Life Takes A Toll

I thought the long between classes would be the best time to do whatever I wanted like play ping pong and catch up on my series, but I guess there's a limit.

And now ping pong doesn't catch my attention as much as it used to. Because I rather spend it with you :) 


I think I just have to get used to my breaks...after all it's only for 7weeks.

But I'm already tired on the second week.  Short sem means assignments come earlier and tend to be rushed. It means I have to wake up now!

I'm tired even though I get more than enough sleep...I would guess it's the accumulation.

Well, I think as I get used to the classes and friends, I'll get less fatigued.  That's it for now I guess...time to get ready to sleep :)

Happy

I am happy that life is not so bad. This semester's schedule may be a mess, but at least I got friend to keep me running.  I've never felt so happy to actually wake up early for classes. 


So the new semester has begun and we got our taste of Ms. Winnie.  She has a record of being strict, and I think she fits her reputation quite well.  At least we survived her first class...which she was being lenient on.  haha


I wanted to take Intro to Anthro at the beginning of this sem but I didn't like the lecturer because he couldn't speak clearly enough, so now I'm in Intro to Mass Comm.  And I like it! IT's fun learning about mass comm and such because it's a creative field.  Next sem I'm planning to take Intro to Design if it's offered, :)


I'm happy that what I've been struggling with has been resolved.  I used to feel dry playing for main sanc worship.  I thought that it was not my calling.  But after hearing someone say that whatever that tells us not to use our talents does not come from God...I was like...whoopsies.  Now I'm going to do my best to break this lazy spirit. There may be tons of things on my plate but I can take a bowl if God is with me ;D


I'm happy to also see my Aka get married yesterday. 


I'm happy because you are opening up to me, and so far I think things are going well.  Patience is the key I guess...


Oh, and one more reason to be happy. I collected my license yesterday!! Yes! AND AND AND AND I drove home from church!! There's something lacking in an auto car...I think I still want a manual one...but but but I droooove! 


Okay better start getting ready to go to church :)

The reason I hate planning things

is because there is a high chance that it will fail...true story
pleasepleaseplease may this be a success. I need a selfesteem booster

The storybook of life

Life is a storybook

Open it and take a look

It's full of the journeys you took

And the words that you spoke.

A treasure trove of your life

A written account of your strife

A thin sheet that can be cut with a knife

This is the storybook of life.

It is you who fill this pages 

With your chapters and stages

Your story engages

And will bring a smile to all ages!

It is full of suspense!

When others see through your lens!

The road so hard and tense!

Yet complete with joy and friends!

This is your storybook,

You decide the way it will look

Whether it be serious or a joke

This is your storybook.

You have a choice to be who you want to be

Let the world see what you want them to see

Lay down your baggages and be absolutely free

After all, this is your story...

Geek-mode activated: Thor

I haven't done any movie reviews for a while....hmmm...but this movie has inspired me to write!

THOR

It's like one of those movies that brings back the past - your childhood (well, my childhood ended two months ago).  Well, to those who really know me, I'm quite a geek, but not just any geek - I'm a comic geek! I'm proud to be one and Thor reminded me of how much I loved being one. Before we move on, I just have one thing to say - DC, Marvel owns you!

You are know about Thor as the Asgardian God of Thunder.  The superhero of Earth! Well I know more! He's the original member of the Avengers! He's the son of Odin! He succeeded Odin as King of Asgard and sacrificed his life and all of Asgard to end Ragnarök - the cycle of rebirth of the Asgardians. I think that's enough stuff to know that I'm a geek lol

Well, to the movie now.  I liked the choice of actors and the play with the original script.  I didn't like the choice to introduce the Warriors Three and Lady Sif WITHOUT INTRODUCING BALDER! I mean, Balder is Thor's best friend! 

And why did they kill Laufey so early? And why does Loki get to kill Laufey? I mean Laufey is meant to live a long time more until peace is disturbed...

Now the best parts of the story! First, the cameo appearance of HAWKEYE! For those who don't know, Agent Barton, the guy that was aiming at Thor when Thor was fighting Shield for Mjionir is Hawkeye.  Another epic part would be the sequel! I mean there's going to be a new destroyer probably a more powerful one...it just occurred to me that the ending part of Thor may not be for Thor II but actually for Avengers! haha...I mean, it was Loki in the first place that accidentally formed the Avengers when he made a threat that Thor could not face alone.  OOOO!!!! Geek mode overdrive! 

It's an epic movie that makes not only comic nuts drool :)
