Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

sighs sighs......
i won't have a date for prom.....and i know this even though graduation isn't till like 10 months away. but meh. going to prom isn't about the date you bring, it's not even about the dress you wear. it's significant because it will be one of the last time when you can all look at each other and just remember. after university, many things change. people change. meh.
meh
i don't know. but for some reason, it really calms me down alot. seriously, i always feel alot better after listening to sad songs, or at least slow songs. maybe when i listen to this kinda music, it slows down everything in my world so that i slow down altogether. seriously, my world goes by sooo fast around me, that sometimes i don't even know what to do. but lately, when i listen to slow music, it slows me down and brings me down to earth.
well, i was talking to tommy just last night, and he's like....you seem oddly excited and happy. i suppose this is true. honestly, i've been feeling like this floaty feeling in my stomache for like the longest time! keke^^:D:P i mean....listening to slow music makes me somewhat sad, but when it's all down and stopped, i feel oddly refreshed like a new person. sighs sighs.
it's the beauty of it all. the little things that you don't see. all the things that you are unable to see because you move tooo fast to get from one place to another. sighs sighs.
Well now

Things my Agenda Says....
Pushing The PAUSE button
- Having a problem? Getting Frustrated? Take a brea. Push your mental PAUSE button. Relax. then act - don't reacty.
Sheroes and Heroes
- If you could spend one hour with any person who ever lived, who would it be? Why that person? What would you ask?
What! It's Due Tomoorow?
- Ever freak out because you suddenly realize that a huge test is scheduled for tomorrow, and you forgot all about it? How can you avoid this in the future?
Ego MANIAC...
- Do you need to win? Do you go crazy if you lose? If your ego is dependent on being better than other people, you'll always be insecure. How can you change?
Listening Pitfalls
If you really want to understand, avoid these:
- spacing out
- pretend listening
- selective listening
- judging
- advising
Instead, listen to understand. Listen actively! (personally, i find nothing wrong with advising, but that's cause well, i like listen to all they haveta say first and then imply my 2 cents.....but meh.....whatever floats your boat....)
Synergy is
- Celebrating differences
- teamwork
- being open-minded
- Finding new, better solutions
Synergy is NOT
- Tolerating differences
- Working alone
- Thinking you're always right
- Compromise
Drawn and Quartered
You need to sharpen all four parts of you...
- Physical - Body
Exercise, eating well, sleep, relaxation. - Mental - Mind
Read, learn, write. - Emotional - heart
Relationships, service, laughter. - Spiritual - soul
Keep a journal, meditate, pray, attend church.
