• It has been said that you’ll know you’ve made the right decision when you picked the harder choice yet your heart is at peace
• But it doesn’t necessarily entail that the harder choice is the right one. What’s right doesn’t always have to be what’s hard. Some of the right choices are as natural and easy and beautiful as being

The view during one of those times I really felt independent

Had to preserve the moment. Haha

Lola’s graduation message for me (written on the envelope with my “seed money” in it)

Thanks Lola! I’ll remember that! 

My grad flowers!

Only photo I have of them and it’s blurred. Hehe

Carnations are prettyyy :)

NIKKO GAVE ME A JEREMY LIN LIMITED EDITION SHIRT!!!

I’ve been looking and looking for Lin shirts here (and even in HK) but I couldn’t find any! And then Nikko gives one to me!!!! This is a limited edition shirt. Only 100 of them are available. This was actually one of the last two left! I am so happyyyyy!!! Thank you Nikky! You are the best!!!!

Wide eyes will always brighten the blue

So many people get to do so many grand things without really partaking in them. There is a whole new world when you open your eyes and dwell on the majesty of it all. 

Live in awe.

My first airplane ride ever!

To Hong Kong.

I love flying. I always knew I would. Sat by the window and looked out the whole trip (to and from HK). The shutter never went down. It was so many things at once; different forms of happiness. I plan to have as much airplane rides as I can.

The exhilaration, the splendor, the beauty, the grandeur.

So amused, in awe, inspired. :)

Luckily for you I don’t backstab like you do. :)

I am marking this day

Because on this day I realized that the years have made me wise and strong.

Jeremy Lin withdrawal.

So Jeremy Lin is out for six weeks. He’ll be undergoing knee surgery for a small “chronic meniscal tear”

6 WEEKS!!!

That is not even til after we get back from HK.

That is not even til after I march.

That is not even til after my Transcript of Records is released, and THAT, mind you, got me hitting the roof already.

But 6 weeks?!!!

I might as well just die now. 

(And then resurrect when there is something to live for again)

But get well soon, Jeremy Lin. :’( 

And Amar’e..

And Jeffries..

And Rubio..

Everybody in the NBA is hurt. SMH. 

WW__D?

What would ______ do?

When I’m in a particular situation that I’m not certain how I should respond to, I always use the WW__D approach. It goes like this; I think of that one person who, when it comes to this specific instance, handles things admirably. I use them as a guide. I let them affect my actions.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could surely like how you do things because they are modeled after the actions of people whom you regard highly? 

I want to be a composite of the people who inspire me. :)

It’s not that I feel

particularly sad. I just get a strange feeling once in a while. 

When I have the time to let my mind wander, it sometimes tiptoes into halfway closed doors and takes a look. 

It confuses me sometimes. But maybe that’s really what doors do.

Its been a long time. I’ve been busy reblogging Jeremy Lin things on my forallmyfangirlneeds.tumblr.com blog. Haha. I figured it’s time to have an entry here again. Soooo… I’m going with

Things I learned this week:

• Always bring your bag, no matter where you go. It’s more bearable to be carrying unnecessary things than to have left something and be constantly worrying about it.
• Go for it. Never miss out on an opportunity to make something happen and live fully. No matter how trivial it is, if it will make for a fantastic moment, do it. 
• Always look your best. Always. Even on those days when you just plan to sweat all day doing fieldwork. You never know what might come up. You never know whom you might see. You never know when you might be forced to be in front of the camera. 
• As scientists, we should be receptive to AS MUCH information as possible. 
• If you don’t know, say “I don’t know”. Do not make things up. Incorrect data is oftentimes even worse than no datum. 

That is all I can think about for now. I am so sleeepppyyy. Good night. 

For all my fangirl needs

Because when I fangirl, I fangirl hard.

That’s where I go crazy reblogging things that make me absolutely gaga. Current obsession is Jeremy Lin. 

Because I really have to have my say

If he is important enough to be guarded THAT much, then by corollary, he IS GOOD. he IS A THREAT. Like, duhhhhhhh.

Some people have an innate tendency to hate on the craze. I don’t know if it’s jealousy, insecurity, or what have they. Hahahaha to that.

Yes, it may be too early to say it’s greatness, but it’s amazing enough to say it’s extraordinary.
