I can’t believe I haven’t been updating this thing, and I’m paying for it to be on the internet. But that’s alright. So I started to write this post, thinking I could come up with something to say, speak my mind, where people who read this can benefit from. Let me grab my quote book, pick a random quote, and just go from there…

“All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly until they take root in our personal experience.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What a coincidence. Here I am trying to think of something insightful, yet it’s probably already been thought of. But I can take part of saying its mine once I take that thought and do something with it.

There are times when my friends and even your friends are following what this quote is saying. What I’m talking about is giving advice. People ask for advice to help clear their minds in situations then can’t deal with alone. Advice is your thoughts, my thoughts, anyone’s thoughts being shared with others to help the one who needs it in some way or another. It gives them a different perspective towards the situation and even open up doors to options where they didn’t think was possible. When advice is taken, this is where the thought becomes theirs because they are letting it intertwine with their personal experience.

When I look back, I a lot of my friends came to me for advice in situations I’ve never dealt with. But in order for me to help them, I put myself in their shoes and think what would be the best reasonable way to deal with what’s happening. And to my friends, it makes sense. And I’m glad. It makes me feel good to help out a friend.

Again. I need to start updating. I’m being very repetitive. Sorry I know. But really nothing has changed. Well there’s been some sort of change. . .

Little bit good. Little bit bad.

Rooftops by: Lostprophets

So I’ve been playing Guitar Hero World Tour every now and then. Rooftops is one of the songs my little sister loves to sing to, and it’s one of the songs that has caught my attention because of the meaningful lyrics.

When our time is up
When our lives are done
Will we say, we’ve had our fun

Will we make a mark this time
Will we always say we tried

We’re standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out
This is all we got now
Everybody scream your heart out

All the love I’ve met
I have no regrets
If it all ends now, I’m set

Will we make a mark this time
Will we always say we tried

We’re standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out
This is all we got now
Everybody scream your heart out

Standing on the rooftops
Wait until the bombs drop
This is all we got now
Scream until your heart stops

Never gonna regret
Watching every sunset
We’ll, listen to your heartbeat
All the love that we found

Standing on the rooftops
Wait until the bombs drop
This is all we got now
Scream until your heart stops

Never gonna regret
Watching every sunset
We’ll, listen to your heartbeat
All the love that we found

Scream your heart out
Scream your heart out
Scream your heart out
Scream your

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out
This is all we got now
Everybody scream your

In the chorus it says “Everybody scream your hearts out.” That is the best way to live life, by following your heart, not by what society says, not by prejudice, but by how your own heart really feels. That’s how you leave your mark. People get so busy with everything that has been going on around them, but they don’t seem to stop and just take a breath. They really let life pass them by.

As long as you are happy with your life, and you live it with no regrets, and you do everything because you believe in it, then you have lived your life. You have lived within the moment.

..That’s what I would like you to do.. stop and take a breath. Let me enjoy your life with you as you enjoy mine with me. I don’t want to wait until later, where I don’t even know if you will still be there with me.

Nothing new has been happening. My life is still the same routine. But here and there my day goes differently than it would normally happen. Like for instance, yesterday. I decided to volunteer to go on a hiking field trip with my little sister at the Santa Monica Mountains. It was the perfect day to go hiking. I really enjoyed just being out along with nature hiking with my sister. It was so relaxing and peaceful. Hiking trips its one of my favorite things to do, but I don’t get to do it very often because I have no one really to go with. And it’s something out of the ordinary. I hope I get to go hiking again somewhere so I could get away for a bit and share the moment with someone I really care about.

I’m honestly getting bored.. I envy couples that goes out and have fun together, even if its going on hiking trips, walking on the beach, going to the park to play frisbee, catch, having a little picnic. You know, spending time and doing something different from time to time. I told you that we could go hiking at the trail I went to. You didn’t sound to enthusiastic about it. I told you I wanted to go to the beach, but you didn’t say anything but “Okay” instead of telling me that you will take me there soon.  The things I want to do with you aren’t even expensive. It’s cheaper than taking me to dinner and movies. *sigh.

Happy late St. Patrick’s Day. I’ve been pretty busy with school because I just finished my first semester. I had to get ready for my final, which I passed with an 89%.

Nothing much has been happening. I haven’t been working, no tests coming up soon. I pretty much have a lot of free time on my hands, and I still manage not to update my blog. However, I have been working on a Slickr plugin gallery, which is giving me such a hard time. I’m almost there. I just need to find an alternative LightBox plugin that works perfectly with it. We’ll see how that goes. I hope I get it to work by the end of next week.
