yey.. got some new books this week and i'm quite excited to read them as i also need to refuel my inspiration tank within myself to keep me going. 

and i always love to spread my inspirations so allow me to share them to you... 

...the illustrations helped a lot to make the books more interesting to read...^_^

1. Basics of Sahaj Marg Sadhana (A.P. Durai)- this book was given by a prefect and this is all about basic meditation practice... (which i am practicing for more than a year now).

2. A True Friend .....Is Someone Just like You (BJ Gallagher) 

A True Friend...
ACCEPTS you just as you are.

HUGS you... often.
INSPIRES you to do your best.
JUST loves you.
KEEPS your secrets.
LISTENS with her heart.
MAKES you a better person.
NEVER JUDGES you.
OCCASIONALLY DISAPPOINTS you, because she's human too.

3. You Go, Girl... Keep Dreaming  (Ashley Rice)

What does achieving your dreams take?
Setting goals, believing in yourself, going for it, and never giving up!

Penelope J. Miller, narrator of girls rule, is back in You Go, Girl... Keep Dreaming with hope, help, friendship,  and advice on the subject of girls and their dreams. Being a dreamer herself, she returns in these  pages to let you know that if you are a girl in the world with dreams, she will be here for you all the way.

Chances are that on the path to your dreams, you will be faced with more than one big challenge. Penelope knows the road can be bumpy, and with words of inspiration and fun, she offers encouragement and practical advice for meeting challenges  head on, while always reminding you to be who you  are.

Whether you want to be an astronaut or  athlete or artist or are currently trying to deal with the ups and downs of school and making your way,  the road can be scary sometimes. Penelope lets you know that there is greatness in the idea of trying, trying, and trying again and that the best parts of ourselves are often found when we "mess up".

Among her words of advice, you'll find ways to deal with roadblocks like self-doubt, or "brain freeze", and  space for you to write your own goals and ideas. With messages and drawings about individuality and self-reliance, Penelope fills these pages with girl power, lots of fun,  and a very important reminder: You Go, Girl... Keep Dreaming!

4. You Are a Girl Who Totally Rocks! (Ashley Rice)

You are a girl who is going places, and there's nothing that can stop you from taking on the world. You follow your own star and dream your own dreams. You aren't afraid to blaze a new trail, express how you feel, and live in the moment.

But being true to your heart takes guts. Sometimes it means stepping out from the crowd and finding your own way. It can also mean being bold, standing up tall, and daring to be different. In the end, you shine the brightest, laugh the loudest, and accomplish the most when you are true to yourself.

This book will help you be the incredible, amazing, one-of-a-kind girl that only you can be. It puts into words what you probably already know deep down inside (but might sometimes forget): You are unique. You are talented. You are full of potential to do and be so many great things. And you are perfect just exactly the way you are.  You are a girl who totally Rocks!

life is not always easy, but if you know how to find happiness within you, you'll realize that everything is just/will be fine regardless of the situations you are into...

i am hoping that you'll able to find your own source of inspirations too. ♥

be inspired. be happy. be YOU! =)

MY SONG OF THE DAY: Beautiful Day

this is one of my fave India Arie songs and this song is enough to inspire me this day. indeed, it's a beautiful day for me and i'm spreading the inspiration...




A Beautiful Day 
India Arie

Life is a journey, 
Not a destination, 
There are no mistakes, 
Just chances we’ve taken 
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now 

Wake up in the morning 
And get out of bed 
Start making a mental list in my head 
Of all of the things that I am grateful for 

Early in the morning 
It’s the dawn of a new day 
New hopes new dreams new ways 
I open up my eyes and 
I open up my mind and 
I wonder how life will surprise me today 
Early in the morning 
It’s the dawn of a new day 
New hopes new dreams new ways 
I open up my heart and 
I’m gon’ do my part and 
Make this a positively beautiful day 

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It’s a Beautiful Day [x3]

Life is a challenge not a competition 
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission 
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart 
Sometimes you feel like you’ve got something to prove 
Remind yourself that there’s only one you 
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are 
Early in the morning 
It’s the dawn of a new day 
New hopes, new dreams, new ways 
I open up my eyes and 
I open up my mind and 
I wonder how life will surprise me today 

Early in the morning 
It’s the dawn of a new day 
New hopes, new dreams, new ways 
I open up my heart and 
I’m gon’ do my part and 
Make this a positively beautiful day 

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It’s a Beautiful Day [x2]

Let’s make this a wonderful 
Let’s make this a powerful 
Let’s make this a Beautiful Day 
It’s a Beautiful Day 

Life is a journey, 
Not a destination, 
There are no mistakes, 
Just chances we’ve taken 
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

4TH OF OCTOBER: Happy New Year!

just for today, let's get to know more about October 4 celebrants....


HOROSCOPE


Overview for October 4, 2011

Quickie: Know your limits -- every one of them is there for a reason, so yield to them.

Overview: You're nostalgic, but it's not the best place for you to be right now. See if you can get your energy to snap back to the present so you can find a new way to enjoy life in the moment.


PERSONALITY PROFILE


Overall a responsible and practical person,  you are not, however, a stick in the mud. Your interests are many and varied, and you are skilled at presenting your ideas to others in a unique way. You are both an interesting and interested person, always learning, ever curious, but also rather stubborn when it comes to your ideas and opinions. Under pressure, you might feel the need to make up stories, as your reputation is important to you, and you instinctively fear misrepresentation. Your slow yet steady approach to achieving your goals assures you success, even if it doesn’t come early. Your ideas are ahead of their time, and others tend to respect your advice.
responsible – intelligent – progressive

What’s in the Cards…

The card associated with your birthday is the Five of Diamonds. You dislike routine and love to keep yourself active. You have quick reflexes and strong instincts. At your worst, you are impatient, impulsive, and restless to the point of never seeming satisfied. At your best, your imagination is excellent, you have good people skills, and your insatiable curiosity makes you extremely interesting to know, as  your ideas are always unusual. Your love card is the Jack of Clubs. You are attracted to mentally stimulating and interesting people–those you remain youthful in spirit throughout life.





You've got a backbone strong as rock. If you believe in something, you will stand up for that ideal or person with unwavering certainty, and have a powerful enough personality to see any situation through to a resolution.




Again today we see the influential aspect of the Libra sun sign. Subtle power is a good way to describe the October 4th person. Fashion and style are also attributes of this person. This can be from what they wear to what they drive or maybe even who their seen with. They usually have something funny to say and are pretty laid back. They do have a way of controlling a situation with out producing any friction. They do get what they want.

A look ahead: To be comfortable with yourself is to close the door on opportunity. 



Although Libra rebels are rare, October 4 Libras fall into this category. In the tradition of their sign, they are well-bred and polite rebels. At times they can even get away with shocking behavior because they possess a likable personality and exquisite manners. October 4 people have respect for tradition, yet they enjoy deflating pomposity.

Dreams and Goals: People born on this date are eager to make a difference in the world. Although their politics may seem extreme, they are sincere in all they do. October 4 people believe that they can change the world.


ZODIAC SIGN: LIBRA


Libra is fair-minded, socially aware, and likable. Uncomfortable with anything that throws things out of balance, Libra aims towards harmony and equality. Decisions are often hard to make, and when there are too many of them to make, they can feel drained. Oftentimes they’ll procrastinate so they don’t have to settle on a solution or answer. This is because Libra always sees both sides to any situation. Partnerships are extremely important to Libra–Librans don’t like to go it alone. For the most part, Libra is accommodating and concerned about keeping the peace.



Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. There is a mellowness and sense of relaxation in the air as mankind enjoys the last of the summer sun and the fruits of his toil. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring.

In their personal relationships they show understanding of the other person's point of view, trying to resolve any differences by compromise, and are often willing to allow claims against themselves to be settled to their own disadvantage rather than spoil a relationship.

as far as i remember, unlike my previous birthdays, this is the only birthday that i never felt excited. it's not because i am not happy but maybe because it's not yet getting into my nerves, or it's not yet flowing into my system -the acceptance of the fact that today is the start (again) of my new year. if people didn't greet me, i might tend to forget about this day. i am not expecting any big surprises but i still don't know what will happen later -i didn't prepare any. i just want to pass this day with peace just like any other day. 

nevertheless, i would like to say my thank yous,  first to God -for giving so much blessings, for hearing all my prayers, for never leaving me alone through all my success and failures, for being so kind and for loving me and for everything  that i (must but) forgot to say my gratitude. second to my parents, for allowing me to live and experience life here on earth, for being so patient and for raising me well with love and care. next to all my friends and for everyone who remembered my day and special thanks to all of my dearest friends who did an effort to surprise me last saturday (though my realization came late, i thought it was just our simple gathering but indeed i was surprised!  - very late reaction  hahaha) to all of you from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much! ♥

oh God, i still can't believe i'm already 26! 

...my age can't be considered young anymore but i'm very much thankful that i've reached this number -for many have died young and never experienced what it feels like to be 26.

i actually don't feel like growing old, i just feel wiser each year!

to the NEW lives who are born this day, welcome aboard! may you live longer. although no one can promise you a smooth-sailing life but remember that life is a journey not a destination, may you enjoy your stay in this world.

to everyone who's celebrating their birthday today, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of us! Cheers! ^_^
