.: I wish I can sleep :.

 
today... april 28, 2010
outside my window... drizzling and cloudy, perfect weather for staying in
i am thankful for... knowing genuinely good people in my life
I am wearing... white ruffle top, gray knit wrap, gray stripey skirt, and a black legging
noticing that... my room has become a doggie daycare
i am still reading... The Tipping Point
i can hear... the sound of rain hitting the window
on my mind... wish I can take a nap with the dogs
pondering these words... Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint - Mark Twain
from the kitchen... big cup of coffee and homemade molen
around the house... smells like bath & body work coconut something
one of my favorite things... my roomie's giant coffee mug with pink-striped straw

.: day of pink :.

I miss this, but I think it's a great cause to support. This badge was made by miss tiina as her support for Day of Pink which supports diversity and fight against discrimination, bullying and homophobia in schools. Wear this on your blog if you're agree with the cause.

.: short story :.

{ makes me happy everytime I wear it ... }

today...
Outside my window  the rain is falling since early morning
I am thinking about not having to explain myself for what I believe in. I don't understand why people love to force their opinion on others. weird.
I am thankful for
having a decent taste in everything
From the kitchen  I can see all the recent pee puddles
I am wearing my chicken farm pajama
I am creating a thesis guideline book. still
I am going to buy more ink for my printer
I am reading my mom's endless text messages
I am hoping to be less annoyed by a lot of things
I am hearing the beautiful sound of rain
Around the house is the 'kids' toys strewn everywhere
One of my favorite things is my anthropologie necklace that my mom bought me last christmas

.: simple daybook :.

It's been a little challenging for me to do blogging lately, with thesis research and classes and scrapbooking responsibilities. Then I stumbled upon this journaling called Simple Woman's Daybook, with prompters that are easy to follow. I'll try to do this later perhaps.

  { please light my way, I am lost... }


Today...
Outside my window  the sky was bright earlier today 
I am thinking about how can I survive this thesis thing

I am thankful for not freaking out over smallest details. yet
From the kitchen  I can see how dirty my car is
I am wearing my birdcages pajama that should go to the laundry bin
I am creating a thesis guideline book
I am going to take more pictures
I am reading The Tipping Point all over again
I am hoping to get a grip on my mind soon
I am hearing laughters from next door. hmmm.....
Around the house is still messy from the pajama party last weekend
One of my favorite things IKEA vanilla scented candle

.: why design :.

People like him got me all excited about design again. He's extremely talented and he's just 18 years old. His work got a lot of attention already. This guy was approached by the FBI because his thesis is so convincing. I'm a 30 years old student who got stuck in her thesis approach and nobody in the industry knew who I am. Who will get hired first? Exactly.

.: browser-happy day :.

I may have fallen into an internet vortex today... First I found a very interesting 'math' site with clean typography, fill an IQ quiz, and now this.  I wear colored contact lens for kicks, but this company has taken it to another level. Anyone else find the 'Special Lens' sections disturbing or is it just me?

Lots of symbolism, brilliant.

.: reminder :.

Everyone must have seen his Carnegie-Mellon talk. I saw it, touched by it, but after a while I forgot about it. He gave a shorter version of his Last Lecture on Oprah, and I was reminded again. Hope we won't forget it too soon.

.: how to eliminate disruptive behavior once and for all :.

 my professor roland young :  poster boy for disruptive behavior.
via @jasonpermenter

a.k.a : the fantasy project. Everyone that I talk to about my thesis project were skeptical. They said it can't be done. It's like I'm trying to save the world. Promote world peace. All those things that are nice to say but can never be done. It's so far out, you can't really see it. I fear that this is the core problem. I've been yakking about lack of respect, lack of common understanding, but the core problem is these skeptical thoughts. There is a thin line between being realistic and just too lazy to think. It is challenging, but I don't believe that NOTHING can be done. I've been researching interesting stuff about the topic, but also I listen to the thing that people say. I'm just blown away. "Why do you have to be so loud?" "Because I want to. And, because I can. So what?" Sheer arrogance. "Why are you so arrogant?" "This is who I am. I won't change a damn thing about me. I'm awesome. Screw you." Well then, your arrogance has no base because you're only allowed to be slightly proud when you're actually capable of doing something out of the ordinary. But you can't even change yourself. Why so proud, then? I wish I can dare these arrogant schmucks to be kind or I'll shoot them. They'd rather be shot I suppose. Oh, don't forget the classic blaming game. "I annoy other people because other people annoyed me." "She does that, too! Why don't you yell at her?" What is wrong, people? Why so rude? What can I do to convince you not to be rude?
