Staying True

Hellooo!

     It's a good day for me today! It's been such  a great weekend so far and I'm more grateful for the kind of friends I have who make me happy and cheer me up every time. My week though, was good. It wasn't great, but good. I felt irritable most of the time and my steadfast Sony Ericsson phone died. She was a year and one month old. Cause of death: Trauma from a fall down two storeys (apparently, according to microsoft ''storeys'' isn't a real word *shrugs*). Anyway, that's by the way. School this week felt really hectic and I don't know why, it felt like longer hours but I felt like everything was just happening really quickly at the same time. Like I'd have an 8am class and before I knew it would be 7pm and I'd be studying for my test the next day. Let's just say I really appreciated the whole TGIF mantra this week.
   This week I learned an important lesson about staying true to yourself. By staying true to yourself, I don't mean that you shouldn't try to change bad habits or make yourself a better person or learn from the advice of others. I mean that whatever the circumstances are, remain cheerful and nice to people. Even if you're having a bad day, or you're broke or hungry (this is for me), try not to treat people differently from how you would've treated them if you were in a superb mood. Don't let one person determine how you treat others. If someone is rude to you all the time or picks on you, it doesn't mean you should be rude to other people or even to that person (if you can manage). It's cliche but true. Rise above it. If you're too angry to be nice to the person immediately after he offends you, be nice to other people. Stay true to you. Be the great friend you've always been, be the good student you've always been, be the polite coworker you've always been. Do not let anyone take control over your your emotions and reactions because at the end of the day, YOU will lose friends and ruin your good reputation. 
   Guess who took some photos this week? Me. Here are some of my favorites.

Memoirs of a Good Weekend

   

   Hello beautiful people! How are y'all doing today? In case you haven't noticed, someone is in a fab mood today ^_^. I had a great weekend- good food, good people, great stuff (nasty weather though). I'll give you the highlights.. mostly. The weekend started on Thursday for me, visited some friends who live an hour away from my city. It was snowing cats and dogs! but I got there in one piece. We did our manicure :D and made some delish pizza :D and caught up on life and American Idol. There were a lot of laughs about Nicki Minaj's Nicknaming. Got back home Friday evening and caught up with my friends at Seattle Grace Hospital ( Its from a TV show- Grey's Anatomy).

     I had movie night Saturday, finally saw Life of Pi. Beautiful visuals. Loved the Bengal tiger, I can't wait till animals and humans get to live together (Isaiah 65:25). Then that mind boggling ending (SPOILER ALERT), I do not want to believe that Richard Parker was his way of blocking what really happened. I actually stayed up all night picturing his second story where the Zebra was the sailor, the orangutan his mother, the hyena the cook and he, the Bengal tiger. I'd rather believe that it was just him and the animals on the boat. Well, if you haven't seen Life of Pi, you should, its really good and then you'd understand all his rambling better. Ohh and I watched the Togo-Algeria match with some friends, I thought it was a bit slow, hopefully as the competition progresses, we'll get more action. But it was still great!

   I learned an important lesson about forgiveness this weekend too. Its important, for your health, your peace of mind and your relationship with God. I know this might sound cliche, but someone you haven't forgiven has control over you and I don't know about you but I like to have control over myself and not have the mere sight of someone piss me off every time. I'd rather be indifferent *shrugs*. Also, one question, I'd like to know your opinion (if anyone's reading this, lol) sound off in the comments below ''Do you think looking back at the past is healthy?'' I think its got pros and cons, like it helps you see how much you've grown and how much you've been blessed and how much you've learned from life. It can also be unhealthy, if you let the past obstruct your future kinda like looking at the rear view mirror too often while driving and neglecting looking ahead. I'd really like to know what y'all think.
     And now, the best part, :) PHOTOS! Enjoy!

Its winter wonderland
