#150 - these nights...

i've stayed up to watch wimbledon with my dad. currently i am very disappoint. all the players i rooted for just died and failed me. i'm referring to: tomic, rafa, tsonga, sharapova Σ( ̄。 ̄ノ)ノ not happy jan. esp sad when bitter texted me joyfully throughout the match :(
also went to archy's party on sat. quite fun (: but i never realised people were so ... dirty minded:P and most of us are officially terrible at bothering to assemble a costume. and i officially hate the phrase, "get in there." <--- still don't fully understand exactly what it means, since a zillion people told me different versions, but it's really really irritating. also made new friends there, and saw a dear old good buddy who i hadn't seen in more than a year and a half: gow!! my favourite mad genius, especially with her hair (: <3



i am feeling more awesome too. i've actually decided to type up dot points and summaries for bio + chem now instead of leaving them last minute. my first baby steps to non-last-minute-cramming :D anddddd a very nice excerpt i found whilst browsing the beautiful interwebs. i read it when i am in doubt of my abilities (which i am, frequently):

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
"

NB: the god part is like " ...." i don't fully agree with it, but i'll leave it as it is.
