Did you ever hide or store something in a place so secretive, that in the end, even you couldn't find it?

Today I worked very hard in trying to pack everything for “move-in” day tomorrow. When I got down to “decorations” on my “things to pack” list, I looked EVERYWHERE in my room for my compilation of artwork and photographs that I would use to decorate my dorm. I looked at every corner of my room and foraged through all my drawers, but my efforts were of no avail. I lamented long and hard for them, but in the process, I discovered photographs of my family. I suddenly became nostalgic and completely forgot my loss. Now, I am forcing myself to accept that I have thrown my art compilation away so I can move on. 

(sigh) Packing can be very tiresome.

Just going to take a break from posting about China and update on how I am now.

Today, something stroke me as unusual. So, my cousin showed me one of his “how are you feeling today” shirts, you know, the ones with all the different faces that convey different feelings. There was “happy, sad, confused, angry, etc.”.. But I looked and looked, and couldn’t really point out the correct face. No… I wasn’t happy, nor sad…

I felt just right.

Could “content” be the fitting word? I thought it was funny how “content” didn’t equate to “happy” to me. “Happy” had such a fleeting meaning, whereas “content”… the feeling of content stayed. One can be content for a long time.

Ah, just another mindless ramble of mine. Ughh.. Mom’s always nagging, nagging, nagging.  But that’s not going to change. I really can’t wait to get out of the house, and come back at most, once a week.

Tomorrow is Sunday.

Go have fun, because you deserve it. 

Oh, and for all those avid readers out there, go borrow “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” by Haruki Murakami. He’s a wonderful writer, and this book is by far, the most interesting fiction book I have ever read. It’s long, but definitely worth it. Trust me. 

Alright, I promise to end here. Good night, and sweet dreams.
