my second smile

I've always posted laments in my blog but this time it will change. i have to look for the positive side in my life and stop looking at the bad. if i keep looking at the bad side of my life then that's all I'll ever see. as i go on with my everyday life, i should thank God for the things i have and appreciate what exists around me, only then will I realize that i live in abundance and not in lack.
I am lucky to be the eldest cousin to my cousins for they look up to me with their problems. I thank God that I have been given to them for guidance and I hope I don't let them lose their way. (even if I give them a hard time^_^)
I am thankful that I have such a hardworking mother and a sister who cares for me. And I'm thankful for having such a smart brother and a father who is very helpful to his fellowmen.
I am thankful that I am brave enough to face the days that come and I'm thankful that I can finally understand the people around me.
I am thankful that I am beautiful in my own unique way and I can write what I want freely and without hesitation.
I am thankful that I can speak my mind and learn easily and thankful that I have been given a chance to study at a school where I find wonderful friends and cute teachers >wink<
and most of all I am thankful that I am a creation of God and part of the human race.

my first smile

today i'll smile
something i rarely do
because the world has lit up for me
and i know frowning just wont do

the world is big
and everyday it brings
a new beginning
a fresh new start

so even if i fail today
i know that when tomorrow comes
i'll have a chance
to begin a new day
