If you care about somebody, you should want them to be happy. Even if you wind up being left out.

You have more to do than be weighed down by pretty or beautiful you are a fiery heart and a wicked brain do not let your soul be defined by its shell.

“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, “I’m not going to make it.” But you laugh inside, remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.”

Don’t bring up the past of a person who is trying to improve their future

This is such an important message that is so relevant to me. Please, do not stop people from reaching a good place in life because of things they cannot take back. It is so painful.  (via grillfriend)

Day117: quote that chased away my grumpiness. Sidenote: A little worried that I love being alone too much. Such a hermit HAHAHA.

[smallthingsgreatdelights]

So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seem impossibly out of reach, and ridiculous to expect so we never really dare to ask the universe for it… You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

Day116: okay technically many days have passed since my last post, but I am just gonna move the count only when I remember to count my blessings HAHAHA. So with a beyond brilliant final exam results (very grateful), I finally flew off for my mini grad trip:)!! For all three years straight, I have been flying to Europe alone and after having the window and aisle seat, it was finally my turn to get a middle seat… But no plane mate horror story or anything, just felt claustrophobic as usual HAHAHA.

Arrived at 8 in the morning in Edinburg and spent an entire day myself. First time having a main meal at a cafe alone overseas and it feels kinda liberating actually. Visited the castle and walked along the streets of Edinburg! I thought I really loved London but OMG Edinburg is so much prettier! This day and a half alone in a foreign city gave a really strange feeling. One of both anonymity and freedom.

Got the bad news of another failure but nevermind just always fail forward right! gonna pick myself up:)and I was really blessed to meet a new hk friend today! We bonded over the mutual need for a friend to TAKE PHOTOS HAHAHAAH

Day115: caught xmen today. One if my fav animated series during my childhood years! Always wanted to know about the full story of xmen but everytime I try to google it, there are so many arcs and characters, my browser ends up with 100000 tabs. So whatever. I am just gonna stick with the characters I actually remember from cartoons and films. And actually, the thing that drives this is the bromance between the frenemies prof x and magneto (Never fails to make me think of magnum HAHA).

Day114: One of the best days in a while. Played with a buddy sub in the middle for the first time since jc and I died. I really died. My defense was really poor as a result but I was glad I pushed myself and had such an awesome team to support me. Really really couldn't have survived without them and jaz. There's kinda a warmth coming back to the field with so many familiar faces. I think having gone through today together, I can safely say that I have put the whole Claudia episode behind me. I just wanna think of her as a good supporting teammate and a normal friend. The intense resentment I used to feel has somehow vanished cos I guess she no longer plays an important part in my life and there is still good in her. So happy to finally be able to feel great playing with her. Though it would have been a lot less tiring and easier playing in alf's team, I was really glad that jaz picked me to play in sharks cos I had a chance to play with ppl I don't usually play with and got to make quite a few friends in the midst. Really happy to have made friends with goofball val:) really admire her courage to play with her back injury which is really bad that she once laid in bed for 2 months and had to now pop 4 painkillers before playing.AND SHE STILL OFFERED TO BE THE BUDDY SUB FOR ME. What the. Wish I wasn't so weak so I could help take pressure off her. But this really showed what true teammates are for and I am really glad. Also, so many ppl came to give me tips today, be it to survive, what to eat, how to stretch, how to make the touches. Alf, Karen, jaz, derel, chu. Especially touched by chu, makes me feel that it was a really good choice going to todaks:))
