Yesterday

After college, I would like to...

Consider yourself privileged, because you won't see this anywhere else except here and on our currently-on-hiatus yearbook.LOL

Oh, and meet the cool staff! :)

Night Drive

"Forget what we're told before we get too old 

Show me a garden that's bursting into life."

                                                 - Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars

Almost there.

The road to success...

...is right in front of me.

And with God's help, I will get there.

"For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the One who helps you.'"

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

Others say not knowing makes life more exciting, more fun. But right now, I think not knowing is such a scary thing. Not knowing means that there's a great possibility of committing an error, of doing the wrong thing, choosing the wrong answer. Right now, ignorance is a thick wall blocking me from getting where I want to be, what I want to have.

But no matter how thick this wall may be, regardless of how many ATPs it will take to bring it down, I'm going to keep trying. I won't stop, and at the end of all this, I will be able to tell myself that I did what I could.

Not knowing is such a scary thing. But then again, knowing everything is much more scary. I guess sometimes we just have to do what we can, then take that big leap of faith.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle - states that it is impossible to know both the exact position and the exact velocity of an object at the same time.

I can see the red, white and free in you
You light the night up like the moon
And underneath your clouds, I see the blue 

You're hopeless 'cause you tell the truth

The stars are jealous of your shine

If you were mine

There's not a thing I wouldn't do 

You're black and beautiful, yellow, tan

You're white as light and soft as sand

With greens and greys and oh for days

A silver lining on the way you cover everyone

Just like a morning sun

You turn me into someone I would rather be 

OOO- I love your every color

OOO- I love your everything

You wear the day around you

Like it's yours to stay around you

Maybe I could stay around you too

If that's alright with you 

You're coffee brown and bubble gum pink

And oh I think the shade of you is on the brink

Of changing all the ways I see the world

I could drown inside a single drop

Of all the kinds of things you got

And all the kinds of things I'm not 

Might just give me a chance to see

From way up where you are

Above the silent stars

Just dancing in the sky 

You're better than any rainbow

You're brighter than the sun

You look like my first day of summer

When my spring is on the run

You're gold and more gold

And you're platinum too

With snow toned, copper attitude

I don't know what I'd do without you

I don't know what I'll do about you

I just fell in love with Train all over again. This is currently my background music while studying. And speaking of studying, I'll be off to school in a while. We're going to study in the library for a change. Can you believe that in my four years in college, I never borrowed a single book from the library? So yeah, I may be an avid reader, but no, I don't read Remington's or Katzung during my free time.LOL


Anyways, wish me luck for my series of exams!

Have a full glass of gratitude.

Thank You Lord for another day--another opportunity to learn, another chance to make things right. Thank You for another day to love and be loved.

It's what you do to me.

Oh photography, look at what you do to me.

Grasp

So innocent and frail she were
Little hand engulfing your littlest finger
but the big bad world out there
couldn't harm one strand of her hair
couldn't invade her in her harbor.


Time has passed; she is now a lady
Now ready to hold the world in her palms
but she will always be your little baby
whose home was in your safe, comfortable arms
whose favorite sound was your melodious heartbeat
and your smile the most beautiful sight ever seen.


She will always be that little girl
who needs you to hold her hand in yours
who's clueless and lost without you.

Happy Mother's Day, Mother! I might run out of words, but I will never run out of gratitude. And I will never run out of love for you.

In Another Life

You are a strong base
and I am a strong acid
Together we bring danger
but also hypnotizing beauty.

You have your conjugate acid
and I have my conjugate base
There's no way around it
and all we can do is wait.

Maybe in one life or another
We are perfect for each other,
meant to be together
like sodium and water.

And maybe one day
several light years from now
You'll find me, I'll find you
and we won't ever let go.

And upon that day,
we will be invincible
And one million newton of force
will neither break nor shake our bond.

Temperature, pressure, volume
None of them matters
because our chemistry
will exist 'til infinity.

P=nRT/V

I was born a crammer. I never had study habits. Back in high school when my parents sent me to my room to study, I always fell asleep with the book or my notes open but unread. Fast forward to college when I studied hours or an hour before the exams. I guess my brain is already used to working under time pressure. So even if you lock me up right now in a room with nothing else but books and reviewers, I'm 99% sure that more time will be spent on daydreaming than studying. That's just how it works for me.

Others are on "facebook hiatus", social isolation, and all that stuff, but I don't think I can do it myself. I can't live without photography and writing. I may be pressured by how far they have already gone in terms of the review materials, but at the same time, I love this balance. I love having some kind of life outside the review somehow. Sometimes I feel guilty for not being focused enough, but it's really, really hard to change, especially if you're happy with things just the way the are.

And I'm happy with things just the way they are.
