silver white winters that melt into springs.

it's so easy to be happy when it's warm and sunny! it's unbelievable that the temperature's been in the mid- to high 20s (celsius). the daisies, daffodils, bluebells and tulips are so pretty... and the trees are green again. i know the rain and cold are coming back but i'm gonna enjoy wearing shorts and flip-flops all day and leaving my windows open while it lasts.

*sigh of contentment* =)

things floating around in my head that i've been meaning to blog about:
1) ballet
2) the british isles
3) samoa
4) human trafficking
5) counterinsurgency in malaya
6) i-night
7) my birthday
8) my honors thesis
9) post-graduation plans/graduation in a month and a half (!)
10) friends

"no, this is how it works
you peer inside yourself
you take the things you like
and try to love the things you took

and then you take the love you made
and stick into some
someone else's heart
pumping someone else's blood

and walking arm in arm
you hope it don't get harmed
but even if it does
you'll just do it all again."

blackjack!

so here i am on the brink of adulthood.
i don't feel it. i feel 18, 19... 16, sometimes.
it warrants a big celebration, i know, but i feel rather subdued.
the forces that be would like a repeat of my shaolin soccer episode, but i want it to be memorable in a different way. different how exactly, i don't know though.
and it's good friday!
at least i feel better, despite the green muck coming out of my nose (sorry) and annoying cough (that i now have drowsy cough suppressants for!).
but yeah, i think it matters more to me who i spend it with than what i actually do. =)
it's gonna be an interesting day.

goodbye childhood! i promise to continue to regress frequently.

"this is how it works
you're young until you're not
you love until you don't
you laugh until you cry
you cry until you laugh
and everyone must breathe
until their dying breath."
