i used to know you so well

Kinda wordy, been thoughtsy lately.

School's been the usual, uneventful drill since it opened, save for a few things here and there.. I've been especially tired this week ! Guess I'm still tryna get used to the travelling and the time I have to prioritize and all that jazzz. I find myself particularly happier on Thursday nights, cuz it means the longest day of the week is over and that there'll only be 3 more hours of class to endure till the weekend !

:D I guess I always tweet about this cuz it really gives me some kinda reprieve.

Anyway..

Happy (Belated) Birthday Twin !

Shant say much since I already have, only that I meant every word I wrote ! Including the threat and the part about me getting a card for my birthday.. (; Nahaha.

TBH, all the efforts were worth it. (:

Here's something that hit me really hard on that day's birthday.. visit, (since it wasnt exactly a surprise.) It was that the joy in giving is not in how the person expresses his/her appreciation for your kind act, but in the knowledge that what you did has touched that person somewhere in the deepest recesses of his/her heart.

(: Happy.

Its a wonder how doing things for others can bring so much more joy as compared to doing stuff for ourselves. Wellll if you dont believe it, try it for yourself ! It's part of what enables me to persevere in going the extra mile for others.

I realize people get uncomfortable when I'm silent for unusually long periods of time. (Or maybe I should say this occurs to most people in general)
Sometimes I really do prefer keeping quiet not cuz Ive got nothing to say or cuz I'm stoning (though sometimes the latter is the case) but I guess its partly in my nature and partly cuz I need the space to think.

Ofcourse, a huge part of the reason is that Ive got a slight (to say the least) aversion towards people who shoot their mouths off without giving a thought to what theyre really saying. Not that I marginalize them, but Ive seen how such irresponsibility has had an impact on people and its just.. ugly.

So yeah, I know I still do say dumb/insensitive/inappropriate stuff now and then, but I guess Ive learnt to talk less and listen a whole lot more.

It's interesting what you can find out/observe when you do that. (:

Been bothered by some stuff lately, and have honestly been wondering how I'm supposed to go about handling it. There's always the conventional, easy-way-out method called Not Giving a Crap, but I dont think God let this stuff bother me just so that I could ignore it and pretend it's as insignificant as a teeny ant crawling on my wall.

So tell me, God. What now ?
