To re-group, this is the last of it --

I think the presence of this space makes me think too much about what should be said about my life and what should not. It even gets a little old after a while. Also, I've been having less and less to say these days. This is a tempting space for some major verbal diarrhea, and I always try very hard to prevent myself from ranting. Sometimes, I really fail, only to end up taking the posts down hours later. Fugging waste of time. So I was thinking, why not just let this be gone. I have many things I want to say, just not here. But it's okay, be my friend and I'll tell you in person. Haha.

Before that, some last rants, rather related to the entire phenomenon of my life lately.

I'm lucky, I've been a child well-taken care of by all who's loved me. And through and through, I still feel very much like the same child. How do I break out? A part of me knows that the best way to get through this is to go it alone, where I'd have no choice and audience for complaints but to simply go forth and head it. As the Great One says (whoever that is), 'Sometimes you have to move forward alone to know exactly where your limits are and how much more you can push beyond it.' Limit, is something I haven't quite understood. I ask myself all the time -- just how hard is too hard?

Things have been strangely different since 5th year started. I'm not sure if you know what I mean, but it's been really strange. Like, I've been away from school a lot, and I've been spending a lot of time on my own. I don't know know why it is so, but I realised most of the time I have a lot of things I need to complete at home / by myself. Oh yeah, maybe that's why. Haha. Anyways, like I said, things change and people change.

Some days, I also feel undeniably detached because there are many thoughts that I can't be relating, things that I wouldn't even want to tell my mother. I'm sure this is something that everyone experiences. Keeping to yourself, ya know..it comes with its very own logic. Some things shouldn't be said because it might just make everyone around you go unnecessarily crazy. And some things shouldn't be said simply because you are not sure what is gonna come out of it.

Life is one big decision-making process, right? I guess I've been rational enough to get this far in life. But sometimes, the irrational comes along to shake things up a little to allow the pieces to re-group into place. It's really not a bad thing ,in my opinion. It's gonna be hard...are you sure? why must you take this path of all those that are presented to you? -- are questions that I'm beginning to hate thinking about. Also, the possibility of failing; I really don't want to start weighing in on the pros and cons. To be honest, it's such a futile effort to place any kind of judgment before anything has taken place. So whatever I do from now on, let me be crazy for once.

Which is why I prefer not to say too much these days, because everyone thinks being crazy is just crazy. While I choose to believe that, it takes a lot of courage to be crazy. And when you do grab the chance to go at it, sometimes it might even take you further than what you can see from your comfy throne. It's a risk to take, but if there's a chance to get far enough, it's a valid risk. Also, I am all for the good old-fashioned belief that you have to first plough through all the shit before it gets you to a better place in life. If I don't suffer all that I should be doing now, I will probably never get to see the light of day. I've accepted the fact that many people around me think that's just stupid, including my mother. But such beliefs really motivate me to want to go the extra mile. So I've re-found for myself the easiest way out of the hardest path -- say nothing so I can't be dissuaded, think nothing because it creates too much unnecessary anxiety, and just dammit do whatever needs to be done single-mindedly.

I'm just glad how seeing my friends live their lives became my biggest source of courage. Woman warriors and glue girls -- Sometimes I can't believe how each and every girl in this little group is so brave and distinctive in their own right. Such inspirations my friends are, haha.

In any case, that was the last of it.
This has been a great place to depend on for all my rants.
But verbal fireflies desperately needs to re-group.
We'll talk then, when we finally do get there :)

Love, Starbucks and Bentos forever.
I love you!

haha! chill, xtina a.k.a crotch. i meant --

When i was little i really loved anne frank because I thought she was so smart and courageous. Therefore i had wanted to leave behind a diary like that because i wished my thoughts were as engaging as hers, and I wished I could write imaginatively about my life. And like I said, silly, were my thoughts as a 11-year-old! I didn't really mean for it to be referenced back to her as a Jewish/holocaust victim... On hindsight, now I feel really sorry that what I wrote might have come across this way. Then again, I hate to read so much into the politics of her diary. I first loved it without such awareness and grown-up thoughts what-so-ever, which is a feeling I really remember and treasure dearly. So, it ain't scary! haha.

On another note, I know it will be stupid to say don't take the posts on this blog too seriously, but many of my posts, particularly the cryptic and random ones really have nothing to do with my life at all at post time. Sometimes, I feel like I'm writing for the imaginary characters up in my head. And this is not supposed to sound scary like i'm schizo or something. I simply like to make up story lines in my head. haha!

I had to LOL at twitter trends:

"The leader of Korean boy band 2PM resigned in September, and fans are referring to the intro of the band's album "What Time Is It Now" to tell him it's time to come back. People who aren't fans of 2PM are tweeting the time...

xDisneyLoverx #whattimeisitnow 2:30 pm here, in Brazil :D"

hahahahaaha.

And I know I swore not to post any 2pm pix.
But....
fug it okay.
haha.

I love two things in this world:
dorks.
and biceps.
and how awesome that they are both at the same time!








Please don't forget me!

Hello friends!
I think this is a hyper-hectic period for everyone.
I have to force myself to skip all gatherings and outings from now on..
Only because i'm really susceptible to temptations.
You know, once I start playing, it'll be distractions for me left, right and centre.
Gah, when I say I'm busy, I mean I'm REALLY busy..
which means I'm even busier now than when I was busy a while ago!

So while I'm doing this much-needed hibernation,
please don't forget me..
especially those that I don't see very often :(
I'm such a sucker for not turning up for anything
(AND I'M SORRY)
but please do invite me again next time!

This is the last leg of school.
I'm trying to make myself work hard in school and at work...
so hopefully I'll be both smart and rich when I graduate..
HAHA.
I feel like I'm getting too old to be hesitating about life.
(a sign of aging: when you choose to stay at home to sleep rather than be ot playing)
I can feel myself kinda bulldozing my way through everything now..
risks. *takes deep breath*
I only pray that more things will work out than backfire eventually.
this is rather exciting though.

Well, hope everyone is working hard too..
And please take care of your health (pangaimei! don't forget to eat!)
I'm laughing as I'm writing this entry now because it just sounds so corny.
Then again, this is for you all whom I miss madly.

peace.

These days, I smile at strangers so much.

---------------------------------------

Oooh, my security blanket...


...will define itself in the form an awesome new jacket.
I wanna wrap myself up.

---------------------------------------


I read The Diary of Anne Frank when I was 11.
And i remember thinking:
'I want to leave a diary behind like that. Please let my life be exciting so people will read it.'
Silly much?
