digging for that Treasure | ||||
welcome No one ever followed his genius til it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say that the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal,--that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality....the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched. --Henry David Thoreau |
profile There are two words to describe me: 'atheistic' and 'cynical'. Anything else, you'll have to find out by yourself. Don't like it, sue me. And that's the awful truth. |

I created another blog,but this time, I will only post poems and such. Check it out... // Sunday, December 31, 2006, 7:05 PM My Sec School textbooks are so simple! I mean, they have cartoons in them! I thought I left that behind when I left primary school... Guess not. The only thing that changed is the Chinese textbooks: the chapters are longer, the characters are smaller and a lot harder to write. I'm gonna learn how to cook too, I mean, I have a whole textbook AND workbook where they test me on my cooking skills, with a little bit of science thrown into it. 'Home Economics' they call it. Well, I am going to a Girls' School. Well, I've got a song stuck in my head(Lydia's always got one stuck in her head) so I shall leave the lyrics of the last part of the song... And how we laugh and how we smile And how this heart was yours and mine and how a dream was out of reach I stood by you, you stood by me We took each day and made it shine We wrote our names across the sky We ride so fast, we ride so free And I knew that you had me LeAnn Rimes--Please Remember //, 12:00 PM Ashes of Life Love has gone and left me and the days are all alike; Eat I must, and sleep I will, -- and would that night were here! But ah! -- to lie awake and hear the slow hours strike! Would that it were day again! -- with twilight near! Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do; This or that or what you will is all the same to me; But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through, -- There's little use in anything as far as I can see. Love has gone and left me, -- and the neighbors knock and borrow, And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse, -- And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow There's this little street and this little house. Edna St. Vincent Millay // Thursday, December 28, 2006, 11:27 AM Sorrow Sorrow like a ceaseless rain Beats upon my heart. People twist and scream in pain, -- Dawn will find them still again; This has neither wax nor wane, Neither stop nor start. People dress and go to town; I sit in my chair. All my thoughts are slow and brown: Standing up or sitting down Little matters, or what gown Or what shoes I wear. Edna St. Vincent Millay //, 11:12 AM Today's just another normal, boring day, the kind of day where my internet connection's shitty and there's nothing to watch on TV... Too bad... Doris just asked me whether I was going to my class' (6D rocks!!) party, so I asked my dad. Just so you know, my dad's semi-deaf, and is so senile he forgets the questions I ask him seconds ago. Which means he didn't answer this time either. Maybe silence means 'yes'... ... or 'no'... ... or 'maybe'... ... Whatever. Something really gross happened to me yesterday. When I was anout to go to Audrey's house, I found a whole lot of dead ants on my umbrella, uh! But the thing I don't understand is how they got there. I always keep my umbrella in my bag... I DON'T want to know! I'm watching 'That 70's show' on TV, and man, that girl can burn! She once told all the cheerleaders the reason why some girl couldn't spilt was because she had a weener...ouch...BURN! // Wednesday, December 27, 2006, 3:52 PM THE DEATH OF AUTUMN When reeds are dead and a straw to thatch the marshes, And feathered pampas-grass rides into the wind Like aged warriors westward, tragic, thinned Of half their tribe, and over the flattened rushes, Stripped of its secret, open, stark and bleak, Blackens afar the half-forgotten creek,-- Then leans on me the weight of the year, and crushes My heart. I know that Beauty must ail and die, And will be born again,--but ah, to see Beauty stiffened, staring up at the sky! Oh, Autumn! Autumn!--What is the Spring to me? Edna St. Vincent Millay //, 10:52 AM Have you ever yearned another yet the lover had no care has a tear escaped your eye yet no more would even dare does your heart melt melt with a glance as you offer up a prayer when you look into their heart does you heart yearn to be there have you wanted them so badly that your heart would start to bleed have you tried to say I love you yet a voice would not proceed don't lend your heart to love dear friend let your tears fall like the rain a healing heart will break again and sadness will remain you'll ponder thoughts of real love and wonder if there're true pity takes no place in life upon a heart so blue grand is love yet merciless the price to pay is high a choice to take of love or death my heart would rather die never lend your heart to love you'll find my words are true don't doubt me friend for I should know I fell in love with you Jen Amaya // Monday, December 25, 2006, 4:50 PM This letter from Nicholas Sparks' 'Nights in Rodanthe' is so sweet... "When I sleep, I dream of you, when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart." Don't you LOVE Sparks? //, 4:36 PM Well, I've just finished watching 'Pearl Harbour', and just can't understand why we humans would want to turn into the monsters that we dream about in our nightmares? We kill our own kind in order to claim some part of what wasn't ours for the taking: the world. We are even worse than the fictional monsters in our mind, for those monsters have NO choice but to destroy(they were born like that!) but we DO. All well, what's done is done... It's Chrismas Eve! But I feel as if it's just another normal day of my life. It feels kinda monotonous, wonder why? Perhaps it's because we have no tree(not even the small one we always had!), or maybe it's because my family's each doing something different instead of coming together to celebrate. But then, when have we ever celebrated Chrismas together as one happy family? My mom and my bro aren't here though. They're in China going on some wackass tour before visiting my relatives(they haven't seen my bro for a long time). Wonder how their doing... I've nothing more to say, but I leave some quotes here... "Work like you don't need the money. Dance like no one is watching. And love like you've never been hurt." -Mark Twain "Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please." -Mark Twain "They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." -Edgar Allan Poe "To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else." -Emily Dickinson // Sunday, December 24, 2006, 5:50 PM Crescent Girls', well what say about it? Other than being a hundred miles from home, there's not much else. There are a shit load of RGPS pupils there(there are already four in my class alone)! Uniform's pretty sucky: yellowish t-shirt with an enormous dark blue skirt. Well, I'll have to live with it... Imagine what it would be like to be crazy, to see things that are not there. How can you live like that? You'll never know who's real or not! You'll never be able to tell which 'life' is real and which is but a dream. This probably means that the only way to escape is to live alone, that way, the only people you'll see are the ones that aren't real. At least you'll have someone to talk to, even though your actually talking to yourself... Russell Crowe in 'A Beautiful Mind' played a schizophrenic, and at the end of the movie, he said this, "It is only from the mysterious equations of love that any logical reason be found." True, very true...(Audrey, you might want to put this on your blog) I don't think love exist in the real world. I mean, with so many divorces, how can it exist? The only place it exists is in the heart and the dreams that people have. This means that if you do find love(...which you'll find once in a blue moon...), your actually living a fantasy in reality, which is a serious paradox... Well, "All I know of love is that love is all there is." - Emily Dickinson // Friday, December 22, 2006, 8:17 PM The Truth Were the clouds to part And the stars to rise Would I see Euphoria's eyes Or Despair's misleading lies? -Me! // Thursday, December 21, 2006, 4:32 PM |
