frickin blogger
So I had poured my heart out in one of the longest entries i've ever done, thought-provoking, retrospective, insightful... and when I clicked on "publish post", blogger goes down for maintenance... nothing I could do would bring it back, yes I tried going back, and forward and back again, but no, it was gone... bullet to the heart I tell ya, bullet to the heart...
So now blogger's back up and working again, and there's no way I could possibly reproduce the epiphany I had before, so... in bits and pieces that I can remember...
1.) Ultimately, the decisions you make not only affect yourself, but everyone one of those around you.
2.) Life is at least 75% struggle, and most people would be lucky to say that they are even happy ~25% of the time.
3.) The obstacles you overcome will make you that much more experienced and stronger.
4.) Corny as it sounds, soul-searching isn't for dummies. Take a moment to look at what things really mean to you, or you'll lose sight of people who are important to you... which leads to...
5.) It is vital to remember what you had to start with, those who were there at the very beginning, and those that stayed til the very end.
That's all I could revive from my random thoughts earlier...
On to a brighter side, a few highlights from this week...
I got to be an extra in a upcoming Will Smith movie, called The Pursuit of Happiness. Aside from being 2 feet away from Will on a bus scene =D I also got seranaded by a guy who happen to have his guitar with him on the set. Since I was too scared to actually talk to Mr. Smith, having a song sung to you with the strummings of a guitar by a random stranger can really make ur day...
During lab today, I was complaining to my classmates that we were missing the season premiere of Smallville at that very moment... the girl sitting across from me confirmed my disappointment, then said that I look a bit like Kristen Kruek! I was a bit startled and made sure I heard correctly. Indeed I did, and I told her that was very flattering... esp. since someone said a long time ago that I looked nothing like her... but anyways, it was a sweet thing for her to say...
I have begun to count on the kindness of strangers during hard times... it reaffirms my theory that you should smile at everyone you meet, or even walk by, because your kindness could make that person's day...
