reading Eat, Pray, Love ..

again, just a thought

Am I also never where I am?
Just like how the author described herself,

always digging in the past or poking the future?

money matters (v. n.)

"It is what we make out of what we have,

not what we're given,
that separates one from another."

really?

alcohol

My favourite quote on alcohol..

술을 마시되 덕이 없으면 난하고

주흥을 즐기되 예를 지키지 않으면 잡되어

술을 마실 때에는 덕과 예를 갖춘 바른 태도를 지녀야 한다

고산 윤선도

Anyways, even alcohol can't get me to sleep these days,

including today :(

Shud somehow stop sleeping at wierd intervals before school starts

"Colour" Best poem of 2005 -UN

(supposedly written by an African boy named Malcolm X or something..
his name's nowhere!)

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey
And you calling me coloured??

advices from couple ajussis and more..

Well, I thought I shud write them down somewhere, before I forget them since

I want to be reminded of them sometimes.

and this right here shall be the perfect spot ..

I like talking to old people, as in people who are older than me (except my parents!! :p)

maybe cuz I was almost raised by my grandma.

Well actually, not really talking to but listening to what they say.

Maybe they're wrong, maybe they're right or maybe they are both right and wrong

but anyways they always make me think and that is good enough.
They seem to have so many stories to tell that I'm excited to get older!
and I've also got some grateful friends those I'm deeply indebted.

So here are some advices(?) I got from some people, those I still remember for some reason:

Jeffrey ajussi "There is an old saying in English, 'don't shit where you eat'."

haha..touching ^^

The Singaporean prosecutor "Don't destroy your own life."

and he did save my damn ass.. helped me to get out of all the mess.
It's sometimes unbelievably difficult to not make the same mistakes again
even after losing something significant from it.
Anyways, I wish I knew his name, I would have visited him once.

I can still remember his eyes, so bright and warm, yet certain and strong.

He was indeed a very inspiring person that after the interview,

I dreamt of becoming a prosecutor (tho I changed my mind after like a month I think..).

비운의 유도왕
"쉬워진 것과 사랑하는 것은 엄연히 다릅니다.
전 가끔 제 동생을 졸라 패지만 제 동생을 사랑하지 않는건 아닙니다."
lol.. it's funny that it makes sense

John ajussi "Go home and be strong. You can handle anything you want."

and "가다가 나같이 생긴 사람 만나면 조심해 도망가"

I agree with the second one.

the younger John ajussi "You should be proud of being young. Really."

Tho we barely know each other, it did make me feel better at that time at least.

YoungGwang ajussi "You should start taking good care of your skin at your age right now."

Yea .. maybe lol

Johnny HM "괜찮아" He always tells me that.

It isn't really an advice but it's good to have sb who can at least tell me it's all okay

whatever it is that I have done.

"세상에 무슨일이 아무리 슬퍼도 가족이 죽었을때랑은 비교할수없어"

I so stupidly sometimes forget that.

and lastly, 지윤이가 트윗해준 시

'Should This Life Sometime Deceive You' Alexander Pushkin

Should this life sometime deceive you,
Don't be sad or mad at it!
On a gloomy day, submit:
Trust -- fair day will come, why grieve you?

Heart lives in the future, so
What if gloom pervades the present?
All is fleeting, all will go;
What is gone will then be pleasant

Anyways, gong xi fa cai !

"너는 기억할지어다. 너를 모욕하는 것은 네게 욕하고, 때리고, 모욕하는 것이 아니라는 점을. 그것은 네가 그들에 대해 갖고 있는 너의 생각, 즉 너를 모욕한 자들로서 그들을 바라보게 하는 너의 생각이다. 누군가 너를 슬프게 하고 괴롭힐 때, 그 사람이 너를 괴롭히는 것이 아니라, 그에 대한 생각이 너를 괴롭히는 것이다. 그러므로 무엇보다도 너는 상상에 몸을 맡기지 않도록 힘쓸지니라. 왜냐하면 일단 시간을 두고 늦춘다면, 너는 손쉽게 너 자신을 다스릴 수 있게 될 것이기 때문이다."

- <엥케이리디온>, Epictetus

관성이가 나한테 보내준 quote다 ㅋㅋ
생각이 날 괴롭히는거라는건 정말 맞는말인것 같다.
그런데 요즘 나는 생각하면 무섭고 힘드니까 생각하지 않으려하고

눈을 감고 귀를 막아서 보지않고 듣지않으려는데 잘하는걸까?
and what else could I possibly do other than trying to be indifferent?
