common ground .

when people bitch about their lives on their blogs, a recurring theme is how they are misunderstood and others don’t know them at all. i’ve read many blogs that thrive on screaming that outsiders do not understand… and maybe they don’t understand why all you do is whine on your little net space while expecting people to read your hidden messages and care what you say. it’s true, no one knows you for the person you really are when they peer in on your life like this. how tragic.

i’m different. maybe not in the part about the whining and all, but i do believe the people that read my blog know me much better than the people that know me in person and don’t read my blog.

anniversary .

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY to my blog!

can you believe that i’ve been blogging continuously for a year?! how crazy is that. obviously i have way too much to say.

maybe my attention span isn’t as short as i thought it was; maybe i don’t get bored too easily. maybe i underestimate myself. hopefully.

or maybe i just like bitching to the world about my life. i’m not quite sure. but i hope i will be blogging here for many years to come. we can have a birthday party every year, just you and me and the rest of the internet.

back to the future .

i have returned to a world of unblocked and fast internet! and oh, what a wonder it is. i am now able to view articles about communism, sex and porn all from the comfort of my own computer, without using a proxy server and without the danger of a government putting me in jail. i feel so free.

i have also returned to my shoes on the balcony and my books in the toilet. all courtesy of my sweet and loving mother. but this is no time to complain; it is time to rejoice! life as i know it is back, and here to stay.

there’s a weird noise coming from outside my window though; i don’t remember sydney being this noisy. compared to shanghai i always figured it was extremely quiet.

the unhappy camper .

OHMYGOD i can blog!!

it’s extremely dodgy and most of my page isn’t even loading, but the important thing is that the box i write in is still here, and god am i thrilled. man have i missed rambling about my pathetic thoughts on my own little web space.

i’ve got to hand it to the asians though; they sure know how to invent things.

but now, on to blogging.

so i’m sick. not like i’ve sneezed a couple of times and need some rest kind of sick. more like the take me to the hospital so i can get a drip stuck in my hand kind of sick. i didn’t, so don’t get worried just yet, but i might as well have.

 soundtrack: life, as usual // thoughts: back where they started

i feel like i haven’t blogged in a million years. i’ve been missing this place, but i couldn’t help it since i didn’t have net for the last week and a half. you won’t even begin to understand how it feels, you there, sitting in front of your computer, surfing the net, chatting on msn. you haven’t been through the pain i’ve been through. unless of course you have.

the need for internet is a weird thing. once you’re addicted, and once you begin relying on it for everything, withdrawal symptoms are inevitable. everything is on the internet. friends, invitations, information, events… life…

the calm after the storm .

soundtrack: people talking // thoughts: of the present

blogging at work experience because there’s not much to do. not that i expected they’d let me sell houses or anything, but since i get a computer, at least i can blog.

so what have i been doing? partying, sleeping, eating, partying. 

dean’s party was good because everyone (save a few) got tipsy and let go of all their inhibitions. consequently i now have incriminating photographs of many of my friends. i put them on my msn space, not FACEBOOK, because i’m stubborn like that.

countdown .

 soundtrack: shayne ward; melt the snow // thoughts: nerdnerdnerd

man my tag cloud makes me look like a nerd. but please, listen to me explain!

i started tagging yesterday, and i found that my blogs are all about the most random shit ever. i currently have eight pages of tags, which is more than 200 tags altogether. it’s because i always find something different to write about, and the really big ones are the constants in my life; therefore hsc, study, etc have more posts to them. it’s really not because i’m a nerd or anything. honestly.

renovations .

soundtrack: atozzio; i quit // thoughts: are in the clouds

quick update about the changes i’ve made; you will notice that the banner is not longer clickable. to redirect to the home page you will now have to click “Blog” which is in tiny font right under the banner. also, you may notice that the picture of me at the right is now clickable, if you click it, the blog will pop up with a random post (this probably isn’t for you if you’ve read all my posts). i also RSSed garmon’s blogspot (because his wordpress doesn’t update that often), and i’m working on a better banner.
