I love this picture of Shelley and Tobias they just look so sweet together!
I've been thinking about travelling but the places that I want to go are probably too expensive thinking about the air tickets alone, but there's no harm dreaming!
1. London
2. Stockholm
3. Paris
You're right, no Australia/Korea/States. Europe never fails to amaze me.
I swear i was thinking exactly along these lines while i was wheeling away time at Starbucks on my own a few days ago!
Marianne Williamson - Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
So, yeah. We are made of diamonds, and more.
When I'm bored, I blog.
One thing I don't like about holidays is that it takes away one main superficial purpose in life, that is to go to school. And with that it takes away deeper purposes in life, like the reasons we go to school for. Which is different for different people.
My ideal term break:

Silverstein - Red Light Pledge (Acoustic Version) - Punk Goes Acoustic 2.
The ending's the same,
past mistakes that you made,
come back to haunt you, you.
I made a mistake, I wish I could take,
back everything that I did.
I wanted to tell you, I really did.
But how do I explain this?
Promise me you will be there
Until the red light will change.
I would wait forever.
Promise me you will stay here
Until the darkness will fade,
I'd wait for you, you.
A mistake, wish I could take,
back everything that I did.
I wanted to tell you, I really did.
But how do I explain?
Promise me you will be there
Until the red light will change,
I would wait forever,
Promise me you will stay here
Until the darkness will fade,
I'd wait for you.
A mistake and I'm all on my own, I'll wait.
Wait for you.
A mistake and I'm all on my own, by myself.
Wait for you.
I'd wait for you... for you
I'd wait for you.
Was listening to Punk Goes Acoustic 2 just now and I realised there's an acoustic version of Red Light Pledge by Silverstein. Pretty cool. Yeah, I'm not usually interested in hxc but there's something about their lacklustre voices on these acoustic tracks without their screaming to mask their lack ability to sing metal of that makes the record feel that the songs're delivered in a very true and sincere manner.
And, talking about sincerity, I've been pondering for an answer about that. That is, at what price?
People now don't really trust themselves anymore, let alone the mere thought of sincerity in others. Which makes secret hippies like yours truly who wishes for fun, peace, love and joy on every birthday and has a life revolving around the philosophy of beauty in all forms and freedom of all living things a victim of this mindset of distrust and cynicism.
I'm not danger, I'm a leap of faith. Too bad nobody subscribes to me.
And today's supposed to be awesome.
Maybe they care too much for me. But, no, I'm not too good for anyone. Stop doing it, guys.

Persistent
[per-sis-tuhnt, -zis-]
-adjective
lasting or enduring tenaciously
Synonym: Perseverance
Persistence, noun. The act of being persistent. I know, right, persistence and perseverance are probably the most used words in advices. Yet, do we listen? The problem here is that perseverance is not just a skill we acquire like that. We firstly need determination to find determination. So nature or nuture? I don't really like going into this kind of discussion.
They key here is, usually what's cliched always turns out to be true. And I'm having problems with this persistence thing. I know how it works, and I had reaped the rewards before, but it's too easy to be contented and choose to be a sloth.
However, recently, I've been getting plenty of advices from many people, one of note being pohziwei (you guys know me, when she speaks, i listen). In fact, the thing about persistence has been preached worldwide, right there in the optometrist consultation room. Yes, the near chart that the school uses. There're Shakespeare and other worldly and influential characters quotes inside, but the N5, which in the chart is the smallest line, is none other than from Calvin Coolidge, the 30th or thereabout president of the US (if I still remember all that trivial facts correctly) and it reads this:
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
How very true.
Which brings me to another point, why do we say very true, is it even grammatically correct? If it's a truth, it should be a definite and shouldn't contain a grading scheme of sort. We don't say very perfect, do we? We just say perfect.
Perfect, like you. It's true.

It’s back to reality with the much anticipated epic week of the year out of the way.
And, as expected, I was completely wasted/gone/sloshed on Saturday. It just happened way too soon. Well, there’s no doubt I’ll look back and laugh at the silliness of it all. Still, that’s what all youth is all about.
It’s all about living on the edge, squeezing every social event into our calendars and taking things for granted and being reckless while trying to stay on the right side of the law. I guess it’s the moral standards in the current society that gives us youths an excuse to have lesser responsibilities. And so we behave like we’re on top of the world, and our energy makes us feel like we can conquer anything. Ah, how our past generation must have felt about their youths. The time and settings might have been different, but the feelings must have been similar.
So I guess it’s about time we bid farewell, youth. Soon we’ll all, if some of us haven’t already, step into the supposed “adult world”. The 8 to 5 life, the moral obligations and whatnots. I’m not exactly stoked, but nonetheless there’s this anticipation to what may just happen in the future.
The paragraphs were disjointed at best, but I’m too lazy to go back and edit. Because there’s something even more ridiculous than that poor expression of thoughts I’d just presented. Ladies and gentlemen, Nov is in love. This time I would like to believe it’s for real. So, Belle, if you’re reading this whatever mushy notes I write from now is not to another imaginary character anymore.
So, everyone has been curious and asking to QC the person in question. I know, right, I always disappoint you guys. But, no, there is no official QC ISO when it comes to love. How else would you explain people who love SNSD, or Miley Cyrus or even fishing for that matter?
My intrigue in the underdogs can be traced back to 10 years ago when I first started supporting Tottenham Hotspur. From then, I’ve always loved the potential and possibilities of someone or something that is not usually rated by most people. Who doesn’t like the satisfaction of getting on top when their back was against the wall initially? Nothing beats polishing a diamond in the rough into a coveted shiny stone. Like seeing a non-league team winning the FA cup, like what Spurs did a century and 9 years ago. Or the rise to stardom of a band previously down in the dumps.
Maybe it’s just this complex I have to prove the world that I judge/perceive things/people better, maybe it’s all those fairytales we’ve grown up to, that of the poor Cinderella, or the victimized Sleeping Beauty. Maybe it’s just that I see myself as an underdog as well. We all hate and love ourselves the most, knowingly or otherwise. Whatever it is, the pursuit of potential to me is always more exciting than pursuing finished products. Perhaps that’s why people collect wines and see them age instead of just getting a perfectly aged bottle.
Okay, enough of disguising questions that I have about myself into sentences.
Sometimes I like feeling small and speechless when I see you.
Ladies, gentlemen and beasts, let's get set for the most epic week of the year.
The same time last year was torrid, but the week has been really kind to me so far. What's even sexier is that the best's yet to come. Chalet tomorrow, Zouk on Saturday and I'll think of something to do plus some rest on Sunday.
Let the festivities begin! <3
