Before you think I broke the hiatus thing again. This is a scheduled post =P.

Haha.

For those of you out there who love to write. Or want to try your hand at writing. Here's something that will surely pose a challenge.

National Novel Writing Month a.k.a NaNoWriMo.

Basically all you have to do is sign up. And for the whole month of November you write. Yes there is a goal for you to achieve. 50,000 words by 30th November 2009. 30 days to complete a 50,000 word novel.

It can be about anything and everything.

*CLICK HERE* for more info. =)

Yup, I'm gonna attempt it. Leave a comment if you're participating too. And maybe after that we can swap novels. Maybe.

*CLICK HERE* for a really well made video.

Yes yes it's about a wedding. But it's soooooo sweet. =)

I love the end when the groom gives his speech.

"You(bride) said I was only after one thing."

"And you were right."

"I was after your heart."

what's worth.

Optimist or pessimist?

Sounds like a stupid question no?

After all, I highly doubt suicidal people are optimistic. So clearly on that point being optimistic would be better since dying is perceived by most people as being not good.

But yet, wouldn't it be better to not be disappointed with life so often?

Situation: Someone applies to two different universities, one is really prestigious and the other is not bad but definitely not as good as the prestigious university.

Optimistic approach ~ "There's a chance that I'll get into the prestigious uni!!"

Pessimistic approach ~ "Oh well, I'm just trying my luck since I'm not good enough."

Result A: Person gets accepted in the prestigious uni.

Optimistic reply ~ "WOOHOO!! I knew I could do it!!"

Pessimistic approach ~ "Wow, they actually want me??"

Result B: Person does not get accepted into prestigious uni.

Optimistic reply ~ "Oh no, WHY?? Well, at least I can still go to uni."

Pessimistic reply ~ "I knew it."

Maybe it's just me. But I'd prefer to be pessimistic. After all, it'll be easier to be pleasantly surprised. Haha.

P.S Every time I think about this question I remember Trixie's presentation in English class and how being optimistic will lead to a person dying cause the bridge collapsed. Remember that Trixie???

quarantine.

Call in the airstrike, tell them to make the drop

and now she ate a cycle no-one but you can stop

Would it be fair to say that you're in love with love?

And is that enough?

I bet you feel really potent stuff

the shadows of doubt on how things turn out

are typically gray

But even the stucco on the wall

is right two times a day

and it's still enough

Just how much distance means we're on our own?

and can we be happy,

happy alone?

The universe opens up the door

and we go right in, it's there, it's new, it's cool

it's something we ain't seen before

And five minutes in

an egg timer rings

to clip off our carefree flapping wings

show us the things we can't afford

and throw us overboard

but it's still enough.

Just how much distance means we're on our own?

until i see you off at home

down the sidewalk in my head

I might be sinking like a stone

but perfectly happy

just openly happy

In my home, I've always known

I gotta be happy alone

so burn the mail, destroy the phone

yeah, I'd wanna be happy alone

the moving sky, the rocks below

All so perfectly happy alone

Our little hearts have turned to stone

I'd better be happy...

Ba da da...

Happy Alone by Earlimart.

phantom.

As a person grows older, they also grow more tired faster.

While most people say it's due to physical causes such as muscles and joints slowly wearing out. Cells and bones don't grow back as fast as they used to. Blah blah blah.

Wanna hear my reason?

People get tired more easily mentally and emotionally which then affects them physically.

The older you get, the higher the total count for lies you've told. Incidences that you've had to brush or smooth away in order to keep the peace. More times that you'll have to put up a brave face when inside something's breaking.

And in the end, all the pretending sucks the energy out of you. It takes so much effort to put on the mask every morning to face the world. The world that tells you every thing's gonna be alright. "Every thing will be okay in the end. If it isn't okay, it isn't the end" But ultimately, you keep up with the masquerade. You think "Hey, it's already been 30 years. What's another 30?"

So it never ends, everyone wears a mask.

What do I have to say about this?

No, I'm not gonna say that we all should learn to throw away our masks. Cause honestly, the mask always gives off a better appearance, it gives people comfort seeing as they can control what mask people see them wear but they can't change the person that lies behind the mask. However, I do say that in life, look for those few that you can put your mask down with. Then maybe, just maybe, growing old won't be as tiring as it's suppose to be.

Exams are coming soon but I can't say I regret having spent the last 2 and a half hours watching a movie.

Shawshank Redemption.

Hands down one of the BEST movies I have ever watched.

It's even rated No. 1 on IMDB's Top 250 list.

If it could beat movies like The Godfather, The Dark Knight, Psycho, Fight Club and LOTR (just to name a few). I knew it had to be good.

The script was good. Plot excellent. Characters fantastic. Not to mention that it was so realistic. There was no sudden miracle that made it a happy story, everything in it made perfect sense. It showed the true nature of men. The fear that mankind face, the greed that ultimately destroys them. And most of all, how hope never dies.

I insist everyone watch the movie.
