Well, a light hearted post should be fine amongst all these trivial ones. It's 9:09am and by staring around this pigsty...or my room, as others like to call it, I see how much I've really changed. A year ago there was no guitar, video camera, digital camera, Nintendo wii, shoes that are less than $100 (which is something new for me, believe it or not), concert tickets stuck to my pin board, about 6 invites to 6 18ths, a VTAC guide (to pick university courses), a bible (of all things), a journal and a lot of books on discovering Christianity.
I'm doing the 40 hour famine to help children in Laos which is something I also did last year and cannot wait to try it again. I was one of the few who didn't find it overly difficult. I also never anticipated that I'd be going to India for 6 months next year, that is, if I get accepted. But the lady said I'm as good as in. Though India does not suffer from poverty, it has a high rate of homeless and sexually transmitted diseases. So they send me there to assist and create awareness. India still resort to women selling their bodies to fund for their weekly rations, which I think should be completely eradicated.
Digital cameras are a new thing for me. I love taking photos and capturing every moment I possibly can on film. Photography really is a beautiful art and I'd love to expand on it. I also love writing more than ever, and when people compliment that, I'm not sure if they know, but it means the world to me. Honestly, it's probably the only skill I may possess so I don't want it to go to waste.
Oh! Sunday school! What is that! Last year I would laugh hysterically at the thought, and now I'm expanding my knowledge of God. Which is something I think I need...but I'm afraid I've really put my foot in this one, I was never raised to believe in something like this and my knowledge is as dry as they come. Hopefully I can make the most of it and it won't be too confronting. But man, what is going on with my life!
Yes, I still want to do journalism (right after India, of course) and perhaps work for a magazine...that has no relevance to physical beauty, because physical beauty to me is so limited in what beauty there is and it can cause severe effects in teenage lives. The last thing I want to do with my skill is tell people how they should live and how they should look.
Anyway, church, homework, cleaning and probably a lot more is on the agenda for today but before all that I must tend to my growling stomach!
