我有点累。

What kind of life are you living in JINNIGAN!
Bread grew mold, tuna mayo turning sour (maybe not yet?)..
(Took out those pieces w/o mold and finished up the tuna mayo spread :/ )

Mind is so occupied, one mistakes leads to another.

Only when I listed the never-ending to-do-list that I realized I had SO MUCH in mind.
It's no wonder you're constantly thinking of what to do next!
It's no wonder you ended up so tired at night, trying to recall what have you done today that made you feel so tired.

Have I been too optimistic about too many things that god started to think it's time to throw some challenges to me? Lol. Sighs. Just more things to fix. Gotta break this chain.

I need to start tidying up things! Tidy up myself! A change is needed jinnigan, change is what you need.

*yawns* so tired...

Dear God, I love this job! :D

HAHA. Thank you God (whoever you are) for such blessings! For some reason, you never fail to assign someone who feels lost or down to me from time to time. And I hafta say, I'm loving this counsellor/motivator role I'm doing all these while!

I LOVE INSPIRING PEOPLE. The satisfactions and what I gain out of all these conversations are so much more than what you would expect. Fact is, it always goes both ways! You might think you're encouraging someone else but you'll realize that at the end of the day, you'll learn sth through those conversations. And you'll end up feeling encouraged as well! It's a guaranteed win-win situation, ya know what I'm sayin' ;)


What I hafta say for today is this,

"Life for me thus far, had never went according to ANY of my plans. Somehow or other, I am glad it happened that way because looking back, I don't think I was prepared to face what I thought I would be able to handle, naively. Today, I am who I am, all thanks to "things-happened-not-according-to-how-I-wanted-it-to-be". Polished and groomed to be a better person in all ways I can imagined of and still striving to seek more revelations."

And today, I've got recognition for my efforts and I proved myself right.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

It's such a small achievement and nothing to boast about but it is the start of many more to come! So really, it gives me great pleasure to be able to say this to myself,

I am so proud of you GAN JIN NI!

for all the things you've done and how far you've come. :)

I shall heed my calling.

For some reason, every morning I'll wake up with some distractions.

Yesterday I was reading up on Karen Mok.. and today I'm reading up on Grace Sai!

I'm starting to pick up signs and I'm starting to think it's my calling. I really don't have to worry about it because I have faith that I'll make things work. Despite all the doubts, yes. And I won't give up, NO!

That's mah girlllllll. Whoopiessss! :D You go girl! More ass-kicking to do, be ready for it! :)

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! " - Rocky Balboa

You should be proud of yourself Jinnigan!!

HAHA, no doubt it's one epic embarrassing moment. But hey, you didn't run or hide or think about not going back there anymore. That's really sth to be proud of, don't ya think?

A friend of mine said, OMG don't go back to that class anymore!!!
Well, that really didn't occur to me at all. I mean, I didn't do anything wrong, it's just how my body works and plain human nature. Why should I feel bad about it?


I'm like, no no no no.. I'm not gonna hide or run. I'll just pretend I was a clown for a while and brighten everyone else's day! I just made a good deed! ;)

(although.. if only they know the true story :x Ahem.)

Ahhh, Jinnigan you did fineeee. Don't worry about it :D
Not at all, not at all.

(On a separate account)
Somehow, there's this great feeling in me again. I still have faith that I'm going to do something really great. LIKE KABOOM AND KABAAM! tralalalala. ;p

Keep walking

Life has been good so far. I've been feeling like blogging more maybe because there's this feeling in me which I wouldn't know how to describe to other people.

It's like some sort of serenity (or emptiness?), like no pain, just vast ocean with calm waves as if ready to embrace greater things that's about to come.

At the same time, my mind is asking so many questions, "When? Why hasn't it come? Will I be able to..?"
All I know is that I hafta keep going. There's just so much to do and at any point I stop doing anything, I feel like time is wasted. A lot of time had already been wasted..

Sigh, will I be able to make it?

My heart says yes but my mind doubts it.
At days like these, it's a constant battle between the heart and mind. But that keep me going.

Another Inspirational Day :)

I love days like these where I can wake up in the morning, listening to news, inspirational stories whether on Umano, Newsy, CNN or Flipboard (thanks to technology ;) at my own luxury (of time).

and then I think of schedule for the day. As much as I want to keep up with my schedule everyday, there're always occasionally lil things that pop up from time to time.
People you bump into... Friends calling you for help...
Things that make you take some moments off your tight schedule while you're busy chasing time.

But it always feels good, like some sort of little achievements, whether it is helping your friend to find directions or really simple things like bumping into nice friends you haven't seen in a while, getting updates.
Lil things that make me happy. And all these things always accumulate in me which makes me feel like I'm bound to do sth great; there's this positive energy in me which can no longer be contained, just wanting to come out and outburst and outshine the darkness.

That's a typical day in Jinni's everyday life. :)

********************************************************
Haha, anyways! 2 inspiring things I found today:
1. Why you should travel young
2. Google Science Fair (Why am I not 13-18!!!! (or) Why not open for all ages!? ):

And what really hit me was
how I should really let my passion lead me more and stop trying to craft this ideal  career path that fits the 'global image' which obscure that out-bursting energy in me.
It's been inside me for so long but I kept suppressing it in order to fit the world, the people around me.

Suddenly it became obvious that
I should be less uptight and let it flow. Just like those passionate kids.

Suddenly I get this feeling that
if you can just get honest with yourself on your passion, sth great will come.
