Scars

Just like how some fade over the years, some stay put in place no matter what we do to try and erase them. 

And while some are not seen on a daily basis, some are so painstakingly visible you wish for blindness.

Some scars don't hurt after a while, but some remain just as painful as on the very day you got them.

Little ones skim the surface of our lives, many scars go far enough to make us remember, a rare few leave a gaping crater. 

These scars - big or small, deep or superficial - they are all there for a reason. 

Whether or not they are there to remind us of past mistakes or choices wrongly made, 

of events we never saw coming or of circumstances over which we had no control..

..Scars are there to remind us that the past is real,

and also...they ARE supposed to heal. 

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." 

- Galatians 5:1 -

for what it's worth

This is for you, best friend.

"You can hope, you can rise, you can stand

He's still got the whole world 

The whole world in His hands.

And the arms that hold the universe

Are holding you tonight

You can rest inside
It's gonna be alright.

And the voice that calmed the raging sea

Is calling you His child

So be still and know He's in control

He will never let you go."

- Arms that hold the universe, 33 Miles -

Don't you love how Shrek and Donkey just sit and talk under the moonlight

Without a care in the world? :)

actually

3. i'm also not one to tell you if you've hurt my feelings.

this is terrible, i don't think i'm in the right state of mind at the moment.

two things

1. i'm not one for making people choose between the things they love, unless it was absolutely 100% for their own benefit, but even then i'm not one to force something upon anybody.

2. things never work out the way they do in your head, do they?

Newfound love

As much as I hate to admit it, I am hooked. Hooked, with a capital H. Vampire Diaries has become my latest obsession. I really did not expect much from the show at the very start. I mean, think typical Twilight Vampire love story stretched over a few series? Lameee. The only reason I started watching it in the first place was because Hannah and I were bored out of our minds in Hobart while on placement - but I must say that the show is becoming more and more interesting with every passing episode. Nothing at all like Twilight! :)

Couple of reasons why I love the show:
...Soundtracks by Lifehouse. I am the sort to pay attention to the music that TV shows play in the background.. (That's why I love One Tree Hill, awesome soundtracks!) So, hearing 'It Is What It Is', one of my favourite songs by Lifehouse (you guessed it, one of my favourite bands!) scores a thumbs up from me!

....Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore - Forget his evil gut, forget his insatiable appetite for causing trouble, forget his 'diabolical master plans'. Damon Salvatore - so amazingly good-looking that every time he smiles/smirks I forget he's supposed to be the bad guy.

So yeah, something for me to do (besides studying) while my parents and the boyfriend are away.  Plan for study break: Work, Study, VD/OTH, Study. Repeat cycle. :) Enjoying the freedom of having the house to ourselves (meaning me and sibs). In fact, had the girls over last night and today for a sleepover, drinks, games and Anzac cookie baking *nyumnyum*. My parents will be pleased to know that the house isn't trashed, everything's still spick-and-span, laundry's all done, and we've been eating balanced meals i.e. greens in every meal.

And as much as I am glad my darling is enjoying Korea, I can't wait till he gets back! Not long to go! :) But for now...Vampire Diaries, here I come. :)

Word Association

Barrier. 

Choosing sides.

Awkwardness. 

Playing nice for the sake of it.

Surface judgment.

Ignorance.

What's with the attitude?

Growing up.

One or the other.

My gums really, really hurt. So does my head. No way am I getting any work done tonight. Goodnight.

p.s. if you happened to catch a glimpse of a previous post which seems to have disappeared, i'm here to tell you that it was here - it's not a fickle of your imagination - i just took it down the next day because i woke up the next morning and felt silly for writing it in the first place. 

Wordpress

looks kinda cool.

I'm quite tempted to switch over, just for the sake of it. Been with Blogger for yonks.

And these spammers and blog-walkers that are leaving their comments around (sometimes in foreign languages) are starting to bug me.

So apparently Wordpress has the best spam tracking and killing system, which sounds really promising. :)

And I can blog with my Windows phone too! (If I can't Whatsapp, at least I can blog with it)

I'm still reading up on Wordpress and the features they offer, hopefully it will be a nice bout of fresh air if and when I decide to switch over!
