Because I do not know what to post, but I feel the need to update, I shall answer this long and random survey. It’s pretty lame and overall dull, but I know you will read it. =)

 

 

Name somet​hing you are doing​ tonig​ht?​
Pulling an all-nighter. My sleeping schedule is pretty much in tune with Asia’s.

6 (if you count the hours that lapsed into the day).

Is there​ anyon​e you trust​ who you shoul​dn’t?​
Yes. My dad.

Is there​ someo​ne you can’​t stop think​ing about​?​
Nope?

When someo​ne walks​ out of your life,​ do you go after​ them or let them go?
Based on all the people who have walked out of my life (and I have not gone after them), I would say no.

If you’​re being​ extre​mely quiet​ what’​s it mean?​
It means my teeth are clenched and I am not in a talkative mood because my brain is overworking.

I will say 4am because I was trying to hunt for job listings for my dad.

Can you live a day witho​ut TV?
Of course. I’m already IV-ed to a laptop, so I’m all good.

Yes. I’d probably eat healthier as a young teenager and make wiser choices. 

If you could​ seek reven​ge on someo​ne would​ you?
Nope.

What were you doing​ at 8:00 this morni​ng?​
“8:00-this-morning” does not exist for me. There is no such thing.

Have you ever been aroun​d someo​ne that was high?​
Yes; I direct our very young Praise Team at church, and the drummer (my little 14 year old bad-boy wannabe cousin) was high (just last week). I wanted to beat him up with the drumsticks, but didn’t because I am one who practices patience.

Did you have a good birth​day last year?​
I think so.

Is your hair curly​?​
Naturally, yes, but it’s a pretty half-assed “curly”.

Do you like someo​ne who doesn​’​t know you like them?​
Um…yes… what a strange question. LOL

Yes! Oh, the agony of not being able to tell!

Mmmhmm. *points at self*

Yep.

Sadly, yes.

My bedroom.

At church and then at a reception hall (running around being a photographer).

A few of them.

That I am burnt out by overactiveness in one too many things, and a bit disheartened by a few other things.

At my grandma’s place, then dragged around to several grocery stores by my aunt before coming home to gather my things to go to church for Praise Team practice (followed by a visit to Pho #76, which I am tired of repeating by now. Why do I even bother with such tedious surveys?!).

random quote-of-the-day

January 3, 2009 - Leave a Response

This one is not so random, but more so chosen by me after clicking the left button a few times. I’ve been thinking a lot these days about the future while every other thing I hear is to not think about the future. Why is that so hard to believe? I like being in control, but control is hardly the issue here.

 

There are two kinds of friendship: one is genuine affection, the other is the inability to refuse.

Samshik-ah!

November 15, 2008 - One Response

I was just thinking how I’d suddenly developed a Samshik craze in the last week or so. It’s sort of calmed down a little, but I guess it’s because I hadn’t really watched every single minute of MNIKSS that I felt compelled to finish the rest on youtube. I have a thing about guys with proper hair, so Hyun Bin in his Samshik look was perfect.

Then it got me thinking why most of us are so hung up on the male leads in dramas. Maybe it’s because most of them are good-looking, and whatever they do invariably follows drama logic, which means their actions can be explained one way or another, which makes it more bearable when you understand why someone does a certain thing. Can’t be said of real life, though, when people hurt you for reasons you don’t know or understand, or maybe they didn’t have a reason to do what they did at all.

Maybe that’s why we like to watch dramas. Life is easier that way.

random quote-of-the-day

November 8, 2008 - Leave a Response

One of my favorite websites to visit from time to time is Generation Terrorists. It contains billions of quotes from all sorts of prose, poetry, songs, books, films, etc. I just hit the “Random Quote” generator on the left-hand side while thinking of myself in my head and whatever quote comes up, that is the one I ponder for the day. That being said, I just woke up, showered, and now it’s time to think.

(Ok, so I cheated cause I didn’t like the first two I got, but here goes the third one…)

Death is nature’s way of telling you to slow down.

Mai says:

and i went, “OMG MARY. I DO NOT WANT TO GET MARRIED. WHERE AM I GOING TO PUT ALL MY STUFF?!”

Mai says:

cause it’s good if you marry a guy who is independent and he has his own place and there’s lots of room

Mai says:

but it’s a whole different story if he’s still living with his mom and dad and taking care of them too (plus his own siblings!)

Mai says:

Mai says:

Mai says:

and then you bring all your stuff
