Scrap scrap scrap

This is the latest scrap piece... nothing better to do...wahaha... Maybe i should really engage in some activity, or hobby... like yoga? swim? gym? pilates?

I have to start studying for my last 4 papers now... If not, i won't have a sense of security... Christmas week will be busy, CNY week will be busy, so many occasions to celebrate!

I need to do a couple of things b4 2009 ends... Ah! and i have to prepare for 2010's resolutions! Bought a super duper sweet+cute+meaningful calendar from perth for 2010! Can't wait to start using it!!!

Throwing a hissy fit

Never Underestimate the Power of a "Hissy Fit".

Life is all about give and take. But some issues can't be compromised. When the situation calls for drastic and dramatic measures, you have to draw a line in the sand, climb up on a soapbox, and protect the hill you're willing to die on.

It's not easy....anything worth fighting for never is. But the most noble thing you can do is stand up for what is right, no matter the cost.

The problem is your voice can drown amid the roar of the masses.

Once in a while you have to stomp your feet, scream at the top of your lungs, and throw a few lightning blots to be heard. Never underestimate the power of a "hissy fit".

Turning Ard

Ugly Truth

Mike: You're all about comfort and efficiency!
Abby Richter: What's wrong with comfort and efficiency?
Mike: Well nothing, except no one wants to f*** it.

It has been awhile since i last stepped into a movie theater...

Life is smooth and easy... I'm not totally enjoying it, cus i've got lots of empty blanks to fill.. But i'm definitely catching up on it.. and getting use to it day by day...

8 more months before i actually graduate.. I have lots to think about.. time flies.. just like a blink of an eye.. now, it's time to think about the future.. the pathway and the direction... But it's good, cus doing this alone makes it simpler and faster...

BGF - Best Girl Friends

Anyone who says she doesn't need a girlfriend just hasn't found a good one yet...

....But that's not my problem - I have two!

If you want rainbows, you gotta have rain..

In a perfect world, everything would always go right. There would be no disappointments or trials, and life would be filled with only sweet, warm, and fuzzy feelings.

But how would we know if things were good if we had no comparison? Would we recognize the blessings in our lives without having the opposite to compare them to? Without the darkness, would we appreciate the light?

Seems to me if we want rainbows, we gotta have rain. the trick is to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and go look for puddles to play in; recognize the tempest for what it is and train ourselves to look for the good in very situation.

By overcoming our adversity, we find the joy in everything. So go on, go play in the rain!

Interesting Article

Interesting article written by someone...

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it.

They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.

It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.”

Today's post:

Pretending to be a NORMAL PERSON day after day is exhausting.

William Shakespeare wrote, "This above all: to thine ownself be true." Boy, did he nail it on the head!

Alot of us go through phases where we think we have to be, act, and look like everyone else in order to fit in. I tried it, and it didn't work. Now i realise God doesn't want an orchestra of identical instruments all playing the same tune, so i let go of the status quo and decided to just be me.

Besides, pretending to be a normal person day after day is exhausting!
