   Hehe, when you’re tired and sore on the Monday of your February vacation and any kind of physical activity is a big ‘no no’ then…thinking and reflecting on the past…is a fun thing to do. Ah! So much to do, so many people to see, so much left to waste! Blab, such is life, ne?..

   

  Hoiiiiii! During April vacation from 4.14-5.3 I get to go back to China! Trip number 2 for the motherland.  It’s been two years since my last visit, but I’ve changed a lot..hopefully for the better.  I mean, true, I’m more mature in some areas, but in other areas.. I’m still a little kid and it’s still difficult to accept that. And..I can’t seem to find it …whatever I’m looking for.  On that note, Thu and I were having this conversation today.....about self-refinement, and thinking back, I distinctly remember telling her ‘go with the flow, and if you trust yourself…everything will be fine’.  It seems that I need to follow my own advice, and stop trying to force everything. And if I were to reword it a little more… “Have faith in yourself but even more importantly, have faith in God” that is what I would say to myself, if I could…and that is exactly what I plan on doing. 

   

  Yea, this entry has no real direction, I’m just typing what I feel like typing and in trying to express myself….I think it’s working. =]….TENNIS! Blast yesterday, was pretty fun…and in total I had 7 hours of tennis over my weekend (and 2 hours of Aikido *with 51 ukemi at the end of class*…wow that’s 9 hours of training!). T’was verrry fun. So… playing tennis…. Yesterday played Kevin’s dad and he’s really manipulative! He has no strong strokes or servers or anything like that, but he places his shots with great accuracy! Just a reminder to myself that I need more experience and practice.  And especially my backhand, aklsdfj;aksdfjl;asdkj.  Yea, it’s like that.  Hehe, and also, watching David and Phuch play yesterday, I mean, wow…I have a lot more respect for them now.  I mean, David can be a pain sometimes, but in the case of tennis, he works hard, and not only that, he enjoys it.  As for Phuch, watching him play…heh there is so much potential in what he does during a tennis match.  It’s a great invigorator, and understanding that, makes me wanna train even harder! Yup, that’s it for tennis for now. 

   

  So…I’ve covered…self-refinement and tennis so far.  Next topic, school. Ehh, Thu and I covered part of this too, but apparently movies with SISCSDTERS are more fun than talking with Josh! Hehe, I kid, family is priority and it’s great that she has such a beautiful relationship with her sisters.  Anyhoo, school, and now that I think about it, KT and I talked about it. In fact she sent me a great article from Paul Graham about it.  I must say, deep deep stuff.

  I recommend that everyone read it when they get a chance.  Basically it’s about the society that kids in school…create in order to function.. And also about how school is just a daycare for teenagers and such… Anyways, read the article. In fact, since I agree with most the stuff in there anyways….yea, skipping the topic.

   

  Friendship.  Ooooh it’s the big one.  It’s pretty damn important too.  Oi…since I’m talking about it, I feel a lot like Cicero…from Latin Class….DAMN IT.  Well, I never paid any attention to Cahill anyways… In our school….’friends’ are no more than distant acquaintances, and there are so many people that we call ‘friends’ but…who really IS? Me…personally, I’ve been blessed.  I have two amazing friends at BLS….  No, no…let me rephrase… I don’t mean to say these are the only two people I consider friends, but perhaps I should say that these two are my two GREATEST friends.  I mean these two are the people I would LIVE and DIE for.  Hehe, I don’t think they know how much I love and cherish them.  I don’t think I need to mention their names…they know and that also is my reassurance.  True, especially this year…we’ve all been a little bit more distant and conservative, but that doesn’t change who we really are! Time does not change what truly IS.  What truly exists.  And I believe that with everything that I am and everything that I do.  Can you  say the same about your friends? If not, perhaps you should make new ones. And what qualities make a real friend? Damn, again with the Cicero and the stupid De Amicitia…all that aside.. If you actually THINK about it.. and really do…it’s so hard! Loyalty…very important.. Trust….which really is the foundation, Perseverance….through the difficult times, and it’s important…perseverance is like the filter of your friends…who will stick it out with you…thick and thin? Blah, more on this later, I don’t think I can say all I want to say about friendship in one entry…I mean, hell, Cicero wrote like 62 entries on it. 

   

   

   

  Anyways,

   

   

   

  
  

  
  

   Hope you enjoyed this Glimpse Into My Soul.

   

  
   

  I can still see the reason why I loved you so much…........

  .................and may I never forget.
