The outside may complement the inside

*taking a deep (hopefully) cleansing breath*

Sometimes, when there's some sort of pain or discomfort deep in us (like our heart), it will project through our body and show on the outside (Means some sort of pain or discomfort just so happens to come around physically.) Gosh..I have no clue how to explain it more clearly. Just want to say it out. But for better or for worse, life is good...

God bless!!! ^^

Confessions of a Girl Named Pris

Especially for my friends, family, relatives, acquaintances etc....

Now, I am aware that I haven't exactly been in my prime moments lately. Things may not seem to turn out right at times and I may need to let go of some stuff...but believe it or not..I'm perfectly fine with all that. Strange enough, I feel that it's all meant to be for certain reasons. It might seem terrible to some, yet it can also be motivating to some others. So, why don't we see the glass as half full, shall we? ;)

Alright then, in order to set things straight and let out whatever it is that may be bothering me regarding people's thoughts and my own perceptions, I'm going to give my comments about specific situations that have been happening since early this year. So, let's pretend that I'm being interviewed about my life. And to keep it interesting and mysterious enough (because you might not know what incident or event I'll be referring to), I'll just make them into quotes. One thing for sure is, they all come from me and I just need you to listen (or read, actually =D) so that life can just move on. Please be reminded that some of them may relate to each other in a way but some are completely separated matters. The reason I'm not stating exactly what each quote is about is to protect my own confidentiality (Ceh...^^).

Here I go. Just randomly...

-------------

"I know it may seem like the ultimate bad news to some but I'm fine with it now. What will be, will be. Things really do happen for their own reasons, you know. So, let's just suck it up and go with it!"

-------------

"What more can I say? I just enjoy doing what I've been doing so far. No one can stop me, no one should. I mean, it's not that I've done anything illegal or something. I'm not lying when I say that I don't regret a single thing."

-------------

"Don't blindly believe what you hear because after being passed on from one person to another, the fact tends to lose part of its believability. I'm not denying anything, nor am I confirming it..I'm just saying that you should do your own little 'homework' before deciding to believe it. ;) "

-------------

"It's no big deal! I did it for the fun of it and to know how it would feel like. And it was quite an experience. It wasn't so bad for a freshie."

-------------

"It's not that I don't want to. It's just...how? I mean, to talk about it is one thing but it won't just happen in a snap, now, will it? ;) "

-------------

"I do things in my own pace, okay. It's not that I won't get it done at all. Chill..."

-------------

"I thought it's a good thing to want to explore things in life. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Besides, it'll only last for less than two 'freaking' months."

-------------

So, there you go! In case you want to know a little bit more on any of those quoted comments of mine, you can always ask. I just want to make things clear. But don't get upset or anything if I tend to beat around the bush. You know me...

Thanks for your time.

P/S: I'm doing this particular post not because I'm having a breakdown or something. It's also not because I'm moving to another country soon. It's just to clarify some stuff. Plus, it's fun!

The Kana Charts

This is just for the fun of it. I'm showing you the Hiragana and Katakana charts, which contain the basic writings of japanese words based on the way they sound. The correct way of applying them in real life writing is a little complicated, so let's just be familiar with it first.

ANALYSIS

1. What kind of chair do you prefer?

a. Be together with you always, no matter when or where
b. Be more open with you about himself/herself
c. Take more care of his/her dress and manner
d. Be a little bit more relaxed, calm and composed
e. Do more for you


The message behind the question:

If you choose to sit on certain chair, you are not suspicious of it or distrust it. This is similar to the psychology present in our relationships with the people we like. In other words, the qualities we look for in a chair are similar to the qualities that we look for in a partner.

Hidden meaning: With respect to money:

a. You spend as little as possible.
b. You spend whatever you have.
c. You save for rainy day.
d. You spend carefully. Pennies saved turn into dollars.
e. You are probably a bit stingy.

The message behind the question:

Sunday is a day you are free to use however you want. Having freedom to do whatever you want is like having money to spend however you want. Becoming good at managing your finances is an important step towards independence. What do you think of your money spending habits? A penny for your thoughts...

3. A box lying in the road. What is inside?

Hidden meaning : You think good luck ....

a. Depends on maintaining good relationships with others.
b. Is something you won't attain. You expect only bad luck.
c. Will definitely be yours, someday....
d. Might come your way.
e. Doesn't exist. Reality is built on practicalities.

The message behind the question:

People often attribute unexpected events to good luck or bad luck. When something goes well; it's good luck; when things turn sour, it's bad luck. Your answer reveals what kind of luck (what's inside the box) you think you will have in an unexpected circumstance (the box on the road)

4. What kind of present would you buy for a very closed friend ?

a. You are not able to relate clearly to others. You tend to become lost in clouds of confusion when attempting a task.
b. You are the type of person who assumes that the world revolves around yourself.
c. You tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked.
d. You care more about world trends and fashions in general than you do about your own, or other people's needs.
e. You have a tendency to overdo things, but basically you value your friendships highly.

The message behind the question:

By stating what kind of gift you would give to a good friend, you are actually revealing how you relate to others. However, it doesn't really matter so much what you give someone - it's the thought the counts. If you care enough to give something, your friend will get the message. The dual acts of giving and receiving are, together, one of the finest pleasures and one of the best forms of communication - that friends share..

5. You want to cross a river, but there is no bridge in sight. What do you do?

Hidden meaning : When it comes to finding a romantic partner you:

a. Will search and search until you find your perfect match.
b. Create opportunities to interact with many people through club activities or a hobby, then select someone you like.
c. Don't have any particular type in mind, but are inclined to look for someone who is likely to say 'Yes' if you ask him/her out.
d. Base your search on information from your friends.
e. Are not too worried about finding someone right away.

The message behind the question :

Your answer to this question reveals the way you tend to search for a boyfriend/girlfriend. Crossing a river is a psychological equivalent of getting out and finding that special someone. In any case, if you don't make an effort to meet people, there's no way any relationships is going to start at all. So, get to it!

Watch Them, Listen To Them, Drool Over Them, 'Wear' Them Too!

T-shirt designing is pretty common these days. Anyone can have the chance to put whatever they'd like to see (and wear) onto a t-shirt. That's a good thing, isn't it? It's one of the many ways we can express ourselves, show what we're passionate about, or simply display our creative side. Well, I've tried to make some and...here they are. These are not necessarily the final design, though. And I have one little favor to ask you.....if you have any suggestions or ideas to make it look better, PLEASE tell. Thanks! Just for the record, I intentionally keep my designs simple yet expressive enough. It's the thoughts that matter the most, right?

Well, that's about it. Like I stated before, I might change a little, just so you know. If you have the time and interest to design your own, go ahead. In case you need some blank t-shirt images to get started, here you go:



Have fun!
