I have just one sentence for you today, one of gratitude.

I have learnt that friends are such valuable beings, and I'm blessed with amazing ones, thanks to (especially) year 2010.

# Day 14 - Probation Over (:

14th of May

Saturday

I've completed my 2-week probation.

Want to know what I've learnt about making it a point to blog every day despite the many other things one (me) has to do in the approximately 17-18 waking hours?

One word: Interesting.

Bet you didn't see that adjective coming.

It's pretty tough especially when my head's filled with university work and other petty things, to drag my fingers across the keyboard. But first, waiting for the laptop to start up, then having to sign in, and waiting for the dashboard to load (yes unfortunately I'm doomed to slow internet - I think I've mentioned this before somewhere. Such a cheong hei person I am). (:

But you see, doing this makes me mull over the day's experiences, with amazing clarity. Sure I may not expose every bit of the day, but I combine all sorts of elements into one post to sum up what would have affected me most. This includes the people around me, who play a heavy part on my personal stage. When I'm grey and wrinkled, and my memory cells betray me, reading all this silly little rants/ small excitements / immature opinions can possibly stimulate my brain. How cool would it be to read about my own life - it would be like rediscovering old adventures and past encounters. I might cry because I could be missing such times, I might laugh because I would have remembered a thing or two and decide that my reaction towards whatever the thing-or-two could be had been so stupid, I might smile upon reading about my relationships and silently thank every individual for representing the different tastes and colours in my lifetime, I might sigh because nostalgia would have infected every particle of my aged being...

And really, it goes to show that if your heart is honest and your mind is set to achieve a certain goal, you can pave a way to it, and eventually, reach it. I know you've heard this elsewhere - other people simply say "when there's a will there's a way". But the difference is in experiencing it yourself, rather than just agreeing with the ancient proverb.

I think I will give myself a break from this project whenever my exams are a breath away, though. We'll see.

Meanwhile, I will bathe in heaps of determination to do other things as well. Of course, not too many other things. Baby steps, hey. (:

I'm gonna win.

"You Are The Moon"

http://www.ozarkmountainimages.com/OzarkScenery/2007Scenery/Scenery%20page%203/HarvestMoon1024.jpg

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact
So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass
I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky
You will see your beauty every moment that you rise

The Hush Sound

Was listening to this song and it made me think a little.

*Edit: Blogger was down for the night ! I left the post to prepare dinner (Frittata yo! ) and when I returned later I couldn't publish in time. Sighhh.

Hmmm...

# Day 12

12th of May

Thursday

I will forever love this song.

And the singer. (:

I didn't have to learn to know that music is the best remedy for the soul and a faithful companion.

# Day 7 - Courage II

11th of May

Wednesday

I've always been told that one must never be afraid to express one's thoughts. In some ways, by doing so, one is fighting for his/her rights.

It just hit me how timid I am. I've always known I am, but never has the implication struck me so hard until today. Everybody needs that little bit of belief in their selves, of course not excessively. But enough to have confidence in the body each self's given, with that sort of soul, and that capacity of mind. Enough to be comfortable doing something (certain things) alone, or in front of a crowd. Enough to feel accepted and to be able to trust yourself with others.

I lack a lot, and a lot, of this bravery.

That much I have learnt about myself so far...

On a random personal note,

Born this way.

# Day 10

Tuesday

Today I learnt that for a petite person, two layers of shirts and a sweater/coat ain't enough for a temperature of 11 degrees.

Mmmmmmmmnnnnnnnawwwwwwwwwwwww (': go ahead, make all the cooing noises, I know you cannot resist. (:

That's me by the way. I look pretty unhappy don't I?

Winter spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call.

# Day 9 - Crushed

9th of May

Monday

Today I learnt that... hard work does not pay.

Disappointed beyond words. All the time and sleepless nights. All the worrying and researching. Hands up if you have ever felt like this before. Or am I the only kind of species that gives my all for nothing. I probably am.

At this stage nothing can lift my mood.

So tired, so really damn tired.
