friends...thanks...

a love to give and a huge goes halve

Somewhere between the *procrastination* and the homework.. and the incessant forwards and the friendships and the calls to each other complaining about CrUsHeS and BF/GF!! Somewhere between the phone calls to old friends and the "I miss you’s", the "I love you’s" and the "What are we doing tonight’s?" And somewhere between all of the changing and growing… somewhere between the classes and the skipping classes…and the StUdYiNg for teStS…And the PRETENDING to "StUdY" for TeStS… And the downright NOT StUdYiNg for TeStS… I forgot–I forgot what ScHooL was all about. Somewhere between all the appointments, starbuck coffee, and Mc Donald’s… paying bills and then not paying bills… Making plans then breaking plans… Appearing, Disappearing, then reappearing… I forgot–I forgot what it was like to cry. I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn’t make you happy… And that pretending to be SmArT doesn’t make you smart .. I forgot that you can’t just forget the past in fear of the FUTURE… I forgot that you can’t control falling in LoVe.. And that you can’t make yourself fall in *LoVe* …. I learned that I can LOVE… I learned that it’s okay to MEsS UP…. And it’s okay to ask for HELP!!!.. And it’s okay to feel like crap… I learned it’s okay to cOmPLaiN and wHINe to all your friends for a whole day…….. I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can’t have and the things that you look for are right in front of you. I learned that the greatest thing about HiGh ScHOoL and CoLLeGe and the working world it isn’t about the parties or the DRiNKiNG or the Hookups … It’s the *FrIeNdShIpS*, which means taking chances. I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about… I learned that TIME and LOVE can heal all things… I learned that just when you think it can’t get worse - it does! … but with the love and support of friends - you survive… I’ve learned that when you start feeling BaD about L O S I N G touch and about those that you’ve lost! They too, are feeling the same way…. I learned that letters from friends are the most important things. And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better! But, basically, I just learned that my friends…….. Both old and new….. are the most important people to me in the world AND…….without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today….. So this is a THANK YOU to all of my friends… For always being there. And even if we’re not on good terms or we have lost touch… I will always have an unconditional love for you.. ~Always and forever ~

in an archaic mode

Erm, I have no idea what should I put there…hehehe..seems that I have noting in mind. initiate a new topic I guess? Erm..while writing this blog am listening to my fav song..ArvilL-keep holding on..thanks to Christ..i mean the introduction of this song….ah..bit sleepy..well, new year, new things huh?…so I can put my breath above all..sounds so archaic and am not too old for this … now am searchin for some online edu- tool..and guess what, I found a simple and nice poem here….i am in the department doing some literature project..it’s kinda literature fest..hehe..but it’s stil in an abstract mean la..have to wait.dudes and jazz, this is the poem that I have found..check this out k.. I love the last 2 lines that I have highlighted – keep holding on then it may lasting where ever ur breath is, for tat love, a kiss for tonite-i associate the word “renew” wit a nite as everyting wil be restared at nite before the sun creates other lifes for all seconds long, wil makes u poor if there is no more, for tat kiss a lover may restore, the death comes by, yet ur heart (associated wit the strand) stil have a name upon wat u have assay. Heart is associated with strand..why?yeah, strand has the same element as what a heart has..this combination makes both look flimsy .yeah..no specific parameter can be used to measure the sense of lack of guile in this life under the same sun. trust?is so subjective in anyway it can be…wel, these are only my some intpretations for that 2 last lines..i have more but yeah..u want it?then u name it…here we go..yeah I wil use this poem as my material teaching then.til then..njoy ya.






Edmund Spenser

[One day I wrote her name upon the strand]

One day I wrote her name upon the strand
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.
