Sun, Sea and Sand

Headed out to the beach today after a LONG time...lols...It was a quiet day at the beach...not many people..Well, maybe it was because we were there a little after 10 in the morning. Anyways, sis and uncle went for a jog while I hit the water...

As I was reaching the shore, I notice a whole lotta crabs rushing back to the water and I was doing a little dance of my own as I was heading to the water. The Dance of the Crabs, that's what it was. Haha! So, I reached the water SAFELY without being bitten or stepping on any crabs and the water was just cooling : )

I swam for quite abit and quite far I must add and it felt so peaceful especially since there was not a soul in sight. I floated a while and looked up at the sky and it was beautiful. The clouds were fluffy and spread out as the sun slowly peeped out from behind them. The breeze was cooling and the waves gentle.. It was a perfect day for a solitary swim in the sea. 

I had some time to myself to enjoy the swim and appreciate nature in all its glory. Although there were a few times when the darn corals kept hitting my leg and I freaked out thinking it was something else. Haha...I scared myself for no reason.

Anyways, after the swim, uncle and aunty along with sis and myself had lunch at Glory Beach Resort. Not such a good meal but it was good enough seeing as I was hungry after the long swim..Haha..

Oh, and I also got a tan from all that time I spent at the beach. Not as much as I expected to tan but I guess its good enough...Lols...

Anyways, I'm back at home right now and enjoying the fan and shade while watching Jumanji. So that's all from me now! Ciao!

Memoirs of Her Broken Heart

Where are you?
Her thoughts have paced these empty spaces for far too long,
And before she could realize it, 
You were long gone.

You left her unsheltered 
From the arrows
From the daggers
From the waves of emotions 
That do but flood her fragile heart
Wave after wave they come
Crashing into the vacant lots of what was
They rip her apart.


She cried out
But no one would listen
In the deafening silence she struggles a shout
But to no avail 
As her voice drowns out

Darkness besets her 
As she awaits in vain
For that saviour to rescue her 
From the hurt and pain

Loneliness is her friend
So are the illusions of the past
"Was it never meant to be?" she ponders
"Was it never meant to last?"

She is weighed in distress
In the gloom of night
Not a sound, not a whimper
She remains in fright

Words escape her mind
As she holds her head down in the palm of her hands
What tragedy to befall someone!
When will it ever end.

The Nicole Ushkowitz phase

My friend Sandy and I were bored and we got a talking about another friend of our Nic who amazingly resembles actress Jenna Ushkowitz from Glee. While this conversation has taken place before, we never really took into account how much they look alike until we took pictures, Photoshoped it and realized it was just too good to be true.

Nic always denied the fact as much as she could but I strongly believe she was taken a back when she saw the picture herself. :) Needless to say, it became a huge hit among our friends on Facebook! 

So, ahem...*clears throat*....Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting to you, Nic Ushkowitz and Jenna Lai.....I mean Nic Lai and Jenna Ushkowitz...hehehe...

Indeed...It was a good day..

So the day went acceptionally well after my writing my little love letter to Him...I managed to get cracking on some assignments and stuff. I've been badly procrastinating on my work and it was about time my senses kicked in to overdrive for me to realize that time waits for no man..or woman..

Anyways, I have to admit that I'm not totally reformed but its a good start..well, at least i think its a good start.. :) AND spending time at the library made me feel like my IQ just jumped up like 10percent..hahaha...I guess some good does come out of spending alone time and getting things done..I have tried studying with my friends in the library before but somehow Facebook takes precedence over Social Psychology and Organizational Communication..lols...But, today! I have found my comfort zone...I know now where to sit and study...I don't know about everyone else but I need to find a place comfortable that helps me focus on the task at hand...Needless to say I found my lil corner in the library!

So, I'm guessing my Tuesday library days will be spent there instead of the usual discussion room where nothing much gets done by the end of the day... I hope my friends don't mind though...Hmmm...Maybe I could convince them that the lower level of the library feels condusive enought to get cracking on our assignments..Plus, its just beside the shelves where all our Mass Comm books are anyways...

Besides the amazing discovery at the library, I had an interesting chit-chat session with some unlikely people who I thought I'd never see again. I must say that somehow all the anger and frustrations I felt towards them just disappeared...I feel liberated to a certain extent and it feels good inside although I didn't care too much for the flaunting of their newly announced relationship...

With all that has happened in the past year especially concerning mademoiselle, I think I have finally learnt the true meaning of live and let LIVE...I guess I'm just in a happy mood today because of my new found discovery...Haha...Looks like even the smallest things in life can make a world of a difference.

Bonne nuit everyone!

Ciao!

Love Letter

Dear God,

How are you? Heaven looks mighty fine from where I'm sitting so I'm guessing you're doing pretty good. Allow me to say that you did a really good job with the weather today - not too sunny and not too cold either. Just the right temperature...Bravo! :)

So this isn't the most conventional way of talking to you but at least I know you are listening (or reading). I have alot on my mind and I needed to write it down to let you know how I'm doing. Well, for starters I can't complain much about life because I know you don't throw the 'poopies' that come my way. It's all people's doings and probably my own fault at times. 

In general, I actually do love my life considering I have a roof over my head, a family that loves me, friends that care for me. But mostly because I know I have You every step I take. I know You're there when I'm up in cloud 9 or when I've hit rock bottom. I know I can always count on You for anything and although I can't see You or hear You, I can always feel Your presence. Always in front of me holding my hand and walking me through the storm.

However, I do have a few laments and complains. Well, I feel like I'm about to hit rock bottom again. Let's just say I still haven't gotten the hang of relationships and friendships yet. I still need alot of work in that department. I feel like I've lost the will to love. I mean don't me wrong...I love YOU but I'm just getting tired of looking for love in all the wrong places. I loved and I was loved but love went away...So right now I feel a little bit empty inside. I mean you know all the details so there's no need to make this a thesis right...

So, all I ask is if you could point me in the right direction as to what I should do instead because I don't think Mr.Right is going to be knocking on my door any time soon. I guess I'll leave it in Your capable hands. Oddly, at times I do enjoy this new found liberty of being single but other times its feels like a really lonely place to be. But hey, at least I know I have You! :)
Anyways, I'm not going to bug You more. I'm sure You have other things to do right now, but I just need a favour if I may. I just pray that even if I loose out on love, just let my true friends be with me during these difficult times. It's sad when I see friends change so drastically and become someone I'd never thought they would be. I'm sure You know what that's like. I can't imagine being in Your shoes...Having sent down Jesus to save mankind and still struggling to get us to love You... :( I pray that I  will always remember You and never forget the kindness You have shown me..

Thank you for being part of my life, God. I love You! :)
