Bibimbap

Remember that bibimbap dupstep commercial they made on GSL last season? It was the first thing that introduced me to bibimbap and now I've finally done it. To be honest, I don't really cook. But when the current maids cook like crap, you've no other choice but to take it in your own fairly capable hands. Woulda been nice if my father was able to help since he was there to buy the ingredients with me, but sadly he's already gone away for work this afternoon.

Up for the Entire Night

Tonight I woke up at 12 midnight. It's not that strange but I wish my body would stop doing that. You know, getting drowsy at an early point in the night, and then waking up and finding yourself awake the rest of the night. Now I got nothing to do. Tomorrow's Independence Day so whoopee! We're all gonna be home together. And yes, that makes me happy, 'cause we don't get that a lot.

Don't Take It Away

I may be inch by inch stepping away from my dreams and I can't help but blame everything I'm doing to kill any impulsive wants, and hopes right now. And it doesn't help that I'm forced to stay at home when all there is here two-thirds of a month is nowhere near a family.

I've been feeling like she's being passive aggressive to me about this all. This house doesn't feel like home at all when both my sis and my father are away. There can be no happiness at all during those times, and I'd have to find ways to cheer myself up, and not be affected. But some days, there's just no escape. I dunno. I find that she just can't balance family with work. Surely, I've got a lot of problems with her right now. If only I could tell her, but I can't. We weren't raised that way. We weren't raised to talk back and question them because for the longest time, they've been giving us the best they could, and they've been all about giving us a satisfactory life. Whatever drama they're dealing with, they always keep from us. Basically, we've been sheltered.

"That proves you are unusual,” returned the Scarecrow, “and I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed."

Yesterday News

Guess what. I finally got my adviser change. Finally. Now I'm hoping to get things done. So no dancing yet. Pray for me. Universe, please conspire and help me. I beg of you. Too much time has been wasted and... Well, I didn't even notice, and I would not be able to notice as long as I'm in limbo a.k.a. float mode. Seriously, I need to move on from this. This is my last chance.

Anyway Tin, Dawi, and Mauro kinda had to coerce me into doing it cos, you know, I'm a weak kind of person when it comes to responsibility. (But hey, don't think I'm that irresponsible.) I was thinking of all the negative what-ifs, and I didn't know how to do it. So they were basically like "come on go for it, she loves advisees, that's basically her status -- 'I love getting new advisees'," and all that nonsense. Now I'm glad that's done cos I know deep in my heart I needed it. Um, yeah.

Here It Goes Again

I'm still a bit unsettled on the idea of blogging. I know I love to write cos I find it effective for compiling my thoughts, and because... I dunno, my brain's very busy. But if I were to blog publicly, I would have to accept the fact that I am letting just about anyone in. I wouldn't want that since people have a tendency to assume they know you just because they know but a piece of your mind.

Anyhow, I still find it pretty useful, and would love it if my friends blogged. Sadly, it's not a thing to everyone.

"There’s something sacred about reading a blog post on someone else’s site. It’s like visiting a friend’s house for a quick meal ’round the breakfast table. It’s personal — you’re in their space, and the environment is uniquely suited for idea exchange and uninterrupted conversation. In many ways, we should be treating our blogs like our breakfast tables. Be welcoming & gracious when you host, and kind & respectful when visiting."

“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.”

Felt Dead

Suddenly got back to coding since our game requirement. But then it didn’t last long. Now I remember why I hated it. “Coding is a way of life,” you say. More like a dead way of life.

I feel like I’m wasting my time coding on/for machines. Like, even if I get it done, it doesn’t feel like an achievement. It really only gets to me after having spent “too long” working on something.
