Randomsity at it's best

I was just browsing through my tagged photos in Facebook and i'm going to upload some of them here. Well..since I have'nt uploaded any photos for this blog in quite a while.

The first day of Eid at Ammar's.

And this was at cousion Nona's wedding. 2nd of week of the Eid I guess.

Look! We're all Blue =D

The picture speaks for itself. Funny ain't it. Its them young cousins.

This was the Nikah I guess.

This one was at Fafa's O.H.

And....well i guess that's it. There are thousands more photos but you're not expecting me to upload em' all do you. lol. I'm fishing pictures randomly. =D Navigate yourselves to my profile sometimes!

Its what I call 'Joie De Vivre'

A friend of mine can't help noticing the french words i've been using in my previous post. She asked me how I knew those words. Lets just say i've been taking french lessons when reading this book: Tale of two summers.

And speaking of books, want to see my neat book collection s'il vous plait?

I've been collecting em' since late last year. I know its not many, cause I've been reading library books as well. And no those library books ain't included in the picture above.

Furthermore...I've just finished my readings on If you think you can (teen edition) authored by T.j Hoisington. Sounds familiar to you? Its just that I've been mentioning about it alot, especially in this blog. Given that I have finished reading it, i'm striving my attentions to Torey Hayden's Silent Boy (aka Murphey's boy), which I just bought yesterday at Best Eastern. Heres a review on the first 20 pages: Its bona-fide baby. lol!

I'm making reading as a habit. Just like what my old primary teacher said: make it a habit, and you'll derive benefits. Frankly it all started when I first had the thoughts that reading a story book could entertain me on my 16 hours of flight to London last year. lol. But by golly reading turned out to be an obsession, I bought two books that month when I was in London. And one of them was a limited edition! The books are in the picture above. I like reading stories, which explains my devotion to the subject History, which furthermore, I got an A for, in my mock-exam =D

As an aftermath I started living with this philosophy; judge a book not by it's cover or dont judge a book by looking at it's cover. Trust me a book that has a good lookin' cover does'nt mean that the storyline or the inside is better. Most of my books are sci-fi (science-fiction) and have stories that does'nt relate to reality in anyways at all. Its nice reading them, if you anticipate which is, it feels like living in this c'est choute fantasy world. lol.

Nevertheless (here comes my formal statement) I read because I acknowlege it's benefits, needless to say what they are though. Thats why I'm trying to keep a passionate, bourgeoisie perspective towards reading and not let that habit just fade away.

Especially in this holiday, I've got a lot of time to kill by reading my story-books =D

P.s: Navigate yourselves to the the book's sources by clicking on the highlighted words.
And just so you know; all the italic weird words in this post, well it's french. look it up =D

Arrivederci!

Its all about fittin' in

Bonjour everyone! I am back. Sorry for the long break. Needless to say that I have to prepare myself for my exams earlier this month.

Now that its Summer for me and I've finally got 3 months of joie de vivre...I can blog anytime I insist =D

Anyway I was reading this article about 'Teenagers nowadays' and i feel like its something worth blogging about. It reads that a fourteen year old boy caught stealing a pair of jeans from a clothing store claimed that it was'nt his fault. His reason was that his friends made him do it and if he did'nt he won't be accepted as part of the group.

But are we to believe that a fourteen year old can't differentiate between right and wrong? Giving a reason that it was instead his friend's fault is kind of ridiculous, but not entirely i guess; maybe its just peer pressure from his friends. Maybe the kid desperately needs friends and is willing to do anything to achieve it. What I'm trying to point out here is not the wrongdoings of the kid, but instead the friends that he is trying to fit in with. Thats why at times we've got to think wisely before choosing the people we wish to be friends with because somewhat- our friends can shape who we are either positively or negatively. Follow me on this: Imagine if you associate yourself with people who do drugs, alcohols or have the habit of stealing. Their negative influences would slowly attract you to do likewise. But imagine associating yourself with people that you can draw upon ideas, energy, motivation and accountability. I guess you could already imagine the positive effects it sheds.

Nonetheless, the people we associate with will have a profound impact in our lives. They definitely play a relevant role. Thus I like to dedicate this post to all of my thoughtful, caring friends who have always been there for me regardless. Although some of you are heading for your seperate ways next year; by moving out to different schools. But I wont worry much about that, Brunei is not that big; i'm sure we'll run into each other in the future when we got careers and ask one another 'how's life going'. lol. can't wait for that to happen.

But until then:

Au revoir and
Happy Holidays yo!

An act of god?
