my best friends :/
Lately I have really been missing my dearest friends, Li Shuk Ming and Katherine. Somedays I just wish to hear their wisdom about my current situations
the pitfall of nomadic nature.
I tend to have a nomadic lifestyle. I dont really plan on staying in one place for too long, nor do I enjoy it. However, these days I am coming to terms that it makes people relations harder and harder.
I have a hard time getting close with people now because I know that I will be leaving them soon or they will be leaving me. Aside from that, it is harder for people to get close to me knowing...

I think scars are beautiful. It kind of represents a person’s past and their story is kind of like a river. Free to flow wherever it wants to and consume anyone that crosses its path. You want a real mind fuck? Talk to a cutter. Listen to them speak. Feel their scars. Sometimes they really don’t do it for attention, and hide it the...

summer travel plans :-)
My friend and I had the crazy idea yesterday afternoon that we were going to travel to Iran. At first kind of joking. He is a Malaysian diplomat’s son and he was just joking around saying “Oh, Ill get you a Malay diplomatic card to get into Iran, duh its possible my countrys pretty corrupt” However, then we started researching more and more and it appears that Iran is actually...
Joys of being snowed in
The wonderful joys of being snowed in.
My roomie is not here :-) That is the biggest benefit. If my roomie were to be here I am sure that I would have to go to the nearest hotel to rent it! It would be too horrid to be stuck in the house with someone else for a whole weekend. Shes cool and I but rather frustrating for the most part. Life is joyous when she isnt here :p maybe because I am strange...
Garden State:-)
Last night I watched Garden State for the first time :-)
It was soo lovely, I really enjoyed watching the movie and could relate to it soo easily. Keke. I dont know why? Hmm. Maybe I am a tad bit strange sometimes. Sometimes I am such a hopeless romantic. . Someone so serious on the outside is deep down a hopeless romantic. Yes. I am.

Once, when she was six years old, she had fallen from a tree, flat on her stomach. She could still recall that sickening interval before breath came back into her body. Now, as she looked at him, she felt the same way she had felt then, breathless, stunned, nauseated. -“Gone With the Wind”

the coming week ;-)
This semester I feel so much less stressed than last semester. I feel as though last semester I had too many people to attempt to please and now I feel a sense of relieve. I dont know why, but I do. I think it is because right now I have a sense of stability in my life. In the previous semester I did not feel that sense of stability. I am not sure why but I did not. I felt overwhelmed, stressed,...
Running :/
How is one suppose to get motivated to run whenever the weather is horrid and cold ??? I can not find the motivation to go running at all during the winter. I have even purchased underarmor and etc. and I can not find the strength to get up and go running. I can go to the rec center but cant go running :(
I am soo lazy, too lazy!
I do go to the rec center though ;-)

I’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind. - Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
In my life a lot of times dreams do not stay dreams for a long time. They become a reality. I can never just dream something, I always have to make my dreams come...

Love is always a good thing no matter how much it hurts. Even after it’s over, even through the pain, anyone who has ever really loved will tell you that they never regretted a second of it, no matter how much it hurt in the end. And if you tell me differently, I will tell you that you were not truly in love. ~ April Nizlek
hmmmm..today .
Today I broke up with my boyfriend. Hmm, interesting. I had attempted to break up with him before, but he didnt really accept it so today I was more firm.
He acted as though I was the devil, but I think I did the better thing. I ignored him and refused to really discuss being open to a relationship because that is how I felt. I knew if I saw him in person that I would just feel bad and to be...

Travel reflections!
I enjoyed my latest travels. It was nice because the first four days in London were so crazy busy, but the last few days in Ireland were so relaxed and we had time to breath and travel around. Take buses to different locations. I enjoy bus trips for some reason. Most people hate them, but I think they are rather lovely. You get a scenic route of the countryside and everything and then you can...

List of places to see before you die, Smithsonian :)
Interesting lists. I wish I had an unlimited paycheck so I could see all of these. However, that is what makes these sights special sometimes. Its rare to go there and not many people get to. So whenever you have the chance to stand at a wonder of the world take it in. Experience it. Think about why it came about. Think about the motives. Most...

Before I Die List :o)
I want to make a list of things to do before I die because even though I probably wont die tomorrow experiences do not come around often enough.
When I was in Ireland we had snow the day before we were leaving, but Katherine and I wanted to see the West coast. We asked the guy working the bus station if he thought we should go or not because of snow. His response was “No, I do not think you...
