Was reading my dear pi's column in seventeen mag (okay i know im supposed to be studying,but wateva;)), and i find that i really agree with many of the things which he said. *loves*
"Words are really powerful, so I try to use them carefully. People who say things like, "I hope so-and-so dies!" makes me sad. I try not to make jokes like that.......... ......... It might slip out during a fighting game or something... but outside of those circumstances, I don't ever say it. For some people, it's almost like a catchphrase. Honestly, just hearing it makes me uneasy, so I don't think it's a very good habit."
I totally agree. Sometimes we may say mean things which we don't really mean, but we don't realise how our words can have an impact on how other people feel. and such words can spoil relationships between people, even when u think it's nothing. i know sometimes we have ppl whom we don't like and sometimes feel like str@#$ling or k!@ling, but however much you may not like someone, i don't think we shld curse them or anything, cuz that just makes us spiteful and vengeful human beings, and I don't wanna be like that. Instead of dwelling on such people and their hateful acts, its makes us much happier to think of God's love for us and all the other good friends and family we have, which we tend to forget and take them for granted sometimes. :)
"Words are something that only humans have. Thus, I think it's important to use words to communicate and to understand the people who are closest to you. That's why we have words. If you think about it another way, animals must be able to understand one another even without speaking. They might have some other form of communication, like physical contact. Even my dog can detect my feelings just by observing my expressions..."
Yea sometimes we just assume that people know what we are thinking abt and how we feel without us saying it. and when they dont, we get frustrated with them, and maybe even feel disappointed with them. but arent we just being selfish, for expecting them to understand our every whim and fancy? Instead of keeping everything to urself and making ppl guess ur thoughts, isnt it much easier to express ur thoughts and feelings so people know? Everything's much easier that way.:)
"In terms of language, wouldn't it be cool to speak English? While learning from my friends who can speak it, I'm studying on my own. If there's something I don't know, I can just ask. It's pretty handy. If I keep working at it little by little, I think I can pick it up. There's a difference between memorization and comprehension, though. During my school years, I memorized English for tests, but I would forget everything after that. Right now, I'm studying for the goal of absorbing the material and making it my own. Before, even when I was shopping overseas, I couldn't really understand the people I was trying to talk to and vice versa, but now I can probably at least go shopping."
Hahaha yes pi learning english on top of chinese! woots! i loved his eng accent in kurosagi hee! and im wondering if "his friends" include jin? honestly i don't think jin's engrish is that good and what more all the raves over his engrish. maaa i guess its still considered good if u compare it with the other nihonjins, esp johnnys. Pi ganbare! im sure u can be better than jin, someday! haaa someday >< but anw, i can totally understand what pi means abt the diff btwn memorization and comprehension. like now if u ask me to recall my spanish and french(f*** french!), errr im sorry i totally cant rmb anything except random vocab words and como te llamas! hahaha. anw im starting to worry abit and regret abit abt not gg for the italian lang course in bocconi. heard italians's angrish is really CHUI! oh no >< grace im just gg to stick with you and let u be my translator! ^^
"I don't pay too much attention to things like the day you start going out. A wedding anniversary would be a different case, but if you're together because you like each other... who knows exactly when you started to like someone? Are there really people who go, "Ahh! Today I started liking you"? recently, I've started to wonder if I will ever meet someone whom I can like that much....... Anyway, while I'm saying things like that, I might run into someone who will become very precious to me!"
This goes out to linghui dear! don't ever lose faith in love, cos sometimes it just comes when u least expected it. and maybe u've alr started to like someone without u realising it urself! God has His ways and everything planned out for us:)
Okay crap i've not touched any of my stuff today! Gotta go chiong now >< *yawns*
