Just Thoughts And A Random Update

You know, it's funny how one person can make your heart just jump and run a million miles when you just happen see the person's face. Be it a picture or the real thing. Some of you may know what I'm talking 'bout. Some of you may have not experienced the jolt you receive when your eyes meet his/hers. I still remember my one and only experience and wow, I think I blushed (I don't easily blush)! And it was just a look! Unexpected look, but still, just an accidental meeting of the eyes.

Haha, and that was like years ago. *pushes spectacles back up* (=O Joanna wears SPECS?)

On another subject, I'm currently into writing stories (again). Not new ones but continuing the one I started like a thousand years ago. This would be a good thing if only this craving happened on a non-exam day. Should I show it to you guys? I feel so lazy to read a book, especially the refference book on my lap, but quite motivated to write a story. My results are going to suffer!

Well, nothing much but study these few days. And when the exam finishes, a loooonnnggg article's going to make it's way to this blog right here! Now back to procastinating...

Why Does The Truth Hurt

Why is it that there is one person whom you cannot forget but that one person could forget you so easily. Be it a close friend, an ex, or a relative. I mean you find that that person is someone that just captures your attention and you find that you care what they think of you, how dumb you look with them, and you find how often you think of them. But how unfortunate would it be when they do not think so much of you than you of them?

For example, a really friendly, funny person just seems to click with you and you thought that, "Wow, she's so cool!" and maybe you would be good friends in the future. However that future just does not come because she just doesn't think of you the way you think of her. Or when you had a falling out with your best friend and you miss your friend so much you thought that your best friend would just miss you as much. But then your so called 'best friend' think only of you occasionally (or make that 'when he/she is bored').

Why so? Is it because they have been paid too much attention by others? Is it because you are just too pathetic to be around with? Or is it because they just do not care anymore. So why, even with this points in mind, do you still think of them? Why do you still care? Why do we even need to care?

You know, even when you try so hard to forget it; spend most of your time with other people, caring more for another than the person in mind, throwing yourself into work, etc. etc. the person just sticks in your head like superglue. It is like a plague you can't get rid off. Sometimes it just makes you wanna crack open that skull of yours and just dig out whatever annoying lump there is. And sometimes, it just hurts to know that really, the other person just doesn't care anymore.

God Is Everywhere

Here's what came in my e-mail. And I think it's a really good way to see that God is everywhere and in everything.




IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.



IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION;



IN PHYSICS, HE DISAPPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN;



IN ECONOMICS, HE DISAPPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD;



IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS,



IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING & THE END;



IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE;



IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM



SO. WHO IS HE? JESUS.

"For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:9

Valentine's Day

Since Valentine is oh, so near, here's some facts about Valentine's Day. Thought it'd be interesting.

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

There's also another page on the history of Valentine's. You can find it at this website. Hm... my comment? In actuallity, Valentine's Day is supposed to be some saint's day. But it had gotten so comercialised that now it's celebrated as lovers' day. Meh, it was a fun read.

I'm Healing!

The swelling on my foot has gone down!!! Woohaaha *goes crazy* now I just need to run away from my parents if they decide to take me go get x-rayed. The only thing to worry about now is my load of homework and my finger.

Hm hm so anyway, in these few days that I sat at home almost dying of boredom, I took some quizzes, watched some comedy, AND managed to find that really really cute cartoon I saw a year ago.

Introducing...

Pon and Zi!

I can't resist them. XD

Bad Day But I'm Still Happy

This is really a bad day. My finger hurts. I'm typing without my right thumb. It feels sorta weird. Know what happened?

School was OK. I had only 3 lessons the whole day cause the other teachers couldn't make it. I felt soooo sleepy but still managed to get through all through school with my eyes open. When I went back home, I saw a close friend of mine playing with him. I don't know why it even bothers me! After school was house meeting. We're supposed to do high jumps today. Being me, I would, of course, try it. I mean I miss high jump! I used to do it during primary school before I shifted to Puchong and even got a medal for it.

So I tried jumping and failed several times. First I hit my own thumb and now it's still painful. I think I might have dislocated it a little or something. Hmm...

Anyway, I tried another time and wowee I made it! but I landed right between the two beddings and sprained my ankle. It was sort of a weird moment at that time actually. I was happy cause I made it and the guys were being funny at that time but I also wanted to cry cause my ankle hurts and I don't know if it's a serious thing or not. So you can imagine my face smiling and frowning at the same time. I tried to make it more into a frown than a smile (despite the pain, I couldn't help but think how strange I might have looked and what a dumbass I'm being).

You know it's a lucky thing some of the guys there were athletes and knew what to do with my sprained ankle so I ended up getting a light exercise and having a sock of ice (yes, sock. We didn't have any cloth) at my foot. Now I had it bandaged by my mom and hopefully my foot wouldn't be pain tomorrow.

Huh but the strange thing is that I don't really feel... unfortunate. I feel like laughing at my stupidity and clumsiness. Mind you, it's not self pity (although I was wallowing in self pity earlier for something else). So yeah, basically my bad day but I'm still happy.

Total Coincidence

New layout!!! Nice? Yes, No? Took me like forever to get it right. I had this picture for a very long time, wanting to do something with it. And now it's edited and in use! Yay! Am feeling so sleepy now.

Anyway, on another subject, my big dog, Bobo got given away last night. Mom was buying dog food at a pet store and she met this man who was willing to give Bobo a place to stay. She said the man was friendly, had a big house, a bulldog and a hamster. Said that his house was like a mini zoo. So around 8 p.m, this pet shop owner came to get the dog and fetch it to his new owner. This is where it started getting weird.

We went to Puteri 8, and the Pet Shop Owner got lost. He went a round to find the New Owner's house. My mom urged him to call New Owner to ask for directions, so he did. It happened that we just missed the house so he did a U-turn and stopped right in font of Von's house. I couldn't even believe it at first. It took a few seconds to realise that Von's dad was going to be the new owner. Very interesting.

Hah! Looks like I can visit Bo anytime now. How lucky is that?
