Hello. You know what? There are songs that make us want to dance. Songs that make us want to sing along. But the best songs are the ones that bring you back to the moment you first heard them. And once again, break your heart. Did a song pop up in your mind? Play it on repeat and repeat those memories you think of when hearing that song... bring back the past, for a while.
I'm feeling rather sad. Parents got super super agro in the afternoon while i was doing homework because i wasn't helping them. I gave up on arguing and defending myself so i just did whatever they told me to without objection. Then they started scolding me for always looking sad and miserable when i was supposed to be happy and willing to help. What the hell do they expect from me? Nothing i do is good enough, and even if it was good enough, they'd find something else to make me feel bad about.
I don't like bitching about my parents but i have no where else to let it out. Friends listen, but really, do they care? Who could be bothered listening to someone talk for ages about something that doesn't even concern them and something they can't relate to?
I'm writing my english short story now but i really don't want to stick to my original plan after hearing other people's stories in class. The topic is: The Empty Cup. What am i supposed to write about huh? How life is a cup and life is empty? Talk about something depressing? I'm so sick of it! I can't write happy stories though.. i don't think i can remember the last time i ever did that. Happy stories are just.. too happy that they're almost like fairytales. Unrealistic, fake.
I've decided that since i've been complaining so much lately, i'm going to make lists. Yes, lists of things i like, dislike etc. I remember reading a book about someone who always made lists.. it was a good book. So here's a list of simple things in life that make me happy :)
when someone reminds me of a funny memory that hasn't crossed my mind for ages
when smiling and laughing becomes contagious
seeing little kids in the playground playing tips, oblivious to all the horrors of the world
receiving letters
genuine compliments
when people say "thank you" to a compliment instead of putting themselves down to make them look good (if that makes sense)
couples with matching t-shirts
comfortable silences
a breeze
the feeling of relief after a scary thought
inside jokes
singing happy birthday really loudly and not caring what other people think of you
a good dream
when people tell me i'm funny (thanks cathy, for the facebook post. made my day, and many days after that)
This list will be updated frequently due to my fail memory which is as reliable as my electric blanket (it only works properly at times, usually when i don't need it ==). Okay to extend this already long post, i'm going to post a few pictures of the card and letter Jovian sent me!! NOTE: he sent all his friends a letter..
the super delayed birthday card HAHA
don't ask me how that managed to fit inside a normal envelope..
can someone please tell me what that says?
i think it's his name but it looks pretty complicated O_O
my chinese skills are failing me
HAAHAH there was a 2 page letter that came with the card (one of the pages was just filled with "BAHAHAHA", what a waste of paper, tsk) Anyway, receiving a letter made me very happy because the last time i got one was like, 2 years ago from Rena, asking me to train her character on Maplestory :) Ahhh the good times...
It's past 11. I must sleep. Working for parents tomorrow night again until 10pm. At least i get rewarded with something good this time. Unlimited shopping at the exhibition place! Not that i'd buy anything anyway =.=
Goodnight, and sorry for everything. Yes you. And you. And you.
