In between the days
Sometimes you need a change
Give your tears a treat
I want to make your heart beat

I miss my world somebody kill me
I miss my world somebody thrill me

Just draw just draw your dream
A place you can project your day dreams

I want to do something
That takes my breath away
And makes me not want to go home
At the end of the day

Truth soaks sadly in song
While you get to swim in my palm

Made in Heaven live your style
What are you waiting for
You don't need to make others change their view
For you to make a decision

I want to do something
That takes my breath away
And makes me not want to go home
At the end of the day

In between the days

Missing him...

"Opportunity"

And so it goes another lonely day
Your savin time but your miles away
Your fly was drownin in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity

Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent you always hide
Don't go kidd yourself well not today
Satisfaction's not to far away

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see

Your coffee's warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but your here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity

Don't be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

...I really, really <3 him.

Just thought I'd like to share.

Made it thru Phase 1 of 10

Just finished my first week of the quarter. Now the real dreading begins.....

Gonna cap off the week w/ some snowboarding. There's slopes in Ohio??? Yeah...that's what I thought at first too...

So far so good

It's only Tuesday, and I haven't been late to class yet! Woohoo! Been having productive mornings, making it real nice. Hopefully it keeps up for good.

1st day back...

Oh boy...this quarter looks rough. Looks like I will have to be out and about a lot. I already detest driving...and needing to drive in the snow worsens things. Was able to wake up and get to school on time...so I suppose that makes starting out the quarter on a decent note.

Trying to hunt down a slow-cooker recipe that's vegetarian and doesn't have more than 5 ingredients...

New chapter...

Of Year #1. Winter quarter starts tomorrow. Am I ready? We'll see. Took some initiative in organizing materials, eliminating one misstep I took from last quarter. BF just made me a sandwich for lunch. Lovely :). We're going to make it a routine to go to sleep early. A bad habit we had was staying up too late last quarter...and that made me a cranky mess all day long. Not fun.

Just got back from watching Avatar...amazing movie!!! Makes you think about how greedy this world has become. Why can't we just all get along?

It's 12:17am. C R A N K Y.

I have succumbed to Uggs

dwtsai@gmail.com (Diana) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 22:47:00 +0000

Over the past year, I've bought a couple of Uggs...not the original ones, but the other more refined, unique styles such as the zip-up Knightsbridge and the sweater boot. However, I do have a mock-up of the original style from Costco. Sucka. All of them, even the brand ones, were purchased at more than 70% off the retail price. Still can't bring myself to pay full price for them. Now that I am living in freezing weather, these boots are a life-saver. So easy on and off, warm, and comfy. Looks like I'll have to get rid of my "Uggs: not cool" T-shirt....

I can't stand...

Staying up late. My crankiness implodes after midnight. It's 1:30AM now...so crankiness level is on overdrive. Grrrrrr.

Happy New Year!

Had a great New Year's Eve with the boy and friends...and fine way to end 2009 on a good note. Actually stayed up until midnight this year to watch the ball drop! Huzzah! For the past few years, I've been sound asleep hours before midnight. Yeah, what a granny.

Going to spend the day cozily cooped up at home, away from the dreary cold. Slept in real late today. Don't like doing that much, but it felt okay today. Going to have to start waking up at the ass crack of dawn soon to trek to my 7:30am class...so might as well stock up on as much sleep as I can...

It's that time again...

Time for New Year's resolutions.

All I have to say for 2009, is that it was one tough, enduring year. It was one hell of a roller coaster, with extreme lows and highs. Events from this year have made a lasting impact for the rest of my life.

The Highs
2009 was the year I found myself jet-setting the nation in pursuit of starting the foundation of my career. It brought me to places that I've never been to, and I met people who I'll never forget. Ironically, after all the exploration, I ended up in my birthplace, 2500 away from home. I was drawn to it because I just felt like I belonged here, at least for the 3 years I'll need to complete my education...it is both very whimsical and haunting to be walking on the same roads my grandparents who I never got to know, and seeing the house that I was raised in for the first 6 months of my life. Though definitely tough at times, I am finally content with my surroundings, an element that I prioritized when looking for the right school.

Friendships were stronger than ever this year. Not going to talk about this too much, because I will go on forever with it...but I am very thankful for having such caring and supportive people in my life. There were times this year where I was literally beaten down, and wasn't sure if I could get up...and these people were here to help me get back up.

And...as for <3-life...;). It was definitely a high point. I'll leave it at that.

The bad
This year was plagued by paralyzing heartbreak that eclipsed the enjoyment of joyful moments - the kind where you find yourself crying so hard that you can barely catch your breath, something that I never experienced before. This heartbreak was this especially painful because it was also inflicted upon the people I love the most - and they all hurt the same way I did, and for some it was worse. We all were just helpless to the barrage of undeserved resentment insensitive to the pain we were experiencing.

Yeah, it was bad. But we're getting through it slowly but surely, and are looking hopeful for the New Year will bring much healing for damage that was done.

All in all...

I learned a lot of myself this year. Years of hard work and perseverance revealed it's rewards. I learned to never give up, and to keep my head up high, no matter how dreadful things may be. I learned ask for help when it is needed. It taught me what it means to live with meaning, and how to cope and stay strong for the people around me, even when I am hurting along with them.

2010
Anyways...enough of the bad...what is done is done, and there's no use in dwelling on it. All we can do now is to let things run their course, and leave our doors open when reality finally sets in. The most important thing that must be carried on is to not let what has happened already malign my character. Yes, what has happened is awful, but that still does not give me an excuse to be awful back.

As for my resolutions for 2010, here they are:
- Run a 10K race...and maybe a half marathon, but that's pushing it.
- Cook my own meals
- Read for fun more often
- Keep up with organizing my schedule by inputing it on iCal
- Australia Winter 2010 --> yes, it's gonna happen.
- NOT NEGLECT MY BLOG AGAIN...which means I must find interesting things to write about

In an effort to simplify things...

I have decided to use a standard template, after years of only using my own. My memory is getting too fuzzy in this department & part of the reason why I haven't been updating is b/c I felt that my own templates were too complicated, and thinking of a way to make a new template that was both original and uncomplicated, just complicated me some more. Hopefully with this new template, I will be motivated to post things, since it was harder to do so w/ the previous stuff. Maybe one day I can figure it out once again.
