i dare you to move

I believe in the good of mistakes. Whether our fate is or isn't written out for us, the only way to realize and appreciate all in life genuinely is to have been put in a position where all fails. There's always more than 2 sides of a story. Theirs, ours and the truth. The truth being the one we neglect because it's just human nature to be biased. But what good does it do when the truth reveals and we're back to square one?

Being ignorant to the fact that people are greatly affected by the many different phases in their lives leaves us to think only what we want of them. It also means being ignorant to ourselves, shaping things into what we want them to be and not accepting the fact that people need to do things that will never satisfy everyone they hope to. And that's a shame, because all that strength and ability for that one person to do what he/she wants to is completely disregarded. But that all doesn't matter as much as our own sense of accomplishment. Everyone needs support and the least we could do is listen and watch them build their lives in ways we could learn from and hope for the good to emerge eventually.

come down now

Chee had this brilliant idea of letting me change her Facebook password so that she won't procrastinate. In the end i gave in too so i'm temporarily stripped off Facebook for now. It's a huge relief. Okay that was obviously a lie, i'm really bored. I've been home-bound for 2 days just trying to get work done.

I was just chatting to a friend about diving just a while ago and it reminded me of the long-gone Sundays when my dad used to head out with his diving buddies. We used to tag along as kids and he'd always let us help with the boat stuff and encourage us to "explore" the sea. There was once when my brother was sea-sick so he was asked to stay and throw up in the water and on the other side of the boat was a humongous deadly jellyfish (that was undeniably beautiful) and still, all i could picture was a shark coming towards him. Phobias work wonders don't they? I really wish i had gotten my diver's license back then though. Right now it seems a little pointless because noone seems to head out anymore.

Also, i wish my dad's aquarium didn't break. It was his little getaway at home.

ughhh what is thissss. im going home soon yet im so homesick :(

Sticking to my relevant-picture-per-post and attempt to make it less depressing, i present to you a humongous dead jellyfish.

ten days of perfect tunes

Just the other day i was wondering what we would all end up like in 10 years. I really despise the thought of being fully independent because that would mean our parents would be starting to retire. Being dependent on them all your life doesn't make it easy to adjust when they're the ones that have to depend on you. No matter the circumstances, they're still the ones that put food on the table almost every single day and still can hide their worries. I know my parents and i don't have the same way of looking at and doing things but i really wouldn't be able to give them half as much as they have. It's a scary thought but we'd eventually be at that point when we realize we're on our own. I wonder how well i'd take it.

Back to less scary thoughts, the next two weeks will be a pain. Assignment deadlines and exams are creeping up like there's no tomorrow and i wish time wouldn't fly by. Seriously, before you know it it'll be the 31st of December. But after all that i'll be back in homeland hopefully scuffing down treats once i reach home.

I've got a few things planned and one of them is to be a couch potato for at least 2 days and indulge in very good movies (any recommendations?) or new tv shows. I really don't know why i'm still watching One Tree Hill. Okay, aside from topless Nathan & Haley's perfect relationship :P I heard Dexter's good. And yes, i do have less boring things in mind too. Like the trip to KK and my diver's license (which i know i'd keep delaying anyway but it's good to be optimistic no?).

As it is, i'm blogging when i really shouldn't be again so i'm off to bed. Have a great week!

a little peculiar

This has got to be one of the best performances of this song i've seen so far so i thought i'd share. I swear this blog is starting to (probably already has) become a place for me to dump my favourite videos/pictures. I'll be heading back home soon so definitely a proper post then. From now it'll just be uni uni uni and more uni then 3 months of pure indulging! hopefully.

Happy Monday everyone!

crunch time

I was looking through Tabby's holiday pictures and i came across this one of her watching her favourite Elmo under a boutique's clothing rack. Cute!

you can be sure

I was starting to feel a little down until this came along.



Definitely worth 4 minutes and 7 seconds of your time.

A little wave to one of my favourite girls, Feekscada! :D I was reminiscing the good old days. Miss you!!

Rant

If you've watched Jon Gosselin on The Insider, don't you think it's seriously ridiculous how manipulative the hosts are? They're not even in anyway involved in their personal lives yet they managed to expose how much Jon has in his bank account.

And a certain host was just disgusting to watch. I think Jon has the right to do whatever he wants with his life, his kids and their privacy is so it wouldn't hurt (or even take any effort) for the media to leave him be so he can sort whatever needs to be sorted.

It's as if they don't even realize that they're not helping him to set things straight but only stirring up more unnecessary drama. Poor kids. It's so uncalled for.
