My Valentine's Day/ weekend was spent on the ski slopes at Blue Mountain with some friends...lots of fun but nothing romantic. And now I've plenty of blue-blacks, bruises, a couple of cuts and a grazed lower back from falling so much haha. But it was good. Just that these battle scars do not look aesthetic at all, boohoohoo :-( I just checked. I ( Read more... )

I just read my classmate's post on my writing seminar's class blog.. I think I can understand what he feels, because someone I really loved passed away several years back, and I went through a similar phase as what he's going through now. She was my favorite aunt, my godmother. She never married, so she treated me like her own daughter. I was 14 ( Read more... )

Haha I've not slept earlier than 2AM for the past week.. But I blame it on my procrastination and tendency to amuse myself with Facebook rather than be productively occupied with work.

The grading system here at Penn (in particular, at Wharton. Though i'm just a happy College kid, not one of them Whartonites) simply does not make sense. In fact it goes against the principles of excellence.

Broken promises and empty promises; what's the difference? They're both the same. They lead you up, higher and higher, towards the clouds. And just when you reach the top, you realize you're stepping on nothing solid, and you fall, fall, and fall. Out of the heights of illusion and into the depths of..reality.
