falling. failing?

2009 has been quite rough for me so far. i need to change myself as all the flaws in my character have caused chaos.

laziness will be the death of me.

i feel out of place whenever i visit the guys at st gab's band. i dunno how to help or improve my own section. i cant even play well anymore nor do i know wat it is that they could do to sound better, im not a hundred percent sure how to guide them. sometime i feel like im juz there to kill time. i miss playing the most. i find joy in performing with friends during concerts. letting them enjoy listening to us.the success we share when we go for competitions like the syf. and juz hanging out together, fooling around.

really miss it so much.

i also havent been taking care of my body much. im already rather average in height and i cant seem to sleep early and have long peaceful hours of rest. stupid habit needs to go. im bloody heavy too. my weight exceeds the appropriate rang for my damn bloody short of length from head to toe,.

screw that. lazybug has fully invaded my system, im falling apart bit here and there.

gotta pull myself together. school's starting in a month, gotta be serious now.

im on the ground. i fell, time to pick me self up. failed here and there, time to get something right somewhere.

speaking of falling.. i dunno if i have.. or its juz one of them lil jokes called infatuations..

damn these crushes to the heart. like i wanna hav more things at night to keep me awake.

if i were to mention to you three words. as you gave me some comfort in my life. shared part of yourself. and allowed me to do the same. would this juz break away and reveal itself as juz my imagination..? im scared. a coward. i'll hang on to this for now.

slow and easy

at the moment i wish the days could pass by more quickly.. but things are quite fine the way it is.. i kinda gave up on the sales job that AK and i tried out for.. so now i spend my free time helping out the band.

their syf is on the first day, band number 5, juz after the interval... there aint much time left.. but i believe they could just pull it off. Gabrielites generally always 'chiong' when it comes to exams and competitions.. heh..

going back and watchin them practice makes me miss playing in the band a lot. it isnt the same sitting there and giving a few pointers here and there. though at times, yes the practices do get dull. playing the same thing over and over.. the reward is fantastic, totally cancels out watever negative feeling.. haha

if the attitude is there, you can achieve just about anything.. a friend of mine was so determined and set his mind to run 10km daily. went through this routine for 3 months and dang, he looks in real great shape.. 30 kg burned mind you... heh.

haha.. now i should really stop being too lazy..

tired mind

i am unable to have a proper sleep cycle. i find myself constantly going to bed past midnight. whenever i try to fall asleep earlier, itoss and turn as i attempt to drown out thoughts that appear. my mind keeps generating situations of 'what if?' its driving me mad. thus i counter this by going to bad when im sure my mind is really worn out, and once i hit the sack, i just drift into a less peaceful state of rest. sometimes i do not feel tired enough and here i go again, pick up a book to get that sleepy feeling.then i rise from my slumber round mid day. i wanna take sleeping pills to force myself to revert to a better sleep cycle (if i ever did in the first place) im getting sick of doing nothing each day too. i kinda miss the schedules that shape each day of my life. my body and mind is used to waking up getting dressed for sch going through lessons at this time of the year. hmm, weird.. that makes me sound like i miss sch. maybe.i know i miss playing in band. playing on the alto. im too used to that routine. i may be lazy and have some sort of happy go lucky attitude, but i don't think i would go that far. i feel absoulutely like a slob. the pc games are addictive and do help kill of time. but thanks to my parents upbringing, i do not feel that much of a-dick-tive towards these form of escape from the present. id rather play them than do nothing. i can go out too. but then most of the ppl i know are in school.. or working.. Ahh- i could have found a job. yeah, but due to a chain of events which so far made me feel the BIGGEST loser of this whole affair, im relying on parents for the spare cash to spend. recently i revived my bike. brought it out for a spin. i welcome the exercise, my body seem to have forgotten the physical pleasures excessive movements that causes all that sweat to make clothings sling to skin, the odour that comes soon after, relief of accomplishment, and hammering of a fistsized muscle-balloon against ribs. as though one is blindly hitting a xylophone. i want to play the guitar but i know i am limitedly skilled. singing songs alone make me feel as though im deranged. choir is good. though somewhat i get this feeling, umcomfortable. theres also 'that' feeling.. wont mention it at all. -pass- hmm... ive been on facebook so often that its getting irritating. esp with lots of the status reminding more of 'what if?' i used to play on the xbox while it was still around. now its the laptop. reading is better but its hard to find stuff that will hold ur interest in the library. and to buy 'emat popular? why yes, $$$$$. im getting lazy that i can even change my mind easily when i told myself and friends we're going out on this day. pang seh ah? then i'd feel guilty and haul my lazy arse outta the door. sorry melv. now im sitting thinkung that i wanna go back to stgabs and check out the band's syf preparations.. but my lazyness is clouding the confirm button in my head. wahh.. somehow i think lots of this is caused by me still being a lil upset. i was hoping i could get into CJC. though the subject combo may suck and all, i know i can do pretty well. i keep telling myself screw that, but theres still that bitter taste in my mouth, no matter how many glasses of water i drain. gotta find something stronger then.. not wanting to stop typing on a flat key. i cant wait to start school i guess. aeronautical engineering seems preety cool. its the only thing that really sparked my interest aside the whole darn list of poly courses. and i got it at SP. that aint too bad.. its still about a month plus. thats a lot of time. no fun doing nuting and go waste it.

hmm.

bullcrap

when things don't go the way you wish it would. some say there's a reason behind it, that its part of a plan.

doesnt help numb the bittersweet disappointment that swelled up deep within. fuck that.

cross my fingers.

its the start of school for those posted to their respective junior colleges. i was posted to aeronautical engineering in Singapore Poly. no complaints, it was my first choice cuz i couldnt put any JCs in my 12 choices..

back then i thought it would require a miracle for me to somehow continue my education in a JC due to me getting a -9 for my french. and yes i was right, the miracle was a group of people.. my friends have somehow helped me see some faint glowing hope. now ive done what i could. at least i wont regret not taking any sort of action. now i juz have to wait. and pray too.

rollercoaster!!!!!!!!!!

its now comin' to the end of january, a month since my last post. which wasnt much of a post anyway.

since the O's, its like i've been chained to a cart and been treated to a crazy ass track that could go endlessly on a straight boring and slow pace then out of nowhere, the ride of ur life. then it builds up the tension as it climbs higher and higher till u cant breathe cuz of the altitude and when u thought u died as u race to ur grave, u laugh cause theres still more to go through, good or bad? we'll see...

first though, the reason why i never did type anything since, is because of my wonderful cousins.. though there are times wher things got a little ugly, they brought more life in our house.. and dad finally joined us too. so the whole family is together!

to put it simply, i had an unforgettable christmas/new year.
it was my first time experiencin in the phils. i think it can be compared with how my chinese friends celebrate their CNY. to BE with relatives and spend time together full of smiles and laughter. it just happens that we need to get on a flight to see them, generally most could drive, take public transport or just stretch their legs.

well, till next time when we reunite and cause some more mayhem..

now that we're back, i've not entirely been lazin' around. though i couldnt hope to find a job, looks like i still gotta depend on parents.. -.-
and suddenly we got our results.. mine were......... okay. 4Bs 2As.. 15 , 11. it wasnt so bad. could have been much worse. my hopes of gettin admitted to a jc is still lingering about. although CJC is about the only relative chance i've got.
I've set my mind though, that even if i do not get accepted, SP aerospace is really cool. wherever i may end up, i just have to work hard.

so now just hanging around. been attendin CJC band prac. thanks to my senior who has really helped me a lot. i did get a cultural shock in the first prac i attended. St Gab's band isnt bad, but it's been a while since we played really challenging songs. not to mentioned that i've let myself slacken in my playing.. so i have to work hard for band as well if i do get in. the songs are managable, just need prac and soon it'll be okay. juz get a lil nervous playin there.. add to that a sort of tradition to follow.. cant afford to be the one who breaks it... >.<

yeah, so my life has more or less been revolvin around outings with my friends, helpin out at st gabs, prac at cjc. its a simple schedule to follow and carefree.. oh, i caught a movie with AK, Changeling, it was fantastic.. haha.

its gettin late, tmr gonna play full 11 v 11 wit jacob and his classmates. and i'm tired since there was prac earlier.
