words of wisdom... jotted down by others...

"Real life is about reacting quickly to the opportunity at hand, not the opportunity you envisioned. Not thinking and scheming for the future, but letting it happen." - Conan O'Brien (comedian)

"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future." - Lewis B Smedes (professor of theology and ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary)

"The quest for truth must be carried out by each person individually. It is life breathing, something which no one else can do for us." - Seyyed Hossein Nasr (philosopher, writer, and professor at GWU)

"Giving back involves a certain amount of giving up." - Colin Powell

"Peace that demands unreal conditions is a deception. There is no life wihtout work, anxieties or tensions. Peace is not found in avoiding these but in understanding them and controlling their force." - Sister Wendy Beckett (catholic nun)

"word." - newt (me)

this update is personally for jiheon aka jime kay....
sounds fruity but he asked for it... so here it is...

today i realized that im a horrible bowler because when comparing my average score to those of my friends who bowled today, i was a good 10 pts below some of the lowest scores.... i avg around 90 max...

oh well...

listening to tasha right now... she's the ish... ive prob said this b4
... bah im too lazy to type the lyrics... but she can get deep sometimes...
if u can. listen to 'memories (smiling tears)'...

lena park definately has the most beautiful voices ever.

this was mostly a stream of randomness... oh well ...

have you ever wondered if you passed by some stranger today, whom you may meet in the future but never knew it was the same person...
or maybe you drove by some1 who you are meant to meet some day, or maybe even today, but just didnt...
the whole concept of it being a small word can be scary... what if you sat next to some1 on the metro... whom you are going to marry some day... mind boggling isnt it?

every person has their distractions... whether you indulge in it or banish it is up to you. learn to love those around you, as well as those around the people around you. think, before you speak as well as before you act. becareful not to LET yourself be hurt, because sometimes we grasp the pain because its the only thing familiar to us. can you admit your mistakes? good, but can you change?... learn to have faith and trust in humanity, and help those who let you down. it's hard... but where else would you go without ever knowing the way?
