In Love

I was listening to Celine Dion's "If Walls Could Talk" above & I was touched and all mushy w/e. It just got me thinking. I hear about love all the time, listen to songs about it & the songs really get to me. I really can't wait to be actually be in love, experience that amazing feeling, listen to my favourite love songs with more meaning and depth because I can actually feel it. Sometimes I wish it'd hurry up and happen already but from all I've heard, waiting for it is so worth it.

Wandering Mind

I'm just sitting on this bus and my mind is drifting in so many different directions.
Remembering all those social nights we used to have. Then all other classes except SS 3 had like 2 minutes for "dance, dance, dance." It was almost a crime sef for juniors to dance on the stage. But "SS 3 Dance! Dance!! Dance!!!" the girls would flock to the stage and those boys would be coming on like it's their father's house.

How about "SS 3, go fishing?" It was almost a sin for girls to "fish" but those boys would come, feeling like they were all that, and start acting like they were on their fathers' farms.

Anyway, those were the days. I've come a long way from then but sometimes I wish I could go back, you know?

Life was so simple then. We had a lot of drama, so much went down and it seemed like we had the worst problems and issues. I've grown since then, as I suppose most of us have, and in retrospect, most of those problems seem trivial; some of them even stupid. It didn't appear so at the time, but now I think life was what I wanted it to be, what I wish it is now - simple, carefree, exciting, awesome friends with whom to share the great experiences. There were a couple of growing pains, but that's all part of the experience, isn't it?

Those were really the days and I miss so much about them. It saddens me a little that memories are all that are left. I know someday in the future, I'll be saying similar things about these days.

7 Things I Want to Do in "le Futur Proche" (the Near Future)

* Spend a semester studying abroad (very likely France)
* Take Taekwondo seriously and seek advancement in it
* Learn to play the guitar and, maybe, the piano too
* Learn to speak Hindi
* Go skydiving
*Get voice training
* Travel to so many places and live for a while in places like India and England

Closing Statement

I kept telling myself I'd blog before 2010 was over but I didn't get to it. Anyway it's not too late to post my closing statement on 2010.

2010 was not the best of years for me, but thankfully it wasn't the worst too; at least it was better than 2009 in so many ways. I ended my first semester at Howard well and I'm happy for that. My experience was not all it could have been but I'm quite content with what I made of it except for maybe one part. I'm quite disappointed with myself about some things but I'm going to work super hard to change that this year.

I've been a bit preoccupied these days. My head has been in the clouds a bit too but a girl can dream, can't she?

This year, I have so many things to look forward to and so many things to do. I feel like I'll be making major contributions to my future this year. I just pray all these things work out for me. I have a couple of "resolutions" (I  won't call them that really) I guess, but I don't want to jinx them. Lemme just say I'd be taking more control of my life.

It's 11:24 p.m but it's still January 1st so I guess Happy New Year is still in order.
