amazing.

Junior high school students in Chicago were studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of the lesson, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyon in Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.” The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.”

The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch…
2. to taste…
3. to see…
4. to hear… (She hesitated a little, and then added…)
5. to feel…
6. to laugh…
7. and to love.

The room was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.

May this story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don’t have to travel anywhere special to experience them.

Enjoy your gifts!

to you, from me.

it’s been a while since we’ve actually talked, but for once, i’m not trippin’. i guess you can say i’ve moved on - finally - but i still can’t help but wonder if it’s the right thing to do. i honestly thought you were the one, whatever the hell that means. haaah. i trusted you; we made promises to each other. and now that i look back at them, all it is to me now is complete bullshit. not that you lied or broke them, that’s a definite NO, but just how much time i wasted on you. jeeeez, i focused on you more than school ! maybe that’s the reason for the rapid deterioration of my grades ? i’m not sure if it’s cuhs i spent my time dreaming of the day when you’d realize all this, or if it was my own laziness that got in the way. but in all honesty, i am as happy as ever. i’ve realized that there are other ways to achieve happiness, ways that do not have your name written all over them. now i see your sn on my buddy list & for once, i don’t get butterflies & hurry to double-click so i can talk to you before you sign off. but out of reassurance, pat yourself on the back cuhs i don’t think i’ve ever fallen for someone that hard in such a short amount of time. y’know that quote “you had me at hello” ? yeah, you’re a perfect example of that. but now, i can actually go through a day without thinking of you, & when i do, all it is is that i hope you’re happy, cuhs i know i am. (:

winter break.

needs to end, right now. i hate it. i have no plans whatsoever; it's just wake up, sit in front of tv or computer, eat one meal, nap, shower, sleep. literally. okay, fine. i went to work on monday. but that's about it. i worked my ass off for 5 hours only to be paid $10 by my mom. lameshit. today's christmas eve, but it seriously doesn't feel like it. i'm so over break & i can't wait for school to start again. hopefully 2010 will be a better year. i'm sick & tired of the same old bullshit i wake up to everyday.

on the bright side though, my best friend's back from virginia (: which means, sushi & me getting a life ? yes, please.
