When you were a kid you just wish to weep the entire day off hoping that your mom would prolly just come forward, hold you up in her arms and tell you "Baby, don't cry, mommy's here." That's what kids do all the time for attention.
And whenever we yearn for a toy, most moms would definitely do their best to satisfy the needs of their child. They do whatever it takes, even to skip their meals to see a smile on their child's face. Ah, the most annoying part is when we start to pout and give that sulky face + dreamy looking eyes... You know they'd just surrender to us after listening to our ear piercing whines.
But what happens as we grow older? Teenagers are getting more rebellious these days. It's like, "What sia, she doesn't want me to do, I purposely want to show her I can!" That kinda self-centered attitude.
Most of us would have thought this way at some point of our lives: "I feel that my mom is like a definite bloody annoying asshole, a cretin cock-head amongst all other moms on this planet earth. In fact, at this critical moment, I should officially declare my entire dubiety of the fact that she's prolly not my biological mom.
She can't be, certainly not. Nothing in any tiny atom of my entire body bears any similarity to an iota of any little bit of her. It's really frustrating and absurd whenever someone claims that we actually look alike?! Like hey, excuse me, but we actually DON'T, thank you. And I should be most aware of that fact bcos I've been looking at her same old face since the day I'm brought to this world, and fyi, I do have a mirror; which I've looked in, and I've so NOT seen any resemblance.
If I ever do see that hideousness, someone please kindly drown me immediately in the nearest collection of deep water. I would honestly be grateful for that act of mercy. Then you'd go like, fuck, why is life so unfair? Why can't I have my mother like blablabla's."
You know that sorta feeling? Betcha guys have at least felt it once in your entire teenage life. Well, of course I don't curse my mom all the time. I'd feel guilty about it. I don't wanna look for shelters every time I see lightnings..... Why shouldn't we do this? Read on...
Oh man, just admit it, who likes being scolded, nagged at, yelled at, demanded to do this and that as if you were born to slave or something right? Who doesn't hate it when your mom just doesn't understand you no matter how hard you try to explain, she still insists that she does?
Who likes it when your mom shouts at you in front of everyone else as if she's oblivious to the crowd, making you feel like you've grown two huge, red apples on your cheeks and you just wish you could dive right into a hole right away. (Cos frankly, I hate it when my mom actually shouts in public, want shout go home shout, it's your house, people have eyes!!!)
Who doesn't wish your mom could just vanish into thin air immediately when you stayed up all night planning on an outing and her sudden response made you remember the existence of the word "N.O, NO." Smashing all your hopes and driving you insane. And who the hell likes it when your mom is being god damn unreasonable, when all you wanted was to try and fight for your own rights/ talk some sense out of her by kindly explaining, and she claims that you're trying to "talk back" ; retaliate. So damn innocent.
BUT............
Remember, who was the one who made your day when you cried all day long. Who was the one who forked out the extra time and go an extra mile just to make you happy. Who was the one who tolerated when you repeated the same old line on how you wanted to buy your favourite toy? If she nags, she wants the best out of you.
If she rejects you, she doesn't want to spoil you. If she shouts, it proves that she cares for you. If she hits you, take it as a lesson learnt for not behaving. If she doesn't trust you, question yourself if you are worth the trust first. If she doesn't understand you, please take the time to explain to her. If she doesn't listen, of course don't talk to her when she's angry la! That's stupid... Be patient.
I believe that all mothers would still love their child no matter rain or shine, otherwise they would have just dumped you into some orphanage or prolly worse, killed you before you even seen the world, instead of suffering that 9 months of pain. If you think that your mother doesn't love you, spare her that few minutes or seconds to take a second thought.
Think of how fortunate you are to be in this world with a mom when some other kids can't even get to enjoy this luxury. Be happy for what you have and not dwell on what you don't. At the end of the day, no matter what she did, be forgiving and remind yourself of all the hardship she has gone through to nurture you.
NO MOM = NO TODAY.
Okay, I know it's not Mother's day or something, I'm just dedicating this post to a friend of mine who always thinks the worst of his mom. And his mom spoke to me last night, and I could feel how terribly broken she was at that moment. So I decided to waste use (It's only a waste if I wrote this and you still don't get my intentions) my time to write this super long entry-cum-essay! May have bore you guys out, but well, you could have chosen not to read!!!! So don't blame me. He he he.

ABOUT ME
Hey there! I share about anything and everything here. You can choose to leave, but I think you should get to know me a little more before you pass your judgement. Check out my FAQ section if it helps.
Who are you?
I'm Naomi, better known as Naomi Neo, and I'm born on the 25th of January 1996. I don't have any siblings, but I'm grateful to have the best parents in the world, who love me unconditionally, and a best friend Trixy who's been there for me for the past 5 years. Currently titled as the youngest "Celebrity Blogger" under my management, Gushcloud - With approximately 124k likes & followers on my Facebook profile and page, 80k followers on twitter and 116k on Instagram currently.
What are you known for?
Honestly, I've no idea what am I known for in majority's eyes, but here's what I presume and hope to be recognised for - I've been writing on all my social platforms since 2009, and got kind of known from writing my thoughts and views on Facebook. My first blog post that went viral was an entry dedicated to my good friend back then, titled "Mothers," in late 2010. Noticing the positive results, I decided to take blogging a little more seriously in 2011. Since then, I've been told that my posts were relatable and inspiring to many, which hence, got me to where I am today.
How well to do is your family? You seem rather spoilt.
I think I'm just average and if you think I'm wealthy rich and spoilt, you're so wrong. I mean yes, my parents do pamper me cos I'm the only child, but I've never taken their money since 2013. And I pay for all my clothes, accessories, make up and 90% of my daily necessities from the money I earn.
What are your stats?
I'm a UK 4 or 6, I've been stuck between 38kg - 40kg. Since I've never really talked about my height, you can deduce I'm exceptionally short and I'm not proud of it - So if you know it, good for you. If you don't, too bad I'm not revealing it. :p
Are you single?
Yes I am. My last relationship was in 2013, and I'm not seeing anyone at the moment.
Do you photoshop your pictures?
No, I don't. Cos I honestly have no idea how to use that crazily complexed software. Ok, it's not very complicated I suppose. I'm just god damn lazy. I only use it to design my texts etc. However, I've been using PicMonkey to edit my pictures. Yeah I know, the main question's still back to whether I "beautify" myself or not. Er, I've no idea what's up with people constantly harping on this issue. The last time I claimed that I don't, was probably in 2012 (which I really didn't back then) But along the way, I figured it was necessary to "upgrade" myself and learn how to. If I can't do plastic surgery, at least make my pictures look chio what. If you know how to, question is, WHY NOT? And, don't you guys wanna see nice pictures too?!?! However I'd like to emphasise that - I do not beautify myself in all my pictures. I only do so when I feel the need to. And 3/4 of the time, I only make adjustments to my gigantic, elephant legs WHICH I admit, I'm very insecure about. So don't tell me my legs are damn nice la, cos some pictures are deceiving. Anyway, I've tons of videos everywhere... Judge for yourself?
Did you have any plastic surgery done?
No I didn't. Firstly, I could not afford to. Secondly, even if I do have the money, my parents are definitely not open to the idea. Thirdly, if I have the money and my parents' consent... OH PLEASE, I would have made myself look a zillion times better than how I am now. So some of you may ask, why is it that I have parallel eyelids. I've mentioned this before, but since some of you are too lazy to find out the truth - Fyi, I am born with double eyelids to begin with, I just wanted to have parallel instead of tapered eyelids. And in case you're really sensitive about it, I'm not saying tapered's not nice... It's just personal preference. In case you don't know what I'm talking about...
So yeah, I tried using eyelid tapes for about 6 months in 2011, and miraculously, have permanent parallel lids since then. I think I'm really lucky. Why do I say so? Cos it doesn't work for everyone.
Don't you think it's better to be natural?
Unfortunately, not everyone's blessed with natural beauty. And even though I've never claimed to be ugly, I've never claimed to be pretty by nature either. I won't deny I've been rather extravagant when it comes to the amount of money I spend on things to beautify my physical appearance, cos sadly, it is important to look good in this society today. You can read more on my views about physical appearance (here). And I don't see anything wrong with wanting to look good or better. Everybody wants to. If you tell me you value natural beauty, I'm cool with it, but if you tell me about your self-righteous logic on how it's wrong to enhance your appearance... Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.

Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.
Are you insecure about your looks?
Yes I am, to a certain extent. I believe you would too, if you have a hundred people reminding you about your flaws every single day. But the thing is, I love myself. So I've accepted that's it's fine not to be perfect.
Do you think you're attention seeking?
Most ridiculous question ever. My question to you is, are you not? This is probably my millionth time saying this, but I think everyone seeks for attention. The only thing that differentiates each of us would be the miles we would travel for it. From a level of - I want attention to Kim Kardashian, it's just a matter of fact how much you want it. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with it unless you're doing something despicable, and harming someone to your own benefits. Besides, no matter how much I love it - It may sound ironic, but I hate unnecessary attention. I only like it when it's for something I worked hard to gain. If you know me well enough, I'm not the kind who would go nude just to get myself to where I want. (Just an example)
How do you deal with your haters?
I've been receiving nasty comments since the day I had a blog, in 2007. I've seen the worst, and it came to a point where it amuses me, because I actually get to find out things I didn't know about myself. I used to care so much, I would cry myself to bed on most nights and I even had issues stepping out of my house at a period of time. However, it took me years to realise how stupid it is to reciprocate to what people who don't me have to say, especially stories/rumours they fabricate. I'm fine with constructive criticisms because I've learnt to take it the positive way - Helping me to improve and get better. Of course it still pisses me off at times when I see untrue stuff about me circulated around by my haters, and I'd either ignore it (if it's nothing too serious) or address it, in other words, stand up for myself (if I find a need to.) And when I ignore it, I don't look at it in a way where I'm a coward or I admit to it - I just find it a waste of time to acknowledge the existence of these people, when most of them are just dying to get my response from their juvenile remarks. Yet when I retaliate, (which I rarely do these days) I only do so when something's getting out of hand. Like if it's tarnishing my reputation or sort. After all, I'm a girl. And I wouldn't "just ignore it" if it affects my name. If I don't stand up for myself, who would? Then again, I don't think that means I care about my haters - I just care about myself enough to want to shut your mouth. Besides, I can stop 1, 2 or 3 people from talking about me, but how many times can I do so? Fact is, you can't please everyone. So it's either you focus on what you have, or waste your life by dwelling on what you don't. And for those friends who decided to leave and hate me for what others have to say? Here's a big... THANK YOU. Haha, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have realised who my real friends were.
Do you think you deserve what you have now?
Honestly, I've always felt that I don't in a way, cos of how affected I used to be about what people have to say - "There are better looking people out there," "You are not good enough!" etc. However, I've came to a realisation that it's impossible to be the best. Cos there will always be someone better, no matter how good you think you are. And as long as I think I've done my best, I don't see why I don't deserve to be where I am today. I've worked so hard for the things I have, and it's not like everything I have is an overnight success. So too bad if you beg to differ and think that a) I'm only here due to my looks, which I think is completely senseless, cos if it was just about my looks, I wouldn't have been around after so long - Taking into consideration, the ever-rising number of good-looking people there are today. b) it's bcos of what I write, cos I definitely won't claim to be the best writer. Somehow it's still a mystery to me why people still read my blog until today. c) and it's probably cos you don't know me well enough. I definitely agree that someone out there deserves this so much more than I do, but I guess it's true that life's unfair, and I'm sorry I have no control over it.
