Oh life, why must you be so cruel. [ Wednesday July 15, 2009 ] I learned a lesson that I forgotten a while ago. When someone offers to do something for you, accept their offer but never accept with the expectation that they'll acutally complete the task for you. Because when they don't, you can't blame them but you'll end up laughing at yourself for being so stupid and trusting them. Wow mom, way to break my hopes time and time again. I should have known to never placed any hope when you offered to pay for my fencing fees. This is so amusing and depressing at the same time. Well, crunch time, got to find a job in the next two months or I have to quit fencing. Great, it's one of the only activity that I enjoy these days. But hey, I guess what they say is true. You got to work for what you want. Guess I've a been spoiled lately. 0

Nerdness [ Thursday April 16, 2009 ] I'm in the middle of studying for my geology exam and I thought of something interesting. When I was small, I remembered when I watched TV and heard corny lines like "oh, having a (enter some physical characteristics that you dislike about yourself) is fine, it's what makes you special" from some cartoon shows for kids and whenever I heard that, I rolled my eyes at how fake it sounded back then. It's funny how those type of lines were suppose to encourage kids to accept and love their flaws but it never worked for me, but anyways to the point. In my geology notes, it talked about the physical properties of minerals and one of the properties is colour. Like human, minerals of the same kind does not look alike at times. Their colour differed at times due to having the wrong atom in the structure, or having a higher % of a certain element in a mineral. Therefore, that kind of makes every mineral different unique in a sense, as the % of element would always differ. This made me relate to human beauty for reason. I mean, in the society today, beauty is basically, following a certain standard. It ranged from being super skinny, being tan/being white, big eyed, high bridge nose, oval face shape and the list goes on. People often do plastic surgery in order to become pretty in society's standard.However, by doing so, they throw away their unique quality that makes them different. Now let me relate back to geology, I mean when one look at minerals like gemstones, what makes them beautiful is the different colour they have. Each colour is different and beautiful in its own way. If people took the gemstones and coloured them to one specific colour only because it's "beautiful" in that colour only. That would be a shame, since all variety would be lost and what we'll face is the world full of gems that looks the same. Anyways, this relation might be weird but I feel it's a shame that  a lot of people cannot accept their/others unique characteristics and have to go ways to conceal or fix their "flaws" just because it is deemed ugly by society's standard. I mean if we all accept our/others differences, the world would be a so much more interesting and exotic place =). vs Which one is better? I think it's obvious =].   0

[ Saturday March 21, 2009 ] EDIT: FUCK YES. AFTER 4 HOURS OF SLAVING OVER. I finally found an English article on the building I'm doing. omg. I think I'm going to cry. I've never been so pissed off before. Fuck you ARC 132. FUCK YOU. I hate this stupid project with deep passion, I mean who wouldn't love getting a project where some of the requirements are almost impossible to full fill unless you know another language (spanish anyone?). It's a great that I'm not planning to go into architecture because I lost most of the passion I had for this subject because of this course. God, I miss ARC 131, the professor in that course is much better. 0
