An Introduction


As you may have noticed, I began this blog back in October this year. I began wanting a fresh start and to mark down special events or circumstances in my life. However, I have decided to take an unprecedented step to delete my previous posts on this blog. I am embarking on a new phase of my life and thus the need to start all over, once again. Thus, the formation of my fourth weblog.


"joie de viv-re" is French for The Joy of Life, which i believe is pretty much ironic. Everything is so painful right now. I am hurting, wishing I never emotionally invested so much in a relationship. However, I do acknowledge the fact that it is, and possibly will be the best for the both of us. The way it happened, did leave much to be desired though. Now that the dust has settled and we both close this chapter of our lives, I guess all that is left is for me to wish her all the best in her future endeavours. As for myself, the memories will be bittersweet. Many special moments, some painful ones. But as I have remarked to others in the past, whether we like it or not, we are just going to have to accept the situations we have been put in and make the best out of them. Rather than to sulk and grasp at what has been lost.


Nevertheless, I hope that like the theme and title of this blog, I can celebrate what life has in store for me to the fullest, embracing both the bliss and pain as they will emerge in my life. 2 quotes which i previously found, and i thought was very meaningful.


Everyday we make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before us an ever lengthening, ever ascending, ever improving path. We know that we will never get to the end of the journey. But this, far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.


Perseverance is about how high we bounce, when we have hit rock bottom.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
