How sometimes you plan and plan and plan and you get so frustrated how things don’t work out and one fine day, it actually does work out without you even intending for it to work out anymore. Like how my initial summer plans to go to US were dashed a long time back and now are confirmed. I’m going to be in California/Washington for 2 whole months. And the best part is that I don’t have to worry about being financially strapped. SUPER excited!

How sometimes we can take so many things for granted. I used to think I didn’t have to worry about not having a job after I graduate but now I’m not so sure. Let’s just say it’s hanging in the air because of certain other things I wish to pursue over the next few months. I’m awaiting a response from the firm if they would be so kind as to accomodate my changing needs - or else I’ll soon be jobless. Crikey! So now I’m back to the flurry of job applications and sending out resumes, just to be on the safe side.

How you can read people’s blogs discreetly and (sort of) know them in real life. How weird it is to pass them by and feel downright strange because you know more about them than you were meant to. EVEN if their blogs are not personal. Yet, you can’t tell them because you don’t really know them and you just happened to have stumbled across their blogs. It isn’t really your fault right?

How quickly alcohol can be your friend and how much faster it can be dumped. Was in a foul mood because I was upset about something which I misunderstood (and because I couldn’t study) so I went with Bab to Boat Quay to down some Hoegardens. Bab has started to call them "whoregardens", albeit affectionately, since they’ve been featuring so often lately. YET once I found out that I had misread the whole situation and that I had been wrong about it all, I went right back home, still quite sober, and managed to study. Hah! How much more ironic can you get?

How quickly I get addicted to things online. I’m like a virtual spongecloth for all fads. I can never seem to pry myself away from the fads and the dumbest thing is that they’re usually virtual. I’m beginning to turn into a geek. Yikes. I wanted to be a nerd. Not a geek!

Last but not least, how some things are just NOT meant to be. I should now just give up dreaming and thinking about all the things I desire. If it’s meant to be, it shall. I shouldn’t mess with fate or it’ll bite me with vengeance. And everytime I try to twist and turn events around, I lose control of it alll. YET, when I just let things be as they are, they turn out to be perfectly fine. So there - that’s my new goal - DO NOTHING!
