Cherangsty: April 2013

1. That your body, mind and soul aren’t perfect, but it’s because of this that you’re able to grow and have a journey filled with learning and experiencing miraculousness beyond your imagination.

2. That you have been able to attend school. Without having done so, you wouldn’t even be reading this article right now. How often do we forget where we acquired the skills that allow us to live our everyday lives?

3. For any genuine friends or family you have, whether it’s one person or twenty, because even just finding one person to love, or who loves you, is a miracle in and of itself.

4. If you don’t have to worry where your next meal is coming from. Congratulations, you’re among the most privileged people in the world.

5. That you can access clean water. Because, again, millions of people can’t.

6. And the internet. You literally have a database of most (if not all) of the world’s knowledge right at your fingertips. There’s virtually nothing you can’t learn, research or find.

7. That you’ve known suffering and loss, because…

8. You have learned (or will learn) great things from experiencing hardship. Ask anybody who has been to the depths and back, and…

9. If you have experienced heartbreak, loss or pain, it’s because you had something that meant something to you. What’s that saying, that the opposite of love is indifference? If you have the capability to be upset about something, it means at one point, you had things in your life that mattered (and probably still do).

10. If you’ve never had to know the realities of living in a warzone, slavery, or anything else that so many of our brothers and sisters have to face everyday.

11. And finally, that you have the ability to be grateful for all of these things. Because having a mind and heart that wants to recognize what there is to be grateful for in life is half the battle, so be grateful that you can consider yourself halfway there. TC mark

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs

With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love

I got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk

Singing here's to never growing up

Avril Lavigne's Here's to never growing up is like my new favourite song to listen to in the morning :) Paramore's Still Into You and Hot Chelle Rae's Hung Up are not bad as well. But Here's to never growing up definitely puts one in a better mood immediately hehe. Not that I have been in extremely bad mood recently. Well why will I be in a bad mood when Year 1 is going to end? :) Can't wait to graduate, I am weird that way. I want to be paid for doing things hahaha. Okay maybe I will miss school once I graduate.

Oh but then there's still exams before I end Year 1. Really really want to do well this semester but I am always procrastinating :( Okay at least I made notes for two chapters of OB. #achievementunlocked. Okay okay must stay positive, self-fulfilling prophecy... So I shall tell myself everyday GPA 4.5 woohoo.

Okay for this week, there wasn't anything much I guess except for Biz Ops presentation. ARGH TRASH BAGS SO STINKY HAHA. Hope it went okay. Always suck at presentations seriously, always stumbling over my own words or talk too fast. :S

Not going to add any photos here, since there are on Instagram/ Facebook already and I am too lazy. -.- Okay time to probably do some more work instead of being a social media addict (as usual) But before I go, time to share some awesome stuff from Tumblr.

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
