Anew
So! I've just started my new life, new job, and my new course! and so far, it has been cuh-ray-zee! I had a full day training course on my first day. Plus, there was a Psychology conference going on the upcoming weekend, so our Dean held a "welcome-foreign-speakers" party at his place. Caught a ride with my collegue to get in town right after school, socialized (which is exceptionally tiring for me), and yea, I crashed as soon as I got back to my cousin's place. Two full days again for the conference and, of course, more socializing. I feel exceptionally dumb around exceptionally smart people. Even on our ride back, conversations are still based upon "intellectual topics." Phew. I think it's an overload for my tiny little brain and I feel totally incompetent. But, in a good way (if that's even possible). Well, challenges push you forward, right? I'm ready for it! I really need to take on the mentality that there's nothing to lose. I shouldn't be holding back. I'm given such a great learning environment and well-educated peers, I really need to get into it. Ah... I'm exhausted after a long weekend, but so content :)

Wish
Honestly, I should be satisfied with my life. I have everything I could ever ask for. But somehow, there's a tiny little sorrow tugging the corner of my heart. I can't explain it, yet I can't deny it. I've been trying to suppress it, to ignore it, but it wouldn't go away. Ah, what should I do. Even if I were given a wish, I wouldn't know what to wish for.

Nostalgia
I hold on to a small wish that maybe one day when I get married, I'll go back to Hawaii for my honeymoon! But these days, I've been hoping to visit way before that.
I miss the island that I grew up at. I miss the burning sun, the soft wind. I miss the ocean and the mountains. I miss walking. I miss theBus, espeically 1 and 58. I miss Waikiki. I miss Kahala Beach. I miss clean toilets and theaters. I miss getting Yogurtland after school and Jamba Juice during work break. I miss Dippin Dots. I miss sleepovers. I miss sliding down spiral staircases in a sleeping bag. I miss pool parties. I miss fitting a floatie boat in a pool. I miss water balloon fights. I miss Cherisse and Traci. I miss hanging out at parking lots late at night cause we don't know where to go. I miss wearing pretty floral dresses to work. I miss working with little kids. I miss pandora.com. I miss google.com. I miss shakas. I miss wearing sweaters. I miss my David and Goliath boxers. I miss AE undies. I miss monthly scary movie nights with Gina. I miss watching Boy Meets World or just talking about nonesense with my roomie on sleepless nights. I miss studying at Barnes and Noble. I miss Victoria's Secret's lotion. I miss Bath and Body's hand sanitizer. I miss spam musubis. I miss Leonard's malasadas. I miss eurotrip planning with Jackie during lunch time. I miss ordering chicken summer rolls but switching for a shrimp summer roll with Shari at Balle. I miss Aloha Friday. I miss flowers. I miss hanging out at Kahala Mall till midnight. I miss visiting Gina at Banana. I miss trying out new cafes with Jade. I miss red Falcons and green Warriors. I miss marching band. I miss Christmas. I miss 808. I miss that piece of rock in the middle of nowhere!
What I'm trying to say is... I miss HAWAII! <3

There are just some times when there are so much thoughts in your head, that when you toss and turn in the middle of the night, you're struck by one of them and become wide awake. Ah... sleepless nights.

Fido Dido!
When writing an abstract for our thesis, we had to include five keywords that summarize what our thesis is about. To sum up my week in five words, it would have to be...
KEYWORDS: HAPPY, MOTIVATED, PRODUCTIVE, SATISFIED, EXCITED.
Life may be full of twist and turns, rough and bumps, but it's also full of surprises! I'm hyper excited about my life! I don't know what the future has in store for me, but the process of working hard is satisfying in and of itself. I really need to learn the attitude of "who cares what the world thinks." Thankfully, I've been immersed in my own world, keeping my eyes focused on what really matters. I need to keep practicing and maintaining what I've been doing and just leave everything else to Him.

Diamond
My brain is a bucket full of liquid: mineral water, raindrops, acid.
If only it could transform into a water filter: capable of separating nutrients from germs, absorbing the first and disposing the latter.
