Things I will achieve in life

1. I will be a good teacher for my students. I will make sure that my students receive good education from me. I will take part in shaping my students into becoming good people in their own lives.

2. I will be a professional pianist in some degree.

3. I will be famous. One day, people will see this post if they ask me why.

4. I will have my own school and become a headmistress that cooks for her students. My school will offer a different kind of education that encourages every student to pursue and develop their own potential and become who they truly are.

5. I will be rich so that I can give free education. I will give people chances to lead a better life for them, their family and their community.

6. I will always have faith in God.

7. I will have a big house with a huge library and a relatively complete music room and a private swimming pool.

Laziness

It's July 2012, and I'm going to university in August. Life goes so fast when you think about it this way - I was a mere Junior High student when I started this blog and posted about all kinds of nonsense.

I just read a blog of my friend's (go click that! She's awesome) and after reading her blog posts... I feel that I have no life. Not that I'm dead or anything - I just feel like I'm wasting my life doing nothing. Intending to change? Well, wanting it is one thing, but having the will to completely change is an entirely different thing. But the root of all waste, I think, is laziness. I want to change, but I'm too comfortable to do so, and it made me lazy. When I first knew Gabrielle (the above blogger), I found a lot of similarities between us, but now her interest in everything has taken her everywhere and I'm still stuck here, doing nothing.

Anyway, just to keep this post short (since I don't actually have anything in mind anyway), always remember that laziness is never a good thing to have, and procrastination is never a good thing to do. They take you no where.

My current goals:
- Post a piano video on YouTube
- Write more so that my brain don't rust
- Work hard and succeed in uni!

But before all of those I guess I need to conquer my fear of Ravel's Toccata and actually play the song instead of procrastinating practice every time... But what can I say? Beethoven's Waldstein sonata and Schumann's Papillons sound better... and most importantly, are simpler to play (not easier: simpler. There are too many discordant sounds in that Toccata... dammit).

School Examinations: OVER

It's been ages since I wrote here, or since I wrote anything at all. I think my ability to write has evaporated... somewhere. I still have inspirations, but I cannot seem to put them down to sentences. ...Not good at all... I'll have to get my muse back somehow. I have also fallen into a pit of hedonistic habits, such as lazing around in bed all the time and eating endlessly. This has caused me to get rounder and rounder... definitely not good, too. I'll have to change this.

But anyways, school exams are over! Only national exams left to deal with. Today was the last day, and I think I did pretty well in all of them. Maybe not the most satisfying of results, but I DID study pretty hard ... with the exception for the last two days - which means four tests - as I could already feel the smell of freedom. But I think I did pretty well, anyway. I've been getting bad marks on tests lately and feel totally fail for not being able to do the questions... but I could do the exams with relative ease.

Now waiting for April 16th! I really wanna finish them all quickly!

3 Days Away From School, and Counting (Reluctantly)

Yeah, the holiday's just over so quickly. It's now the last weekend I can truly enjoy with the thought "I haven't really resumed school". Honestly! School is boring, annoying, time-
consuming, tiring... Rawr. That's probably because I don't like the lessons and I don't like most of the teachers. If only I could have a school like Tomoe Gakuen (or a senior high version of it...), maybe I'd enjoy school more (talk about reactive!). I've read the book a kazillion times (I don't need to read it now to spew of the contents. I haven't read it in probably 2 years and yet the events in the book are still clear as day in my mind's eye) and actually, I can read it a thousand times over. It's just I can't remember where I misplaced it the last time I read it. Truly, it's an awesome book with an awesome school and an awesome headmaster and awesome teachers. Mr. Kobayashi was righteously epic! He was one man that truly cared about the life of children, how they should grow properly and how to grow properly. He encouraged just the right environment, the right stimulants and the right attitude to deal with these children. Some of the children in the book were disabled or disfigured and yet with the passing of time their inconfidence disappeared. And Mr. Kobayashi succeeded in making an environment in which children did not call each other names like what children usually do, unconsciously or otherwise. He taught the children to appreciate life and everything in it. He was a great educator.

This holiday was pretty great, though. It started off VERY late, like, December 22nd, only three days before Christmas. But anyway, we had tangyuan that day (though only a little. I don't really like the ginger soup. The peanut inside is EPIC, though). And then there was Christmas Eve. Erh, we had lasagna, so all was good. The choir at the church was... bad, though. Christmas Day. Went to the chapel and the choir was awesomeness it instantly made my day. Didn't do much on Christmas, though. Then it was a week of dull goodness, and New Year's Eve. Had macaroni schotel, greatness. Spent the year change at church (went to NYE mass), and stayed up till half to 5 and slept till 7. Didn't do much on NY, either. The next day we watched MI: Ghost Protocol, and Sherlock Holmes: AGOS on the next day, and they were superb. Made my days. And the rest of my days were more dull goodness up to now... and honestly I don't want them to end. I want more holidaaaaaaaaaaaaaays! I wish I could have January 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9 on the calendar before January 7. 9 more days and I should be ready for school (or at least I should be able to tolerate it!).

Ah, alright. I shall stop my rant for now. It's listed as my first post in 2012! (Apparently it wasn't 2012 yet for blogger when I posted on New Year =P).

Yes, It is 2012!

Happy New Year to all! It is now officially 2012! In fact, almost 3 hours have passed since the year change here...

Let's see, what have I to write? I do have several hopes for this new year:

Resolutions:
~To be more understanding and compassionate towards everyone
~To be serious in everything I do (...and yeah, that includes SCHOOL, the dreaded word)
~To be a better child to God and my parents, and to be a better student to my teachers

Sounds simple and not so goal-oriented... but hard all the same. For example, resolution number two. I know being serious in EVERYTHING is going to be hard. Very, very hard. Especially in things that I have no interest at all: school... and such. I'll try my best to push this laziness away, though. Let the battle of 2012 be declared:

ME VS LAZINESS

I do wish that I'd succeed in university and work later on, and will lead on a happier life especially after I graduate from Senior High. Short-term hopes include, finishing my dreaded paper (blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh), finish my movie project and actually doing the IT graphic project. Then again, they are more goals than hopes, aren't they? Well, for me they are hopes since I have no ambition to seriously complete those stuff.

More hopes, more hopes. I hope I'll be able to stop procrastinating (if gradually) in the year 2012. Urgh, a big goal, but considering as I'll officially be considered an adult next year... (not something I look forward to, anyways) it's not something I can dodge anymore. I gotta be more responsible at stuff and actually do something. That's what I'll hate about being an adult.

The year 2012 hasn't shown much good so far, but blargh, I've been doing nothing useful this past 3 hours. I suppose I can start the year with a bit of (read: MUCH) leisure? I still have a week before I have to resume school, anyway. The annoyingly stupid place...

Alright, that's all I can think about so far. Not blogging for 'most a year has left my brain quite rusty. Happy New Year to all, and to all a Great Year ahead!

Revisiting 2011 in a Glance

Whoa, it's been a year minus 4 days since I last posted here! Okays, due to the limited time I have left here, let me revisit 2011 in a glance...

Conclusion: 2011 wasn't the best year ever considering the many shortcomings I experienced throughout the year, though most of which are caused by my own failure to motivate myself out of laziness.

Yes, that. And I can't say that I'm looking forward to 2012 seeing as I'll be officially an adult then, and adult means old and more responsibility and...

That just doesn't sound good to me. I can very well say I LOVE my days of being young and carefree, thank you very much!

Now my 5 minutes is over... I gotta go now. Happy New Year to all!

Last Days of Holiday

There's so little left of this holiday: no more than 6 days. Even though this was the most uneventful holiday I've ever had, it's also a fun one. Well, any day I spend on the computer it's a fun one, but anyway, any kind of holidays would be better than schooldays. Did I say that senior high is probably the part of school I like best? Still I prefer holidays over it. Just can't get the lazy side under me. I've been sleeping in a lot this holiday - usually I would wake up even earlier on non-school days, but it just don't happen this holiday. I slept it and do nothing but laze around the whole day. A very unproductive holiday, but also a one spent away happily.

Well, at least I keep one of my New Year's Resolution, don't I?

I think I've read the book Pride and Prejudice at least thrice, but I still love that book. For some odd reasons, for the past one year I've taken a liking to light romance. Weird, huh? I still prefer action and mystery over them, but lately I've been thinking that a bit of romance is in order. And I've been reading romance novels like Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Gone With the Wind... and you wouldn't have thought I had a romantic bone in me! Well, anyway, switching the topic away to Gone With the Wind, I am very very disappointed that in the end, Scarlett did something stupid and made poor Rhett left her. Rhett was by far my favorite character in the series, Scarlett ranking second with her awesomeness. Just unfortunately he is sometimes stupid. Since the moment Rhett appeared first in the book, I knew that he would be the one for Scarlett later on.

Speaking about insights, I think reading and watching a lot do you good. I mean, now when I read a story or watch a movie or something like that, I would usually find out who kills who or who will hook up with who the moment the 'right person' comes out. I guess these things do happen when you're used to different kinds of stories, eh? I mean, uh, well, I still can't guess the result of a scientific experiment but I do the ending of a story. Well, anyway, most that I watch lately.

As unproductive as this holiday had been... it's been a fun one. I should hope this never lasts.
