i’d like one toots, please
December 23, 2010Listen to this song while you read this post!
I thank God for all that I am and I have. I have all my senses, I have a roof over my head, I have clothes to cover myself, I have food to keep me alive, I have a beautiful family, an amazing guy and people who genuinely love me. On top of that, God gave me an easy career life (so far!) and even let me start something of my own at a young age.
There are many like me.
But what may be slightly different about me is that I have a blog that gets more attention than some, and with that comes a lot of mixed responses. I get a lot of people commenting on my lifestyle, my career, my clothes…even bad that I’m so immune to it! Seriously, guys, the secret to blogging actively is to be tough because you’re gonna get LOADS of hurtful comments. Nothing you do is right and people actually LOOK for things wrong with you.
You talk about handbags, you are a brat. You talk about your day, you are a bimbo. You talk about religion, you are unqualified. You talk about clothes, you are superficial. You talk about about happiness, you’re high. You talk about career, you’re pretentious. You talk about charity, you’re an actress. You are everything la! There will always be people talking about you, whether you’re naughty or nice, whether you have a blog or not.
Humans have this thing where they can’t see people happy, it’s called jealousy.
Everyone has a little bit of that in our hearts!
So, don’t get mad!
It ain’t pretty, on the inside and on the outside.
Just keep a good head on your shoulders and stay true to yourself.
My mom always tells me, “Rezeki comes from God, not from people. Just do your thing and remember God. It’ll all be alright”.
See Ma, I listen!!!
These words are just some of the most soothing words ever because it makes me realise that I always need to have faith in God and in myself. People don’t determine where you go in life, that’s God’s decision. So don’t ever let people take you down, don’t ever fear people’s actions or words because there’s another force that is above all. And don’t waste your time hating others because (1) what good will it do?? and (2) God chose to give everyone different paths in life.
Lucky for me, I have people I love in my life who keep reminding me these things. They are so down to earth and are genuinely nice people because I really choose who I want to be close to. I always believe that you deserve who you end up with; the good will be with the good, and vice versa.
So I must be SOMEWHAT good because I ended up having a best friend like Toots.
A best friend who keeps me sane and grounded and purposely leaves the sejadah open after she prays to make sure I don’t miss my prayers. She is seriously the most humble person I have ever known despite all the luxuries and achievements in life, and I really admire her for her values.
On the day she finished her CA exams, I took her on a manicure + macaroons date. Pampered ourselves with mani pedi, then came back down to earth to have some teh ais.
Everybody needs a Toots in their lives, and I hope you’ve got yours too π
I don’t usually feel this much love for her (gonna puke in a few seconds), but I read this post she wrote. So with this post, in other words, I’m saying “AWWW I LOVE YOU TOO.”
this is the first time I cried reading your post. I gotta say the audio effect worked, well at least before that female singer went all crazy and screamed randomly in the song. but I had already done reading before the song came to that part.
yes we all need a toots in our lives… ur so lucky to have found one. don’t ever let toots go, she’s hot.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet. yes. everyone needs a toots of themselves. especially the sejadah part. i’m touched.
you are what you are. people won’t stop hating! i love your blog. keep on writing yaaaaaa!
btw, love the song. reminds me of a morgan freeman’s movie – higher learning.
eh chop! the movie’s title is Lean on Me. haha. my bad…
its soooooooooooooooooo true!!!!
Hello adik. Don’t worry so much about other people. At least I don’t. Heh. Cos I got my own toots too. Babes, when u r all brains n looks memang ppl either adore u or despise u. Let ’em green eyed monsters think whatever they want. Rezeki dtg dari Allah. I think u r a very lucky girl and I am not one bit jealous of u. Allah is fair. If I can’t have a chanel or alexa a least I have my own toots just like u π chin up! Hugs
i love ur blog and i tink ure funny and u.are.gorgeous.
yeah we all need toots in our lives.im glad u have one.im still waiting for mine.
This is sweeeeeeeeeeet.
yupe.kirim salam pade ajjrina..n yupe..know her since primary..she’s truly an angel
hey vivy, i dont mean to be hurtful, but since u have make up on almost all the time, may i know how do i get round to taking air sembahyang for prayers during the day? Do u wash them all off and redo your make up? I know its shallow but i’m curious, i hope i did not offend anyone.
I really envy your lifestyle, all the luxury things you have and I just told my mom I found another pretty blogger’s blog to read.
I need some ‘toots’ in my life as well π
People will always find something that they don’t like about others, well… nobody’s perfect right. As long as you know who you are and keep on the right track, you shouldn’t even care much about all the stuff they said. Just take it as a friendly reminder so that you wont be over the line.. Take it as their own twisted way of showing their love to you..so you’ll always be on your feet…
Keep writing though..love your blog
awww…. so sweet! Alhamdulillah for all the things we have in life… Let’s pray that Allah continues to bless us with His blessings… I totally agree with SherinaNofal, I may not have a Chanel (or anything close to it) but I do have my own toots… at this point of life (I am o.l.d. *sigh-unsigh*), I’d say that you are one sweet (and pretty) lady and you deserve to be who/where you are now (even when I don’t know you personally)…
i’m so touched…
Yes, so true.You can`t make everybody happy, so just follow your instinct…
u’re right dear.i think ajjie is one of the greatest friend i ever met.she makes everyone feels so pleased to befriended with her.she’s really down to earth kind of girl with a very noble heart.i adore her for her humbleness.omg!suddenly u make me miss her.=(
omg i love this entry !! i have been reading your blog since about a yr ago and i am hooked !! i suka tgk u and gaya u (i mean how u style ur baju2, bags etc).. and i rasa u sgt down to earth if compared to anak2 orang kaya yang lain..
yes, i agree with your point that rezeki Tuhan yang bagi. bukannya orang2 sekeliling u.. so to hell whatever they want to say.. kenapa ur blog takde link/share to fb ? i nakkk sgt share ur entry ni kat my wall..
You both are lucky to have each other!
Hi, can I plesae have the contact number of the person that you always order those lovely birthday cakes from? Thank you.
Hi!
I love your opinion on blogging and I featured your 3rd and fourth paragraph in my blog. Hope you didn’t mind! Gets me inspired!
I just saw Toots in KLCC this afternoon, she is very pretty in real life. The pics don’t really do justice to her :). Hi Toots!
This is a very good entry, Vivy. It further affirms that you have a good head on your shoulders. Your parents must be very proud of you.
Salam –
Mak Su ….gambar you dalam Mag Nona Jan 2011.tadi ternampak…
love to read about your bags and everything good that happens to you in life. i might not have the same thing but i dont know why it makes me happy not envy π
yes vivy just be true to urself and ignore those jealous people, some people like to judge and punish others, they think they are better than others, more “alim” or what so ever. keep ur head high and keep on blogging..
p/s im so jealous of u too, i want my own toot!
i have like 5 toots and i’m sooo blessed π
Don’t take notice on what people say about you because life is a bitch and whatever you do whether if it is wrong or right, you are bound to get criticized. You know who you are. However, just give this a thought, what we write at times may irk others simply because we have what they want,a life, a treasure, a great man that they may never get and while we think that we are merely expressing our happiness, our latest purchases, think about others who can use the money to buy a whole month worth of provisions with that single Chanel bag you just bought or that mother or lady who had just been beaten by her ‘great’ man. I adore your blog for giving me that piece of fantasy to get a gist of the life I would never get near to but dear Vivy..some may not feel the same..and is it their fault??? There won’t be a fire if there is no spark. Wallahualam.
i dont have toots and i dont have luxury lifestyle.and i dont jealous to you yet,i just adore u. hahaha. you are tough in my eyes. π
I started blogging in 2004 (was at ur age that time), due to a lot of hatred and bad comments I decided to stop blogging after 4 years. (it was not an easy decision since my blog was like my life stories since I was single until I gave birth to my beautiful daughter)
After two years on hiatus, my passion in writing and from demand made by my friends n families, I blog again and this time I plan, make research, put on rule of my own DOs and DONTs and make sure that I prepare for whatever that will come soon. I know what to expect and I’m ready now!
You r right you are what you are, as long as u hold on to ur belief, and surrounded with people who really love you, everything will be okay. Insya Allah, He knows better.
So never stop blogging because you’ll feel something empty in ur life.
Happy new year to you π
I wished I had my own Toots too !
Oh purleeezzzz ignore d untoward comments, u have a lovely blog, loads of people love ur blog so please continue writing coz I know I cant wait to read ur new postings and await eagerly for the next one and am sure a LOT of other people feel d same way!
