If we don't kill ourselves, we'll be the leaders of a messed up generation If we don't kid ourselves, would they believe us if we told them the reason why? Do we take it too far, take it too far? Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland?
A BIG thank you to Naked Reality at Naked Reality for telling me about this song.
I heard T-Pain's 5 O'clock in the morning this afternoon, and I was addicted to this song.
Yes, I made it. Looks a bit funny, the left one does. But I hope you like it ^.^
Cause I keep checking my cell phone And these missed calls You texting me like Imma kill ya'll.
I didn't post yesterday because there was just too much going on. But I'm happy.. I think.
It's almost November! Which means birthdays. And Eragon/Inheritance Part Four.
My imagination sees you like a painting by Van Gogh.
I loved you from the start. In every single way, and more each passing day. You are brighter than the stars. Believe me when I say.. It's not about your heart. It's all about your scars.
Here's a shout out to two bloggers who said something to/about The One Who Leaves Me Breathless..and me.
I didn't post yesterday, I know. I had a really bad migraine.
But I met up with two friends and we had a lot of fun. Fun like I haven't had since.. April. It was a good thing that none of my students saw me. They'd wonder how mature we were, messing around and throwing water and going into the dodgem cars area.
And later, in the evening, when I had just woken up and was in the kitchen getting water, the 'Manzoor hai' yell came again. I was really tempted to yell back, but I had a migraine then.
[Manzoor is a name. 'Manzoor hai' means 'Is Manzoor there?' and it also means 'Do you accept.' So you can see why it's so funny when this guy yells that at least once a week.]
So that was mostly what I did yesterday.
This morning, I woke up to the sound of people yelling outside the house. Now I just had a dream that people were fighting outside my house while we were getting ready to go somewhere, so I got up and found out that it was a donkey race in the alley outside the apartment complex.
Yes, laugh. :P
And this is the sound clip of me playing Kiss the rain/Bella's lullaby for the third and fourth times. The fourth time is worth the wait, trust me.
And this is me playing 'Happy Birthday' and then part of 'Jingle Bells'
Apart from all that, I got a B in American Government (Yay, I guess.). The One Who Leaves Me Breathless said that I should be thankful for a B. It was a hard class and a fast track one, but I wanted an A. You can't have everything, I guess. So I'm happy.
It's got to be the crunkest It's got to be the loudest It's got to be the best love song she ever heard in her life,
I made these to surprise The One Who Leaves Me Breathless.
No need for me to write it, I just gotta picture her smiling.
I found these pictures.. taken from when I was in a picture taking mood.
It's rare for me to want to take pictures, like a lot of pictures. It started when I was in sixth grade. My class went on a field trip to Lahore. My parents gave me a camera (we didn't have decent digital ones back then). So I spent most of my money on camera rolls.. and when we developed the pictures, out of eleven hundred pictures, five had people in them. The rest had scenery.. of the museums. The sights along the way. The Lahore Fort.
I take amazing pictures of scenery, yes. It made my dad mad enough to take out his digital camera and teach me how I should take pictures.
These are three out of eight of my first students. I taught them English as a Second Language. Bit old to be my students, but they learnt a lot. :)
These are two turtles at the Dallas Forth Worth aquarium.
If I could just see you Everything would be alright If I'd see you This darkness would turn to light.
I love Faithfully. I know I've heard it sometime before, but Boyce Avenue's cover is stuck in my head.
Sometimes, I just feel like driving. But my mom decided that she would drive today. Oh well.
So I poured water all over the staff room table today. I was pouring water into a glass-and I was standing near the door-and I looked up to see The One Who Leaves Me Breathless.
Don't laugh yet, okay?
It's rare for my mind to go blank. I can usually control my thoughts better. But it went blank this time, and I was just staring. I ended up pouring water away from the glass and not realizing it until it dripped onto the floor.
Yes, I had to hurry up and clean it up.
That's one of the three interesting things that happened today.
The second one was when I turned my laptop on in the staff room and played Sean Paul's She Doesn't Mind after plugging in my earphones.
Now everyone knows that there are two ports, one for the mike, and one for the earphones.
I usually double check that I plug them into the right place. This was, by the way, two minutes after the above incident.
I plugged them in, and I'm listening to the song happily, before I realized that the sound was coming from the laptop and not from the earphones. Yes, I had plugged them into the mike port. And that song isn't the best one to play in a staff room.
You can imagine what happened next.
The third interesting thing was what some children in my mom's class wrote.
The topic was 'donations.' They had just donated some stuff for The Flood Relief effort.
Here's the best one. "I donated my teacher."
The other topic was 'energy conservation' and how conserving means to save.
"I conserved Hasan today when he was falling."
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns to make us smile.
I think that's pretty much all I have to say for today. Oh, wait! I made something for you. Just for you.
I was going to give it to you, but you were busy.. And I hate interrupting. So, here. Hope you like it :o
I hate the quality of my pictures. These are the best out of five images.
Online classes since May. Just two weeks off in May. And now back to classes.
I need a vacation. A long vacation.
^That should give you an idea of how much I'm expected to study.
I can't read a book on my laptop all day. Or study along with reading.
Makes me wish August was here already. I get two weeks off from Uni in August :)
And I can't play on the Nintendo Wii for more than half an hour in a day. Get a huge headache.
In fact, I've been getting a migraine every single day.
Think I need my apple diet back. I can actually survive for days on having apples for breakfast and lunch. Seriously.
Until I get apples, I'm going to have to live without junk food.. and teach my mom and aunt all the abbreviations. Like LOL. and ROFL (rolling on the floor with laughter). And PWOMS (parent watching over my shoulder).
It was funny how they didn't know any of those.
You're probably wondering what the title of my post has to do with any of this.
Do you really want to know?
Really?
Okay. Remember how I applied to Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, Upenn, and Santa Clara?
Santa Clara was the only one that said yes.
Taught me a lesson, that did.
Aim high, but don't be surprised if you don't get everything.
But then, you can't get everything you want in this life.
