I never get that many mentions on anyone's webpage. And when I do, it's mainly for disparaging stuff.

Don't be so emo, a voice inside my head cautions. It's time to bring out the smiles.

And I will smile.

Once Twice more I'm quoting Denyse - "Be the reason people smile"; "Okay enough with this emo crap. Wake up!"

Something is stirring. Something from ( Read more... )

So, with private, friends-only and public posts counted, this is my fiftieth post on Livejournal. Happy 50th Post to my dearest Livejournal page!

I'm feeling euphoric. It's not because this is the fiftieth update on my Livejournal page, but because ελπίδα exists. A new wave of it has come and refreshed me, and I pay tribute to its origin by linking ( Read more... )

What a surprise.
If this, as well as this, have happened, what else can't I achieve?

I can do anything I set my mind to.

When you talk to someone good who really knows you, regardless of whatever she or he says, or of whatever the effect her or his words are on you (unless they're really acidic), the effect on you is always cathartic.

"Thou shalt treat everyone with dignity, even those who are puerile in thine eyes" is a rule I hereby pledge to follow.

What do a relay race, a ball game match and a choral competition have in common?

The winning group is usually the strongest. By "strongest", I mean strength in various aspects, but the aspects that all have in common are the strength of the members' combined will and the strength of their desire to win. These would have been manifested as diligence ( Read more... )

O-level Chinese... The composition questions were totally off-tangent and unexpected; Paper 2, however, made up for a lot. I just hope that I didn't steer my questions into the wrong waters.
