TIGER OUT OF THE WOODSTuesday, February 09, 2010
Who knew that i'd recently get biten by some bug to get myself working on this blog again. I'm sure i don't need to say how long since i've last written here. In any case, life as it has always been, SUPERBLY busy.
So during the times that i could catch myself a breather, i've been busy with this. gonna continue working on the design of this blog and i think my brain is flooded with inspiration now...
Big dreams...
Who knows? only time will tell...
what i've learntThursday, December 03, 2009
recently, i just started to keep a journal, a collection of lessons that i draw from everyday life. i think it important in every adversity that we go through, to learn something new, to see the meaning in the disaster.
I think in order to know that with every dark cloud, no matter how chunky, no matter how dark still possesses a silver lining and that at the end of every adversity we survive through, quite like a rainbow, there's a pot of gold.
Perspective on life, is essential. whether your hypothetical cup of life is seen as half-full or half-empty, there's that cup we need to fill or should fill. And why not fill it with lessons that we have learnt, with experiences and memories that we love or love to hate.
I've learnt all that and more...
and at the end of the day you'll learn to be more grateful to be able to see the blessing in every disaster to see the gifts that adversities bring and be grateful that you've pulled through, tougher, smarter and much more than before...
PARENTING 101Sunday, November 22, 2009
Parenting... No matter how aged this form of profession is, its probably, undoubtedly, undeniably the most important and therefore, the toughest job on earth.
Just look around you, alot of people proclaim to be parents who cares about their kids, who would give everything for the young one. Perhaps, that's the issue, the refusal to acknowledge, the importance of being there for your child, the importance of parenting, with a presence.
Granted, your kids don't need you there twenty-four-seven. In fact parenting is quite like the art of flying a kite. Cliche, nontheless, but there's nothing quites as effective in showing the need to understand when to be there, when to hold them back, when to ask them, teach them, hold them. And conversely, when to let them find out on their own, when to let them fall and learn to get up.
At the end of the day, i think parenting as a profession or as a dedication, is one that there's no chance to be perfect at. there's no perfect upbringing, just like there's no perfect being in the world, unless transcient and from up above.
Point is, parenting perhaps is reliant on something less technical, less explicit and less theoretical. Our ideas of parenting might be different, but one thing i believe we can all agree on is the need to parent.
Undoubtedly, the excuse for a bad parent?
I parent, the best way i know how.
IN THE NIGHT I HEAR THEM MEOWFriday, November 13, 2009
Seriously though, theres a bunch of pretty noisy and according to my mum, pretty horny bunch of cats around my house, it's always meowing at night. I understand that animals are not like humans they can't help but meow like there's no tomorrow.
the wierdest thing? they sound like toddlers crying in the night. Trust me though, it is not. It's seriously the gang of black cats. i think their efforts have payed off because recently, i've seen a little kitten around.
I'm not an animal person, am I?
JUST FRIGGIN GONE FOR AWHILE
Alright, i'd admit, i've been AWOL, for a time too long to be put into words.
Though, if i'd have it my way, there's lots of things in school that i'd wish is cancelled or just removed. there's just too much going on and if you'd been around me long enough i'm sure you'd realise the same thing.
People scurrying around, worried about something, prematurely... then again, i won't say it's premature given time is never anyone's friend. Look at this blog for instance, i'd turn away and it's been what, a few weeks before i'm back... frankly it ain't feeling like it was weeks ago...
----
In actual fact, i'd say things have gotten to a stage where my mind has sorta carried out a "windows update" of its own. I'm seeing my things in compartments. one section of the brain left for the day to day functions AKA going through the motions. The other spread equally between thinking up topics for FYP in year 3 (see, told ya it's premature), Ethic revision (test on tues), PP Poster (due next week) & Research methods proposal (due tuesday).
seriously, at this rate, i'm gonna need to get defragged...
actually forget defragg, i'm gonna turn blue screen-ed...
ORCHARD ON A SUNDAYSunday, October 25, 2009
Went shopping today at ion and went to catch a movie
Nevertheless, i enjoyed the movie, the day out, it's just the revision that i was supposed to do that's weighing on my mind, which is resting on my legs, suffering also, from the fatigue of ion and cine and the path between the two.
