Think Good Thoughts #2

I really need to post this to stop the bad in me from feeding.

THINK GOOD THOUGHTS - COLBIE CAILLAT



...
So I'll quiet down the devil,
I'm gonna knock him with a shovel,
And I'll burry all my troubles underneath the rubble

When I'm alone in my dark dark room,
I have to tell myself to,

Think good thoughts,
Think good thoughts,
Imagine what the world would be if we would just,
Think good thoughts,
Stop the bad from feeding,

I won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy,
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me,
That's how I want to be
Na, na, na, na

And when I start feeling blue,
I remember to tell myself to,

Think good thoughts,
Think good thoughts,
Imagine what the world would be if we would just,
Think good thoughts,
Stop the bad from feeding


Well, I myself have my own method of 'good thoughts'. I call it 'happy thoughts'. hhas When I am feeling blue, I will try to think of the things that make me happy. Let's list them!

Xmas, clear blue sky, funny-shaped clouds, snow dome, fireworks, stars twinkling in the night sky, soap bubbles, hot shower, good books, children in kindergarten, fireplace, looking at home decors, feeling soft breeze on my face, the atmosphere of holidays (you know, when the weather feels cold, and the the air fills your lungs, freshens them), wood cottage up on the hills, running on the beach, smelling flowers, wandering around by myself pretending that I am in an adventure, fluffy puppy snuggling in my lap, looking eyes to eyes with an elephant...

Huff. I feel so much better now (: I still have that fear curling down in my heart, but for now, I feel better.

I Hurt, I Write

When there are things that bug my mind, I write. I can't help it, it eases my feeling. Whether I write it in my cellphone, or in my laptop's Word, or here, in blog.

However, I am very scared now. Scared of something that I can't tell here (although I have 22-pages text draft in my cellphone). Do you ever feel such fear? That gut-wrenching feeling, your heart sinks, your stomach hurts.

I am afraid of hurting. For the last several months, I have managed to get rid of that fear. I have managed to remove all my safety net. I began to open my heart completely, smoldering down the walls I have built for years. I made my choice and threw away all the fear.

Now that fear is catching up with me. Mocking all the dreams I have faith in. Making me wonder, have I been silly and way too naive? I promised myself I won't give away all my heart so that I won't get hurt. But things are different. I am willing to give away all my heart knowingly that I might get hurt. But the latest event got me scared.

I am so scared that my whole body becomes so cold, I have goosebumps, I have tears streaming down my face, and I have that old gut-wrenching feeling back. These are the things that put me on a downward spiral, turn my 'self-destructive mode' on. I can't eat, I can't sleep.

You might call me a 'drama queen'. Maybe I am? But you'll never know what I am going through all my life. I have been hurting every now and then, that I am so scared of getting hurt even more. And the reason of me being almost irrationally afraid is because I have set my dreams too high. You see, I have always been a dreamy girl. I have big dreams, and even worse, I have faith in it. So if that dream shall fall down, I'll be down and crushed with it.

Now I don't know what to do, I really don't. I think I just need my bestfriend Amanda to sit with me and let me cry on her shoulder, but I know that she's having the biggest exam of her life so far, and I don't want to bug her with this silly fear. I need my boyfriend to sit beside me, hug me and tell me everything is gonna be fine, that he loves me, that this is nothing. But I too don't want to bother him with this.

So, basically, now I can only sit with myself, strengthening myself. Hopefully it will be enough.

And I am terribly sorry I give you a somewhat negative post right now. I hope it doesn't affect you. And I really hope you have a great day (:

Radio Family

Monday, November 14, 2011
Welcome to the radio family, Batch 10! :D

Last weekend, the freshmen of my campus' radio were welcomed into our big family in an overnight event in Lembang, Bandung. We had a lot of fun! And were sleep-deprived for we didn't sleep until 08:00 in the morning! :p)

Furthermore, in the Producer division (my division, where I am the chief! :p), we now have two additional members from Batch 10: Ochan and Phalita. We are so excited to start working together. I feel like a proud mama! (x

Pictures, will be coming up in the next few days. (;

Warm Xmas Decoration




Look at these Xmas decorated living rooms! They give you warm feeling, no? :D

wedding service dress

This is the dress that I would love to wear for my wedding service at church:


I love the way the bottom part flows, but I would alter the top part: I personally prefer more lace and less crease. :D anyway, I reaaally love the flowing bottom part aaaaa (x (btw the color would be whiter, the sephia color is only due to the vintage effect of the picture)

And this would be the bouquet I take to the church:


aaaaa looking at these stuffs make me happy (x

Guys don't have to do this all the time, but when they do, especially at the right time, it means a lot:

1. Saying "I love her" in front of his friends.

2. Saying "Oh, sorry, I already have a date with my girlfriend, she's going outta town tomorrow. I wanna spend some time with her." when his friends ask him to abandon his girlfriend and go out with them instead.

Hello There!

nyuuuuuuu dear fluffy puppy, I'm gonna give you hundreds of shoes if you would come to my house and make me your mommy! :p

Getting Married

Thursday, November 10, 2011
Did you know that I'm obsessed with weddings?? hhas Well, if not, I'm gonna tell you now: I am obsessed with them! hhas ever since I was a little kid. Well, what else can I do, growing up with Disney princess movies and barbies? hhas :p

I have always dreamed of a classical white-ivory-gold themed wedding, with small yellow christmas lights and white flowers with a shade of lavenders dangling from the high ceiling. I don't want the old, stuffy wedding where people only shake hands and eat and go home. I want a wedding where people can all have a good time together, where friends and family meet (and perhaps, there would be new loves blooming there at my wedding! :p), and I as the bride and my future husband as the groom can have something good to remember! Not just standing at the podium, having sore feet from wearing heels, blah blah blah. hhas I want it to be the night worth remembering, because it is filled with love and so much joy (x hhas aaaaa okay I become over excited myself. HAHA

anyway, here are some pics of weddings (not mine, of course) that I really love to look at:




I'll share more some other time! :D
Have you had any idea of your dream wedding?? You can share them if you want! (;
Toodley-o for now! :*

How Sweet is This?

Wednesday, November 9, 2011
sweet
via LoveQuotesRus

No, this is not from my boyfriend hhas
But he does do these kinds of sweet things to me. People always say that we can only value what we have after it's gone. I really hope that I don't do that. I really hope that I have cherished every single nice thing he has ever done to me, appreciated it, and let him know how much I appreciated it. I hope he knows how thankful I am to have him in my days, especially when I feel like the world is coming to an end.

And not just him.
I hope I have cherished and appreciated enough all the nice things, no matter how simple they are, people have done to me. I really hope I don't value what I have only when they're gone. I really hope I have told them I appreciated it. I really hope they know how much I appreciate them.

Because I do.
Thanks, thanks, thanks... for everything (':

Sandwiched Free Time #2

Hello again! This is sandwiched free time part 02 :p after group working and before class, waiting for lunch to be served.

okay, where did I leave you... ah! the national meeting for IR Students, where I was assigned to do the Diskusi Ilmiah, or Scientific Discussion. Meaning, my teammate (Elisa) and I had to conduct a literature research, make a paper, and we would also have to present our research in the meeting by the end of this month! (; Yesterday was our first trial. Elisa and I had to present our research to the lecturers and the IR students in my campus. It was an public presentation / open discussion, so everyone was free to ask us any question and 'judge' us! And thankfully, we managed to do that quite well! hhas (x I'm soooo thankful and relieved! Yaaay! Our only homework is to manage the time better because we were supposed to present it in 15 mins, yet we reached 25 mins yesterday. But don't worry, you can rest assured that we WILL be working on it! (; Wish us luck, will you?

And now, before I get back to class (hopefully the lecturer won't give us any sudden quiz), I just wanna share a few holiday-season-themed pics. I'm just feeling like it so much nowadays! :p

Enjoy! And have a great Wednesday!

PS. Ooohhhh, I'm just having this URGE to decorate my dorm room with Christmas-themed decorations! I'm so frustrated I don't have any time to do it! щ(ºДºщ)

Sandwiched Free Time

Hello there, everyone!
How's your Wednesday so far?? :D

I'm blogging now from a spot in my campus, drinking a fresh strawberry juice. yum! hhas just this bit of free time is a luxury for me. I'm so excited that I finally managed to squeeze in blogging between classes, meetings, and group works! I have to hurry myself though, because when my group members come, there goes my free time :p

Anyway, I'd just like to post some updates about my life now. The first great news that I wanna share with you is.... I finally dance again! whoopee! :D I was appointed one of the two trainers for a group dance, but as to the details what dance it is and what for, I can't tell you yet! It's a secret, soo... ssssh! :p I'm just so happy I can dance again!

Another great story that I wanna tell you guys is... the public presentation went well! Well, silly me, you must be wondering what public presentation I am talking about right now. Well, as you might already know, I am one of the delegate members for the national IR students meeting. I happen to be in the Diskusi Ilmiah

... oopssss here come my group members. Toodles for now, I'll be back!

Accents

Monday, November 7, 2011
I hope I'm not making you bored by saying this over and over again: but I love vintage-themed and classical-themed things. :p

However, it is related to what I'm gonna post today; because I now proudly present you..... (drum roll, please)
...my first post ever for the 'Decorations' feature! Hooraaaay! :D

In today's post, I'm gonna post about 'accents'. They are the things that accentuate your house/dorm/room, give your own flair to it, and make it unique! (;

As I prefer vintage and/or classical themed things, here are some accents that I would use in my future house:
accent01
baskets, wooden board with quotes, and look at that cute white thing beside the board!


accent01
vintage and floral pattern


You might also notice beside the accents that the color that I will most likely use are creme, ivory, light pink, and with a touch of brown and maroon... Yeah, until now, they are my fave ones for decoration color palettes, as they give a bright and clean atmosphere, but also comforting. (;

Do you like them as much as I do?
Hhas I do hope that this might inspire you if you're planning to redecorate or accentuate your house/dorm/room. (; And if you have any other accent that you love, feel free to share them in the comments! Leave your url so that I can visit your blog and see the pictures (;

Toodles for now!

Abroad in February? Hopefully!

I am sooo thrilled!
I haven't got the time to share this, and I didn't want to share this too early (in case things go awry or in case sharing jinx it), but... my NTU MUN application has been approved! (x

So, last month some of my friends and I made a team from our university to join NTU MUN (Nanyang Technological University Model United Nations). There were ten of us. And each of us had to apply to the NTU MUN committee in order to be chosen to join NTU MUN. If all of us make it, then the whole team goes to Singapore in February 2012. Last week, the announcement came out. Too bad, only the five of us made it: Marcella, Indy, Julian, Made, and me. The others are still in the waiting list, but they may be chosen in December if there are still vacancies. So, fingers-crossed, hopefully the rest of them can be chosen in December, so that our team as a whole can go to Singapore TOGETHER next February!

For now, I can only be thankful for my application has been approved. Hopefully all goes well. Fingers crossed. (:

The email from the NTU MUN Committee:

Please pray for my friends with me so that they can join the NTU MUN too, will you?
Thanks a million! :*

ADORKABLE!

Remember my last post about Zooey Deschanel?

Yeah, as I said, I loved her and was waiting for her newest TV series, New Girl, to be aired on Star World hhas and.... (drum roll please) last nite, it was aired! Whoopeee! (x

I watched it with Kecoakman, and though it was short (only 30mins), we had a hearty portion of good laughs :p It was very funny! She was very funny! hhas I love her awkwardness and I can totally relate to her character, Jess. We both love to sing to ourselves, act silly, and more. hhas

Soo, I'm gonna share a lil bit of the story line here with you. :D

Jess is an awkward girl. She doesn't really know how to be a 'hot girl' or anything, although she is friends with Cece, a model. One day, she went home early to surprise her boyfriend. It was the first time she was planning to do something kinky to surprise her boyfriend: she went home naked, wearing only a trench coat; and when she got home and met her boyfriend, she took of her coat, did some kind of an awkward dance with a pillow and a little bit of singing (it's Jess' own original song), only to find... her boyfriend was having an affair with another girl at that very moment. Yeah, his affair walked into the room at the last minute and saw Jess naked. The rest of the story is rather clear: they broke up, and Jess ended up with having to find a new apartment. Only... she didn't know that she was going to share an apartment with three men. hhas the first episode told how Jess and the three men finally ended up being friends. The guys agreed to help Jess to 'rebound' from her broken heart. And although the 'rebound' ended up breaking up her heart again (a called-off date), the three men remained loyal companions to Jess.

Sooo, yeah I am obsessed with this series! :p
I really can't wait for the next episode next Saturday (x You really should watch it, you'll fall off your chair! (;
Jess/Zooey is so ADORKABLE!

Can You Feel It?

Can you feel it, honey? Xmas is approaching! Whoopeeee! :D

There's just something with holiday season atmosphere, no? Even when it's terribly cold all day it makes you feel warm and happy all the time. You can sense joy swimming in the air and you feel like you can hear sleigh bells ringing in the air all the time (and I live in a country with no winter season, hence impossible for sleighing!) :p I personally always relate end of the year with holiday season, with Christmas, with family and friends and lover, when you're just happy for no reason at all! :D

PLUS, Bandung is sooo cold lately. It's been raining all day long for several days now. It makes the atmosphere of holiday season even more pronounced. It makes me all happy and excited and kinda lazy to some extent. hhas I just wanna stay at dorm, reading a good book, watching a ridiculously funny comedy movies while snuggling with Kecoakman under the blanket, and drinking chocolate milk all the time! While there are LOTS and LOTS of works to do. *sigh* hhas doesn't really matter tho. The thoughts of holiday season just makes me more determined to finish all that strong!

And this thought brings me to my soul sister, Amanda. She's having a big, big final exam this week starting tomorrow. And I really wish I could be there to support her and assure her that everything's gonna be all right. That nothing she had done would be in vain. That she can give her best and get the best too. I may not be there with you in person, but I'm there with you in spirit. Go out there and kick them ass, Amanda! Let it be heard, that you may have had hard times here and there, but you will never ever go down without fight! You will rise and make it! SE-MA-NGAT! It will all be over in no time, and you will feel relieved. (: You will come home and I'll be able to give you the present I told you, and we will get to spend quality times together! (:

Now, before I finish here, enjoy this, people: an early holiday 'treat' for all of you (:
holiday season
holiday season
holiday season
holiday season
to cheer your days up, to boost your spirit,
to remind you to hold on just a little bit longer.
For you who are having a bad time, it will all be over soon.
Good days will come. Or yet, maybe even better, they're already here. (:
Cheer up and give me a big smile!

PS. I might come back and bring more pictures with holiday season atmosphere (x I might even post my own holiday season pictures, or at least those originally from Indonesia! :D

Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel

God, I love this girl! hhas
I have always loved her since the very first time I saw her: beauty with attitude. I love that she is beautiful, and that doesn't make her any less tough. I love the quirkiness in her, that she has her own 'signature' in all the movies and the works she does, I love that she can also sing, and I totally love how I can relate to her and almost all of her characters.

Zooey Deschanel in Yes Man
Zooey in Yes Man

"I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal."
-Zooey Deschanel

She and I share the love of these things: music (esp piano and jazz), vintage, oldies stuffs, philosophy.. I, too, never feel that I am this cutting-edge girl, who is always up to date and always loves or has the newest things. I never belong to the coolest kids in town (anak gaul, in Bahasa). And from her profile -that I've read, neither does she. Like Zooey, I mostly love classical, long-lasting things. Like Zooey, I don't like going out too much, except at times when I really want to go and hang out.

Zooey Deschanel Clothes in 500 Days of Summer
beautiful outfits she's got in 500 Days of Summer, no?

"I don't really like to go out very much. I'm not scandalous. I'm not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing when you read about people and it's like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around. I don't want to be that person. That's just so embarrassing to have that written about you."
-Zooey Deschanel

Too bad though she is allergic to dairy. Otherwise we might hang out sometimes and have a milkshake or what :p hhas yeah, she just seems like such a fun and friendly girl to hang out with. Oooh, and I wanna go shop with her! Maybe we can play dress up and go to the theater together. HAHA imagination. But just look at her! This girl has got some serious styles, I mean it! And I love them! I love the way she always looks quirky and charming, but never as if she were trying so hard. hhas

Zooey Deschanel Clothes in 500 Days of Summer

Now I just can't wait till her new series is aired on StarWorld Asia. I'm gonna have her every week on my TV screen! (x

So, it's obvious, no? I am officially obsessed with Zooey Deschanel.

Zooey Deschanel Clothes in 500 Days of Summer
"The fact that people are associating being girlie with weakness--that needs to be examined...Are we bitches because we have our own opinions? If that makes me a bitch, or that makes women bitches, then maybe we're all bitches."
-Zooey Deschanel

In The ER

Last Thursday (10/27), I was brought into the ER (Emergency Room) in St Boromeus Hospital. My fever wouldn't come down since last week, I kept vomiting, and my diarrhea wouldn't get better. So, my boyfriend Kecoakman rushed me to the hospital, but the clinic was closed already. Hence, we were transferred to the ER. I was infused with two bags of infusion liquid (i don't know what it's called) and I got a shot for my stomach (another term for lambung). The doctor first recommended me to be hospitalized but I said NO right away, horrified about my undone works piled.

So, yeah.. I am feeling so much better now (: I really have to say thanks to everyone who has shown me great loves and cares.. I really love you all, guys (:

May God always bless you all!
Stay healthy everyone! :D


PS. You might wonder though, cos on the day I was supposed to be in the ER, I instead posted two blog posts. How come? hhas to keep my blog running well, I am now using the 'Scheduled Post' feature on Blogspot. That helps me maintaining a frequent posting even though I'm not around at the time. (;

moving, dancing, being free

Thursday, October 27, 2011
One of the things that I miss the most about having free time is: dancing.

Photobucket

Yes, dancing. I'm not one hell of a dancer like you might see on 'So You Think You Can Dance', but I do love dancing. I've been dancing since I was in kindergarten! Both traditional dances and modern dances. I might not be THAT good, but, I don't mind repeating myself, I DO love dancing. And I miss it. A LOT.

I tried practicing a routine from SNSD newest MV 'The Boys' (gosh I LOVE THEM! the new song is sooo cool, I can't stop playing it on repeat :p) a few times during my 'medical leave' (I took a few days off, *supposedly* bed resting). But.. as you probably can guess, it just made my condition worse. Because of that, my boyfriend Kecoakman banned me from practicing again for a few days. BUUUUUT... if I've felt well enough already then I would have to get back to college and the piles of work I left during sick, and this would mean.. no more free time for dancing.. *pout*

I've mentioned before that my activities have been consuming all my times lately, right? Yeah, even my health. :p And I can't lie that I don't miss all the 'luxury' I can have with just a little bit of free time: day-dreaming, reading a good book, watching a good movie, dancing... I really wish that I can have a group of friends who love dancing to the same level as I do, that is not dancing because we've paid for it, or must do it because we have a competition coming up, or having to do it regularly three times a week because we have to, but simply... we dance because we love it. And we may not always have the time to dance intensively, but when we do, we'll practice a routine together. *sigh*

Photobucket

Gosh, I miss those moments..
Can I just find someone who is feeling the way I do now, what with the tight schedule and the miss of dance? I know it's actually my own problem: I just can't find a way to cut any of my activities..

Photobucket

a drop

HELLO THERE, PEOPLE! Oh my God, it's just been TOO long, hasn't it? I'm terribly sorry.. *putting on puss-in-boots eyes* hhas I just have too much going on and I couldn't find the time to blog.. Sorry.. ): I'm also sad to see my blog not running well.. But let's hope it'll get better, 'kay? :D

Anywayyyy....
yo there dawg, 'sup???? :p *does the ghetto style suit me well?*
hhas okay, okay, I know I'm too much of a nerd to be cool, no? But doesn't matter! I am proud to be a nerd! I can be a hot chick as well as a smart nerd, yeah! :p hhas I don't know what's wrong with me, rambling rambling rambling, sorry. :p

OKAY. To the important stuff,
one of the reasons I didn't blog for so long is.. because I got sick. Yeahh, I went to the hospital last week, got my blood sample taken, and I was diagnosed as having the symptoms of typhoid. Meaning, I SHOULD have got some rest, but.. you know me, work work work and no rest. Hence, a low drop last Monday. My condition got worse for at least three days: I got fever, I felt feverish all the time (feeling cold no matter how hot the weather and my body were), plus add the slightest touch of diarrhea (thankfully the last one didn't last long). Being sick sucks! hhas I could barely eat anything, I ran back and forth to the restroom, my whole body hurt..

I am so lucky to have my amazing boyfriend, Kecoakman, taking after me night after night through that horrible sickness *blurgh I hate being sick* and I am so, so lucky to have beautiful friends sending their loves to me, lifting my spirit so that I am pumped to recover really soon! (: I love you all.. You are all my sunshine :*

PS. btw, I just got myself a haircut last Saturday hhas and I MIGHT alter it further, but I'm still not so sure. gonna share some pics later, either I actually do it or not :p but later! I'm so excited!

GINTRE - fin

Tuesday, October 18, 2011
It's been a few days now, but I just really got the time to write this, but.. GINTRE (Gathering and Introducing International Relations) 2011 is officially over! :'D

Yeah, we finally made it! Last Sunday, 16 Oct 2011, was the day of GINTRE 2011. I might have mentioned it, but I'd rather take the extra mile just to be sure, so I'll explain just a little bit about GINTRE. It is an annual event held by the third semester Int'l Relations (IR) students in my university, which is dedicated for the IR freshmen so they can experience being a 'real' diplomat and practice their diplomacy skill. The event consisted of an MUN (Model United Nations - which is a simulation of a UN assembly), talk show, and mascots fashion show.

Photobucket
Matter&Research Division - just before the assembly started

I happened to be the head of the Matter&Research Division, which is in charge of organizing and socializing the materials for the MUN. The theme for the MUN this year is 'humanitarian intervention', and so the assembly was titled "29th Special Session of United Nations General Assembly: Redefining the Implementation of the Humanitarian Intervention (with Regards to Human Rights, Sovereignty, and Responsibility to Protect)".

Photobucket
Photobucket
some of the Matter&Research Division members - watching from above :p

And... it came up as a great success! *insert standing ovation and happy tears*
I am so, so, SO PROUD of the freshmen. They managed to do so well at the MUN! They are so active and participative, the content of their speech was beyond our (the Matter&Research Division's) expectation.. it's... WOW! It felt like all the hard work we've been putting in is all WORTH IT. Yaaaaay! °•(>̯┌┐<)•°

After the assembly concluded to an end, the talk show with some of the alumni (who've been successful and working in important places like Foreign Dept and ASEAN - wow!) began. It was such an interesting talk show. And when it finally ended, the excitement of the mascots fashion show began!

Photobucket
the mascots of Russia

So, every delegate must have two people dressing up as their country's mascots. In the fashion show, they would walk the catwalk, posed, and promoted their country in 2 mins. They were all so good, and some of them were just plain HILARIOUS! hhas all the people were just so pumped up.

And after that, came the rather sad and touching end. The head of the committee called all the divisions one by one to say good bye in their own way (e.g. dancing, making silly moves, etc.) to the freshmen. This concluded all the hard work of the committee, and this also meant that our work as the committee is officially over :'D huaaaaa I have this kinda love-hate relationship with this kinda feeling: a mixed feeling between happy, proud, relieved, and sad as an event and my work as one of the committee member ends...

Photobucket
heads of the divisions - 2 missing

I had a great time working with you guys.. (': you are the most amazing people and I can't ask for better partners! And also.... my lovely 'Matterians' (the name I invented to call the members of Matter&Research Division)! It has been amazing, wonderful 6 months working with you. I can never thank you enough for this amazing opportunity (': oh well, now I'm getting emotional (':

Photobucket
my IR besties ♥

To conclude this, I just wanna say that I am beyond happy to have known you guys and to have worked with you guys, both the committee and the 2011 freshmen (: Just remember, our journey in the IR Department is not over yet! Let's keep up this outstanding performance and finish up later (soon, hopefully) STRONG! :D

I love you, people.. I really am looking forward for the next opportunities working with you all. (; Toodles! And cheers to GINTRE 2011! (We're on KOMPAS -a national-wide newspaper-, people! UH-HUH!) :D

happy happy birthday, mom!

Photobucket

Hippsy blastday, my beloved mom! :*

As you might've guessed, today is my mom's birthday! And I feel bad because I can't be with her today in Jakarta, because I still have classes.. *sigh* Well.. but I have sent her a package containing a red gorgeous top and a sweet card with our pic on it, and I really do hope she likes it! *fingers-crossed*

So, with all my heart, Mom, i wanna wish you a happy birthday, and may all the blessings be poured unto you.. I am so thankful for you, for everything you have done for me, for fighting for me ever since Dad passed away.. I know Papa will be so proud (': Don't worry, Mom, I'll meet you this weekend and give you huge kisses and hugs! God bless you (':

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

Name in the Offing

Friday, October 14, 2011
It was a sticky moment: Harry knew that she had sensed Ron's name in the offing.
-Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

When someone tells you a story, which is an interesting story for her/him, but also in which relating to someone (for example, that particular person is the one who told her/him this story in the first place) that you don't like or have problem with, sometimes they would just 'omit' that person's name from their story. It is not rarely that we, when we hear that story from her/him, can feel something is missing. And when we want to clarify it, for example, we ask, 'Who told you this?' The conversation becomes awkward and the one who is telling you just turn their eyes away from yours, as they mumble the answer 'Just a friend of mine', or worse, just ONE unanswering word at all, 'Friend.'. And from there after, she/he would just ignore our further questions if it is anywhere related to the topic. Hmm. Yep, it is definitely just like what's been said in Harry Potter, "It was a sticky moment: Harry knew that she had sensed Ron's name in the offing."

Hhas and then you wonder. What is the reason behind the offing? Is it to respect you, to avoid you from being in a bad mood because she/he mentions the 'forbidden name'? But then you think, "No one forbade anything, I certainly did not." And you wonder again... Is it because she/he doesn't want you to know that they still contact and have talks with the 'particular person whose name is in the offing'? Because if it is the matter, it just gets you even more upset. Because if she/he had just mentioned the 'particular person's name' casually, it would not have been a matter at all! But since she/he decided to make off this particular person's name, you just can't help keeping wondering then: What happened? What is in there that I can not know? What is your exact reason for doing that? Why don't you just mention that particular person's name? Do you really think that I am so selfish or weak that I just can't take it being mentioned? What? Why? What if...

Hhas have you ever experienced such things? It sucks, right? And no matter how much you try not to care, you still do. (or is it just me?) Hhas

So anyone, if you're planning on telling someone a story, that is interesting for you but containing someone that the one you're telling has problem with, you'd better just mention his/her name casually. When a name is in the offing? It's not cool. AND WE ALWAYS KNOW IT. It is a sticky moment, you don't wanna get stuck in it. (;

So, adios, amigos! I'm outta here.
Talk to you later!

Hello, Goodbye

Thursday, October 6, 2011
Hiiyaa there, everyone! :D
Long time no talk! I am terribly sorry (yet, again) for the absence. But my schedule is just really crazy. Plus, I'm having my mid exams, so.. (;

Anyway, today I just heard the most shocking thing: Steve Jobs, the Apple founder and former CEO, passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. It really came to me as a surprise. So I thought, I would like to post something to tribute him and his work. And most wonderfully, by some kind of trick of fate and coincidence, a few days ago, I just received a package. A package with an iPod Shuffle in it. Which means, finally, I have my first Apple product (':

So, you might wonder how come I suddenly got a package with an iPod Shuffle in it (just say yes, you do! :p). Well, as a matter of fact, I got it from Sunsilk. A close senior of mine was in the Sunsilk Goes to Paris competition, and I gave a testimonial to support her on the website. And without knowing it beforehand, Sunsilk picks 3 persons who gave the best testimonial every biweekly to receive a special gift. And, here I am! With an iPod Shuffle on my hand, and in my favorite color (fuchsia) as well! HAHA they're so good at guessing my fave color :p

So, with an iPod on my hand, music in my ears, and news on Steve Jobs everywhere on the internet, let me just say, 'Hello, my new fuchsia friend' and 'Good bye, Steve Jobs'. The world lost a great man today, but thanks to you, I got a new great friend. (': May you rest in peace.

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” -Steve Jobs

I am trying to live by these words of yours; it's a constant battle I am in everyday. I hope I am strong enough and become a winner; who is crazy enough to believe not only in herself, but also in the vision that she can actually change the world, and finally ending up really does. Just like you.
