New poem! Lately I feel like I haven't been giving myself a lot of creative time. But then again, I give myself plenty of time to procrastinate, so I don't know what I'm complaining about. Get yourself together, girl! Anyway, I hope you enjoy my sporadic updating. Hopefully, I'll get some consistency going... eventually... 01.28.12 Felt like writing something today. That's all. 01.13.12 Can you believe it's already been almost two weeks since the New Year's started? It's amazing how fleeting time seems. I became so consumed with all the activities of the New Year - classes, deadlines, applications, volunteer, dinners - that I almost forgot my promise to myself that I'd take some time, at least once a week, to take a step back and reflect upon the going-ons of my life. This website and blogging nest was supposed to help me with that balance. I don't want to make this a chore, because I really do enjoy all my writings, ponderings, and creative moments I put on this website. However, I might make my schedule a bit easier on me, and update once a week with small bits of things I like: a poem I wrote on the bus, or a photo I took of the sunrise, or a catchy song I just heard on the radio. After all, it is the small moments that make up one life. :) 01.01.12 HAPPY NEW YEAR! With the beginning of a new year, there is a sense of being refreshed and rejuvenated. We are cleansed, if only temporarily, of our past lives and begin anew. We dream again, and hope again. 2012 will be the year for reflection as well as revelations. One of my New Year resolutions is to maintain this website by updating at least twice a month with new posts, quotes, and photos. I've got the photo gallery started with pictures from Oslo, Norway! This is going to be a year full of ups and downs - I know now from experience. But this will also be a year of adventure and ambition. We are only young once, so let us do more and be more than we believe we are capable of while we still think we can. Have a great year everyone! 23.11.11 Some photos uploaded, mostly pictures taken in Norway. All blogs should be up and running, although content is sparse at this point. My new foodie blog has my family's Chinese dumpling recipe, which is a must try! This is the kind of food I grew up with. :) Most importantly would be my bucket list, which is fully functioning and open to comments and suggestions! Cheers! 20.11.11 This online portfolio is something of an experiment. There is some joy in the finding of an outlet to compile your ideas, achievements, and memories. Unless the internet should die one day, I hope this small bit of virtual space can house the evidence for the existence of a rather quiet but thoughtful individual, who wanted nothing more than to acknowledge the importance of living every second of her life to the best of her abilities. | Quote of the Week
