Spring!

So spring has come around now.
All I get are images of birds singing, children playing, flowers blooming etc.
(cliched blah blah)
Bye bye Winter. As much as I like you, I want sunshine and warmth.
Cos when it sunny and warm I feel a lot happier.
Although, it really doesn't help us dancers. ITS FREAKIN HOT IN SUMMER!
Regardless, lying in the sun and watching the clouds is fun.
And even better when you have someone to lie next to.
Admittedly I don't have someone like that but it doesn't matter.
It all takes time.

Anyway, back to Spring.
Actually, just the seasons in general.

Seasons of Love - Rent

Remember the love
(Oh you got to, got to)
Remember the love
(Remember the love)
Seasons of love
(Measure measure you life in love)
Seasons of love
Seasons of love

Seasons come and go.
And there's no stopping that.
But despite the passing of time, its always important to never forget who you are.
Nowadays, your identity is so important to you.
It separates those fake bitches and the people who are true to themselves.
Be true to yourself. Its quite possibly, the best thing you can ever do.
Stand up for what you believe in. Don't let other people sway you.
Because only you know what you truly believe.
However, in saying that, don't be stubborn too.
Its always good to take other people's point into consideration.
It can really open your eyes to something better.
Be the best person that you can be.
And people will accept you for that.
If they don't, that's ok too. Don't try to change yourself to belong.
Anyway, the point is, as time passes, people change.
Just don't forget who you are.

What's More Important?

Sometimes we lose sight of what is really important in our lives.
At times like these I like to take a step back and really think about it.
So, recently my friend was in a car accident.
He totally destroyed his car and lost quite a few things in the process.
Nonetheless, he is doing fine, so not to worry.
But it really makes you wonder, what can you afford to lose?
Well, I could leave behind my material possessions in an instant.
Why? Because my life is more important.
But what makes your life fulfilling?
For me its my family and friends.

So, on to today's philosophy lesson.

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students agreed unanimously.

The professor then picked up a can of beer and poured it into the jar. The beer filled up the remaining space in the jar. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students again agreed that it was.

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family and friends - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter - like your job and your studies.

The sand is everything else. The small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life.If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Hang out with your friends. Spend time with your family. There will always be time to for work and study.Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

"What about the beer?", one student asked. At this, the professor laughed. "The beer just goes to show that no matter how full your life is, everyone can do with a drink or two".

Hopefully, everyone can learn from this.
Treasure what you have in your life.
Your friends and family will always be there for you.
And there is always time for the smaller things (like the HSC).
(I also can't disagree with a drink or two every now and then xP)

Go out and enjoy your life.
Because under all the sand and pebbles, are the rocks.
The ones that will always be there, that don't leave your side.

Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO

Party rock is in the house tonight
Everybody just have a good time
And we gonna make you lose your mind
Everybody just have a good time

(As opposed to the Study Hard Anthem)

In the end just go out and get a blast out of life.
Cos that's what life is for, living.
Aim high, cos you never know where it will take you.
(This one's aimed at you, HSC students)



Also, shout out to Savvy, was good seeing you <3

People Who Care

Lately, things have been really quite down.
I've been falling, further and further into a pit of misery and despair.

Abandoned - Jay Park

(Abandoned)
Where did you go-oh-oh-oh
Where did you go-oh-oh-oh
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go-oh-oh-oh
...
Why did you abandon me?

But I think I've finally reached the bottom.
Because finally things are starting to look up.
Maybe its a bit cliched for me to say I can see light, but i really can.
I can finally see the top of this hole I've been digging/ falling into.

Because, I've finally found People Who Care
I used to think I had nothing but dance.
But, dance is about more than just the movement, its the environment too.
Dance has really opened up my life and because of it I've met incredible people.

1. I think you're most important here. You're so much like me. Despite the ENORMOUS hypocrites we both may be, we still look out for each other. I hope things look up for you, remember the whole crew is there for you, not just me.

2. Don't take offense to this okay? You're childish, but grown up at the same time. I call you kiddo, but really you are like a little sister to me. To be honest, I don't think i could stay mad or cold around you. You smile too much (that's a good thing).

3. You probably won't read this, but whatever. I'm glad we met, even if it was just once. And I'm glad I had the courage to talk to you afterwards as well. And now, we're good friends. "You and I clicked like flap jacks", "Yeah, we're cool like that" LOL

4. Ok, so everyone thinks we're a ship. Personally I don't care. We know the truth and let them think what they want. The train rides home have been fun, despite the time you lost/forgot your phone HAHA. I'm glad we can talk and I know you don't reveal much about yourself, but I'm here for you. Even if you try not to show it, I can tell there's something bothering you. Just so you know, you can come to me if you want to talk.

5. You're definitely not going to read this but it doesn't matter. I just want you to know that you should be happy. And just because you're older doesn't mean you can't be with someone younger. It's ok, you still look young (:

6. It's been over a year since I've met you now. And when I look back, I don't regret a thing. We had our ups and downs, but in the end I care a shitload about you and I know you feel the same way. Thank you for always being there.

Anyway, another picture for today.
I think this one shows how i feel right now.
I just want to shoot out of this pit of despair and misery and share my happiness with everyone.



And to cap it off, a different song.
Cos I'm not feeling so Abandoned anymore. Sorry, Jay Park.

10 Points out of 10 - 2pm

La la lalala la la Pretty baby~
La la lalala la la Be my lady~
La la lalala la la Pretty baby~
La la lalala la la Be my lady~

(yes, I'm slowly turning into a kpop fan. Again.)

So, to anyone reading this, I just want you to know there are people that care.
And even in your times of despair and hopelessness, just read this blog.
Or even talk to me! Because everyone looks better when they smile (:

Sickness

So, for the last two days I've been sick and stayed at home all day.
I've texted a lot more than i usually do.
And its made me realise that maybe people do care.
But do they really?

This is a message for all those stressed out HSC students:

Look out for your friends.
Its that simple. At times like these you don't want to lose a friend.
Even if it means staying up til 2am or skipping a few hours of study.
That lost or wasted time (or at least you think its wasted),
Is nowhere near as valuable as your friends and their health.
I mean, imagine trying to do a HSC exam after losing a friend.
Not many people have the emotional strength to even try.
Sometimes, we all just need to take a break.
And in the end, the HSC isn't worth your life.
It doesn't define you or what you can do.
Just try your best, because no one can blame you for that.

Anyway, I thought i should share this photo with you guys today.
I love black and white photos, I don't know why.
But sometimes its good to have a bit of colour in your life (:

The city look so nice from here
Pity I can't see it clearly
While you're standing there, it disappears
It disappears.

Start of a New Blog/Life

So, I've been out of the blogging game for a while.
I almost ragequited at editing html again but i think i finally got it.
Edit: Yes I wasted a lot of time trying to make an awesome blog.
I think ill stick with simple. Simplicity is bliss.

Anyway, out of boredom I've decided to blog.
What to blog about?
Well, I'd like to do things that make people smile.
So I thought I would start by sharing some of my photos with you guys.
Yes, I know, boring huh?
Not to worry, the best is yet to come.
I have other ways to make people smile you know?
Although, I might not blog everyday, I'll try my best.

A quote from a good friend of mine "Everybody needs some care".
I took this to heart and realised, yes everybody does.
So, hopefully through this blog I can share the love with everyone who reads it.
I hope you walk (click) away with a smile (:
