I can't remember when I started liking to learn things, but I know I still do.
The part I love about growing older, is that I get to learn a lot on the way. I'm so excited about living life as I picture situations I might find myself in, experiencing many first-times and different things, just thinking makes me wanna do so much and have myself put in any possible opportunity for getting my hands on something new. It's definitely possible to do what's on my list! Just gotta remind myself that there's no 'too late' in learning. Hm, is there a hurry? |

That was and still is a joke to me. Honest mistake, but very cute.
Anyway, I feel like my brain has stopped working while my body continues to work physically. As in since I've been working, I find myself receiving so much input so that my brain has ceased to function in its thinking, challenging of thoughts. All it ever does is receives the input, processes it, understands, and the chain stops. Now in writing this, I figured I'm starting to think and churn some output.
I had dinner with this colleague of mine just this week. Something I would remember vividly is her sharing with me about her wedding and her marriage. From her, I get this sense that marriage is something really wonderful and powerful, which is from a perspective I never got to see. She said that after her marriage, all her dreams came true, literally. She wanted a degree, pursued, and got it. Got a job that is tough-going (her current job), but she loves it because it's exactly what she wants. And her prayers, they were so answered. Prayed for family relationships, they got better; prayed for financial blessing, was over-blessed; etc. I don't know. When I heard her story, I just kept wow-ing. It's amazing!
I'm learning something new everyday, I like it!
But then I get overwhelmed – there is just too many things to contain. With so many things to learn and understand, I don't think I can possibly consume everything, even though I would like to cos everything's so interesting, so curious. It's a lot to take in. But then again, if we all knew everything, then there wouldn't be silly mistakes like asking what's the difference between Snow Leopard and Snow Bear anymore. So cartoon I tell you.
This man walked into shop, saw a bear icon on the iMac desktop – birth of latest OS Snow Bear (new!), became an inventor instantly.
(The bear icon obviously wasn't for Snow Bear lah) |

I'm starting to believe that so does laziness.
Very bad. God, help!!! I must grit my teeth and get over and be the master of my laziness!
And I still hate making decisions. Even deciding what to eat or wear is becoming troubling. |

It's been only 2 days of work at Beach House Pictures and I've developed a mild phobia of climbing the looong flight of stairs up to Mount Sophia. Some errand-running and lunch are the reasons of having to climb up and down not just once, but thrice. It's scary everytime I stand at the bottom.. in my heart a fierce battle to claim the faith of a mustard seed (figuratively) that I can overcome the stairs everytime I meet with it. No friends though, never. After these two months I would never want to go up that way anymore.
If you're wondering what kind of a job scope I hold.. No, wait. BHP actually covers the pre-production and post-production of the documentaries filmed overseas for TV channels like.. Discovery Channel, BBC etc.
It's not bad at all, actually. The people there are nice, but they speak with an English accent. I've got my work desk, which I don't really use because I work on the desktop computer beside it. But best is, there's a pantry with finger food and drinks which I was told to "don't be shy" about! Hahaha. I'm learning a new thing everyday, and I guess I kinda learnt to appreciate such documentaries more now. It's really tedious work I must say..
Side note, I was supposed to collect something at this travel agency. Of course, I lost my way! Haha! Thing is, after I collected the stuff and was heading back, a foreign couple came up to me to ask me for directions to their hotel! Hahah. I managed to lead them correctly because I passed by the hotel when I was lost. What irony!
Sometimes I wonder why on earth I would be there. I thought I was not happy with the job.. But that's not all. I do enjoy it too. Guess it just takes more time for me to go through more? I'm hoping and praying that I would persevere through these (mere) two months and gain lotsa good and bad experience (which I know I would).
Tomorrow's Day Three and I'm pretty excited, cos I'll get to watch a video in Madagascar while transcribing. Saw some snippets of the start and I'm... captivated by the beach! A fine place.

Escapist: I hate to think about it, it's a thought too ambiguous to consider.
Realist (thinking ideally): I'll give some consideration to it, but give me some time, too.

Thank God for 3 IJTP converts today woohoo! Really thankful praying that IJTP will be completed by end August!!! (Sorry about the lack of faith previously, now I'm starting to believe it IS possible even with many things going on but yes I will give my all to whatever it takes no more being lazy and slacking already joannelee!)
A super random (maybe lame) thought I had in the shower some days ago: we were told of the 4 personalities - melancholic, choleric, phlegmatic and saguine - and randomly I derived an addition to them - the elastic. People with the elastic personality alter themselves to fit into whatever situation with whichever of the 4 personalities.
I am looking forward to semester break.
I have many things I want to do badly.
Most importantly, I want to travel.
I am a firm believer of planning. Planning in everything - time, finances (mildly), events etc. Practice had me become so. I see that planning does more good than harm (or maybe no harm at all). Then I was just wondering, can anything be over-planned?
