best feelings on earth

Falling asleep after complete exhaustion.

Wearing a newly-dried shirt on a chilly day.

The goosebumps, shake of heart, and heart pouring from singing worship songs with others.

A good workout. 

Having someone understand you. 

Sleeping in perfect weather; not too cold, not too hot. 

Hugging someone you love. 

To be greeted by an old friend. 

To pay off your debt. 

Cuddle a puppy/kitty. 

Walk in the rain. 

Visit a world that takes your breath away. 

Performing a piece of music with vibrato. 

Hot shower on a cold day.

Have someone you can trust. 

Have someone who loves you back. 

song of the week #4

I miss worship songs, so here is one :) 

more summer...and Korra

So I haven't posted in a while, sorry about that. 

Oh yea, this was totally on my mind

I've been catching up on Avatar so I can be up to date with Korra also. Did that pretty much all the past two weeks ish. Gotta say, though, this show is amazing. Season 1 just ended. I remember reading an article about the producers' comments before the finale aired, saying that they have planned a surprise for Korra's audience. Like every episode so far...I've missed them and redeemed myself afterwards by finding them online and watching them there lol. I guess I won't spoil anything, but the finale was some sort of a surprise, not much of a twist though. Of course I'm not saying that they let me down or anything, because personally I think it ended pretty well...except one little thing that I won't spoil xD Also, PABU IS THE CUTEST THING EVER. But no one can bypass Appa, sorry. No one. 

Now I gotta wait until the next season...this will be fun =/ 


This summer I finally got time to sign up for the road test and I just got my license last Monday! :P Now I go places, literally. ;) 


My family is looking for a house and we're trying to see if we can buy the house so we can move back to our old town. Having our own house will be such an experience and I can't wait x) Pray that everything goes well!! 


I've been feeling the desire to talk to someone, to share my thoughts, and then I realized that I don't even know what to say if someone does listen. Do you know that feeling? You want to talk to someone but you realize that you don't have anything to say. Then I realized that what I wanted was company. Just simple company. The moments when you feel a little down, the little hint of sadness, and you just want to have someone by your side. 


Maybe I just need more sleep. Sleep can solve this for a little bit, right? Dreams have some power...


Also, I have gotten like a few more followers on tumblr. It's been a happy week because of that too :P 


I think I'll close for now. The weather's been brewing up a few storms here and there, which means pretty much no tennis :( Gotta wait out this week...


Hope everyone's doing well :) 


-l.h-

song of the week #2

Please enjoy this beautiful piece of improvisation by Kyle Landry :) 

elic movie

I watched Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close movie two days ago, and I just decided to write my opinion on it. Spoilers alert? 


Overall, I think they made it really well. Yes, there are things that they left out, including the entire story with Oskar's grandma and the renter...basically almost zero content on their history. Idk, there's a certain smoothing sensation to their story, and I guess I'm kinda disappointed that their story isn't told in the movie, but at the same time, including it would just be for completeness's sake. As it wasn't really the major point of the novel. 


Thomas Horn played very very well as Oskar, particularly the emotional scenes, including ones with his mother (played by Sandra Bullock, who also did an amazing job). It was clear that Oskar wasn't clear on the idea of love, what it actually means. Every scene was well played by both actors. 


I think I'll give it a 93. :3 If you haven't seen/read it, go do so! 

strength of heart

You know, looking back on my life, it's come to my attention that the definition of "being strong" is slightly ambiguous. I mean, what's the usual meaning? Be strong...when something's out of control, something didn't go your way, something/one hurt you...and the you try to be strong. "Be strong" is to not do stupid things? Not to take the easy way out? Or not to show emotions? What exactly is to "be strong" ? 


I don't know, maybe it's all of these; from my experience, I think it's more to do with not showing emotion / act happy. It's where you "stay strong" and act as nothing out of the ordinary has happened. It's almost like you ignore your past and you become nonchalant. Eventually, though, it becomes a sort of thing you say that tells people that you have learned from your past and it made you "stronger." I'm not sure if this means that the same thing can't hurt me as much as it did before, or whether I'm more indifferent. I think it's a mistake to assume that something can't hurt as much as it did because the detrimental nature of the event that hurt you in the first place will definitely hurt you again, so that rules out the first question. Since it's impossible to simply abandon the past, but then the experience has changed you, and you become more indifferent than you were ever before. I don't know if that's "normal," or, for that reason, "abnormal." 


With all this random stuff, I haven't even been able to answer my own question qq. I think to "be strong" is to not be affected by whatever even you are going through, and thus keep going with life. But yes, that is simply impossible to not be affected so there begins ways  one would adopt to create that false appearance, if you will. When you start to feel too much of the event and the effect it had on your life, you "break down" and end up releasing some emotions.

ALRIGHT. I guess enough of this depressing and me thinking too much. Now it's down on "paper"... What's been going on with me...


Ahh, right, a few things. First of all (and once again), this MCAT studying has brought me to the infamous topic of physics for which I have an intense passionate hatred. Seriously, I don't care about the physics portion. Too many numbers for my own good. The biology stuff is so much more interesting and I don't see why that can't be the only subject (plus chemistry, of course) on the MCAT. I'll never use the big 4 equations anyways...and here I thought physics was no more :( 


On another note, I tried to organize a lunch outing to a chinese/japanese restaurant that's about 30 minutes away with a few friends. Only a handful friends (or like...2 people) have responded, which means that the plan is not exactly falling into place at all D: Maybe I'll just ask more people, idk...The plan is to go this Sat, which means I need to sit down and start calling people! Hah. Wish me luck now. 


Ok so, it's summer, and I'm not sure why it's been 55 degree for the past week. I guess it's fine to have a little rain once in a while, and yes I love rain, but 1) not at home, 2) it's too cold for summer, and 3) I can't do anything sport-wise. This is frustrating =/ 


I'm thinking of getting a baby guitar with nylon strings. MAYBE with a banjo capo so I can play Rylynn correctly lol. 


Oh yea, had that dream again. Heh. 


That reminds me (no idea how), I asked a few friends of mine to describe me in a few sentences because I think my bio section requires a different format. A friend sent me a poem that was absolutely hilarious, and another just wrote like one sentence. Maybe I'll ask more peeps but...we'll see if I actually get enough for a new bio. :) 


So Staples managed to screw up a project of a friend of mine a week ish ago, and now they gave me a rebate that was due a day after day of purchase. I saw the rebate section on the receipt four days after I went to Staples. What the hell, Staples QQ. 


Alright, I gotta go do chores, and then pick up my brother...later guys :) 


Btw, totally doing this when I become a doctor.
