I've been getting a lot of headaches recently. I'm not sure if its stress, lack of sleep or staring at the computer screen over a long period of time everyday. Not to mention how tired I've been feeling - even though I get the advantage of sleeping in with 2 spares in the morning. Ironic isn't it? Haha well, I guess its just this week's busy schedule that's been getting me up early in the morning. ARgh. Tired and sleep = a gloomy and unhappy self. At least I'm getting more than 6 hours of sleep now ! XD Oh wait, I think it might be that I ate too much during dinner lol. Apparently, all your blood goes to your digestive system causing a lack of it in the brain...? But I'm no biology nerd here =P.


Oh, and I went out to watch "Slumdog Millionaire" just last weekend. Yes, it's pretty good...but very different from the book, like it always is.

We’re all searching for a meaning to our lives. Everyone. We have to. Because ..no matter who you are. ..I don’t think anyone is born knowing the reason why they’re here. It’s just something you have to find as you go along….and it’s different for everyone, there is many reasons to live as there are people in the world…maybe even more. So the reason for being born…the reason you’ve been put here in the world, I think it’s something we all have to find for ourselves. ..so we search , within our hopes and dreams ..our work, the people in our lives…and everything we do. And even if the reason we find something’s hazy or unclear, even if it’s so tiny that you can hardly see it, the important thing is that you always have one. As long as im alive, that’s what I want. To have a reason, to go on. And you know you can always find one, if you know where to look. The people in my life give me a reason for living. I wanna live my life for the people I care about. And someday, I hope I’ll find someone who wants to live their life for me. So even when things are tough and its hard to go on, it makes me wanna try harder…because im not just living for me, I’m living for them too. And so, I think its good that you’re bold, that you’re still here… Cause you know, the world is a much better place with you in it. --

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.
-- Louise Erdrich


As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, and no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all; live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
