ROCs Day Two Reflections

ROCs Day Two ReflectionsKena stuck for FIVE hours. I mean, like, asterisks. But I think I kinda had a 'bochap' attitude until we were in the taxi and then I got honestly pissed off at the terrain. What's the use of quicksand-esque terrain? But aside from that, we had a great time today with the children at Weihei (WH). They're responsive, adorable and really initiative. (I should learn!) And they had many things on walls, like moral values and all. Shouldn't we have that, to remind us? Of how to 做人?Coach said many Singaporeans lack empathy. Someone told me I was an iceblock. But hey, I think we should always think about how others feel, first, instead of thinking about how we feel. If we think of others first, then we would care for them, and maybe the most frozen of iceblocks will melt and feel, care and love... Ever realize that if we don't care, we don't love and share? then we just become selfish, apathetic people. Maybe today's two 'bus stuck in mud; 'adventures' were put there to help us, I don't know how> But we got to see carnations and nurseries, though I don't like plants. Maybe there is good in everything, we just have to see it. Be like the children, content and happy. Peace! ROCs Reflections Day One

ROCs Reflections Day OneDay One: Stone Forest and Walmart. I think, that it was mainly uneventful, but I'm glad I had food on the plane. I mean, what are the chances of meals not having meat? But anyway, I kind of realized one thing about China: it has A LOT of land, but it takes a really long time to travel. So far it's not too bad, because it's all in the relative comfort of the bus, but I wonder how the locals travel. But the large amount of land means they have a lot more scenic spots. If we had a Stone Forest, half of it would be replaced by HDBs and the other half by private housing. -.- ie, no scenic view. T_T Being land starved is good and bad, I guess.

Off to Yunnan tomorrow. Yet I'm not done packing, or ironing, or getting toiletries, or finding a comb, or whatever miscellaneous things that need to be done.And I'm still typing here as if there's no tomorrow. Hah! And yet I'm excited to go. I haven't been excited for quite some time, so I think this is fairly new. Anyway, we'll be going with a rather interesting teacher. Ms Su. She'll be fun to observe, and I'm the one without any clique/groupie to hang with during the trip since En left and Clarice ain't quite endeared to me, so I'll mostly be 'sucking up' to her then. Man, finally a chance to watch her eat. I've never seen ANY of my teachers eat anything at all. Before. A chance to observe teachers (her and Mr Ling) interact socially. Hah, time to see how good they are at speaking Chinese! XD I swear I will not try to act as translator this time. Let them all try to communicate with the locals themselves in broken Chinese. But I hope I can understand the accent. OTL And there's still Merm's Smut Writing Competition to write for. So I'll take along an exercise book and pray hard no one sees it. I haven't even decided what to write anyway. Should get back to ironing. :D Stress reliever, really. Someday by Rob Thomas

You can goYou can start all over again You can try to find a way to make another day go by You can hide Hold all your feelings inside You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry [Chorus:] And maybe someday We'll figure all this out Try to put an end to all our doubt Try to find a way to make things better now and Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud We'll be better off somehow Someday Now wait And try to find another mistake If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind You can run, oh And when everything is over and done You can shine a little light on everything around you Man it's good to be someone [Chorus] And I don't want to wait I just want to know I just want to hear you tell me so Give it to me straight Tell it to me slow Cause maybe someday We'll figure all this out We'll put an end to all our doubt Try to find a way to just feel better now and Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud We'll be better off somehow Someday [x2] Cause sometimes we don't really notice Just how good it can get So maybe we should start all over Start all over again Friday, November 5, 2010, 23:09
I'm reading A Promise to Be Better on ff.net.http://www.fanfiction.net/s/436569/1/A_Promise_to_Be_Better I should be reading Merm's two recommendations. Because she's organizing a smut writing competition and invited me to write. And she gave me examples of good and bad M-rated fics. I should read it to get a feel of it. Because honestly though I read a lot of M-rated things I still don't know how to write them. But this fic is really beautiful. In the heart string pulling kinda way. Heart strings are actually called chordae tendinae, but I'll keep away the bio for now. It's a fic about Severus Snape and how Dumbledore and a healer called Barnes act as counselors and stuff for him and help him get over...things. I guess it's touching and heart string pulling (man, since when did I use all these words) because it's like, a story about someone being given hope and comfort. Hope and comfort. What every single human being needs. And I can think of some people who need extra, along with some reassurance. Just remember: What you see may not be what you get. :) |

Monologue
I believe that every human is inherently good. Therefore every human should be treated equally. I will henceforth try to treat everyone without bias. Everyone should be free to believe in what they want. If feelings rule our emotions, then why let hate do so? I think that all the chaos in our world results from All the unresolved tension, mistrust and hate we store. I think love is the solution. So don't tell me that you think love is wrong. As long as it's well meaning, and doesn't harm I advocate it. So for that reason I think gay love is right too. I think another source of hate Is misunderstandings and stereotypes. I find it hard to see past people's appearances sometimes. But it doesn't mean that I don't try. I think that if we let go of all All, of our past misconceptions and labels We could finally try to live together, All as members of one human race. Doorways Without Doors
