UNGRATEFUL THOUGHTS

i have not always been very grateful with what i have. sometimes, i wish that i have parents who can understand me better, siblings who are more caring, friends who are less idiotic and neighbours who are cuter and PLU-er (eheh..). but most of all, i always wish that i am hunkier (i know - i'm shallow)

watching oprah last sunday night has somehow made me realise (yet again) how lucky i am. how blessed i am with what i have. and this includes my physical being. one of her guests last night was this guy who was born without arms and legs. he had this thing called congenital amputation. i have to admit that he looked a bit abnormal (not having arms and legs and all) but you can really see that he has learned to accept his condition as it is and decided to move on with life. he did not use his disability as an excuse not to enjoy life. he can write, type, shave, brush his teeth and play sports. watching him on the show (full of life and all) made me stop and think - i am an ungrateful b*stard for complaining so much all this while. here is one guy who has every right to feel bad and blame the world for being born the way he was born and yet he probably has a much more positive outlook on life than me! i silently complain about my looks every time i look into the mirror. i wish that my eyes are bigger, my teeth are straighter and my jaws are more defined (to name a few). i really should just knock my own head with something the next time i do this. and the truth is after watching the show, everytime i look into the mirror - i have learned to appreciate more what i have and be grateful for it...

watching shows like oprah and bersamamu (on tv3) humbles you. it really says "hey.. you think god hasn't given u enough? think again." and it makes you more willing to share what you have with other people who are not lucky enough to have what you have.

ps: i suddenly realise that what i wrote sounded a bit poyo. just bear with me ok - i'm in one of those moods... well, it's my blog anyway! heheheh...
