If I haven't contacted you for a while...

  • Jul 6, 2008
  • Post a comment
it's not because I don't miss you...
not because I haven't had time for you..

just because I've been thinking too much..
planning too much
worried sometimes, and troubled sometimes
especially when I have too much to tell you
and perhaps when I'm afraid it wouldn't be like how I hoped it would be

If I haven't contacted you for a while..
know that I'm thinking of you more than you know it..
and if you know me..
you'll know what I mean

I miss you all =)
Really.

Flying with Hibbo
Flying with Hibbo
Top Ten tips for Savoring Great Moments (By Fred Bryant)

1.       Take a mental photograph of great moments
2.       Acknowledge and enjoy your achievements
3.       Sharpen your sensory perceptions – focus on one sense at a time
4.       Jump up and down, smile and laugh!
5.       Make positive comparisons
6.       Get absorbed in the moment
7.       Cultivate gratitude
8.       Remind yourself how fleeting life is and appreciate what you have now
9.       Avoid kill-joy thinking
10.  Share good feelings with others

This summer's gonna be great! =)
even greater if I work on points 2, 5, 8 and 9..*lol*

Yeps finally!
Haven't been blogging for a while due to my very packed exam schedule..
This term I'm doing two years in one, so it's been real hectic
But somehow I managed! =)
And I have excellent grades too.. Praise God!

During this period I actually became a worry wart..
Not that I'm usually not..haha. But just especially.. =(
Well it's mostly about my proneness to develop lumps and cysts..
like everywhere.
In addition to being shocked with my first lumps 6 years ago..
and continually being shocked with more..
the dentist found a cyst beside my wisdom tooth..haha
oh and just last week the optometrist found a cyst at the corner of my eye.
not on the eye though...
Even though everyone's been telling me they're nothing to worry about
Being the worry wart i am
I can easily imagine scenes of me bloated up with lumps..*laughs*
And I'm suddenly afraid of dying..
from you-know-what
Mostly because I love my life now..cherish it and hate to see it destroyed
Anyway, I decided to quit being worrisome about it (as of now)
and hey I haven't learnt CBT for nothing yep..

*craving for fried oyster now*
Cin will know why..haha

Was incredibly late for lessons today, but walked as if I had all the time in the world..
Besides I had an essay to hand in, and had to print it!
But still I had to walk at 1m/s...

Just because I felt like I was a princess!
Spring is so beautiful..
If I were to describe how I felt just now, I would have to invent new words
My path was strewn with flowers
and above me flowers were floating in the air!
See why I felt like a princess?
If only I had my camera with me...

By the way, as I am writing this blog in school, someone came up to me and asked to take a photo of me.
Though it was for some project for theirs..
still i feel special (okay)...HAHA.
.
God made me a princess today.

Pics here were shot when we were in Bieszczady.
Enjoy
!

Play the Vocab game here!
For each word that you get correct, 20 grains of rice will be donated to help end hunger..
By UN World Food Program.
I've already bookmarked it and will check it whenever I can.. =)
My vocab level is nothing to be proud of though..haha.
I'm sure Jacek will do better - he's been going through his list of (crazy) GRE words for a long time

My beloved Jacek proposed to me on beautiful Kapelusz mountain! 
And of course I agreed...
though it came as a complete surprise - When he told me to close my eyes...I thought he was going to put a bug in my hands..And when I felt some ring-y thing, I thought it's made of grass..lol!
And so...I put on the gorgeous ring (with sapphire and diamonds..not huge, haha.. but they mean a lot to me!)
And we celebrated on Kapelusz with splendid Porta wine
 now we're gonna start planning for the next step of our life together...
Overjoyed! Euphoric! Elated, Jubilant, Exuberant!!!
You get what I mean..SO HAPPY!!!!


 ~ I thank God for the wonderful love that has bound our hearts and lives together ~

p.s. pardon all the flowery and cutey stuffs all over my pics.. =P
it's joy overflowing..haha
more pics later =)

Pic taken right after proposal..I thought I looked terrible that day, but compared to silly Jacek who prefers not to smile in pics..I think I'm beautiful!! haha.. For those who don't know (yet) , there's this Polish culture thing about being 'natural' in photos.. and me posing with a smile is like totally superficial!! *smilessss*

Engagement ring

My lovely ring! MY PWECIOUS!! haha
Princess-cut sapphire with 4 flush-set diamonds =)
My fingers somehow became smaller..10.5 and it's too big for my 4th finger..
Now we have to go and make it smaller..meantime wearing it on my mid finger so it doesn't drop off.. =P

We have a piece of land at Bieszczady already..but I guess we'll build a vacation house there.
Still it's time to start planting some trees and bushes!! *looking forward*

First Vox blog post

And so..Back in the blogosphere again. It's a good thing, actually. Reflects the increased amount of time I have, to sit down and write something personal. Well, not that I'm an exceptionally busy person. Just when there's a mountain-pile of schoolwork waiting for me to conquer, each time I get to rest, I choose to laze around and simultaneously worry bout my mountain-pile. It's funny how I've been blogging on and off, AND on and off. (And..). Blogging's great because like many others, thinking (incessantly) is one of my favorite activities, and to write bout oneself's thoughts keeps one in flow. Then I stopped because I have too many things to write about, I don't know where to start from- and then I'm petrified by thoughts of wanting to write so much I won't have time to finish..*laughs* The fact that procrastination's my worst nemesis didn't help as well.

-- AH! I just put toothpaste into my contact lens case!! Goodness, such mindlessness. Imagine the effort my brain devotes to thinking.Clumsiness is when Jing's thinking too hard, and Hibbo takes over..Hibbo's apparently very active nowadays..*lol* Perhaps it's the rum&coke I've been drinking tonight..--

So anyways, I'm back to blogging on my fleeting epiphanies again. =) This time it's gonna be a tad bit different though- more serious topics I suppose. One of my NewYear's resolution was to "Sharpen the Saw"..In all areas. Yea I know. Not exactly like the very SMART goals I've been learning to set for years- kinda like an overarching goal. Well, blogging's definitely one of my tools for sharpening my mental saw, and this time I hope to explore deeper issues (ambitious!). I've been trying to read more as well. Right now I'm reading Independent People by Halldor Laxness. The person who recommended it to me claimed Icelanders consider it a national treasure. Right now I'm only a few chapts into it, and will write a review once I'm through. =)

So Tada! My very first vox post!! =) Nay grand in nature, nay prolific, nay amazingly well-written. Plain rambling. =)
