Montaña

For no apparent reason, I just want to blog. Let's start.

Today I found out that RoQ is even more talented in doing jayus lines that I am... and he did it with a poetic tongue as well. It was done in a similar line with Sontex's request to his G.A., the difference being his (Sontex's) was more straightforward. Probably I should resign from my position of jayusness and adopt a more crunchy/corny stance instead.

Tomorrow there is the French class... it's in the morning, and I barely had preparations for the class. I could only think of bringing my dictionnary, and of re-reading grammatical structure rules before going into the class. I also need to prepare for my entrance test tomorrow. Guess things have to be done A.S.A.P. before forgetting to bring something important. Tomorrow I'll also be having a work experience.

Poinky's computer is playing up today. Having a personal firewall and a Trojan horse destroyer would actually be beneficial.

Aaah, I'm losing my passion in writing my blog today... I couldn't forget how I could act so foolish despite all I have learnt. Seems like I want a two-edged sword hanging around me. Aaaargh... *hides inside the pantry*

(I'm lost for words, apparently.)

OK, that's it for today. Hopefully something good will come out of it. Take care...

Si tu vieras fe como grano de mostaza
E so lo dice el Señor
Si tu vieras fe como grano de mostaza
E so lo dice el Señor

Tu le dirias a la montaña
Mueve te, mueve te...
Tu le dirias a la montaña
Mueve te, mueve te!

E sa montaña se movera
Se movera, se movera...

(Fountain Gate)

Finally, a short word on the whereabouts of Fountain Gate, the future home of Melbourne's first Krispy Kreme. It is located approximately 6km east of Dandenong, and it seems to be outside the reach of public transport and walking on foot. GAH. However, it is easily accessible from Princes Hwy, so having a driver (or my own probationary licence) would help much.

So much for Krispy Kreme 9__9;

Seasons Come

There were several things I learnt from yesterday's sermon:
1. A tree does not get angry/upset when its fruits are taken away
2. A tree does not eat its own fruit
3. A tree does not sell its excess fruits and use the proceeds to go shopping
4. From a tree's seeds, new trees will sprout up
5. Write your life plan in pencil.

Why do these five points hit me? Here are the relations between my life and those words of wisdom.

#1
This is something I am still learning. I conceptually understand the point of giving up, but not living it for real. There were some occasions I suspected I was happy to give up what I have because they would do some credits to my name, instead of being honestly willing to give it up for the greater good.

#2
I should not take unfair advantage of what I have, otherwise this means I don't do #1 (hey, they all are related.) And yes, that includes my skills and talents. Just to drill on what 'unfair advantage' means, it's when you use what you have to move others/change circumstances as you would a pawn.

#3
To be honest, I don't quite get how this point relates to real life. Nevertheless, it stays true in its literal context. I find myself doing acts of kindness quite often in exchange of something else.

#4
Seeing some works in progress, but yet to see trees. Or have I really? o.0 I wonder.

#5
I am [re-]learning to write my life plan in pencil. There were some out-of-mind things I dreamt of doing; I took some steps to usher these into reality, then consequently dropped them off when I learnt I was not being given the approval and support I yearned for. When these came into light for the second time, I am excited to burrow myself in the idea, yet I was afraid of being opposed/not approved/'wrong' for the second time. I do not have the eraser of life. Pencil marks pick up the paper's grains, which means working out what I can do most well of, instead of whining.

I got an invitation to do an entrance test for a corporate position this Thursday. It is what my parents wanted, it definitely satisfies the approval factor, but I am not sure whether working in the corporate world is the best way of life for me. I will do it well regardless of these issues because I love getting good marks on tests ^.^ and this will serve as a check-up point. Probably as a signpost and starting-point, too.

How could somebody be so stupid to not realise what one has when it was on hand, but was desperate to gain it back? Such is human nature, and that is my trait as well. Sigh 9__9;

Ah, enough blab. This must be alcohol-induced!! Erm, probably not. There are a lot of things I would like to express, but I am no wordsmith when it comes to self-expression. Hence this. By the way, we went to dinner and TGIF after xcell this evening, and apparently this entails drinking cocktails. Ultimate Hawaiian Volcano was nice! Guiness was bitter! When the bartender did the cocktail, I kinda froze when I saw the amount of liqueur he threw into the shaker... and more liqueur went in... followed by two to three times that amount in fruit juices. Phew. I thought I was about to sting my kidneys into malfunction.

Alright, good night everybody. There is a long week ahead 6__6 the temperature's a bit low, and a warmed-up bed is enticing me away from this. Heh heh heh. Take care, and have a good Sunday ^^

Seasons come and seasons go
Sun will shine and flowers grow
Winters come, and my heart's yours
For I will never leave you
For I will never leave you alone

(near gluttony)

I heard Krispy Kreme is opening in Fountain Gate, Melbourne. In July.

Two points to complain on:
(1) Fountain Gate is on the other side of the city.
(2) July is three months away. Oh well, it's not that bad '__'

Solutions to above-mentioned compaints:
(1) Drive/take public transport. Research your journey. There's, like, three months to do it :p
(2) Do some PRODUCTIVE activities, for my own sake!! Hahaha...

I sure am turning into a glutton anytime soon... x-q

Amazing

It often feels like I'm stuck up on a dead-end rut, and yet seconds later emerge almost unscathed.

After my graduation, weeks fly through. By this Wednesday, it would have been four weeks since *that* day. I've been doing things that can be conservatively simplified into "nothing much at all". I've been putting a considerable amount of brainpower into sketchbooks, soapmaking know-how, language lessons and law subjects (in that particular order.) That pretty much puts into perspective how I value my time ^^; erm, not well-organised, am I...

Back in high school, I have always thought to pursue art studies of some sort on a tertiary level. However, with the acceptance into my previous course, it was pretty much a dream material rather than a possibility. I am not saying that it would be better should the previous course had not happened at all; through those three years I learnt about a lot of things. Most of which cannot be gained should I chose not to go down that path back then. Apart from this fact, there are still many things to learn, which is why... I started filling my sketchbooks again. They will be of some use in the future.

It feels funny a couple of weeks ago I feel young in the sense of being one of the least-aged students to graduate, and also the youngest in the current DE pack. Yet, now I feel like being one of the oldest people to start again. Hopefully this dream is not an empty hope, after all.

Take care. This is yet to be a dead end ^.^

You paint a picture on the wall
'Cause you got a lot to tell me
But you don't think you can say it better
Oh baby

You know how many times I can't recall
I'm sure they made your point
But I just can't seem to remember
Yeah

And I know you got the feelin'
And I can't say I'm agreein'
With your topic of conversation

So just listen to the reasons
And the hints that I've been givin'
To the thoughts of our imagination
So come on, let me sing!
