Simple Thoughts

Have you ever had the feeling as if you were wiped out completely from a place?

just a few weeks ago, I have had this experience, it is scary, I was calling a home of a friend’s who I use to talk to frequently, but somehow…. somehow the moment the person on the other end of the line picked up the phone, I felt a hard cold wind hitting me… they had forgotten about me…. like it felt like it was my first time calling… not only could they not recognize my voice, they were quite surprised I was calling…

I really hate that feeling, it was as if I had no more identity, everything that I have done or talked to them about had somehow been erased from their minds… as if… I never existed (in their lives)

have you ever experienced something like this!?

wow, can you believe its already been a decade since we last talked about Y2K!? Times flies.

dear reader,

I am so sorry for haven’t been able to write or check back as often as I would have like to, but don’t worry, I haven’t abandoned this blog, I have just been occupied with other things, namely school.

this morning I found a really nice email, since I have already shared it on my xanga, here’s the link –> A touching email I don’t like reposting same content on two blogs so you could read the story there.

Meanwhile, I will discuss my feelings here… alas the name: reflection.

I honestly almost cried when I read to the end, I believe the boy wrote the letter to his mother before his death, you could see from the clues in the beginning of the email as his mother says “My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could..”

But what he said is true, if we are Christians, even if our loved ones leave us, we would be able to reunite with them in heaven.

Although the story did not specify the boy’s age, I assume he is 6-8 years old. I just find it so touching how he, Jimmy, at such a young age could be so thoughtful of others and realizing that he could help other kids if his body was donated to the university to study.

just a nice well written story!! ^^

so yes, apologies to all who are faithful readers of this blog, my deep condolences towards those who make an effort every time to come to by blog and only to discover that I had yet again not updated again.

a few days ago, I was speaking to a friend concerning readers for blog entries… he asked where I update most of my blogs… and I told him, my xanga and wordpress…

he stared blankly at me and said “Xanga? no one uses that anymore… most probably people don’t update it nor would they read from it anymore”

my response: if those “people” (as you call them readers) do care (as a friend), shouldn’t they make the smallest effort to at least come and check especially when they are acknowledged that the author updates that “medium of blog” regardless of whether it is “not the latest blog server”? I just find it so ridiculous ><

For most of my life, I have viewed the future as bright, promising, basically optimistic views… however, within this past month, I have discovered it being more foggy and unclear.

questions I am concerned about that constantly linger in my mind:

-Where do I go to after I graduate?

-as I discovered more and more schools are offering graduate options for my major, I am confused whether I should go to grad school, if I should, which one? everything seems so far…
-it seems for most grad schools, they are more concentrated on the political and economy side, but I’m culture and communications…
-if not grad school, than work… where should I work? Hong Kong? Canada? USA?… just so confused
-if I do work… which sector? New Media or International Studies? (there seems to be a lot of New Media opportunities but I’m more interested in International Studies…)

so annoying >< and extremely frustrating ><

reflection to follow later~

just came across the definition of perfect: entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings: a perfect apple; the perfect crime.
notice the second example: the perfect crime, is it just me? I find this ironic HAHA

sorry, its probably stupid, but just felt like posting this
