repetitive

listening to: The art of losing by American hi-fi



its that time of the year again, where finals are just around the corner and my repetitive schedule has less to repeat.
my schedule has now been reduced to sleep, eat, study, procrastinate and repeat. at least its not in that order =)
and with repetitive schedules comes repetitive days and with that comes boredom and slight depression
but fret not come holidays, depression flies out the window.

but on a happier note. finals means holiday are coming soon. and with December coming soon. it means CHRISTMAS.

Christmas + new year = SHOPPING

imperfections

the silver lining.

Listening to : Holiday by Boys Like Girls.




ever notice how everything has no matter how boring or dreary has its upsides once in a while ?
it's like the saying " every cloud has a silver lining." .

i really can't think of any like significant examples so i'll just illustrate with easy top of my head examples
like doing an assignment. it's boring. it's stressful. but when we get a good grade, it's all worth it.
like taking public transport. the buses are cramped, it's always late, and when it rains it wet and slightly stinky. but unlike driving your own car. taking a bus gives you a chance to talk to fellow bus takers who you normally won't talk to.
and that is a good enough silver lining for me.

in some way, to someone, everything you do is always worth it.


on another note, I've gotta choose my fave break up song and send it to the lecturer along with the lyrics by this Friday. so I'm having an awesomely emo time now choosing a break up song.
i just cant decide between the "i can't live without you's" and the " i totally hate you now's".

choices.

So are you gonna take your shot?
It's the only one that you got
Maybe I'll go out on a limb
Maybe I'll jump in for a swim

when the petting stops, just move on

listening to Broken by Lifehouse.

this afternoon while waiting on my mum to finish work so i can go home, i decided to wander round the nearby mall and check out this bookstore i buy most of my books from. so while browsing i found this book by John O' Hurley. it wasn't until i started reading the book did i realized he was an actor who had a part in Seinfeld and won Dancing with the stars.

anyway i bought the book cause it was titled It's OK To Miss The Bed On The First Jump and had a adorable dog on the cover. it was a short book that took me about 3 hours to finish but it was meaningful and made me wanna just sit there with my dog.

The book talks about the little things dogs do that we should learn. Like when you stop petting a dog he/she tries to get you to continue but realizes you won't and moves on. in the book he said we could learn that from dogs and just move on when a relationship ends instead of hanging on. and how a dog appreciates everything as if it were the first time, something we seldom do.

there was this part about therapy dogs that was a real tear jerker, talking about how these trained dogs are brought to the hospitals just to sit there, be stroked and show love to the patients. Dogs in general don't care what you did or who you are. they don't care if you're healthy or sick, rich or poor. as long as you show them care they will love you with all their heart.

i think it's gonna be one of those books that i leave on my room table and read all the time =)

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

slow down time.

listening to: Hello Seattle by Owl City


i remember a few years back i watched an episode of Dexters Laboratory where he invented this machine that slows down time. like he woke up 10 minutes before his school bus arrived so he jumped out of bed to switch on his slow down time machine and rushed around getting ready, having breeakfast and finishing his homeowork, and when he was done all he had to do what switch off his machine and take his time walking out the door to wait for the bus.

i don't mind havinbg that machine, eventhough everything including the water slowed down but still, it's the general idea that counts.

imagine if i had that device. i would never have to rush for anything ever again but then again wheres the fun in that. i'll probably just use it so i can streach my 5 minutes snooze time longer =)




or maybe i'll just start doing stuff earlier

risk the jinx.

will i jinx it if i say that it's been a good sem even before the sem is over ?

oh well i'll risk it.

it's been a good sem. in terms of my assignments anyway. it's been soo long since i've actually completed assignments an entire week before it's due
(take note that i said assignments. as in like plural)

thought there is abnormal psych that is still getting on my nerves. like its part of the assignment that we have to visit some center at least twice. and the bloody center just won't confirm an appointment with us. don't they get that my deadline is next week, and i have to do my paper based on the interview we're hoping to get from them. no interview = no paper = no marks =(

seriously. some people just don't get it


then again, i need to chill =)

life is all about the risks - Coco Chanel

get a break.

listening to: living in the sky with diamonds by Cobra Starship

i swear one day i'm gonna get off my lazy ass and start snapping away
to finally do the photo blog thing that i've been wanting to do since forever

so social psych today wasn't that bad la.
anyway mid terms is officially over with a capital O!

ugh now that the mid terms anxiety is over , it moves on to the experiments i gotta run and assignments i gotta hand up.
no one said year 2 was fun
but then again no one said it was gonna be so busy
guess i expected too little.

this whole run your own experiment thing is kinda interesting actually
the whole doing something i've never done before
just kinda shocking thought to hear it at the start of sem that i'll be presenting in colloquim. TWICE =(
woot woot

like i said before time management is everything.
haha but i never did listen to myself anyway
so with that i'm off to make myself a cuppa coffee and settle down to memorize my 201 erb


i wanna recite words in my sleep =)

Some things just make you laugh

Listening to: take it home by White tie affair

Sometimes there's like like facts and quotes that make the boring textbook worth reading.
Like this short convo I found in the social psych text


It wasn't easy telling my parents thy I'm gay. I made my carefully worded announcement at Thanksgiving, I said, "mum, would you please pass the gravy to a homosexual." theny aunt lorraine piped in, "bob, you're gay. Are you seeing a psychiatrist?" I said, "no, I'm seeing a lieutenant in the navy."
