Day #30: Who are you?

2011-12-31T02:34:00.000+08:00

Who am I?

That's my new year resolution, actually. To find myself, and find my place in this world. Where I stand in this grand scheme of things. What part do I play in the lives of others. What part to I play in my life. Grand-daughter, daughter, sister, sista, best friend, good friend, friend, acquaintance, colleague, stranger - what do each of these roles of mine entail?

So far, I only know that I am clay, fit to fill the shoes of each role. I am a bundle of emotions that are inextricably tied to one another, to thoughts that might or might not matter. I dance to the beat of my heart, I have ignored my brain unless needed. I am imbalanced, unbalanced, torn in ways that have been my own doing. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing, then I kick myself for shooting myself in the foot.

I think it's fairly safe, at this point in time, to say that I am simply lost.

(~```~)

What the fuck.
Honestly.
You never learn your lesson, do you.
Let's see how you're going to get out of this alive.

Day #29: In this past month, what have you learned

2011-11-13T16:48:00.001+08:00

In this past month (October):
- How my procrastination always bites me in the ass
- How I need to relearn how to treasure the people around me
- How to move - coordination, performance, technique, awareness - dance
- How much one person can affect another

(~```~)

I hate how I'm so hyper-aware of you.

Day #28: A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

2011-11-01T21:57:00.001+08:00

2010: TJC Grad Ceremony

2011: Boogie outing at *scape/ Cathay

Change?

Hmm, not much.

I smile the widest with my beloved's.

(~```~)

I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around

Day #27: Why are you doing this 30 day challenge?

2011-11-01T01:58:00.001+08:00

At first, I thought it was cool. Sharing my thoughts through structured questions, even though I skipped those pertaining to my family. Reading GH's responses was an eye opener. I never knew some of the thoughts she portrayed in her posts.

Then I wanted to do it as a reflection.

Looking at some of the posts, they still apply till this day. Not that surprising, since I only started this blog this year and I don't change that fast/ I haven't had any traumatic life-altering experience. Esp my numerology post; I've always been interested in the idea of prediction, like astrology or string theory.

"Make the most of your gifts of mind without losing your heart in the process. Share your emotions with those you trust, and maintain long-lasting close relationships. This will balance your mental life and will be a source of great comfort."

It's almost like God's Message.

The little snippets of information that occured through the year; Debate BBQ, Febuary: Not die. It seemed so large, so important then, now it's a fuzzy, distant memory kept in my heart. I don't remember those I addressed the rants to; maybe it's better if I don't recall.

Really, I ought to finish this soon.

(~```~)

Two can play the silent game.

(~```~)

OMG, REPORTS ARGHHHHH WASTED TOO MUCH TIME ON THE BLOGSKIN RAWRRRR

Don't move, stay still, breathe
The music's stopped, the curtain dropped
It's a different battle now
Hold your sword, ready your horses

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

They are the family that I choose for myself.

Some of my friends are people I cannot live with. They are people who help me contain my insanity... or unleash it in the most harmless way possible. They are people who can advice me on decisions that could affect my future, or remind me to stop and smell the roses. They are people who show me what life can be about, only if I let myself experience it.

Some of my friends last a season. They give me balance in different stages of my life. They remind me of the harsher realities, that I need to take off my rose-tinted glasses and clean them once in a while. They show me how I have to pull back, and take charge of myself too.

Friends are important companions. They help us see things that we can't see alone.

(~```~)

What are you thinking about?

A penny for your thoughts, dear.

I miss waking up to your smses.

I miss teasing you.

I miss texting you anytime in the day.

I don't miss waiting for your reply.

I don't miss your obliviousness.

I don't miss waiting into the AM for your call.

But why did it change? What changed?

I guess these feelings will remain here, in the shadow of our pride.

Numerology

2011-05-05T09:52:00.005+08:00

Your Life Path number is 4

You are practical, down to earth with strong ideas about right and wrong. You are orderly and organized, systematic and controlled, you are decisive and methodical employing a step by step rational approach to problems solving. Once committed you do not give up easily!

You are not one for "get rich quick" schemes. Rather you use hard work and long hours to build a business or career- you seek to establish a solid foundation. Precise, tenacious and persevering, you have great potential for success, but only after putting out effort and overcoming the limitations you so often encounter. Justice and honesty are sacred to you. You are reliable and dependable, a cornerstone in the community. Though not an idealist, you are willing to work for a better world in a realistic way. However, you can be rigid in your ideas and sometimes too quick in judging your fellow man. You are loyal to those you love and work well with others. . It is important that while being part of a team you have your own responsibility and well- defined task, you perform better when your responsibilities are not overlapping with those of others. You have to be careful not to be bossy and rude. You possess rare discipline and perseverance and not everyone can keep up with you.

You can handle money carefully and like the security of a nest egg. Your love of work often leads you into a career early in life. Because of your methodical nature you can easily become rigid and stuck in convention. You can also be overly cautious when changes are necessary, this can cause you to miss opportunities that present themselves . You must cultivate flexibility in your character. You are well suited for marriage and often become a responsible loving parent. However, anything that violates your profound sense of order, such as separation or divorce can be a shattering experience for you. You easily become obsessed and even vengeful, seeking your own definition of justice.

Your Birth Day number is 7

You possess a highly-developed mind. It is your instrument for investigating the world and all its subjects. You are philosophically and spiritually oriented. You can and should specialize in one given field in order to make full use of your abilities and your natural intellectual gifts. You tend to be analytical and rational in your approach to relationships. Emotions are a cloudy and uncertain realm for you, which, very often, you do not trust. Emotional people are sometimes viewed by you as a bit immature or unpredictable.

You have excellent intuition. You should meditate and do some type of spiritual exercise in order to develop your intuitive talents. Once you have begun to trust your intuition, you will develop a sound faith. You should avoid taking anything at face value. Nor should you take excessive chances or gamble. You are not the type that should be given to reckless living. It tends to backfire quickly for you. You prefer to work alone and set your own pace. You tend to finish projects once started. Your interest leans to the scientific, technical, and metaphysical.

You are very sensitive and feel deeply, but you don't share your feelings easily and do not communicate them well. You like to spend time alone but have to be careful not to become too withdrawn. You can be opinionated and stubborn. You must guard against becoming too analytical, cold-hearted, and cynical. You can be highly critical and self-centered - traits that can lead to much unhappiness, especially in marriage, if you are not careful. Once married, you tend to be loyal and faithful.

Make the most of your gifts of mind without losing your heart in the process. Share your emotions with those you trust, and maintain long-lasting close relationships. This will balance your mental life and will be a source of great comfort.

Your Expression number is 6

You are a loving and caring individual with a tendency to put the needs of others before those of yourself. You are responsible and trustworthy with a high regard for justice and honesty. Duty will follow you all your life and sometimes feel a little too much of a burden. You are artistic. Harmony and beauty are high on your list of priorities. You have musical talent but the creative talents of a 6 are sometimes left undeveloped or suppressed as a result of your tendency to sacrifice your time and pleasure to the service of others. You are highly creative in all areas of life, particularly the visual. You are also a talented business person and can work methodically toward the realization of your goals.

You have a natural gift with flowers, gardens, and animals. Your love of children has caused numerologists to dub you the "Cosmic Mother or Cosmic Father". The very shape of the 6 resembles and symbolizes "Pregnant with Love". You are a natural counselor and healer. But you must be careful not to interfere with the freedom of others. You are recognized as an idealist, mainly regarding marriage, friendships and humanity. The 6 is the most balanced of all numbers, but also contains within itself the greatest paradoxes. It is as if opposite tendencies were tenuously poised. Because of its gift for harmonizing these opposites, you are uniquely qualified to handle and integrate contradictions within yourself. It is for this reason that 6s so frequently find themselves in the role of healers or counselors, creating a peace between opposing points of view, or internal conflicts within the self.

While you can be very idealistic, there may also be a temptation to acquire beautiful objects by improper means. You must also guard against other meddlesome behavior and domestic tyranny, or always having to have your own way in a family dispute. Conversely, you have it within yourself to understand another person's dilemma and come up with a creative solution. Your natural ability to give comfort and warmth can smooth over hurt feelings like a healing balm. You attract love and appreciation. And rightly so, because you give the same in return.

You make an outstanding teacher (especially young children or special education), healer, counselor social worker, psychologist, artist, designer, gardener, florist, and farmer. You can be successful in business, especially those that involve dealing with people.

Your Heart's Desire number is 7

You love knowledge, study, and insight. You value the gifts of your mind, which you use to great advantage to penetrate the mysteries of life. You study things in-depth. You search beneath the surface of things. You abhor shallow judgments or opinions. You have a natural gift for analysis and research. Once you have grasped the facts of a subject, your creativity and abstract approach lifts your thinking beyond the rudimentary to the philosophical. You have a theoretical mind, but rather than indulge in fantasies or idle thought, you prefer to base your theories upon scientific facts.

You enjoy mental and physical puzzles - figuring them out, taking them apart, and putting them back together. Some people may perceive you as cool or aloof. You are somewhat introverted; you may feel slightly removed and even a little different. The fantasy of the hermit or monk engaged in a life of study and meditation appeals to you.

In relationships, you tend to keep things business-like and impersonal. You prefer to talk about the facts of a given situation, rather than the cloudier issues of emotions and personal feelings. You distrust feelings - both your own and those of others. The whole emotional realm strikes you as unreliable, and a bit unnecessary. Your inability to fully understand the emotional aspect of life is your Achilles heel. You are so rational that the unpredictability of the heart frightens and surprises you.

Your challenge is to trust. You need to share your heart with someone. This is a courageous step for you, but will result in enormous growth and satisfaction. The advice here is to make a true connection with another human being. Without it, you may marry out of convenience or to fulfill social expectations, but it will not lead you out of loneliness. The more removed you are from people, the more you risk isolation, bitterness, and a cynical attitude toward life. This choice represents a true crossroads in your development. By sharing yourself with others (without compromising your independence and need for privacy) you can cultivate your enormous charm and share your understanding of life. You are a natural teacher and advisor. And the wealth of knowledge you will accumulate in life is meant to be shared with others. This is not to say that you must compromise on your need for privacy or time spent alone to contemplate life. These are natural aspects of your personality, which are essential to your growth. These characteristics should not be threatening to your spouse, but must be understood as fundamental to your being.

You are blessed with a great reserve of intuition, which can be cultivated by regular meditation and contemplation. Your "inner voice" is your greatest guide and friend. You are idealistic and have high expectations for yourself. Learn to balance your serious nature with regular doses of fun. Your intelligence and cultivation make you charming and distinguished in appearance. As you get older and more comfortable with your identity, people are naturally attracted to you. They see your wisdom, your deep understanding of life, and the refinement you radiate.

Your Personality number is 8

You appear strong and powerful. You have an impressive personality and can influence and even intimidate through sheer force. You have natural authority. Your competence and enthusiasm attract people with resources. You radiate confidence. People defer to you because they sense your sureness and effectiveness. You also exude a kind of controlled benevolence. People sense that you are generous, once you are convinced of the worthiness of the cause.

It is important for you to dress well. You radiate a kind of raw power and able ness, which needs to be refined and enhanced by your clothing. You may even dress a bit flashy, but that will not harm you. Quality is among your highest priorities, and should reflect in your clothing. Although most eights have a strong constitution, they can be prone to indigestion, ulcers, and heart disease due to their reckless eating and drinking habits and their propensity to be workaholics. Your Achilles heel is your capacity for an egocentric attitude. The negative side of your personality can cause you to be ruthless, greedy, and intensely lonely.

Conversely, you can be spontaneous and excited. You are essentially warm and jovial. In your heart of hearts, you want everyone to be as excited and as happy as you. Those who are around you often sense this. Your coworkers and employees usually like you.

Your Hidden Passion is 5

You love travel, change, and new challenges. You are highly adaptable and versatile. You have a talent for languages, and are generally good with words. Writing, promotion, and public relations work suit you perfectly.
You are sensual and a bit impulsive. You love to satisfy your senses, which can get you into trouble. Overindulgence in food, drink, sex, and drugs are common among people with too many 5s - six or more.
You are resourceful and original. You have a good sense of humor and a quick tongue.
Your desire for freedom is extremely strong and it will take effort and discipline to stick with whatever it is you started. There is a tendency to give up a project or situation prematurely.
You may be interested in too many things, which can make it hard for you to apply yourself to one area successfully.
You are very unconventional.
Commitment in relationships and your work is fundamental to your happiness. You may have a tendency to wander from person to person, job to job, making depth of relationship or deep expertise difficult.

Your Karmic Lesson is 3

You are highly self-critical. Every time you find yourself at the center of attention, you manage to find something in your performance to be entirely inadequate or embarrassing. You have established an impossible standard of perfection as the only measure of your actions.
You need to lighten up on yourself. Realize that you have within you a critical faculty that must be contained and controlled. Otherwise, it can prevent you from doing what you truly enjoy in life.
You're too serious. Be more optimistic and cheerful, enjoy life as it was meant to be and share this joy with others.
Life will put you in situations that require imagination and communication. You will be tested in these areas. You will be forced to face the challenge.
Missing threes will often produce artists but their success requires much work and perseverance.
The effect of the Karmic Lesson is diminished if you have at least one 3 among your core numbers (Life Path, Birthday, Hearts Desire, Expression or Personality Number).

Your Balance Number is 5

Try to focus on your problem, rather than avoiding it. You may try to avoid the issue by indulging your senses to keep from feeling the pain of a conflict. Be careful not to escape into food, alcohol, and drugs.
You are capable of finding a highly-creative solution to any situation the minute you put your mind to it. The answer lies well within your grasp.

Your Subconscious Self Number is 6

You like to help others, sometimes to the extent that you do not pay enough attention to your own needs. You are primarily concerned with your home and your family. Everything else comes second. You radiate love and genuine concern for others. During times of distress you turn to your family and friends. You are responsible and willing to sacrifice for others.

Special letters

The first letter of your name (use your first name at birth) is called the Cornerstone. It gives you an indication of your character, particularly in the way you approach opportunities and obstacles.

The last letter of your first name reveals your ability and attitude toward finishing projects that you start. This letter is called your Capstone. Together, your Cornerstone and Capstone can tell you much about your capacity to start and finish a project successfully.

The first vowel of your first name reveals something of your deeper self. As I explained earlier, the Heart's Desire is a somewhat hidden, but strongly represented, core number in your chart. It is a big part of yourself that you do not reveal easily or indiscriminately, and it is usually recognized only by your relatives and friends. The first vowel of your name is the little window through which you allow the uninitiated a glimpse at your deeper self.

Special Letter T

You are dynamic and live a hustle, bustle kind of life. You may have to force yourself to slow down sometimes. You like to expand and enlarge your world continuously. You can be aggressive when you are committed to an undertaking or relationships. Watch your emotions; you can be too sensitive and quickly hurt, which may cloud your usually good judgment and sense of morality.

Special Letter A

You are ambitious, independent and have great drive, you are not easily influenced. You are mental and direct. You want to take charge. You have willpower and are resolute and purposeful. You have courage and boldness but may also be stubborn and willful. Be more flexible and willing to listen to others.

Special Letter I

You are emotional, considerate and understanding. You are artistic and have good taste. Without balance and steadfastness, there can be nervous tension and accident proneness. You have to try not to switch from one extreme to another; look for balance.

Day #23: Something you crave for a lot

2011-04-30T01:23:00.003+08:00

Acceptance.

Isn't that what we all strive for?

Day #22: What makes you different from everyone else

2011-04-27T20:48:00.002+08:00

1. I'm the only Trinda in the world.
2. I allow different people to learn different sides of me.
3. I am more sane when I'm angry.

So far, that's all I can think of.

Day #21: A picture of something that makes you happy

2011-04-21T17:39:00.002+08:00

This can be seen two ways;

1. Dance

Whoever knows me knows I <3 dance. Almost any kind of dance (ALEX WONG/TWITCH/KENT <333333333)

2. Commitment/ losing yourself in the act

Actually, pretty self-explanatory.

Day #20: Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

2011-04-09T20:08:00.004+08:00

Hmm....
Subject to change, but so far

He
- Has to be assertive/ have plans (otherwise weekends would be monotonous)
- Has to be spontaneous/ know how to have fun
- Has to be fit (so he can motivate me to be fit too.)
- Know how to cook, esp dessert! ;p
- Can drive both car and motorcycle
- Doesn't hate kids (doesn't have to be mad about them either, but just be okay with handling them)
- (Censored)

(~```~)

I hate waiting.
Help me out of this misery, God.

Day #19: Nicknames you have; why do you have them

2011-03-22T21:24:00.003+08:00

1. Duck

This nickname is entitled only to my mom. There was a cartoon that my mom watched waaaaaay back about a group of animals and a hunter. They were all hiding from the hunter, so the hunter lay in wait. Warily they peered around, looking for the hunter.

The hunter, faking a voice, cried out, "Hunter! Duck!"

The duck poked out and answered, "Yes?"

Figure out the ending yourself.

[P.S. I do think it's rather apt.]

2. Trin

People are lazy and shorten my name.

3. An-ne-ting/ An Ting (pronounced in Mandarin.)

To the Chinese Community; Trinda is NOT my surname. Anne is my middle - Christian - name. Ting is my surname. Trinda is my Given Name. Please stop mispronouncing.

Day #18: Plans/dreams/goals you have

2011-03-14T15:34:00.003+08:00

1. Be an author/ publish a book

2. Dance/Play the violin

3. Wait for love

4. Be independent

5. Design and cultivate my own home

6. Learn

Day #17: Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

2011-03-09T21:34:00.001+08:00

Lazy to do day 16.

Hmm.
My dog, I guess.
He just has to look cute, act adorable, and all his needs are well taken care of.
Then again, when we leave him alone, is it enjoyable?

(~```~)

Why?

Day #15: Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play

2011-02-27T20:34:00.003+08:00

I'm going to skip day 13 and 14 because I haven't been upset yet for the former and I don't pull my family into the webz for the latter. Personal principles.

I'm going to use my ipod which has not been updated for a very long time. Waiting for a new laptop and iTouch.

1. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER by HSM
2. DO WHAT U DO by PINK
3. IT'S by TSUBASA CHRONICLES OST
4. AMEYTHYEST REMEMBERANCE by NOIR OST
5. [TITLE IN JAPANESE] by SOUND HORIZON
6. TOMORROW by JJ LIN
7. DROP IT ON ME by RICKY MARTIN
8. FORGIVEN by WITHIN TEMPTATION
9. YOU CAN'T TAKE ME by BRYAN ADAMS (SPIRIT OST)
10. TO LOVE YOU MORE by CELINE DION

Hmm...

Day #12: How you found out about Tumblr/LJ/Blogger and why you made one

2011-02-10T20:39:00.002+08:00

Heh, no biggie on this one.

It was all the rage when I started my first one. Then the second and the third. Posted numb crap like other students my age; complaining about tests, worrying about the next drill, passing insults whether subtle or not. Reading it was a constant grimace, and I wonder if that was all my pathetic life had to offer: Memoirs of uncouth youth.

The fourth one, I rather not even mention it.

Then this one, made for the 30-or-32 day challenge. When I realised that this could be a lot more than just mindless ranting. It could be memories unwritten. It could be stories untold. Sharing my thoughts with the aimless passer-by. I guess, by far, that it was all going to be about Trinda.

You Are Understanding

You are a compassionate and intuitive person. You understand people well.

You tend to think most about the world. You always see things on a global scale.

You are open minded and tolerant. You believe strongly that people should be allowed to do their thing.

You have the most fun when you have fun in small doses. You don't like anything to drag on for too long.

The Surreal Test

Blogthings: We're Not Shrinks, But We Play Them On the Internet

Day #11: Another picture of you and your friends

2011-02-08T15:03:00.002+08:00

Yay (:

(~```~)

Waiting is tiring.

Day #10: Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

2011-02-06T13:45:00.005+08:00

Happy:
Practically anything

Sad:
Flyleaf
Within Temptation
Tsubasa Chronicles OST
JJ Lin
Pink's "Stop Falling"

My playlist
Pink
Britney Spears

Dance OST (Step up, Take the lead)

Hyped:

I just realised I have quite a number of OSTs. o.o

Day #9: Something you're proud of in the past few days

2011-01-30T12:02:00.002+08:00

Hmm...
Cleaning my room.

It may sound a little shallow, but for a procrastinator like me it is still an achievement.
And also because I'm a bit of a hoarder, throwing away things that have been decades old is a bittersweet moment.

It's the memories that count, I suppose.

(~```~)

Here we go, over and over again.
When will the wheel stop turning
And when it stops... will the Earth stop spinning too?

Day #8: Short term goals for this month and why

2011-01-26T16:17:00.002+08:00

Since it's nearly the end of the month, I might as well do Feb as well.

January:
1. Get a job
Currently, I'm in the works of getting employed by my alma mata. But I really need a job for various reasons. One, I need to revive my brain. Two, I need to save up for my family trip to Europe. Which reminds me, I have some research to do....

2. Settle classes.
GH: DANCE CLASSES
ME: DRIVING CLASSES
For the same reason, I have to revive my brain.

3. Bathe the dog/ clean my room
Meh, I'm a procrastinator. Only for the latter, though. The weather won't co-operate with me for the first.

Febuary
1. Try not to die
Period.

2. Bake something
We've recently acquired a new oven, and I plan to utilise it. Cookies, anybody?

SYTYCD

2011-01-24T11:13:00.002+08:00

I cannot say how much I love the show.

Kathryn and Jacob Contemporary in the finals (S6) is like sex on pointed feet.
Pauline and Jonathan Waltz is like love on heels, contrary to popular belief.
Legacy - is a legacy himself.
Russel and Noelle, in African Jazz, was phenomenal.
Ryan and Ashleigh... simply adorable.

Dance ~ <333

Day #7: A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

2011-01-23T23:13:00.006+08:00

Or something like that.
When there's light filtering through shade, be it clouds or leaves or glass.
It always reminds me of this saying, that we will not notice light if there is no darkness. It was mentioned at homily today too.
That what defines something, is the opposite of itself.

(~```~)

Debate BBQ!

Day #6: Favorite super hero and why

2011-01-20T22:15:00.002+08:00

Hmm....
This is tough.

I never had a favourite superhero, 'coz they were all cool.
Hmm. I guess Prof X.
Because he can read minds. Even though it doesn't take a superhero to do that, just a very observant person or a psychic, at least he compensates it with human compassion.
And sometimes, I wonder why I don't have a mentor like him.

(~```~)

Forgotten.

(~```~)

Reunion dinner was civil enough.

Day #5: A picture of somewhere you've been to

2011-01-17T18:49:00.003+08:00

Milford Sound, New Zealand.

I'll always love NZ. It was my first free and easy trip, I went with my family, and basically just bask in the NZ scenery. It's really a beautiful place to escape into, esp. the mountainous areas like Franz Josef. OMG, glacier climbing. Totally awesome.

AND it was the backdrop of LOTR. Who wouldn't love it?

I only wish I could go horseback riding. And swim with the dolphins. My attempts were ruined by the monthly cycle. =.=

(~```~)

PANNA COTTA
I hope I don't kill off everyone. :3

Day #4: A habit that you wish you didn't have

2011-01-14T01:10:00.002+08:00

Procrastination.

Yes, I am a severe procrastinator.
Sorry mom. v.v
We always think that we have all the time in the world, but we don't realise that every second counts.

Trying to kick it. Somehow. :/

(~```~)

Watched Love and other drugs with GH and Jm!
Jake and Anne actually make a very good couple.
Won't spoil the movie, but they are very good eye candy. :P

"You go through life, meeting people but never knowing them.
Then you meet the one person that will change your world."
I thought about you, at that moment.
I wonder, if anyone would ever feel that way about me.

Day #3: A picture of you and your friends

2011-01-12T00:46:00.003+08:00

Am not much of a photographic person, so photos are almost always taken by others.
:?
Debate farewell dinner; the memories we share are priceless to me.

(~```~)

Oh no, what did I get myself into.

Day #2: The meaning behind your Tumblr/LJ/Blogger name

2011-01-09T23:52:00.003+08:00

Faint Whispers and Multa Paucis was actually born from this latin phrase which really impressed me.

Verba volant, scripta manent.

Which means 'Words fly away, writings remain.'
It's latin, btw.

I felt that it applies to what I always feel. That if I don't capture the particular subject of my attention, it will disappear, worthless. Like one moment, and it's lost forever. Like empty promises on fibbing lips. Like faint whispers in the night.

So if I could capture that moment, in any way, it will remain with me, at least for a while.

That's the allure of the written word for me. It allows me to bring the image to mind, and let it sink in for a moment, before moving on to the next scene. The printed black against white paper leaves no grey area for arguement. Set in stone, never to be corrected. A sense of security, perhaps, to be able to convey a multitude of ideas in writing. To say much in a few words. Multa Paucis.

(~```~)

Shouldn't I have more freedom, now that I am of age?
Why do I feel like I'm more trapped than ever?

How could you do that?
I wouldn't, if I were you.
Should I?

(~```~)

Idc. I'm going to push the boundaries, and taste the forbidden fruit.

Day #1: A recent picture of you and 5 facts about yourself

2011-01-08T01:29:00.000+08:00
