Save water. Drink beer.
Thursday, September 24, 2009 @ 12:02 PM

Thursday. That means the Raya Holidays are coming to an end and school's only a couple of days away. Now this seldom happens to me but.. I'm not exactly looking forward to going back to school. *GASPS*
Don't get me wrong. School's wonderful, especially with the awesome friends I have. But that might just be the reason why I don't wanna go back.


For the past week or so, I've been doing nothing but eat, watch TV, go online and sleep the days away. I haven't done anything productive. I haven't started on my homework - partly because I left all my books in school. I haven't finished reading even one book, if it can even be considered that I've read at all. I haven't called any of my girlfriends just to chat. I obviously haven't updated my blog very much. I really haven't done anything worth mentioning. And the weird thing is, I'm enjoying it. I'm not whinging and complaining to Mum so we could go shopping. I'm not making an effort to do much. I'm not all that bored. I'm not as desperate for company as I seem to claim.


In fact, I'm actually enjoying the alone time. I'm always around people. People are always around me. It hadn't occured to me that I've not had time for myself in a while. I like how I don't have to care about what I'm wearing, about how I look, about how my hair's styled. It feels pretty good to not have to fuss about all those tiny little things that, at certain times, seem so important when, in truth, don't really matter at all. I rather enjoy being the greasy-haired, sweatpants-wearing me who sits on the couch all day watching TV or stays in bed and sleeps like a dead person without a care in the world.


This has, of course, resulted in me looking and feeling like a zombie. I feel exhausted and grumpy all the time but, not so deep inside.. I'm actually happy. I haven't been genuinely happy in a while so it's funny how sudden this feeling came about. I catch myself smiling at nothing in particular at times. I laugh for no reason whatsoever and I talk to myself a lot. Oh my. I think I just described myself as a mentally ill person. Well anyway, what I'm trying to say is that, life's good. Life feels a whole lot better than it was before. And the weirdest thing is that.. Nothing happened. I didn't exactly meet a new special someone. I didn't win the lottery, that's for sure. It's just a simple and uncomplicated happiness that's inside me right now. I believe that I haven't felt this way in a while.


I told my new friend, Michael C. about my not wanting to go back to schools so soon. All he said was:" Then don't (go back to school). Marry a rich guy who thinks you look good in sweatpants". The first two words that came to my mind were: NO WAYYYY. As lovely as it sounds - and I assure you, it would be like a dream come true - I'd rather take charge of my own life and live it the way that I've planned. I have goals. I wanna get straight As in my SPM. I wanna go to medical school. I wanna be a doctor. I wanna save people's lives. I wanna go to poor countries and warzones where people don't even know that doctors exist, let alone be abel to pay for the medications and treatments. As cheesy as it may sound, I want to make a difference. I want to make this world a better place. For myself, for my family, for my future children and their children and so on.


So I tell myself: If I want to achieve all that, I can't just sit there on my lazy-ass, munching on chips like it's nobody's business. I gotta get up and do something useful. Normally, I would pick up my Biology or Chemistry book and start shoving facts into my brain right now but, as ya'll know, I left all my books in school. So here I am, typing away at the computer, finally updating my miserably neglected blog. I guess you can say I'm getting a tiny sense of achievement here. Just a teeny bit. ;)


Alrighty. I'm going to head off now and try something else to keep myself awake so I don't crash and burn. I stayed up all night watching movies. Now I gotta wait til it's dark to sleep so my sleep cycle gets back to normal. Maybe I'll actually start on that book now.

Another one?!
Saturday, August 29, 2009 @ 10:08 AM

At around 8a.m. just now I was on twitter.
Since I had nothing to tweet about I decided to check out the trending topics..
What I saw made my jaw drop..

RIP DJ AM

My first instinct was to go to Yahoo! and see if there were any news about this ridiculous piece of information. So I did. And I found nothing. Nil. Nada. Zero information about the apparent "death" of Adam Goldstein, better known to us average human beings as DJ AM.
So then I went back to twitter, hoping to seek the latest news. Then Michael Buckley of the What The Buck Show tweeted that TMZ was reporting that AM was dead. Faster than you can properly say Yves Saint Laurent, Usmagazine.com reported that AM was found dead in his New York Apartment. Somehow, I couldn't help but frown and feel sad. I furrowed my brows and thought:"Another one?"

To tell you the truth, I'm not all that crazy about AM. Hell, I didn't even know what the guy looked like. The first time I heard of him was when he performed at the VMAs last year with Travis Barker. The last time was when he and Barker survived the plane crash last September. And that was it.
But I gotta admit, I was shocked. Heck, who wouldn't be? I checked his twitter profile just now and it was just a couple of days ago when he last tweeted. And after two days POOF. We lost him.
Here's something Phillipe DeFranco tweeted or Twitter:

"DJ AM survives a mother flippin plane crash and he kills himself with drugs? Geeze. I blame Mary Kate Olsen."

Okay, so here I laughed. =x

It really has been a sad year. We've lost many great people in the course of a few months. The most famous and loved one being Michael Jackson. The King of Pop. The Legend.
This whole ordeal has actually got me thinking a lot. What if someone who I love and treasure suddenly disappears or leaves me forever? What if I never get a chance to say goodbye? What if I'm not doing enough? What if it becomes too late?
We never know what might happen in the next minute. So I'm determined to spend as much time as possible with the people I love and never take them for granted. Imma live life to the fullest and love to the max. Or is it love to the fullest and live life to the max? Hmm.

Anyhoo, I'll be updating ya'll about some recent events in a bit.
So stay tuned! ;D

6 THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY
-------------------------------------------------


1. Music

Depending on the genre, music can make me laugh and smile, but it can also make me weep and cry. But then, after I'm done crying and the tears dry up, I feel all better and stress-free again, as if the bitterness inside me and the aching pain in my heart all vanished along with the tears long gone. Music is my refuge, something I seek solace from. It is part of my life, it is part of me.


"Where words fail, music speaks."

- Hans Christian Anderson


"Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand."

- Stevie Wonder



2. Food


I don't believe in diets. Mostly because I always end up breaking them and give up. I don't understand why people strip themselves of the joy of eating chocolates and fried chicken and cakes and donuts just to lose those few pounds. I'm not saying that people should just eat whatever junk they can get their hands on but I think people should just really EAT and not think so much about calories and carbs all the time. I just eat whatever I want, whenever I want. You can say it'll get to me when I grow older, the diseases and shit but I exercise regularly, eat my vegies and drink lots of water to stay healthy. So there :P




3. Sales & Shopping Sprees


If you know Kristal, you know Kristal LOVES to shop. There's never a day when Kristal isn't up for a Shopping Spree. If one day she rejects an invitation to go shopping, there are only two possibilities as to why she did so:
1) Something very VERY bad happened or

2) She hates you very VERY much :)

Even if I'm broke, I still like to go into stores and try on everything I like then walk out empty handed. There's no rule stating that you have to buy it if you try it :P Even so, I am not in any way as crazy as Becky Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic. Oh no. I can still control myself. Though I do admit that I've been spending a hell lot lately. Mommy's been complaining non-stop! Alright, girlies. It's back to saving for The Diva now.


NO SHOPPING TRIPS, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!


For now.. ;)



4. Money


Affection is desirable. Money is simply indispensible. In this world, you're nothing without money. I know that sounds mean but hey, the truth always hurts. Sure money can't buy everything, especially not love. But it definitely helps, in a way.

"Money is not the most important things in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money."

-Anonymous

"Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping."

-Bo Derek

Alright so I've been going through some quotes about money. And I've realised that.. It's not money that makes me happy, but the things I get and the power and confidence I feel when I have money with me that do. I guess, one may choose to think that money is everything, or that money is nothing. I think money is undeniably one of the most important thing to a person to survive in this world. With no money, you may have no food, no shelter, no clothes.. So what if you have love? What if you have friends and family? Love can't put food on the table. Love can't prevent you from starving. Love can't do all that but money CAN. Love makes the world go round, sure. Love gives more meaning to life, yes. But can love make you continue living without food and shelter? I personally don't think so.



5. Mi Familia


"In family, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony."

-Eva Burrows


Up till just now, you might've been thinking that I'm a good for nothing materialistic spoilt brat. And yes, perhaps I am all that. I'm not saying that I'm proud. I'm just saying that I admit my wrongs and bad points. I also want you to know that there's more to me than what meets the eye. When people look at me, they may see this confident and independant young lady who knows exactly what she wants and where she's heading. They may see a leader, courageous and headstrong, leading her group to glory and victory. Or they may see the fun and outgoing girl, always smiling but still alert, ever ready to take on a challenge and make sure she wins it.



But not even the closest of friends will ever know the other side of me as well as my family does. And by family, I mean my mother. Trust my mother to have me in tears within seconds when no one else could do it in days. Trust my mother to say "I told you so" and shove the fact that I was wrong in my face everytime I screw up when everybody else is comforting me with half-true statements and by giving me false hope. Trust my mother to know when something's wrong with me and then force the truth out of me even when I'm begging with my tears for mercy when everybody else either totally ignores me or waves it off after one try. Trust my mother, to know her daughter best.

My mother is the only one who sees the fragile and vulnerable little girl who has long been buried deep inside my soul by the "new and improved" headstrong and fiercer version of me. My mother is the only one who loves me enough and would rather risk having me hate her for the rest of my life than have me turn into an easily broken soul who disguises herself as someone much stronger and much more braver than she really is. My mother is the only one who loves me enough to do all that and not ask for anything in return. My mother, is the best thing that has ever happened to me and will always remain thus for the rest of my life.


I love you, mommy :)




6. Hanging out with my Amigos


"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud."



"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson


"If it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead,

you can look beside you and your best friend will be there."

"Friends are the siblings God forgot to give us."

No words can express how grateful I am that I was blessed with the friends that I have. Whether I've known you since we were babies or I just met you a couple of days ago, I thank God for bringing us together. You guys are my motivation and the thing that always keeps me going. I don't regret the bad things that may have happened in the past because I know that if I learned anything from those not-so-good times, I've learned to appreciate and value my friends much more than I already do. I will never forget all the lovely memories we've made together. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful times we've had.

"Friendship is like a violin: the music may stop now and then,

but the strings will last forever."

:)

:D

I love my girls ;)

:]

:3

One of the best times EVER. :)

The Awesomeness that is HOPE ;)

I love you 4 HOPE!


I love you all :)
