Right, time for new stories.

Leave me blank pages for my dear words.

If you, like me, are about to dive into a new phase in your life, scream EHYOOO :) I wish you well. I pray for you to be filled with Tigger's confidence, Owl's wisdom, Pooh bear's positivity and Piglet's courage. Nothing in this life will be too big or too great to overcome. You know, you CAN actually do it.

So, how little?

"What is your heart made up of?" he asked.

"Feelings, lots and lots of them." she replied, as she looked at her heart.

"Really?" he questioned, with absolute.

"Yeah. And they can bring you to a whole different world, just like that."

"I'd like to have myself some feelings, they sound great. Visiting different worlds..."

"Yeah. It's great. Except for when you can't get out." she said, shrugging her shoulders.

"ah." he replied, with all of his heart.

And just like that, it ended.

Show me all that I could be

2011-08-24T14:00:00.003+08:00

And i fall on my knees

Tell me how's the way to be

Tell me how's the way to go

Tell me all that i should know

And i fall on my knees

Tell me how's the way to go

Tell me how's the way to be

To evoke some empathy

Danger will follow me now

Everywhere i go

Angels will call on me

And take me to my home

Well this tired mind

Just wants to be lead home

It's okay

2011-07-31T10:23:00.000+08:00

But it's okay because I understand :)

Closure?

2011-07-30T21:45:00.003+08:00

I think that closure with certain things in the past, more importantly people, is quite important. Without that closure, these things find their way back into your life again, through them little cracks. And that isn't always good. We talk about timing all the time and in this case, timing is a big part of it. Closure of course isn't the easiest of things to find, or to achieve, or to gain. It's a group effort and as we all know, working as a group or a team always comes with its challenges.

It starts getting complicated when strong emotions are involved, like Love, which underlies almost everything, maybe. or Hate. Hate is a strong word though so no, not Hate. More of a dislike or a frustration, or a confusion.

Hmm, we'll just have to wait and see.

I want to be the same Charlotte here as I am at home. There are moments where you lose yourself for a bit. I think it's actually quite scary when you catch yourself doing it. Of course you're not consciously DOING it, it sort of just happens, maybe?

Something for me to think about.

"You and I must recognize that God leads us every step of the way, whether we understand His leading or not. To hear God say "Go" or to hear Him say "Stay" is usually easier than to hear Him say "Wait"! In potential ridicule, the prophet of God waited all night to hear the Lord God give him further instructions. How long are we willing to wait on God? Do we trust Him enough to wait on Him today?"

It isn't often that I blog about my everyday life, but I will today.
So, exactly 4 weeks until le premier show. How am I feeling? Excited for sure, but it is a bittersweet end to the year. Changes and choices and changes and choices. What's important when you're buried under all that, if you ever do get buried under all that, is to recognise the little things. I do sound like a broken record but it is a point which is overlooked almost all the time. Either that, or just not understood at all. I confess that I am still in the midst of learning about all that. Being able to recognise your situation is a starting point.

2011-04-10T01:43:00.004+08:00

There are people out there, strangers, whom will one day be in your life one way or another, and turn your life around in ways you would've never imagined. There are also people out there, strangers, whom are just 'waiting' for you to come into their lives and turn their lives around. So, don't stop believing that you're heading somewhere, somewhere great. When that time comes, and that time WILL come, that's when all the praise, honour and glory goes to the One who has guided you and presented you with this amazing thing called life. You've only got one life, you really do only have one you know. So just as you would enjoy a tub of your favourite flavoured ice-cream after a heartbreak or what have you, enjoy life in the exact same way. All you ice-cream lovers out there, you know what I'm talking about. And if you don't love ice-cream, then go away! Kidding. Lotsa love =)

How many times have you wanted to start your post with a 'So' ? It happens a lot does it not? :) Anyway...

This afternoon, I received a message from a friend, a message telling me about what he/she(I don't like being too personal, and yes, gender is personal) had experienced something great earlier today. He/She talked about how he/she had just realised/discovered the greatness of giving; KINDNESS, GENEROSITY, LOVE, you know... all that. He/She explained that the smile of gratitude that he had received from an elderly women simply made him, happy. He/She also explained how that one smile and that one sincere 'thank you' cannot help but remain in his/her heart until now, and I believe that it will remain in his/her heart for a very long time.

Now, if you ask me, that right there is proof of the love that exists in this world. Moments like these are also a reminder, to me, and I hope to you, that we are all just people. We are all merely humans. We need each other. So don't go trying to conquer the world by yourself because first of all, it's selfish and secondly, it's just not going to work.

I'm currently having brownies with cream cheese. If you haven't tried it already, TRY IT! It's good. Serious.
While your brownies are baking in the oven, scoop out a few tablespoons of your cream cheese(my favourite = PHILADELPHIA) and add in enough sugar to lightly coat your scoops of cream cheese [just like snow :), how pretty. ]. Then, mix away with a fork until smooth and creamy. I can guarantee you will be having more than just one slice.

2011-01-09T18:55:00.003+08:00

'Do not let fear stop you from chasing your dream.'

I've heard this phrase being said countless times in countless situations but it has never really applied to me personally, until now. You know those certain situations' where you think, "yeah, that's not exactly a great situation to be in, but that'll never happen to me :)". You know those? I'm not talking about the life/death situations, but more personal situations. For example, yeah, I've just spent 15 minutes trying to come up with an example which does not apply to me, but I can't. As you would've probably realised, I'm not too creative, neither am I good with words which are both essentials for blogging no? Well, I own now what I have now, and that will change as I "mature".

What do you think about the idea of humans "growing up" and "becoming more mature" as they say? Not physically yeah, but mentally, psychologically. I don't know... I just think that as we grow older, what we are really doing is learning to suppress anything in us that is supposedly(lined out by OUR society) not acceptable.

Almost Home.

2010-12-22T12:26:00.000+08:00

'Every situation that takes place is a learning experience'. This is a motto that I have been living by and intend to live by for the rest of my life. Isn't it so true? I believe that whether bad or good, whatever happens in our lives is a learning experience and there will ALWAYS be something to take from it. Isn't this such a blessing? What we often perceive as bad things that take place in our lives are usually the things that rightly prepares us for larger more exciting things in our future. If we do not go through what we have to go through, the future would then be superbly overwhelming for us to understand and furthermore, to live it.

I am sure many of you can agree that going through life is like going through the school system. First Kindergarten followed my Primary/Elementary School followed by High School and so on. So, the higher up you move through the school system the more you learn; "another year older, another year wiser".

For example: In Kindergarten, we learn the alphabet. We learn to JOIN THE DOTS(woo!) in order to form a shape which stands for a 'letter' in the alphabet. We learn that these shapes represent different sounds; often, funny sounds. We learn that these different shapes can be put together in all kinds of sequences to form a 'word'; this word usually refers to a particular something. We learn that we can then arrange these words into a long/short straight line which would then form what we call a 'sentence'. As in life, the older we get the more words we know; the better we can phrase our words into sentences. We learn that the power of our tongue, our words is sometimes more than we can handle.

I seem to lose my subject every time I write a long post. Does that happen to you as well? Well, the important thing is that you understand what I'm trying to say, so do you? haha I have this thing where I sometimes tell things to people expecting that to fully understand, just because I fully understand :D This often leads to me losing my words during a conversation, and it usually goes like this:
[Scenario- Deep into conversation with Friend A]

me: ...yeah that's so true! It's like...
[Long pause- a pause past the point where a silence is acceptable.]
Friend A: [looks intently at me, waiting]
[Pause continues- a pause where it's just begging for a sound, any sound.]
Friend A: It's like? [smiles politely- but secretly growing quite impatient.]
me: It's like...yeah... I don't know... you know?

How confusing can one be, even I confuse myself sometimes.

Anyway, back to the 'seriousness', yes, I know I am young, and I know I have PLENTY that I have yet to learn in life. But, as for now, this is what I own.

ATSA

2010-11-27T13:18:00.002+08:00

For 12 years now, État d'urgence has held a large-scale artistic "manifestival" in Place Émilie-Gamelin, organized by Action Terroriste Socialement Acceptable (ATSA). The event takes place just before a long winter sets in, and is a multi-disciplinary artistic and community-building celebration that invites Montreal's homeless in from the cold. It also offers round-the-clock services, including food (a banquet by Pied du Cochon chef Martin Picard, no less), clothing and shelter to Montreal's poor.

This year, the theme of the event is "Tout Inclus!" (which translates to "all-inclusive" or "includes all"). From Nov. 25-28, Montreal's dark and uninviting Berri Square will be cheekily transformed into an all-inclusive beach get-away (see map), featuring "vacation activities" like mini putt and shuffleboard, as well as round-the-clock performances by local and international artists as well as endless cultural offerings (theater, circus, storytelling, lectures, poetry, slam) for free.

However, this year's organizers have been holid-azed, having to swallow a bitter-sweet cocktail (with a twist of irony) just prior to their anticipated event. On Nov. 16, only weeks prior to the event, Patrimoine Canada announced it won't fund the festival, leaving ATSA 43 000$ under budget from last year. The budget shortfall ensures ATSA will struggle with their financing. With no way to plan or predict for the bad news, it was unexpected. It's also likely to kill État D'Urgence for good.

Why has it become impossible for our current government to get these funding decisions out in a timely and respectful fashion? Or to respect the basic economic well-being and social health of long-standing festivals and community events?
Every year, État D'Urgence enlists the help of almost 300 artists, 400 volunteers, 20 community organizations and an eager general public. More than ever before, the event - and the people for whom it is intended, Montreal's homeless - will need your help. To see the very full list of activities, or to donate, visit www.atsa.qc.ca.

Your so-called abs.

2) the tendon aponeurosis
3) a vertically oriented muscle equally segmented into 2 by the linea alba.

It is Thursday tomorrow, which means a day before Friday, which also means a day before Saturday. And Saturday is the weekend! :) Got lots to catch up with, mostly work but it should be fine. I find that I'm more focused with my work when I'm out of the house. There are just too many distractions when you're at home; the bed, the kitchen, DVDs, the couch and other comfortable things. Wouldn't you agree?

If you've got a list of things to do, the best thing and the ONLY thing to do is to just get on with it. There really isn't anything else you can do. The list is gonna stay just the way it is unless you do something about it. Okay? This is a little note-to-self as well :)

Just remember that you're not the only one who is under piles of work. There are plenty of other people who are going through the exact same thing, so let that be part of your motivation and encouragement.

That feeling is back again. That sick, ill feeling you get when you listen to a song that just gets your heart and your stomach. Stomach isn't really a nice sounding word ey, but still, it's the feeling that counts. It's always the feeling that counts.

She's only 21 and ever so talented. French-Canadian indie pop singer, song-writer. Beautiful voice, beautiful lyrics :)

If you've got time, then watch the video from the beginning, if you've only got a few minutes to spare then you can skip to 2:20.

Have a great day ahead, you :)

Came across this today and enjoyed it :)

I miss how you use to be the reason I got out of bed to go to assembly in the mornings :)
It's amazing how much one can FEEL. The emotions... they're powerful man. no joke.

Today, I challenge you to allow your heart to feel. Allow yourself to feel and embrace your emotions. Do it.

Raspberry Muffin + Chai Tea

Freshly baked Raspberry Muffins and a mug hot Chai Tea at 9 pm; while watching Cake Boss. :) I like, I like.

I think I just found out why cupcake/muffin cases are ridged. It's probably so that when you stretch the case your cupcake/muffin is detached from the case for you to easily grab your cupcake/muffin... Is that right?
