Life as an Anecdote


….my cynical mind

I truly want to believe that everyone has good intentions and humans are incapable of indecencies but I can’t help being cynical. I think that’s why I turned towards religion -I just want to believe so desperately that people are inherently good… but, there’s so much crap going on in this world. I think how I respond to people sometimes reflect how cynical I am. I wish I could offer more positive advice.

No more Facebook, hello Tumblr!

I’m on facebook-hiatus! Hopefully this is going to last. I just had to eliminate the biggest distraction when I’m on the computer and I feel a little liberated. After going to the facebook page, I realize that I don’t have a profile anymore and this does feel a little disconnecting to the virtual world but so what? Now I spend that time trying to read the news or working on my assignments. The idea of giving users the option of adopting an @facebook.com email address is a little daunting too. Maybe we’re giving too much of ourselves away to Facebook.

If Your Kids Are Awake, They’re Probably Online

Ah shit. This is a news article I found on nytimes.com and it’s so true. I feel like I spend every making moment attached to an electronic device (namely a computer..). Like today, the moment I had free time I headed straight into the direction of any facilities with computers when I could spend that time reading. I ought to carry around a book.

Black Nailpolish

You need so much patience when you’re painting your nails or when you’re getting a manicure/pedicure. For the first time before CJA Banquet, Jinah Unnie took me to a salon to get my nails done. The french nails I got were pretty but I started picking and biting my nails (habits never go away). I swear I’m orally-fixated. That was a waste. No more manicure dates for me since I’m taking my good old violin with me to the USA. I guess 10 years of violin playing is not going to be wasted (which reminds me.. I should really change those strings..)

Just painted my nails black and  I managed to do it horribly. What a waste of Chanel nail polish. The moment I apply nail polish to my nails I start hammering away at the keyboard. Now they’re partially ruined. I’m sad now. I need to take better care of my belongings (including body parts). My nails are so fitting with my outfit right now! I’m in looove. I love the dress I purchased (the top..not so much since my arms look HUGE). I just need to lose a little fat there..and there.. and uh there too.

Blogging at 5am in the morning is becoming a routine. Bad.
Who cares, it’s still the holidays and I manage to wake up to my dates with my friends, right? :) The chocolate taiwanese ice flakes I had with Devanne was made of WIN. It was dericious. Anyways, gotta stop talking like Ruis (there I go again). Haha. I think I’m in a good mood. Don’t want to sleep. I hope this feeling doesn’t go away cause it certainly doesn’t come very often when I’m alone. I wish I could feel this confident all the time.

미안해요..

엄마, 아빠 너무 죄송해요. 자랑스러운 큰딸이되지 못해서 맨날 미안합니다.
그토록 열심히 일하셔가지고 좋은 학교에 보내주시는데 기대하시는만큼 해드리지 못해서 너무 죄송해요.. 꿈이 없는 제 자신이 너무 실망스러워요… 계속 작아지는 제가.. 자심감이 없는 제가 너무 부끄러워요. 자랑스러운 딸이 되고싶은데….

죄송해요.. 그런 딸이 못되드려서…
그래도 제 옆에 건강히 계시는 엄마 아빠.. 너무 감사하고 사랑해요

이제 그만 울고 열심히 살께요. 희망을 가지고 살께요.
감사합니다.

What did I do in 2009…?

We have now stepped into the first decade of the first millennium… but what have I done in the past year…? I have absolutely no idea. The past year was a blur. There was nothing significant about it. I just seemed to fail at everything (GPA inclusive).
The year 2009 did not end graciously for me. I ended up puffy-eyed and swollen yet again. When my parents questioned me about the inevitable I couldn’t speak up. Obviously they deserved to know how lost I felt but I didn’t want to admit my failures.

I don’t feel like blogging.. I’ll continue later.
I wish they left the bottle of whiskey :(

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi! Yes, I moved on from Xanga finally. I used to blog privately but I have decided it’s time to take it somewhere else. I’m not a very confident writer, neither am I a great one, and thus I named my blog ‘The incompetent writer’. It’d be nice for the few of you who do follow my blog to cheer me on as I embark on a mission (I’m being way too dramatic) to become a better writer. Anyways, Merry Christmas to you all and have fun counting down to the first decade of this millennium!
