handover the item. (Self-collection/Postage&Handling/Self-Addressed Envelope)
  • Explain who are entitled to "QUEUE" for your item. (First-come-first-serve/Random selection/Members who's never been blessed before/Previous blessers, etc.)
Note: You can state other conditions as you wish (E.G. Items would only be blessed after 3 days of posting, etc.) If you are planning to mail out the items, please take a photo of the package and post it up on SB.SG to "inform" that the item is on it's way.

For Recipients

Recipients are to read the descriptions stated by the blesser, take note if blesser has mentioned it item is for everyone to queue for or a selected group of members, etc.  Also, items that you queue for are strictly for yourself/your spouse/your child.What you need to do is to identify if you are eligible to queue for the item, if you are eligible, you may first queue (to reserve a slot) and later send a private message to the blesser. If everything is successful, you may arrange when to meet or how to get the item from the blesser.

Similarly, you may also put up requests for specific items that you need so that the members of the group will be aware of and bless items to you should have have anything that you need.

Below are a few montage photos of items that has been successfully blessed away.




Here are also some of the items that I've posted up as blessings:









With that, I hope you guys would have an open heart to bless and be thankful with the blessings you've/you'll be receiving.

Love for Food on Instagram

Hi there!

In this post, I would like to openly declare my love for food in the aspects of how I shamelessly post food photos on my Instagram account. You're most welcome to visit my Instagram and follow me @ yalexis. Sometimes I feel sorry for posting food photos because people would start leaving comments saying that they are craving for the same food too etc. But I always tell myself that,  

"NO ALEXIS! Dont feel this way, you are sharing the food photos due to your love for food!! There is certainly nothing to feel sorry about!" & so I got over it. As far as I know now, I am enjoying my time on Instagram, being able to enjoy good food and also being able to share food photos with my followers!

You guys might be thinking, "It's just photos of food.... No big deal..." NOOOO! You are wrong then! Most of us are visual creatures, we all might just get aroused by the sight of good-looking food photos and have the craving to have them for your next meal. At the same time, it is good advertisement too! When I see a photo of things I want/have been planning to get, with those photos, I could easily leave a comment and ask where to get them. So, Instagram is something guys! Let me just share some food photos I've shared, they were merely taken with an iPhone 4.












How was that?? Don't they all look YUM? Now you can understand a little more on my love for food! Teeheehee! Till then, I'll share more with you guys! Todles.

Backkkkkkkk!

Ola~

Sorry everyone! So many things has happened since the beginning of the year that I havent been blogging. & may I be here today to assure you guys that I WILL BE STAYINGGG!! Yes.... I know this sounds all so familiar, but pleaseeeeeeee let me say this again!!

Well just a quick update, I'm about to enter my second last semester by end November. This semester round, I'll be taking my last 2 electives and I'll be left with 2 more core modules. Just looking forward to graduate soon and start finding a job in the related field!

I would also like to share that earlier this year, during march when I was facing some emotional setbacks, I turned to alcohol and started to binge-drink. Almost getting drunk week-in week-out, & it was really really bad. But I told myself that I could never rely on alcohol to cure and fight my sorrows, & I should only take alcohol to lighten my tension and when I'm out partying with friend whilst having a great time. So I slowly curbed my binge-drinking and managed to stop drinking excessively and remained sober for the entire time, EXCEPT once when I partied with the KINGS to celebrate 3 of their birthdays at Movida. Was literally ushered from St James all the way back to Novotel =.='' IKRRRRR! My hair was tangled badly the moment I was awake, my dear friend Natalie was happily ruffling with my hair while I was trying to fight the alcohol within me. But no worries, I'm all good now, just drinking occasionally and in happy spirits!

Before I end my long and overdue post, let me be thankful for my decision to be back active on blogger as well and to let phibaby send her regards! XXOO

Stay tuned!!!!

Don't be fooled by the plain looking cupcakes, you'll have to sink your teeth in to judge!




Other than Red Velvet Cupcakes, my sister and I did  some candies, they're known as Bom Boms. Unfortunately, they did not turn out to be as round as they should have, but the texture and sweetness were just right!

Easy - Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins

Howdy!!

Just the other afternoon, I decided to make a trip down to Sher's place to have some good old bonding time!! Too bad Huimin is over in HK and couldn't join us for the wonderful baking experience. If you guys haven't knew about Sher and Huimin, we were from the same primary school as well as secondary school. Our friendship has been on-going for 13 years, and without a doubt, I believe it will still grow stronger!! ^^\/. 

So we baked Blueberry Muffins, and gosh...... they turned out wonderfully delicious!! You've got to try this simple yet fulfilling recipe!!! The ingredients are widely available at most of the local supermarkets, I'm pretty sure all of you will have a great time basking through this classic recipe. Quick and simple to follow!


Can you see how nicely cracked the muffins are!?!?

MAI TU LIAO!! TRY IT NOW!! The recipe is just below!!



Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins

You'll need:

  • 140g Butter, Softened
  • 140g Caster Sugar
  • 2 Eggs (60g with shells)
  • 4 tbsp Buttermilk
  • 175g Self-raising Flour
  • 115g Blueberries (Quantity may vary according to your liking)
  • Icing Sugar, for dusting

Method
Preheat oven @ 175 deg celsius

  1. Mix butter till smooth, add in caster sugar and beat till light and fluffy.
  2. Add in eggs, one at a time/beat them together and split into two additions. (DO NOT OVER-MIX)
  3. Stir in buttermilk.
  4. Sift flour into the liquid mixture and start using the spatula to fold them together.
  5. When the dry and liquid ingredients have nicely incorporated, gently fold in half portion of the blueberries.
  6. Spoon batter into muffin cups till 3/4 full. Scatter the rest of the blueberries over.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes @ 175 deg celsius.

Tips: If you don't want your muffin's peak to crack too much, shift them to the lower rack when they have reached your desired state, BUT!!! remember while you're shifting them, avoid having to much movements e.g. shaking, hitting against racks etc. Try to keep them as still as you can. Too much movements might cause the uncooked batter to sink, thus your muffin would not have a beautiful peak!


Nonetheless, I wish you guys GOODLUCK with trying out this simple and easy recipe! 


XOXO,
Alexis ♥

Red Velvet Cupcakes


Hi there!! I hope everybody is doing good!

Christmas is approaching, therefore, I was thinking of baking some cupcakes to bring myself closer to a more heart-warming Christmas spirit! I saw this recipe from Joy of Baking last week and had the sudden urge to bake it so badly!! Through this recipe I learnt about the importance about the baking soda and vinegar mixture, how it makes your cupcakes light and fluffy! Nonetheless, you should not over mix or beat the batter too long, and the temperature and timing is also another crucial factor to produce a satisfying result. There is a much more better looking photo but it has not been sent me yet, therefore, i decided to go ahead to post my draft without waiting for the photos. If there's a chance, I'll post the photos up for you guys soon!! Meanwhile enjoy baking!!



Makes 12 cupcakes.

Red Velvet Cupcakes:

  • 1 1/4 cups (125g) Cake flour, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp (10g) Reg unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 (57g) Unsalted butter @Rm temp
  • 3/4 cups (150g) Granulated white sugar
  • 1 Large egg (60g with shell)
  • 1/2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp Liquid red food coloring
  • 1/2 tsp White distilled vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda


Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 ounces (227g) Cream cheese @ Rm temp
  • 1/2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Icing sugar, sifted
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) Cold heavy whipping cream (35-40% butterfat content)

Cupcakes: 

  1. Preheat oven to 175C (350F) and line 12 muffin tins with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl whisk or sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until soft (about 1-2 minutes). 
  4. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  5. In a measuring cup whisk the buttermilk with the red food coloring. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour.
  6. In a small cup combine the vinegar and baking soda. Allow the mixture to fizz and then quickly fold into the cake batter. 
  7. Working quickly, divide the batter evenly among the 12  muffin cups and smooth the tops with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18 - 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes and them remove from pan. Let cool completely before frosting. Either spread the frosting with a knife or offset spatula, or use a large open star decorating tip to pipe the frosting.


Cream Cheese Frosting: 

  1. In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. 
  2. Add the vanilla and confectioners sugar and beat until smooth. 
  3. Using the whisk attachment, gradually add the heavy cream and whip until the frosting is thick enough to pipe. Add more sugar or cream as needed to get the right consistency.

A Lost Hello

Hi there everyone!

I really want to take this opportunity to apologize for my extensive absence! Apparently, I thought that I could maybe switch blog domains, but I came to realize that blogger is still the most user-friendly blog domain after-all. Oh well... So now that I'm back, I do hope that I would be able to blog consistently, please forgive meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Just a little update from where I left off. Slightly more than a year have past, so many things has happened. I've gained some and I've lost some, in many aspects of my life. I've lost a few friends whom just further showed their true colors by deciding to left the friendship. But I would still look at it as I've gained more than I lost. Which is definitely something to feel positive about. Currently, I'm in my second year in ECU, and same as before, I pray for self-discipline, wisdom, positivity and determination, etc. The road ahead will surely be tough to move forward to but if I could stay focus and put in more effort, I'm pretty sure it will turn out just fine! Another thing is that my sister and I started an online business selling handmade chocolates. I do have faith that it will also be great.

Alright so that's all for now, I will try to update a Halloween post soon!! Till then.

-xoxo

Post Examinations

Hey all, examinations for 2nd semester is finally over and just in a blink school will resume next week. So before the my 3rd semester starts, I would like to pray for more self-disciple, wisdom, better communication skills, higher tolerance, and oppotunities etc. In the coming 3rd semester, I'll be embarking on my electives and they are "Early Childhood" and "Counselling", and yes! I am looking forward for it to start! Alright, enough of school.

As you all know, Hari Raya is soon approaching, just in a few days time. For this Raya, everything just feels weird, it is very different from the previous 2 Rayas I celebrated. For the past 2 Rayas it was celebrated with Fadd and family. For this year, I wont be jalan raya-ing with Fadd, and it does feel weird. Nonetheless, I still bought my Baju Kurong, and it's black with purple and turqoise emboidery. But Im not really looking forward to it though.

Its been so long, things between the two of us is still so hard and dry. Why did all these even happened? If only I can go back to year 2007, I would have chosen not to go mustafa, and all these would have have happened, one thing would not have led to another. And now, I regret.

Vroooomm

I have been attending my driving lessons DILIGENTLY. This time round, its nothing like the previous times when I attempted to go regularly. I literally stopped going for 8 months, and now? I need to relearn everything! Oh well, nonetheless, its good for me. Helps to refreshes my memory, and drill and prepare me with driving and road experience. So far, the furthest I went was til tampines and because Im new to manual cars, I had to maintain at a slow speed, say about 60km/h?

And i found out that I have a very weak bladder! Well initially I thought it was just not as good as everyone elses' but I realised that Im not able to store as much pee as others could! like in 100mins, i need to visit the loo 3 times! once before the lesson starts, another visit, in the middle of the lesson and once more right after the lesson ends. Weak mann!!

Okaye, I dont wanna sidetrack too much and keep talking about pee etc.

So you might be thinking why am I being serious with learning how to drive this time round? That is because Im already 22! Getting older makes it harder for me to learn... okaye, thats not really the reason why. Its actually because of self-accomplishment, you see, when everyone passes 18 the first few things they wanna do will be things they were forbidded to do before they reached 18. (E.g. buying alcohol, ciggarettes. Partying, M18 movies as well as driving legally). And I have already delayed this for 4 long years! I feel that is it time that I should do something useful and helpful to the family, if I've successfully gotten my liscense, I would be able to:

1. Take my mom to her weekly doctor's appointment so that my sister could have enough time to settle her wedding preparations.

2. Help to do delivery when there are more than 1 urgent order.

3. When either my dad or sister is out-stationed, their cars would be free for use, therefore, I CANT DRIVE THEM!!

4. I can help to run some errands. ( Which I hope, I dont have to)

LOADS MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Okaye, I gotta scoot for practical lesson now! Update more when I have the time! CIAOS.

-You know you love me,
xoxo.

No Sunshine

What sustains a friendship?

  • Is it the amount of time you spend together?
  • The number of times you were there for each other through bad times?
  • The activities you indulge in together?
  • The fact that you share secrets with each other?
  • Having common goals and interests?
So what actually sustains friendships? This is a tough nut to crack, which many would feel that they know it well enough. Why does it seem that you would get marked for the slightest mistake you make or even some unintended negligence given? Yet for all the times you were there for them, they just choose not to remember? What does one get out of just remembering all the bad things?

Does being straightforward mean that you are bad? That you are not doing the right thing to a friend? Shouldnt friends be straightforward with each other? I personally feel that it is important to tell my friends things that are true, and not say things that will make them feel better at the point of time yet would sink back into the problem soon enough.

Life isnt a bed of roses whereby you could have all your worries/burdens/problems/unhappiness cushioned. Should we actually take things with a pinch of salt? YES WE SHOULD.

I really have no idea where this post is heading to, but I certainly have ALOT of queries that are in need of answers. Probably when im in a better state of mind, i'd draft out a proper post regarding friendship. My apologies, Sorry.

Monday, July 19, 2010

Yes, i know you missed me.

Yes, I know that there have been an absence of myself over the past couple of months. And I am sure Im back this time round for good and for long, and no, I did not shift. I merely created another blog for random thoughts and emotions.

Speaking of emotions, I had a terrible rough row with myself last night. All the weeping and sniffing of juices from the nose had got me a little sick right now. I dont have any idea why would we feel this way? The more you want to find out about your problems, it would just seem to run away. Knowing that you're finally noticing it and realised that something went wrong and that it is time to pay it attention? It would start to squirm away, wriggle out of your sight, making it hard for you to capture and have a good look at it. Yubb, so this is what we call LIFE, this is what every regular human would go through, whether we like OR NOT, we would have to go through these crap that some greater force above us, somehow.. planned for us. Suck it in dudes.

On the other hand, I have a number of people on my list that i miss a whole lot. And i miss them emotionally. Sometimes too emotional that it would get me cranked up. But you and I both know that there is nothing we could do about a situation like this. What needs to come will eventually come, the more we want to fight it, the stronger it would crush us. Sad to say, we do not have a choice. How sad is that?

There are also alot of things I have piled up on my "to-do" list, I am hoping that I could take some time out for my personal stuff, for friends as well as for family. All I face now are books, books and books. Well, not exactly just books. But yeah, I am aware that I have neglected alot of little things, but I did not do it on purrrrrposeee. ((:

Well, nonetheless, the past few months have been great, I hope X: Got my grades and hopefully it would be consistent! I am trying hard to love the life now.

So.......... I'll see you guys when I see you.
-xoxo, tooooodles.

Poof

I dont know what to write. I wrote 2 relatively long posts and ended up deleting them. DANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Monday, April 12, 2010

Everything we've had.

After keeping myself busy for so long, i finally came to realise that my heart is still aching over the past. Not that its love, but its just something left unsettled. It brings tears to my eyes, aches to my heart and also saddness to my mind.

Why cant 2 ex lovers be friends? Why cant we live amicably and be good friends? Why must we have such awful conversations with each other time after time? Why cant we have a proper talk and sort things out and then FINALLY be friends again? It hurts so badly you know?

I have to keep up with so many things happening in my life. I have to please many people thts surrounding me, I need to consider many factors before i even decide to do something. For the mistakes i've made before, im sorry. For the harsh treatments i gave before, im sorry. I just want to have a proper conclusion of how we were, and how we could be. I know things wont go my way because of your stubborness, but all i wanna do is to try, even if chances are slim.

Life hasnt been easy after the toll, life hasnt been smooth after the call for an end. But i just want something thats the best for us and something that would keep us strong as friends. I wanna love your family and you equally AS FAMILY. Sigh. this is just such a heartache.

Thank God

I really want to get myself a new camera. Urghhhh.
Went to Picadally Circus and tried their famous Buffalo Wings.
Level 4, initially i was pretty terrified, was afraid that i would prolly burn the walls of my stomach. haha but little did i know that, I DID NOT!
Seeee, i can take spicy food. Well not only was it spicy, it contains a strong taste of tabasco sauce too. That prolly explains why it was sourish.
Then we had a M-POP session. Had some videos taken down, it turned out FREAKING HILARIOUS. hahah.

Oh anyway, back to the camera topic.
And so i said, i really want to get a compact camera, like REALLY. not that the fujifilm one isnt good. Just that i felt that i wanted to have a digital cam, a compact cam, a DSLR in future, fisheye maybe.. Well. just lomography please..

oh well .. we'll just see how things go.

Anyway, the wedding yesterday was GREAT, i got to catch up with my old friends. everyone is doing so well now and i just cant help but to feel happy for them. Yet everyone was still the same! Awwww i just miss them all over again. So as we're at the wedding, they were playing some indian songs, and i realised a overly mad woman, sitting next to me shaking her head and singing along with the song, while fiddling with her iphone. i couldnt help but to diss her. and even till now i am still dissing her. many might think this woman im talking about is a stranger to me. Noo wayy. hahaha, she is none other than, Vhiska Yoganandhini. Yes, this indian mama asked me to write about her. and there she have it.

OH.. before i even end this post, i would like to thank my cousin WEIWEI! hahaha, because she motivated me to blog this entry! FYI, its pouring cats and dogs outside. SICK MANN.

Vegetarian-ism


Does vegetarians know what food gives them the particular nutrients they need?

Does vegetarians know how to eat healthy?


Well i was reading through the papers (Credits to ST: MIND your BODY) this morning and this particular few pages caught my attention immediately and kept me reading on. I was certainly interested in this as my mom is a vegetarian herself and i am of course, concerned if she is taking in sufficient nutrients, what not.
Then as i was reading, it got me a little worried because being a vegetarian may not have a very healthy diet.

Many vegetarians may have negligence towards the deficiencies in certain nutrients. Which could actually lead to many serious illnesses in the long run.

Iron
Iron from plants aint as well absorbed therefore, this can lead to anaemia.
This can help! - Green leafy vegetables, figs, peas and broccoli



Calcium
Bones tend to get brittle over time if the body recieves insufficient calcium.
This can help! - Calcium-enriched beancurd aka tofu, broccoli, seeds, nuts, kale, bok choy and legumes




Protein
Plants lack certain essential amino acids, which are the key building blocks for the body.
This can help! - Legumes, soya, nuts, beans, seeds and substistute meat products

Vitamin B12 Most plant food lacks of vitamin B12 which is greatly needed for metabolic processes. Insufficient vitamin B12 may increase one's risk of dementia.
This can help! - Nutritional supplements

Omega-3 fatty acids
Helps to reduce the risk of heart problems and cholesterol levels.
This can help! - Walnuts, canola and soya



Vegetarians with kidney problems, should watch his/her potassium intake as leafy green vegetables and fruits like bananas and durians are high in potassium, as told by Dr Tan Seng Hoe from Gleneagles Medical Centre.

A damaged kidney is unable to regulate potassium levels and high levels can lead to irregular heartbeat.

Well, an alternative for kidney patients are to soak their vegetables for a few hours before cooking so as to reduce their potassiun levels. As for those who prefer to eat raw vegetables, seeds and fruit, be very careful of unhygenic food preparation and the risk of food poisoning, warned by nutritionists.

Many people may be wondering what is vegetarian? How come i heard of fruitarian, lacto-ovo etc.

Well.....

Omnivore
Eats both plants and aminal-based food. That is what most people are doing, with a high number still having a high-meat, high-fat diet.

Lacto-ovo- vegetarian
Eats eggs and diary products in addition to plant-based food, but no meant, poultry and fish.

Lacto-vegetarian
Eats diary products in addition to plant-based food, but no meat poultry, eggs and fish.

Vegan
Eats only plant-based food. No meat, poultry, fish, eggs and diary products.

Fruitarian
A vegan diet but with only fruit, nuts and seeds.

Raw food eater
Usually vegetarian diet with uncooked food or food not heated beyond a certain temperature. Food such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains and beans; more rarely pasteurished dairy products and even raw meat and fish may be eaten.


RAW FOOD EATER ------> WEIRD. urghh.

Hair Loss

Are you fretting over the loss of your hair???
Or wondering how to increase your hair growth???




I have come across people who are suffering from hair loss, slow hair growth, balding head and receding hairline problems. Often a time, these are the problems they'll always worry about.




FRET NOT!!

Here are a couple of ways that could help!




6 Natural Ways to Increase Hair Growth

1. Do scalp shifting
- Using pads on your fingers, firmly place them all over your scalp and move your skin in a circular motion. Do this for the next 5 to 8 minutes.

2. Put red bell pepper on your head
- The spiciness of this fresg herb will speed hair growth byover 50%. Put a few slices in boiling water for about 10 minutes, then let it cool for the next 15 minutes. Next apply it on your scalp for about 30minutes, lastly, rinse it off.

3. Eat more protein
- Hair is made out of protein, therefore, by taking more protein you are promoting rapid hair growth. Food such as fish, chicken, cottage cheese, whey, peanut butter and steak are high in protein.

4. Take a Biotin supplement
- Biotin works great for your hair, skin and nails. Currently, there isn't any toxicity levels known for Biotin so it is BEST to take the high potency supplement of 5000mcg per day.

5. Take Magnesium supplement
- Just like Biotin, Magnesium is hair food. It helps with nerve stimulation and also relaxes your muscles.

6. Drink 6 - 8 glasses of water daily
- Sometimes the body will hold substances that harms your hair's natural growth and balance. So it is best to clear the toxic and clean out your system everynight. Simply drink 1 - 2 glasses of water before bed. Too much will cause puffy eyes and water retention.




Food that Stimulate Hair Growth

1. Eggs
- High in Biotin, vitamins that your high need to stay healthy. It is also very high in Protein. Try adding eggs into daily eating plans. Not too much egg yolk though.

2. Lean meat
- Chicken and tuna are both high in Protein which is very important for your hair. Eat at least 50 calories of tuna on a daily basis.

3. Vegetables
- High in vitamins that contains Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium.

4. Whole grain
- Rich in Zinc, vitamin B and Iron. ( For people who has a hetic scedule)

5. Carrots
- Rich in vitamin A.




How To Reverse Balding & Stimulate New Hair Growth

1. Mix hot olive oil, honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder into a paste. Apply it over head before bath and leave it on for 15 minutes. This helps to stimulate scalp to grow new hair.

2. Apply a mixture of aloe vera with herbal powder triphala to the hair for a period of time. (3 - 6 months) This enhances the speed of growing new hair.

3. Scrub the bald/balding portion with onions till it beomes red. Then apply honey. This gets blood flowing more freely to your scalp, nourishing and strenghtening your hair follicles.


Good Luck in making your hair grow! I hope this research is helpful!

Act of Betrayal

Betrayal Can Whreck You More Than You Can Ever Expect





If you can betray LOVE once, you can betray LOVE twice.
& it goes on and on and on.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the times when im having some quiet time alone or when i decide that i should be doing some self-reflections, i tend have a thousand and one things dashing through my mind. Such as family, friends, relationships, school and some others. It may be all general thoughts but these general thoughts were somehow converted into day-to-day basis conversation topics i have with people. The thing is, when i think about these i kinda throw questions back to it and in a way or another, i would be posted with another question sub-conciously. When i come to a point whereby im speechless that would be when i try to hit the sacks. So the moment i get up the next day, first thing that i will recall of was "what was i doing right before i went to bed last night?" And so it goes on and on, especially when i couldnt find or debate with myself for an absolute positive solution, this is when it turns into things i talk to people around me about.

So lately i have been seeing and hearing alot about BETRAYAL. What exactly is betrayal?

Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive social contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship.


Well, to put it in simple words it simply means by having done actions that is letting people down, it could be cheating on your partner, lying to your friends or leaking out confidential information to others.

What i would like to emphasise most in this entry would be LOVE BETRAYAL. And i thought to myself:

  • Why people would actually resort to love betrayal?
  • Why would people want to betray the people they love or rather claim they love?
  • How can they bear to do things that would hurt their partner?
  • Would people ever betray love for money?

All these boils down to their moral values and humanity. Many could actually come up with reasons like:

  • "I betrayed my partner because he/she wasnt giving me the attention that i want."
  • "Oh, i dont get the sense of security from him/her and this other guy/girl has it."
  • "I dont dare to break up with him/her, im afraid he/she might not be able to take it."
  • "He got no money and this other guy has, he can provide for me. But on the other hand i still need my plan B, so i should just date 2 guys at one go."
  • "I cant bear to let go this relationship, afterall we've been together for so long. Yet i have already start to fall in love with this other guy/girl."

There are many many more excuses that i could mention but i'd rather not. In this situation, the problem lies in their humanity and morality. Betrayal should not even take place right from the start.

So when you feel that there is a problem with the relationship, first is to deal with it, settle all the misunderstandings or issues you have with each other. Give each other some time to think about the relationship, whether it could go far or should you put an end to it. When things are settle or talked over and the decision is to break up, take time to heal and when you are better, you move on.

If money is the reason why you betray, that makes you someone who can be bought over by money, putting your integrity, chasity and moral values below money. This would be an ultimate disgrace to all mankind.

Personally, I am very against love betrayal. I am very sure that no one would want to be betrayed by their partner and there would be tons of people who would agree with me that betraying your partner is a despicable act. It would only show others what kind of person you are inside.

Well, of course, people who does the betraying would have a million excuses and would definately deny that what they are doing does not equate to betrayal. But sad to say, people who dont betray would clearly have the ability to conclude if your actions are considered as an act of betrayal.

If you can betray once, what makes you think you would not have the tendency to betray again in the future? There are many good examples out there for you to relate to. If one feels that he/she did not do anything wrong and that what they are doing/did isnt/wasnt considered as betrayal, i can positively assure that these people would never be able to find true love. Because they have already lost the true meaning of love.
