Its beauty is so mesmerizing it makes me forget everything else (other than Sinee of course), yet within this beauty lies this feeling of the unknown. Could this be the calm before a storm?

Anniversary
365 days of unconditional love.
Being with Sinee has been the most wonderful thing so far. I know it is not uncommon for attached individuals to say this, but I just want to say it anyway. Besides, how many people can actually find their best friends in their soulmates? I'm so glad I'm one of the few.

Bad habits
Totally no mood to study. I really want to study for Pragmatics, but it just seems as though it won't be happening till it's like one day before the exam.
