Very much taken

1) Single, Taken, or Flirting?
:: Very much taken. =D

2) Are you happy with where you are?
:: Yes, could not ask for more.

3) When you meet the right person, do
you fall fast?
:: I think I did fall fast and pretty damn hard. I ain't complaining though.

4) Have you ever had your heart
broken?
:: Yes, because people can disappoint you but if you don't take risks you will never know what you missed.

5) Do you believe that there are
certain circumstances where cheating
is ok?
:: No, there is never a good reason to cheat, everything that you can think of is an excuse, not a reason.

6) Would you ever take someone back if
they cheated on you?
:: I don't need to worry about this question, but no. And it should work both ways.

7) Have you talked about marriage with
another person?
:: Yes, I don't have commitment issues anymore. Aha!

8) Do you want children?
:: I really do.

9) How many?
:: Football team or better yet a whole farmhouse. I ain't no gumball machine but I do know I sound like one.

10) Would you consider adoption?
:: Yes, why not.

13) Do you want someone you can't

:: No, but I probably did when I was 11 and I saw the Moffatts playing on tv. You remember that too, don't ya. Ahh, puberty sucks.

14) Do you believe love at first sight

15) Do you believe in celebrating
anniversaries?
:: Yes I do because love should be celebrated.

17) If you could get married anywhere,
money's not an object, where would it
be?
:: Ah I would want to be married right here because everyone I love lives here, but if I could fly all of them to Bali at the beachside that would be nice too.

18) Do you have feelings for someone
right now?
:: Yes, very much so.

19) Have you ever wished you could
have someone but you couldn't?

20) Have you ever broken a heart?
:: Unfortunately yes, and apparently I also cast spells (lol, Payal!! Remember?)

21) Would you ever fight somebody over
your boyfriend/girlfriend?
:: Even though I don't believe in violence, love is worth fighting for no? If there is injustice, I will find you and hunt you down.

:: I'd say wish you all the best.

Stick a fork in me, I'm done

So today, was quite a day.

I woke up at 9am and realized I had a presentation in an hour (but I'm superman and I always manage to reach on time). Punchline is, we didn't get to our turn and I am running out of formal wear for these occasions. I wore white today and we all know that the sun was merciless today. Picture that.

Once back home away from the chaos of college, I entered a brand new hurricane; one that I had not experienced in awhile. I opened the door of my home to be greeted by four 12-year-old boys. My ears are still ringing (because this is what silence sounds like). I then proceeded to spend an entire afternoon with the little people. My brother appointed me director (camera holder) to film a movie for history class. I was Hitler of the day; I was a total tyrant and I used threats excessively. It worked though. What they say is true; power can be scary. Boo.

The evening was spent hiding in my room from the remaining noise.

But the best news is still someone being in the same country as me.
Can you say WHEEEEE?

Somebody dare me to stop smiling.

God Only Knows

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

This is dedicated to you. My love.

Fiercely

Imagine the irony when...

You're thinking about a presentation but then a few hours later you realize that these things are trivial when it comes to your health, your relationships, your priorites...your passion.

We spend so much of time worrying about stupid things, about tiny chores that don't even matter in the long run and we forget all the pretty things right in front of us. Your other half, your best friends, your parents, your dog,and so on.

At the end of a long day, you come home and you yell at the people who ask you how your day was, or you sulk away in a corner because things didn't go your way.

Ah yes, cliche my little speech is, and yes, you have heard it before. But please, don't wait for the last minute to tell everyone you love them or you'll be kicking yourself later. Don't just tell them. Show them. Give out hugs, they're FREE! Give all your kisses away, don't be stingy. Don't sulk too long, that person could get tired of waiting. Communicate!! Nobody can READ your mind. Spend your money. Shut up and do it. Don't tell me you're saving up for a flimsy dress that gives you actual cleavage. That's bullshit, I don't want to hear that. When are you going to wear the damn dress? Prom? That's a million years away. Screw that, buy an ice-cream cone and eat that instead! Whatever rocks your boat.
Accept the things you can't change. Please. Just do that. Remind me to do the same when I forget.

My love for you is nothing to brag about but I want you to know that I do.
I love you fiercely and deeply, don't forget that.

I will take care of myself because I ask the same from you.
Find that one thing that makes you happy, that's all it takes.
I am luckier, I found someone that makes me full of glee.

It Can Burn

Aloha.

It is going to rain soon and my selfish bed calls to me again. The moron won't leave me alone. Excuse the swearing, I'm not so chirpy today. I just got rejected twice in the span of three days. I ain't talking about people, I'm talking about the mean, big, ugly thing called UNI. Universities, college, money-sucking institutes, yes that's the one. Safe to say I am not leaving in July, so back-up plan has gone down the drain.

If I may start at the beginning, my original plan was to apply for Curtin, Perth for the February 2008 intake, but while in the midst of applying, I thought I could send in an application for Murdoch, Perth as well for the July 2007 intake. In one day, my world tipped over a bit, because I was full of What If's? What if I actually get accepted into Murdoch? July. That's like, less than two months (at that time). In fact, I was reassured, even, that I would not have a problem getting in even though not all of my subjects met the grade requirements. However, it turned out to be exactly that. My grades were the problem. I didn't think I'd be very affected, but it's a bit scary to be turned down. The brain get's a little schizophrenic and you start to wonder if anybody will take you in (even though you're paying them a trillion dollars for one measly degree that doesn't even guarantee you one measly job because apparently now they look for "experience" too).

Excuse the bitterness, but it's not very hard to be pessimistic about the whole college thing. There are no guarantees, people, we're all just taking a risk here. But don't worry, we're all in this together (if that doesn't make you feel any better, I apologize if I depressed you to no end and you burst out crying while you think about the uncertain future that lies ahead of you).

BUT, having said all that, we should all just be inifinitely grateful that we even have the opportunity to get a tertiary education. Let's take a moment shall we?

Moving on to the generality that is life, I am done with my Music Exams and it feels really weird not to be worrying about thrills and semiquavers. After it was over,I couldn't believe it actually was completely over. I felt like I had spent a few years trying to perfect my Bach and Scarlatti, instead of just a couple of rushed, panicked months of practicing. However (there's always one in my stories), Miss Ellen has agreed to let me continue with her and I shall be learning more classical music( all the pretty little things I just love- Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel etc) under her wing until I leave.

Also, Mom's party was just perfect despite the awful, last-minute planning that went on. She had absolutely no friggin' idea, and that is why it was just lovely. I have a video and the expression is absolutely priceless. Plus, everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and I'm afraid Mom's 40th is going to be the talk of the town for awhile. This makes me very uncomfortable. Sindhi limelights are the worst. Oh well.

A piece of advice for anyone feeling stale with life. Do something new or do something you haven't done in a long time. Here are a few suggestions. Trust me on this, it makes you see things in a different light and that is always nice, no?

1. If you drive everywhere, try not driving for a whole day (or, if not possible; try a couple of hours) and commute using public transport or your own two feet. Yes, walk my dearies, it is fun, no matter what kind of lungs you have. Makes you feel younger, or if not, then much lighter.

2. If you have not watched a movie in a long time, or read a book (or have not had entertainment, basically) do just that. If possible, pick something that you have not seen or read before. Some things can inspire.

3. Try cooking. Anything. Like Payal said, it can feel like an accomplishment (I would not friggin' know I suppose).

4. Walk around a mall and people watch OR sit in Starbucks and people watch. It makes you wonder.

5. Spend a significant amount of time singing your favourite songs. Makes you fly. Like really really high.

6. Clean your room. Seriously. Throw all the junk you hoard, and I mean ALL. Makes you fly too.

7. When eating out, pick someplace new or someplace that you have always wanted to try but just couldn't because you just have to eat at McDonald's or Burger King again. This one really works too.

8. For one whole day, try not to plan ahead. I know some of you really can't do this, but just make an attempt. Just see what happens.

9. Go to Toys R Us and buy the small bottle of bubbles they have and blow away. Bubbles are so silly but so pretty, no? Makes you feel young (boy, do we need that).

10. If you have not dressed up in awhile, or have not worn something that you know makes you look good, do it. Makes you feel like Austin Powers. Or er...whoever.

You have probably seen almost all, or all of the above in a magazine or even tried it out yourself, but maybe you haven't tried it because I can see you look at me so full of skepticism. But do it. Even if you already have.

Much love to everyone.

On Being Personal

Yellow.

June is here and I know I've probably said this a million times, but boy did time fly faster than I thought it would. Two things my little ones:

1. Short post alert as I don't want to get up caught up in writing; I have to keep practicing for my PIANO EXAMINATION on the 6th of June, Wednesday.
a. Friday is the big day- Dad has chosen to throw a surprise party for Mom's 40th and I don't think she has a clue. Don't we love surprises! (I do, I do! =D)
b. This semester is lovely for one reason only- I don't have to take any psych subjects.
c. I want to write more (I always put this one down).
d. I have so much to say (Don't we all?).

2. I realize that I barely talk about how much I appreciate my family here. If anything, there have been more complaints than anything positive. I just want to say that I love them to bits and I am absolutely dreading leaving them for a new life. I want and need them to know that. I love you Mom, I love you Dad, I love you bro. Much love to the rest of the family too.
a. I believe there is one reason I have been afraid/shy to talk about family. I shy away from being too personal sometimes but reading previous posts have made me realize that I have already looked past that and if I can be personal about my love for everyone else, I can do the same with my family.
b. I think I'm also afraid that I would cry my eyes out if I started to talk about how grateful I am to have parents like mine.

See, lump in throat already.
Sob.

On a lighter note then shall we? I shall see you soon.
Promise.
