A quote from Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a book I never tire of.

On ne connaît que les choses que l’on apprivoise, dit le renard. Les hommes n’ont plus le temps de rien connaître. Il achètent des choses toutes faites chez les marchands. Mais comme il n’existe point de marchands d’amis, les hommes n’ont plus d’amis. Si tu veux un ami ( Read more... )

The weeks are flying by, and I'm still lost in a mental haze. Taking things a day at a time has its upsides though, every day feels distinct, I could clearly pick them out from a mixture of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and yet still tell you what I did on that day and what I had for breakfast that morning. Spent a good chunk ( Read more... )

School's been insane and it's only the third week. Things are still manageable now, keeping up with weekly tutorials, practical reports and attending lectures - but soon when assignment deadlines start creeping up on you, suddenly your grasp of time isn't as firm anymore.

The Film paper today was okay although I wish I could have been better prepared for the question on Baudillard's Simulacra. We had to write two out of four possible essays, and the fact that our lecturer kind of narrowed down the number of plays/film we had to focus on to a select 6 instead of 11 helped (but not as much as I hoped). I'm really my ( Read more... )

The power of prayer - is rudimentally under-rated. Just like how we keep saying that we've lost all faith and hope, when we really haven't because we keep seeking it from the deepest crevices of our hearts. It's there, you just have to believe.

I figured that it is time that I start to write again. Though entries aren't going to be as regular nor as photo-laden as before, I reckon it's good that I start now instead of letting this journal lay idle. My time away had made me realize certain things.

1. that my head feels heavier not having some place to pour out my thoughts

2. that my life is ( Read more... )
