                <description><![CDATA[ So officially finished another semester.  I hope my GPA and transcript are going to be intact *nervous laugh*  I worked uber hard but IFA2 will always pull me down under.  Stupid prof.<br />
<br />
Anyways, the 100 challenge is like, dead.  I've been too busy with other stuff to bother coming up with stuff that's creative and good enough for my tastes.  So much of my stuff has been just...whatever.  And no one on the forums really pays attention to my stuff particularly because my talent (if this is what I even have...it feels so inferior!) is way outdone and outshone by other pixel artists.  *sigh*  At least I think I'm at a decent level ...<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is a night on the town with my crew, which I am looking forward too.  My and my bf haven't spent much time together, and I haven't really seen my friends for a bit due to projects and exams.  It'll be nice finally.  Some Christmas shopping, drinking & dancing, always a good combo heh.<br />
<br />
So that's the end of my journal here.  Merry Christmas and Happy (early) New year!  I'm going to be uploading my bases here too some time soon...stay tuned ;3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <small>Been busy but I've got a few things to be done.  I've been lazy and not doing any scanning of my latest drawings, and as for pixel work...well I must say, I've stopped for almost 6 months.  I've lost interest and now I'm more into doing something that won't get lost in virtuspace.<br />
<br />
If you want commissions for little pixels (check my gallery) - I do them through PM on GaiaOnline.  My username is caramielle.  For more info, check the journal there.<br />
<br />
Not much time to do anything artsy, but I have enough projects lined up for myself that I will surely be busy...hopefully not too tired to end up not seeing anyone (especially my bunny :3)<br />
<br />
I should be getting a summer job soon.  My fingers are crossed.</small><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "The piano room era is over.  It's not as happy as it used to be." <br />
<br />
I guess it's true.  It was a place that brought a lot of people together, and ultimately where a lot of things ended.  I just hope that it will bring the same happiness to other people, like it did to me.  And all the people who are involved in the similar situation that I am in (and somewhat, out, of).  In the end, it's like a music box that we all simultaneously opened, enjoying the twinkling tunes and eventually closing the box when it wound down, keeping it as a souvenir of the good memories and happiness.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if things remained the same.  But <i>everything happens for a reason</i>.<br />
<br />
...and all the colours of the rainbow<br />
                     never seem to make the world all that colourful...<br />

<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Things were nice while they lasted.  The happy times and memories.  The good feelings.  The natural highs.<br />
<br />
<b>I miss you</b><br />
<br />
But I knew that eventually we'd have to part ways.<br />
I never anticipated on it being so soon.<br />
<br />
<i>As I think about it less and less,<br />
And as I stop rewinding,<br />
Trying to live in a memory.<br />
It can't be helped: I still miss you.<br />
<br />
But at least I'm over you.<br />
<br />
Walked me halfway down the road.<br />
Said goodbye and left<br />
Down the other path.<br />
I walk the rest alone.<br />
Knowing that maybe you'll look back.</i><br />
<br />
I never loved you.  I never have, I never will.  Love is not the right word.  I only liked you more than anyone else in the world.  There's a fine line between "love" and "like a lot".  But know that whatever happens, I'll always like you.  Maybe not in the same way, but I'm following your words.  I always listened to you.  And you always listened to me.<br />
<br />
Maybe.<br />
That's why.<br />
I miss you.  But I don't.  <br />
At the same time. ]]></description>

I fell in love with your sin<br />
Your littlest sin<br />
-Anberlin<br />
<br />
I turn around for a minute and then you're gone.<br />

Everything is different,<br />

To before; and after <br />

Everything just seems to fade to black.<br />
<br />
For once I will question<br />
Who is the center of this problem?<br />
Is it you<br />
Or is it me?<br />
<br />
I thought about you.<br />
And that is my final confession.<br />
You never told me.</i> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Finals</b> - One week<br />
<b><3</b> - One month in a few days<br />
<br />
So there I was, yesterday, talking about how fast time goes by...I look at the picture on my board and I realize that it's been a month (in three days) that it had been taken.  And in a month, I got to know someone so much more than I ever though I would...something that I haven't really experienced before; to know someone so well, and for them to understand you equally as well.<br />

<b>Finals</b> have been adding to stress levels.  It's almost a win it, or break it situation.  To compete with two semester's worth of grades.  To compete with a whole year...it's not easy anymore when you have a reputation.  To have your name on the Dean's list once, makes the pressure hike up to get it on again, and again and again.  In a way, maybe it would've been better not to be on the list.  But now that I'm on it, I put the pressure on myself to get on it.  Again.<br />
<br />
There was a birthday party yesterday and I was close to drunk...cheers to the wonderful friends that I have.  And to that amazing person in my life, that just makes everything seem to light up.  Aaah.<br />
<br />
Off on a tangent, I need to make a new dA ID.  Argh* ]]></description>

Friday night was awesome...I saw a fire fountain.  Now <i>that's</i> awesome.<br />
<br />
<i>There is no combination of words <br />
I could put on the back of a postcard <br />
And no song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart<br />
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things <br />
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia tone loving <br />
<br />
Love is the answer <br />
At least for most of the questions in my heart <br />
Why are we here and where do we go<br />
And how come it's so hard<br />
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving <br />
I'll tell you one thing<br />
It's always better when we're together </i><br />

Yesterday I just sat here, in front of my computer screen, playing a card game.  And I was crying.  Maybe it was something my mum told me when we were on the phone.  Sometimes, I feel that whatever I say is never heard.  <br />
<br />
Thank you for listening.  Or not.<br />

(No, I'm not cynical.  I'm happy.  There's a lot of stuff I have to do when I get back to HK.  I regret not talking to someone yesterday; I might not be able to talk to him until we see each other again in August.  Wow...that seems miles away) <33 Will miss (him) loads.<br />

<br />
<b>... // convo on the metro // ...</b><br />
<br />
So do you have a valentine's?<br />
No <i>(I wish I did)</i><br />
Why not?<br />
I dunno <i>(Just because)</i><br />
Why didn't you ask someone?<br />
I dunno <i>(Because, I don't want to look  desperate.  Heck, I don't need someone  to be my valentine.  I'll let them do  it with their own free will)</i><br />
Oh well, have a happy valentine's day  then<br />
You too <i>(even though I know I won't;  too bad you couldn't be my valentine, i  made something but there was no point  in the end, i know i won't give it  because, i'm not supposed to)</i><br />
<br />
So that's my Valentine's Day summed up  in one conversation.  I should work. </3 ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>is inevitable</i><br />
<br />
(Extracted from a comment to Jen with  some bits changed)<br />
<br />
Things change, people change just like  the seasons change...it's like  something we're meant to do in some  way.  it's  like adapting because you  can't stay the same forever (there's so  many reasons why you can't).<br />
<br />
i mean...i had to change...i had to  leave everyone behind in hk just to  come back to the beginning (that's what  i always considered montreal + canada),  this change isn't the first most major  change i've had, rather the second one.   first was leaving canada to hk, now  it's leaving hk to canada.<br />
<br />
in a way, change can do some  good...like learning to experience new  things...like me,  experiencing a new  type of lifestyle, school life, city  life...love life (crushing on someone  who is <b>not</b> asian in any way)  but it  doesn't always end up bringing up good  things, sometimes it could break things  apart, like how i feel so disconnected  from everyone back in Hong Kong.   Change is always hard, sometimes it can  hurt, sometimes it can put things to a  test.  <br />
<br />
But you can't run away from change.  No  matter where you go it follows you, to  pounce on you when you least expect it.   Yet, you submit to it, knowing that in  the end, it'll do some good.<br />
<br />
*sigh*<br />

Fact: Learning processes are hard when  your <b>heart</b> resents it but your <b>mind</b>  knows it's the best thing to do.  One  minute I think I've accomplished this  forsaken process of giving up and  forgetting...but the next I just think  it'll never happen and I want to give  up.  It's confusing.  And I'm confused. ]]></description>

<i>She's walking home alone tonight,<br />
Emptyhanded her arms dangle loosely at  her sides.<br />
Does she know she's missing anything or  <br />
Nothing really matters anymore.<br />
Stars shine above the lonely park,<br />
while leaves rustled with humid  breeze...<br />
And she questioned her fate as if it  were written;<br />
In the stars it was written,<br />
that she would walk home alone.</i><br />

I guess it's time to let go of it all.<br />

<br />
Dear friend,<br />
  I'm sorry to have to write this, but  I am so utterly confused right  now...not because of you only, but also  because of what is happening right now.<br />
<br />
  I sometimes wonder why you do such  things to get what you want.  I am not  willing to forgive your for lying to  me, using other people as an excuse to  force me to change something for the  benefit of you.  First off, it's  something <b>I have</b> decided upon,  something I <b>am</b> supposed to decide upon.   It is not your event, it is <i>mine</i>.  I  didn't want to put it like this to you,  you will never read this and if you do,  please understand my feelings.<br />
<br />
  In my eyes, you right now, in this  moment of time, seem to want attention.   I don't know why.  You try and try to  persuade me to change dates to suit  you.  Every single day you used to  pester me.  I'm sorry I never changed  it for you.  But you used so many  methods to try and make me feel bad for  not changing it, in a way, you make me  feel sorry when I know I shouldn't.<br />
<br />
  Due to this, I wonder...why can't you  accept the fact you can't go?  It's not  like I will never see you again.  But  you make it seem that way which is why  you are not pleased with the outcome?   I don't know.  I hate to say it but you  always want pity to be thrown upon  you...the sympathy of one.  Yet, you  don't seem to understand when other  people need it.  A hypocrite?  I don't  think so, but you can judge for  yourself.<br />
<br />
  I am not doing this in spite, or  because I am jealous or because I wish  not to be your friend or to make people  see the wrong side of you.  I'm saying  this because I am tired of everything.   This month has drained everything out  of me...to be quite frank my dad, in my  eyes, is writhering at the fact we are  leaving, my mum is on the verge of  going crazy with the burden she has to  hold, which is more than that she held  seven years ago, due to my father's  imperfections.  My brother has his gf  to take care of, who lately has been  getting drunk with friends.  And here I  am, alone.  <br />
<br />
  To watch something I wish was upon  myself...to realise that I'm not as  good as I thought I was...these are the  things that are draining the life out  of me.  So understand my words and  don't take them harshly.  You will  always be my friend, but whether as  close as we used to be...is something  that I am still unclear about.<br />
<br />
  Yours truly,<br />
  Stephanie ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay.  Will be posting my artwork soon  so expect a bombardment of them this  weekend or Friday.<br />
<br />
Had a small argument (not quite) with  Renee today because of:<br />
*Glasses<br />
*Me always being "Chuen" (meaning being  really mean and stuff)<br />
<br />
I will openly express my unhappinness  here though I do not expect <i>any</i>  sympathy.  I'm so sick of being called  something that, Renee truly knows, is  not f*ing true.  For goodness sakes if  I really am that mean why the hell do  you still wanna be friends with me?   Honestly!  Second, how come whenever  something bad happens to you, and  something to me, all the attention has  to be diverted to you while I struggle  along with all my problems?  Honestly!   Why do you always make me look so  inferior and you look more superior?   As if everything to <b>you</b> is so much more  important?  I'm being a total bitch  right now.  But this is what really  goes on in my head.<br />
<br />
I don't understand sometimes...how come  I care about Renee so much that I still  stick up for her whether she is right  or wrong, stupid looking or intelligent  etc.  I comforted her even though I  wished I received some comfort as well,  and I didn't get any (well I got a  microgram of it) from her.  Of course,  I suppose I live on the line <i>give but  do not expect to receive</i> but now...I'm  starting to, in a way <b>lose</b> it.  I've  had quite frankly enough of being the  guardian angel in some respects, now I  wanna being comforted and cared for but  of course I won't be because I earned  my independence because I'm looking  after everyone else.  I know I'm being  selfish...I'm repeating myself.  <br />
<br />
And because of all this crap in my  life...I ended up crying for a whole  breaktime because I feel so hurt inside  with everything that's happened.  Even  though it happened 3 months ago it  still hurts, and it doesn't help having  pressure from the family as well.   Sometimes I just want to scream until  I've run out of breath.  I'm not mad.   I'm just upset at how I'm being so  foolish and also so selfish at the same  time.<br />

End of term today.  I'm getting back  with Renee but I'm still not connecting  with her.  Because quite frankly, I'm  not sorry for anything I've done  because, well what <i>have</i> I done?  See,  I'm being self-centered again because I  don't see the wider picture but I'm  tired of everything that's going on.   I'm tired of this whole life!   Sometimes I just wanna disappear for a  day so that I can try and "find" myself  again because...I feel like I'm never  the same person...I'm like 'x' number  of people stuck in one body and I don't  have one mind practically.  Sometimes  I'm like this, sometimes like that.   And I'm <b>not</b> making any sense.<br />
<br />
The fact is...is that...I just want to  be happy.  That's it.  I don't care any  more, whether I get a boyfriend,  whether my grades are the best etc.   All this is so superficial, it doesn't  matter anymore.  But then again maybe  it <i>does</i> and I don't realise it.  In a  way, I feel confused too.  I dunno what  I want to do now...I just wanna get  away from all this shit and start over  again.  But it's impossible to erase  the past like pencil marks on a paper.   Some things just stick with you. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>Directly copied from my Xanga</i><br />
<br />
Stuff happened and screwed up my day.   Stupid teachers, stupid certificates,  stupid stupid....OH Whatever I'am the  one who completely messed up my own  life and made it so hard to  reconstruct.<br />
<br />
Okay had the worst day of my life  today.  It started off in the  morning...waking up at one hour  intervals.  Then hitting my head with  the stupid medicine cabinet, getting  toothpaste all over my shirt.  Then I  spilled the cereal all over myself, I  got my hair all wet from the rain...I  was freezing in school and then I got  all this stuff from the teacher which  totally peeved me off and I just  totally...broke down in Chemistry (even  though I got a really good mark in the  mock).  I feel so stupid...I mean how  come it all comes down to me?<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter anymore...that's what  my mum said but to me it means the  world.  I thought I'd be able to do  well and now look...I look so dumb and  in someways I don't even think I  deserve to be where I am today.   Plus...now what does everyone  (actually, I'm pointing at one person  in particular) think of me?  They're  probably laughing at the fact.<br />
<br />
If only I could go back and change  everything...maybe life wouldn't be  like this ]]></description>
