Thursday, April 27, 2006 strive>This does it.
I'm formally avoiding fanfiction.
Yepz, you've heard it. I'm no longer going to read any more fanfiction.
It's not gonna be easy, but it is vital to my survival. Especially if i do not want my English to plummet down even further to the depths of hopeless horrendous and utterly atrocious.
My spelling was never good to begin with, but fanfiction really makes it look like the cherry on the cake, the tip of the iceberg. Seriously, i mustn't do this anymore. Unless i wish to be a laughing stock who cannot even spell or differentiate *you're and *your.
So i'm staying off fanfiction. Of course, writing them is a different matter entirely, since it will allow me to hopefully, forget the mistakes i've read and go back onto the path of good English and Spelling.
It's a really really sad thing that good fanfiction is so hard to find. Granted, they're not easy to write. I mean, look at it...you've gotta have good language, grammer, storyline, and characterization.
And much as i would adore to read those great pieces of literature, i simply cannot risk jeopardising my command of English any longer. Thus, my mind is rather made up.
Forsake Fanfiction for Good English.
Nice slogan ne?
I mean, just look at this entry! I won't even be surprised if there are spelling errors here already, which would be a really sad and embarrassing thing. My english used to be so much better back in secondary school. At that time, i get to pen down so much of my inspiration and the writings actually come out decent!
Now, even though i have time, i lack inspiration...which is by the way, is a very very sad thing. So what can i do? Huh? Writing without inspiration never did churn out decent pieces of writing, or at least, it applies to me. So yeah.
I'm rather stuck. And i really really need to improve my English. I mean, i despair at the state it is in right now! Maybe i should go read the dictionary. It may help...though i'd probably give up even before i get to B.
By the way, i've attempted to read the dictionary twice. So far, i haven't got past A yet.
Pitiful, isn't it?
Wednesday, April 26, 2006 Crying over Split Milk>Very cliche title, i know, but then again, who ever said cliches weren't true ne?
There is no point crying over split milk; after all, life is too short for all that moping after all. Of course, that is just my personal point of view.
Take my A's for example - i didn't exactly do very well. Got an A for Math and Bs for my triple sciences, a B4 for GP, B3 for Chinese and a band 2 for Project Work. Sad, yeah i know. But after all, i made my choices as to how to spend my time, and i don't regret them. The fact that my Bio was graced with a B grade probably had to do with my brain freezing at the wrong time or something. And Chem, i guess my Skill C spa was rather disappointing in itself. But at that time, i knew i did try my best, so i guess, there isn't any point trying to butcher myself over it. Though i guess, if i wasn't so adverse to Chem in the first place, maybe i would have scored better.
Point is - Like what you take. After all, and here i quote Irvine from Final Fantasy 8, it's not like i drifted here on the tides of fate. I made my choices, and i like them and will stick to them. And at that time, i know i made the right choice! Or the best choice!
And that is why for Business, i will love it. I love it! And no, i'm not trying to psycho myself into liking it, i do! I want to learn about management and human resource and i can't get to do that in Accountancy! I want to mingle around with people, not stare off into space with numbers and figures flying in over my head. I especially do not want figures chasing me around in my sleep. That would be an utter nightmare. And screw the fact that it isn't a specialized degree - that's the reason i chose it! Because it's general, and will take me anywhere. I don't want to decide on such specializations so early on in life simply because i am not ready to do so. hell, i don't even know what i want to do.
What i do know however, is that business will take me anywhere! And i will get to meet people and feel powerful and stuff, instead of stressing over money matters and counting them in minute detail every second of the day. Remember Jill! This is exactly why you're taking business.
Whoever tells you that your results are wasted on this are simply narrow-minded! Like come off it! It's a blessing to even get a place at the university with your kind of screwed up grades! So don't regret your choice! Ever. There are chances to turn back and appeal, but you are not going to do so simply because your mind is made up and you have made the right choice! Yes!
Okay, so i've just re-read the whole thing and i just realized that i was talking to myself. So yeah. Kinda weird, i know. But anyhow, that's how weird i am!
So i won't cry over split milk, and i won't look back.
On a lighter note, Gakuen Alice is a really good anime to catch! After all, Hyuuga Natsume just happens to be the cutest and most dangerous guy in the whole wide world! He is so cute! Gosh! I am so totally in love. Hahaz.
Recently, i went out with a fellow NPCC camp-mate that i haven't talk to in ages and haven't seen in years! Okay, so maybe i'm just exaggerating just a lil' bit, but anyway, he called me a fangirl.
Am i really a fangirl?
Hm...
Maybe. After all, i do make those squeals and people (or rather, just one - my sis) often tell me to shut up.
So maybe i am one.
Hahaz.
So in summary of this entire entry - I'm an aspiring businesswoman who just happens to be a fangirl and goes by the alias iced_blade.
Gosh! This is spastic.
Friday, April 21, 2006 Blessed>I have thought about this before but...
It sorta just registered in my brain how very blessed i am.
I mean, i know that the world is in chaos right now as compared to the little glass globe i've been living in...and i know that there are people who are having it rough, just like there are people whose lives are one smooth ride.
But it's only today that i realised how very blessed i am.
I mean, i know i lead a sheltered life. It doesn't exactly take an idiot to figure that out, and i know that the only problems i have at hand can only be solved by me and that the things that can't be solved are so out of my league i don't even bother to try salvaging.
And by sheltered, i don't mean naive. I know what's happening around the world and that life isn't just a bed of roses. There are worse things out there - things i don't wanna know about and don't wanna see.
For example, the natural disasters around the world, terrorism or even the little things such as the existence of old folk's homes. I know what's out there. I know it's bad. And i know how very blessed to be where i am, in my room typing away on this text box for my blog.
However, it is only now that it clicked into place in my brain.
I feel humbled and rather solemn.
And i thank God that i'm so blessed...and i can do nothing more than feel grateful and know how blessed i am, and maybe alleviate some of other's pain.
Blessed. # posted by blade | 11:48 AM

Stupid, helpless people who think they're so smart. Argh, i can go on and on. But then again, what's the point in doing so right? Their insignificance isn't even worth mentioning here.
