hours and days

these days when i think of when i need to get to a certain place and then how to get there i start thinking in terms of cost-effectivity. well. ish.

how much time can i afford? do i know the place? what are the ways i can get there and how quickly i can get there with respect to different modes of transport?

then i question: how much does it require? can i afford it? is it necessary?


recently, there's been lots of calculations and estimates and with the grace of God, i am able to get through all of these times very well. somehow, just somehow, i'm able to get to the various places that i need to get to on time and in good shape. each trip i make seems to be a miracle.

take this morning for example: i was headed towards courts at tampines from home at about 7-odd in the morning, and i was able to get a quick cab quickly and for some reason managed to avoid all the heavy traffic. the rest of the girls who came later than i did got stuck on the roads and oddly, we all used the same highways to get to where we needed to get to. miracle or what, huh. hehe

and yes, in case you're wondering, i was praying for smooth passage and being on time. that definitely helped. these "little miracles" happen so often that i pray more and more often and i know that it will turn out just the way i had prayed for it to.

...come to think of it, there aren't "little miracles" or "big miracles" - miracles are miracles are miracles - one is as miraculous as the other. geebus, i have the sudden urge to crow in exultation that HEY YA SUCKERS! I'VE GOT THE BEST ALLY IN THE WORLD!

...but i refrain from that.


instead, i shall.... smiiiile, and know that i'm in excellent hands. -SMILE-

THIS, IS, SPARTAAAAA!!!!

preview show

ho boy, the preview show was good! i was surprisingly calm on stage and it was alright, methinks. i know the audience loved my singing and i know they loved my performance. singing that saucy song with jazzy overtones is indeed a good choice. things went on without a hitch, despite the pitch being too high - perhaps it was because i couldn't hear it so well, so i sang at a pitch i was comfortable with.

also, perhaps because i had stayed up the night before my voice was slightly smokey-sugary, so it's all good. lol


personality shone through and it was a good show by all. haha!

AAAA

it's 3am and i still can't get the pitch to go down on my mac! bloody hell!!! >_<

karma

well, what happens will happen. i know i will take it all well, and with grace, for i am a comet.

i will meet someone in july. i don't know who that person will be, but i think he brings me love. what is this feeling that i have throbbing in my chest right now?

it makes me want to cry.

...must be gas.


well, june's almost over, and it has indeed been a month of learning as i'd predicted. for what it's worth, i know i'll be happy in july, then will come august. august will be a month of trials, but that probably means i'm successful in my pursuits. meaning more challenges to make me grow and i become someone better.

after that, it all seems to settle down into a sort of a pattern, so august probably signifies some sort of a change, like me trying to get used to a new environment or work arrangement.

come to think of it, that's also when i plan to move on from sankei shimbun. yeah, once media always media. i love it! whatever it is, it'll be good. it's going to be good.


it'll be a good life! i know it will be. for i am a comet. as i always have been. i can't stop; i don't stop.

people are comets. we all are; and we can't stop. this is my time; our time. we don't stop.

not until years later at least, when we've gained the sheen of pride, a little bit of arrogance and accumulated life experience, beauty, charisma.

then we become people again, and learn to slow. that is when we glow from within. truly glow from within. in Jesus' name, i pray.

amen.

tailoring

so i am taking part in pageants.

one is called ms sweetheart, and right now i'm going to have to rent a gown. it's going to cost me between 100 to 200 thereabouts and it will be of general size and proportion. the tailored one is going to fit me to a tee, but it's going to cost about 600 >_<


OMG

i hope i can find a pretty gown! i hope hope hope i can find a gown.

ace

and i aced it! WOOO!

bees?

yeah. they're here. good lah, ego boost.

politically-correct

yeah, politically-correct. there are some clashes with the dates for the two competitions and i'm appealing to have the cake and eat it too.

being nice and politically-correct has never been more crucial!
