I feel like sharing...

.


Depending on the situation I can develop patience like nobody’s business! If I have something that needs to be done…I could convince myself that I could work through whatever obstacles that comes my way…and almost always get whatever I need done. I could stop the frustration that begins to build and become completely clam and focused. This unfortunately only happens once in a while…but when it does it is such a great feeling!


I have the ability to be calm when others are not. When an environment becomes hectic I could actually stop reacting to that and react in a way that is opposite of that environment.


I love paper items! I am obsessed actually! I love journals, scrapbooks, stationeries, letters, notebooks…everything and anything that oozes creativity. I mean sure someone could have a notebook and not do anything about it. But a blank notebook---is a template to make it into whatever you want. I have so many stationeries in boxes that I think I could start a store myself. I am trying to use all of my old papers so I could start buying new ones.


Lately, I like to be around people and not talk so much. I just don’t want to make small talks if I don’t have to. I rather be more observant and take in the surrounding. Before however I was so involved in making everyone comfortable and I thought small talks eases the surrounding but now “no, thanks.” I don’t want to try so hard at having conversations. It should come naturally. This is not being stuck-up.


If I ever had a full weekend off without any plans…this hasn’t happened in the past 2+ years. If I come to a position where I have consecutive weekends off…consecutive…I am going to watch movies all weekend. Stay in bed all weekend and watch movies!

moth

My sister recently started a job in a lab where she and her coworkers work with a lot of moths. Her company is responsible for producing the best moth eggs and selling them around the country. Who knew…huh?!? Every night however she has been having these terrible nightmares! She dreams that her bed, face, her entire body is surrounded by moths…as she describes “suffocating me.” She jumps out of bed every night as she throws her comforter on the floor. She was telling her coworkers about her nightmares other day while they laughed and sympathized with her situation.


One of her coworker mentioned that her nightmares could be worse! He told her that their lab used to employee a woman who also had nightmares. Not only did she dream that moths were all over her but they had her in a cage and were doing the experiments on her that she was doing to them everyday. *Used to employee her* every important!


Yikes!?


I have no idea how that dream could be like? But I’ll be completely scared.

soccer!

Loved watching the world cup soccer game today!
I didn’t even know about the world cup until couple of people mentioned it in class and at work!
Now I am hooked!
The game today was between Argentina and Mexico.
And Argentina won!
It was fantastic to watch!
Each team scored one point the first ten minutes of the game and after a long time Argentina scored in overtime!
Yea!
I want to participate in more sports and also go watch teams play!

I went to the post office today because I needed to sent a package. With this package I wanted to put stamps on it instead of just a ticket stating what the price will be. The price of the package turned out to be $5.15 so I bought a few sheets of 37 cents stamps and stepped to a counter to place 15 or so stamps on my package. I was in my own little world figuring out the best way to arrange all these stamps on my package when someone took hold of my shoulders. Not only hold my shoulders but shook me really hard. The few seconds this lasted I thought "Wow, whoever that is must be suprised to see me." I turned around and saw a face I never saw before. Then I thouhgt maybe I know this man so I said this "ohhhhh...HI there! (giving the impression that I knew him.....when I completely didn't) Well he looked indian so I thought maybe I may have met him before. I am really bad with remembering faces anyways. This man looked at me and said "Ohh I thought you were my niece" at that time I finally figured out that I had no idea who this man was so I said "ohhh...it's okay." As I went back in line I couldn't look at this man in the face because I was still in a little shock. He kept apologizing and I said that was okay. "He kept saying your behind looks just like my niece" ..okay...



Then I saw someone from high school. It was intersting meet because I had no idea what her name was and she didn't remember mine either. At first I thought her name was destiny but her name was actually Gifted. How could I forget a name like that? It was strange event though. I mean in high school it seemed that the school was the whole world yet after four years I can't even remember a person I went to school with for YEARS. When she asked for my name I said it the way it should be pronounced with utmost confidence..it seemed to me that she didn't even recognize my name. My name has been pronounced so many different ways and I never corrected it until only a few years ago. Now I don't really give a chance for people to pronounce my name however way it suits them. No excuses anymore! I learned the English language to the best of my ability atleast you could say my name to the best of your ability.



Then I saw a teacher from high school...I never took a high school class with her..so I didn't say anything.



In conclusion, if you want to catch up on your old life...maybe consider going to the post office. Its a great hangout...let's get the party started at the post office?!?!


I can't relax at all. I think its a Sri Lankan thing. I was talking to another Sri Lankan and he mentioned the same thing...how his mom can't even sit down for one minute without finding something to do. I don't blame Sri Lanka...but maybe my parents.

I started a new journal on my birthday. I have tons of little notes, papers, greeting cards, pictures...that are all over my room (tucked between books, under my bed, in shoe boxes) so I got a book to just tape everything in it. Aside from these little collections so far the theme I been writing has been "I want (-----) in life." After filling pages of this book already...I started to wonder if this is healthy. I mean should I be greatful for what I have than always wanting something more?
But then I decided to ignore this thought...because I don't think there is anything wrong with putting down ideas, wishes, and working on them. I am greatful for all I have. But there is more to see, do, be in this life and I want it.

Nacho Libre ---Funny movie! I went to the 10 A.M. show which was really nice! I'll do that again. There were only few people in the theater and had the full afternoon to do other stuff.

My Birthday...!!!

Permanence. Perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstaclies, discouragemnets, and impossibilities: it is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
-Thomas Carlyle
The keen spirit seizes the prompt occasion makes the thought start into instant action, and at once plans and performs, resolves and executes.

Long day...I had classes all morning.
Both of my parents were home so for my birthday they made crab curry...which was SO GOOD!
That was my request.
Walked around the neighborhood for one hour...so relaxing...
Had ice cream cake..I think I might appreciate it more tomorrow.
I was so happy that my professor announced that we were only having a hour of lecture....and not two


Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.
-abraham Lincoln
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk--and to act.
-Maxwell Maltz

I got this beautiful necklace recently. I wanted something that representated New York...I kinda regretted that I didn't get something like this in New York...but I did get few other pieces in Little Italy from this 80 year old lady one late night.


It was so nice to come home last night...and not have to set the alarm for this morning. I reached for my cell phone to set the alarm...then I thought "WHY! I really don't need to..."

So that's what I did...slept half of the day.

WINDFALL

I have a strong hatred for the show that's going be premiering soon….WINDFALL! Haven't watched one episode yet but I just can't stand the promotion for that show. …20 friends…364 millions dollars…..the deceptions, the passion, bluh bluh bluh!! Damn show, Damn NBC, Damn Power ball!!

(Annoying dude #1) "…I am going to go buy a football team…can I pick up something for you…?". (yes…dude..you could do something for me…go to hell!!!).

(Annoying dude #2 )"…if your wildest dream came true…will I be in it?" (NO!...and "ohh yea…please go away")

(Annoying woman #1) "life isn't fair…thank god…..(something like this)… (I hate her)" Just the whole show gets on my nerve.

I am so tired.
I am putting in too many hours this summer at work.
Feel so tired (I said that already…)
I need a vacation!


I watched The Break-up a few days ago and it was good.
All I was thinking was “Jennifer Aniston better not disappoint me again” and she didn’t.
It was an enjoyable night at the movies.


What’s up with Al Gore? Every time I see that guy on CNN he looks like an actor playing the role of a politician. I don’t know!
