Just Listen

"Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it."

─ Sarah Dessen, Just Listen


Not too long ago, I finished reading Just Listen. And when I came across this quote, I immediately thought back to one of my older entries here on blogger. About how every song carries a memory, and just by listening to the song, it brings back memories which even you thought you forgot about.
This quote summed up my whole blog entry.

A new beginning, 2011

I've gotta say, 2010 was definitely a memorable and important year for me. There were just too many amazing moments and unforgettable memories. Not to mention, it's also my graduation year ! Throughout the year, I've learned a LOT about life, my friends, my family, and even myself. I can say for a fact that it's one of my most life changing years for sure. I've gone through heartbreaks, lost and made new friends, and I guess you could say I lost family. Well, at least enough for my lifestyle at home to change dramatically. Throughout the year, I have regretted so many things and use to always wish I could go back in time to fix things. However, now I realize that I don't regret a thing. It has made me who I am, and I'm glad I was able to experience everything I went through. Because we all learn from our mistakes, and since I'm young, I'll do crazy things, act stupid from time to time, and meet the wrong people. And I'm fine with that. I also use to say that I regret not going to school in the fall, but I'm really glad I didn't. It was a good break. Although I'll be going back to school this week, I'll still try to fit some time for myself and my friends. However, I'll be studying hard for school as I've missed out enough already.

It's 2011 now, and the perfect time to put things in the past and start anew. I have a feeling a lot of things will be different than last year. University, home, friends. I mean, 2011 is the year I turn 19 right? :) haha that's gotta be something. Hopefully it will all be a good change.

I'm excited for the new year and the upcoming adventures it will bring ! :)
GOODBYE 2010, AND HEEELLLOOO 2011 ! :D

Because I don't care what the hell I'm doing, as long as I'm with those I love and care about.

Welcome home, baby !

Absolutelyy looooove my new Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i ! ♥ And of coursee, abbsoolutelyy LOVE my dad for getting me this wonderful beauty, or at least most of it, for Christmas ! As you must know, I've been wanting one of these for the loongest time. For several months now I've been keeping track of the T2i, checking all different stores and sites online to keep track of prices and check for sales. Now finally, with the Christmas season and countless price drops & sales in december, I managed to get the T2i body for $649.99 :D Unfortunately, I don't have any lens yet so I can't use it at the moment. But I will be getting one later in january :)

It's not a goodbye to my sony digital camera though! I'll still be bringing it everywhere I go, while saving the t2i for occasions and pretty places ! :D

I had a dream today ..

that I was still at windermere. The bell rung and I was getting my books from my locker. Then EVERYTHING in my locker falls out ALL OVER the floor and I skip class just to clean it up. ...

So.. I had a loong looong dream about cleaning my locker. I remember picking up almost everything and anything from the floor into my locker. I've never felt so bored in my life. Why did I dream about this? >:[ I actually woke up tired because it felt so real.

I love my tablet :)

 

I started this drawing a long time ago, but I finally decided to finish it up.

THANKS A BUNCH TO ELTON FOR THE TABLET ! :D It works like magic, no joke ! :)

Finally.. haircut !

 

Haircut with joce today. Yay for layers ! :) Lady cut my bangs TOO short though but you can't see it well here. It's okay, it'll grow :D

I'd like to rant, please

I'm so dead TIRED of it all! I'm sick of it. I don't know how to deal with it anymore. I'm so jealous of those who can actually enjoy their family dinners and gatherings. And I'm jealous of those who have such close bonds with their parents. It's weird. I hate being treated like a child, yet sometimes all I want to do is be a child again and crawl under my parent's blankets and sleep under their care. And then there are others around me who show concern, but I can't feel anything but pity from them. Your pity is a burden. Of course I love them, but honestly.. I would rather have someone quietly listening beside me than have someone constantly digging me out for answers. And I know all the lectures show that they care, but it's like I'm hearing the right lectures at the wrong time. Does that make sense? The lectures which include "Study hard. Don't do drugs." It's just not what I need right now. I've heard it a thousand times from a thousand people. I don't think hearing the same lecture for a thousand and oneth time is going to do me any good.

This somewhat got off topic from what I wanted to rant about. But I have no clue how to explain it. I'm just REALLY frustrated right now and wanted to throw some things off my mind. For now, all I can say is that I hate lying. I hate being asked to lie even more.
