and seriously, who don't ? Back then life was much simpler. Remember how some relatively basic things gave you the utmost happiness? I remember being whacking delighted when a friend merely offered me a sheet of seaweed snack. This scene of innocence has been sweetly secured in my memory for over 9 years and supposedly will never be unlocked. Somehow if you now give me a sheet, I will say, is it even COUNTABLE? hahahaha *kidding* but that conveys much of how childhood is -benevolent, minus malicious- , yet how weird people grow up along with changes in the way of thinking.

Frankly I was some kind of hypersensitive child. Since I got to remember things, I've been crying a lot for the virtue others have done for me. For instance when my mom bought me a huge doll for my 10th birthday, I cried ._. actually without her knowing and certainly the tears of happiness. Weird? You judge.

Anyway, I used to answer "teacher" when questioned for my dream job. A typical child's. And I thought it was ONLY a child's before a friend told me recently that he wanted to be a teacher. And I was like W O W. Is it just him or many people really want to? or perhaps it's me not having met many.

more or less a post :)

emm... things.

the report card was out today. as I didn't study well last semester plus the adjustment to ESSAY TESTS (which I detest very much), I was not expecting for a good result. My rank turned out not that bad actually, but inadequate for me. remember "Compete with yourself" ? hahahaha I know my limits and I know I could do better, so yeah gotta make a progress this ongoing term :D

I'm not posting much nowadays -.- even Saturdays and Sundays haven't been friendly to me.

There're two things in life you must not hesitate to do :

1. taking the chance of doing good deeds

2. Be filial to our parents

got this from a sermon at the Sunday class I attended yesterday. very good one ♥

another new year :)

yesterday's new year I joined another BLIA YAD's event, the Old n New party in Brastagi, and I can say I had the greatest one ever ! :)

such a memory :) love ya !

P.S. school starts tomorrow W O W

Merry Christmas !

got a picture message from Grisella this afternoon :

Love ya too Gris :*

I feel lucky

*been a 3-month vacuum huh?*

Look at this quote we may always hit on, whether in the movies, books, or social networking sites : "My mother is the best mother in the world" or "My father is the best father in the world". As I noticed they're used very often, I thought it's just another "poetic" quote to show respect, love, bla3 to our parents. The other day I found it awkward. Yeah commonly people get only ONE father and ONE mother don't they? And of course, my parents are the best in the world (because I don't have other ones ?). Isn't it so? It's like saying becak is the most modern form of transportation when you never know the airplane. I thought the inventor or composer or poet or whoever started this quote was unintelligent. How could something which is already so obvious be made into a quote and yet people use it all the time to show how great their own mothers and fathers are.

(P.S. Of course this was just a random thought or probably a thought to think about when I felt like being a jobless professor :P )

Nevermind then, quotes like those aren't important. What matters is how we actually treat our parents, true?

But then.....to think about it again...It's ONE which means you can't compare with anybody else..... Jrenggg i got the point. It isn't to imply the selfishness of saying that only my parents are the best...instead, it is to tell that each one's parents are incomparable. Everyone's are the best ! In fact there's no way to compare, every parent loves their children, it's the way that differs. Well at least that's what I thought it means later on.

The same understanding applies for the other things, one of which : life. Our own life is the best. And we ain't supposed to envy others'. There was a time when I used to envy much of others' life. In my eyes, the great, famous, successful person, or even an ordinary person, they all had their own forte and no matter how, I'd always always be a small fry, not more. It turned out wrong. If everyone has "something", does it mean I don't? here is another quote, good one :

Beethoven was a great composer and pianist, he began to lose his hearing at his 20s and was completely deaf at 40s, yet he still managed to compose his music. Edison had gone through thousands of experiments before he finally invented the light bulb. See? We won't know the hardship someone has gone through before achieving a feat. We won't know if there's sorrow behind someone's smile. Again, we won't know how lucky we are before we stop envying others' life. Ever since i learnt to practice this theory in life, I have lived much happier. One's strength isnt't to be envied, it's to motivate ourselves to be a better person.

P.S. Anyway, unless you act upon it, feeling motivated is useless :)
