So say it like you mean it

TGIF

Ever since internship started, my weekends have become so much more precious. Not that I don’t enjoy work, but being able to just rest and relax feels so good :) I’m enjoying work because I’m learning new things everyday. Really fortunate to have patient and kind colleagues who are willing to teach me. I’m considering extending the internship period, but then my entire holiday would be burnt. Oh well, there’s pros and cons to everything, I just gotta make my choice. 

I really wanna go on a holiday, get out of here, see new sights, meet new people. However, I’m not too keen on going on the Korea summer trip like my friends suggested. I feel really really bad to have to disappoint them, but that is honestly not what I want… The main reason why I would want to visit Korea is because of the weather! In winter. I hate it when the weather is so hot, which will be the case if we go in August. Plus there will be typhoons which make it very inconvenient to travel around :( 

Oh yeah, I’ve decided to go back to blogging in prose often. The reason is simple - I don’t wish to look back and see that I’ve practically left a part of my life empty just because I’m lazy to blog about it. I will still be posting images, verses, and quotes because honestly, they tell a lot about me. Every single post has a meaning behind it! 

Alright, gonna savor my precious weekends now, yay.

20

Even though my 20th birthday was rather simply spent, I still feel so blessed to have received the sweetest birthday messages/card, surprise, and gifts from the people who matter :) Even my colleagues got me a cake :’)

I think birthdays are a pretty good indicator of who really cares and who don’t. You can simply tell how sincere the person is by the quality of texts/ PMs/ handwritten letters (yes I love receiving handwritten letters) etc. You can tell when they give you a well-planned birthday surprise. You can tell when they actually bother  to ask about your availability without assuming that you will be spending your birthday with someone else. You can tell when they wait till the clock strikes 12 and sends you the sweetest birthday message to remind you that you are loved (doesn’t have to be 12 but I just know who will stay up just to do this!). 

Unfortunately, every year there will still be people whom you expect will remember your birthday but don’t. It’s not about how great your birthday is that everyone should remember, but it really goes to show how important (or unimportant) you are to that person. This year, the person whom I least expect would forget, forgot. Of all people, how can it be you. Honestly I’m totally disappointed in you. But thank you for confirming my unimportant place in your heart. See? Man will always disappoint, even our most loved ones. 

On another note, I can’t believe I’m 20. Welcome my confused self to adulthood! Hopefully this marks the beginning of something beautiful :) 

I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.
