work it! Sunday, August 21, 2011 I realised that now, I do understand a little of people's feelings about work. There's just something about it, that there's always something to do and your mind just keeps trying to keep up with the million number of things that you have to know and remember to do all your work. When you get home, it's so easy just to blank out, rest and not do anything. It's so easy to forget that work is a means, not an end in itself. It dawned on me that nowadays I haven't really been in touch with friends as much as I should (no, facebook doesn't exactly count). It's a little weird, seeing how usually I'm the one who finds people and being at the other end.. hmmmm. Guess I'm just trying as much to balance it all out. Sorry friends :( Thanks for understanding! Spare me a little patience, I'll figure it out.
Now I really, really, really do appreciate friends who make the effort to drop a msg, check in on me, remind me about stuff, ask me out. It really makes my day (: To-Get List Sunday, August 07, 2011 Things I need - work clothes - flats Things I need but can wait - Earphones with mic (iphone ones, but am considering a-jays four) - Guitar strings by Albert Augustine: A string/ 2nd string. Just snapped :( - Bodyshop Tea-tree exfoliating wash Things I want and will get eventually - Final Fantasy apps - Morning Glory DVD - Tangled DVD muses on music Saturday, June 11, 2011 Music has to be the best companion ever. It completely complements your mood. It can soothe and agitate, charm and berate, encourage and demoralise, praise and criticise. No matter what, it always has the words to express your feelings, to be your sounding board, to be your loudspeaker. As always with human communication and expression, it is temperamental, varying with beats and pitches, tangling with tones and tunes, elucidating the said and unsaid. Music is universal. Music is the soul. Thursday, April 14, 2011 Last night I went for penitential service and had a most enlightening confession. After I listed out my sins, I expected the priest to launch into the usual, general mini speech, about forgiving and repenting etc etc. Instead, the priest looked at me and asked, "how old are you?" Stunned, and momentarily forgetting my age, I cautiously replied, "twenty... four.." He then stated, "It is important for you to find your vocation." This is kind of old news for me I guess, but somehow.. He totally hit the nail on the head. He went on to explain why it was important to find it, which did add on to the whole "right on the money" feeling. It did make sense as he highlighted the spiritual and somewhat social elements, and was rather elucidating. I was so taken, that as he continued, I didn't know what to say and what to think. Maybe he deduced from my age, but for one of the few times in confession.. it seemed that God was really talking to me through him. To top it off, for my penance, instead of the usual prayers, he told me to recite the Catena. Of all people, to an ex-Legionary huh, hahaha. A way to reflect and emulate Mother Mary, who made herself small, and cared so much for others. Somehow, it has stirred me, to ponder about this question on a whole new level. I have much to think about. Work. Period. Sunday, March 06, 2011 Once a month, it sucks to be a woman. and yes.. even my uterus won't let me be a slob. sigh. I've been feeling the pressure to get a job. It's coming close to a year, which is terrifying. As a friend aptly put.. i'm not so fresh a graduate! Plus the new batch is coming out. Scary to have dragons & tigers as competition. People keep asking me what I want to be. As though it's taboo for me not to know. Perhaps I was being particular at the beginning, but that does not mean I'm fussy. I just have to keep faith and confidence in myself, that I'll find my own way in my own time. Which will be hopefully, soon. | |
