Lent

I have just brought shame to my own self: I'm a Catholic, yet I don't know the rules of Lent. My roommate who doesn't go to church knows better than me.Well, the truth is, I really don't know. All I know is that I have to give up something that I like, and I have to fast on every Friday.Actually, I find it really weird. I do believe in the existence of God, and whenever possible, I want to do more of good deeds than bad deeds. I agree with most of the teachings - to love one another, even your enemies - even though I'm unable to carry out the teachings...

Forgotten Dream

At time passes, I left behind my dreams that used to be one of my biggest prides in my life.I had forgotten how it feels to be above the clouds. My self-imposed modesty keeps me low for quite some time. No matter how I look at it, I always feel that there are always people who are far beyond me in terms of natural capability to excel.To me who doesn't really like comparing myself to others, gauging the standard is a difficult thing to do. The biggest reason why I keep saying "I don't know" when people ask me about my friends' grades is because...

No "Loittering" Pact

I had a pact with my roommate. No browsing of random web pages, no facebook, no manga, no anime... basically, our laptops and the internet service must only be used for checking emails, doing school-related homework, and listening to music.The pact lasted for 4 days.Now that I think about it, it was a big torture to me. It just shows how much I have become overly dependent on my laptop to serve my daily needs - to keep me from getting bored, to be specific.Everything's pretty much done in front of my laptop. With the Internet, I can almost do everything...

9 Words Women Use

I got this from a forwarded e-mail:(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. (2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. (3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually...

Lagging

I hate to think that I'm lagging behind the schedule. Unexpected things happened, and I'm back at the apartment at 2 am. My lab report materials are still messily scattered on the table, welcoming me, as if it's crying "Finish me up!". And I softly whispered back, "No, honey. See you later."Really. If you tell me to wake up at 7 in the morning again, I don't know if I can ever wake up. Give me a break... This week's been tiring. I know some people sleep less than me, and they may even have more stuffs to do than me. But they've been in college...

Sad Valentine's Day?

It's not because I don't have a bf. It's because there are less people to exchange gifts with.I like it when we exchange chocolates. At the end of Valentine's Day, I'd normally gather all the chocolates I got from everyone, took a commemorative photo of the chocolates, and savor them. Ferrero Rochers were always the first to be welcome to my stomach xD My next all time favorite was Time Out, followed by Kit Kat. Oh... I miss all those T__TThere were times I give out flowers, too. It was quite cheap to buy roses in a dozen, so I'd give each stalk...

Drenched!

Wonderful. The rain poured so heavily today and I didn't bring my umbrella.At first I loathed so much that the rain made me wet. But after getting all soaked from top to bottom, I felt so good and refreshed! It's pretty cold, though... :/Well, the weather's really really really weird. I've been hearing that January and February should have been the peaks of winter, but it's really warm now, as if it's around late August or so. And it seems that many South East Asian countries are being flooded, too.Is this really the impact of global warming....

Dean's List

Well... I'm in the Dean's List, meaning that I was in top 20% of my college.Which adds up to my satisfaction level, at least for now :) Even though there may be a lot of other people getting this award, it reassures me that I had done a good job last semester.I had fun with today's raw food processing lab. I was making a tomato sauce out of fresh tomatoes. I didn't imagine that a bagful of tomatoes gives only less than 1/8 of a jar. The smell of raw tomatoes reminded me again of my failed attempt to make a spaghetti sauce out of fresh tomatoes....
