Just a simple girl trying to change the world.

What's it like to live life with such passion. I marvel at you who can do that. To be so strong-willed about issues close to your heart. You, who live life knowing exactly what you want to accomplish. And at such a young age too. Hats off to you. And I always feel blessed every time these kind of people cross my path. For although I am not ready to be as passionate about social issues as you are, I thank God you have made me  feel like I can be a better person. Lets start with not wasting food and water shall we?

It's a good day.

Be the change you want to see in the world - Gandhi

What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise.

21 years.

It's coming to the year end again and even as I relish in the thought of growing another year older (not) and wiser (please), I get the old feelings of reminiscence again. Mistakes I've made. The things I can't change but can learn from. Mistakes others have made.

It's one of those milestone stepping stones you know? I'm all out for small stepping stones. But sometimes you come to more important crossroads. They come eventually. And like it or not, we all gotta face them. Like it or not.

And as much as I love taking one day at a time, I can't help worrying about the future. It's still hazy. Even after all this time. I love clarity. I guess it comes with the package of growing up and not wanting someone else to tell you what to do.

Am I ready? Are you? This is what slogging all those hours on studies have prepared us for. You better be. Well, I better be anyway. Hold your head high, girl. Never compromise your virtues and what you morally believe is right. One confident foot in front of the other. And, be a little thick skin.  Cause the world is going to throw stones at you. People are not going to like everything about you. It's so hard to please the world. 6 billion people. Impossible in fact. Even the treasured loved ones.

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for." 
— Bob Marley

It's hard, but it's life. Oh boy is it hard.

For the life of me I cannot remember

But I am open to listen. I don't always have to agree. But I'll listen. And do my best not to be judgmental. I promise. I'm not as street smart as I wish I am to refute every view. But, I can learn. If you are willing to teach. And not judge me in the process.

For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins 
We were merely freshmen

I'm young. But not stupid. My gut is still in tact. A little naive. But somehow, I rather be naive than bitter.

"I don't always know the right thing to do, Lord, but I think the fact that I want to please you pleases you."

Amen to that.

Life as it is.

Freedom never felt so good. I'll be sad to leave uni life but feeling so exhilarated right now. Watch our world.

Crossing every possible limb of my body to find a job.

And some prayers to Him :)

I've come so far and I do believe it's something to be proud of. I'll make You proud. Watch me roaaaar!

You just need Bon Jovi

I'm a sucker for any cover of Living On a Prayer. But I must say, bias aside, this mash-up makes me wanna be a rock star.

Morning laughs.

Queen of anything baby.

So, a friend sent this to me some time ago. He felt the need to add that he wasn't a stalker and he found this by chance. Haha.

But, you know, through hard times, come rain or shine, I'll come out stronger than I can ever hope to be. Because I have Him. Aren't I a lucky fille? Bow down and kiss my toes cause I can be the queen of anything.

Have I come a long way?

I was looking through some of my blog posts from 2006. Nostalgia on high alert. I might just cry. I might. Guess what I found?

I want no regrets,
When I look back on my life,
At all the things I've done,
I don't want to see a girl looking all forlorn saying,
" What have I become? ".

I want no regrets,
When I look at my friends of long,
At all the things they have done and seen,
And turn to myself and think,
That could have been me.

I want no regrets,
When I look back on the things of the past,
At my actions and words I never meant but said,
I wish to learn now and not repeat,
From all the immature mistakes that I've made.

I want no regrets,
Even when I don't always make,
The right choices in life,
God knows I've done my best,
So I can look back and say " It's alright".

I want no regrets,
Even when the road I take,
May make life seem unbearable at times,
I know the right choices ain't always easy,
So faith in God and stubborn pride
will carry me through such hard times.

I want no regrets,
When my decisions in life,
Cause opportunities to pass me by,
When one door closes, another opens,
So I just won't sit around and cry.

So right now as I walk thorough this life,
I'll strive to do my best,
In the years to come I'll look back and say,
" I had no regrets ".

*You know you are lazy when you start to recycle old posts. But these are classics yo.

Entertain me please with something witty.

I'm so bored.

Why people don't send stupid chain mail to me anymore? I know I said I despised them but I am bored shitless right now and I need something else to read. Right, I should pick up a book.

I have resorted to send old stupid chain mail from my hotmail account to my gmail account. I know you think I am such a sad case now. Even I pity myself. Life of a recluse student when exams draw near.
