Words of wisdom at 2 am...

What's crackin' y'all? It's 5 mins to 2 in the AM and I am still up, yet again. Although my eye lids are finally getting heavy.

I promised to bring you tales from my travel in Japan and it has literally been two month since I got back. My old age, combined with my increasing senile-ness is making me forget them. I'll start posting about them, whether I get the photos from my sis or not, very soon...

Whilst I was there though, I heard some very good quotes/philosophies that particularly stuck with me and wrote them down at the back of my diary and I recently found them whilst attaching my Country Road voucher to my diary. I thought I'll share some of them with you guys.

The basis for these were that they were quotes/sayings from a grandmother of a very poor peasant boy during the war-era in Japan. With both parents dead, he was leaving with his grandmother. They didn't have much money, but definitely ALOT of heart.

1. "Even if there are 2, 3 people that hate you, just turn around and there are a million people."
2. "Don't money this, money that! Even if you have a million dollars, you can't make a fish."
3. "Kindness, is when the person receiving it doesn't even realise it."
4. "Smart people, dumb people. Rich people, poor people. After 50 years, they all turn 50."
5. "Have a dream until you die. If it doesn't come true, it's just a dream."
6. "If you have the courage to die. I want you to live."

You have to read deeper into the meanings of them but something about them stuck with me. There were about 12-15 of these.

There's one other quote I like, I don't know where I heard it or got it from. I had it as my MSN nickname for a while, and I really find it to be very accurate. I'll leave you guys on that note.

much love, I.

"Loving what you find is easy. Finding what you love is infinitely harder."

Transformation, complete.

herro,

it's 3.15 in the AM and I'm still up...mind you not aimlessly. Talking to a friend on MSN, watching G.T.O. and "trying" to work on an essay that's due in about 48 hours. =P Finally figuring out how to upload photos from my new digital camera. Looking at my bottle of Turkey on the wall wondering, 'should I or shouldn't I' at such a gastly hour. lol.

The point of my post was that I have big news!

(cue the drum roll)

I have transformed. =P

No, I'm not really a robot in disguse. Just my appearance. I have gone and gotten my head shaved. lol. It feels nice. It's fun to rub it now. I could do it for ages. hehehe.

I thought I might celebrate this by posting my chameleon like changes in the past year. Enjoy!

PS. You don't have to tell me how self-indulgent and egotistical this post is, I already know! But meh, it's my blog. =P

Back in business...

Hey y'all, what's the happy-hap?

It's almost been two month since my return and finally, FINALLY, I have an internet connection at home. Que the marching band and the pyro techniques...throw in a few party poppers while we're at it. *sniff, sniff* Thank you, thank you *teary eyed*. =P

All joking aside, now you'll see me more regularly on MSN and be more prompt at answering emails and hopefully posting here more...of course that's all contingent on my 'めんどくさい' (can't be bothered) level. Which tends to be quite high on a regular basis. haha.

I've become a social hermit the past few weeks...Me don't like it. But I can't help it. Hopefully it a temporary thing. At least until I finish uni. I'm not sure how that helps but you know...Actually what would help most is if dad found someone to fill in for me at the restaurant. THAT would help me out a lot actually. But let's keep that on the down-low. Haha. The fact is, I love working at dad's shop. And you know me, family matters.

...I don't know what the point of this post was...Oh yeah! It was about the internet...but that's kinda anti-climactic now...damn it...

I.
