There’s nothing like..
waking up to teach what I love, staying home to watch some ball when the rest of the family was out to lunch, scoring points at my first softball game of the season, watching my team make TANK plays, hopping into a hot shower and putting on my overalls after being rained on during the game, filling a starving stomach with korean food and beer, watching a movie that reaches to that softspot at the bottom of my heart..
You tell me how much grander life can be. :)
You are what you eat
Ate 3 weeks of junk during my stay in Hong Kong. No wonder I still feel lethargic now. I’ve been fueling my body with garbage. This calls for Operation: Intense Asskicking. I need a healthy but hardy diet and a whole lot of exercise. Great thing it’s the perfect season for softball and jogging!! Time to hop back on the fitness train..
Speaking of fitness, FOOTBALLLLLL!!!! Rooting for England (as always) and Germany..
In this day and age
we value themselves more than we really are worth. We blog and update twitter/facebook as if our lives are so important that it is, if not, should be other people’s business to know everything from which side of the bed we woke up on to how many times we picked our teeth throughout the day. Guess what? We’re not that important. What have you done throughout the day that deems you as important? Would the fact that you saw a squirrel this morning on your way to school make any difference? Would the colour code of your recent hair dye change someone’s life? Who are you kidding? Did you even do anything blog-worthy today? This week? This month?
This overinflated sense of self worth is a pandemic. BE ALARMED! Go out and live instead of updating your status. It’s NOT all about you.
Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. — Romans 12:3
P.S.: The “you” I am referring to is me. We’re all guilty of this.
You know it’s love when..
you are more eager to listen to what your other half has to say than to unload your own troubles
Thank you. <3
During the subway ride home last night..
I overheard some girls talk about methods of cheating on an exam at university. I’ve heard similar conversations when I was still in school. Back then, I didn’t think much of these ch(e)atters and dismissed them without a moment of consideration. While I never cheated during my university days in any shape or form, I also was not particularly bothered by the classmates who did either. Yes I thought it was wrong to cheat, but I did not feel strongly about such a stance. I don’t know what changed, but when I heard students talk about this topic again last night, I was completely vexed and couldn’t get the thought out of my head, hence this post. More than vexed, I was disgusted. I understand that university workload an be overwhelming, so people work on assignments together and copy one another’s work. Cheating on an exam is an entirely different matter. No matter how much of someone else’s assignment you copied, you have to prove that you have the knowledge expected of you by writing an exam without unpermitted aid. Not only is cheating a sabotage to one’s integrity, it also undermines all the hardworking students who study day and night to achieve a great score on an exam. I can’t believe I didn’t see the importance of this when I was still in school.
Shame on you, exam cheaters. You don’t deserve to be in university and I hope you FAIL.
