Just a thought....
Is pride really worth not going for what I really want?

Just Not Home To Me
Last summer I realized that home just wasn’t home for me anymore. I felt that I didn’t belong there anymore and that no matter how hard I tried, I just won’t fit in. I feel too many eyes on me, judging me, just waiting for me to make a slip. True I’ve always felt the same way when I was growing up there, but somehow this time I actually feel the coldness of it all.
I dread...

Ho Chi Minh City
So here I am in one of the most interesting places I’ve been so far. The people are small, the food awesome and the traffic…let’s just say that everyone believes that they have the right of way every time.

First week
It’s been a week since I’ve been home, and seems much longer than that. Actually, what it really feels like is both slow and fast. Most importantly, it’s exactly what I thought it was going to be. I’m already feeling like I’m pulled into this whirlpool which I’ve been trying to run away from.
Still not everything is that bad. There has been some fun attached...

Going home
11 days to leaving for home. Well 13 if you take travel time into consideration.
I’m having mixed feelings about this trip. A part of me doesn’t want to, but I know I’m needed there. Only thing is that I don’t know how much it would be appreciated. I’m dreading this.
Home would mean a lot of sorting out to do this time. It’s not going to be much of a...

Trust Issues
Last night the boys were doing an experiment where you were supposed to close your eyes while the other person slowly brings something towards your forehead. When Tai wanted to try in on me I said no, despite him trying me to do it several times. At last he said I had trust issues. It doesn’t matter than he was joking when he said it. Truth is that after thinking about it - he’s...

You Belong To Us
From the moment you were conceived,
To the first time we listened to your heart beat,
You belonged to us.
From the first time we met you,
And you gave us a little wave,
You belonged to us.
From the first time you started to acknowledge
that you recognized us,
Me your sister, Mom, Dad and Edna,
You belonged to us.
As you grew up and felt all these pain,
We felt them with you.
When you...
It's Not Over 'til The Fat Lady Sings
It’s nice to having someone in the same situation.
It’s been a summer of problems. Not just for me but for the people around me as well. I’m not talking about problems resolvable within a short period of time, but those that keeps you staring into space thinking of what is to be done next. Problem is that, there doesn’t seem to be solution to these matters. There’s...
The Best Is Yet To Come
When everything seems to be going downhill
When nothing goes according to plan
REMEMBER
The BEST is yet to come!
I’m glad I wrote that down and placed it on my bulletin board to stare at everyday. I had no idea how much my brother’s admission to Montfort bothered me, until he got accepted.
I was disappointed and angry (yes angry) when he got rejected twice from the institution....
God vs. Religion
When I was younger, I used to place religion at a higher hierarchy in my life. It was essential, or so that was how I was being brought up to believe. My parents, my Sunday school teacher, the religious and the elders made me believe that God and religion came as a package in life. Without it, you lose yourself in the society we live in today with all the pain and trouble it offers.
Yet as I...

Never shall I fall and just stand up to brush myself. When I fall, I stand up and put everything behind. I do not find failure from it. I find a new path to overcome my obstacle. What I start, I strive to finish. No matter what it takes.

I have no idea as to why I’m feeling uberly stressed out for the paper I’ll be sitting for in 6 hours time. I’m positive that I’ve studied all there is to study, but somehow I just don’t feel the confidence for it. There’s so much pressure on this paper to do well that I feel like bursting.
This has seriously been a crazy semester for me. And the worst of it...

Exam Blues (pt.2)
I’m really trying to find some motivation to study. But after sitting the whole day at my table motivation just doesn’t seem to come =( All I need is another 3-4hours motivation for tonight before hitting the sack. Possibly a long hot shower while listening to Asmaradana. Perhaps. Probably. Highly doubt it, but it’s not like I actually do have a choice.
Sigh…Tai please...
Exam blues
At this point Thursday seems like a long way off. Still…there’s tons to look forward to so, trying my best to hang in there.
