90 Seconds of Gratitude

The things I am grateful for:

• Chocolate XD
• My education
• MY FAMILY (includes Moki)
• Friends
• Beauty of nature
• Jason Mraz
• iPod Nano
• Movies
• Music
• The sun

Got this idea from Jason Mraz's blog--don't want to take credit for it if it's not mine!! Some of the bullets above are, as I realize after typing them, a little corny--like education, for example. I probably wouldn't be able to spell the word "grateful" correctly if it weren't for education, though. And 'Beauty of nature'/'the sun' are other kind of corny ones, but I really mean it, because I find nature to be... beautiful, and if I could never see the light of the sun anymore... Well, first, I'd probably be dead, and second--seeing the sun rays after days of downpour is one of the most inspiring things for me. Talk about corny. Honestly though, none of us could live without it.

So there's a little food for thought in your day, and I really hope you'll try the "90 seconds of Gratitude" list yourself sometime today or tomorrow. ^_^ Ciao for now!!!

You know what constantly makes me smile?

(I almost forgot to include:

• Fridays--TTTomorrow'sF :D)
  
• Love, because it gives me hope
• Puppies, especially when they yawn (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
• That dumb look you have on your face =P
• A chocolate Frosty
• And lastly, the song "La vie en rose," because it always reminds me of our 'humanness'
  
  Period.

OMG, look at that t-shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't STAND it. As an avid ninja-lover that is. But let's not start a war, pirates are awesome too.

I like coffee, I like tea..

This post is for the fellow Waldorf classmates who taught me the Ahchi-Kachi Liberace hand game. I know I saw some (though not all) of you on Saturday, but surprisingly the most inviting of all my former Waldorfian classmates was Aaron, who is over 6' tall, still breakdances, and is a guy of all things. ;0 It was good to meet new Waldorfians, and greet old ones (although Ms. Hart is the farthest from old at heart and I met a harmonica/guitar-playing college freshman, who I personally consider young as far as age goes).

Glad to be done with that godd*@n French project, but now need to study for AP Bio and practice. DOES IT EVER END???

Here's the practical answer: Not if I want to get into college =(

That's pretty much the reason I'm blogging. I need an ESCAPE from the shitloads of work to be done. (Excuse the expression) Also on my list of needs: more self-control :(

So that means I'm done for today and seriously need to go do something productive now. But maybe I'll get some coffee or tea before I do... this is how it all starts, isn't it? ("it" refers to procrastination, BLEH)

jAsOn MrAz

must be the human being with highest level of consciousness I have ever encountered so far in my life. However, I have never encountered him in real life, only vicariously through the Internet, but meeting and/or marrying him is definitely on my Bucket List. Jason Mraz just came out with an EP album--my fave song is definitely "Up." Coincidentally, that's also the title of a Pixar (*squee!!!!*) movie. Check out the album here.
